NO FREE RIDE.
The Santa Fe Refuses to Carry I'M
employed Men.

NhPhOy
SAN BERNARDINo. Nov. 23--The COM
pany of forty unemployed men who
boarded the eastbound Santa Fe trains
last night at the depot in this city were
compelled by the presence and persuasion
of Sheriff Booth to desist from their at
tempts to force ride over that road. aud
they camped for the night on the depot
grounds.
This morning James Burns. railroad de-
tective, put in an appearance and got out
papers to forclbly evict them from the
railroad company's property, and in com
pany with Sheriff Booth proceeded to
serve papers; hut some one friendly to
the unemployed hal evidently antic patcd
them, as the officers found the camp de-
serted. and the men not to be found. Be-
fore leaving, they stated that they should
walk to the next station, Irvington. where
they would forcibly take possession of the
next eastbound freight and secure a free
ride to Barstow, where they have assur-
ance that the Atlantic aud Pacific will give
them free ride to Arizona. People in
Needles have generously offered to give
them plenty to eat when they arrive there.
In behalf of the men Sheriff Booth In
terceded with the officers of the road at
this end of the line to secure them a free
ride on the freight train, but the only con-
cession he was able to get was half fares
to BarstOw. Not having money. they were
compelled either to stay in this city living
on charity, or board the trains, having
work promised them in Arizona. They
took the latter course

PERMITTED NO DISCUSSION.
The Italian Chamber of Deputies
Breaks Up in a Row.

ROME, Nov. 23.-The Chamber of Depu-
ties reopened to-day. Signor lmbriani,
Radical leader. made violent speech
charging the ministry with leading Italy
upon the road to ruin, and offered to sup
port any motion whose object was the i'm
parchment of the Cabinet. The report of
the Bank Commission was read. Briefly
the report says the commission had no
documentary evidence of political simony
in the relations Of the bank with the Gov
eminent, but there had been systematic
disregard of order and regularity in the
action of the Government toward the banks
since 1880. The commission expresses
strong disapproval of the concealment of
substantial portion of Baigni's report on
the Banca Romano and animadverts upon
the fact that some of TanloDgo's seized
papers were withheld from the magistrates
who were deputed TO conduct an inquiry
into the criminal aspects of the bank
scandals. The reading of the report pro-
duced deep impression. but the president
refused to permit any discussion. and de-
clared the sitting closed amid Kisses, pro-
tests and general uproar.

SPOKANE. Nov. 23-A number of work.
ingmen had been expecting employment

were continued until Monday. Then the

then continued to the bank building of A.
Nj. Cannon, who is one of the owners of
the Spokane Water-power Company. and
who was suspected of getting out the in
junction.
BY this time the crowd had Increased 10

ORDER OF B'NAI BIRTH.
A Large Audience and Interesting
Programme Last Night.


The capacity of the B'nai Birth Hall
lacked the necessary elasticity to accom-
modate the crowd which assembled last
night to attend the entertainment ar
ranged by Unity Lodge No. 273 of the
Order of B'nai Birth.
In his opening address the chairman, L.
J. Wolfe, stated that the large attendance
would tend to encourage the order to con-
tinue the entertainments during the COM
ing winter months, and dwelt at some
length upon the patriotic and benevolent
features of the order and the work il was
accomplishing. He was followed by Z. NJ
Rosener in piano solos, after which Miss
Bessie Savannah gave dramatic sketch

programme. The speakers remarks were

Strong Resolutions Adopted Indoors.
ing the State Board of
Horticulture.

Los ANGELES, Nov. 23.-At the morn
ing session of the fruit-growers' conven-
ton resolutions Of coincidence were passed
upon the death of William T. Coleman.
The question OF olive culture without
the aid of irrigation was taken up, and
statistics were given by Mr.. Calkins of
Pomona showing its success.
Suggestions on Quarantine" very in
teresting paper by Alexander Crow. was
read by the secretary and the history of
orchard pests and dangers of their intro
duction carefully reviewed. 1t was sug-
gested that strict quarantine regulations
ana their vigorous enforcement by impOsi-
ton of penalties would stop the introduce
tion Of infected stock. Fumigation houses
should be erected at railroad stations, and
inspectors should operate under State laws.
Professor Crow urged that Congressman
be urged to work for the passage of gen.
eral Federal quarantine law against all
enemies of our fruit.
In the discussion which followed it was
brought out that new and alarming dis
ease known as root rust" has made its ap-
peaTance in the San Joaquin Valley, de-
stroyiDg some 1900 acres of prunes.
Resolutions asking the next Legislature
to appropriate not less than $4,000 for the

At the evening session papers on forestry
and irrigation were read.
The resolutions favoriug Government

over, TO be made special order at the
next convention.
The following resolution was unani-
mously passed:
WHEREAS, A studied and unwarranied at
tack has lately been made upon the State
Board OF Horticulture and particularly upon
the president and secretary by certain persons
who, by correspondence and otherwise, seek to
create the impression that the fruit-grOwers of
one section OF the State are inimical to the
board and Its officers. be 1t
Resolved, That this convention OF fruit grow
ers deplores the effort made to disturb the
harmony which has heretofore existed between
the board and ffuit-growers and between the
different sections OF the State. That this con-
vention emphatically denies that any antagon-
ism exists between the board ard fruit growers
of this State or any section thereof, but. on the
contrary. 1t declares It's entire confidence in
the Integrity OF the membrrs Of the board in
their knowledge of horticulture and In the i'm
partiality with which they have discharged
their onerous duties. That this convention
sincerely commends the board, and especially
the president and secretary, for the untlring
zeal displayed by them In fostering every in
terest OF horticulture confided TO their care and
that for tbs successful Introduction OF various
parasite insects into the State they deserve the
lasting gratitude OF the State.

FOR HER TRIAL.
The Cruiser Olympia Ready for Her
Great Race TODAY.

ureat Race To-Day.
SANTA BARBARA Nov. 23-The trip of
tine Olympia from San Francisco was most
successful. The machinery worked we'll
and without a break. When Santa Bar
bara Channel was reached this morning
the cruiser started at Point Conception
beacons. working to the western end of
the official cour Sc. over which she runs to-
morrow. and ran east against a current of
40 knots, making the 43 knots at an aver.
age speed of 1851 knots per hour, her en-
gines making Ola revolutions per minute,
with less than per cent slip of the pro-
peller. Horsepower developed at this
speed 1919.
The object of this run was to standard
ize the propeller slip at as near 80 rev0lu-
tions per minute as was possible. No at
tempt was made to show the maximum
speed or power at any time beyond the 80
revo lutions while going over the course
to-day. All the officers were practiced In
routine duties for to-morrow's official
trial. The arrangements for getting the
exact revolutions of the engines from the
deck at the same instant that the shore
marks are In line proved very satisfactory.
and photographs taken Of beacons or shore
marks show that they were absolutely In
line at the instant the time signals were
given.
Everyth ing having been perfected to-day
it is the intention of Irving NJ. Scott to
b ave the ship under steam at daylight and
end the trip before noon.

ordered TO draw $500 from the bank to nav

money of which he says he was robbed.
The members of his court and the officers
of the Grand Court are endeavoring to find
out what are the facts.
Subsidiary Hight Court Treasurer Boehm
has been inQuring into the matter. and
has learned that Budd drew the $500 from
the bank, and that his physician said he
had been struck on the head.
There are severa! things, however. that
members of the order, without lmputng
any dishonesty to Bud, wish explained.
For instance. though the alleged hold-uD

nouncement of the robbery was made to
the officers OF the order officially. but they
learned of it through the newspapers. 1t
Is also considered singular that his brother

person TO discover him after the assault.
BuddS version OF the affair is that be

soon after dark, intending to go TO the For

vacant lot he was held up by two men, one

THE BURNING SHIP.
The Gosford Will Undoubtedly Prove
Total Loss

SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 23.-The first
detailed account OF The burning of the ship
Gosford reached here late this afternoon.
when the tug Monarch returned from the
scene of the wreck with Third Officer
Walter Humphreys. the ok. steward and
thirteen seamen. The report that the ship
was scuttled and sank last evening is de-
MED by the men. They left Colo Bay at
noon today and the Quilted hull of the Cos
ford was still afloat. Her iron masis were
standing. Humphreys is of opinion that
the ship would be- total loss beyond what
the wreckers would get out of her.
The after cabin, officers quarters and
all above deck aft was DESTROYED when the
men left. and the fire was raging on the
fore part of the ship. The stores we're all
destroyed. The origin of the fire is at
lributed to spontaneous com bustion. al
though every precaution was taken TO pre-
vent such an occurrence and the cargo
kept we'll ventilated during the entire
voyage.
The men will be here until further or
ders. 1t is not yet settled whether the in
euiry will be held here or in San Fran
cisco. British Vice-Consul Mortimer of
Los Angeles is expected tomorrow. Other
officers and men were still at Colo at noon
to-day.
The latest news from the Gosford was
brought by the steamer Bonita, arriving
tonight. When the Bonita passed the
ship. at about three o'clock, the tug Fear.
less was alongside pumping the burning
ship full Of water with probability of ex-
tinguishing the fire. ALI above decks ex.
cept the masts had been burned.
