General Manager Wade of the South.
ern California railroad has interested
himself greatly in the proposed arrange
ment by which the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company was to be induced to have
its vessels stop at San Diego. He yes
terday received telegram from the
Santa Fe company's agents in Wash
ington, stating that under the mail con-
tract just concluded with the steamship
company, that port will be made regu-
lar stopping place.
HITCHCoCK's REPORT.
d. w. Hitchcock of the Union Pacific,
who has just returned to San Francisco,
said on Friday to Chronicle reporter
that the fall and winter tourists were
rushing into Southern California very
early this season.
"Those who are now coming" said
he, "are mostly New Englanders. The
hotels at Los Angeles and the seaside
resorts are filling up very rapidly, and
there will be an overcrowding down that
way unless some of the travellers come
up to this part of the state. Our road
is hauling many of these passengers
westward. They go down VIA Sacra-
mento, and if we could turn the tide
this way it would be good thing for
our hotel-keepers. Still Los Angeles is
deserving of their patronage, as it is also
worthy of success in many other ways.
1t is building fine houses, laying mag
nificent pavements, and has the best
system of electric railways that have
seen anywhere.
"There will be 500 to 800 more car
loads OF oranges to 60 out of Southern
California this year than last year, and
to haul the 5000 carloads that are now
predicted.
''rhe hotels at Santa Monica, Re-
dondo Beach and Long Beach are
thronged with fasteners. A Los An
many strangers in his town as there are
at present"
NOTES.
The transcontinental lines have
placed on sale winter tourist tickets at
reduced rates to California points. The
roads have put on sale at st. Louis one
way tickets at $42.56, with 1915 addi-
tional for a double berth through to the
coast.
The Atchison system is reported by
its officials to be in an easy financial
condition, owing to large earnings re-
Gently. 1t now has almost enough cash
on hand to meet it's full January inter-
est payments. All the expiring issues
of securities have been provided for.
This will be the most successful year in
the company's history.

THE FRUIT GROWERS UNION.
A Statement of Its Principles and
Purposes.

The Fruit Growers union has beer
the subject of much discussion pro and
con. In fairness in the matter, the fol
lowing extracts from circular recently
issued are given:
We are constantly asked such ques
tions as the following: "Will you guar
antee that | shall receive more for my
fruit by shipping through the union p
"What will gain by becoming a mem.
ber?" and others of the same tenor, all
looking towards some immediate and
direct gain to be received.
Such direct gain we cannot promise,
but the gain does come just the same.
We are working to the end that every
box Of fruit. packed in Southern Calfor.
MIA shall bring higher price; that
combinations and corners to your detri-
ment shall be an impossibility that our
rapidly increasing crop shall be .utel-
ligently directed and distri buted so that
gluts, with consequent disaster may be
avoided; that new and profitable mar
kets may be opened up and supplied
that home market may be created and
our free on board' sales be largely in
creased. Our energies will be especially
directed to attain this end, and every eff
fort will be made to sell as much as posi-
BILE of the crop right here at home, as we
wish to do only as much OF shipping
and commission business as is necessary
to work off the crop to advantage; and
finally, that there may be eliminated,
so far as can be done, the element of un-
certainty and speculation from the fruit
business. You must acknowledge that
the existence of the union is benefit to
you, for it benefits every grower in this
part of the state. You are benefited
whether you will or 40. The union
does not hand you out the money, but
you receive it just the same in the in
creased price OF your fruitin the market.
The union has been and ia the direct
cause of this increased price, and as we
say you are benefited, then it is not fair
or right for You to stand back and dc
nothing to help the source OF the bene-
fit you have received. Look at the mat
ter as we will, situated as we are, some
sort of cooperation is necessity to sue
cess in our business. Then we ask you
frankly to do your part. We have nc
wish or intention to make money out oi
you, but only want to make better
market and more profit for us all. We
have no desire to injure the business o
any one; we have nothing whatever tC
do with the business OF the middlemen
what we are striving for is to build up {
safe business for the grower.
Up to date there have been pledged tt
the union by its members, for the sea
sons shipment. $50 cors of oranges.

A Divorce Lawyer Wants One Him
self.

w. w. Holcomb is a divorce lawyer
of this city and has probably caused the
untying of more marriage knots than all
the rest of his fraternity in town. Now
he proposes to try some of his own med
icine, for he has filed complaint against
his wife, Mrs. Holcomb, asking that he
be granted divorce on the grounds of
extreme cruelty. The main allegation
in the complaint is that the defendant
made the statement to others that if he
(the plaintiff) was dead she would not
have to watch him all the time, end she
would then cease being jealous of him.
The allegations are also made that the
defendant assaulted and kicked plaintiff,
thereby injuring his person and his feel
ings.
The property is described as home
stead worth $4,000 and personal prop
erty, all OF which plaintiff is willing to
give to defendant.

ton to drop from the regular roll and keep
a separate list OF ministers who do not re-
port annually to their presbyteries
Adopted.
The report Of the committee on comfy
with other denominations, the special OBJ
ject of which is 10 prevent the organization
of rival churches in small communities, was
read by Ely of Iowa. 1t reports that such
comfy has done much good in recent years,
and recommended further effort in the
same direction.
1t was recommended that the propositions
of the last national council of the Cougre-
gational churches be acceded 10 in the fra
ternal spirit which has produced so much
benefit during recent years: also that the
committee be continued. Accepted and re-
ferred TO 4 special committee of church
unity.
The committee on judiciary made a report
in accordance with which several cases ap-
pealed to the assembly by parties to them,
were permitted. The case against the
presbytery of St. Paul came up and was
postponed for the present
The report of the committee on board of
publications was read by Dr. j. c. Butler
OF Brooklyn. Besides the central store in
fulauelpllld- IilcfS are eighteen Drdncn ue-
pOsitories. Much of its so-called capital is
unproductlve plates and printed copies of
literature for which there is little or no
sale, and the officers of several of our
boards are. given them free. We have not
over $500, 900 of working capital. A large
advance has been made in the amount of
work done by our 143 permanent and
student missionaries. They have organized
of new Sunday-schools more than tifty-two
each week on the average. Two Thousand
five hundred and siXty-seven schools were
visited and aided. GIL addresses were de-
livered, 81, 220 families were visited. The
miles of travel involved were 306.1l5.

1t was recommended that the assembly
resolve assuming that the recent agitation
has been only for the sake of Improvement,
that we affirm our confidence in the gentle
men composing the board of publication,
and thank them for their service upon it.
In view of the discussion which was GER
tain to arise in connection with this mat
ter, ii was postponed till next week.

DALLAS, Ten, May 30-The condition of
the waterworks reservoir is general
topic of conversation here to-day. and
many begin TO realize the fact that up
wards of $1,000 of the peoples money has
been foolishly expended, as it will be but a
question OF 4 short time when the entire
works will be utterly useless. To-day the
pumps are not at work and the city's re-
serve supply OF water is fast diminishing.

the city goes to work and constructs
reservoirs on high ground the better for the
taxpayers. Many thousands of dollars may
be expended and the reservoirs saved for
temporary use only, but it is exceedingly
doubtful if they be preserved TO do service
for years TO come. The city council meets
tonight and that body will probably taae
some action in the matter
NEAR DEATH.
A very small news boy this morning
came near meeting his death under the
wheels of an electric street car on Main
street He had boarded car for the pur-
pose OF seliing papers and when through

another moving car. He was knocked

and went off yelling morning papers, as
if nothing had happened.
HANDY WITH A PISTOL
For some time past the police officers
have been arreSting those caught jumping
on and OFF of moving trains in violation of
the city ordinance on that subject. A
couple of nights ago some colored men got
on q Texas and Pacific train for the purpose
OF riding out as far as the Santa Fe cross
ing. The porter on the train saw the men
and ordered them of. He then fired pis-
tol at the parties and ball hit one of the
men in the right hand. inflicting serious
wound. The porter's motive in shooting
the man is not known, unless he thought
he would ''be smart and play officer
