TESTIMONY is
TAKEN IN THE

San Francisco Cal, Dec. 1S.-HThe
annual report of the Western Fuel
company for 1909, read by President
John l.. Howard to the directors and
again to the stockholders, informed

year, the company sold that much
more coal at current prices than 1t
had actually received or was in pos
session of.
President Howard's report was
ready today to the jury which is try
ing President Howard and seven 9th
er director officers and employees OF
the Western Fuel company, for an al
legged conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent of customs dues and full
value on imported coal, by an elabor-
ate system of short weights, which
netted the company since its incorpo-
ration in 1904 $500, ,000,o half its capi-
tai stock.
David Norcross, secretary of the
company, was asked what this over
run meant.
'The books would show" he said,
"that we had sold that much more
coal than we bought. The coal in
question was imported by ships re-
turning in ballast from Australia, ana
was bought by the Western Fuel COM
pany on the showing of weight maze
by its own scales, at from W to $S
ton, later to be retailed to San Fran
cisco dealers at from So to So.
From scorched and water-soaked
ledger, containing the minutes OF the
board of directors, that had passed
the great fire of 1906, counsel
for the government read entries show
ing the dividends paid by the COM
pany. Since 1904 they have averaged
between 10 and IL per cent year.

patch of large quantities OF rations
across the border from Presidio to-
day, following the receipt of urgent
messages from the war department at

dore Mercado to take the offensive

hua were preparing to attack the Villa
forces. Mercado had previously stat
ed that unless the rebels attacked
Ojinaga soon, the federals would
leave for the interior. He then an

here that should he actually assume
the aggressive he would more likely
move toward Juarez, which is less

expressed the belief that the capture
of Juarez would be more advantageous
to the federal cause than that of Chi

MY friends, every one OF you was
born Of a woman. That woman your
mother passed through the valley Of
the shadow Of death to bring you into
the world. Have you forgotten that
fact? n you have children. you can
not have forgotten It. Every other
man. manufacturer or merchant, or
working man or woman, who sue
ceeds you, must be born OF a woman
and hundreds Of these women are
those who are working for you. Does
n { this fact appeal to you at all?
Is it not well to safeguard in every
way that half OF humanity which pro-
duces not only their half, but the
other half the men?
You men who are opposed to wom-
an -uffrage base your strongest ar
gument on the fact that woman is
physically different, in other words,
weaker i'm constitution than men. If
you elieve this. (and it Is true), does
It not seem right that you should
legislate TO save her strength. to
safeguard her health, 10 make her
more efficient?
You pay her less for her labor
than you do q man, should she have
to work longer? AS a matter OF fact,
should she work as long as a man
does?
In closing would say it would
be wise for you to accept the pro-
posed Ten Hour Law as It is. for
as sure as the sun shines even on
a cloudy day, you are going to have
la nine or eight hour day put uD to
you IN two years from now am
led to believe this by what I read

mixed with olive oil. These pleasant,
