LONDON BANK FAILURE

Baxton. manag- ing director of the Mabahi property. who returned from the ranch yesler- day. In a statement he said: i "As ] understand it, the firm went into liquidation on the 9th inst. and it appears tO be on account of the operation of A.

 "The bank has large holdings in the Sonora Land and Timber Com Iauy, and up to the 6th were the London bankers to the company. but other very powerful banks, such as the Swiss Bankberen, the National Bank of Switzerland Hugo Scherar & Co.,, and others are heavily inter ested in the company The bond hold CTS of the property are also repre-. sented by powerful American houses.

TITANIC WILL SHOW
 STEAMSHIP LIABILITY
 IN ACCIDENT CASES

New York, June 15.- Several impor- tant questoins as to the status Of Tt tanic claimants against the White Star line have come Co the surface since the United States Supreme Court decided that American admir- ality law was applicable Co the lines plea for limitation These questions of course. are contingent upon the final adjudication of the steamship lines plea II no negligence is proved. there Is no liability; if negli- gence is proved on the part of officers commanding the ship the liability will be limited to passenger fares paid and salvage; if negligence is estab- hshed Go the extent of the company 8 knowledge and privity liability will be unlimited
 Some of the best and disinterested admiralty minds in the country can conceive that the White Star line will win It's plea for liability This limita- uon would comprehend liability of S970OO consisting of passenger fares paid and salvage The question. therefore. which most vitally affects the interest of claiments is. Can they bring suits in the English courts in order to get more than the American courts allowed?
 A very fine and. as yetundebated point of law is involved in the answer. ing of this question. but the opinion seems Co be that the British statute of limitation. one year an two years respectively for life and property claims. will prevent such a transfer of suits. The Titanic disaster occurred April 15. 1912
 Another question which has arisen is, in the event that the White StaI line should be saddled with unlimited liability. would such liability be in itself limited to the value of the White Star line? The best legal opinion seems to hold that it would be limited to the value of the companys assets It is. however. a far cry Co the suppo sition that the total amount of claims which would finally be returned a gainst it would exceed the value ol those assets. But assuming for

BEET SUGAR FOR
FINEST CANDIES
SAYS R. H. SAWYER
Best CONNECTIONS Are Made From
Local Factory Product; Cane
Superiority a Myth.

The old belief that cane sugar is
superior to the beet product is a myth
and nothing else, according to II. H..
Sawyer, who has built up a reputa-
ton for fine candies while using
thousands of dollars worth of Grand
Junction beet sugar.
The cane manufacturers have
made much of the supposed inferi-
ority of beet sugar Mr.. Sawyer went
on, but an honest trial ought to con-
vince any one that for ordinary pur-
poses there is no appreciable differ
ence."
Sawyers are now making horehound
stick, the regular commercial stick
and the opera twist candies. and in
fact there is not a confection OF high
grade on the regular market that he
Is not manufacturing and all from
beet sugar.
There are two candy factories in
this city and while they both do
large business, they produce prob
ably not more than one-tenth the
candy consumption of the communi-
ty. This is a ripe field for the home
products worker. and attention
ought to be brought to every person
in the city that homemade candy is
fresher and better and fully as cheap.

The matter was taken up at the
