SUGAR TRUST HEARING
IS TO Be EXPEDITED

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-Arguments
on demurrer in the sugar trust case
were heard today and it is expected
that a speedy decision will be reach
ed Meanwhile the price of sugar is
soaring and the public is paying the
freight.
Attorney General Wickersham
wants to expedite the governments S
action against the sugar trust, and
for that purpose has filed in the feder
al circuit court certificate OF expc-
dition asking that the case, because
Of it's general public Importance, have
precedence over other cases now
pending. The same action has been
taken in the case of the steamship
trust
The encouragement is authorized to
take this action by an act of 1903,
amended in 1910, and entitled, can act
to expedite the hearing and determi-
nantion of suits in equity pending or
hereafter to be brought under the act
of July 2, 1890, entitled AN act to
protect trade and commerce against
unlawful restraints and monopolies,'
an act to regulate commerce. approx
ed Feb. 4, 1887, or any other acts hav-
ing a like purpose that may hereaf-
ter be enacted"
The effect of filing the certificates
will be to bring up the suits before a
full bench of circuit judges instead
of one, thus eliminating an inter-
mediate appeal to the circuit court of
appeals. Following today's action, di-
rect appeal will now lie to the United
States supreme court.

.ESCUDERO TO RETIRE
FROM GOVERNORSH|P

San Diego Tribune: According to
announcement there is strong prob
ability of Governor Escudero not re-
turning to Lower California as chief
executive of the peninsula. General
Escudero, it is stated, is slated to be
succeeded by brother of the new vice
president of Mexico, and who is known
to be in stronger sympathy with the
Madero party than General Escudero
ras been reported.
While it is not to be doubted that
President Madero will name strong
man as governor of Lower California,
in the event that it is decided by the
Escudero of his duties, there will new
ertheleSs be regret on the part of
many Americans if the rumors now
in circulation are confirmed. Gen
eral Escudero served but a short time
as chief executive of Lower California,
but in that short time he inaugurated
many cOmmendaDle reforms and aided
tremendously in the restoring of pc
ninsula affairs to a normal condition.
He won the highest respect and es-
TEEN OF the people of Lower Califor-
MIA and all Americans who had busi-
ness relations with the Mexican ad-
ministration, not only because of his
unfailing courtesy, but because of the
sound judgment he used in all mat
ters brought to his attention. Gen
eral Escudero's retirement as govern
or of Lower California would be sin
cerely regretted, and if he is retired it
can only be hoped that the new gov
ernor will prove his equal, thus aid
ing materially in the future advance
ment of the peninsula.

TRIED TO ROB THE MIsER
Fable That Explains Why the Lom-
hardy Poplar Holds Its Branches
Close to Trunk.

Once there was a man who had
worked early and late in the hope of
getting rich. He never took a holi-
day nor spent any money. for he
wanted to have a pot full of gold for
his old age. Now. the more money he
got the more unhappy he became. for
hes hRs always afraid that some one
Wodad rob him of his treasure He
hid 1t In his humble home, but he
worried lest It might be taken during
his absence. He buried It In the
ground. but even that did not set his
mind at rest. At last he hid II In the
thick branches Of a very tall tree.
Even then the miser was afraid that
some one would take It, 80 he decided
nt last to carry the pot of gold back to
his home Just there was where the
trouble began. In his eagerness to
hide the treasure he had not made
himself quite sure as to which tres he
bad used for his money bank.
He asked the spreading linden, the
tall sycamore and the honest oak, but
each tree denied knowing anything
about the gold. The lombardy poplar.
too, protested that II had not seen the
pot OF shining money. Just then its
branches were drawn down close to
It's trunk. The tree trembled, for II did
not know what to make Of such q
queer feeling. II fell faint. and forgot
the miser's treasure. That minute
the pot OF gold fell to the ground, and
the lombardy poplar was forever dis.
graccd for the faisehood II had told.
To this day, II you will look, you will
find that all lombardy poplars hold
their branches close up 10 the trunks.
but will never hide any more gold.

THE FIRST WATCH AND CLOCK

Since celebration are the order OF
the day who not observe the sixth
centenary Of the Introduction
OF clocks? It was. we are told, in 1909
tha> the first clock known to the
world was placed in the tower of San
Erstorgia. In Milan.
The greatest astonishment and ad-
miration were manifested by crowds
WHO come to see the timepiece. In

ace OF the mobiles at Padua. This was
wonder Of mechanism indeed. for

g" course OF the sun, the revolutions
I" the planets. the various phases of
the moon, the months and the fetes
of the year.
The priod OF the evolution from the
. clock to the watch was II years. not
so very long all things considered,
and the record of the first watch is
1880 half century later an alarm
clock made 1t appearance. This, we
are told. was looked upon by the peo-
pie OF that age as an "un instrument
prodigeux."
Ihe fortunate possessor OF this
clock was Andrea Alciato, a council
ior OF Milan. The chroniclers have
placed on record that this clock
sounded bell at a stated hour. and
at the same time a little wax candle
was lighted automatically. How this
was done we are not told. but It must
not be overlooked that until about 70
years ago we had no means OF obtain
ing light other than the tinderbox,
so that the Milanese must have been
centuries ahead Of us in this respect.
Not much progress was made with
the watch until 1740. when the second
hand was added.
