Better Service Is Necessary to- Insure Profit on Shipments. A decided stand was taken yesterday | by the Fruit Growers’ Convention agai; the practice of the railroad confining the refrigerator business to pri- vate parties or corporations. A practical monopoly of this lirie of business now ex- ists and, according to the statements made on the floor of the convention, fryit grower is subjected to the most un- Jjust and exorbitant charges. The matter came up during the morn- ing session when the report of the perma- nent committee on transportation was taken up for discussion. R. of Sacramento, chairman of the commit- tee, and who has borne the brunt of the t fight for lower rates and better service on behalf of the fruit growers of the State, spoke to his motion, asking “the | adoption of the report. After explaining in detail the work of | the committee, he said in part: The redyction of time is one of the most important factors, because as much good can come from that to the fruit-grower as from any other thing. We must impress upon the stern markets in better condition than in past it cannot be distributed. The im- mense profits from refrigeration have per- mitted those interested to virtually control not | distribution but the values of fruit | only the to a greater or less degree. All the growers of California ask is to be placed on an equal- ity, one with the other. The fact that the past son has been comparatively prosperous dangerous from the fact t we might re- main dormant and not make any protest to | the railways against renewing contracts with the refrigerating companies who had an abso- | lute monopoly of refrigeration. The slogan raised against Mr. Earl that he not only had controlled refrigeration, but that he had a freight interest in transfer- ring and selling fruit. We want the railroad companies to put on refrigerating s they are doing in Washington and The growers are not charged one cent for frigeration from those States. Their fruit are sent to markets in competition with ours. It would be wrong for this convention to ad- taking positive action in this matter. situation. The companies realize that as a se the demands nmittee’s report in the transportation cc cting to the railway companies renewing or entering into contracts with Earl or Armour or any other line; that we are opposed to the private own: frigerator car lines; way companies to carry made with the growers as and control of re- we want the rail- out their contracts May memorial limiting the transit of decidu- | ous fruits to six days to Chicago and nine ew York, and that the railway com their refrigerating cars as does the orthern Railway. Edwin F. Adams of Santa Cruz second- ed the motion. W. H. Aiken of Santa Cruz, speaking to the question of time in transit, said true, but that care in packing for E: ern markets was also essential. He re- lated incidents of a recent visit to New York and the methods of handling fruit n the auction hous saying that the oss to poor packers in the lots he saw s considerable. 1t is nice to meet here annually,” said E. Berwick, “and pass resolutions and tbrow bouquets at the railroad companies. If they promise to deliver fruit in New York in nine da let them do it, but Gon’t let them always make the poor fruit swer their scapegoat.” N. Judd of Watsonville, an exten- sive shipper of apples, told of his expe- riences gained during a recent through Oregon, and explained the differ- erces in freight rates. He said in part: I found that every point was a terminal i It i | point, and at points where they were paying sixty’ cents to Missouri River points and sev- enty-five cents farther east per hundred pounds on apj 1 found from similarly lo- 5.

Their prunes are competing with ours and what they lack in sweetness they make up in size. When I told them I was from California they chuckled at the differences among the Santa Clara growers, and said, “You are making a market for our prunes right along.” These people are able to ship apples ove, two long mountain ranges cheap- er than we can from Watsonville. The report was adopted. As two of the NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. THE HAIR BRUSH Breeds Dandruff, Which Causes Fall- ing Hair and Finally Baldness. Prof. Unna, Hamburg, Germany, European authority on skin diseases, says that dandruff is as contagious as any other malevolent disease, and that one common source of the spread of dandruff is the use of the same hair brush by different persons. The way to b tavoid catching dandruff or any other dis- ease from another’s brush, is to insist on the use of Newbro's Herpicide. It not only kills the dandruff germ, but it is also an antiseptic that will prevent the catching of any disease whatever through contagion of another's brush. AMUSEMENTS.

Rowley. H. P. Stabler in his paper, “‘County Horticultural Boards and What They Have Accomplished,” which was read by Secretary John Isaacs, said that there were boards in twenty-nine of the coun ties of the State, and that they were con- tinvally working to exterminate fruit pests and diseases and enforcing quaran- tine laws. J. W, Nelson's paper on “The Fruit Grower and His Work” was also read by Secretary Isaacs. He said the fruit industry at present brought to the State $40,000,000 annually, and soon would reach $100,000,000. An_interesting history of fruit pests, parasites and insect life was read by Ed- ward M. Ehrhorh. The paper showed a deep research and close acquaintance with the habits, habitats and enemies of the bane of the orchardist. Professor C. W. Woodworth of the de- partment of entomology of the Univer- sity of California gave a history of the lecture by a series of charts, “Food Adulteration,” by Professor M. E.

He sald such a plan had been followed in many Bastern States and was productive of much good. He devoted considerable attention to the use of preservatives and explained their ac- tion on the human stomach. Alexander Craw’s paper dealt with “What California Has Done for Agrioul- ture.” He gave a history of the efforts to exterminate insects and enforce quar- antine laws. W. 0. Emerson closed the programme by an entertaining essay on birds in their relation to horticulture and agriculture. The final business of the session was he passage of votes of thanks to the tate Board of Horticulture for the e: cellent programme presented, to the pre: for its reports, to Chalrman Cooper and Vice Chairman Wickson for their fair- ness and courtesy and to B.

Two bullets had entered the back, pass- ing through the body, tie third through the left leg and the fourth tore away the thumb of the right hand. Fifteen minutes after being taken to the hospital Wong Get was dead. The police believe that the shooting was the outcome of the bitter feud that exist between the Wong and Chin famili Since the two families declared —wa against each other several of their num- ber have been murdered and as many more have been shot and wounded. Shooting of Little Lou. The shooting of Little Lou and his body- guard as they were entering a gambling house on Waverly place a few nights ago intensified the bitterness between the two families. Lou was a member of the Bing Kong Tong, but his sympathies were with the Wong family. - His father was foully murdered while standing in the doorway of his store some years ago and as it was supposed that the assassin was a Chin man Lou swore he would have revenge. It is krown that on many occasions he pro- tected the members of the Wong family against the assassins hired to slay them, and as the result a price was placed on his head. Learning that they were after him, Lou never left his home ‘witheut his bodyguard. = After he was shot about twenty gun fighters were brought from the interior and ordered to avenge the shooting of the noted gambler. Before they had a-ecaance to_earn the | binder for weapons, blood money that had been offered the police got on the trail and rounded up the entire gang. Little Lou is still in the hos- pital, but he expects to leave there in a few days. He threatens to make it liveiy for his enemies after he recovers. More Trouble Expected. In anticipation of more bloodshed, Chief Wittman has “increased his forces in Chinatown.

Last night the Chinese Consul met with a number of the prominent members of the two families and endeavored to bring about a reconciliation. After advising them to peaceably settle their trouble, but without getting much encouragement, he dismissed them after warning them against further bloodshed. Last night the police found another boy who was a witness to the murder. His name is Brnest Olsen and he lives at 614 Kearny street. He was within a few feet of Wong Get when he was shot and killed. Olsen is positive that Yee Loon, who is under arrest, fired the fatal shots. He says the murderer was accompanied by another Chinaman who threw away a long Colt's revolver immediately after the last shot was fired. His revolver and the one that was used in the assassination of Wong Get are in the possession of the police. Chinese Stabbed by Roommate. Wong Lee and Wong Bon, who live at 15 Waverley place, quarreled about § o'clock yesterday morning about the pay- ment of rent. Wong Bon_stabbed Wong Lee on the right arm. Wong Lee was sent to the Receiving Hospital and Wong Bon was locked up in the City Prison and will be charged with assauit to murder. COPYRIGHT 1300 BY THE PRQCTER & GAMBLE CO.

The Declar- ation of Independence was the new revelation, a new definition of rights, a new commentary of_liberty. There is still a difference between toleration and a right. I thank you for your tolerance, but I want none of it. Tolerance means conde- scension, right stands for a‘very different thing. There are but two countries—the United States and France—where liberty of worship is recog- nized as a right. In all others it is merely a privilege exercised by the tolerance of a state He said, in church. It s so in England, in Scot- land, in Ireland, in Germany and even in that sturdy champion of liberty, Hol- | 1and. The difference is constitutional—whether the right to weorship as one chooses is recog- nized or on the other hand a religion may ex- ist only by the tolerance of a state church, however surrounded by safeguards this toler- ation may be, Even in the United States we do not fully realize what liberty of worship means. We must learn that all religion is divine though its interpretation may not be. We must disei- pline ourselves to the idea that religions are indeed sisters. There is no greater evil in modern times than intolerance and the church does not exist that has not yet to teach its | ehildren reverence for all religions as .all com- ing from the mind of God. That, we hope, is the degree of liberty to which the people of the United States will become educated.

Two sessions were held. The afternoon meeting was adjourned an hour earlier in order that the committees which were an- nounced by President Gompers could or- ganize and take up the work that has been laid out for them. The overshadowing feature of the day was the able address of Edward F. Mec- Shweeney, deputy commissioner of im- migration at the port of New York, on the subject of immigration. He spoke for more than an hour and was generously applauded for the great amount of in- formation that he gave the delegates. During the course of the two sessions eighty-eight resolutions were presented and referred to committees. They cover nearly every variety of subject that af- fects workmen. Ome of them contained a denunciation of Wu Ting Fang, the Chi- nese Minister, for an alleged derogatory remark against the American people, and another also contained “the sineers and _hearty thanks of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor” for President Roosevelt for the position he took on the subject of Chinese exclusion. The committee on resolutions made an- other report on contested seats at the afternoon session and their recommenda~ tions were accepted except in one in- stance. Among the more important reso- lutions presented at the afternoon sessions were these: Denouncing Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Min. ister, for having made the alleged remari that when the American people “are biased they are beyond argument and reason does not ape peal to them.” Asking workmen to unite for independent po- litical action in a party having for its avowed object the overthrow of the capitalistic system of production and distribution and the estab- lishment of a co-operative commonwealth. Asking Congress to amend the Geary act so as to exclude Chinese, Japanese, Maiays and all people of Asiatic extraction and to preve the use of the American Pacific island posses sions as a bridge over which excluded races may pass to the United States. Denouncing anti-scalping legislation, because the ticket brokerage business is legitimate, a convenience to the public and a means of cheapening such travel.
