8 THE SAN FRANCIS 30 CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE , 1895. THEY DEFIED THE LAW. Obstinate Property-Holders Who Laughed at Court Orders. EJECTED BY THE SHERIFF. Still Watching the Premlses and Hoping to Get Another Hold on the House. Prominent lawyer wanted to defend the owners and property corner Sherman and Cleveland Streets, opposite Columbia square: proof, two re- corded affidaviis: no settlement could be made TREACY, street contractor: working me unlawfull, now with a shotgun. B. fought, and a record of the conflict, stub- bornly contested and unique in many re- ove notice, which appe: s issue of the CaLy, isan at the same time an invitation to further difficulty should any aspiring attorney appear upon the scene g to work for glory. It all came about this w The widow U sons, lives in able proper ynski, with her two grown Alameda. She owns valu- n this City and is said to h $30,000 to her credit in the German Savings Bank. One of her houses is situated at the corner of Sherman and Clevelar ets, facing Columbia square. Three Flinn & Treacy, street . did some paving in front of the premises, and in due time, after the work bad been passed upon and accented by the Street Department, they sent their collector to the owner. The bill amounted to $284. Mrs, Uszynski refused to pay, and after a time Mr. Flinn, senior member of the firm, went over to Alameda and had an interview with the widow. She prom- ised to pay when an engineer’s certificate should be furnished her, showing that the work was on the official grade. A copy of the official certificate from the Superin- tendent of Streetswas given her, but she still refused te pay, so a suit was brought and judgement rendered for the plaintiffs. Still declining to settle, the place was finally advertised at Sheriff’s sale, and after the time required by law was bid in by Flinn & Tr They de- gired to rent the place an ed a notice on the Uszynskis to quit the premises. No regard be paid to this they served an- other notice and then another, but all to the same purpose—the original owners would not budge. Then the Superior Court granted the contracting firm a writ of ejectment. Pending its enforcement the Uszynski boys called npon Flinn & Treacy and offered to pay the original paving bill if all action would be dismissed. The original bill had been more than doubled by the cost of attorneys’ fees and adver- tising, so the firm refused. Upon request of the U an affidavit of this re- fusal was furnished them. Three weeks riff's deputies turned out the ad been paying rent to Mr: the hc g left u sons took possession under nd refused to allow any hehouse. The Supreme Court was asked for another writ of eject- i t, and when it was granted the fun commenced. In anticipation of a siege the brothers 1 in a store of provisions and the s could not get at them. For sev- and nights they watched the ally on last Saturday morn- ioorin and took possession. Flinn and Treacy have rented the place, but are obliged to keep two watchmen there day and night to protect their ten- id by the Uszynskis and threat- e to come ne s to the men on guard. ve no desire to persecute these id Mr. Treacy yesterday. “They y and can easily pay. Even now we will deed them back the place if they will pay the paving bill and the ex- ense that they have put upon us, involved ynskis will say nothing at all about the trouble further than to point to the affidavits. In these documents they think they have a strong case. FREIGHT RATES CUT. The Southern Pacific Company Makes a Sweeping Reduction on Freight to Utah. A joint freight tariff to cover the South- ern Pacific Company’s Pacific system in connection with the Utah Central and Rio Grande Western railways and the Union Pacific system was issued yesterday from the freight department of the Southern Pacific in this City. It will go into effect to-morrow, June 27. The most important feature of this new schedule for freights that in nearly every class of merchandise guite a sub- stantial reduction has been made. The amended taniff cancels rates made in tariff schedules 17, 19 and 20, which have been in force for ome time p and it is intended between stations on the South- nes ana stations in Utah on the Union Pacific, Rio Grande Western and Utah Central. The principal changes are made on' car- load Iots. ousehold goods have been re- duced from 79 to 65 cents per 100 pounds, iron and steel from 54 to 70 cents, horse- shoes from $1 07 to 75 cents, nails from 8514 to 75 cents; pipe and couplings, 92}¢ to 75 cents; liquors, including wines in wood, from $1 84 to $1 10; in less than carload lots from $1 84 to $1 15, and in glass from §$2 14 to $1 10. * In carload lots marble, un- dressed or polished, is reduced from 62 to 50 cents; petroleum oils from §107 to 90 cents; manilla .paper, roofing Eap_er and puip from $79 to §65; powder and high ex- plosives from $2 14 to $1 40; tin plate from 107 to 65 cents, and twine for harvesters from 94 to 75 cents; cordage, rope, etc., from $1 24 to $115. There have also been quite a large number of reductions on freight shipped in small quantities, but the difference is not great between the old and the new tariffs. \ PASSFNGERS WERE SOARED. A Missile Thrown at a California-Street Cable-Car. Herbert Jennings, 14 years of age, caused a sensation among the passengers on a California-street car yesierday afternoon. He was stealing a ride, and at Larkin street the gripman made him get off the car. This angered Hubert and he picked up a piece of ice from the sidewalk and threw it at the gripman’s head. The gripman dodged and the missile crashed through the glass -of the door leading from the dummy, scaring the passengers and caus- ing a stampede. The car was stopped and the conductor started on a run after Hubert and soon overhauled him. He was handed over to a police officer and taken to the City Prison, where a charge of malicious mis- chief was placed against him. IMPROVING S0UTH SIDE. Another Ciub Organized in the Interests of City Prog- ress. It Wil Co-Operate With Other Asso- clations—District Clubs to Be Formed. Another club, which has for its motto “Improvement and the inauguration of a new era of progress on the south side of the City,” was permanently organized Mon- day nightat Irish-American Hall. Itistobe known as the “South Side Improvement Club,” and the scope of its operations promises to be an extensiveone. Itsmem- bers, of whom there are 100, are enthusias- tic in the movement, and they will join issues with the clubs already formed for the purpose of improving Folsom street. T. A. Rottanzi presided at the meet- ing, and as the first order of business he was chosen as permanent president. Schwartz was chosen secretary. The chai man outlined the object of the cluband urged all the members to do their best to induce their neighbors to come into the movement. It was not only the improve- ment of the streets, he said, which was to be looked after, but there were many other things, as, for instance, going into the mat- ter of regulating traffic upon improved streets so that they would not be cut up by the wheels of heavy trucks and other vehicles. 3 : Leon Samuels spoke in the same strain, saying that individual legislation would accomplish nothing, but by organization and co-operation with other clubs the resi- dents and property-owners could gain all they desired. Heretofore the southern district had been overlooked, and its inter- ests neglected. He cited the block on Fol- som street between Fourth and Fifth as an instance which is looked upon as a com- mon dumping-ground, making the street impassable. A. G. Maguire was in favor of losing no time in getting the club properly organ- ized. He suggested that the entire south side from Fremont street to Ninth and Market to Bryant streets be districted and that clubs be organized in each dis- trict. In this way four or five clubs would be formed, and they could all work in harmony for the interests of the dis- trict. He moved that such action be taken, and that a committee of seven be ap- pointed to look after the districting. It was carried and the following committee was appointed: A. G. Maguire, Leon Sam- uels, F. McEwen, I. Schwartz, R. E. Cole, J. T. Sullivan and Robert Burns. G. W. Owen, on behalf of thecommittee appointed to wait upon the Fourth of July committee, and urge that the south side be given (Ym'm representation in the parade, and also that the holiday pageant pay a visit to the southern district, re- ported that arrangements had not been completed. Everything, however, looked favorable. Mr. Maguire thought that the south side people should decorate their houses on the i“ourth and illuminate them in the even- ing. He followed these sentiments up with suggestions as to what the club should do toward carrying out their improvement ideas. J. T. Sullivan was elected first vice- president, and Leon Samuels was added to the committee on street improvement. On motion of Mr. Sullivan a committee pwas pointed to canvas certain streets and solicite residents to become members. Following were those appointed: I. Schwartz, Third street; J. ;I)' Sullivan, Fourth street; H. Erbe, Sixth street; T. A, Rottanzi, Howard street; L. Samuels, Folsom street. The club adjourned to meet on the first Monday night after the Fourth of July. A Desperado’s Ruse. John Coughlin, alias McCarthy, alias Cardy, created consternation in the City Prison about 3 o'clock yesterday morning by yelling, “Help! Murder! F: A rush was made to his cell | and he was seen waving his arms and yelling { loudly. Sergeant Shields admonished ?lim 1o | keep quiet, but he stared wildly at him and | continued’to yell. He was taken to the Re- | cetying Tosptial and locked up in & padded cell.

Auditor Broderick to Follow the Decision of the San Diego Superior Court. A. F. Mogan, the newly appointed Game Warden for the City and County of San Francisco, has discovered that he has troubles of his own. Atfirst he was envied, since it seemed as if his greatest labor would be finding game to protect. This was a mistake. His greatest difficulty will lie in getting his salary. Auditor Broderick says he will refuse to order his warrants paid. This results from the fact that the Superior Court-of San Diego County has decided the portion of the fish and game law providing for the appointment of Game Wardens to be un- constitutional. Mr. Broderick said: 1left two items out of my estimate for the tax levy. Iexplainea to the Supervisors yes- terday that I left one out purposely. That was the the provision for the salary of the Game Warden. The expenses for the ireehold- ers 1 overlooked and advised that it be in- serted. My stand on the matter of the Game Warden's sal; simple. The new law says the money is to be paid from the County Treasury. The Consolidation Act provides that the particular fund from which any money is to be taken must be designated. As no fund was specified, Idid not provide for Mr. Mogan’s money. If he gets it, 1t »7ll have to be by an order on_the urgent necessity fund, which amounts to abont #3000 a month. The decision in San Diego will fortify me in not paying the Game Warden's warrants. I could not well do so now till after the courts had decided in Mr. Mogan’s favor. Hon. Frank H. Powers, the Assembly- man from the Forty-first District of this City, strennously opposed certain portions of the ncw game law when it was under consideration. He argued on the lines of the decision of the San Diego Superior Court. He said yesterday 1 protested from the first that the law was unconstitutional and urged that it be altered. There are other grounds besides the fact that tne law leaves the appointing of the Game Warden within the discretion of the Super- visors, Section 24 of article IV of the constitution provides that every subject in an act shall be xpressed in its title, and if any subject be omitted that the law shall be yoid in regard to the neglected subject. Now, the title of this new law says nothing about killing fish and game, nor about Game Wardens. Another fatal defect lies in that the new law violutes a subdivision of the constitution which provides that the Legisiature snall not pass special laws for the punishment of crimes and misdemennors. This appears in the portion which makes it 2 misdemeanor to shoot game on any private property except salt marsh land. ‘The man caught shooting on private property not salt mersh land is discriminated against. "The law in this respect grants the ow! other than salt marsh land a special pr since it allows them to protect themsely trespassers, while the owners of salt marsh lands are left without recourse. It also vio- lates section 1 of article I of the constitution, since it takes away the right of the owner of salt marsh land to protect it from the incur- sions of strangers. District Attorney Creswell was much in- terested in the decision of the San Diego court. He thought the question in line with the matter of the election law which he has been investigating. Speaking of it yesterday he said: 1 have not given the matter of the Game Warden any investigation as yet. As soon ss an attempt is made to force Auditor Broderick to pay the salary I will defend the case to the best of my ability, though. nce the decision of the Superior Judges of Diego was reached, sitting in bank, it pos- extra weight. ses I will send for the briefs in that case and the text of the decision ren- dered. This will assist me materially in handling Mr#Mogan’s claim. A QUESTION OF CRUELTY The Accusation Made by Mabel Simmonds Against Her Parent. Her Employer Asks Judge Troutt to Appoint Him Her Guardian. “The order of the court,” said Judge Troutt Monday morning, *is that this girl remain in the custody of Mr. Bird until Wednesday morning, July 3, and that he produce her in court on that day.” That was the order made in the Superior Court, Department 8, in habeas corpus proceedings instituted by J. W. Bird of 3238 Mission street on behalf of Mabel, the 15-year-old daughter of F. Simmonds, a machinist, who lives in the Mission district. The facts as developed by an investigation made by the police, the officers of the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children and by the testimony taken in court yesterday de- velop a singular state of affairs, About three months ago Mr. Bird, who has been doing business where he is now located for the past eleven years, and is a married man, living with his family in the immediate vicinity of his place of business, went to an employment office in search of a young girl to assist in general work in his home. The girl Mabel offered herself and Mrs. Bird took quite a liking to her. 1t was not long before the girl was treated not as a servant but as one of the family, and Mrs. Bird’s children became espe- cially fond of her. The girl was rather poorly clad, so the family advanced her money from time to time, and now she has received money for work not yet performed. Occasionally the kirl went to her home, and it was noticed that when she returned to her employer her eyes were swollen and once that ger face was swollen. The girl made no com- plaint, but, being pressed for an explana- tion of these outward signs, reluctantly admitted that she had been punished. Last Tuesday Mabel left her employer’s house, but did not return, and on the fol- lowing morning the police and General McComb, secretary of the Humane Society, were notified of the mysterious disappear- ance of the girl. Since the Lamont and Williams cases the officers of the society have made a close examination of every case of ‘“‘mysterious disappearance” re- ported. It was done in this case. ' Then the disco\'eri was made that Simmonds ::n:vh where his daughter was but refused 0 tell. 2 After that the girl Mabel presented her- self at the police station and asked for {;rotection from her father, she claiming hat he had treated her cruelly. She was referred to General McComb.” who, after listening to her story, gave her some good advice. This, however, did not please her, for she declared that if she was forced to submit to the treatment she had received in the past she would commit suicide. The secretary spoke to her about the wrong of such thoughts, and in answer to the direct cfi;mufion, “How long must I remain under t! told that she was under the control of her parents until she attained her majority. During the investigation the secretary had an interview with the father, who stated that he was severe with his children, for he had several, including a girl of 18 and one of 11, but denied that he was cruel to them.” He was asked if holdingl a girl’s head between his knees, holding her e control of my father?” she was| hands with one hand, striking her on the bare flesh with a leather strap until the blood flowed, was not cruel. Simmonds did not vouchsafe a reply, but he was informed by the secretary that in his opinion that was deyilish cruelty. He was also asked if he did not consider it cruel for a father to go into a bathroom where his 13-year-old girl was entirely un- dressed and there beat her with a strap. The reply he made led to the following remark by the secretary: ““Well, it’sa mat- ter of opinion. You ‘say ‘it’s severe’; [ say it's cruel, extremely cruel.”’ In the meantime Mr. Bird was seeking legal advice, and having learned that the girl Mabel had been inveigled away from his home by an elder person, he made up his mind .to apply for letters of guardian- ship over the girl, and in order to gain ossession of her applied for a writ of Kabeas corpus directed against the father. The petition was made before Judge Troutt, who also granted the writ, making the latter returnable at 10 o’clock Monday morning. ‘While in court Mabel signed a declaration that she elected that J. W. Bird be ap- pointed her guardian, Mr. Bird was examined as to his respon- sibilty, his ability and willingness to take care of Mabel in case she was placed in his care. Alihisanswers were satisfactory. The Judge said that from what he had already heard he was convinced that the girl would be safe in Mr. Bird’s home, and made the order that she be placed in his care. The hearing of the petition for letters of guardianship_ will take place at 10 o’clock on Tuesday, July 2, the day before the ha- beas corpus proceedings are taken up again. —_— NEW CONSUMPTION CURE, The Secret Came to Him, Says Luke Gargurovich, in Dreams. Fresh Air and a Way of Pulllng the Tongue the Keynotes of the Cure. There is a picturesque old man down on the water front who has discovered a new remedy forconsumption. It came to him | in dreams. At night his dead wife came in spirit to his lonely bed. “Do thus and so, Luke,” she said, “and your life will be spared.”” His name is Luke Gargurovich, and for many yvears he lived with his wife and Luke Gargurovich, the Old Fisherman ‘Who Thinks He Has Conquered Nature and Killed Disease. eight children in a Ionely fisherman’s cabin on Sheep Island. He is a Dalmatian by birth, and thirty years ago came to this coast from the Isle of Sastovo, in the Adri- atic Sea. He nas great faith in his remedy, and feared greatly to promulgate the knowl- edge of it to the CALL man, lest his finan- cial interests in the matter should suffer. In essence, the cure itself is not new to many others besides Luke Gargurovich and his friends on Fisherman’s wharf and thereabouts. Fresh air is the keynote, but the same is not administered in the orthodox fashion. Sleeping with the window wide open is not enough—though that is es- sential. There must be a skilled attend- ant to pull the tongue at the right mo- ment. Then there is a peculiar way in which the head of the patient must rest av night. Only Luke Gargurovich knows the exact pose. And the patient must breathe through the mouth all night—must sleep with the mouth wide open, whether or not his wife or the neighbors may object to snoring. Luke Gargurovich himself is a living ex- ample of what fresh air will do for a man. He remains out of doors all the time, and cannot breathe in a close room. “I would die in twenty minutes were I to remain in a foul room that long,” he says. And yet the ordinary observer would not suspect him of being a consumptive. He is big, brawny and apparently very strong. He is the sage of the water front on the con- sumption question, and many of the Slavo- nian fishermen constantly credit him with having saved their lives. But until yesterday his method re- mained a dense secret to all but himself. He would tell it to no one. He was wait- ing for a chance to cure a rich man who should share his fortune with him out of gratitude. And doubtless he could cure even a rich man who had faith in the method and would trust to fresh air alone for a cure. The old man is not a spiritual- ist, and aside from the dreams that re- vealed to him this wonderful cure—it seems very, very wonderful to him and the Slavonian colony on the water front —does not even have faith in the gen- eral efficacy of dreams. He asks no fees from his patients, de- voutly believing that the future holds some great fortune in reserve for him be- cause of his discovery. He has a home in the rear of 1312 Kearny street, but is more often found on the street. And if you do find him at home he is always on_the out- side of it. Years ago he devised several inieniuu ways of seining, and to-day the fishermen in these partsare all indebted to him for their larger and speedier catches. He is unlettered, but can read a little Eng- lish and speaks it fairly well. He is a very picturesque old man, and quite an in- stitution among the Latin and Slavonian fishermen. BARBERS' CLOSING ACT. Warrant Out for the Arrest of Leo Wentzsch for Violating Its Provisions. H. A. Wolf, representing the Barbers’ Protective Union, swore out a warrant in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday after- noon for the arrest of Leo Jentzsch, bar- ber, 336 Sixth street, on the charge of vio- lating the act passed by the last Legisla- ture, in keeping his shop open from 12 noon till 1 ». m. on Sunday, June 16. This is the second case since the act came into force. In the first case the barber pleaded that he did not know that the act was in existence, and Jude Low let him off with a small fine. No. such plea can be made in the present case. _The union is determined that the g&o- visions of the act shall be obeyed, and Mr. Wolf is specially employed to see that all uho{)s are closed at 12 noon on Sundays. Since the passing of the act the Chinese and Japanese barbers have been doing a lnrgely increased business with white men, and the union will in all probability take steps to put a stop to it. Chinese and Japanese barbers are as amenabie to the law of the land as any other nationality, and they should be compelled to respect it.

Tolls and Collectors to Be Abol- ished in the Dim Future. The era of reform has only dawned on the City front. At the meeting of the Harbor Commissioners yesterday after- noon no further action was taken regard- ing the raising of berth rates, but the following mild protest was handed in by President Colnon and read by the secre- tary: ' SAN FRANCISCO, June 25, 1895. The following is the approximately allotted space on wha Pacific Coast Steamship Company, Broad- way 1and 2, 124,010 square feet. John Rosenfeld’s Sons, Mission 2, 23,000. R. Dunsmuir & Sous, Folsom 2, 53,000. 2orzgon Improvement Company, Beale street, Oregon Coal and Navigation Company, Val- IE{? street, 16,000. Under old rates, John Rosenfeld’s Sons and Dunsmuir & Sons paid $225 per month, equal to .978c per square foot. At this ratio, the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, which now (under old rates) pays $187 50 per month for two wharves, should pay $1212 82 per month, Oregon Improvement Company, coal-dealers, in the same hine of business as R. Dunsmuir & Sons and Jobn_Rosenfeld’s Sons, who under old rates pay $150.should pay $254 28; or if Oregon Improvement Company does not pay this on old rates, then R. Dunsmuir & Sons and John Rosenfeld’s Sons should pay same proportion as Oregon Improvement Company, -576¢ persquare foot,which would make the oid rental of R. Dunsmuir & Sons and John Rosen- feld’s Sons $132 48 per month instead of $22: er month, so that, instead of being reised . Dunsmuir & Sons and John Rosenfeld’s Sons are first entitled to a reduction to $132 48; then, if more revenue must be raised, the honorable Board of Harbor Com- missioners should raise all proportionately. The respective space of each party as above set forth is npt accurate, but sufficiently cor- rect for the ‘purpose of showing that other companies are not paving anything like as much as John Rosenfeld’s Sons and Dunsmuir & Sons. Such is the case even with some in the same line of business, which gives them great advantage over R. Dunsmuir & Sons and John Rosenield’s Sons. The honorable Board of Harbor Commis- sioners express themselves as intending to equalize rates, and. which would be very fair, therefore we think our representation as above shouid be considered. The communication was ordered placed on file without consideration. “We could not regulate rents according to s]vucc," said Mr.. Colnon, “because it would be unfair in many ways. We could not charge the Berkeley ferry and other outside steamers in the same proportion that the Southern Pacific is ta ex&, for they would be forced out of business. State Engineer Holmes submittea two plans for the reconstruction of Pacific- street wharf. In one case it was proposed to have iron-cyclinder piers, and the other lan to use patented piles. The difference etween the two methods was about $18,- 000 in favor of the piles. Commissioner Chadbourne nominated Henry Parsons to succeed Wharfinger T. ‘W. Dennis, and Mr. Colnon named Morris Milliken successor to John Tyson at the ferry, and Colnon also named Gordon A. Murphy to succeed P. Callsen as Collector, while Collector J. M. Nash was given a new lease of life by Commissioner Cole. After the meeting President Colnon stated : We propose to do away with three wharfin- gers and three collectors. This of course can- not be done at once, for the reason that the terms of the men now in office expire at vari- ous tfmes. The matter, I think will be dis- cussed at the next meeting. Before I go out of office, I intend to abolish all collectors. The Commissioners have been talking the matter of harbor income over and we think that it is too great. When we say that we are going to e(xulllze Tents we mean what we say. It will take time to do it, but it will be done. Rents are too high now in some places—in many places—and as S00N &S We CAN get NeCessary re- Pflu made, we will commence the work of re- orm by reducing rents to amounts consistent with our needed income. Then we will com- mence the work of abolishing the tolls. With 10 tolls to collect we have no use for collectors. There are fifteen of the latter now in the State’s employ and their retirement would meana saving of $1500 & month. There are twenty-one wharfingers, but in & short time this number will be lessened by three. Their offices will be declared vacant and no successors ?polnted. Another reform of which Mr. Chadbourne and I have been talking is the stopping of brokers making 5 Eflr cent a month out of the employes’ salary. our weeks ago two men came_into the office, each with an order for a wharfinger's salaries. We determined then and there to puta stop to the practice, but we have been so busy e that we have had no time. The matter will be probably brought up at the next meeting. Scissors and Paste. The name of the organ of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association of California is Seissors and Paste, and the title of the journal is indicated by & cut of & pair of scissors, a short “and” and the picture of & paste pot. According to announcement in volume 1, No 1,the paper is edited by all the loyaland atriotic editors in the State of California. Re- erring to the reading matter of its pages one finds selections from leading datltes of Califor- nin and the credit for each article copied is ac- corded in miniature reproduction of the title of the paper from which the extract is taken, The purpose of Scissors and Paste is to con- vince California readers that the industrial de- velopment of the State will be promoted by the extension of liberal patronage to home in- dustries. THE WOMEN REFORMERS, Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw Will Take a Long Sum-~ mer Rest. The Last-Named Lady WIill Take Part in the California Cam- paign Next Fall. Miss Susan B, Anthony and Rev. Anna Shaw will be in San Francisco until July 6, at which time they will leave for their respective homes in the Bast. Miss An- thony said yestesday: We, that is Miss Shaw and I, were away on our southern trip exactly fourteen days. Dur- ing that time I delivered sixteen addresses, through Miss Shaw went me two better. From first to last five receptions were tendered us, and I say candidly that I never met & more hospitable geople in my life than those in Southern California. In the fourteen days we traveled 1500 miles, though it was such a de- lightful trip that I feel none of the fatigue in- cident to such a journey. We will leave for the East July 6, Miss Shaw &olngdh’ecl to Cape Cod and I to my home in ochester. My sister writes that the house has been fixed up from top to bottom, and I am anticipating a delightful and much-needed rest. I would like to steal iu home at the mid- night hour, without the knowledge of a livin, sotl, for then I could have a week of two of perfect rest. _As it is the reporters will be after me for a whole week or ten days to tell them something about California, and it will be nearly August before I get my restatall. I intend taking it quietly this summer, so as to be prepared for the cam iTfl next fall and winter. Of course my work will be in the same old line, though just what places I will visit I cannot now say. 1t i8 highly probable that Miss Shaw will also rest, though she may deliver a few lectures near home. Miss Shaw has been invited to California next fall to make a tour of the State in the interest of the suffrage movement. She will probably accept the invitation, though it 18 too early yet for ber to outline any definite Plan of action. ‘What do I think of the unflraie movement in California? Well, it has been indorsed by the Ragubucnn and People’s parties, and if it is embodied in the next platform I am confident it will be carried. What we want, however, is for all the parties to indorse the movement, Then it cannot be said that it is a party meas. ure. If thisisdone it cannot be said thata promise to support any party was given. NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. OUR GREAT SACRIFICE CLEARANCE SALE CONTINUES WITH EMPHATIC REDUCTION®!

ORCHARDISTS' FRIENDS. Quarantine Officer Craw Has Been Distributing Lady- birds. Remarkable Work Done by These Insects In the Pest-Infested Orchards. Alexander Craw, the quarantine officer of the State Board of Horticulture, has just returned from the southern part of | the State,where he has be enfor the past five | weeks distributing black lady-birds. These | beneficial insects are the deadly foe of the | black scale that is doing so much damage in the orchards in the coast counties es- | pecially. The scale is of the lecanium family, and | came from Europe ininfected plants. The black ladybirds were imported from Aus- tralia two years ago by Elwood Cooper, | whose orchard was nearly ruined by the black scale. The two dozen ladybirds | increased at a marvelous rate, and soon | cleared Mr. Cooper’s trees of the pest. A | colony of them was sent to E. W. Harold, | whose orcharas are near Saticoy, Ventura County. It was from Mr. Harold’s vlace that Mr. Craw Dhas just distributed nearly 800 colonies of insects, averaging fifty to a colony, to as many orchardists in the State, The reports received show that the lady- birds arrived in good condition and at once attacked the black scale pests. Each colony was accompanied by instructions as to\t(he CCBK'E of ::te girdhs. : Mr. Craw stated that the pest had tained a good hold in the oraggse orcha:db; of Los Angeles, 8an Bernardino, Orange and Riyerside counties. County Commis- sioner Scott in Los Angeles sent the insects to all the infected places and then dis- tributed colonies in the native trees in the foothills. Now the trees, fruitand native, are practically free from the pests. : The black scale is not as destructive as the red or scarlet scale. The latter is not molested by the black ladybirds, and an- other variety has been imported for its de- struction. As an example of the benefit of these and similar insects Mr. Craw stated that Mr. Cooper spent from $3000 to $5000 a year spraying and fumigating his fruit o fs nowsing) nd tepasaiing the Iady- an i non 'S"‘Imfi“’" before.' @ trees are healthier n San Bernardino County t! dollars were spent annuallyyb;'“:l‘:;asnl?;eef visors to rid the orchards of scale pests b, spraying and fumi, ating, and since the inj: troduction of ladybirds the cost of protec- th')n and preservation has been very small, l‘lhe Lxperience with the cottony cushion scale in Los Angeles County a few years fi:nwa& tciéga?xt‘ra\lxs. Séncs ladybirds have e orchards the trees h. been kept free from that di ive e, Mr. Craw states that the ro s 't ed scale has caused much damage in the orchards in many parts of the State, and it }lme to learn what insect is ?t’:z(o: o ast the steel blue ladybird was discovered and a small colony was sent to L. N. Ker- cheval’s orchards in Los Angeles County. The newcomers did not multiply rapidiy until recently. Now they are taking hold of the red scale and threaten to extermin- ate it before long. The steel blue lady- bird will soon be distributed all over the State. Mr. Craw has received two new varieties of ladybirds from Professor Koebele, who is now traveling in Japan for the Hawaiian Government. They are aestructive to sev~ eral scale pests on this coast. DIVORCE GRANTED. The Nephew of the Late Governor Stane ford Loses His Wife and Child. The nephew of Governor Stanford, Jerome B. Stanford, has appeared in the divorce court, his wife Florence Stanford being the complaining witness and the charge made desertion. The desertion charged by Mrs. Stanford | has lastea since November 1, 1834, when he left her, announcing at the time that he would have nothing more to do with her. She has a child, Clark Stanford, whose custody she asked for, and which was granted to her. She also asked for $35000 and $125 a month alimony, $75 of which amount she says she will donate to the care and education of her child. This $5000 and the monthly alimony she asked to be made a charge on a legacy of $100,000 left by Governor Stanford to his nephew. These various prayers of the complaint were allowed, and the divorce was granted on the ground of desertion. Stanford was ;:_1 court at the trial and offered no objec- ion. ———— Instead of an engagement ring the Jap- anese lover gives his sweetheart a piece of beautiful silk for her sash. ¢ «When fatigued and suffering from a severe cold, hot grog, with the delicious ¢Vin Mariani,” ene abled me to sing Carmen. ; Gratefully, 99 Emma Calvé THE IDEAL TONIC Sustains Vitality and Restores Strength Quickly.
