Many things are coming to Il|ght that show how ridiculous is the whole gigan- tic plague fake. built up by Kinyoun and the local board of political doctors. An eminent surgeon and bacteriologist, who is familiar with the plague, says that if the hands of amateur surgeons and bae- teriologists had handled a real plague stricken body after the fashion that tgq have dissected and howled about the al- leged cases, every man of them .would L S e S le S S o s oo »s_advised Kin- | Kin- | | would appeal for F | since | Board of Health. now be de and the plague would have teen epidemic beyvond the question of u] loubt and bevond control. | It is related t 2 member of the State | Board of Health, directed by the Gov- ernor to secure rds from the bodies uspects to preserve them un further orders, carried a bucketful of the | ileged infected glands through the streets and even in a crowded street car.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CALL HEADQUARTERS, HOTEL WALTON, PHILADELPHIA, June 17.— Early Sunday morning National Commit- teeman John D. Spreckels called on the California delegation and was accorded a hearty reception by each and ail of the members, Mr. Spreckels was the first to impart to the members of the delegation the, news of the quarantining of Califor- nia. The entire delegation to a man con- sidered this procedure an outrage on the people of Californta and Mr. Knight was immediately requested to call a meeting of the delegation. The meeting was convened at 1 o'clock, at which hour Mr. Sprcekels read sev- eral dispatches from San Francisco an- nouncing the situation. The delegation appointed a committee consisting of W. C. Van Fleet, Dr. Chester Rowell, Dr. Geo. C. Pardee, J. D. Spreckels, W. B. Rideout and W. D. Robbins, to go at once to Washington and intercede with the officials there agalnst the conduct of Dr. Kinyoun. The committee, With the secretary ot the delegation, Edgar Peixotto, imme- diately repaired to Mr. Spreckels’ apart- ments at the Walton Hotel, where they were joined by W. A. Bissell, of the Santa Fe Raflroad. The situation was dis- | cussed and all agreed there was no neces- sity whatever for any such course to be | pursued by the quarantine officers of San Francisco. A telegram was sent by Mr. Spreckels to San Francisco for the exact situation ; and another to Secretary Hay at Wash- ington requesting the Secretary to ap- point a time to meet the committee from the delegation. The committee expects to leave Philadelphia Monday morning at 10:20, reaching Washington at 1:40 p. m., and will proceed at once to interview the necessary officials at Washington. As Dr. Pardee remarked there can be no more important duty devolve upon the delegates and citizens of California than to at once remove this unwarranted stain from California’s fair name.

June 17.—Last night the quarantine Inspector met the Santa Fe east-bound train at Bannock, a few miles west of Needles. There were eight- een passengers on the train without health certificates. The inspector served an or- der to hold the train, but the order was nored by the conductor. The inspector t with the train to the State line and served the notice on each passenger. This was also ignored. The Federal quarantine inspector was to-day prevented from molesting passen- anta Fe trains at the State line, authority is ignored by the rail- road officials. Orders were issued to all conductors to take up the pass of the inspector, Mr. Jenkins, lldpresented, and collect fare. Jenkins wired Surgeon Kin- vouh for instructions. The conductors were also ordered to give the inspector no information. % LOS ANGELES FEARFUL OF THE DREAD PLAGUE Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, June 17.—In an inter- view to-night Mayor Fred Eaton and Health Officer Dr. L. M. Powers gave it out flat and hard that they"are of the opinion that the bubonic plague does ex- Ist in San Francisco and that they e preparing to meet any emergency that in the future may arise. This feeling is well demonstrated in the language used in the following telegram sent to Quarantine Officer Kinyoun by the Los Angeles Health Board: Am instructed by Board of Health to thank you for any information or suggestions. Wil Preparing for an emerxenc: Regarding this telegram Dr. Powers to- night said: / ‘““We have been satisfled for some time that the plague does exist in San Fran- cisco, and meyer have doubted its exist- ence, as Dr. Kinyoun andsthe San Fran- cisco Health Beard would not put them- gelves in a foolish attitude by saying it does if the contrary were true. We have no right to question what information they give our board, as they ground and can intelligently determine the seriousness of the situation.” In answer to the direct question whether this board would quarantine against San Francisco, Dr. Powers said: “Two weeks ago we requested the steam..

Mayor Eaton “‘Out of the wilderness of conflicting re- ports that come from San Francisco re- garding the existence of the plague it is difficult to arrive at a just conclusion. We must be governed b; what officfal reports | are made, and these say it does exist.

E. Crossman, president of the Board | of Trade, says the placing of a quaran- tine on the State is the worst thing gen- erally that could have happened to Cali- fornia. It means the loss of millions of |-dollars from tourists and travelers and | great loss to our fruit growers. A.

P. Cragin, president of the Farm- | pr!lt"i('lub‘ expressed the same opinion. He said: “If Eastern people get it into their heads that we have the plague, of which there is much doubt, and become possess- | ed of a fear that it will spread they will | not buy our fruits, and the fruit interests | of California will suffer severely. | growers think the notorfety already given | the State by the Board of Health has af- | fected their receipts from cherries. The | | quarantine should be raised.” | { . Dr. Miller, president of the Board of | Health, said we had positively nothing to | fear from the disease. The fruit inter- | | ests of Santa Clara County will suffer a | body blow if quarantine regulations are | carried out to the letter. FRUIT GROWERS CONDEMN | KINYOUN’S QUARANTINE | Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, June 17.—The opinion appears to be general among fruit grow- ers—although the fruit shippers may not share it at the present time—that the astounding action of Dr. J. J. Kinyoun in placing a quarantine against California will play sad havoc with California fruit this year in the Bast. There seems to be no division in the sentiment among the orchardists, who unite in condemning the | course of the Federal quarantine officer. | One of the most projninent fruit growers | in Sacramento County is ex-Senator Wii- liam -Johnston of Richland, on the Sac ramento River. To The Cali correspond- ent to-day Senator Johnston said: “This quarantine is a humbug. It s/ nothing but politics. I don't believe there ever was a case of plague in San Fran. cisco. If this thing is kept up it is going | to prove disastrous to the State’'s fruit interests. Another large river fruit grower owning orchards both in Sacramento and Yolo counties is T. B. Lovdal. To The Call correspondent he said to-day: “This quarantine, for which I belleve, in common with others acquainted with the facts, there is absolutely no necessity, is bound to prove injurious to our fruit in- terests, since it will create in the East a bad impression. People at a distance are bound to get a distorted idea of the true situation. It is always so, whether in the matter of hope or of fear. When the guarantine was on in Hawaii everybody | here was afraid of the fruit coming from | the islands. I don't know what the ef- fect of the plague scare has been on East- ern purchasers thus far, or what it will be., but I do know that the plague has been used as a lever by the shippers to indyce the growers to sell their fruit at a lower rate. Growers. instead of selling outright as formerly, are obliged to sell on consignment this year, and the play scare has been advanced as the reason.” Assemblyman Morris Brooke, an or- chardist who handles considerable fruit, said that he had just received a letter from a fruit grower from the river sec- tion stating that he had been obliged to part with his fruit-at a cut price because of the gloomy Y;m!pec' held out to him by the dealers based upon the plague scare. Shipments of apricots were partic- ularly small since the plague bugaboo was ralsed. Mr. Brooke believed that the fruit industry would suffer by the quaran- tine. George B. Katzenstein, vice president of the Earl Fruit Company, was asked for his views. He said that shipments were golng ahead daily and were larger than ever before. OPINIONS OF GROWERS ON THE SAN JOAQUIN Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, June 17.—Major J. D. Peters, one of the heaviest shippers of fruit in this section, was asked this after noon as to the probable effect the State quarantine will have on the fruit inter. ests. He sald that. fortunately, the blow had come early, and that there might | yet be time to rm?el any prejudices the | Eastern people might feel against Calj- fornia products.
