GROWERS ARE AROUSED | Taste for Frllit and Couse-i quent Increase in Demand | to Be Developed by Gifts BY PAUL EDWARDS. CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILDING, | WORLD’S FAIR, ST. LOUIS, Oct. 13.- | Fresno County, which produces nearly { all the raisins used in the United States } and has more on hand than she can sell gro advantage, has at last awakened to | the importance of advertising her lead- |ing product at the fair and getting | samples into the hands of those who may become consumers. This county is ‘prr-purmg to send to the World's Fair | large quantities of raisins to be dis- | tributed as samples. | | When the fair first opened strong ef- | | forts were made to secure 100 tons of | Fresno raisins for distribution to those who visited it. Some supported and some opposed the project, and it was | finally dropped despite the advice given | by Charles F. Wyer, the Fresno County | commissioner, that it would be profit- | able to carry it out. Now, when the fair is In its closing weeks, Fresno has de- cided to send the raisins. Commissioner | Wyer has written hack that 100 tons cannot be judiciously distributed at this late date and that about twenty tons should be sent. These will be given away at the Fresno exhibit and at the California building in quarter-pound packages. % EDUCATE THE PEOPLE. “People can easily be educated to eat raisins,” said Commissioner Wyer, “and to use them in a great many dishes where they are not used now. The con- | sumption per capita of raisins can be greatly raised by proper distribution of samples.” George E. Hyde and Loyd Childs, who represent Santa Clara County at | the fair, are working hard to promote | the consumption of prunes and gain knowledge concerning the Eastern sales of this fruit. The crowds that gather |to sample the cooked prunes given away at the Santa Clara booth grow greater every day. Hyde and Childs | make the statement, which at first j.:m:m( funny, that the men who sell | prunes in the East—the retail grocers— the men who obstruct their sale. charge too much for them, and | instead of becoming.a reasonable priced, popular article of diet the prune | is looked upon by the masses of East- ern people as a luxury. The middle man in this case is not to blame. The retailers want too much profit, and they demand from 12% to 15 cents a | pound for prunes they get for less than half those prices. If the retail prices ran nearer the wholesale figures many more prunes would be eaten, to the ad- | vantage of the grower. | Henry Lachman, who gained the title | | of “The Feacemaker” during his ser: | or the International wine jury | here, has departed for the East and | will soon be back in California. Lach- | man has done good work here for his State. The prestige he gained through | his ability to pour oil on breakers and | smocth out numerous disputes that | arose among the jurors gave him an ! | influence that benefited his State greatly. He also learned many things here that will be an aid to producers of and dealers in wine when imparted to them. FOUR GRAND PRIZES. From the wine jury California will | get four grand prizes, seventeen gold medals and a score of silver and bronze medals—a pretty good show- ing. Certain shortcomings in the way ot1 labeling and preparing wine for ship- ment have been brought prominently to the front at this fair, and the result of this will also be a benefit to the in- dustry in California. Dr. Metz, head of the chemistry de- partment of the Tulane University of | New Crleans, called on Superintendent | Haber of the California wine exhibit | this week and expressed his approval | of the vintages of that State by, placing a large order for his private | callar. He praised the wines highly. Dr. Metz was in California for seven- teen weeks in the interests of his uni- | versity and Louisiana, and was greatly | pleased with the Golden State. The University of California has been awarded some important prizes for its exhibits in the FEducational Building. Some of these are supposed | to be grand prizes, though no public | announcement has bdeen made. The | Lick Observatory display and the pho- tographic work in conmection with it are said to have been given the high- est honors. The forestry exhibit of California, got together by W. H. Mills, Commissioner | Filcher and Thomas Hatch, has been | awarded a grand prize.

It was not without some misgiving, how- ever, that she permitted herself to be led a second time to the hymeneal 'al- tar. Much as she had learned to ad- mire Mr. Hermann as a wooer her be- lief in the permanency of husbandly devotion had been somewhat shaken by her experience as Mrs. Fritz. In- deed, when she decided to take unto herself a second spouse there was ques- tion in her mind as to whether com- plete felicity could possibly outlive the honeymoon peried of any matrimonial union. But she was pleased to inform Police Judge Cabaniss, she was charged with battery, she had never had occasion to regret the fateful moment when she surren- dered to Mr. Hermann's ardent plead- ing by whispering “Yes. Since then her life has been very happy. It would be entirely unshadowec if Mr. Fritz were to cease persecuting her. Couldn’t the court compel him to let her alone— to forget her as thoroughly as she fails to remember him when he is outside her range of vision, and she is not re- ceiving anonymous letters of which he is undoubtedly the author? The specific complaint, sworn to by Mr. Fritz, accused Mrs. Hermann of slapping his face in the foyer of the Central Theater the previous evening. With her husband the defendant was attending the playhouse, occupying two-bit seats and enjoying the drama, when she was seized with that inde- finable feeling which indicates the pres- ence of an enemy. Intuitively she knew that Mr. Fritz was near, for no other person she knew of had desire to do her injury, and wnen she glanced around and saw him “lording it in a bex” and malignantly sneering as his eyes met hers, she was more pained than surprised. Right there and then she determined to “have it out with him” and when the curtain dropped and he retired to the foyer she followed him. Taxing him with hounding her she slapped his cheek with an open hand. He requested her to repeat the assault and she promptly complied. Then he spoiled the remainder of her evening by giving her into custody. Mr. Fritz averred that he had never given the defendant any provocation whatsoever for her attack upon him. To which she warmly retorted by de- claring that he had written anonymgQus letters intended to blacken her char- acter. He met the charges by asserting that he had never learned to write. She hoped he did not have sufficient hardi- hood to say in presence of the Judge that his sister was also afflicted with illiteracy. Instead of saying anything of the sort he asked her if she had not written unsigned threats to him. She dared him to prove it. He might not be able to prove it, but he did not pro- pcse to be lied about by her. If he dared to call her a liar she would have him understand that he was another- "Twas then the court clapped its hands to its ears and shouted, “Stop it!” and hastily continued the hearing thirty days. A it Richard Nelson, a tentmaker, housed his wife and four small chil- dren in the damp and dingy basement at 12 Twelfth street and with the money thus saved he purchased addi- tional liquor. The family's living place is seven feet from floor to ceil- ing and occupies an area of ten by ten feet. “It would give me infinite pleasure,” said Judge Mogan to Mr. son, “to be legally authorized to escort you to a whipping post and there lay about a hundred lashes upon your naked back. No other punishment is ade- quate to offset your treatment of the unfortunate ones that are dependent upon y8h for maintenance. When you come here to-morrow for sentence I'll endeavor to make you regret your in- human treatment of your own flesh and blood.” Mr. Nelson sullenly retumned to the cage, evidently satisfied that the Judge cannot send him to jail without indi- rectly punishing the helpless creatures who look to him for their food and shelter. . . James Hennessey, butcher, hurled his cleaver at a predatory dog that was sniffing a dressed carcass in his meat market, and so accurate was his aim that the animal hastily departed without its caudal appendage. Mr. Hennessey was fined $20 by Judge Ca- baniss. Mrs. Julia Gould, accused of selling liquor without license on Stevenson street, was seized with hiccoughs as she sat awaiting trial in Judge Mo- gan’s court and so much noise did she make that her removal to the corridor ‘When the case was called she had not recovered from the annoying attack and his Honor gave her twenty-four hours’ respite. . . John Scebrtdt—the clerk of Judge Mogan’s court did not try to pro nounce the name and Bailiff Hickey owner—was accused of having dis- turbed the peace, and Patrolman A. L. Martin testified that he found the defendant in the act of holding a fel- low seaman in a horse trough on East street at 10 o'clock last Wednesday night. The trough was about half full of water and the. officer firmly be. lieved that he rescued the immersed mariner just in time to save him from drowning, as he was lying face down- ward. The “defendant said he was stopped his fun, and the Judge said the climax of the joke will be reached to-day when he sentences Mr. Sce— never mind. James Eccles, who stole a saddle valued #t $150 from Philip Kinzen of 2729 Washington street, was sent to the Superior Court by Judge Cabaniss. The charge is burglary. . Edward Gallagher and F. K. Thomp- son, charged with “holding up” John Irwin, an agriculturist from Antioch, night before last at Third and Natoma streets, smiled hopefully when Mr, Ir- win informed Judge Mogan that he had before whom ; that was very drunk when it occurred. But their countenances fell when Patrolmen witness named John Barrett, who saw defendants as its perpetrators. The hearing was continued until Mr. Bar- rett can be produced in court. . eiie charge of battery and announced her intention of pushing it to the limit of her ability. She is an Italian and had been separated from her spouse for some time when, she alleges, he called at her home, 1108 Kearny street, and | demanded that she give him $20. When she declined to comply he roughly seized her, threw her violently to the floor, and in attempting to break the all she broke a bone in her right | wrist. He says he is a fisherman, but she declares he is a vagrant. Judge Cabaniss has the case. . . A jury in Judge Mogan’s court ac- quitted Philip Della of the charge of selling unsound meat, which has been hanging over him since last June. fhe defense convinced the twelve good and true men that Mr. tempt to sell the meat, but simply | slaughtered and dressed it and deliv- ered it to another butcher at Colma. P . Mrs. Henrietta Haswell of 133 Polk street applied to Judge Mogan for a warrant charging Mrs. Adair of Fruit- vale with having kidnaped the com- | plainant’s seventeen-year-old daugh- ter, Monica. The girl left her home two weeks ago in company with Mrs. Adair and has not since been seen by her mother, nor can her whereabouts be discovered by the detectives, who are searching for her. Mrs. Adair told the Judge that she parted company with Monica on Market &treet and does not know what became of her after- ward. It developed that the missing girl was nearing maternity when she left home. The warrant was not is- sued. » “etnis Tim Mulvihill and his wife, residing on Chenery street, were deprived of the custody of their two young chil- dren by order of Judge Cabaniss, to | whom it was proved that the little onmes were shamefully neglected by their parents. The children were con- signed to a public institution. « s e Peter Tanner, a bartender, promised to provide for his sick wife and infant child if Judge Mogan would release on probation. W. W. Bates, accused of selling lot- tery tickets at 1312 Market street, of- fered to plead guilty and pay the cus- tomary fine of $100, but the Judge took the offer under consideration and in- structed the complaining policeman to ascertain, if possible, whether the tickets found in the defendant’s pos- session were genuine or counterfeit. ————— Town Tal The literary and news features of this week's Town Talk are of exceptional quality and unusual interest. The Saun- terer deals with some queer aspects of registration and tells of a dinner given to Senator Bard at which Collector Strat- ton was a guest. He also tells why Sau- salito was Interested in the Wood di- vorce case and why the defendant was reinstated in his position. He explains the solicitude of Herman Oelrichs’ friends, and why Captain Rowan rebelled against the strenuous hospitality of his wife's friends. He tells of a soclety girl's romance, gives the details of a Bo- hemian Club contretemps. comments on a Judge's grewsome stunt at a Cosmos Club dinner and sheds light on the trans- port frauds. In this breezy number Theodore Bonnet discusses “The Profes- sional Reformer,” Edward Clough con- tinues his castigation of the missiona- ries, that distinguished stylist, Harry Cornell, writes of “Playing the Fool,” and there is an entertaining illustrated arti- cle of interest to automobile enthusiasts. —_————— P Two Sailors Suffocated. Alturo Cuper and J.

Laban was rermoved to the Harbor Hospital and the body of Cuper was taken to the Morgue. They engaged the room and retired between 2 and 3 o’clock in the morning.

The difference was %bro‘ught about by different methods of valuation. The story connected with the | transactlons is of more than ordinary | | interest as it is told by merchants. | 8. L. Jones & Co., Maldonado & Ci | Haas Brothers, Balfour, Guthrie & Co. and J. H. Boden, the last named being a broker, imported bird seed in large | Quantities on vessels that arrived at | this port in March and April last. S. L. | Jones & Co. had two lots of seed. The dates of exportation from Liverpool, which is the bird seed market of the world, ranged from September 17, 1903, to December 1, 1903. The vessels ar- rived at this port in March and April, 1904. There is a customs regulation, one of many prepared by the Secretary of the Treasury Department, that provides in interpretation of the laws governing the | collection of customs duties of the | United States that “it is the duty of the | Appralser, or officer acting as such, to make careful examination of any mer- chandise which the Collector designates | for that purpose and to appraise the | actual market value or wholesale price thereof at the time of exportation in the principal markets and in the cur- rency of the country whence the same was imported.” Another provision made by the Secretary of the Treasury is that “the time of exportation must be deemed the date at which merchandise actually leaves the foreign port.” DIFFERING COURSES. | When the lots of bird seed referred | to arrived at San Francisco the import- | ers pursued different courses. 8. L. Jones & Co. after sending a cablegram to Liverpool to ascertain the regular market price of bird seed on the sailing | day of the vessel that brought tteir | iImported goods voluntarily raised the valuation from the rates at which they bought it to the quoted price on the day of the salling of the vessel. This in- volved a difference in the duty of some- thing like $1400. Haas Brothers and Balfour, Guthrie & Co. raised the valu- ations on their goods similarly. Maldo- nado & Co. and Boden, when the valu- ation on their bird seed was raised by Appraiser John T. Dare, concluded to fight the matter out before the Board of General Appraisers at New York. The value of bird seed in the Liverpool market had been rising steadily for some time before any of the seed in question was dispatched for this port, and the differences between the pur- chase prices and the real market values on the days of exportation were con- siderable in all the cases in question. Maldonado & Co. and Boden appealed from the increase in valuation by the Appraiser to the Board of General Ap- praisers. On the first hearing of the facts one member of the Board of Gen- eral Appraisers decided in favor of Maldonado & Co. and Boden. The case was then brought up on review before the Board of General Appraisers by reason of action at this end of the line, and the result was that three of the General Appraisers sustained the opin- ion and decision of the one General Ap- praiser who first considered the matter, and so it was settled that Maldonado & Co. and Boden should have their bird seed at a lower rate of valuation for the assessment of customs duties than the other three business houses that have been named herewith. CREATES MUCH INTEREST. There is much interest in the issue of the case among commercial houses. By the lower rates of valuation two houses are able to make a lower price for bird seed than their competitors. There is some {rritation, but as Haas Brothers, Balfour, Guthrie & Co. and S. L. Jones & Co. voluntarily raised their own val- uations there has been no appeal on their part. Possibly some of these three houses may now present the facts from their point of view to the Board of Gen- eral Appraisers and ask that they be Friday S Prices for To-Day Only: Wool Sacking a yard—For to-day we have 50c taken all of our 50-inch it from 65c a yard.

The Supervisors’ Finance Commit- tee yesterday resumed its investiga- tion into the bills of the F. M. Yorke | Company on its contract for repairing bituminous pavements. Henry Bladgen, former superintend- ent of the company, who was dis- charged, testified that the concern had apparatus with which 3000 square | feet of pavement could be laid daily. The committee figured that at that rate only 78,000 square feet could have been laid during the entire month of August and thought it strange that bills for the resurfacing of 104,000 square feet had been pre- sented by the Yorke Company. Inspector Boone testified as to the method of inspection to ascertain the quantity and quality of the work done. City Engineer Woodward was pre- pared to give evidence that the plant of the company has a capacity of 9000 square feet a day, but he was not called to the witness stand. Yorke | offered to put down between 6000 and 17000 square feet of 2li-inch bitumen on the street in front of the Phelan building at 23 cents a foot, but the of- fer was declined. The committee concluded its inves- tigation and will flle a report with the board next Monday, as it does not de- ire to hold the bills up any longer than necessary. —_———— Jurists From Dawson City.
