D:. Miles Medical Co,, Elkhart, Ind. % | e AGENT ARRIVES 1000 JUsTIGE Government Takes Steps to Undo Wrong to This State. The United States Departmient of Ag- riculture has sent E. §. Holmes, a special | agent of the department, to California on | @ special mission, an important part of | which s to right an injustice agalnst Cen- | tral and Northern California—all of that part of the State that lies north of Te- hachapi. Mr. Holmes has been in Califor- | nia before and is well acquainted with | many sections of the Pacific Coast. His knowledge of the existing material con ditions undoubtedly led to his being se- lected to come here at this time. The injustice complained of was com- mitted in a pamphlet published by the De- | partment of Agriculture, in which the fol- | lowing statement was officially made: The fruit industry of the Pacific Slope has, | within recent years, grown to enormous pro- portions. This is particularly true of South- ern Califor which has a climate and soil | splencidly adapted to fruit culture. Wrong Inferences Drawn. The inference to be drawn from this is that the remainder of California, north of Tehachapi, is less adapted to fruit grow- ing than is the section south. That would natural'y be inferred by readers unacquainted with the real facts, and t damage is the greater because the pub lication in which the statement was made bears the imprint of the United States Government. Such publications have a wide circulation, going to Kuropean coun- tries and being sent to thousands of farmers and other land owners in the Eastern States, who are naturally influ- enced by what the Government publishes as ascertained facts. When the Secretary of Agriculture was notified of the mischievous averment for which his department was responsible hu took steps to have the real facts set forth. Luckily the State Board of Trade has is- sued a careful review of the output of the products of the entire State annually. In the report for 1%0 Generai N. P. Chipman, president of the State Board of ‘I'rade, set forth the following facts, which refute the imputations of the Government pam- phlet effectually: Northern California Statistics. | ,Of the gresn deciduous fruits shipped out of the State, 5799 carloads went from Northern California’ and but nineteen from Southern California. A like disparity will be seen to exist in favor of Northern California in the | matter cf dried fruit, raisins }guud». There went from the north, of dried | fruit, $i% carloads, and from Southern Cali- fornia : of ralsins there went from the | north 3421 ‘carloads and from the south 161; of | canned goods from the north 4568 carloads, 492 | from the south. To the shipments from the north should be added those appearing in the tables by sea from San Francisco, amounting to 2254 carloads. General Chipman sald of the citrus fruit industry of the south that its mag- nitude could be judged from the fact that it amounted last year to nearly as many carloads as the north sent out of green deciduous fruits, dried fruits and raisins. combined. Figures were also furnished in General Chipman’s report to show that Northern California led the south in shipments of green vegetables, canned vegetables, wine and brandy. “It will be seen,” wrota General Chipman, “that, except as to cit rus fruits, the orchards and vineyards of California are in the north, and that nearly all the cranges and lemons are in the south.” Mr. Holmes called yesterday at the of- fices of the State Board of Trade anl was furnished with statistics by G.

Funeral of Isabella Levy. The remains of Miss Isabella Levy, the eccentric property-owner who deeded to Attorney Reuben H. Lloyd her holdings, estimated to be worth $30,000, were in- terred yesterday in the Home of Peace Cemetery. . Chief among the large num- ber of mourners that followed the. re- mains to thelr last resting place were the tenants of Miss lgvy's thirty houses. General W. H. L. ~Barnes, George B. |- Mackrett, A.

Krachwinkel will take a place within the next two weeks in the affections of the German-Americans of San Francisco not inferior to that occupied by the be- loved towns and cities of the Fatherland. | Kraehwinkel is the magic town now growing in the interior of Turn Verein Hall, at 323 Turk street, to serve the pur- pose of the golden jubilee fair of the San Franciseo Turn Verein. | The fair promises to surpass anything | ¥et attempted in the city. The interior of the hall is being rapidly transformed into a typical old German town, and the rep- resentation will be complete. In what- ever direction the eye may turn there will be seen tile-roofed and dormer-windowed buildings, quaintly clustered and redolent of old country customs. Such great care has been taken that the illusion produced by carpenter and painter and decorator s complete, and there will be no angles and undisguised stairways and gallery rails to mar the artistic ensemble. The fair, in celebration of the fiftietn anniversary of the San Francisco Turn Verein, will open to-morrow night and will continue for nine days. As one enters the hall to the right of the main street is seen the postoffice, with | the royal coat-of-arms emblazoned on its Next to it is the rathaus—the town hall—with courtroom and prison. Citizenship of the Jail. Visitors to the town of Kraehwinkel will be compelled to become citizens, and citizenship papers will be issued, worded in old German. He who refuses to accept citizenship will be incarcerated in the prison. The rathaus has an imposing tow- er_that boasts a real clock. Back of the town hall are the fortune- telling and Turkish booths, illuminated with quaint German lanterns. A flower @ imiivieiinieiodefodeioefimiinl booth occupies the corner on that side next to the stage. A Bingen-on-the-Rhine scene occupies the rear of the stage, while the wings are utilized for an old-fashioned inn on the cne side and wine arbors on the other. To the left of the stage is a furniture booth, next to that a fish pond, in which fish and frogs will disport. A coffee par- lor and an ice cream booth fill out that side of the street. In the rear of. each booth is scenery representing the vista of streets extending into the distance. A shooting gallery will occupy one side of the gallery, and on the other visitors may win prizes by their skill in throwing at the “nigger babies.” In the rear gal- «| lery a band of music will be stationed. The Famous Hoffbrauhaus. At the Turk-street front of the hall, to the right of the entrance, will be one of the most enjoy; 3 res of the fajp—a representation famous Munich Hoffbrauhaus.

Around two sides of the room are repre- sented the grassy banks of the Elbe, the waters of that river and In the distance the buildings fronting upon it. Much care has been taken with details, and the fair in artistic completeness promises to excel even the famous Goethe- Schiller festival, of which the German residents of the city have been so proud. WELL-KENOWN CROOKS LANDED IN PRISON Their Room and Rob Him. Albert McIllwaine, allas Davis, and Daniel Kelly, who are well known to the police, were arrested last night by Ser- geant Christiansen and Police Officers Holmes and Silver and charged with rob- bery. Late Wednesday night they met J. E. Small, a colored man, and after having numerous drinks invited him to a room on Stevenson streét, between Third and Fourth. After entering the room' Small was set upon by the two men and after being severely beaten was robbed of $18. From a description given of the robbers by Small the ésallce arrested Mclllwaine an1d Kelly and charged them with the crime.

They opened the front door with skeleton keys, and when they took their departure locked the premises again. While in the place they secured- about $200 in money and valuables. Vhen Lane awoke yesterday morning he was surprised to find everything in his house in disorder. He soon discovered his loss and realized that a crime had been committéd. Investigatlon showed that every window ard door in the house was locked, but some of the booty, dropped near the front door, gave a clew as to how the thieves entered the place. Within the last two months several small burglaries have been committed on North Beach. In each case the use of skeleton keys has been resorted to. The police believe that the same gang of crooks are responsible for each of the crimes. Christmas Holidays in Mexico.

C., Oct. 24—Surveys of the steamer Hating, which ran on the rocks near Lascuiti Island a wedk ago, were made this morning. Her stem and bulged-in plates show the damage to be considerable and it is estimated it will cost $20,000 to repair her. R R nd ] ADMIRAL SCHLEY BEGINS THE THRILLING STORY OF HIS CAMPAIGN. Continued From Page Three. broadside to the enemy's fleet. Her course was perhaps a little divergent from ours, be- cause the Oregon was attempting to draw up on the Teresa. But the Brooklyn and Oregon maintained this relative position, bow and quarter, approximately to the end of the bat- tle, thé Brooklyn steaming straight ahead as nearly as I could judge, and engaging any and all of the Spanish ships, the Oregon en- deavoring to come to close action with the sternmost one, and when she was driven out of action and pointed to the beach, then pushed on for the next one ahead, and so on until the entire fleet was driven ashore, burn- ing or sinking.”” Signals From the Brooklyn. Raynor—DIid_you get any signals from the Brooklyn on the day of the battle?"’; *Yes, sir.”" “Can you recall what they were?”" “Of my own knowledge and remembrance, the signals that impressed themselvess upon me at the time were: ‘Follow the flag.’ I had this repeated to the vessels following, thinking that they might not see the Brook- lyn and might see us. I remember another sig- nal, ‘Opne of my compartments filled with water.” I recollect it because it perplexed me a little. I was fearful that the Brookiyn might have to haul out of action and run in-shore, and I concluded that it was given to me as a warning in case she did haul out that I would be prepared to look out for the chase alone and not to pay any attention to her and that she would look out for herself. I also remember a_signal because I did not under- stand it at first: ‘The enemy’'s ship appears to have been bullt in Italy,’ to which I told the signal officer to answer: ‘She will end on the coast of Cuba. I also remember a signal: “Congratulations ‘over the grand victory and thanks for your splendid assistance.’ There were other signals made. 1 have seen the list of them, but these are the ones I recollect that made any impression upon me at the time. Of my own recollection, I cannot recall any others,’” ““What distance was it that you were en- gaged in the chase of the Colon after the Vis- caya ran ashore? How many miles do you suppose_the Oregon and Brooklyn ran in the chase of the Colon before she surrendered?” Distance Ships Traversed. “I cannot tell you that. I have heard the ichart has limited the distance to a certain number of miles, and the speed of the ships has_been called In question. I presume fifty or, fitty-five miles.” “Can you tell me with how many ships the Brooklyn was engaged when the smoke lifted and you saw her on her westward course '’ ““She must have been engaged with all four.' “DId you see the turn-ag the Brooklyn?" “‘No, sir. T never saw the Brooklyn until I came out of the smoke. “How did the Brooklyn's fire appear to you at that time?'” - ‘I remember nothing about her fire. I re- lmamher seeing her. It made a deep Impres- sion upon me to find her thers, and I felt that we should mutually support and sustain each other, I felt that a battleship was needed and that we were to be there together.’ “Did you see the commodore on the day of the battle of July 37" “Yes. sir.” ‘Wil you kindly state where and when you saw him?"’ “‘After the New York came up, after the sur- render of the Colon." “‘Was any conversation held between you and the commodore on board the New .York?' ‘A Spanish battleship was reported by Cap- tain Eaton of the Resolute. She had arrived off Santiago and I think he said he had been pursued by her. The admiral did not seem to be impressed by that. He seemed incredulous, but I remarked that it must be Camara's fleet; that they had arrived there to form a con- Junction "with Cervera’s fleet, but they had arrived too lote. The admiral did not assent. Finally, he sald: ‘Well, Clark, you will have to go after that shi d believing as I did that there was a really Spanish vessel there, I said: ‘Admiral, In war we ought to overpower an enemy if possible, Why could not the Brooklyn go_ along?” ““He turned and said: ‘Certalnly, Schley, you £0 also,’ I then felt that I had perhaps as- sumed too much in speaking to an admiral, and suggesting that a commodore also accom- pany me. I turned to the commodore and said: ‘Commodore, we have knocked out several ves- sels this morning. We can knock out another, can't we? He sald: ‘Certainly we can. Come on.’ He. then started over the side and I rted after him for my boat on the other side, t impressed me was his cheery manner of proving of my having mentioned his going and that he had no feeling against me for mentioning it as a senlor and was rather ap- proving in his manner.” Clark Cross-Examined. Captain Clark's examination in chief occu- pled fifteen minutes and at ten minutes of 1 o'clock Hanna began the cross-examination. “Did you,”” he asked, ‘‘see the Iowa during the early portion of the engagement?’ “Yes,” replied the witness. *T standing in toward the entrance of the harbor and her position was a little to westward of the Oregon. At first she seemed to be steaming faster than we were, and I thought she was gaining ground and would get In ahead of us. Then the smoke became so dense that I lost sight of her, but I could see the Spanish ships as they came out. Later I saw her again so near that I was fearful that the two ships would_collide. Consequently, I gave the or- der, ‘Hard to starboard,’ and cleared her. T never saw the Iowa again during the action.” Responding to a request from Hanna, Cap- tain Clark described the manner in which the Spanish ships came out of the harbor. In response to another question he sald that the order under which he closed In was a standing order, as was the order to attack at once in case the enemy appeared. “T remember,’” he said. “that T had a feel- ing of satisfaction at that time that there was a standing order to close in because of a pos- -||fll:fv accldent in executing that move- hento” < The witness also sald, In response to another question from Hanna, that while he had seen the Texas, he had not noticed which way she was_heading, as It was his especial concern to clear her. Speaking of the ranges used during the en- gagement he sald that they changed so rapidly he could not undertake to give them, and he at last told the officers to decide the range for themselves. . Captain Clark was also questioned regarding his statement in chief that the Brooklyn had at one time during the engagement engaged four different vessels and confirmed his pre- vious testimony, saying that she was along- side all four of the enemy’s ships, and in re- sponse to a question from Hanna as to whether there were not other American vessels engaged at the same time he replied: “The Oregon was firing as fast as she could ‘with her bow guns.” Proceeding he said that for some time after the Viscaya went ashore, and when the Colon only was left of the enemy’s ships, the Oregon did not fire, and when she did resume the work only the 13-inch guns were used, with the exception of one or two shots from the 8- inch guns in the forward turret. “Did you fire the 13-inch guns in pursuance of @ signal from the Brooklyn?’ Hanna asked, and the witness replied: “‘No, the 13-inch guns were fired after a con- ference with officers on board the Oregon. I had feared damage to the gun mechanism and hesitated to use the guns, but decided to do s0. If any signal was made from the Brook. Iyn I did not see it and it was not reported to me."”" Captain Clark resumed the witness stand after, the luncheon recess. As he took his seat Admlral Dewey remarked to those near him: “It is the best house yet.”” Captain Lemly announced that he had no further question: Raynor asked: ‘‘Were any of the Spanish vessels run ashore or destroved In the chan. nel as provided in the standing squadron or- ders to close in and destroy the enemy in the channel ?’ ¢ *No, sir. “Was the battle of July 8 completed in ac- cordance with any squadron orders previously issued “No, sir.” “Do’ you know anything about a signal to close up and follow flag made by Commodore Schley from the Brooklyn?’ “1 remember a signal ‘Follow flag’ being made because I ordered it repeated. We did close up. 3 The court asked Captain Clark the follow- ing_questions: “Did any of the enemy’s ships indicate an intention of ramming our ships during the early part of ‘the battle?"’ “Not that I know of. I saw nothing of it.” “Did you at any time receive an order front efther the Nayy Department or the commandar in. chief of the North Atlantic squadron not to expose the Oregon to the fire of the land Cogtata Clirk was excused and Rear Ad mln’i Schley was called to the stand at 2:06 P m. % ol Burglars entered the residence of D.

At 10:30 on Wednesday night H. F. Stone, night watchman for the Simpson Lumber Company, found the clothes on the end of the Powell-street wharf. Stone stated yesterday that he had seen no one around the wharf and could throw no light on the mysterious find. The cloth- ing consisted of a light brown top coat, a dark blue serge sack coat, a black Fe- dora hat and a pair of black lace boots. In the pocket of the sack coat was a small red leather memorandum book. The names, “‘Gus Erickson, Arlington Hotel, Bakersfleld,” and “Bert Tibbitts,” were written in pencil on one page and on another was written “Mr. W. E. Burke, please give the key to Joe; he has bought the house, and oblige Rowe and Russell.” On a torn page of the book was written “Antoine Cook, Asphaltum, Cala.; Georg Wyley, Decota; 243 Third street, 1139 Fol- som street.” On the fly leaf of the book the address “J. P. Rowe, Piute, Cala,” was faintly written in pencil and the same name ap- peared on the other fly leaf. On the top of the clothing was found a plece of a silk handkerchief with the let- ter “R” embroidered on it. Absolutely nothing else was found in the clothing to give a clew as to the iden- tity of the owner. Inquiries made ‘at the clty addresses found in the memorandum book showed that no one was known at those places who dressed in the manner indicated by the clothing found on the whart. It is thought from tne fact that the name *J. P. Rowe” appears on each fly leaf of the memorandum book found in the overcoat and also that the piece of a silk handkerchief found in the clothing bore the initial “R.” that Rowe was the name of the owner of the clothing. Inquiries made by telegraph in Bakers- field last night show that Gus Erickson was formerly clerk of the Arlington Ho- tel and is now keeping a cigar store. Tib- bits was located as a watchman for the Kern County Land Company. BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 24.—G. Erickson, when seen to-night, said that he knew J. P. Rowe in this city between three and four years ago. Rowe was at that time superintendent of the asphalt works at Asphalto, near Sunset. Erickson said that Rowe was a single man of good habits, to the best of his knowledge. He was in poor health and frequently com- plained of his physical condition, although appearing to be a man of robust con- stitution. Rowe while in this city on a visit would stop at the Arlington Hotel, at which place Erickson was then a clerk. Erickson stated that while he was well acquainted with Rowe, he knew nothing of any trouble which would lead him to commit suicide unless it might be his poor health.

L i o e — HERE was a large attendance at the social and entertainment given last evening in Native Sons’ Hall for the benefit of Holy Cross Church. The programme present- ed was unusually good and was greatly appreciated by the audience. The evening’s entertainment opened with an overture by the First California Regiment orchestra. This was followed by an-excellently rendered violin solo by Hugo Poheim. “Billy"” Hynes was in his element in songs and witticisms, and his clever work was heartily applauded. A serenade by the pupils of Professor Rit- zau was a feature of the evening. Miss Mary G. Welch played the cornet, Miss Grace M. Weich the “cello, Alma R. Welch the first violin, Miss Ritzau the flute and Miss J. Grass the piano. Leo Cooper re- cited a number of poems and scored a hit. A comic opera, entitled the ‘‘Specter Knight,” by Alfred Cellier, was then pre- sented by well-known amateur singers of this city. The cast was made up as fol- laws: Grand Duke, A. F. Schleicher; Lord Cham- berlain, E. M, Moore; Otho, another Grand Duke, and Specter Knight, Harry Wood Brown; First Lady In Waiting, Miss E. Rutherford Second Lady in Waiting, Mrs. Emily Parent: Viola, Mrs. Alvina Heuer Wilson. Ghosts, pages, etc. Scene—A Haunted Glen. The scenery and costuming were re- markably good. The singers were in good voice and were heard to advantage in the various melodies of the opera. Daneing followed until midnight. James Laydon proved a capable floor manager. Frank J. Kennedy was his assistant. E. J. MURRAY OF ALAMEDA IS CLAIMED BY DEATH Well-Known Mining Superintendent Succumbs to Pneumonia and Heart Failure. The death last Tuesday evening of E. J. Murray, the well-known mining super- intendent, will be keenly regretted by a *k | large circle of friends, both in this coun- B e e R R S S Y try and abroad. Mr. Murray died at his home in Alameda, death being due to pneumonia and heart failure. The deceased was a native of Siskiyou County. His father was a ploneer and came to this State in 1343. Mr. Murray was born on July 27, 185, and was_edu- cated in the public schools and at Santa Clara College. He passed through the stirring times of the “Bonanza” in Nevada and was super- intendent of various large mines in that State and in California. Eleven years ago he was sent by a London syndicate to South Africa to take charge of vast in- terests, and when he decided to return to California_he was tendered a banquet by the American and English residents of Johannesburg. On returning to this coast he resumed the management of a mine in Mexico, but early this year was forced by 1Il_health to give up active work. The deceased is survived by a widow and-three ghildren. The funeral will take place to-day in Alameda under the direc- tion of the Masonic order. ——— e NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hair, No Matter What Color. The finest contour of a female face, the sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses something if the head is crowned with scant hair.
