SANTA CRUZ, May 15—The Knights of Pythias and the Rathbone Sisters of California have possession of Santa Cruz. The city has been given over to them and the Santa Cruzans are lavish in their hos- itality to the guests. Seldom has the city been so nicely decorated. Scarcely a store is without its garb of bunting, and everywhere are to be seen the mottoes “Welcome Sir Knights,” “K. of P. Wel- come,” “The City Is Yours. The yel- low, red and blue of the order covers the front of the business houses, while the national flag is floating from all the flag poles. The Courthouse has the Ameri- can colors flying to the breeze from | every window. The avenue is brightened made that he | by myriads of streamers. Everywhere is to be hts with the elegant badge, and all the visitors wear the Grand Lodge badge, which is presented to each delegate.

Broad was in the best possible condition, but Dixon carried considerable superflu- ous flesh. Tom O‘Rourke and Tom Sharkey were in Dixon’s corner. Broad forced the fight- ing at the start and for ten rounds did fll?l} as well as the champion, blocking the latter’s leads beautifully and coming back fast and strong. Dixon's left ear was cut In the fifth round and bled free- 1y Broad's left arm was badly hurt in the eleventh round and he could not, use it to advantage thereafter. Dixon showed all his old-time cleverness, but not his usual speed. He made the pace for the last half of the distance and the referce declared him_ the winner, although the crowd insisted on having it a draw. Dix- on’s margin was not a large one. 8ol SHAEFER BEATS SLOSSON. “Wizard” Wins the First of the Match Game of Billiards.

T0 CONTROL FRUIT TRANSPORTATION e lGrowers to Meet at the Capital. S Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, May 15.—There will be a meeting at the State Capitol to-| morrow afternoon of the transporta- tion committee of the Fruit Growers' convention recently held at Fresno, of which R. D. Stephens, the Sacramento orchardist” and shipper, is chairman. The meeting is fraught with great in- terest to the fruit growers of the State, since its purpose is to take the initial steps toward an organization to wrest the business of shipping fruit from the combine that controls it and to placing it in the hands of the shippers them- lves. R. D. Stephens is the father of the movement and he is enthusiastic in his claims. To-night he declared to The Call correspondent that if the shipping of the fruit was confined to the ship- pers they would be able to place their products in the Eastern markets at one-half the present cost and still make a good profit on the transportation charges. Mr. Stephens declared the proposed organization would not be op- pressive to any of the members. Or- chardists, he said, did not grumble at paying their State and county taxes, nor their fire and life insurance assess:. ments, in order to better protect their property while they were alive and to conseérve it for their families after their death. Mr. Stephens said that if the growers succeeded in forming the con- templated organization they would be masters of the situation. As it is now, the moment an individual shipper sends a consignment to a certain point to an independent agent the two refrigerator companies divert their consignments to that point, glutting the market which the individual grower had hoped to en- ter and effectually dispelling his dream of realizing something on his crop. Under the contemplated system of co- operative transportation the shippers will be able to send their fruit to mar- kets where they know it will meet with ready sales. Beside, they will have a hold on the various railroad lines, since they will be able to say upon which lines they prefer to send their cars. Since the business of carrying these refrigerator cars is profitable to the railroad lines the growers will have nn difficulty in obtaining fair treatment and the most favorable transportation rates. Mr. Stephens said to-night that to- morrow afternoon’s meeting would be in every sense public, and that not orly were the orchardists urged to be pres- ent, but the representatives of the re- frigerator companies and other ship- pers also, to the end that there might be a free and exhaustive discussion of the subject.

The story has been printed before, but addi- tional facts and details are herewith pre- ented. . As is well known the California people have, almost single-handed and alone, fought against the extension of the Pa- cific Railroad debts to the Government. This was but natural, for in that State the Southern Pacific Railroad has an ex- clusive monopoly of transcontinental and freight charges and is enabled | to extort from the producers and ship- pers its own price for transportation. The California people objected to an e The Call Pacific Mail. would théreby continue to derive from the | people money with w..ch to meet the pe- est to the Government, required by “funding bu.” Besides they hoped that the Govern- ment would foreclose on the railroad by | reason of the company’s detault in meet- | ing its just obligations, just as one cred- | itor in an ordina business transaction | may foreclose on a debtor. But Mr. Hunt- ington, through the employment of a | powerful lobby in Washington, has al- ways been able to defeat the will of the people. Always, save one time, when the honest members of the House defeated the extension bfll. But in the last Con- iress the persevering and indomitable juntingtc., caused to be reported from the House Committee on Pacific Railroads and passed a bill providing for a com- mission to settle the debts of the rail- road. This was what he had been striv- ing for for years. The commission was empowered to extend the debts for an- other period of ten years, if in its dis-| cretion this was considered wise. This bill pleased Huntington, of course, for he realized that it is easier to control a com- mission composed of but a few members than it is to purchase a majority of the | House of Representatives. And in_this connection there is no mar ner of doubt that Huntington has ed money lavishly in Washington to accom- plish his ends. According to his own con- fession he spent money freely in having matters ‘“explained” to members of Con- ress by his agents. But this not ali. ie has not only employed ex-membe of Congress (who have access to the floor | of the House) to lobby for him, but he has | sent money in the departments to prevent the cancellation of jand patents to his railroad. Francis M. Gideon, formerly of Indi ana, but who was appointed from Mis- souri to be chief of one of the divisions of the General Land Office while yet clerk in that office was employed by one of | Hunt § to resign his place and “c some land entries made by | the railroad in previous year The Pa- | cific roads were granted alternate sec- tions of land along the lines of their rail- | road, and it was further provided that | where a settler had alread ettled upon or entered at the Land Office any quarter | section which w; included within that grant made to the railroad and which therefore conflicted with it, the settler was not to be disturbed in his possession, but the railroad was given the privilesg of selecting another piece of land or quar- ter tion situated elsewhere as an in- demnity for the piece lost to them by reason of the settler's entry or occupation. | These were called “indemnity grants The Southern and Central F c il- land grant roads | immediately selected great numbers of quarter sections in lieu of and in indemni- ty for those lost through the ttlers. They failed to specify them, tract for tract, and this gave rise to no end of con- The Secretary of the Interior was desirous that the company should file in the Land Office en- tries in detail, a: for instance, he | Southern Pacific selects the following | named quarter section as indemnity for | that quarter section within the original grant to the railroad, but which was lost by reason of the occupation of John Smith.” Instead of thus specifying their indemnity selections tract for tract they the | | the Land Office their selections. Finally Secretary of the Interior Noble issued a peremptory notice to the rail- roads that unless they met (he require- ments their indemnity. selections would be canceled as fast as the work of the Land Office proceeded. This threw the railroad people into a panic. The vice president and general —attorney of the Southern Pacific Railroad entered into ondence with Francis M. Gideon, clerk in the railroad division of nd Office, through an intermediary, and merely “bunched” corr then the La lar employ of Huntington here, and the result was that Gideon made a trip to the Mills building, New York, where after an interview with the rallroad offici he was induced to resign his employment in the Land Office and work for the rail- road in making these corrections. It was suspected that Gideon, who performed the work in an outside office on F street, had been allowed by Commissioner of the Land Office Stone to remove from the TLand Office_the papers and books which properly belong there, and that Gideon, by reason of this favoritism, was enabled to rapidly complete his labors, for Gid- eon was one day observed at work on | leaves which had been taken from Land Office records. It was suspected, too, that Gideon em- loyed clerks in the Land Office to help him, and that this was done with the | knowledge of Commissioner Stone. One | clerk named Nevin acknowledged that he had been paid by Gideon to assist him, | but complained because he had not re- | ceived the full amount promised him.i Commissioner Stone’s own son was al offered_employment and received mon from Gideon. But he, too, complained that he had not received as his reward the whole amount promised him by Gid- eon, and he was foolish enough to com- lain in public, thereby implicating his father, Commissioner Stone. it was ob- vious that young Stone had been em- ployed by Gideon merely for the purpose | of gaining the good will if not the active aid of Commissioner Stone himself. Certain it is that Hunling(on was well leased with the work performed by the Land Office in approving hundreds of thousands of indemnity selections and suing patents therefor to his railroad, for he called on Commissioner Stone in person and thanked him for his industry. Commissioner Stone was, it seems, heav- | l}f involved financially at that time. Mr. | untington not only thanked Comm stoner Stone, but inquired: “Governor, | what are your necessities?” and thereup- | on promised to hand and did thereafter | cause to be handed to Commissioner | Stone some $1500. But the Commissioner | had been promised $2500 by Mr. Hunting- ton, not as a bribe, of course—for Gov- ernor Stone’s character had always been | unimpeachable—but merely *‘to " relieve | his necessities.” But, according to young | Stone, his father never received the tota handed | . | These facts are susceptible of proof, | and this proof can be furnished if neces- sary. The above is related mereiy to show Huntington's methods in Washing- ton. That he has either directly or by in- direction influenced the votes of mem-) | | amount of $2500. He was cnly | bers of Congress is not doubted where his methods are well known. CONVICTED OF IMITATING THE CASTORIA LABEL ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 15.—Samuel Es- | linger, charged with imitating a labelvof | the Centaur Company of New York, was | adjudged guilty and a fine of $230 imposed in the Court of Criminal Correction this | afternoon. It was charged that Eslinger | in the manufacture of a preparation of Castoria had imitated that of the Charles Centaur Company. Judge Clark, being a Eersqmu friend “of Mr. Eslinger, asked udge Hirzel of Clayton to occupy the bench during the trial. Eslinger did not SLEEP 1S NATURE exactly duplicate the Fletcher brand of Castoria, but the similarity sufficient to convict him. He will have to ga to jall if the fine is not paid. The Centaur Company will continue the prosecution of imitators of their goods in the crimina courts. This was the first case. It ends the litigation in St. Louis over the imita- tion of the Charles H. Fletcher brand of Castoria by Eslinger, the Centaur Com- pany winning in both' the civil and crimi- nal courts.
