CALIFORNIA LEV EES IX DAXGER Great Valleys in Kern County Are Flooded or Threatened. BAKERSFIELD. Cal., May 28. Danger of a flood here is abating.

Gravel from the Kern River pits is to be hauled to the levee to strengthen it. Thousands of acres of land in the re claimed Goose Lake bottom are two feet under water and the loss to the farmers In that locality is enormous. There is no way to atop the flood from the river through the old Goose Lake channel. The Cole levee, another big protecting embankment, has broken several times, and the water has only been checked by the most strenuous efforts. The levee is now holding and 100 men are at work strengthening it. Many thousands of acres on the Miller and Lux ranches have been flooded. Should the Buena Vista levee break, the old Corn Lake, which has held no water for 20 years, and which is. now a fertile wheat Held, will become flooded.

KING MAY VISIT AMERICA London Paper Proposes Meeting of Edward and Roosevelt. LONDON, May 28. In an editorial ar ticle the Daily Telegraph today strongly favors King Edward's acceptance of the invitation to visit Canada. The Daily Telegraph thinks the British public has not yet awakened to a full appreciation of the extraordinary interest of such an event, which would be likely also to in volve a visit to Washington and per haps to New York. The newspaper recognizes that possibly there are state reasons in the 'way of such a visit, but urges that "Canada is a living link between the American Re public and- the British Empire, and that If it can be accomplished it would not only be merely historic, but memorable past all example in the record of royal progresses. The alliance with Japan, the entente with France, tne better under standing with Russia, followed by a visit to Washington and a meeting with Pres ident Roosevelt, would be a dramatic ,mo ment instinct with significance, sealing the reconciliation of the Anglo-Saxon races for ages to come, would make the years of His Majesty's influence more memorable and beneficent than any equal period of any previous reign." v WILLING TO BE ASKED AGAIX Castro Renounces Presidency, but Adnilts Readiness to Resume.

TOTAL IS ABOUT $4,000,000 Adheres to Decision That Collection ' of Duty Before Establishment of Philippine Government Was Without Legal Authority. WASHINGTON, May 28. The Supreme Court of the United States today reiter ated its 'decision of last term in the Philippine case of Warner, Banes & Co. and Frederic W.- Lincoln, involving the validity of tariff collections in the Phil ippine Islands under the executive order of 1897. The opinion was delivered by Chief Justice Fuller. The cases Involve about 000,000. This was the second decision in these cases, which have become somewhat fa mous because of the determined effort of the Government to secure a reversal of the court by itself. The cases involved the right to collect a duty upon Imports into the Philippine Islands from the United States between April 11, 1899, the date of the ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain, and October 25, 1901, when Congress passed an act providing a civil government for the Philippines. The collections were made under the ex ecutive order of July 12. 1898, authorizing the levy of tariff duties as a military contribution. The sum Involved is about $4,000,000, all of which has been paid into the Philippine treasury. Says Congress Ratified Acts. The Court of Claims sustained the ac tion of the executiye department on the ground that the customs service was properly administered under the executive order during the insurrection of the Fili pinos. The Supreme Court reversed that finding in its decision in the last term, but granted a rehearing for the present term, in response to the urgent sollcita tlo of the Government, on the point as to whether Congress, by its action, ratified the collection of duties under the execu tive order. On account of his previous official connection with the Philippines, Secretary Taft has taken an active part in the presentation of the Government side of the controversy. None of the money collected was ever received Into the United States treasury, but It was all used in the administration of Philip pine affairs. In his opinion, Chief Justice Fuller said: Court Sums Up Question: Duties were collected under the order of July 12, 1808, as a military contribution, while the war with Spam was In progress. The treaty was signed December 10. 1898, and the President on December 21 Issued an or der proclaiming the sovereignty of the United States In the Islands and directing duties and taxes to be collected In future as public reve nues for- the support of the Government. When the treaty was ratified, the applicable laws of the United States became operative, but the President nevertheless continued In force the tariff created by the order of July 12. 1808, and by an order of April 21, 1899. and estsbllshed a collective district and un der these orders collections of duties were made. This involves the question whether after April 11, 1869, the President could have enforced any other tariff than such as ex isted under acts of Congress or mlaht be sanctioned by Congress, and that Question was put at rest by this ratification. Notwithstand ing the able argument of -the Attorney-General, we adhere to the conclusion previously announced. Justices White and McKenna dissented. The former had assented to the decision against the Government when the case was formerly before the court, but he said today that in doing so he had erred.

Dapper Young Man Will Be Taken to California City for His Trial. SANTA ROSA. Cal.. May 28. (Special.) The dapper young man who posed here as Dr. C. C. Crandall and assisted at the local hospitals following the earthquake won his way into the good-will of some of the prominent families of the city and then departed with the purse, gold watch and surgical Instruments of Miss Lindsay, a professional nurse, will be brought back here from Portland, where he has been arrested. Sheriff Groce has learned that under the name of Hugh W. Dunn, he served in the Army six years in the Philippines and returned to San Francisco last August. HIs boastful tales of a large and lucrative practice in San Francisco, handsome of fices and high parentage, have proved mythical. Sheriff Groce says that for the past four months Crandall had been work ing on a chicken ranch in Penn Grove, a village near here. There may be more trouble In store for him here when he comes back. Sheriff Groce, of Santa Rosa, who ar rived yesterday, held a long consultation with Chief Gritxmacher, and it seems that tho Dr. C. C. Chandler or Crandall ar rested by the Portland police Saturday afternoon is wanted on several charges, tho principal one of which is the decamp ment with about $100 belonging to a pro fessional nurse in one of the Santa Rosa hospitals, where the self-styled Dr. Cran dall was employed after the earthquake. I, is understood he will go back willingly with Sheriff Groce, who thinks Crandall is guilty of several serious crimes. The Sheriff will start back with his prisoner, probably today.

CALLED TO ACCOUNT Supreme Court Summons Ten nessee Lynchers. CHARGED WITH CONTEMPT Federal Judiciary Resents Interfer ence With Negro Prisoners Vn der Its Care Sheriff Makes Answer to Charge. WASHINGTON, May 28. The Govern ment has taken steps to punish the per sons responsible for the lynching in Chat tanooga, Tenn., on March 19 last, of the negro Ed Johnson, who under sentence of death for criminal assault had been al lowed an appeal by the United States Supreme Court from the Circuit Court' of the United States for the Eastern Dis trict of Tennessee. In the Supreme Court today Attorney-General Moody filed an information requesting that in considera tion of acts committed by the persons named it issue a rule upon each of them to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court. Twenty seven persons are named as defendants. The Attorney-General states that the Sheriff and his deputies had every reason to believe from current reports and ru mors conveyed to them that an attempt would be made to lynch Johnson, and that notwithstanding these facts the Sheriff withdrew from the jail early in the even ing of March 19 the usual guard, leaving In charge only the night jailer, Deputy Sheriff Gibson. The Information states that about 9 o'clock that night the defendants and a large number of other persons combined and conspired together to lynch and mur der Johnson, with the intent to show their contempt and disregard of the order of the court and for the purpose of prevent ing it from hearing the appeal allowed by the court, and for the purpose of prevent ing the prisoner from exercising a right secured to him by the laws and constitu tion of the United States. The facts attending the lynching are given in the information filed and the statement is made that, although Sheriff Shlpp returned to the Jail while li was In possession of a mob, neither he nor Depu ty Gibson did anything to prevent the lynching, but In fact aided those engaged In it. The court granted leave to file as re quested, making the rule returnable on the second Monday of the next term of court, October 15. CHATTANOOGA. Tenn.. May 28.

FAULT OP SUPREME COURT Sheriff Says Tennessee Would Not Tolerate Law's Delay. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 28. John F. Shlpp, of Chattanooga, Sheriff of Hamil ton County, Tenn.. against whom steps have been taken by the Federal Govern ment in connection with the lynching in that city in March, spent the day in Bir mingham. He said of the proceedings: The Supreme Court of the United States was responsible for this lynching. In my opinion the action of the Supreme Court in. not allowing the case to remain In our courts was the most unfortunate thing in the history of Tennesee. The Jury that tried the negro Johnson was as good as ever sat in a Jury box. The people of Hamilton County were willing to let the law take Its course until it became known that the case would probably not bs disposed of for four or five years by the 8upreme Court of th United States. The people would not sub mit to this and I don't wonder at it. These proceedings in the Supreme Court of ths United States recently appear to me to be only a matter of politics. I don't wish to appear in the light of defying the United States courts, but I did my duty and I am ready for any conditions that may come up.

It affects the bowels because white bread Js nearly all starch, and starch Is- digested in the intestines, not in the stomach proper. Up under the shell of the wheat berry Nature has provided a curious deposit which Is turned into diastase when it is subjected to the saliva and to the pan creatic juices in the human Intestines. This diastase is absolutely necessary to digest starch and turn it into grape sugar, which is the next form; but that part of the wheat berry makes dark flour, and the modern miller cannot readily sell dark flour, so nature's valuable digester is thrown out and the human system must handle the starch as best It can. without the help that Nature intended. Small wonder that appendicitis, peri tonitis, constipation, and all sorts of trouble exist when we go so contrary to Nature's law. The food experts that per fected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing these facts, made use in their experiments of the entire wheat and barley, including all the parts, and subjected them to moisture and long continued warmth, which allows time and the proper conditions for devel oping the diastase, outside of the human body. In this way the starchy part Is trans formed Into grape-sugar in a perfectly natural manner, without the use of chem icals or any outside Ingredients, Tho lit tle sparkling crystals of grape-sugar can be seen on the pieces of Grape-Nuts. This food therefore is naturally pre-dlgested and its use in place of bread will quickly correct the troubles that have been brought about by the too free use of starch in the food, and that is very com mon In the human race today. The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten days or two weeks and the discontinuance of ordinary white bread. Is very marked. The user will gain rapidly in strength and physical and mental health. - There's a reason.'.1 CHEAP, EFFECTIVE, PALATABLE. APENTA HUNGARIAN NATURAL APERIENT WATER.
