THE SAN FRANCISCO -CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1896. AR AMONG THE - ERUT-GROWERS 'Russ D. Stephens Attacks “. ‘the State Shippers’ Association. Says. It Is Working to Crush Out the Independent Producer. Exciting Controversy Marks the Clos- " ing Hours of the Sacramentc Convention. -SACRAMENTO, Car, Dec. 4.—The fourth and last day’s session of the twen- tieth Fruit-growers' Convention opened this morning with a few remarks from President Ellwood Cooper, replying to the resolution adopted a day or tWo ago in- dorsing him for a McKinley Cabinet posi- tion as Secretary of Agriculture. He said he would be glad to have the position dur- ing one administration, and believed he had the physical power and mental ability to do the work faithfully and well. ¢4 first-class warship costs about $2,500,- 000. One-hundredth part of that sum properly spent wouid find & remedy for fruit pests which destroy annually $300,- )00,000 worth of fruit,” he said, “and then } many more warships could be built.”” The report of the committee on co- operation was taken up. This was fol- dlowed by the sensation of the day, and, in” facf, of the entire session. R. D. Stephens charged that the “Fruit-growers’ and -Shippers’ Association have so manipu- lated things as to crush out independent shippers and glut New York and Boston markets.” : Mr, Block said it was the first time in fifty ‘years of business life that he had been. charged with being bribed. He is one of the association’s directors. Mr. Stephens said he made no such charge, and that possibly Mr. Block had béen imposed upon. Mr. Block, in continuing his remarks, said-he did not believe Chairman Wein- stock was guilty oi any such manipuis- tion, and he did not believe that the or- ganization could be used for any such purpose. He said he did not believe there had been anything wrong, but it was pos- le that some mistakes might have been de. e-President D. T. Fowler stood by Bhippers’ and Growers’ Association. said he thought Mr. Stephens’ re- ks proved the weakness of his own ma; positipn. He said the assopiation had be en dealing with agencies over which it d o control. On the contrary, it had irying to cultivate the New York and “Boston markets. The association was formed of members within the Fruit- growers” Association, and he felt they were'. high-minded, honorable men, and d wot manipulated things to crush out the independent shipper. “ He was vot in sympathy with a wholesale charge made the floor and not substantiated. There ere” difficulties beyond control, and sé were on the other side of the conti- Spl Runyon of Sacramento supported . Stephens. He said he believed that things Stephens said he could prove facts. Mr. Stephens had put 1t lona ugh, but not strong enough. Mr. on said he was an independent ship- ) He did not mean to make any per- sonaj charge against Mr. Weinstock. He did not think that Mr. Stephens deserved the brunt of criticism and he aid not think there was & set of men in the State who could-remain in session four days and do as little for themselves as the fruit-grow- ers. . [Applause and laughter.] J. Anstatt of Yuba City said that if the fruit-growers would turn the business over to their wives they might do beuter, [Ldugbter.] g 2 Mr. Stephens said he did not want it to go_torth that he had attackea¥Colonel Weinstock’s honor. He regarded Colonel Weinstock as a gentleman and a friend. He-(Stephens) had been charged by Mr. Fowler with mudayiug the stream when he was not guilty. He did not mean to artack the honor of any member of the association. He reiterated that the New York and Boston ‘markets were glutted for the purpose of destroying the inde- pendent shipper. cars-ef fruit held back at Chicago, through the medinm of a certain intermediary, which he knew to be the case, to the detri- ment of the independent grower and shipper who was trying to save his home? t-growers could make a much larger profit if they would but act together. Others spoke, saying it was wrong to charge the directors with misdealing. ‘Colonel Weinstock appeared in the hali at 12:05 o’clock, and his appearance was . Ap] uded. He had been telephoned to come. The convention adjourned to 1 o"clock. - “Ihe first thing at the afternoon session ¥as the reply of Colonel H. Weinstock to thecharges of Mr. Stephens. He said he found himself in a sort of defensive posi- but he did not know why. & Mr. Stephens seems to find fault that I did not send in a more comprehensive re- port-of the Growers' and Shippers’ Asso- cationand that I have not been in more regular attendance here,” he said. e did not know why men who are not members of the associations themselves should be made acquainted with the busi- ness of that association. Mr. Stephens had not read to the convention all the re- port‘he had sent in. Colonel Weinstock then read his report to the State board from the printed reportof the board and aid he did not know of anything he could add to it on the matters brought up. Re- vlying to ihe charge that the New York and Boston markets had been glutted by the Growers’ and SBhippers’ Association he said that Mr. Stephens’ ’FO tion was in- comprehensible to him. This year Omaha, St. Louis and other Western cities were very poor markets, but last year they were good. The resuit was that the ship- per had to send his fruit to the far East- ern market. Lf there were any glutting, the fault wes as much with the independ- ent fhipper as with the association. 3 am satisfied that if Mr. Stephens could he would wipe t is association out, for.lhe reason that it gives growers and shippers light and order, where he wants « darkness and chaos,”’ he said. He_ did not believe the frait-growers wanted the association wiped out. He thought he had been put in a defensive position without cause. He challenged Mr. Stephens to speak out if he knew any- thing of personal discredit to him, or for- ever after hold his peace. N. W. Motberal asked Colonel Wein- stocks if something could not be done to reduce freight charges. Colonel Wein- stock explained that the railroad said the rates could not be reduced, for the reason that California had the lowest continental rates of apy fruit section in this country. Mefnbers at last year's convention promiged to send in specific grievances, buf none had been sent in, and there hau since been nothing for the committee, within whose province the matter came, to:de. Numerous questions were asked Colonel {!‘-‘e.instock by Messrs. Wilson, Frenc: and tion ‘hers, seeking to learn if he knew where téy shipped their fruit and that certain ¥irms West and East knew when and to what points the questioners shipved fruit. Colonel Weinstock replied conclusively to all these questions, staling that he did not know and’ had no means of learning these things, and in several instances he | southern part of the State; | spring and one in the fall, and that the | whole matter be left with the State Board | of Horticulture. The motion prevailea, | with one fixing Shasta County as the place | for the northern convention. | A vote of thanks was returned to’the If not so, why were | showed why it was not possible to learn. As to nolding cars three or four days in Chicago, he said that 1f a car arrived at Chicago and the conditions were unfavor- abie for a sale it was held tielve, twenty- four or thirty-six hours for an opening and possibly shipped off to Cincinnai, Mitwaukee, Cleveland or another point north, south, east or west, and sold before it was a physical possibility for the in- formation to be transmitted back to the shipper here. e D. T. Fowler offered a substitute to the report of the committee on co-overation to the effect that the fruit-growers in e:ch section of the State proceed toform ‘‘co- operative organizations.” Mr. Stephens got the floor lndgl_'oceeded to reply to Colonel Weinstock. Vice-Pres- ident William Johnston was in the chair. He rapped for order and told Mr. Steph- ens tospeak to the question of the substi- tute. Mr. Stephens claimed he was speak- ing to the subject and procegded to talk. In about two minutes Vice-President Johnston, who apparently did not want to allow the “tall sycamore” of the Sacra- mento Valley to say what he wanted in his energetic strain, whacked the gavel on Lieutenant-Governor Jeter's desk with much noise and commanded: vSilence! Talk to the question, sir.” ©] am talking to the question, sir,’’ said Stephens. “You are not,” said the chair. proceeded to dispute, tit for oI am.” “You are not; sit Jown or talk to the question.” Mr. Stephens became stirred to the depths. He shouted until the Senate chamber reverberated with his tones: *I refuse to be gagged and bulldozed by the chair—"" “I am not bulldozing,” said Vice-Presi- dent Johnston, jumping to his feet, and mixing more noise from the gavel with Mr. Stephens’ stentorian tones. The situ- ation became exciting. The eve of the fruit-grower flashea and several jumped to their feet exclaiming: “Mr. Chairman!” *1 am talking in the interest of my home and my children, and I refuse to be bulldozed,” shouted Mr. Stephens, waving his arms for emphasis. “What is the wish of the house?'’ ap- pealed the chair. The vote taken was to the effect that Mr. Stephens should confine himself strictly to the question. The majority of those present were not in sympavhy with his charees, and this had become evident earlier in the day. Mr. Stephens proceeded to have his say, | but with a lesser latitude. He was con- | tinually interruptea by Messrs. Motheral, | Fowler, Block and others, Mr. Motheral finally moving the previous question in order to shut him off. This was ruled out of order, and Mr. Stephens talked a few minutes longer, with more interruptions, and finally sat down. The substitute offered by Mr. Fowler was adopted by a large majority. The | difference, in briei, between the report of the committee on co-operation and the substitute is that the former carries with it matter criticizing the Growers’ and Shippers’ Association A resolution was adopted providing for an exhibit of California fruits at the Ham- burg Horticultural Exhibition, which opens next spring, and requesting the Supervisors of each county in tne State to make the coliection of fruit. Resolutions were also adopted requesting fruit-growers and shippers of the State to ship first-class | fruit only; requesung the regents of the | State University to oven the forestry stations to students and botanists not | students of the university; ecalling on | Congress to construct the Nicaragua canal; asking the State Legislature to pass a pure-food law and indorsing to the | Legislature the efforts of the Highway | Commissioners to make good roads. | San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, | Anderson, in Shasta County, and' San Jose were nominated as places for holding the next Fruit-growers’ Conveantion. A mo- | tion was made that two conventions be held, one in the northern and one in the one in the { Chamber of Commerce and the citizens of Sacramento and the State officers for the agreeable manner in which they had en- | tertained the fruit-growers. | A huge bouquet of yellow chrysanthe- mums, tied with yellow and white rib- bons, emblematic of gold and silver, sud- denly appeared in the chamber. The pres- ident was appointed a committee of one to present it to Governor Badd, who was in the executive office. The Governor could not attend the convention this afternoon, | owing to the hearing of a case of commu- tation of sentence. He extended his best wishes to the convention. A vote of thanks was tendered to the press tor its fair and impartial reports | of the convention. On motion of A. | Block of Santa Clara,; a vote of thanks was returned to the ladies who attended and ornamented the convention. On mo- tion of Mr. Stephens, a vote of thanks was | returned to President Cooper, Vice-Presi- | dents Johnston and Fowler and _Secretary Delong for the agreeable and efficient manner in which they had performed their duties. A special vote of thanks was returned to Mr. Stephens and his cominittee for th-ir efforts in making the convention a success. The fruit-growers were invited to attend the Farmers’ Institute at Santa Rosa next Friday, and acceoted. At 4 o’clock the convention adjourned sine die. LOS ANGELES REFORMERS. The Parkhurst Society Swears to a Score of Warrants—Derelict Policemen in Trouble. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Dec. 4—A big sensation was created here to-day when it was learned that a score of warrants had been issued for about a dozen saloon- keepers and an equal number of persons who manage disorderly houses. These warrants were being served this afternoon as rapidly as the officers cowd locate the individuals. They were issued on com- plaints sworn to by Rev. C. C. McLean, the pastor of dimpson M. E. Church, who is at the head of the law and order com- mittee of the Parkhurst Society of Minis- ters of this city. This is the outcome of much persistent effort on the part of the society to secure the enforcement of municipal ordinances by the police autborities. Some time ago the society called on Chief of Police Glass and wanted to know why he did not en- force the laws regulating the liquor traffic. The Chief replied that he had no knowl- edge of such violations. Then, said the Parkhurst society, we will inform you. 8o they did. The Parkhurst Society expects support from the Police Commission. A promi- nent minister said this forenoon that he haa assurances from several Commission- ers that they would revoke the license of any saloon-keeper who violated the law, provided the Parkhurst Society sup- plied conclusive evidence of guilt. Another sensation was caused late this afternoon by the news that delectives of the society had reported the names of thirty-three policemen whom they saw drinking in saloons whaile on duty. LoS llIOEES MURDER CASE. Strong Defense Advanced to Clear Dr. Shorb of the Charge Preferred Against Him. #L0OS ANGELES, Can, Dec. 4.—The prosecution in the case azainst Dr. An- drew Shorb, on trial for the murder of Mrs. Jennie Snyder, late of Seatile, seems to be gradually petering out. The deiense began taking testimony to- day. The first testimony introduced was a deposition of John Snyder, the husband of the deeevsed, in which he said that while his wife was in the East she had haa, two operations. performed, one of them being for the removal of a cancerous growth. This was followed by depositions of the physicians who treated her. They went at great length into the details of her physical condition. It is the plan of the defense to show that Dr. Shorb was in no wise responsible for the condition that caused Mrs. Sny- der’s death. This afternoon Dr. Royer of Seattle e?i ve some startling testimony. He stated that in June last Mrs. Jennie Snyder and Rellans, with whom she lived and who committed suicide after her death, called at his office in Seattle. He found evidence of injury to the woman, evidently produced by inexperienced hands. The defendant gave his testimony and described his treatment of Mrs. Snyder, denying that he had ever per- formed any criminal operation. —_—— DINGLEY BILL MAY PASS. Congressman McLachlan Does Not Be- lieve the Silver Senators Wiil Block Legislation. : LOS ANGELES, CaL., Dec. 4. — Con- gressman McLachlan will ieave for Wash- ington to-morrow to attend the coming session of Congress. A CALw correspond- ent asked him to-day as to the probability" of accomplishing anything in the way of general legislation during the nex ion. His reply was: “I believe that something will be done in the way of passing the Dingley vill or some similar measure to provide for the raising of more revenue. I don’t antici- pate any opposition from the so-called silver Senators to such & measure as was manifested at the last session.. The ver- dict of the people has been so overwhelm- ingly in favor of Repnblican principles that I believe there will be a patriotic dis- position on the part of the silver Repub- licans to give those principles a fair trial. I would amend the Bmxley bill so as to give greater protection to oranges, lemons, runes, raisins, wool, cattle and Jumber. believe that the Nicaragua canal bill will be taken up and passed at the next ses- sion. “I think that the funding railroad bill will also be taken up at the next session. This bill will be oppoted by the Pacific Coast delegation, with the single excep- tion of Grove Johnson of Sacramento, who fayorsit.” When asked for his opinion with_refer- ence to the disposition of the S8an Pedro- Santa Monica harbor controversy, he saia the whole question was in the hands of the commission of five engineers, which would be here in a few days. “The Lord only knows what it will do. I only know that two Government com- missions have heretofore decided that San Pedro is the better place for the deep-sea harbor, and assuming that their decisions were made upon scientific grounds I was for San Pedro in the contest before the last session of Congress. Assuming that the former reports were based upon proper grounds, we would naturally expect that the new commission will locate the har- bor at the same place for the same reason. However, that commission is no child of mine, and wherever the harbor is located I shall ciaim no credit. And I shall dis- claim. any blame for its creation if the har- bor is not located at the point desired by our people.” S o s STANFORD'S FRESHMAN GLEE. First Event Under the Patronage of the Newcomers—Lively Race for an Editorship. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Dec. 4.—The freshman glee passed off very [ smoothly thisevening in the Encina Gym- nasium. For weeks past the social lights of the freshman class have been planning ard arranging for the first event given under the class patronage. The decoratin committee used great taste in covering up the barren and unattractive walls of the gymnasium. Boughs of evergreens and potted plants served to brighten the gen- eneral appearance of the spacious room. Misses Holmes, Haskell, Caldwell and T. B. Braden, C. G. Murphy, J. ¥. Lanigan and C. Smith, as the freshman glee com- mittee, had charge of the affair. The dance programme consisted of twenty numbers and four extras, waltzes and two steps alternating, Dancing was continued until a late hour. Huber’s Hungarian Orchestra of 8an Francisco supvlied music. Light refreshments were served during the. evening. About fifty couples were present and the affair was voied a decided success. Bishop John P. Newman, one of the the distinguished leaders of the Methodist church, will deliver the sermonin the chapel next Sunday. He was a warm friend of the late Senator Stanford and preached the sermon at the funeral of Leland Stanford Jr. Bishop Newman has not been on_the coast since 1884 and will see Stanford University, with which he has been associated, for the first time. At the student body meeting to-day J. R. Nourse 97 and W. C. McNeil '98 were nominated for the office of editor-in- chief of the Daily Palo Alto. Both of the candidates for the position are decidedly Eopulnr and will mako a hot race for tie onor. Both have served on the paper. At present McNeil is managing editor and Nourse is an associate. The election will take place a week from to-day. Mean- while the friends of the candidates wiil muster their forces. —— WALKED ON MOVING ICE. Perilous Adventure of a Ferry-Boat Cap- tain on the Co‘umbin. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 4.—Captain Hans Jensen of the ferry-boat had a tnrilling experience on the Columbia River this forenoon. Early in the morning he went across on the ice to the Washington side to arrange for loweriu§1 the cable by which the ferry runs. e started back abont 1 o’clock, when the ice ¥as appar- ently solid, but when he had reached the middle of the river the ice began moving. There was no alternative for him but to keep straight ahead. He had on long snowshoes and with their aid he was able to keep on top of the moving body, though it was a most dangerous under- taking. Every step had to be guarded with the greatest precaution, for the least slip would have let him down through the moving mass. For more than ‘an hour the captain wended his perilous journey, while hun- dreds of spectators waiched him from the shore, expecting every minute to see him go down. He reached the ferry on this side safely, and it was inceed a relief to those who had been watching him as well as to the captain. San Diego Decision. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Dec. 4.—A decision was rendered to-day by Judge Torrance sustaining the validity of the city Board of Education operating under the city charter. The question of legality came up on the petition of Superintendent Cub- berley for a writ of mandwmus compell- ing County T easurer Thompson to cash the warrants of the Superintendent and assistant clerk of the board. On advice of the District Attorney, Thompson had re- fused 1o cash the warrants on the ground that the board was illegal and not author- ized to employ sala: officials. LR L == Nan Diego Wants the Line. BAN DIEGO, Car., Dec. 4—A confer- ence was held this morning at the Cham- ber of Commerce between E. C. Potter, the moving spirit in the project to estab- lish a steamship line between San Diego and Honolulu and -Yokohama, and busi- ness men of thiscity. A committee con- sisting of John H.

CHACE FALS 4T SINTA U The Owner of Two Hotels Files a Petition in Insolvency. . Large Number of Creditors Lose Heavily Because of the & Collapse. Lack of Experience as a Boniface Brings Ruin to a Popular Man. SANTA CRUZ, Cav, Nov. 3.—John Rufus Chace, proprietor of the two lead- 1ing hotels of this city, the Pacific Ocean House and Sea Beach Hotel, both being well known to all visitors to Santa Cruz, departed with his wife yesterday for San Jose, and left behind him a petition in in- solvency, -with debts of over $30,000. Everything he has 1s mortgaged, and many local creditors will suffer losses. All of the property that could be secured has been by the Bank of Santa Cruz County and the City Bank of Santa Cruz, and whenathese two creditors, with F. A. Hihn & Co., are paid, nothing will be left for unsecured creditors. The voluntary ‘insolvency proceedings were a surprise to many, but to others not unexpected. Chace, without previous hotel experience, undertook, with very lit- tle capital, to manage two of the largest hotels in the State—houses which needed an experienced manager and a large re- serve fund. Chace is 35 years of age. He was born and raised in Santa Cruz. He was book- keeper for his father, J. D. Chace, in the early eighties, and later was manager for the Postal Telegraph Company. In 1887, during the Santa Cruz boom, he purchased the interest of Lucian Heath of the real- estate firm off] Heath & Drennan, and in 1890 T. V. Matthews, ex-County Assessor, who now appears as the indorser of Chace's notes, purchased the interest of Drennan, making the firm Matthews & Chace. Chace sold to O. L. Tutle in 1892 and pur- chased with J. T. Sullivan the interest of McCollum & Barnbardt in the Pacific Ocean House, ihe purchase KH“ being $18,000. Chace put up half ot this amount. In 1893 he purchased Sullivan’sinterest and alone continued the management of the hotel untit yesterday. In 1895 Chace purchased the business of the Sea Beach Hotel from Sullivan for $11,000, and also assayed torun this alone. While in the real estate business he ac- cumulated $20,000, which he invested in a home and other real estate, and in order to go into the hotel business he mortgaged these Yronaruem From thisdate, through lack of necessary experience, he lost heav- ily, and to meet his liabilities mortgaged every piece of property he owned lng bor- rowed large sums of money on notes in- dorsed by Elizabeth Chace, T. V. Mat- thews, Libbie A. Swiit, Robert Cardiff, C. A. Rice and others. His business is now practically owned by the City Bank and the Bank of Santa Cruz County, the tormer having claims of $5800 and the Iatter $20,- 00, of which $1600 is an overdraft on Cuace’s bank account. Owing to the de- reciated value of all city real estate it 1s loubtful if the real estate mortgaged will return more than 60 per cent of its real value, thus h““‘i a large deficit which will fall upon a large number of local creditors. The petition in insoly ncy was filed by Chace’s attorneys, Lindsay & Cassin, this morning, and Superior Judge Logan ap- pointed Sheriff Milton Besse receiver. The hotels are now practically closed. The hired help is clamoring for recogni- tion, and rumors are flying fast as to what will be the outcome, and under whese management the hotel will be run in the future. Among those mentioned are Messrs. Leonard of Boulder Creek and J. T. Sullivan of S8an Francisco. Yesterday, just before leaving, Chace tried to remove an express wagon load of his furniture, but it was stopped and re- turned to the hotel. There is no doubt Chase lost his money in the hotel ventures and not by gambling or wild speculation. Among the heaviest 8an Francisco_creditors are: D. Politzer, Hildebrandt - Posner Company, William Woolf & Co., W. Pogen, Moore, Hunt & Co., Goldberg-Bowen Company, Wilmerd- ing-Loewe Company, Willara "Bros., Cali- fornia Wine Association, Wetmore Bros., Crown Distilling Company, Michalitsche Bros. Comvany, Siebe Bros. -& Plage- mann.. Santa Cruz creditors suffer heavily, among them being Williamson & Garrett, A. M. Johnston, Santa Oruz Elec.ric Light and Power Company, A. Cohen, Charles Bley, F. A. Hibhn & Co. (probably secured, but at present in doubt,) L-ask & John- son, A. C. Snyder, H. Cowell & Co. and Roberts & Chittenden. The petitioner swears tlere is due $2000 as outstanding debts to him, from J. F. Cunningham $200, Hyck Bros. $450, David Wilson §$425 and sundry smailer local items. There ar2 at present foreshadowed legal complications arising out of the fol- lowing affidavit attached to the petition in insolvency: About December, 1895, petitioner contracted with the City Bank to purchase the furniture of the Sea Beach Hotel for $10,750. The said City Bank holds certain promissory notes of petitioner for the amount of said purchase price, one of which promissory notes for the principal sum of $3950 being signed by Luey E. Chace, Robert Cardiff and C. A. l{lce a8 sureties. Petitioner has never received a bill of sale for said furniture. The City Bank has ever refused ar.d still refuses to deliversuch bill of sale, claiming that the said furniture was not to become the property of petitioner until said purchase price had been paid and that until NEW TO-DAY.

An order authorizing all of these pay- ments stipulated to was made and signed by Judge George H. Buck. A petition was also filed in the same court, in the matter of the same estate, by Frances E. Sweasey, president of the San Francisco Girls’ Union, asking for the ap- pointment of a trustee to take and control a legacy of $5000 bequeathed to the union in trust. This legacy was to be paid at the expiration of five years after thedeath of Charles Lux, which time has long since elapsed. The hearing of the petition was continued. P O A Missing From Port Ludiow. PORT TOWNSEND, WasH., Dec. 4.— Much uneasiness is felt at Port Lualow over the disappearance of William Jack- son and Claude Poole, young hunters, who left the mail steamer Starr at Whiskey Spit, near Gamble, yesterday to hunt ducks. They were to return and join the steamer last night, and were in no wise prepared (0 remain over night. They were in a small boat and the fresh breeze of last night intensified.fears for the safety of the two boys. Thisafternoon searching parties in small steamers visited the aajacent shore near the inlet of Hood canal, but no sign oi the hunters or their boat could be found. 5 peak g on : Freed From Galling Chains.
