Attorney General Declares in Favor of State’s Or- chardists. t Attorney General Ford, in reply to the questions of J. J.

This power is based in | part upon the old and well-known principle that private right is and always must be sub- | servient to the public good. In exercising the pewer thus inherently belonging to the sov- ereign, the State of California may, where it becomes necessary, take, use or destroy the private property of individuals to prevent the wpending_calamity, as, for instance, to stop spreading of fite, to stay the ravages of & pestilence, to arrest the advance of a hostile army or to prevent any other great public calamity.

I find no statutory authority which would warrant your board in taking any of the sug- gested steps to arrest the threatened calamity %o which you refer, such as the burning of pesture lands and the like, nor do I find the Statute of this State conferring uvon any officer, specifically, the powers herein dis- 4. It follows, therefore, that this powcr ie State can alone be exercised by its hief Executive, in whom, under the provis- | fops of State constitution, is vested the | supreme exccutive power of the State. LOS ANGELES, June 17.—Governor Gage said to-night in regard to a tele- gram sent to him by Chairman Dillman of the Sacramento Board of Supervisors, con- veying the opinion of Attorney General Ford on the subject of burning pasture lands in El Dorado and Placer counties: “I have wired to Sacramento asking to more definite information as to the situa- tion in Placer and El Dorado counties, | where it is sald grasshoppers have becom & pest. Until I am informed as to the act situation, I cannot say what steps will be taken in regard to the request to use | the authority vested in me to order the | burning of pasture lands in thosé coun- | | ttes. I shall probably be advised to-mor- | | row, when whatever action is necessary will’ be taken. { | PLAGUE IS SPREADING. | i [ | { | | | | | Santa Barbara Suffering From the Grasshopper Pest. BERKELEY, June 17.—Professor E. W. Hilgard, dean of the College of Agricui- ture at the University of California, re- ceived an appeal for aid from Santa Bar- | bara to-day against the grasshopper pest. Tkis is the first indication that the army of hoppers has moved away from the foothill region of the interior, and is taken | by Professor Hilgard as significant of the fact that the plague which has heretofore been confined to one or two districts will prebably become general throughout the agricultural districts of the State. Professor Hilgard takes a serious view of the spread of the pest. He said: “The message which we received from Sarta Barbara this morning shows that a new quarter is affected by the grasshop- would soon be all stricts of the State. We hear that at Exeter, in Tulare Cour: ty, they have the pest under control, but n’ Placer, El Dorado and Sacramento ccunties the measures taken for the sup- | pression of the insects are entirely inade- | quate and they are on the increase.” | ATTEMPTS TO PASS RAISED BANK DRAFT Gustav Sauir, wiio claims he belongs to the Seventh Infantry, was arrested yes- terday by Detective Reynolds and Polic man Collins and locked up in “the tanks pending an investigation. He visited a money broker on Kearny street, near Sac- ramento, and asked to have a draft for| $9%0, drawn on the First National Bank of Portland, cashed. The broker was sus- picious of the draft and notified the police. An examination showed that the draft had originally been for $10 and had been clumsily rais to $30. Across the draf! the words, ot over ninety dollars, were stamped, but it could be seen that the original stamp was “Not over ten dollars.” When searched at the City Prison an- other draft, raised from $10 to $30, one from $10 to $50 and a genuine draft for $25, all dated April 5 last, were found in his possession. | i | | i KEMP’S SUPPOSITORIES. “Nothing like it.

Only a woman who suf- fers with the disor- ders peculiar to her sex and is advised " to undergo such a dreadful ordeal can understand the fear associated with it. In order to effect cure the cause must first be re- moved. ~When in- s flammation, conges- tion, etc., exist, naturally the organs are In an enlarged, swollen condition, and the increased welght drags them down. Common-sense should teach any one that all the instruments in the world cannot heal or reduce soreness and weakness. but only aggravate the trouble. When inflammation has assumed a chronic form the organs can never relax to a norma condition until the e {s removed. There- fure, nothing but a mild remedy Is required to heal the sensitive parts. Kemp's Suppositories never fall in all such cases. repair the wasted tissues and strengthen the organs gen- erally, and until this is_effected no woman can hepe to be well.

The State Convention of the Allied Peo- ple’s party was called to order yesterday at 10:50 a. m. in Memorial Hall, Odd Fel- lows’ building, by George W. Monteith, chairman of the State Executive Com- mittee. Mr. Monteith welcomed the delegates and on behalf of the committee presented the name of Dr. C. H. Castle as tempo- rary chairman. Dr. Castle was elected, and G. W. Smith was elected temporary secretary. A committee on credentials was then chosen, which in its turn elected a com- mittee on platform and resolutions, com- pesed of twelve members. During the morning the committee on permanent organization was chosen, as follows: C. J. Gardner, Nathan E. Flint, M. P. Squire, John Hines and Charles E. Lloyd. The morning session adjourned at o'clock and the committee on platform and resolutions went into session. The afternoon. session opened with the adoption of the report of the committee on permanent organization. This com- mittee recommended that the name of the party be “The Industrial Federation.” The ‘temporary officers were made perm nent and J. K. Phillips was elected treas- urer by acclamation and F. J. Gregory sergeant at arms. So far everything had moved smoothly, but trouble came. The committee on plat- form and resolutions elected by the com- mittee on credentials could not come to any agreement and stood 6 to 6. SOCIALISTS INTERRUPT. It was then seen clearly that the social- ists were attempting to block proceedings and swallow the convention, and after three hours of heated debate, with innu- merable interruptions, a motion was at last carried to accept the report of the committee on credentials and then dis- charge the committee. A motion was made and carried that a new committee on_credentials, composed of W. J. Gilstrap, M. P. Squire and J. L. Riddell, be appointed. A motion to strike from the roll the name of any person who was pledged to the Socialist, Democratic or Republican parties was carried by a vote of 29 to 9. _The report of the committee on creden- tials was adopted and the chair was em- powered to fill the vacancies on the com- mittee on platform and resolutions. An amendment was carried that the commit- | tee should consist of seven members in- stead of twelve, which were chosen as follows: George W. Monteith, F. B. Brown, W. H. Gilstrap, W. G. Murphy, D. T. Fowler, W. H. Buckley and J. K. Riddell. The committee then went into executive session and the convention ad- journed at p. m. LIST OF DELEGATES.

In fact there would not have been any unpleasantness if J. G. Smith of Alameda County had not_tried to wedge in a sub- stitute for the first section of the report of the Committee on Platform and Reso- Jutions. While it caused some delay, the report as read by the chairman of the commit- tee, D. T. Fowler, was eventually adop- ted as a whole and was as follows: The Industrial Federation party, now in con- vention assembled, calls upon the. people of Californla to join one supreme and resistless eifort to rescue the State j’om the clutches of monopoly and bossism, to] stamp out corrup- tion in its government and to upb State, to accomplish the end we deman: CHAIRMAN READS REPORT. First—The enactment of a constitutional amendment giving to the people of California an_effective system of direct legislation. Second—A constitutional amendment abro- gating the iaws and provisions of the consti- tution authorizing and permitting any fur- ther extension of the private ownership of any of public utilities of the State or of its counties or municipalities and making full and adequate provision for the acquisition, ownership, control and operation by the State and its counties and municipalities of all the publ utilities thereof. Third—A constitutional amendment making provision for the free, due and speedy admin- istration of justice In courts, into which the people, rich and voor alike, may freely enter and have their cases heard,and determined without the prepayment of cdsts of any kind, also prohibiting the use of injunctions and other summary process In matters affecting the relation of employer and emvloye. Fourth—That as no enduring prosperity can come to the agricultural districts of the State without the complete utilization of the frri- gation waters of the mountains, we demand their ownership and distribution by the State, and further, that the State establish a land system under the ‘‘New Zealand plan,” that congestion of population in the citles may be relieved and easy access to farms be accom- plished; and further, that street co-operativc laws be enacted, glving producers the means of uniting for the more equitable distribution of the vroducts of factory and fleld, all for the upbuilding of the State.

She alleges that Nicho- las Thill is so addicted to the use of in- toxicants that to continue living with him as his wife is more than she can bear. According to her complaint he commenced drinking heavily a short time after their marriage at Oakland in March, 1901, with the result that he is unable to attend to business and earn enough for their joint support. ‘Thill, alleges his wife, has beaten her frequently when in his cups. She asks for a divorce and permission to resume her maiden name. Charles S. Baillie is suing Cynthia A. Baillie for divorce on the ground of de- sertion. IHe alleges that she left him in January, 1901, nine years after their mar- riage. Failure to provide is the ground for a suit for divorce brought yesterday by Evelyn Joseph against Joseph Joseph. Mrs. Joseph alleges that for more than a year she has had to sustain herself. They were married in April, 1899. May Ford, who was married to H. R.

GONTRACT LABOR FROM HONOLULU Japanese Coolies May Come Here Without Hindrance. Much amusement was created in the United States Immigration Bureau over an editorial in the morning issue of a daily paper calling attention to the fact that Japanese laborers under contract to work in California were arriving and pre- raring to arrive at this port from Ha- walian Territory. The editorial sfates: All of these coolles are coming under con- tract in violation of the Immigration laws which strictly forbid the admission of contract laborers. If these people are allowed to en- ter it will be through some subterfuge devised and adopted for the evasion of the immigration laws. Deputy Tmmigrant Commissioner Schell, in speaking of the matter yesterday, sald: These people will be allowed to enter. More than that, thelr right to enter cannot be ques- tioned. We have no right to examine or in- terfere with them at all, no more than we have to examine white persons coming from Missouri or Oregon under contract to labor in California. Hawail is a part of the United States, and we do not board steamers coming from Honolulu or Seattle. We might as well interfere with Sac- ramento Valley farmers contracting with labor- ers in San Francisco. Captain Schell explained further that there is a popular misconception regard- ing Japanese immigrants. The truth is that the Japanese immigrant stands on the same footing as Irish, French, Ger- man or English immigrants, and there is no exclusion law against them. There is no law prohibiting the contract- ing of laborers within the United States, nd Hawaii being a part of the United ates, is considered as a coastwise do- mestic port; therefore there is nothing to kinder the entire Japanese papulation of the islands from coming to this country under labor contracts. 1t is a peculiar fact that for the past £ix years many more Chinese have heen landed at this port than Japanese, not- withstanding that there is an exclusion law against Chinese and none against Japanese.

Assoclation opened its sixth annual con- vention yesterday in the maple room of the Palace Hotel. Dr. Charles Van Nor- den of the Central California Electric Company and president of the association, after bidding the delegates welcome, de- livered his annual address, in which he from that time the cataract of the neigh- borhood would in no short period furnish light and power to nearby villages, none nearer than nine miles. He then dis- cussed several problems which he con- sidered of vast importance. Dr. Van Norden said in part: The risk from labor troubles is not the of the factors in our equation. Linemen station keepers have us at their mercy more so than motormen and conductors havi a city railroad. Already the linemen have struck for the eight hour day and three dol- lar wage. Success may breed and encourage larger demands. Allied to the growing mena of organized labor is the seething of the com- munistic tendencies of the times. . Foremost among the schemes urged ‘is that of municipal ownership of public utilities. This we need not fear, since municipalities need our cheap power. Tor us a far more dangerous agitation is that which now proposes State appropria- tion of all water rights. The scheme advocated makes -the appropriation little less than sheer confiscation. Indeed the movement is simply an organization for publc robbery on a large scale. ~ The agitation is being vigorously pushed in the name of progress, and the masses are easily blinded as to their dutles toward vested rights and are often misiead Into extrava- gances. " During the afternoon session the follow- ing papers were read: “The Economy of FElectric Power in Quartz Mining,” by C. O. Poole; *‘The Application of Electric Power in the Comstock Lode,'" by Leon Hall, and read by George P. Low, “Electri¢ Pumping From a 1300 foot Level by Dcnald H, Fry. In the evening the delegates listened to studious and eminently scientific papers and also enjoyed stereopticon views pre. sented by Professor Alexander McAdie. The professor announced that two weeks ago last Sunday this city did itself proud inasmuch as it beat all known records in the velocity of the wind. On that day the wind blew at a rate not less than 125 miles an hour at Point Lobos, which was a much higher velocity than attained at Galveston at the time of the memorable disaster. ‘“‘So as a windy city,” said Pro- fessor McAdie, n _Francisco passes Chicago or Boston.' His paper was en- titled *‘Cloud Versus Coal.”” . J. Bowie Jr. read a paper entitled “Wells In Large Ranges.” “The Hy- draulic End of Power Transmissions" was the title of a paper by John S. East- wood. E. J. de Sabla Jr. was elected president for the ensuing vear: H. H. Noble of the Keswick Electric Power Company vice president; Willfam Angus of the Subur- ban Elcctric Company, Oakland, was re- elected treasurer, and George P. Low of the Journal of Electricity, Power and Gus of San Francisco was re-elected secge- tary. This morning other papers will be read, and in the afternoon visits will be made to the electric and gas plants at Oakland by the delegates. least and even DEMANDS DAMAGES.—Mabel Brooks, who was injured in a collision between two eiec- tric cars on H street, near the Ocean Roule- vard. in June of last year filed a suit for $10,400 damages against the Market Street Railroad Company yesterday. | The Pacific Coast Electric Transmission | JURY RECALLS OLD WITNESSES Inquirers Keep Anxious Ones Sitting Another Long Day.

He told about a hur- ry-up move by which he got $00 from & Haywards bank five or six weeks ago. He needed the money, and is supposed to have got a certain county official to help him get it. Later in the day J. L. Far- num of the Haywards Bank was called to tell what he knew about the same transaction. He was only held a few minutes. M. de L. Hadley, business manager of the Enquirer, was recalled to make clear the bookkeeping methods in vogue in the Enquirer office. A. J. Read of the job _department of the Enquirer and T. M. Robinson, Assessor Dalton’s chief dep- uty. were the new witnesses. They gave testimony of an expert nature and only entertained the Inquisitors a few minutes. Neither Dalton nor Danfels were called.

Crocker Com- pany, one of the bidders for the contract, and W. W. Copeland, representing the Typographical Union, got into a discus- sion about the union labor question. Cope- land became much excited and rushed at Marshall, shoving him from where he was standing. James Bryan of the Typo- graphical Union came between the two men and prevented further troubie. Chairman Booth of the Supervisors ad- journed the meeting until order was re- stored, when the question wAs again taken up. The board will pass upon the bids for printing t ADVERTISEMENTS.
