P a THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 25 1897. WAKING ICH OF / WORTHLESS LMD Swindlers Unearthed by Postal Inspegtor Flint. Have Bonded a Barren Tract for Many Thousands of Dollars. The Debentures Reacily Disposed of to Gulleless Eastern Speculators. LOS ANGELES, Car. May 24.—Bouth- ern California has sufered much in past years by reason of tte many land swin- dles that have been perpetrated upon con- fiding Easterners, anc especially upon the capitalists of Eurore. As soon as one wildcat scheme is exposed another arises to take its place. Postoffice Inspector Flint is now working upon a case that promises some lateresting revelations. 1spector saic to-d ver since Queen Victoria has shown nterest in the prevention of land frauds in California I have taken particulas pains to protect confiding Britishers against the wiles of the real estate swindler, and I think I have run down one of the worst of the many cliques which are separating too credulous people from their money. “Up somewhere about Acton a company that I am about ready to gather in isop- erating. 1 understand that it has issued & lot of bonas based on tie ownership ofa fruit raunch, the interest and principal of the debenture to be paid from the sales of the crops. There are no crops. As far as 1 can learn they have a few acres of land which was planted to trees ten years ago, and all of the trees died. I know that the company has issued $124000 worth of bonds, and no one but the company’s ‘in- | side man’ knows how much more has been sold. The base of operations is in an Eastern city and I hope to have the chief officers under arrest in a few days. 1 will make my report to-morrow.’’ In the meantime the prosecution of Casey goes on before United States Com- missioner Van Dyke. This man is a cused of using the United States mail to farther the sale of some lands advertised as located near Pasadena and valuable, although as a matter of fact they were on the steep slopes of a mountain and worth- less. His enterprise was a small one com- pared with the othe e FISALIA ORCHAKDISTS CUMBINE. Fruit-G@rowers’ Union Adopts Articles of Incorporation. VISALIA, Can, May 24.—The perma- nent organization of the Visalia Fruit- growers' Union was effected this af noon at a meeting in this city. Articles of incorporation were read and adopted and the papers will be forwarded to Sac- ramento to-morrow. The following fruit- growers were elected as directors for a ye Thomas Jacob, B. C. Anderson, J. Bub Johnson, B. F. Pennebaker, Ben L. Maddox, George A. Fleming, W. H. Ham- mond, E. H. Miles and A. J. Buckman, This movement is an important one for this section of the San Joaquin Valley. Heretofore the local fruit interests have | been greatly endangered by loose meth- ods of disposing of the dried products. The union proposes to receive, sell, pack and otherwise control all kinds of dried fruit for the mutual benefit of the erow- ers. Btock to the amount of $3700 has been subscribed, and this represents a crop this year estimated at 670 toms of dried prunes and 250 tons of dried peaches.

One Man Kiled and Another Injured by a Blast in the Donnebroge Claim. MARYSVILLE, CaL, May 24, — Ed Sherman, aged 28, a miner who arrived recently from Nevada City, received inju- ries last night in the Donnebroge mine in Browns Valley which resulted in his death an hour later. Sherman and a young man named Shea had piaced six blasts in a stope on the 500-foot level and ignited the fuse. Shea took the lead in the re- treat and had reached a place of safety, wheh he looked back to find that his fellow-employe was not following. Sher- man’s candle had gone out. Thinking to guide his_comrade Shea turned back with his candle toward the stope, but he had gone but a short dis- tance when the first blast exploded. Nothing daunted, thouzh the concussion had extinguished the flame of his candle, Shea groped through the darkness to the spot where Sherman lay prone upon the eround. He was carrying the wounded man out of the stope when the remaining blasts went off in quick succession. After reaching the surface Sherman lived but an hour, death being due to in- ternal hemorrhages and laceration of the bowels. One piece of rock entered Sher- man’s back and passed through his body. Sherman was a member of Court Gar- field, Foresters of America, at Nevada City, to which piace his body will be sent for burial. Shea will recover, his greatest injury being a wound in the calf of the leg, where a piece of quariz was found im- bedded in the muscle next to the bone, el g b CARSON BAMK LOSES A BUIT, Fails to Collect on an Assigned Claim From Trenmor Coffin. CARSON, Nev., May 24.—The case of the Buliion Bank vs. the Union Mill and Mining Company was to-day decided in avor of the defendant. It involved a $25,000 claim for legal services. Some months ago, when the Bullion Bank changed hands, Trenmor Coffin was in debt to the bank to the extent of $14,000. The directors insisted on a settlement and Coffin assigned to the bank his fee in the Union Mill and Mining Company case, having been the attorney of the company. His claim was presented to the company by the bank, and payment was refused on the grounds that Coffin had agreed tocon- duct the case for $3000 and had been paid in full. This the company proved by sev- eral witnesses who were present when the money was paia and the agreements made. The court decided that Coffin had aiready received all that was due him for legal services, gave a judgment for the defend- ant and assessed the costs of the case to the Bullion Bank. el g AW Mare Island Workmen Discharged. VALLEJO, Can., May 24—The con- tractors building the quaywall at Mare Island have been notified that their men shall work but eight hours a day instead of ten hours as heretofore. The pay of the men has been reduced to$175 a day and they are obliged to patronize a board- ing-house owned by the contractors. As soon as the reduction in hours was made the seven or eight Vallejo workmen were discharged, owing, it was claimed, to lack of material. The men believe their dis- charge was a bit of spite work, as the agi- tation toreduce the working hours 1o eight was brought about through the interces- sion of Vallejo people with their Repre- sentative in Congress, Hon. 8. G. Hilborn. i et Carson Boy Fatally Injured. CARSON, Nkv., May 24.—Wallace Mc- Kenzie, a boy of 12, yesterday caught a strange horse and mounted it for a ride, leaving a rope with which the horse was guided tied about his waist. The animal threw him off and kicked him on the back of the head, fracturing the skull. It then started to run, dragging the boy behind. After belng dragged for some distance his clothing was torn off and the rope slipped off. He will die. e Wanted at Fruitvale, STOCKTON, CaL, M 24.—Sheriff Cunningham and Deputy Wall went into the country near French Camp yesterday and arrested a young man by the name of Love, who is wanted at Fruitvale for ob- tiining oney under false pretenses.

LASTING GIFT T0 ITS ALMA MATER Stanford’s Senior Class Memorial Plate Dedicated. President Jordan Receives the Tablet on Behalf of the University. Pleasures of Class Day Conclude With a Dance In Encina Gymnastum. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., May 24.—The class-day exercises of the gradu- ates of '97 were held in the chapel to-day, attended by the seniors in a body and by their relatives and visitors. The exer- cises preceded the dedication of the class plate, one of the most interesting of com- mencement week features. Tu the introductory remarks Charles Pope, president of the class, made men- tion of their many oblizations to Stanford University. e believed that as a whole the class had done its best in university work, and he hoped it would be missed in college affairs aiter graduating. The class history was read by H. Z. Os- borne Jr. The important victories of the senior class were called to the attention of the audience and some misapprehensions concerning the class corrected. Professor A. W. Smith delivered a part- ing address to the seniors in his usual bappy style. He pointed out the value of a happy spirit and showed how it made the burdens of life easier to carry. The sophomore cane presentation fol- lowed. " he ireshmen bn attaining the rank of sophomores, according to college tradition, are entitled to the privilege of carrying a cane. C. E. Schwartz, presi- dent of the sophomore class, made the presentation speech. J. P. Rusk accepted it on behalf of the freshmen. Both sides enlivened the occasion by bits of pleas- antry, which were appreciated by the audience. The last will and testament was read by R. J. O'Neil. It abounded in local hits and met with applause. After the ‘“‘class will and testament’’ the audience assem- bled at the site of the new chapel to wit- ness the dedication of the memorial plate. Tt consists of a siab of bronze set into the cement walk. A similar memento had al- ready been left by the class of '96. On the bronze tablet is a '97 mark to designate the author of the gift. H. C. Hazzard '97 delivered a neat dedication address. Each class leaves traditions which become more interesting as tife years pass by. Dr. Jordan responded on behalf of the university. In substance he said: “Iam giad to receive the Stanford plate of the class of 1897. It is my proudest hope that I may be here to receive such a gift from many a class to follow. In my thoughts I can see tLis zigzag of bronze tablets cornering one upon another in a lengthening line; a line of gold on the brown and gray of these cloister floors un- til the whole quadrangle is made brighter by their presence.” The graduating class gave a most suc- cessful senior ball this evening in Encina gymnasium. About sixty coupies were present. The graduation ball, which is considered the most important social event of the year, called out Stanford’s most fashionable toilets. The patronesses were: Mesdames D. S. Jordan, J. 8. Stillman, C. D. Marx, A. W. Smith, C. N. Little, E. 8. Baker, Gertrude Plate, E. B. Wight, A. B. Rice, M. A. Brantley, A. Morrison, the Misses H. H. Winslow and E. V. Dickinson. The decorations of the gymnasium con- sisted of redwood boughs from the moun- tains back of the campus, potted plants and cut flowers.

He said : “1 killed my wife, and if God would give me strengih to pull a trigger I would do the same thing again. Sentence me at once and hang me to-morrow if possi- ble.” He gave instructions to an undertaker to have a certain shirt’ and necktie form part of his burial garb. This the under- aker agreed to do if Berry’s body was re- turned to this city after the execution. S FEUD NEAR PETALUMA. War Between Rival Claimants of the Reed Ranch Continues, PETALUMA, CaL, May 24,—The war between the two claimants of the Reed ranch continues. ~Mark Carr and his party have possession, but the Reed fac- tion has made a sort of primitive camp and is still holding on. It was re-enforced yesterday by newcomers from San Fran- cisco and some shooting took place, though no one was hurt. It is greatly feared that there may be bloodshed before the affair ends. Carr went to Santa Rosa to-day and hopes soon to have the courts give him peaceable possession. Lo COLUE LINE DEAWN, ZTwo Negro Children the Cause of @ Bitter Church War. LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 24.—A race war is on in the Central Baptist Church in this city. The innocent cause of the trouble are two little colored children who have been attending SBunday-school. A committee of church members waited upon the Rev. Mr. Copas, the pastor, and demanded that negrochildren be exciuded from the Snnday-school. The pastor re- fused and was supported in his stand by a portion of the congregation, but a number of leading members demanded their let- ters and left the church.

Mission of the Students Now Gathered at Pacific Grove. Will Labor for the Good of Thelr Fellows in the Halls of Learning. PACIFIS GROVE, CiL, May 24 — “Nothing succeeds like success” is a saw as old as the most distant recollection of the ‘‘oldest inhabitant.” Ithas been veri- fied since the Students’ conference held ity first session in' this city among the pines. As the work continues the interest and attention of the delegates increase in a remarkable degree. The work being done by this convention is not only thorough and substantial, but far-reach- ing in its effect upon student life on the Pacific Coast. ‘The delegations from the principal in- stitutions, such as Stanford and the Univer- sity of California, have especial by enthu- siastic members, and the quiet of the town is often suddenly rent by the vociferous college yell of either or both of these rival institutions. The Stanford-delegation cot- tage is adorned with a big white “8.” on a crimson field over the main door, and almost all their fellows wear prominently their college or fraternity colors. To-day’s session began with & short preliminary business meeting. Then Rob- ert E. Lewis called together his training class or the missionary institute confer- ence. The lecture was upon the head, “Missionary Meetings in College Associa- tions.”” His topic was divided under the following heads: First—Shall regular missionary meet- ings be held {n colleze associations? Yes; because the whole attitude of the college on this subject—the life and power of the association — depends upon missionary zeal. Second — Meetings should be held monthly, because of the size and ignor- ance of the world, and the blight that falls upon the associations if the meetings be neglected. Mr. Lewis advised that the young men and young women of coeduca- tional institutions hold joint mestings. Third—How meetings are made effective. Under this division, he advised care in planning work by those who had it in charge. Fourth—How to get students to attend. Make the meetings bright and attractive, use attractive announcement posters and invitations, and above all do not sing “Greenland’s Icy Mountains’’ or any other stereotyped missionary hymn, was his ad- vice. Two simultaneous meetings occurred at 9 o'clock. The one for colloge men in the east chapel of the Methodist Episcopal church was addressed by C. C. Michener. From large experience in college work Mr. Michener is fitted to give strong practical talks, and his subject this morning— “Work for the New Student’—was well handled. The main point of dis- course regarding the new student was that he should be influenced in the hearty stu- dent fashion to enter the college Young Men’s Christian Association just as he was influenced to enroll himself in a fra- ternity. The other meeting was in the *'Old Par- lor” and was for the City association dele- gates. F. L. Willis gave the talk to these delegates upon “What Manner of Man the Secretary or Paid Employes of City Associations Should Be.” He demon- strated in forcible words that the position should be filled by a man who was so- cially and pbysically, as well as educa- tionally, fitted to meet almost every class of men apon an equal tooting, and that, added to personal magnetism, he should have strong, practical business qualifica- tions. He shouid be up todate in every way, of economic and systematic habits, and, above ail, a personal worker and leader among men. Robert E. Lewis began the instruction to the Bible class at 10 o’clock on the gen- eral theme, “‘Christ, the Soul-winner.” “The -Conversion of Nicodemus’’ was the first subhead of his talk, under wkich he described the official position of Nicode- mus as a member of the Sanhedrim as corresponding to that of joint officers—if such were possible—of Supreme Justice and Secretary of State of our American commonweaith. The second subhead treated of the manner in which the con- version of this cultivated ana powerful Jew was effected. Mr. Lewls cited as another notable example of Christ’s win- ning of soulsthe meeting and talk with the woman of Samaria and her subse- quent conversion. The recreation programme to-day in- cluded a trip around the seventeen-mile drive, which the convention delegations made en m: The Pacific Improve- ment Company obligingly suspended its rigidly enforced rule regarding wheeling on the drive in favor of the college men, and gave special permission for them to ride their bicycles the entire length of that famous roadway. Because of the coolness of the evening the life-work class-meeting the west chapel of the M. E. Church, instead of in the ‘pine grove. Robert E. Lewis of Chicago was tke prin- cipal speaker, discoursing upon ‘‘The Medical Mi; nn;l;."

STOCKTON, CAL, May 24.—A sea lion is said to be swimming in the waters of the Ban Joaquin River, in this vicinity. He was seen yesterday near the Garwoods- ferry bridge by four persons—L. A. At- wood, D. N. Lay, Mr. Manning and Mr. Btockton. It is supposed that the am- phibian came up the river in search of fish, having found that the fresh-water specimens were to his liking. Some time ago iwo sea lions swam up from the sea and paid Stockton a visit, remaining for several days in McLeods Lake. They frightened a number of boat- men who were not used to_seeing the amphibians in these waters. Numbers of boating parties out on the channel put for shore when they saw the noses of the seals poking above the water. Beveral times seals haye followed the river steamers until they leit the bay, evi- dently intent on getting what was thrown from the galley for food, and once two years ago one followed a steamer for up the river, apparently in a test of speed with the Vessel, for every time it stopped the seal would do likewise, and then re- sume the race. In the present instance the sea lion apparently came up stream to seek new quarters and food, and was not noticed by the steamer men. It was seen by the gen- tlemer. named, and is_still disporting in the waters of the San Joaquin. il Wedded at Woodland. ‘WOODLAND, CaL., May 24.—William P.
