CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
A Reasonable Demand at Fair Prices
in the East.


in the East.
A. B. Miner. formerly president of the
San Jose Canning Company and the Col
ton Packing Company. and who is now
handling California fruits in Chicago. is
at the Palace Hotel. Mr. Miner has been
identified with horticultural interests in
this State as a grower, shipper and packer
for fifteen years and is still the owner of a
fruit ranch in the southern part of the
State.
considering the general market there
is very good demand at fair prices for
California fruits ia Chicago" said MIR.
Miner last night. "Some of last seasons
crop is still on hand, but is gradually
being worked off. l have no doubt that
the whole of this seasons product will be
disposed OF, provided the growers will
accept a reasonable price for their fruit.
"Can they sell at profit? Well. you
know no one is making any money this
year, and If a man in any business can
hold his own, clearing expenses, he may
consider himself fortunate. The fruit
producers of California must recognize
the situation and regulate their prices
accordingly. If they will sell according to
the times there is no question that the
entire output of California will be sold.
Every industry must expect to have an
of year occasionally. and horticulture is
no exception to the general rule. The
reasonable way to face the situation is to
take the best price offered and prepare for
better times next season."

finishes the side, and with sharp edged
tool the polished cutting at the sides OF the
band is performed. Then on another
lathe it is placed in hollow block and the
inside FURNISHED. All the oil and dirt are
then removed. and the tnimble is polished
and made ready for the market Thin bies

The spirit and intent OF the alien aon-
tract labor law is to exclude foreign skilled
artisans from coming here and competing
with home labor in work that can be done
by citizens just as efficiently as by aliens,

THEY WILL REGISTER.
Thought the Chinese VIII Comply
With the New Law

Commissioner Miller. of the internal reye-
nue. bureau. said to Star reporter that he
did not anticipate any further trouble In the
execution of the registration provision of
the Chinese exclusion law. The time al
lowed for registration will expire MAY 8.
The commissioner is of opinion that nearly
all Chinese entitled to that privilege will
take advantage of it in ample time to per-
NIT their continued residence In the United
states without further interference from the
authorities. Mr.. Miller said that reports re-
eeived from collectors OF internal revenue
INDICATED brisk business in the registra-
ton OF Chinese, and showed clearly to his
mind that the Chinese had abandoned their
original purpose of evading the law That
purpose was based on the theory that the
1edry law was unconstitutional This
theory was upset by the decision of the
United States Supreme Court in a test law
lClly sustaining the legality of the law The
subsequent amendment of the law extended
the time for registration under the terms of
the law to May 3. Commissioner Miller
says that the Chinese now show a general
Willingness to comply with the terms of the
law, and he predicts that all Cinnamon en-
utled 10 that privilege will be registered
"ithin the time allowed by law.

sticks to the Reins.

The police patrol wagon Of the eighth
precinct went to the scene Of the fire at
Takoma Park this morning. carrying a
number of police officers. who did oil In
their power about the burned buildings
On the return trip. some distance this side
of Brightwood, the horse became frightened
at the ringing of a bell on one Of the elec-
trio cars and ran away. Policeman Slater
was driving at the time, but he was un-
able to manage the fiery animal. Three c.
the officers who jumped from the wagon,
Messrs. ]. F. Bruce, +. b. Kelly and r. f.
Lee. sustained slight injuries, although
Officer Kelly sustained an injury TO the
skull which may cause trouble for him.
Officer Slater. who had charge OF the
wagon, held the reins and did not leave his
post until ne was pulled from his seat
Then he was dragged a long distance by
the runaway animal and the result is that
he is now confined to his bed. Both legs
were badly injured by being dragged and
hands.
The Injured.
The four officers were taken to the Emer-
geney Hospital. where the physicians at
tended them. Oficers Bruce and Lee. who
were only slightly injured. were able to re
turn to the station and Officer Kelly was
sent home. Officer Slater was too badly in
jured TO be removed and SO he was kept at

IN MIR. MARTINS HONOR.
A Banquet Mt Charlottesville, Which
He May Not Attend.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 29-The demo-
Gratis of Albemarle county, the home of
United States Senator-elect Thos. s. Mar
tin, have arranged an elaborate reception
to be rendered IN honor of that gentleman
tonight at Charlottesville. The jolliIica zion,
as it is called, will consist of a parade, mu-
sic and speaking. A speech Will be made
by Senator John W. Daniel, and Senator
Hunton and several Virginia Representa-
tives are also expected to be present.
The committee appointed by the general
assembly to formally notify Mr.. Martin of
his election had decided to take this occa-
sion to perform the duty, but the indica-
tions now are that Mr.. Martin himself can
not be present, owing to the illness of his
mother and sister The former, il is said
is in critical condition.
The people of Albemarle have prepared an
elaborate program, and even IL the prin-
cipa1 IL absent ii will be carried out
The democrats of the city are endeayor-
ing to make the Inauguration of Governor
elect OFerrall on Monday next one of the
most imposing ceremonies of the kind ever
held in the state. An elaborate program
has been prepared, and several men of ma
ticnal reputation have been invited to at
tend. among them Vice President Steven
son and Speaker Crisp. Both of these gen.
tlemen are expected to be present.

TARIFF TACTICS.
What Democrats Who Do Not Like
the Bill Propose.
AN EFFORT TO RECOMMIr IT
Populists to Meet in Caucus
Tonight.
DIVIDED IN SENTIMENT

There is a scheme on foot now to at
tempt to recommit the Wilson tariff bill
TO the ways and means committee. Those
democrats who are greatly dissatisfied with
the Wilson bill and have been endeavoring
10 get together strength enough to amend
1t in the House find that their efforts in
that direction are liable to be unavailing
for the reason that republicans will not
vote with them for amendments to restore
protection in special cases. The democratic
kickers. therefore, have been trying to de-
wise some other means of accomplishing
what they want. and their plan now Is II
they can get sufficient number of their
colleagues to join with them to vote to re-
commit the bill The republicans, it is be-
Heved. would vote solidly for this PROPOSE
uon and serious effort to bring about
the recommItment of the measure is being
made II does not seem probable that the
effort Will succeed, but If it should it would
be disastrous to the measure
Popu1ists to Caucus.
The populists Of the House and Senate
are to hold caucus tonight at the rooms
or Senator PETER to determine upon the
course they will pursue with relation to the
tarin fight. Most OF the populists are free
traders. though. as the populists are free
say, there is still little of the poison of
art
The populists of the House. under the
leadership OF Jerry Simpson, are in favor
OF voting for the Wilson bill or for any
other measure which makes a reduction of
uutleS under the present law and can be
construed to be step toward free trade
Ine senators, however. advocate a different
policy. holding that 1t would be very much
peter TO permit the present law to stand
tnan 10 have in its place a measure which
would be regarded probably as initiative
toward free trade. but which would be es-
sentlally unsa tsfactory to the free traders
themselves. The Senators propose there
fore. that all the populists in Congress
should join in an effort to obstruct the
passage OF the Wilson bill and to defeat 1t
II possible. The question will be gone over
thoroughly at the caucus at Senator Pef-
fers tonight with view of securing har-
monious action 1t is not improbable that
the upshot of this will be that they will
agree to offer a substitute for the Wilson
Dill and, voting for that, antagonize the bill
Ihey may introduce measure which will
provide for the gradual extinction Of all
customs duties, with a cut of 5 or 10 per
cent year until all the duties are abolish
ed.

NUMBERS, NOT AREA,
To Be Considered I'm Permit for Al
baugh's Proposed Theater.

A very important opinion was rendered
today by District Attorney Thomas bearing
directly upon and of especial interest to
all concerned interested in the Albaugh
Opera House controversy. 1t touches on
various points and reads az follows:
BY your letter of the 27th instant you
submit two questions for my opinion:
'First-Whether majority OF the resi-
dents and owners Of property referred to
in paragraph %. section 10. Of the building
regulations of the District of Columbia
means majority in number as distinct
owners OF property or a majority of owner
ship as to area, or a majority Of ownership
to value.
"Second-whether lots running through
from New York avenue to H street in
square 251, on which there are buildings
whose main front is on New York avenue
are conIronting property with reference to
square ~, under paragraph 26 of section
ID OF the building regulations
Il have carefully considered these Ques-
tions and in answer to the first one have
the honor to state that the phrase a ma
5ority Of the owners of property contained
in paragraph 26, section 10, of the building
regulations, means majority of the per-
sons owning property and not a majority
in ownership as to area or q majority OF
such ownership as to value.
In answer to your second question, 1
have the honor to say my opinion IS that
lots in square 25l which extend through
n
stitute confronting property under the reg
ulation, with reference to the south side OF
square 25U but 1 doubt whether residents
In square Isl whose houses front on New
York avenue can be said to be residents of
the square confronting the south side of
square $50 within the true meaning and
intent OF the regulation.
I'm reference to your first question, the
regulation requires the consent OF residents
and owners OF property. A similar pro-
vision Is contained in the present LIQUOR
law, which was repealed March I. Under
both the old and the new liquor law IL was
only necessary for an applicant for a license
to get the majority of persons owning real
estate and residents keeping house, when
whereas in the statute in regard 10 opening
alleys and making other public improves.
ments where consent is required, IL is speci-
fed In the law that the persons consenting
or requesting the alley, &c., in order to
give the municipal authorities Jurisdiction
to act, must represent at least one-half of
the area OF the square, &c: but ii is un-
necessary to discuss the question further
since the meaning OF the regulation is plain,
and the language employed excludes the
idea that area or value is to be considered
in making up the required majority

"A AsSAo"hcu anu Sn0rp Tnte1 Breaks
Jail and IL Wanted.
Postmaster General Bissell has author
lied the offer of $500 as reward for the
capture of Prentice Tiller alias Charles H.
Price. a convict who escaped from the pen
itentiary at jackson, Mich, on or about
May To- Tiller was serving a sentence of
seven years for forgery. His legitimate oc-
cupation was that Of a clerk. His criminal
record is that of a letter-box robber, forger
and all-round thief. He is white and was
born and reared in Louisville KY He is
about thirty-three years old. Tiller began
his career as a professional criminal about
twelve years ago. when he was a trusted
employe of the United States Express Com
pany at st. Louis, Mo. He stole 100000
from that company, was arrested at De-
troit. Mich, and all but $4,000 was recov-
cred. He was sentenced to the penitentfary
at Jefferson City, Mo-, for a term of seven
years. All paying tellers of banks should
be on the lookout for this man, and should
carefully scrutinize any checks presented
which have the words "or bearer" written
on the face. The plan Of Tiller is to steal
genuine checks from letter boxes and then
add the words quoted. He also raises the
sum by using erasve fluids.

An Indian Decisson Held Tn.

Secretary Hoke Smith has directed that
all action be suspended for thirty days.
under the recent decision in the case OF
Black Tomahawk against Jane waldron.
The decision held in effect that the daush-
ter Of a white man, a citizen of the United
States and an Indian woman, his wife, is
citizen Of the United States and not an
Indian. and hence is not entitled to an al
lotment OF land made to Indians. This de-
among them being the validity OF the great
Sioux agreement as well as the integrity
OF annuity rolls and rights under appro-
priations for the support OF Indian schools
Owing to these vast interests the Secretary
has determined to look further into the
matter.
