LODI, June 15.—The fruit growers’ noon, did not come off, hence the local growers’ union was not organized. The president and secretary prepared for busi ness, but there was not a sufficient num- ber of fruit men present to constitute a quorum and the meeting was declared off. Why such a lack of interest s shown after the enthusiasm of last week when the State organizers were in town is a mystery which the local officers are un- able to explain. Probably the absence of growers was accounted for because of the fact that just now they are in the midst of a very busy season and can find little or no time for anything outside of their orchards. At the meeting yesterday delegates were to be elected to the State Fruit Growers’ Association which meets in Sacramento on Saturday. However, nothing could be done in that line, and if the local fruit men are represented there it must be indlvidually. It looks doubt- ful now regarding the formation of a local growers' union. No date has been set for another meeting e The Storke Libel Case. SANTA BARBARA, June 15.—The pros- ecution in the Yda Addis Storke libel case after two days’' examination of F. M.
