Dingle is | wanted by the Seattle police for an al- leged defalcation of $3000 while acting as chief clerk for the Seattle and Interna- tional Railway. Dingle served the com- pany in that capacity for about a year. The road, which was owned by the North- ern Pacific, was merged as a division of the main line on April 1, dolng away with @ large number of the local office force.

He had full charge of the issuance of time checks to all em- ployes, the checks being signed in biank | by his superior officer. These Dingle ap- | pears to have issued in large quantities, cashing them himself at local banks and Some With the treasurer of the company. | Dingle’s reputation here was excellent, and he was fully trusted by his employ- ers, his salary having been increased from time to time for excellent service.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, April 13—If the conten- tion of the attorneys for the Los Angeles ‘Water Company are correct, the bond is- sue, voted by a majority of nearly five to one, for the purchase and acquirement of the water plant now in dispute between the corporation and the people has be- come absolutely null and void, the recent | Legislature having at an opportune time ! come to the water company’s assistance. The act which is expected by the watew company’s legal department to thus still further retara mumecipai ownership of wue water plant is entitled Senate bill 124, in- troduced by Senator E. K. Taylor of Ala- | meda to meet a local situation in’ the northern end of the State. So far as the record shows its passage was not op- posed by any of the members of the Los Angeles delegation. « The act in question is said to supersede all other laws governing the issuance of bonds for water purposes or for the ac- quirement of other public utilities, and provides for the authorization of the in- curring of indebtedness by citles, towns and municipal corporations for municipal improvements, regulating their acquisi- tion, construction and completion. | It is contended that under a recent de- | cision of the Superior Court all bond sales are validated where the details have not been completed, if in the meantime the statute bearing upon the subject has been changed in any important particular. The bond issue voted by the people of Los Angeles was for §2,000,000, and this sum, in addition to the interest on the amount and one-fortieth of the principal, has been lying idie in the city treasury for more than two years. The election for the pur- pose was held on August 20, 1598. Judge Noyes is expected to decide ' whether the bonds are legal within the | next six weeks. Trial Trip Postponed. TACOMA, April 13.—The torpedo boat destroyer Goldsborough was taken out for her official trial trip this morning.

SACRAMENTO, April 13—The interest- | ley, Los Angeles: ing feature of the meeting of the State Board of Education this afternoon was the adoption of a resolution suspending the teacher's diploma of S. C. Phipps, as- sistant instructor at the State University, for the term of two years. Phipps was recently appointed to his present position in the university. His offense consisted in having paid $250 to J. M. Chretien, the San Francisco attorney, whose exposure by The Call landed him in the San Quen- tin Penitentiary, for which sum Chretien agreed to obtain for him the position of Deputy Superintendent of Schools in San Francisco. Phipps sent a letter to the State Board of Education, saying that he had known Chretien a long time and supposed he ‘was doing no wrong in paying him money for his assistance in obtaining a position. He pleaded for leniency. Beveral of the members were in favor of suspending Phipps for a period of flve years, but a majority believed this would too severe, and it was finally decided to make the suspension two years. One member said he believed Phipps had been led through ignorance of public matters to make the mistake. In speaking of the plan to buy school beok plates, President Benjamin Ide ‘Wheeler said that the jaws of the power- ful publishers had been pried open and there was a chance now for open compe- tition. The big book concerns had en- deavored to get the textbook business in their grasp, but failed. He offered the form of a letter to be sent to publishers asking for bids on plates of elementary and grammar school histories. The form as suggested was adopted. Before adjournment late this afternoon the board issued the following diplomas: Life diplomas of the high school grade— Walter S. Bailey, San_Diego; W. H. Baker, Fresno; G. H.

EXCITING MEETING HELD BY THE FRUIT GROWERS Many Speekers Denounce the Recent Cut in the Price of Prunes. SAN JOSE, April 13.—The fruit growers of the Stale held an excited meeting in Hale's Hall this afternoon, a number of the speakers hotly denouncing the Cured Fruit Association for having reduced the price of prunes from 3 to 2 cents per pound. Some were in favor of putting the , association into liquidation, while others advocated a continuation of the combine at least until the present surplus stock shall have been disposed of. Judge Bond, president of the assocla- tion, talked for nearly an hour, reviewing the work of the organization from the date of its formation. He said .that not only was the prune market overstocked, but there was the same surplus in the East and abroad in pears, apricots and apples. The Eastern jobbers absolutely refused to handle any tonsiderable quantity of prunes at a rate exceeding a 2-cent basis. Judge Bond announced that the associa- tion had decided to do no more advertis- ing. Already $20,000 has been expended and this sum hardly covers the total re- ceipts for the extra sales in consequence of the advertising. Proposed changes to the laws regulating the election of officers were approved. ————— Horse Thief Captured. SAN RAFAEL, April 13.—A bold thief at Sausalito this morning stole a horse and cart belonging to Dr. Mays.

To-night he was turned over to Sheriff Taylor. ADVERTISEMENTS. IT IS IMPORTANT. To Know What You Are Taking When Using Catarrh Medicines. Catarrh is the short route to consump- tion and the importance of early and judi- cious treatment of catarth, whether locat- ed in the head, throat or bronchial tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized. The list of catarrh ~ures is as long as the moral law and the forms in which they are administered, numerous and con- fusing, from sprays, inhalers, washas, ointments, and salves to powders, liquids and tableis. The tablet form is undcubtedly the most convenient and most effective, but with nearly all advertised catarrh remedies it is almost entirely a:matter of guesswork as to what you are taking into vour sys- tem, as the propristors. while making all sorts of claims as to what their medicines will do, always keep 1t a close secret as to what they are. The-success and popularity of the new catarrh cure, Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, i3 largely becatse it not only cures catarrh but because catarrh sufferérs who use these tablets know what they are taking into their systems. Stuart’s Catarrh Tab- drastin, Gualicol and similar valuable and antiseptic ingredients, and are pleasant to the taste and being dissolved in the mouth they take immediate ffect upon the mu- cous lining of the throat, nasal passages and whole respiratory tract. The cures that Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets have accomplished in old chronic cases of catarrh are little short of remarkable, and .the advantage of knowing what you are putting into your stomach is of para- mount importance when it is remembered that the cocaine or morphine habit has been frequently contracted as the resuit of using secret catarrh remedles. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets meet with cor- dial approval from physicians, becausa their antiseptic character renders them perfectly safe for the general public to use and their composition makes them a common-sense cure for all forms of ca- tarrhal troubles. All druggists sell tbem at 50 cents for full sized packages. EFEREES’ Auction Sale! BUSINESS PROPERTY Cor. 3rd and Mission Sts. Cor. BushEnd- Belden.
