CITRUS FAIR.
The Cloud in the South Disappears and
Peace Reipns Once More.

The Cloud in the South Disappears and
Peace Reigns Once More.
President Green and Director Hancock
of the State Board of Agriculture returned
by last evenings train from Los Angeles
They met the Convention of citrus fruit
growers held in that city. and as soon as
they explained to that body the law under
which the citrus fairs are to be held, and
that they must be under the supervision of
the State Board, all the friction that has
been generating concerning the appoint
ment of Mr.. Hancock to represent the
State Board and see that the States money
is properly disbursed in promotion of the
citrus fairs disappeared.
The people were told that the State
Board did not propose to arbitrarily run
the citrus fairs; it never had entertained
such a thought; the people must appoint
their own Executive Boards and set about
the work in their own way, but the State
Board had to account for the money and
therefore must supervise. But Mr.. Han
cock told the people that if they would
select an Assistant Superintendent he
would at once appoint him to attend to all
the details, as he did not propose to go to
Los Angeles and get up the fair, nor to run
counter to the ambition of the people 10
make it the best ever held. On the con-
trary, he would come some days before the
opening and remain till the close and aid
to that end, and would only interfere in
the line of his duty to see that the States
money was wisely used, and to produce the
best possible results. This removed all
misunderstanding, "and the people mani
tested their satisfaction" says Mr. Han
cock, 'by showing us every attention u
The whole trouble arose out Of misappre.
hension and was probably due to mis-.
taken view Of the purpose of the Legisla-
ture in making the appropriation.

ASSAULTED AND ROBBED.

Thomas Sullivan Has Rough Expert
ence in the Vicinity of Second and j.
Mayor Gregory was on his way to his
mothers residence last evening at about II
o'clock, and had just reached the corner of
Second and ] streets when he heard some
one calling Justly for help a short distance
ahead of him. He realized Immediately
that some one was being robbed, and
called to police officer Mclaughlin, who he
had passed few moments previous. The
officer responded, and the two ran to the
place whence came the cries for help. They
found a man who was somewhat under the
influence of liquor lying upon the SIDE
walk, and upon questioning him, learned
that two men had knocked him down and
robbed him of 50 50.
They took him to the Police Station,
where he gave them a detailed description
of the robbers.
The Mayor and police officer then started
off on q still hunt for the robbers, taking
in all of the usual rendezvous and dives,
and finally found the men they wanted in
the Lafayette Saloon, on K street. The
men were arrested and locked up for rob-
berry. They gave the names of John Della
ney and John Brown.
The robbed mans name is Thomas Sui
livan, and he identified the parties arrested
as the persons who robbed him.
1t appears that Sullivan had been in the
Californi House on Front street
during the evening, and when he
left. these men, believing that he had
money, followed him. and subsequently
assaulted and robbed him. They are both
known to the police and are said to be
pretty tough characters.

THE positive Identification of Burke,
one of the defendants in the Cronin case,
as the man who rented the cottage, under
false name, in which the unfortunate
doctor was dubbed to death, clears the way
wonderfully for tie prosecution and justi-
fes the course of the police in adhering to
the theory that the Winnipeg suspect was
one of the Cronin assassins. The identif-
cation really half tries the case, and the
defendants are now driven to the resort of
showing that they had no relations what
ever with Burke This they viii find a
most difficult, if not an impossible task.
Burke is not the kind of man to plan such
a murder alone. There was no motive for
such action on his part as an individual.
He rented the cottage for others and for
the express purpose for which it was used
He procured the vehicle in which Cronin
was driven to the house, and the man who
assisted him in hiring it was Coughlin, the
police officer. Both men are members of
the Gamma Gael, and both were of the
Sullivan faction that Cronin had antag-
onized. 1t looks very much as if the law
is closing around the prisoners with a fatal
embrace.

TO HANG FOR TREASON.

Albert Loomens, the Hawaiian Revolu-
ZIONIST, Sentenced to Death.
Albert Loomens, at one time a resident
of this city, and one of the leaders of the
Wilcox conspiracy that resulted in the
Hawaiian instruction of last July, has
been sentenced to be hanged for high
treason.
He was convicted on the 11th of Octo-
Der. On the 18th, just before the Australia
sailed for San Francisco, he was brought
into Court and sentenced to death. He
will be hanged on the first Monday in De-
cember.
Loomens will be the only one of the
conspirators to suffer the extreme penalty,
as the Attorney General has announced
that Wilcox is to be prosecuted only On
the charge of conspiracy, for which the
highest punishment is imprisonment.

THE Mayor of San Francisco has vetoed
the slogging ordinance on the ground that
prize-fghting is prohibited by State laws,
and that no municipality can license that
which is condemned by the law. This is
sound sense. But there are no laws against
boxing, and if the San Francisco Super
yisors can draw the line between prize
fighting and boxing, and regulate the
latter, we are of the opinion that public
good will be conserved since the State laws
are not strictly enforced against the former.
Against boxing, such as is taught in we'll
regulated gymnasiums, there's not only no
protest, but it is branch of physical train

CALIFORNIA on Wheels is to be brought
to this city during the session of the Ma
ton Grange, to give the delegates an OPP
portunity to examine the exhibition. This
is an excellent arrangement. The exhibi-
ton of the cars in the home of the rolling
exposition will give 10 the Eastern people
much greater confidence in the representa-
tions of the agents who accompany the
cars on their Eastern tour, Naturally the
visitor to the exhibition in Iowa, or New
York, or Virginia, will be impressed by
the fact that we have not feared to first
submit the exhibits to Eastern visitors in
the section where the fruits and other
articles were produced, and where the OPP
pcrtunity is open to detect whether there
is any deceit in the matter.
