L e ek e e e WILL DISCUSS FRUIT MARKET Call Issued for Meeting of Growers and Packers. —— SAN JOSE, Dec. 26.—The dissatisfaction among the prune men over the present policy of the California Cured Fruit As- sociation has led to the calling of a joint meeting of the directors of the associa- tion and the California Packers’ Company for to-morrow morning to see what can be done to improve the conditien of the market. The demands of those growers who want an allowance of differentials on large sales and a reduction of one cent a pound on the four-size basis, will be given special attention and discussion, and those prune men have been requested te attend and present any ideas they have | in regard to a change of policy. So far as can be learned, the directors | of the Cured Fruit Association do not favor a reduction in prices or a change of presidents. Directors of both the Pack- ers’ Company and Cured Fruit Assocla- tion say they have differed at times with Presidemt Bond's policy, but they consider it a lamentable exhibition of “weakness and one liable to defeat the whole object of the two organizations to cut prices or make a chan{e in management right in the middle of the selling season. ~They look upon the movement started by the bandful of dissatisfied growers as ex- tremely unwise and lamentably demoral izing to the market. They consider it the work of two or three men who have grievances against the management and point to the failure of these dissatisfied rowers to obtain signatures to the paper hey are circulating asking for Bond's gnation ‘or a change in policy. The hotbed of dissatisfaction appears to be in the Berryessa district. They claim there Bond is too arbitrary and imperiai- istic. They think the prices too high, dif- ferentials to European countries antagon- istic to Eastern buyers, and believe large buyers should get a discount. A good share of the critielsm of the management of the Cured Fruit Associa- tion comes from the business men of this NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—Many turfmen discussed Sloan’s case yesterday, it be- ing brought into prominence again by h's | riding Vesuvian at the Tanforan track | on Christmas day. The fact that Sloan's | license s not revoked is genmerally ac- ! cepted as the real reason why the Tan- | foran authorities permitted him to ride, | and there is no doubt that had Sloan ac- cepted 2 mount on an American or Eng- lish jockey club course he would have | been allowed to fulfill his engagement. | but the advisability of his doing so is se verely questioned. As a prominent turf- man said yesterday: “What is Sloan to gain by it? The money he would receive for riding in a few races between this and the first of | now in this city, was asked what | bas Special Dispatch to The Call. next year would be so small that it would not enter into the argument. On the other hand, the fact that he is ridini as much as saying to the English jockey club, ‘T can do as 1 please this year: your edict does not go Into effect until next season.’ ™ The Earl of Clonmel, a well known turf- man and breeder of thoroughbreds, arr\‘: thought about the Sloan case. He said: “I think Sloan would have been much wiser to have kept in the background, at any rate for the present, and if he be- = himself in a quiet, unostentio manner for a year, there is no doubt he will be granted a license again. He brought this !hlnfi,on himself by his man- ner of living and His barefaced effrontery. 1t was common talk that Sloan was bet- ting and if his application for a new li- cense h not been refused something worse would have happened to him. I think he was let off very lightly and I do not think anything more is meant than a warning. Sloan must learn his place | as a jockey if he wants to ride in Eng- | land again, and [ am surprised that he | has been tolerated as long as he has. | " Foxhall Keene, who leaves for England on Saturday, thinks that under the cir- cumstances Sloan did no harm by riding | at Tanforan. As his license is not re- | voked, he considers he s in good stand | ing until he applies for a new license and fused. ® Colonel Thomas Ochiltree expressed sur- | prise that the Tanforan authorities shou!d | have permitted Sloan to ride, but gt th he aid not think that' their | same time | permission would have any effect on the | ease when it came before the jockey club. S o e el S S R e e i e sy POOLMEN MUST GO OUT OF BUSINESS Three Superior Judges Sit- ting in Bank Decide Against Them. 5 ASE The poolsellers will now go out of busi- | ness entirely if they will abide by the agreement made between them and Chief | Sullivan that in the event of the Supe- rior Court deciding against them they | would close up their places and plead guilty-in all the remaining cases, about| twenty-five in number, still pending in‘the | police courts, | A part of the agreement was that two | cases should be tried on their merits| without a jury with the object of deciding | as by the evidence and the law as to what constituted a pool, and if there was a pool transaction. The cases selected were those of George Duncan and Harry Cor- bett. The former was tried before Judge Cabaniss and the latter before Judge Mo- | SYEf bUL the inden Aoidhed o akened | gan, and in each case a conviction was had and a nominal fine of $25 was im-| posed. Briefs were submitted on the cases | on appeal and also in the case of Harry Corbett and Joseph Mohan, charged jolnt- ly, and who had been convicted and fined, the former $300 and the latter $100. Yes-| terday Judges Lawlor, Cook and Dunne, sitting in bank in Judge Lawlor 8 | court, gave their decision on these cases, affirniing the judgments of the lower courts. Attorney Collins, for the defen- dants, asked for a stay of five days, but | it was refused and the remittiturs were ordered sent to the lower courts at once. In the case of John Riley, a clerk in Harry Corbett’s poolrooms, the judgment | of the lower court was reversed on a | technicality, 3 In what is known as the “San Jose’ case, in which the defendants were Harry Corbett, Walter McInerney and James Daly, a petition on their behalf for a re- hearing was denied, and the remittitur was ordered sent forthwith to the lower | court. The point in this case was as to| whether a bet wired from here to San | Jose was actually made in this county or | in Santa Clara County. It was held that the bet was made in this county. In the “bucket shop” cases in which W. D. Valentine, M. Burke, H. Muller and A. Pritchard were defendants, the judgment of the lower court finding them guilty was affirmed, one of the Judges dissenting, and at Attorney Collins’ request a stay of five days was granted, as he announced that he would take the case before the Supreme Court. Valentine was fined in the lower court and each of the oth- ers $100. Chief Sullfvan and Attorney Coffey, who specially prosecuted the cases, were de- lighted with their victory. “I expect that the defendants,” sald the Chief, “will now appear in court in ac- cordance with the stipulation and plead guilty in ail the remaining cases and go out of the business. I consider that the constitutionality of the ordinance has been pracically tested, but if the defen- dants want to test it in the higher court they can refuse to pay the fines and be imprisoned. Then a writ of habeas corpus could be obtained to take the matter be- fore the Supreme Court.

Billy Kelly lost control of his top works in the fourth round with “Indian” Joe Gregg and this lost him the bout. Up to | this stage of the game the fight was fairly | even, but the “Indian” finished at a fast | and was left to straggle in. The referee gave the aborigine the decision. Kid Malone and Frank Neil started the game. Malone's seconds threw a towel | into the ring before the first round was finished and Neil was the winner.

Mr. Gill gave a bond In the sum of $1,500,000, the assets of the institution being valued at half that amount. George Schilling, a stockholder and de- positor, and Robert T. Gill, a_depositor, were the complainants. In their state- ment to the court they say: “While the bank, until a recent period, has done a successful and profitable busi- ness, it has recently incurred heavy losses by the bad faith of its cashier, Theodore S. Wilcox in that, without authority wrongfully, without the knowledge of iis president or board of directors, rmitied Isaac Robinson and the United Milk Pr ducers’ Association to draw from the bank large sums of money and incurred losses | thereby which the bank is unable to bear. | “Rumors affecting the financial condi- | tlon of the bank are in circulation in con- sequence of which large sums of money have been withdrawn by depositors, and | it is a question of but a short time when | the bank will be compelled to close its doors. The bank is unable to plt its lia- | bilitles in the usual course of business, and unless a receiver is appointed it will result in a struggle to keep the doors of | the bank open and depositors will suffer 0ss. The answer, filed by President E. G. Shipley, is as follows: “The bank admits that, by reason of the | facts stated in the bill of complaint, it is no longer able to meet its current obliga- tions, and, belleving that it ought not to further undertake to continue to do busi- | ness but that its assets should be held for the mutual benefit of all persons Interest- ed, it consents to the appointment of a | receiver or recetvers as practiced.” Both the firms mentioned in the bill of complaint are in receivers’ hands. The bank was chartered by special act | of the Legislature in 1868. Its authorized capital was $150,000. The president is E. G. Shipley.
