The suit filed yesterday is an outgrowth of former litigation. The complaint in the | first suit alleged that the death of Lillian | | Devoto wa ) was due to the criminal neglect and willful carelessness of Dr. Perrone. Although the case was dismissed on the motion of the plaintiffs Dr. Perrone claims that reputation has been damaged to nt of the sum named in his eom- plaint.

No farmer, they say, can af-" ford to see the whole crop of a year | i destroyed, as is now threatened by & | 1ot of irresponsible strike leaders.” Thus spoke Will S. Green, president of | the Sacramento Valley Development As- sociation, to a number of the largest | farmers of the State on his arrival from San Francisco to-night. And Grecn's1 words were commended by every one present, many of whom after years o toil find it impossible to get their grain | to tidewater and see financial ruin staring | them in the face | | One of the most important conferences | } of the grain growers of California will be held in the courthouse here at 1:3) o’clock to-morrow. Means will then be taken to put an end to the blockade at Port Costa and elsewhere. The meeting was called | | at the instance of the Sacramento Val- ley Development Association, and an in- | vitation has been extended the San Joa- quin_Valley Commercial Association, of | which Hon. C. 8. Smith of Kern County is president. Telegrams from Senator Smith indicate 2 large attendance. So far the extreme northern portions of the Sacramento Valley are represented. The remainder will arrive on the morning trains. Those here farm an immense acre- age, more than 300,000 acres being already represented. State Must Give Protection. | It is proposed, as far as the details had been worked out up to midnight, to have Will S. Green call the meeting to order E. Wright, secretary of the Sacramento Valley Association, will have the arrange- and select Senator Smith as chairman. F. ments of the details Jn hand. BANKS OF CALIFORNIA | IN PROSPEROUS CONDITION Reports Show Unparalleled Increase in Assets and Deposits During the Last Year. Reports as to the financjal condition of the 299 State, private and national banks of California received by the Board ot | Bank Commissioners yesterday show a | prosperity which has never been equaled in the history of the State. The net gain in assets during the last vear is $43,621, 59608 and in deposits $33,350,739 46. The statement as to resources and lia- bilities is as follows: Resources—Bank_premises, $7.440,415 41; other real estate, $18,137,824 55; stocks and bonds, $93,609,255 06: loans on real estate, $107,868,212 7 loans on stocks, bonds and warrants, $32,542, 335 82; loans on other securities, $8,960,009 63: loans' on personal securities, ' $78,080,510 24; ! morey on hand, $31,406,736 62; due from banks and barkers, $45,431,744 78; other assets, $5,496,- 783 18; total resources, $428,923 881 09.

FARMERS DEMAND THAT STATE ACT TO PUT AN END TO GRAIN BLOCKADE Sacramento Wheat-Growers'- Convention Will Ask Governor to Send Militia to Port Costa and Give Warning That if He Refuses the Request They| Will Themselves Go There With Rifles to Protect Shipping of Crops g voked to grevent loss to the farmer, and, through the farmer, to the State? “If the farmer cannot market, his grain how is he to pay his taxes?” is a question each one is asking. The answer invariably comes, “Let the State furnish the neces- sary protection, no matter what shape it may take, or we will have to furnish the protection for ourselves.” A. Hochheimer of Hochheimer Bros. of Willows came up from San Francisco to- night and his report on the conditions in the metropolis only made the farmers more determined upon the one course that seems possible at the present time. “The price of handling grain in Port Costa has already been increased 20 per cent,”” he sald. “The farmers have to stand this advance. Besides, the work is progressing slowl Along the banks of the river grain is piled up and millions | of sacks are awaiting transportation. If | we should ship a part of it now the barges would be tied up at the Port Costa docks, as the men there can move only a limited quantity at a time and the rest would have to run the chances of rain. Contra | Costa County has no fund wherewith !o‘ pay deputy sheriffs, and although a num- ber are paid by the big grain shippers they are inadecuate to afford sufficient protection. There are plenty of men in the fields who would go there and load and unload the grain if they were afford- | ed sufficient protection.” Plans for a Combine. Another subject that is of great con- cern is the weather. A continuance of the present dry spell till the first of Octo- ber, coupled with the determination of the farmers, would materially relieve the blockade, but this is a contingency that none cares to rest upon. Yet another proposition that will be given_consideration is the formation of a farmers’ exchange, by which the three grades of marketable grain can be ex- peditiously handled. Speaking of this project President Green said: “The conditions in the valleys are such that a permarent organization of farmers is necessitated, with powers to handle conditions as they arise. The present price of grain, taking into consideration interest on the investment, wear and tear of machinery, etc., has now reached a point below the cost of production for the average farmer. It is entirely impossible | to change the products of a county in one year or in a decade; hence the necessity has arisen for the farmer to see if some- thing cannot be done to bolster up the industry.
