SHAM LAWSUITS
MAY BE result
Judge Murasky Rules Plaintiffs
May Take Dispositions in
SpreckeIs Will Case

In the suit Of Rudolph Spreckels and
Gus spreckels. as executors OF the estate
of Claus SpreekeIs. deceased. to have
the Union trust company removed as
trustee under the s25oO.Ooo bond issue
of the Oceanic steamship cOmpany,
Judge Murasky ruled yesterday that
the plaintiffs were entitled TO take the
dispositions of l. ". Hellman. John ..
spreckels and others. The formal
minute entry made in the case was
Ordered objection of plaintiffs to con
sideration of defendants motion 60 dis
continue taking Of deposition OF l. ".
Hellnran ct Al. sustained
RESTORES STATUS OF CASE
This restores the case to the status il
had reached three months ago when
Hellman and the other witnesses whose
depositions it was attempted to take
refused to answer certain questions on
the advice of their attorneys. II was
argued by the lawyers for the Union
trust company and the Oceanic steam
ship company that the depositions were
not being taken in good faith and that
the real purpose was to obtain tnfOr-
nation TO aid the plaintiffs In .other
litigation they contemplated.
W. l.. BTOOeck- attorney III the dttlPit
for the Oceanic steamship COMPANY,
explained the scope and effect of Judge
Murasky's ruling as follows:
The question involved in the motion
which the court has refused TO consider
was the question whether the plaintiffs
were seeking to take these dispositions
in good faith for the purpose of assist
ing them in the trial Of the case. or
whether they were seeking to take
them for ulterior purposes. and more
particularly for the purpose of assist
ing them in the preparation and fnstt-
tuition of other litigation.
THE ruling is of Importance, not so
much to the parties Immediately con
cerned. as ii is in its relation to tAe
practice to be followed If ii is pos
sible for party to an action 10 begin
the taking of a deposition for a purpose
other than the prosecution OF the action
In which the deposition is being taken
the effect will be that sham actions
may be instituted for the purpose OF
quent action TO be brought between
relating TO entirely different matters.
1T would seem that in matters Of
this kind. where much litigation is
pending and is promised between the
parties. the court should be reluctant
to permit the taking of depOsitiOns in
advance of trials when Ii is charged
that they are being taken for some
such purpose So far as the ease i'm
hand is concerned. the ruling is not Of
great significance.

HAMPTON'S MAGAZINE GETS
ssCHANTECLER'

Announcement has just been made
by Hampton s Magazine that Edmond
Rostand has chosen this publication as
the one to print the English translation
of Chantecler.' The translator is
Miss Gertrude Hall, who did such ex
cellent work with Cyrano de Bergerac
and L'Aiglon, Rostand's famous his
torical dramas.
"Chantecler' according to critics is
the one literary sensation thus far of
the twentieth century. 1t is not only
an ingenious and striking drama; ii
is an exquisitely wrought lyrical poem
It's position in the annals of the theater
is unique. As is usual with French
sensation, "Chantecler' has been
tremendously dvertised-perhaps the
most advertised piece of literary com
position ever written. Long before its
premiere it was being talked about in
literary circles all over France, Ger
many, England and America.
It's production at once placed upon
the market an amazing array of
q 'Chantecler' styles in millinery and
various knick-nacks and trinkets OF
fashion,
Huge prices have been paid to Ed
mond Rostand for his work. In all it
has been figured that he VIII make five
hundred thousand dollars on it. Seats
for the opening performance in the
Theater Porte Ste. Martin sold for as
high as $40 each.
Photographs of the original French
production of the play are selling for
as high as $50 piece. In fact there
seems to be perfect orgy of money in
connection with this latest Rostard
tour de force.
1t will appear exclusively in Hamp-
ton s. beginning in the June number.
The piece is composed of four acts and
will be published during June, July,
August and September.
The editor announces that the June
cover of the magazine win consist of
the striking figure of red rooster
growing at dawn--thus epitomizing the
main theme of Chanteeler. =
As soon as Hampton's has serializee
the work it will be issued next fall In
book form, and Mr.. Charles Frohmar
also promises to produce it on Broad
way next winter, presumably affordins

The prelate was met at the station

friends called. all of whom expressed
their pleasure at having Father

left for Golconda this morning on No
A, for the purpose of taking a course
of treatment at the hot springs for
rheumatism.
Mr. Dickey stated that when work
was shut down Thursday evening the
well had been sunk for depth of 100
feet, the average having been 25 feet
for the four days work. IT had been
expected that for the first ten days 40
to so feet per day would be made, but
considerable delay was occasioned by
accidents to the engine.

Pure FOOD
INCONSISTENCIES

The government Pure Food Commits
sion in its zeal to put stop to false
labelling of various classes of goods
ignore trade customs and attempt to
re-clasify certain products. such as
wine, and if successful would cause un-
told damage to the great wine indus
try. The question at issue now is SINH
lar to the one decided by the president
some time ago in reference to the
proper designation of blended whisky.
The commission wished to strip it Of
the name of whisky and call it alco-
hol. That would have destroyed the
trade in "blendedo goods, which rep
resents about rs per cent of all that is
consumed. Blended WHISKY is as pure
as the straight and is certainly
whisky After the vigorous pro-
tests of the dealers and the firm stand
of DR.. Wiley, the president was appeal
ed to and promptly decided it was
whisky.
Now the winegrowers are up in arms
preparing to fight against the decision
of the commission about the use of the
well known names of wine, such as
sherry, port, claret, etc, because the
names are all foreign. They have been
usd for centuries as trade names, wher-
ever wine is produced, merely to desig-
nate the class and there are no other
names that can replace them. Each
wine is made from certain grape. I'm
California cuttings from the European
vines have been imported and planted.
The result is the California claret If
duplicate of the French article. The
same is the case with port, sherry, etc.
The California wine has attained such
a degree of excellence that it does not
have to pose as French product. Only
the best Franch wines can equal the
best California article of the same
name. Tn fact many California wine
growers take pride in advertising on
their labels the fact that the wine is
made in California.
The commission is attempting to hu-
niliate American winegrowers by COM
relling them to print on their labels
/" Sherry Typt, - American Type"
etc, in place of California sherry, etc.
No doubt the president viii again be
to for a decision.
A strange inconsistency is shown on
the part of government officials in
t Farmers Bulletin 391-Economical
Use of Meat in the Home.o The bull
letin as whole is a most valuable
work and will no doubt accomplish
much good throughout the country,
