man, first yice-president and gen.
eral manager of the Wells-Fargo Ex-
press Company, with offices at 81
Broadway.
He explained that on october 2S,
following the first outbreak, he had
a conference with Mayor Wittpenn to
see what could be done for the pro-
lection of the express company's
property. The witness said that he
went to the mayors office, accom-
panied by Charles w. Stockton, coun-
sci for the company.
I'VE had quite a long talk then"
said the witness. THE mayor ex-
pressed his regret that the trouble
had occurred, and said he. would do
all in his power to stop it,gbecause he
had a lot of friends in the employ of
the Wells Fargo Company.
'I explained to him that our wagons
were being attacked and the business
of the company was being held up,
and that an attempt had been made
to set fire to our stables and wagons.
He said he would give the matter
his immediate consideration. The po-
lice were sent up after that, but they
did not offer us enough protection.
Then the police department issued an
edlct forbidding us to operate wagons
before s o'clock In the morning or
after $50 at night, and stated fur
Their that we must notify headquar-
tiers one hour before we attempted
to move our wagons.
THAT tied us all up.
Later in the month, when the
strikers began to riot, number of
our employees were injured and some
even left unconscious in the road.
1--WE phoned for an ambulance, and
the authorities said 1t would be
dangerous to attempt to get the am
bulance through, as the strikers would
mob It, Then we had to send the in
tured over to New York.
"These conditions continued until
about November IL. 1910, before we
were able to revert to our regular
traffic again"
Questioned by Attorney Dixon, for
the defendant. Mr.. Stedman explained
that the Wells-Fargo Company had
no trouble with their employees.

GUATEMALA REPLY
Note Demands Payment OF
Debt, but UItimatum Re-
port Is Denied.

LONDON. April 2s.--The British
lished report that 1t had sent an ulti-
matum to Guatemala. At the foreign
Office it was said that all that had
been done so far WAS to make re-
newed presentation of Great Britains
urgent demand for the payment Of
Guatemala's Indebtedness, the bulk of
which has been owing for twenty-five
years.
No date was mentioned for the
presentation of Guatemala's reply,
nor were threats of reprisals made by
Great Britain. The foreign office
points out that the time for such
action has not yet arrived. as Great
Britain is still awaiting the answer
of Guatemala.
WASHINGTON. April %. = Great
Britain again is pressing Guatemala
for satisfaction of the long-standing
claims of British subjects. The at
tention of the state department has
been directed to the situation by the
Guatemalan minister here and the
outcome is expected to devlop in
some measure an indication of the
administrators policy toward Cen
trail American republics and their for
eign debts.
A loan of 100000 to $40. 900, 900 by
American banking houses has been
under way for some time. but never
contaminated. With it's proceeds it
was proposed to pay Guatemala
British debts and reform her currency
system. The delay has been irritating
to both the United States and Great
Britain.

THE RIGHT WAY TO GET THIN


There is a new anti-ferment which

Physicians have proved this by count

each meal take one Berledet to force
out the fat-forming food.
The result is the same as from semi
starvation. The body, needing fat,
feeds On the stored-up tissue. Thus
reduction comes naturally.
Constant reduction is guaranteed by
a warrant in each box. And chem

Yield of Fibre.
Average

Alfalfa has proved to be the best
alternating crop to be used with this
cotton, Mr.. Schofield said. The quail
ty of the cotton was excellent, some
of the lint stapling slightly more than
IL inches and the bulk l ZIG inches
The price obtained for the cotton, he
said, varied between q and 2S cents
a pound. About 1900 pounds of seed
cotton of the Yuma variety, the kind
used, yielded 50O-pound bale, and
the cotton seed obtained therefrom
was more than sufficient to pay for
the ginning and baling, even when
sold to an oil mill at the low figure
of SIS ton.
Mr. Schofeld estimated the cost of
producing an acre of Egyptian cotton
-basing his estimate on averages
at approximately $61, exclusive of in
terest on land investments. This he
divided as follows: Seed. tillage and
irrigation, SIS: picking Q,800 pounds
seed cotton), $36: ginning and baling
SO AS the average yield in the Salt
river valley experiment was in ex-
cess of bale an acre, the profit was
consequently a good one, approximate
ing $50 an acre.
