GRIEVANGE Accuse Cured Fruit Di rectors of Unfair Dealing. Object to Unequal Distribu- tion of Association’s Funds. Special Bispatch to The Call. HEALDSBURG, July 28.—Members of the California Cured Fruit Association of Healdsburg and vicinity made vigorous | protest against the method employed by ! | the managers in the distribution of the funds of the association. E. N. Glashen was clected chairman of a mass meet- irg held in this city and E. B. Snook, manager of the Miller & Hotchkiss pack- ing house, was called upon for informa- | ticn. Snook told the assembled growers | that he had discovered the discrepancy in the apportionment of the dividends be- tween the different districts by obtaining a copy of dividend table No. 7, as issued to each district, and then comparing the three tables, The members of the Cured Fruit As- | scciation. present at the mass meeting were unanimous in declaring that they Jjoined the association with the under- standing that it was a unit and that each member was entitled to an equal dividend vith every othler member, less a differen- | tial agreed upon, and that the three dis- tricts were established and defined only for the purpose of this differential. After a thorough discussion’ a commit- tee consisting of A. E. Burnham, William ¥loyd and C. McM. Lewis was appointed to draft resolutions to be forwarded to the board of directors of the California Cured Fruit Asseciation and also to be given to the press. The following reso- lutions were adopted: Whereas, dividend table No. 7, issued by | the California Cured Fruit Association to its members, shows a discrepancy between the amounts per pound apportioned to the diff.r- ent districts for the same size prunes, namely, for 40-50s, in -istrict No. 1, 3 In district | No. 2, $3'10, and in district No. 3, $+ 30: and | whereas, the California Cured Frult Associa- tion is a corporation composed of fruit-gro ers from all parts of the State; and whereas, ali prunes delivered to sald acsociation became the property of said association and not the property of any subdivision or district of said association, said _districts being _established simply for the purpose of allowing ceptain sections a differential as agreed upon, to-wit: District No. 1 to receive 1 of a cent per pound less than district No. 3, and district No. 2 to receive % of a cent per pound less than dis- therefore, be it . That all dividends declared by the California 'Cured Fruit Association, on each size, should be on a pro rata basis on all prunes of the same size and quality delivered | to the association by the growers all over the State, without regard to any particular dls- trict,” excepting the differential before stated; be it further Resolved, That the members of the Califor- | nla Cured Fruit Association of Healdsburg | and vicinity, at a meeting held on July 1902, protest agalnst the aforesaid distributions as made by the association, and demand that the funds still in the hands of the association, or that may hereafter accrue, be devoted to equalizing the pro rata so far paid, before any further dividend be allowed to the district, TWO TRAINS OF ELEVATED COLLIDE AT A JUNCTION Six Cars Are Derailed and Several of the Passengers Are Fatally Injured. NEW YORK, July 28.—A head-on col- lision occurred to-day between two trains of the Brooklyn Elevated Rallroad on Ad- ams street, which resulted in the derail- ing six cars, the wrecking of two, and the injury of a number of persons, at least two of them fatally. favored | » Tke collision is thought to have heen caused by a misplaced switch. A train bound from New York to Bath Beach was turning the curve at the junction when it was met by a train from the bridge station and the crash occurred. Gedfrey Moore and Henry Moore of New York were pinioned beneath the wreckage and probably fatally hurt. It was nearly an hour before they were released.

SANTA BARBARA, July 2.—The northern end of Santa Barbara County was jarred last night by the most serious earthquake In its nistory, causing a loss to property estimatea at 30,W0. At A tew minutes past 1l o clock the first sheck was felt at Los Alamos, extending as far as Lompoc and runmng from east to West. kesidents rushed trom their homes to the street clad in only their night gar- ments, as they heard furniture and dishes faling from the effect of the shocx. Many quakes followed, but none so se- vere as the first. 7The last to be re- corded was at 5:3v o'clock this afternoon. The old Orena adobe ranch house which tor years has been a landmars near Los Alamos, Is now a mass of ruins, the occupants escaping from the house Just before it fell. The greatest damage was done to the property ot the Western Union Oil Com- pany. On the Careaga ranch two 1500- parrel tanks nlled with oil, 1/5,000 gallons in all, were left a mass of ruins aad tie oil a total loss. The pipeline was de- stroyed ior a distance of a mile and fis- sures can be seen in the road to a depth of four feet. The welis were not dam- aged, although a repoft obtained circula- tion that the flow had ceased. At Harris station a creek bed, which had been dry for yvears, is now flowing a stream of water two feet deep and eigat- een feet wide. At the Harris home $200 { damage was done in the breaking of the furnituré and dishes. A ‘wardrobe which stood in one end of a bedroom was thrown entirely across the room, landing squarely in Harris' bed. FHarris, fortu= nately, was in this city at tife time. Considerable damage was done at Lom- poc, the effect of the earthquake being about the same as in Los Alamos. Sev- eral bufldings were cracked and much movable property broken. At Santa Ma- ria the shock was severe, but no damage resulted. At intervals throughout the day slight tremors could be feit, each succeeding one being less in force than that preceding fit. showing that the disturbance was travel- ing away from that locality. In Santa Barbara only a slight shock vads felt. This lasted only several sec- onds. — Awarded Damages for Libel. BELFAST, July 28.—William B.

ARTICLE L ’ CANCER AND ITS CURE. Cancer has been the unsoivable disease for ages. Thousands of physicians have spent their lives fn trylng to discover means that would reach definite cures. The knife has been ap- lied and in some few instances the cancer has Deen emtirely removed. In most cases wherd the knife has been used some vestige has re- mained and the trouble has again sprung into renewed life and growth. Possibly the appli~ cation of caustics has some timies been success- ful, but the cases of cure have been indeed means of reaching the germs and the peculiar chemical effect engendered was found to de- stroy the life of the germs. The X-Ray shining through the flesh, bone and muscle reached disease where mo other means could. Electro-Chemic Cancer Speci quick Ccover its value, Immediately appiled his edge of chemistry and evolved what is known as the Eiectro-Chemic X-Ray, times more powerful for the X-Ray than any other in existence. It is this that has been so successtul in curing some the most difficult cases of cancer. It is mot use anywhere other than in the Electro-Chemis Institutes, and is amply protected so that othe ers cannot use it. The same work of the Eleo- tro-Chemic X-Ray is performed fn the sradi~ cation of tumors and other growths. The Electro-Chemic Institute is an institu~ tion founded upon most comprehenstve lines 1s amply provided With funds to carry the treat. ment of chronic disease to its most successtul E 55;35 R i cure.
