Therefore he considered it a sacred cause. Mr. Smith, who is one of the secretaries cf the Independent Labor party i Great | Britain, spoke also of the labor struggle. The ]present cagitnlistic system he called a | cruel, “bloodthirsty juggernaut,” and the man that did not join_ the trades-union movement he deemed a ‘‘traitor to ‘Immanity."

McBride and Mr. Snook sang solos and Mrs. Mahan Taylor gave a recitation, after which Captain Charles Goodall in be- half of the whole church made an address of welcome. A. A.

TALKS ON HORTICULTURE Subjects Discussed at Yester- day’s Meeting of the Society. Mr. Craw’s Paper About Ladybirds. President Lelong Deals With Olives. | Several interesting papers were read at yesterday afternoon’s meeting of the State | Horticultural Society in the Mills building. | Among them were one by State Entomol- ogist Alexander Craw on ‘‘Ladybirds,” and one by President Lelong on “The Use of Olives in Small Lots.” Editor H. A. | Brainard of Banta Clara County recom- | mended printers’ ink as a remedy for the canker worm, and Professor C. W. Wood- worth of the State University spoke on the relation of water to plant diseases. *‘Great care,” said Professor Woodworth, “should be taken in the use of water, as too much water for the tree helps the fungi, and either too much or too little may favor the animal parasites.” Alexander Craw, in his paper, said he had received applications for ladybirds from lands as far away as the Cape of | Good Hope, Ceylon, Italy and Samoa. He had on exhibition several varieties in dif- ferent staces of existence. Alluding to the destruction of the cot- tony cushion scale, Professor Craw said: The introduction of a few of the Vedalia car- dinalis and Novius Koebelei has done the work so effectively that I have difficulty at | times in keeping my colonies of Vedalia and Novius supplied with food. I consider the No- vius Koebeiei the better of the two. We re- ceived only two or three of these alive after their long journey from Australia three years ago, but they increased so rapidly that we soon had them by the thousands, and since that time we have sent out more colonies of this than Any other species. It searches out the in- aividual scales in the orchard better and so does better work. The young are covered with cotton and look like the scale. The next most important ladybird, he thought, was the hizobius ventralis, which preys on black scale and other lecaniums.” Ellwood Cooper, president of the State Board of Horticulture, received ten pairs alive from Australia in May, 1892. Since that time his extensive orchards have been cleaned of black scale ‘and hundreds of thousands of Rhizobius have been sent to other districts. The other varieties Professor Craw re- ferred to in detail, concluding with the Chryptolemus Montrousieri, a native of Australia, introduced into the Sandwich Islands by Mr. Koebele. Colonies of Chryptolmi had been received from Joseph Marsden, Commissioner of Agri- culture at Honolulu.

THE STATE BOARD IGNORED. Commilssioner Stanton Says Clark as Entitled to Credlit In the Graln Cut. The fight is already on between the Southern Pacific Railway Company and the State Board of Railroad Commission- ers. In fact negotiations—the former quite friendly interchange of courtesies, or what had come to be a custom through forcé of habit—have ceased to exist. The railway company used to send every day to the Commissioners’ office a copy of amend- ments to some of its multitudinous tariffs. To be sure these changes were, as a rule, of little importance to the people of the State at large, though affecting a few ship- vers in certain districts. Occasionally a comprehensive amendment would come into the Commissioners’ office to be filed for reference. But nowadays neither large nor small amendments of freight tariffs are sent out by the Southern Pacific to the Railroad Commission. The theory of this sudden change of front has been supposed by the Commis- sioners to be an attempt to ignore the State Railroad Commission asa legal body—a point in law which has not been explained by the Southern Pacific men. Two days after the board voted in favor of “horizontal”” reductions its messenger was sent to the freight office of the South- ern Pacific Company for certain blanks, which the company had previously sup- plied quite liberally. He was well known to .the railway officials, but when he made a request for the blanks they knew him no more. “You can’t have any blanks or other papers, or anything else from this office,” was the reply. “And the reason?” he asked in surprise. It is nothing personal to the members of the Railroad Commission. Our attor- neys have instructed us to give you no papers—no amendments to our tariffs.”” o far as the railway was concerned it pretendcd to believe that such a thing as the State Railroad Commission did not exist. The Southern Pacific attorneys would not make explanations, and so the Commissioners have begun to wonder wuether their new tariffs will receive sim- ilar treatment, in which case there will be a fight in the courts. At this alternative Mr. Herrin, the chief of the Southern Pa- citic law department, has hinted very strongly. The next meeting of the commission will be held on Thursday. On that day further contemplated reductions will be taken under advisement and a plan of action for continuing the work in hand adopted. Commissioner Stanton was busy yesterday in a mass of papers, tariffs and figures working toward this end. His of- fice was almost deserted, for he has prac- tically given up his practice to deal with freight problems. “We are preparing amendments to the grain_tariff,” said he, speaking in the plural, which fact indicatea that he was not alone in the work. *‘Our plan for present work is to adjust all discrimina- tions and regulate the rates, so that they shall be equitable throughout California. -This is what I wanted at first, but dropped it for harmony and took up the 8 per cent cut. I think it will be completed in eight or ten days, and then be published in the form of amendments to the grain tariff.”” “Where do you expect to find the worst cases of discrimination ?”’ “We have several complaints on file which claim that various sections have been discriminated against. The Salinas, Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys will all come under our consideration in this direction, and then we must set a special day for hearing the complaints. One seri- ous trouble we have met is that most peo- g]le have seemed afraid to make complaints, et it 1s apparent that there have been numerous causes for complaining. Now, for instance, a farmer wants a rate on some of his products. The railway company will ask him what it _sells for and then fix an arbitrary rate—all the traffic will bear and permit it to moyve. This is simply claiming a partnership with the farmer. It would be all right if the farmer were allowed to claim a partnership with the company, for then it would not hurt, no matter how high the tariff might be. “It is not possible to make changes in rates at open meetings. That requires a great deal of calculation and quiet work where we are not disturbed. So instead of holding meetings day after day, we will work quietly in our offices and then come together to adopt our findings. We don’t expect to be finished before next January. There are over 1000 stations to be consid- ered in connection with the exceedingly full western classification, which makes our task a much more comprehensive and laborious one than most people imagine.” ‘‘How about the refusal of the railroad to give further data or papers to tne board "’ “It may be a legal point which we must investigate. = *‘By the way, I see that Mr. Clark does not come in for any creditin connection with this tariff on grain which we have issued. That is an injustice to him, for Mr. Clark is as fully entitled to credit_in connection with this 8-per-cent reduction as Mr. La Rue or myself. Only he was shut out on a ruling of the chair, which I believe was an injustice to him, while it might be technically correct. He asked for time to consider the question, and next morning offered to stand by it, but was not given a chance to do as he wished.” WHY MORENO WENT FREE. Judge Belcher’s Sharp Criticism on Police Court Methods. Judge Belcher instructed a jury in his court te acquit Manuel Moreno, charged with assault with a deadly weapon, yester- day, and in doing so, sharply criticized the methods of the Prosecuting Attorney in the Police Court where :the preliminary examination took place. Moreno was arrested on July 22, for stab- bing Andrew Little, a sailor, in a water- front saloon, and his preliminary examina- tion resulted in his being held 'to answer before the Superior Court. Beforethe case could be tried in the higher tribunal, Little sailed for Mexico, and the Assistant District Attorney wascompelled to depend on the record of the lower court for his testimony. 7 After considerable time, had been con- sumed in getting a jury yesterday, Assist- ant District Attorney Hinkle began to look over the transcript, and he incidentally made a few astounding discoveries. He found that the prosecuting witness had not at any time identified the defend- ant as his assailant, and had not even been asked to do s0. Under the circumstances he wascompelled to notify the court that the record was fatally defective and thata conviction was not legally possible. Judge Belcher therefore instructed the jury to acquit in the following words: Gentlemen, owing to the gross failure of Prosecuting Attorney Mogan to perform his duty the case for the State has failed at its inception. It is therefore the duty of the court to instruct you to return a verdict of not guilty, and it is proper for the court to state the reason for the instruction. There will always be trouble of this kind until the lice courts are reformed. In every county n the State the police courts are directly re- sponsible to the District Attornev’s office. Such should be the case here. Culpable neglect of duty in the lower court has resulted in a flagrant failure of justice, but there is, in the circumstanees, but ‘one mi for the jury to do. You will, fhen{ou, acquit. The jury did as instructed and Moreno went free, 2 NEW _TO-DAY—DRY TURBAY GOODS. IPECIALS. LITTLE NECESSARIES, THINGS YOU NEED FOR SUNDAY'S WEAR, LACES. VEILINGS. RIBBONS.

Quotations From Edmund Burke Claimed as a Precedent for the Language Used. Attorney Horace W. Philbrook seeks a rehearing of the cause that resulted in his disbarment by the Supreme Court. He has filed what is designated asa *‘motion for a hearing of the cause’’ in the case entitled Ira P. Rankin, special administrator of the estate of John Levinson, deceased, plain- tiff, appellant, vs. William J. Newman and Benjamin Newman, defendants, respoud- ents. The papers have been served and the 7th of October set for the hearing of the motion. This action brings Attorney Philbrook again into court, despite the disbarment verdict against him. He asks that his motion be heard by the court in bank and that the Commissioners be also present. The motion was filed iesterday. It is addressed to *‘Reinstein & Eisner and E. R. Taylor, their attorneys.”” It declares that “I shall apply to the Supreme Court for leave to argue this cause and for a hear- ing thereof, and that a certain judgment be vacated which was made on the 5th day of January, 1895, in a certain proceed- ing entitled, ‘In the matter of Horace W. Philbrook, an attorney at law.’ ” 2 In the latter clause of the petition is the pith of the new proceeding, which in re- ality asks that the judgment of disbar- ment against the petitioner be set aside. As to reasons the document says: The grounds upon which said application will be made, tbelz';pells with which, in this extraordinary case, I shall knock at the breasts of the consciences of the court and de- mand justice against the wrong and outrage and wickedness which are aprominent and im- portant part of the case, are the follow/ng: The right of the appellant to argue this canse and for a hearing is a fundamental human right; to deny such right is a vioiation of natural justice, of the principles of the com- mon law and of the constitution and laws of this State and & denial of the equal protection of the laws. Mr. Philbrook makes no npo!ogy for what the Supreme Court termed his in- temperate language against Justice Harri- son. On the contrary, he rather reiterates all that he said before in the brief which led to his_disbarment and he quotes equally as vigorous lnngungg from a noted speech of Edmund Burke in the trial of arren Hastings before the House of Lords as a precedent which established his right to speak as he did then. 'oncerning the contention of the Su- preme Court as announced in the disbar- ment verdict against him Attorney Phil- brook says that “it is utterly untroe— destitute of a shadow of truth—that the brief contained any such language as that claimed by the Justices. But what if it had?' Further on the petition states: The above disposes of the entire judgment of disbarment, except six accusations, for which the wrong-d -twrneiw-s never given notice or opportuuity of nrlng. but which were stated against him for the first time in the judgment of disbarment. By such a judgment, destitute of even a shadow of justice, violative of the fundamental principles “of flfih‘. iven and held without answering a single point or reason of the macag oints and reasons urged by the attorney in is defense, the appellantin_ this case d a helpless aged widow and her defensele: have been deprived of connsel, denied a hear- ing, a proclamation made in advance by the Justices that the case shall be decided against them and for their adversaries, an attorney deprived of his means of livelihood and over- whelmed with calumny for fidelity to his duty. In conclusion, Mr. Philbrook declares that “‘this suit is carried on solely to obtain il‘z:t_nce for the surviving family of ‘John vinson * * ¥ from the misfortunes which they have innocently suifered through the fraud, treachery and the crgeltv"o! therespordents and theiraccom- Rplices. W. 8. HOBART'S ILLNESS. The Young Capitalist Recovering From His Serious Injury at His Racetrack. ‘Walter 8. Hobart is lyirg ill at his home on Van Ness avenue and Washington street with Dr. Ellinwood and Dr. Mac- Monagle in close attendance. The at- tendant physicians say that absolute quiet is necessary for his speedy recovery, hence most visitors, even among the young man’s close friends, are refused admission to his bedside. Last evening he was consider- ably better and it was predicted that he :ou]d regain his normal strength in a few ays. Mr. Hobart's illness is the result of an accident on his grivate racetrack near San Mateo on Saturday. He was thrown from his horse while racing with Harry Stete son and others. He lel?wi!h terrible force, striking his head upon the hard track an was unconscious for several hours after~ ward. He was brought to the City on Sun~ day and his case was thought to be so se- rious that a consultation onhyslcians was held on Wednesday. While they agreed that he had a narrow escape from death by concussion of the brain, it was thought the effects of the nervous shock and contusion of the scalp would soon pass away if proper precautions were observed.
