THKES A SLAP AT TWO BOARDS Woodward Chafesat De- lay Over Plans for Schoolhouses, Blames Park Commission for Not Improving Grounds of Schools. Another slap at the Board of Public Works was taken yesterday by the Board of Education, which adopted a report filed by Director Woodward, complaining of the persistent delay of the first named board in preparing plans for the erection of new school bulldings. Woodward also paid his respects to the Park Commis- sioners for not beautifying the grounds or gardens surrounding the schools. The report says: Although under our authority the Board of ) Works employed two additional draughtsmen | &t our expense but little substantial advance Las been made in the plans for new school- houses. The specifications of the Sherman six rooms addition have not yet come from the srinter, although & month ago We expected that by this time bids for the bullding would Liave been received. The plans of the Noe Val ley are still being drawn and the little “‘Car- ville” school is the only other of those enu- merated in the October report upon which any- thing has been done. The Board of Works vas requested to prepare plans and estimate ©of cost of new bulkhead and fence on the rear end of the west side of the Garfield iot, the ©ld ones being in a dangaerous condition.” No snswer has been received and nothing has been done to avert the serious damage the slorms of the, present winter may occasion. The Board of Works has also been asked se eral times to caush sidewaiks to be laid front of different schools. No answer has ben ven to any of the letters and none of the dewalks have been laid. Another example of the bad effects of this THE SAN IRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1902. FRUIT-GROWERS OF CALIFORNIA DEMANDING BETTER RAILWAY FREIGHT SERVICE TO EASTERN STATES HE second day’s session of the California State Fruit Growers' Convention opened at Ploneer Hall' yesterddy morning with President Ellwood Cooper and Vice-President E. J. Wickson at their respective stations. Isidor Jacobs enlightened and enter- talned the convention by reading an | estay on “Trade Possibilities,in Califor- | nia Canned ard Dried Fruits.” | Bdmond F. Adams contributed a valu- able paper on the subject of *“Recent Progress of Co-operation in California.” The essay was a masterly review of con- ditions as they exist in this State and the relations of the carrier and grower were defined in lucld style. 'ward Berwick gave an essay on the topie, “The Imperative Need of a Tim | Schedule on East-bound Fruit Car: |Bawick did not hesitate to speak in plain language in referring to the delin- | Quency of transportation companies. One paragraph of® the paper contains this estimate of revenue by the railroads: Fruit and vegetable products from California eastward-bound now foot up some 65,000 cars. Averaging these at only $300 aplece for freight, there is nearly $20,000,000 annually paid by Californla growers to the railroad. This s { & tolerably good sized golden egs, and itlis ( mot policy for the railroad to kil the goose that lays it. It is not always politic to be | over-exacting, even when one has the power. It pays to concllizte clients, It is just as possible to run freight trains on schedule time as to run passenger trains thereon. TENDER SPOT FOR RAILROADS. In Closing Berwick had this to offer; divided responsibility is the gardens and grounds of our schools. Under the charter the Board of Park Commissioners is given the exclusive control and management,” but they do mot seem to realize their responsibility an the result is dilapidation where there should be beauty. The Board of Bducation has spent a great deal of money on concrete walls and walks, but the gardens are unmade. After .writing two letters detailing our heeds, the following, dated November 18, was received from John McLaren, superintendent of parks: ring to yours of October 20, 1902, will ‘state hi we are looking into the improvement of e a2 number of the school grounds and will see what can be done for the yards that you | pame E.

UNITED STATES LAUNDRY Cffice 1004 Market Street, Another - line of argument that may fouch | the railroad officlals in & tender spot {s the | possible decrease of fresh fruit shipments. Men tire of a gamble that is one-sided. The grower or shipper cannot afford to lose his fruit, his boxes, and his packer’s time, in re- ! turnfor the privilege of paying for the freight | and refrigeration charges on fruit which ar- | rives at its destination either too green or \rotten . | _The assurance we are given every conventlon | that the interests of the railroad and the fruit grower are mutual is doubtless flattering and touching, but it does nothing to decrease the mortgage on our orchards. 1 even have a slight suspicion that the very urbane gentle- men who represent the railroad company on these occasions sometimes laugh In _thelr sleeves at the credulity and endurance of that most plodding and patient animal, the Cali- | fornia fruit grower, Booming the fruit business has been and is a trump card with railroad editors. It brings grist to their mill; cash in hand forimmigrants’ fares and hopes of increased ‘reight in the fu- ture. Booming usually partakes of the nature of some distorted or exaggerated half truths, which are hard things to fight. As an anti-boomer, I should like to know how many fruit growers in this hall have this year made a fair interest on their money in- | vested and adequate remuneration for their { own time and ability. And I should like in- tending immigrants to be fully advised that it requires not only considerable capital, but also no small rheasure of ability, to make head againet the many adverse conditions which | beset California fruit growers. Perhaps one ) of the most adverse is the lack of a time schedule on east-bound fruit cars. I cannct conclude without | hope that the freight traffic managers of the | various transcontinental lines may be induced | 1o see the fruit growers' side in this matter; nay recognize the Imperative need of such a schedule, and realize that the demand for it | is founded in justice and equity, George D. Kellogg read a carefully studled paper on “Fruit Packing, Market- ing and Transportation.” Kellogg con- tended that the transportation of fruit to Eastern markets were surrounded with many perils to the shipper. He estimat- ed that the greatest losses to the grower were due to the fallure ons the part of the rallway companies to make time He believed that the growers should in- sist on a seven days’ schedule to Chicago. | Alden Anderson, Lieutenant Governor- elect, presented to the convention an elaborate document entitled, “Report of the California Fruit Distributors.” The question arose in the convention whether the canal resolution declaring in facor of the Nicaragua route, as published in The Call vesterday, had been adopted or referred to a committee for cqusiGeration. After quite a discussion the convention decided that the resolu- tion had not been adopted. Thereupon it was amended by striking out the para- | graphs expressing a preference for the Njcaragua over the Panama route. As | adopted the resolution simply hails wit delight the assurance that funds needfu for the construction of an isthmian canal have been appropriated. OPFOSE TARIFF TINKERING. The committee on President Cooper's annual address, Captain M. J. Daniels chairman, submitted the followkng report which was adopted: { _To the Frult Growers' Convention: We, | your committee to whom was referred the Dresident’s address, hereby beg leave to report as_follows as to the recommendations: Firet—That this convention favors the earn- | est co-operation of the fruit growers of Cali- | fornia in an extensive and varied exhibit of Inl! of California’s products at the Louisiana | Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, and we re- | quest the forthcoming Legislature to make a liberal appropriation for that purpose, and the secretary is requested to notify the Legislature of the action of this body.

Resolutions as follows were also pre- sented and adopted: Mr. Chairman: Your committee on resolu- ions, to whom was referred the resolutions adopted by the Pajaro Valley Orchardists’ Association, has given the same careful con- ideration, and respec:fully refer the same back this convention and recommend their adop- mn, except as to the amount of money to be ippropriated. In the judgment of your com- mittee the amount should be $20,000 in place of $50,000, and to be cqually divided between the State University and the State Board of Hortlculture, sto _be expended in conformity with the resolution. Your committee further recommends that the chairman of this convention appoint a committee for the purpose of drafting a suit- able _memorial to be presented to the incom- ing Legislature, in conformity with the fol- towing resclution, . N. ROWLEY, EDW. EHRHOREN, . N. JUDD. NIELS. Resolved, That we, the frult-growers of California, in convention assembled at San Francisco, December 3. 1902, believe that the former custom of hoiding two fruit conven- tions annually would greatly redound to the beneit of the horticultural industry, and we ask the State Board of Horticulture to call a State convention of fruit-growers, to be held in the eouthern part of the State, at a_time and place to be designated by the State Board of Horticulture. H."P. STABLER. AFTERNOON SESSION. ‘When President Cooper called the con- vention to order after a recess he an- nounced that there would be a session LB RAILROAD ACCIDENT PART OF CUPID'S PLOT Injured Dispatcher to Marry ' the Young Woman Who Nursed Him in Hospital. PASADENA, Dec. 3.—Amos Clark, night dispatcher of the Pacific Electric Railway, probably would never have met the woman he is now to marry if he had not accidentally lost a -hand in a railway accident. Yesterday Clark announced his engagement to Miss Emma Everett, an estimable and handsome young woman, who will graduate this month from the class of trained nurses at.the Pdsadena Hospital. They are to be married about the middle of January. On the 20th of June, 1901, Clark, who is a brother-in-law of Manager W. H. Smith of the Pacific Electric Rallway Company, was on board a wrecking car on its trial trip. They were coming down a steep grade when the brake broke and the car left the track and turned over. Cjark was caught under the wreck and his left hand was cut off. He was con- fined for several weeks in the Pasadena Hospital. Miss Everett was his nurse. “T guess that was when Cupid got in his work,” said the happy benedict-to-be, to-day. ‘‘He had me on my back where T couldn’t defend myself. If anybody had told me a year ago that I would be mar- ried within a year I wouldn’t have be- lieved him. But I'm getting back two hands for one.” Clark’s friends gave him up ten years ago as a confirmed bachelor, Ship Bidston Hill Ashore. ASTORIA, Dec. 3.—The British ship Bidston Hill is lying at Pillar Rock, twenty miles above Astoria, with a hole in her bottom as the result of an accident that occurred last night. The vessel is cement-laden and while on her way up the river struck a sunken rock or log. Her forward water-tight compartment fille¢ and there is a small leak into the ncid, but the cargo is belleved not to have been damaged. The steamer Hercules will arrive at the scene of the disaster to-- morrow morning with a’ pumping outfit and a diver and the extent of the damage wili then be made known this evening in order to readjust the pro- gramme, that delegates could visit thz State University Friday afternoon. A. H. Naftzger read an essay on “Freight Rates,” which was attentively hedded by the audience. The elimination of the private car from the California fruit traffic was, in his judgment, the end that all should -work for. He said that the California fruit traffic cannot live and prosper under, existing freight tariffs. Unless the growing of fruit is fairly profitable to the orchardists the industry must perish. The essayist be- lieved that much good could be accom- plished by patient and persistent work to bring about the public ownership of public utilities. Frank E. Kellogg of Santa Barbara read a vigorous essay on ‘Transporta- ticn,” in which he reviewed the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission and the United States Supreme Court in urholding the discriminative poljcies of raillway corporations. He maintained that the railway corporations were almost absolute masters of the country, and ap- prehended that the rallroads, intrenched behind their liberal charters, would ulti- mately acquire possession of the farms, as they had of the oil and coal flelds. The remedy, he argued, was for the peo- ple to build and operate raillways for the people and by the people. Both Delegates Naftzger and Kellogg presented statistics showing the vast wealth invested in' railway enterprises. It was shown that the enormous sum of $1,300,000,000 was paid in one year by the shippers for charges on through freight. There were no statistics at hand to show the amount paid by the people for local freight. The people were compelled to pay freight rates, he said, that would enable the raflway owners to pay interest on a road capitalization of $§1,000 per mile. Both essays took ground in favor of pub- lic ownership of transportation lines. STRANGE DISEASE ATTACKS CATTLE IN SANTA CLARA Its Spread Is Rapid and Veterinary Surgeons Are Unable to Classify It. SAN JOSE, Dec. 3.—A cattle disease 'that, is puzzling veterinary surgeons is spreading throughout Santa Clara Coun- ty with startling rapidity. It is of an epizootic form, but is still distinct from anything heretofore known here. Dr., H. A. Forest, who has treated twenty cases of the disease within the past week, says that while it is clearly epizootic, it yet re- sembles to some extent the mouth and foot disease, with the latter eliminated. The first symptoms are a champing of the teeth and a, frothing of the mouth, rapidly followed by a stoppage of the milk secretion and a stiffening and crip- plicg of the limbs in a manner similar to that of a person affected by rheumatism. The animals have little appetite and there is such a sensitiveness about the shoul- ders that the - slightest touch nearly causes them to fall. As the disease pro- gresses an apthous spot forms on the palate—an enlarged, congested spot that has no feeling to the touch. Scme horses have been afflicted with the disease, but to no appreciable extent. So far the disease has not been fatal and it kas readily ylelded to the skill of the surgeons. VRO S LI Two Burglaries in Lemoore. HANFORD, Dec. 3.—Robbers broke into the postoffice in Lemoore last night, using a sledge and punch stolen from a black- smith shop. They blew open the safe with powder taken from shotgun shells and took about $100 and some gold nug- gets, the value h{t which is not now known. They then broke into Copeland & Lovelace's store and stole jewelry and ‘watches valued at $400 or $500. The Old Camper Has for forty-five years had one article in his supply—Borden’s Eagle Brand Con- densed Milk. It gives to soldiers, sailors, hunters, campers and miners a daily com- fort, “like the old home.” Delicious in coffee, tea and chocolate. . 2 Many instances were cited of low freight charges in Belgium. and India, where ‘governmeént ownership of trans- rortation lines prevailed. It was asserted that the rates in the Unitepd States were ten times higher than the rates in coun- tries where the public owned the roads. DECIDUOUS FRUIT INDUSTRY. A. R. Sprague of Sacramento read a paper on ‘‘California Deciduous Fruit In- dustry.” He was greeted with a round of applause when he ascended the platform to address.the convention. Sprague dwelt uponthe gratifying progress made by the California Fruit Exchange and urged up- on his hearers the value of co-operation. The paper also dwelt upon the excellent progress made by the California Fresh Fruit Exchange. a; C. D. Harvey of Loomis, a grower who announced himself as a stranger who had come to the convention for information to take home to his neighbors, asked per- mission to speak. He paid high compli- ment to the admirable character of the essays on transportation, public owner- ship of railways and other kindred sub- Jects, but he wanted to know what the fruit-growers could do to get their green fruit to market with some profit. As Harvey was not on the programme of contributors, the president gave him a broad hint that others had the right of way. R. D. Et;phens, from the permanent | attitude of the commigsion regarding the committee on transportation, presented | efforts for an outside settlement. an elaborate report in which he dwelt up- on the recent alliance of the Southern Pa- cific with the Armour Company. quoted a letter written to William Sproule, traffic manager of the Southern Paclific, in which the apprehension was expressed that the California fruit-growers would be placed at the mercy of the Armour monopoly. Incidentally, Eproule was in- formed that the Armour people had never answered the question wny they charged for refrigeration of California fruit a sum largely in excess of the ampunt charged against Oregon fruit. ; The report submitted by Stephens was signed by Alexander Gordon, A. H. Naftz- ger, A. N. Judd and R. D. Stephens. It was stated that Alden Anderson of the committee on’ transportation deeclined to sign, giving as a reason that the report placed the cart before the horse. It seems that William Sproule replied that, as the Southern Pacific Company had nothing to do with the marketing of fruit, the committee’s. remonstrance had no force. 'WARM DISCUSSION ENSUES. A motion to adopt the report evoked an animated debate, in which Isidor Jacobs, M. V. Hartranft, R. D. Stephens and others joined. “Is the Armour Company an evil to the fruit-growing interests of the State?” was a straight question addressed by Mc- Intire fo Hartranft. The reply was gen- eral and somewhat indefinite so far as Hartranft was concerned, but Stephens intervened and in a specific manner un- took to enlighten the audience. ¥ . Jackson of Minneapolis proclaimed himself an Easterner who was will- ing to say a word in commendation of the report. He was welcomed to the floor and made a happy little speech, in which he advised Californians to tell the Eastern pecple the whole truth about the advan- tages and disadvantages of fruit-growing. A. H. Naftzger reiterated his views that the private car line was an evil to the fruit-grower and should be eradicated. “It is believed in transportation circles,” sald Naftzger, “that the Armours own and control the Earl Fruit Company. In the south we are against the private car line all the time. If the Southern Pacific has entered into an irrevocable contract with the Armour Company -‘the railroad corporation should be punished for it. I do not know that they can be punished, but they ought to be.” )] The debate brought out the statement that the Oregon fruit-grower got his fruit refrigerated for $15 a car, while a charge ranging from $8 to $110 per car was laid against the California fruit shipper. A. R. Sprague asserted that the fight in the south was won by organization. “It was won by the Southern California Fruit Exchange in the teeth of more formid- able opposition than confronts us here,” said he. Isidor Jacobs said when the fruit-grow- ers organize they will get relief. He be- lieved that the relief would come in the form of a traffic association of fruit-grow- ers. - The debate became hotter as night ceme on and the accuracy of statements in the report was challenged or questioned by two or three speakers. It was dis- tinctly asserted that the statements em- bodied in the report would injure the State if published broadcast. Fruit- growers from Southern California did not favor adoption. Evidently these two paragraphs were objectionable: OBJECTIONABLE PARAGRAPHS. The granting to the Armour Company the exclusive right to carry green fruit shipments means that the company will have a monep- oly of the business so long as the conmtract is” permitted to exist, and if there are no qualifications in the contract which will give to vour company the right to abrogate, or, in_other terms, terminate the contract at will, then it also means that the Armour Company will possess without hindrance of any nature whatever the absolute power to control 90 per cent of all Eastern markets in which Califernia fruit is sold. Such a result will not only give to the Ar- mour Company the control of shipments to Eastern markets, but also, for all practical purposes, the control’ of the deciduous fruit industry of the State throughout most, if mot all, its lines, and thus will the profits from fruit growing in California be diverted from a just and equitable distribution among the peo- plo of the State to the treasury of the Armour Company in Chicago. A motion to amend the report was lost. ‘When the final vote on the main question came the conventlon adopted the report of the committee. The convention meets again this fore- noon. He | that the whole matter would be dismissed fber 20; Redding, December 22; Ashland, | DEMANDS BRI ACTION GAAY + Commission Desires Results. ’ o Y Common Sense Agreement the Hope of the Arbitrators. - SCRANTON, Pa., Dec. 3.—After ‘an ad- Jjournment of ten days, during which time | the representatives of the railroads and miners were kept busy at work prepar- ing evidence for submission to the An- thracite Coal Strike Commission, the hearing of_the miners’ side of the contro- versy was resumed in the State Superior courtroom at 10 o'clock this morning. The usual large crowd was in attend- ance, and in addition there were several new faces among the array Qf attorneys. The most prominent among these was Samuel Dickson of Philadelphia, repre- senting the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, a large independent company, whose collieries. are all located in the Panther Creek Valley. Among the spec- tators were about twenty Italians and Polanders ‘'who will be called upon to tell the conditions prevailing in the middle or Hazleton region. In opening the day’'s proceedings Chair- man Gray made an explanation of the He said ‘there had been a misunderstanding in some quarters. The idea had gone out if an agreement was reached. This, he said, was incorrect. He read a statement made by the sub-committee in which it was stated that the committee would not abrogate its duties and that it would stand responsible for any agreement it approved or award it made. The chairman also added that the com- mission wished to say that parties to the controversy may not withdraw without the consent of the other parties before the commission. Dickson announced that in addition to | representing the Lehigh Coal and Navi- | gation Company he appeared for the in- dividual concerns in the anthracite re- gion. On the outside agreement proposi- tion Chairman Gray announced that the commission still “entertained the hope | that efforts to agree would continue and the commission would gladly lend its good offices to that end.” Judge Gray said that unless some com- mén sense agreement was reached as to the presentation of figures the expecta- tion of life of most of the members of the commission would be insufficient to reach an end to the controversy. President Mitchell was called to the gtand, and in answer to questions by his counsel said the 20 per cent increase in wages would increase the labor cost less than 10 cents a ton. Taking President Baer’s statement as a basis, he said the increase would be about. 17 cents a ton. He was cross-examined by Wayne Mac- Veagh and other attorneys. In reply to a question Mitchell said the companies were not averse to increasing the wages of the men, but did not do so because they were opposed to the union. ‘W. H. Deterry, president of a local union, employed as a miner by Coxe Bros. & Co., Grafton, said company men are pald an average of $7 20 a week and that a blacklist exists at the Coxe mines. He further said he was on the blacklist for nine months because he refused to work a breast which netted him only $3 | a week. He also complained of the dock- | ing system.

Neither will con- sumption germs grow ' per= fectly heaithy iungs But if the lungs become weak and inflamed they are good -soil for consumption germs, and it these enter they may take root and grow. There is no medicine that will directly weed them out. e thing to do is to make the luags so healthy that the germs will have to stop grow- ing because there is nothing for them to thrive on. The lungs must be nour- ished with plenty of good blood, kept pure by breath: ng purcair There must be more sleep; less work “and worry. Perhaps some medi- cine. The doctor will know. The most important thing is nourishment. When the body is weakened by con- sumption, the digestive pow- ers cannot obtain from -ordi- dinary food enough of the elements needed to make good blood. The lack is best supplied by the,use of Scott’s Emulsion. It is extremely rich in the substances which make good blood, and it also helps the digestion to obtain nourishment from ordinary food. Scott’s Emulsion is a food- medicingg not a stimulant not a mere “extract” or so- called “wine” of cod liver oil. It contains the whole oil per- fectly emulsified, which is the only way of preserving its valuable properties. These are united with hypophos- phites of lime and soda into a combination which rapidly builds healty tissue through- out the whole body, and par- day passed the bill appropriating $50,000 to defray the expenses of the Anthracite | Coal Strike Commission, and ‘then ad- | journed until Friday, when the London dock bill will be considered.
