BARWICK'S WEATHER REPORT.
Ripening Fruits Being Rushed Rap
idIY to the East.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 6.-Drector Barwick OF
the State Weather Service in his crop report for
the week ending August 6 summarizes as fol-
lows: The average weekly temperature was
For San Francisco 5S, Red Bluff "a, Eureka
66 and San Diego Sc. As compared with the
normal temperatures heat deficiencies occur In
the coast counties from San Francisco SOUTH
being deficient deg. at San Francisco at
Los Angeles and at San Diego, while the in
terror of the State shows an excess of heat
above the normal Of / deg. at Red Bluff at
Sacramento and at Fresno, Eureka on the
northern coast having a normal temperature.
The heat deficiencies reported from Southern
California appear TO be good for growing crops,
while ii keeps back the large apricot crop from
rlpening faster than it can be handled by the
local dryers. The slight excess of heat in the
great valleys of Central California Is rapidly
bringing forward TO maturity the later fruits
and also hops. the latter now being picked in
Sacramento and Huba counties, the first bale
shipped being from the former county. Next
week VIII see general hOD-picking, and peach
picking Will also be In full blast, but hops will
not be picked in SOnOma or MendoeiuO coun-
ties for some time yet
The grain crop is about all harvested except
In scattering places In the valleys and the gen
eral output is a pretty fair average crop.
Grapes are rlpening much earlier than last
season and II the raisin grape will be ready for
drying that much earlier than usual IL Will give
the ra1sln-paekeTS greater expectation of
good raIsin-curing weather. Fruit is still being
rapidly rushed eastward, the railroads being
almost blocked with fruit trains. The highest
and lowest temperatures were 12O at Huron,
Fresno County, and At at Santa Clara, Santa

RATHER SMALL BUSINESS,
Partisan Politics Creep Into the
Department of Mr.. BiSselI.


Department of Mr.. BisselI.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.-The speech of
Representative Linton of Michigan on
sectarian Indian schools has brought out
much correspondence with the postoffice
departments as to its circulation as q
franked document. Linton recently re-
ceived word that the Postmaster at Foot
Vile, Wis.,, declined to receive the speech
Cd the ground that it was sent in bulk and
could not afterward be separated for mail
ing to individuals. The Congressman pro-
tested to the Second Assistant Postmaster
General, who directed the Postmaster to
handle the speeches. Later the Postmas-
ter was notified by First Assistant Post
master General Jones not to handle the
speech on the ground that it contained
printed advertising matter. This matter
appeared on the last page and was the i'm
print of the printer and the label showing
that union printers had done the work.
Linton protested to the department, citing
the fact that the speeches of many promi-
nent Senators and members were going
through the mails with the prin ter's i'm
print and the union label. He also stated
that in case his speech was denied access
to the mails he would protest against the
mailing of speeches by Senator Crisp and
Chairman Wilson bearing similar i'm
prints. AS result of the protest the de-
partment ordered the speech admitted to
the mail pending an investigation of the
alleged advertising matter.

tween working in the hay-feldS. mackerel-

BY and by MIR. Delmas got to business.
You say you have testified as an ex-
pert?" he asked.
Yes. l testified in the Dana will case
also in the WeSter field case in Nevada
City"
Let me see." mused Delmas. "You
said the Dana will was forgery, did you
not?" However, an objection to this ques-
ton was sustained by Judge Coffey.
Now, YOU testified that in your opinion
this first will was forgery. Do you say
so now?"
II did not so testify" was the answer.
Judge Coffey read from his notes and al
tempted to convince the witness that he
had so testified, but Young was obdurate,
and on reference to the shorthand reporter
1t was found that the witness was right.
He had simply expressed doubts"
WELL" agreed Mr.. Delmas, ''yuu saw
you have doubts. Now. what are they ?"
The witness said he must needs have an
other examination before deciding On
Delmas asking him why he declined to as
sumo the first will was genuine when his
own counsel admitted it as such, the wit
ness replied: 81 didn't care what he as
sumed, as l thought l had something to
say about it"
Young was then asked why he objected
TO the first will and in reply drew a num-

sHoRTRIDGE WAS ANGRY.
A Lively Argument Before the SUI
preme Court.

The dignity of the Supreme Court was
somewhat disturbed yesterday afterno on
by passage of hot words between At
torneys ShOrtridge and Watts. The JUS
tices frowned darkly for some moments
and the attorneys quieted down to digni-
fed argument.
The occasion for the ruf1e of legal tenn
pers was the hearing of an appeal styled
the Peoples Home Savings Bank against
Department of the Superior Court. The
appeal involves indirectly the attorney
ships of Delmas 81 Shortridge and Mr..
Watts for the bank in question. The deci-
sion will hinge on the legal stains of the
new board Of directors elected July and
its authority 10 appoint or employ another
attorney. Mr.. Watts, in the course of his
argument. referred to R. 81. Mcdonald Jr.
as 1.-THE chief conspirat0r in the wrecking
of the bank"
81 deny that" said Mr.. Shortridge, leap
ing to his feet. 'the chief conspirator has
not yet been dragged out"
HE is under four indictments, and be
has not denied the charge of guilt" Mr..
Watts retorted.
That has nothing to do with the case at
bar. We are not trying Mr.. Mcdonald in
this court" returned MIR. Shortrldge
Mr.. Watts muttered something that was
scarcely audible, and proceeded with his
argument.
At the opening of the case Mr.. PaImer's
assistant to Receiver Sheehan was called
In with documents, including the bank
stockboOk and the minutes of the meeting
of stockholders. at which time the new
board of directors was elected. He testi-
fed to the transfer of certain stock be-
tween July 8 and July 6, during which
time he acted as secretary.
Mr.. Shortridge criticized the minutes
because they were written on ordinary
foolscap paper and tackled together. Mr.
Palmer admitted that they had never been
entered on the Iunute-bOOk.
Mr.. Shortridge brought out the fact th at
proxies bad been voted by men who
owned no stock in the bank, and held that
this was contrary to the bylaws of the
corporation. and therefore the election was
void. S. a. Mcdonald, who claimed to be
a director, has no stock in the bank. At
the meeting which elected the new board
the stock book had been called for, but was
not produced. This fact was drawn from
Mr. Palmer.
The case was argued at length during
the afternoon and authorities were cited
and statutes were read. The court did not
reach decision yesterd ay. esssN

Thereupon Grove l.. johnson took upon
himself TO produce letter after letter, ex-

witness received each paper it was no.
tlced that he continually pulled at his fore
LOCK, sailor fashion, as one in doubt and
dire perplexity. Some indistinct Durmur-
lngs were heard, which, being translated
by the shorthand reporter, was under-
stooG to convey that the expert had not nad
time to study documents very closely. In
fact, a great many he had only barely
glanced at
Grove johnson showed Mr.. Young
every kind of exhibit, in order to refresh
his memory. For instance, he showed him
a letter supposed to have been written by
Henry Martin TO his friend Sergeant, Feb
ruary "A, 1898; also the letter supposed TO
have been written by the deceased 10 MS
sister-in-law on the same date. and third
letter to Mrs. r. Ii. Hawley, daIed Febru-
airy 49, 1898. just two weeks before Mar
tins death.
After putting before the witness q
whole heap OF exhibits on either side and
receiving assurances that all had been,
partially at least, examined. Grove john
son asked the following question ::
Assuming ali the exhibits shown to and
examined by you, leaving out the letters

addressed to Dear Belle Assuming what
l have said to be the case, is that letter in
the handwriting of Henry Martin ?"
Expert Young looked a bit confused.
He scratched his head for while and
then said, "Would you mind saying that

Meeting of Many Angry
Bank Depositors.
Attorneys Watt and Shortridge Argue
and Fire Hot Words i'm the
Supreme Court.

About five hundred depositors of the
Peoples Home Savings Bank met at 102
OFarrell street last night. There was
much discussing of the situation. which
Mr.. Hutton, chairman of the committee of
seven, said looked very gloomy indeed.
He did not think it would brighten unless
something aggressive should be done at
once.
The meeting finally decided to do some
thing. But there were SO many different
opinions floating around among the as
sembly that it required much arguing on
every proposition before anything like
unanimity could be reached.
The action of the meeting was somewhat
hampered by the absence or Secretary
Pike of the committee. He has in his pos
session considerable correspondence that
has been carried on between the commit
tee, Mr.. Sheehan and the board OF direc-
tors. This correspondence was desirable
in order to show the alleged manner in
which Mr.. SheeEan and the board of di-
rectors have ignored all propositions
tending to bring some slight relief to de-
positors and the unconstitutional bank.
The committee had formulated plan Of
economy which it had hoped to submit for
action. This plan was to move the bank
into cheaper quarters, sell the fixtures AID
sate-depost boxes and retire from the pay
roll at least two lawyers and one clerk.
Mr. Hutton stated that efforts had been
made to arrange a meeting between the
board of directors, the Bank Commission
ers, Mr.. Sheehan, the Acknowledgement,
and the committee Of seven. There had
been some correspondence on the subject.
