He stated that 123 cents of the | @ pound is the prevailing price among the Eastern retailers. Mr. was much interested in co-operation because of its failures.

Just before adjournment the commit- tee of fifteen reported two plans of co- operation and the report as a whole | was adopted. These are the same as reported yesterday. The first plan provides the growers wherever practicable shall organize as- | sociations to pepare the fuit for market |and that these organizations form a | central agency through which the seli- | ing to the market shall be done.

GO ON AN EXCURSION. A memorial upon the death of John | | Rock, the well-known nurseryman, was | | adopted. The greetings of the convention was sent to Senator Willlam Johnson of | Sacramento, who was too ill to attend | the convention. | | Adjournment was taken until 7:30 this | evening. | The delegates were the guests of the | Chamber of Commerce this afternoon | jand were taken on an excursion over | the Interurban Electric Railway to Los | Gatos and Saratoga. A stop was made | | at the Sorosis packing-house, where an | | Inspection of the plant was made and | {a light lunch served. | There was a fair attendance at the | | evening session when President Couper called it to order. The evening had been set apart for a session for the County Horticultural Commissioners | |and the programme was made up of | i subjects germain to their duties and | | offices. : “The Entomological Equipment of | the Horticultural Commissioner” was | the subject of a paper by Professor C. | W. Woodworth, which referred to the | | different diseases and their eradica- | tion. George C. Roeding of Fresno read a | paper on “The Inspection of Nursery | Stock From a Nurseryman's Stand- ! | point.” “The Problem of Insect Con- trol” was the subject of a paper by C. | A. Day of Los Angeles. . { Professor Ralph E. Smith discussed | | “Pear Blight in Northern California” | and E. K. Carns read a paper on “The | Quzarantine Division of the State Com- mission of Horticulture.” | The papers were discussed by those | present.

Hughes, wealthy merchant and planter of Tren- work of the Episcopal church among|ton, S. C., and his entire family were the negroes, Bishop Burgess of diocese of Long Island, who presided, declared that the fate of the church|unknown persons, believed by the| and state alike is involved In the solu-| tracks found to be three men, entered the | murdered and their house burned. Investigation revealed the fact that tion of this problem. If the white peo-|4he house, murdered Mrs. Hughes in ple do not elevate the negro, he de- clared, the negro surely will drag his white superiors to his own level. Chris- tianity alone could do it, he sald. The Rev. Dr. C. F. J. Wrigley, arch- | deacon of South’ Brookiyn, said he feared that a mistake had been made in the enfranchising of the negro when he was hardly prepared for the solemn duty. If this mistake had been made, he said, great must be the reparation from the North in money and in work to bring the negro to a state where he might work out his own destiny. In- dustrial education will be the means for this, Dr. Wrigley believed, Dr. Wrigley asserted also that prac- tically a state of anarchy exists in the | South to-day. A great movement of negroes had set'in to the cities, where they were living' wretchedly and shift- lessly, and vet before the war they had done practically all the skilled labor of | the Seuth. The trouble, he believed, had come from a misconception of what liberty meant when the negroes received it. Negroes in this condition were a menace to the church, the state and themselves. - To remedy this they must be educated—made to see God. They should be given a chance for in- dustrial development. Then when the negro had his chance if he took ad- vantage of it he should be received at his true worth as a man, despite his color. In this work of regeneration the North must bear the burden, for it | alone has the money. —_——————— ROBBERS DYNAMITE SAFE AND GET ABOUT $3000 Farmers' State Bank in Oklahoma Territory Is Visited by Bold Thieves. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Dec. 8.— The Farmers' State Bank at Lambert, forty miles west of Enid, was robbed last night by three men. who dyna- mited the safe.

Hughes evident- | 1y heard the noise and went from his 10oom into the hallway, where he was| shot down. A srecial train was sent to Columba: for blocdhounds to track the murder- ers. The highest state of excitement prevails through the community. ANTI-DIVORCE CRUSADE INDORSED BY THE POPE ROME, Dec. 8.—Pope Pius coun- sels all Catholic journais to adopt a sympathetic attitude toward the new movement in the Anglican church to restrict the obtaining of divorces. His Holiness urges that the general effect of convincing mankind of the necessity of a law mantaining the indissolubility of the marriage tie would be greatly to promote the happiness of the hu- man race. —e—— Army and Navy Orders.
