Claims Lemon
Trust Exists.

New York, Dec. 22.-Charges that a
lemon trust exists in New York and has
maintained a lobby in Washington to re-
duce the tariff on lemons are made in a
suit filed here Saturday by William S.
Armstrong, receiver for the Mercadante-
Regan Co., importers of fruits.
Armstrong seeks to recover damages
from the Sicula- Americana Steamship
Co, which he says entered into an agree
ment in 1911 with the Fruit Importers
Union and other importers of lemons to
add two pence, English money, to the
regular freight rate on every box of
lemons brought here by the line.
The Mercadante-Regan Co., which fall
ed in 1912, was not member of the union
or a party to the agreement, Armstrong
relates, but was compelled to use the
steamers of the Sicula-Americana Co.
and pay the extra rate.
The plaintiff alleges that this extra tax
was to be used to lobby for reduction
of the tariff on Italian lemons in opposi-
ton to the efforts of California lemon
growers, who wanted the tariff retained

NEW LANGUAGE INVENTED.
Natives in Our Island Possessions
Have Unconsciously Adopted Curl
Gus Dialect.

Fifteen years ago the American flag
first fioated over Malay Archipelago
in the far Pacific. Spanish was the
current speech among the upper classes
there. The common people spoke a
dozen different dialects-unintelligi
one to the other.
We came, saw and possessed, and,
shortly after the flag, boat loads OF
teachers arrived with the school books
and pedagogy of the West.
The teachers brought American lit
erature with them. They brought
American songs. American games,
American ideas and American ideals
and they brought the American man
ner of speech.
Meanwhile a reflex action was quiet
ly at work Without realizing 1t the
newcomers were being Influenced by
the new land and the new people.
New methods of living were enforced
on the Americans. Their rules of health
did not always apply. Day after day
they were surrounded by people OBJ
serving strange customs. following a
totally different moral code and speak
ing an unfamiliar tongue.
Gradually the customs became less
strange, the moral code less different
and the tongue less unfamiliar. While
endeayoring to establish their ways
and methods the Americans uncon-
eiously We're yielding to the ways and
methods of the country.
Many things of great value in the
old order had no place in the new. In
particular the old manner of speech
often failed to convey the meaning
intended.
The Americans daily encountered
things they had no name for. They met
conditions which could not be aptly
described in their own tongue. The Fill
p:no obligingly furnished the name or
expression from some one of his YER
naculars and it passed into the cur
rent speech of the American.
Then certain officials, trades, articles
Of clothing and food that had names in
English would be repeatedly referred
to by the Filipinos in their own dialect
when they talked with their teachers.
Gradually the teachers came to use
the same expressions.
We have been a separate Nation
from England for over 100 years and
our Americans have been in the Phil
