Thirty or more ships -will be the
fleet of the American-Hawaiian Steam
ship company when the Panama canal
"is in operation. The Tehauntepec rail
road will then not receive the business
from the big steamship concern that it
Is now getting, and furthermore there
will be a direct refrigerator service for
citrus fruits between San Francisco,
New Tor and New Orleans via Panama
and Colon. ,
With the Newport News Shipbuilding
company have been placed orders for
six fine steamers, and to this fleet will
be added several .more large ( vessels
that will be capable, of accommodating
many passengers, and at' the same time
9 taking care of the cold' storage; {business
that will give California 'citrus' and
other fruits an outlet In the markets of
the east at what may be a greatly re
duced cost ""of service.
BOOST FOR FRUIT INDUSTRY
Maybe the threatened reduction of
tariffs on citrus fruits will not amount
to much when the new service is In
stituted. •
•'And there may be other liners in
service, too," add officials of the Ameri
can-Hawaiian company.
We intend toinaugurate cold stor
age for citrus fruits and eastern ship
ments from San Francisco, Los Angeles
and San Diego through the canal," said
* H. W. Poett, local representative' of
Williams. Dimond & Co., the guiding
spirit of the American-Hawaiian ves
sels. ■ .""
"When the canal opens we. will have
not less than 27 vessels in our fleet,
and we can handle the citrus crop on
short time with the ships that we have
ordered.
"They are to be built at Newport
News and there will be additional ves
sels added to our fleet as urines* re
. -quires.";;. . ',„•'".
In the office of -General Purchasing
Agent Cook the report that the Ha
waiian-American is; going into a much
larger business than it now enjoys
was verified. ■-•,/■/ /,/ ! ;
AID TO CITRUS BELT
The company, It was announced, in
tends to put as much of Its business
through the canal as possiblethat is,
new business. This new business means
a to a large extent the output,of ,the
N recently developed.- citrus districts in
Glenn and Colusa counties. What is
known as the Butte county citrus belt
-will also come in on this plan.
*Jin the south much of the citrus crop
has been handled through the Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific and the pre-cool
ing plants are at San Bernardino, Col
ton and other points in that section.
New York advices from the Williams,
Dimond company have it that the
American-Hawaiian company will be in
San Francisco and Los Angeles with
pre-cooling plants for steamship
service. ■-■
This service may possibley be fur
nished /by/the National Ice and Cold
Storage'company, but officers of that
concern profess not to- know anything
of the plans. They, do know, however,
that they*are In a position at a com- I

cargoes that might be turned over to j
them. '."■ - ? i

that Craganour ; had been disqualified
for bumping in the 'stretch, /arid that
the ! race f had been awarded to, the out
sider Aboyeur, who had made all the

It was stated that the owner of
"Aboyeur had raised no" objection to the
winner, but the stewards of the' Jockey
club r. had ,instituted an inquiry/;
LAST {PRECEDENT IN 1844
i It is almost unheard of for an objec

an "extraordinary contrast ;to ' the

in the first : fatality' of : the militant
campaign.
Those 'nearest Tattenharii corner had
a glimpse of 'a woman darting'directly"
in front of two galloping horses. She
ducked almost under ;Agadir's neck to
reach Anmer.

the horse; Mothers* that she seized; the

According to : some,"uAnmeK"s shoul
