If the Exantiner means to say that it is to the Democratic poli- ticians that notice has been served, then it was Judge Maguire and the er members of the fusion following who went down to defeat because the | Examiner had not warned them in time that the voters of the State would “de- | mand honesty in office and a spotless Supreme Court.” If reference is made | to politicians of Republican faith it is| ot apparent why any “warning” is | needed.

PROPHECIES MADE IN VAIN | | MANY SALES MADE NOTWITH- STANDING DEPRESSION. | A Glance at the Records, Recent Sales, New Building Con- tracts and General Notes. Notwithstanding the threatened drought and a repetition of the identical atmos- pheric conditions that caused such a de- | pression in realty a year ago, the market is still continuing to manifest a slow but | steady progression. Although every indi- cation points to a continuance of this ad- | vance in the “world of realty,” there is, | nevertheless, considerable apprehension | among the brokers as to the probable dis- | astrous effects of a repetition of another | dry year upon property interests all over the State, particularly in the interior. | The failure of the farmer necessitated by | the lack of the necessary moisture for | the various crops means the contraction | | of more mortgages and the non-payment | | of pledges already taken. Such a conse- quence causes universal disaster to what- | ever hopes the real estatp market might | now extend for a prosperous year. Although city property is apparently and generally considered free from tne | effects that create havoc in the country | markets, nevertheless drought and failure | in the latter mean absolute depression in | the former. | It seems that nearly every prophecy | made by brokers for future success in | real estate is built on a foundation of | sand. They never seem to come true, | | either from the obstinate workings of | nature in the opposite way to that de- | sired and_depended upon for the fulfill- ment of the changes predicted or the ab- solute stagnation of the market produced | by other causes. ‘As has been said, the market at present is progressing instead of deteriorating. | | Many sales of good value were negotiated | during the past week, with a certain | sromise of more in the ear future. Biilaing likewise is improving, numerous contracts being let for the erection of | homes and for business purposes all over the city.

C. Scharff, the real estate broker, claims that the demand for country property is not centered in_any particular part or section of the State. This is evidenced, he argues. by re- cent sales effected by his own firm. The follow- ing is a list of sales demonstrating the truth of the above assertion: Four hundred and eighty acres of grain land, five and a half miles southwest of Bakersfield, have been sold by R. Pluton to George S. Beardsley for 315 an acre. The land is situated in_the artestan belt. Near Glenwood, Santa Cruz County, 75 acres, partly improved, but mostly in redwood, have been bought from R.

Attempt to Reduce the License Fee Charged. The YIicense and Orders Committes of the Supervisors met yesterday and de- voted considerable time to the question of reducing the license assessed against theater ticket scalpers. At presen: the prohibitive rate of $100 per month is charged. A new order was decided upon for report to tha board, fixing the li- cense at $25 per quarter. Rivers and Haskins favored the reduction, but Lack- mann opposed it. A resolution taxing bill posters one cent per square foot for space covered by ad- vertisements on bill boards was com- bated by Siebe & Green, who stated tc the committee that they did not recelve on an average 1 cent per square foot for bill board space and ttherefore coud mnot afford to pay such a tax.

CROCKER SUBMITS HIS REFORT. garb- ‘where of He Makes a Strong Plea for Har- mony Among Stockholders and a Continuanca of the Corporation. The annual session of the stockholders of the California Wine Makers’ Corpora- tion was commenced yesterday In the | rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. The | meeting is purely executive and outsiders are excluded. There were two hundred stockholders present and seven hundred and fifty shares out of a total of eleven hundred were represented. President Henry J. Crocker called the meeting to order and submitted his annual report. In it he spoke of the good results accomplished by the corporation in seeking the markets of the world. Before the new vintage is out all debts will be pald, there will be a cash deposit in bank to meet the payment of a judgment of $100,000 to the California | good balance on hand for distribution to the members. Under the present man-| agement the corporation has paid an an- nual dividend of 5 per cent on the par value of the stock. Mr. Crocker made a plea for the continuance of the co-opera- tive plan, the resuits of which warrant such a course as long as the producers in acting together protect their own inter- ests and their flnancial supporters. The report of Secretary Hotchkiss stated that the sult with the California Wine Association will be appealed. The | outlook for the wine makers is promising and the market will not be forced. It has | gn hand 7,000,000 gallons of good wins for The members took part in a discussion in which the management of the corpora- tion was criticized, and suggestions were made for an {mprovement in affairs. The discussion, which was mainly in the line of inquiry, took up the greater part of the day. The main question likely to arise at the convention is the continuance of the or- ganization. Some dissatisfled members are in favor of its discontinuance, and should they assume control disruption | will follow. It is almost certain that the | policy of the corporation will experience a radical change. Secretary and Manager Hotchkiss is a stanch believer in co-op- eration among wine producers and is working hard for harmony among the | stockholders. The combination was | formed for five years, and will end with | this vear’s vintage. He asserts emphat- | ically that disorganization is out of the | question. i ‘“The dissatisfaction existing among| some members,” he said, “is on account | of results, and not causes. They have | not received for their '9% wine poration, held on obliged to to maintain prices, to '8%6 wine and were c contend with the enormous 97 product. As a consequence prices went down. It may have been an error of judgment, but our operations have been too fair for disruption to oc- cur. The session will be resumed and - cluded to-d. g LITTLE WILLIE AND A SULPHUR MATCH CAUSE A FIRE SCARE IN MADI- SON SCHOOL. Pupil Maguire Gives the Alarm, Prompt Action Averts Danger and No Damage Is Done. Had not Pupil Maguire made a discov- ery on Monday afternoon Madison Pri- mary School, on Clay street, between Walnut and Laurel, might have been a mass of smouldering ruins, “Willie” | ‘Woods charged with the awful crime of | arson, and the lives of many pupils en- | dangered. It was close to the time of dismissal | when -Miss Bartlett, principal of the school, told Maguire to open one of the | windows to admit some fresh air. The | lad complied, and, with an inquisitiveness natural to his age, stuck his head out to ses what was going on. That little insig- nificant act probably saved the school, for he noticed smoke issuing from the cracks | between the boards under the lower floor | in the corner. | Now Maguire did not out and alarm his fellow pupils as an ordinary boy would | have done, but, realizing the gravity of | the situation, he went quietly to his | teacher and told her that the building was | on fire. Miss Bartlett, with equal ceol- | they were boxing. ness, then dispatched him for the nearest policemen. But no sooner had he gone | when another boy saw the smoke and set up the cry of fire. This caused a | smali-sized panic, and the scholars began | to scamper in all directions. Some, with | excellent _forethought, packed up their | books, others climbed through the win- | dows, 'while one of the boys fainted. H Miss Bartlett succeeded in gaining some | semblance of order, and by that time the | policeman appeared upon the scene. He crawled under the building and beheld, in dition to a small-sized blaze, “Wilite” Woods standing by with folded arms. Like Nero, who witnessed _the burning of Rome, he was calmly observing the prog- ress of the flames, only, unfll(e ero, | “Willie” was minus the Addle. With & | bucket of water the valiant officer put out the fire and dragged out the .. The woodwork was not scorched, the fire be- ing caused by the bu of some papers. No damage was done, and it was unneces- sary to call out the Fire Department. Now, it is not definitely known whether “Willi¢" did it, but his presence and tne fact that one of the boys had heard him threaten to get even for having been sus- pended last week, is taken as sufficient evidence that he did with malice afore- thought light the papers with his littie matc! ‘As_the recogniged wit of the school put it, “Willle” was ““fired,” and he decided to fire the school.

HIS BLOWS NOT EFFECTIVE P THE BOXING BOUT DEVOID OF SCIENTIFIC WORK. The Men Divided Their Share of the Gate Receipts, Amounting to Over Thirteen Hundred Dollars. The outcome of the fight between “Spider” Kelly and Fred Muller, Tues- day night, displeased the men who had picked the former to win. They could see nothing to it but the “Spider,” and when Referce Wand decided it a draw they could see no justice in it whatever. Phil Wand, whose honesty as a referee has never been questioned, stands by his decision and backs it up with sound ar- gument. “Kelly never had the lead over Muller that the friends of the former thought they saw. Kelly is a better boxer than Muller, but he landed few clean blows and then got away, on Tues- day night. When Muller is not in action he s dull and listless and by his slouchy manner gives the spectators the impres- sion he can hardly stand another round. “From the view I had of the fight I know he was stronger throughout than Kelly. He had the latter going many times. Kelly had every advantage. He had the benefit of Young Mitchell's coaching, and in addition would not fight under the rules as specified in the articles of agreement. It was to be straight Mar- quis of Queensberry rules, which per- mit of hitting in the clinches. The Kelly people objected to this when they entered the ring and Muller conceded the point to them, although it was to his disad vantage “Kelly also used the heel of his glove repeatedly in a chop blow that is ex- pressly forbidden by the rules. There was no sclence displayed in the fight, and I could not find any points {n favor of either man. I understand the friends of Muller claim he should have had the de- cision. As high an authority as Hiram B. Cook told me he would have awarded the fight to Muller. Kelly is a great | faker in the ring, and he seemed to the spectators to be doing much better than he really was.” As the bout was a draw the men divided the percentage of the receipts for which Their share of the “gate” was $1315, of which each secured alf. Eleven hundred and eighty-five tickets were sold by Harry Corbett in the Paris mutuels. Bettors holding tickets on either man to win in from eighteen to twenty rounds, cashed.
