SUMMER SHRINKING STRUGGLE IS NOW ON
Weatherly to Take Up Mat ter With Street Railway
 Companies

The regular summer sprinkling struggle is on at the city hall. Yesterday City At torney Boyd was instructed to appear be- fore United States Judge Grubb and ask that the Tidewater lines which are being administered by the bankruptcy courts, be allowed to expend their usual appro- priation for sprinkling their tracks.
 Commissioner Weatherly was authorized to take up with Manager J. H. P. De- Windt, of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company, the same proposi- tion.
 The entire sprinlxling question was placed by the commission in the hands of Commissioner Weatherly and Street Com missioner Frank Gafford MT. Weatherly stated it was probable that the business sections of the different suburbs would be sprinl1led by the street department in or der to keep down dust, but that sprinkling in the residence sections would be impos- sible unless the citizens paid for fs.
 And a plan along this line Is being considered whereby the citizens of a block, if they desire it, will be given the use of a city sprinkler and team If they will furnish the man to sprinkle the street. The commission also considered the ques- tion of sprink1ing and making a charge gainst the abutting property on the reg ular assessment basis and something of this kind may be worked out providing the citizens show a desire in that direc- tion

LARNED'S HISTORY OF THE WORLD A HOUSE. HOLD NECESSITY. A WORK OF MON-
 UMENTAL RE-
 SEARCH

Larned's History of the World, on dis tribution to the readers of this paper, is a work par excellence for the lover of literature. It really unites the researches os genuine scholarship with the genius of letters. and is of absorbing interest throughout. Every page grips the at tention and the memory finds it easy to retain the contents told in fasci- mating a style Wherever the book is opened it presents a portion of the vast panorama of the ages painted in vivid colors by master of language. Whether the reader has any special historical knowledge or not, if he loves good read ing. he will love Larned. But in the five great volumes now on distribution by this paper, thesbeautles of both his- tory and literature make direct appeal
 and the work finds double welcome. We urge our readers in all good faith to take advantage of our good fortune in being one of a great syndicate of daily newspapers that is able to distribute Il work of this merit almost free. Profit does not enter into the plan; the coupons are the main consideration and will be printed in these columns short time longer. They should be clipped at once.

franchise tax bll-but in substance was repeated to me by MT Barnes on at least a dozen other occasions"
 Colonel Roosevelt said that in 1899 and 1900, Mir Barnes was surveyor of the port of Albany. He was appointed by President Mckinley and Colonel Roosevelt reappointed him.
 "All my prepossessions were strongly in Mir Barnes favor" the colonel said. q corresponded with him before and after I was President, and MT. Barnes visited me at the White House on q number of occasions
 The witness read a letter he had re- received from Barnes when Hughes vas governor, which said:
 "In view of newspaper articles re- garding certain legislation at Albany, I think it is possible you may have wrong impression regarding the ac- tion taken by me. The rumors which were carried came out of the fertile minds of newspaper men. I think 1t hardly necessary for me to write you this, but ] thought. as I said above wrong impression may have been conveyed to your mind. I have done what l believe is right in the matter.
 'I believe 1t will work out all right and while I may be injured so far 2s our best people are concerned. it r.akes little difference what injures me and what does not. so long as I am able to keep my head above water"
 A copy of letter in reply was read by the witness.
 You need not be in the least afraid of my failing to understand your po- sition," 1t said. 'I am confident that whatever course you may follow Is one that you believe to be the wise and proper course to take"
 When Colonel Roosevelt was excused for the day, Charles N. Winche ster vice president and general manager of the J. E. Lyon company of Albany, a printing concern, was called to show how much the concern received for printing and other things the defense desires to know about printing con tracts After MT. Winchester had agreed to permit accountants to ga

court whether he might tell of the con- versation he had with MT. Barnes on the ethics of boss rule. Justice Andrews said that was immaterial.
 Witness and justice then entered into discussion, which resembled an argument between counsel, but the court held to it's original decision Colonel Roosevelt turned to MT. Bowers and said: Can I confer with you moment? ?' "Oh, mo-" replied MT. Bowers. We lawyers have ways of getting such things in evidence We will get 1t in another way"
 MT. Twins then objected to a question involving MT. Murphy.
 If Mr. Murphy's name Is to come into 1 this case now, I think we ought to have something to show that he is a leader or l the democratic party. We also should have something about Mir. Barnes being a leader. At least two persons must be | in a conspiracy and we have nothing yet | to show that Mir Murphy actually leads | a section of the democratic party. AS a matter of fact MT. Murphy wasn't leader | of Tammany Hall in 1899, when these things testified to are supposed to have occurred"
 l Justice Andrews said the inference was l taken that some one was leader of Tam many Hall then, and that the defendant | learned that there was an agreement be-
 tween the republican and democratic 1 leaders.
 | After an extended argument the court announced that the question of admitting testimony regarding things not mentioned | in the answer to the complaint would be decided tomorrow morning, when attor- neys for both sides will appear before him for conference. In the meantime,
 he told attorneys they might continue along another line.
 | Now, Colonel Roosevelt said MT.
 Bowers, lis there anything you have for gotten to state concerning the conversa- 1 tions you have had with MT. Barnes?'
 Protect Big Business Yes" replied the witness. MT. Barnes
 stated that it was essential to protect the l big business interests, because. unless they were protected, they would not make l contributions to the party failing to pro- tect them; that without such contribu- tons it was impossible to carry on the or ganization, and that without organization without leaders, without bosses-he uset specifically the word bosses party gov
 ernment was impossible. And he used thil phrase: The people are not fit to gov
 ern themselves. Theys have got to b.
 governed by the party organization, an' you cannot run an organization, you can
 not have leaders, unless you have money

GOLFERS SUE COUNTY
FOR $4,000 DAMAGE

LOS ANGELES, May 25.-HoW
much are the members of a golf club
damaged by having the difficulties OF
their course increased an average OF
five strokes?
This is one of the questions Su-
perior Judge Works must decide in a
case now on trial before him.
The case is that Of the San Gabriel
Valley Country Club against Los An
geles County. During the winter rains
of 1913 and 1914 the wash through
the San Gabriel golf course was wild
ened SO that it now takes an average
of five strokes more to play the course
than it did before the rains descended
and the floods came. Members of the
club declare that the eXasperation due
to the amage to the course is worth
not less than $4,000 or $14,46O for
each lost stroke. In their complaint
they demand that sum.

1856 SEA-GOING SHIPS PASS
THROUGH CANAL IN MARCH

WASHINGTON, May 25. - Traffic
through the Panama canal during
March was considerably greater than
for any preceding month. A total of
1876 sea-going vessels passed, carrying
635,057 tons of cargo This is between
one-third and two-ffths more vessels
than had used the canal in any pre-
ceding month, and 186100 more tons
of cargo, exceeding previous records
by over 40 per cent
The tolls during March we're $685.
413, making the tolls collected in the
canal since it's opening $2,971,67
Chilean nitrates took first place in
the traffic, amounting to ,O25 tons,
tWo-thirds of which went to the United
States. Sugar came second, coal third,
lumber fourth and barley fifth in order.
One American line of steamers has
carried 699,342 tons of cargo through
the canal, two of it's ships having
made six trips.

GERMANS CHOKING
GAS WAS SULPHUR

LONDON, May 24.-Several military
experts have suggested that the as
phyxiating gas used by the Germans in
their great effort to break through the
allies lines at Ypres was in fact sui
phur fumes. If this proves to be the
case, the Germans have adopted the
famous Lord Dundonald secret war
plan,
Lord Dundonald submitted his war
plan to various British secret commit
tees from 1912 to 1876. 1t was con-
demned by all as too inhuman, though
quite irresistible. Dundonald wanted
to have it used against Sebastopol dur
ing the Crimean war, and declared it
would reduce the fortress in four
hours.
Some months ago, certain writer's
we're anxious to have the plan brought
out of the British archives and used
against the Germans, if still feasible,
on the ground that the Germans had
put themselves outside the pale. How
ever, when the plan came out, few
months ago, it proved to be merely the
method of smoking the enemy out with
sulphur fumes. DundOnald reckoned
that so much fuel, so much sulphur and
a favorable wind would do the trick.
The Germans evidently thought so, too,
with results we already know.

DECIDUOUS FRUIT SEASON
OPENING IS ECCENTRIC
REPORTS INDICATE THAT MANY
CROPS WILL FLUCTUATE
Apricot Crop Promises To Be Larger
Than Last Year-FuII Crop of
Plums and Prunes Also Ex-
pected-Pears rs Per Cent

SACRAMENTO, May 25.-Unusually
dreary weather through the latter part
of April and early in May, following a
warm spell during March, has made
the opening of the California deciduous
fruit season this year. one of the most
eccentric on record, according to rep
resentatives of state fruit companies
with headquarters here.
The apricot crop promises to be much
larger than last year. Full crops are
reported from Yolo county and the
Suisun, Solano county, district, where
only 20 per cent of a crop was pro
duced last year,
A full crop of plums and prunes in
the principal producing sections also
is expected. The only exception is the
report OF about IS per cent of a crOL
OF French prunes from the Santa Clara
valley.
Generally speaking, it is not thought
Bartlett pears will amount this veal
to more than rs per cent of a crop
taking all the districts of the state into
consideration. Damage by thrips has
been great in some sections, but blight
has been held in check by rigorous
work, the neglect of which was sc
costly during the season of 1914.
Along the Sacramento river the pear
growers report rs per cent of a crop
While the growers of Suisun report
only so per cent, and those of Vaca
Vile only rs per cent. In these last
two named districts the attack has
been most severe. Mountain districts
expect little more than IS per cent
with a fine quality Of fruit
The peach crop in most of the dis
tr1cts of the state is reported to show
excellent promise, with the exception
that in the San Joaquin valley there
has been a severe attack of a new bac
terial disease known as little leaf,
to combat which the legislature has
asked the aid of the United States de
partment of agriculture.
1t is little early to estimate the
grape crop as yet, but growers anG
shippers are confident the crop will be
a large one, due to increased bearing
| acreages. However, because of SLOW
setting of fruit in some sections, it is
not believed that the output will ex
ceed shipments of last year, wher
uIOIS Iudu O,UUU cars were S11DD0C
into Eastern markets.
Green fruit growers now are anxious
| ly awaiting warmer weather, which is
needed to force the fruit on to ma
turity.
The almond will suffer in some sec
tions this season because of the ap
pearance of a fungus disease traced to
the fact that some growers failed tt
spray. A total loss is reported from
some orchards of Yolo county.
