NO HONEY THIS YEAR.
BEEMEN ARE HAVING A VERY BAD
SEASON.
One-Haif the swarms VIII DIE Out by
Another Year, They Have
Nothing to Live
Upon.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Los Angeles County Beekeepera' asso-
citation was held yesterday at the board
of trade rooms on Broadway. In the ab-
sencs OF the president. James James was
elected in his place temporarily. Sew
eral interesting papers were read on the
subject Of handling bees, particularly at
this season when such disastrous results
are being experienced by beekeepers
generally.
N. LeverinQ, this editor OF the Guilt
vator and Poultry Keeper, said to q
HERALD reporter that it would be the
most disastrous season ever experienced.
Not pound OF honey would be made in
Southern California, and the bees would
not even make enough honey to feed
themselves. Fully one-half the bees
would die before another season.
During the meeting Mr.. Jones pre-
sented his method OF feeding bees. This
being a very unusual season he had fed
about 80 awarms, using 18 cans of honey
and five of syrup. He had used invert-
ed glass jars or tin cans, closed by per-
forated block of wood. through which
the bees reach the honey.
G. w. Brodbsck had used cans through
which he had driven nails, the honey
dripping through the holes and down the
nails was taken by the bees very easily.
He had also used shallow dish covered
with cheesscloth.
Mr.. Brodb also showed the working
of the Miller feeder. which he had in
vented. He sketched the outline of this.
but did not think 1t very profitable for
Southern California. 1t was thought ii
we had early rains there would be but
little necessity of feeding bees after the
lat OF January. The eucalyptus was
suggested as being an excellent food for
bees--the variety known as the sugar
eucalyptus. which blooms in August and
Septem Der. This year it has proved a
very valuable thing for early feeding.
Mr.. Leverng suggested that the bee
men plant this tree about the apiaries,
which would be OF great advantage. Mr..
Levering said he had been making this
thing study. and few people knew OF
the early blossoming of these trees.
Mr.. Squires showed how beneficial
bees were in fertilizing fruit, and argued
that those who objected to bees when
drying fruit or when it was ripening did
not take into account the benefta they
had derived from the bees in fertilizing.
The new disease of the bees was also
discussed. Mr.. Brodbeck thought the
disease was produced by starvation. 1t
was also possible the queen bee was de-
fective and the larvae had not been per-
fectly fed. Feeding was very impor-
tant factor.
Mr.. Hart. who had 1000 stands OF bees,
had been greatly troubled with the dis
ease. He found it everywhere through
the county. 1t decreased in hot weather.
1t was suggested that bee paralysis is
contagious, and that it is q serious thing
to the beekeepers.
In Soledsd csf1on and around Eliza
beth lake and all over the county this
disease is found. No one seems to be
able to define the GAUGE of this disease OF
to be able to find the cure. The NEST
of the time was taken in discussing this

A PERSISTENT BURGLAR.
HE KEPT AT THE BUSINESS A
WEEK TOO LONG.
How Charles Weldon Got Into the Tells
Again for Committing Three
Burgiarles Guilt
Admitted.

Charles Emery Wilson has proven
himself to be one of the most persistent
burglars that ever gave the police any
trouble. Acquitted by msrs accident
OF the charge Of robbing Policeman
McGraw's room, he resumed his old
time tactics and went at the business
again on larger scale. Weldon was
prosecuted for the first burglary under
the name of Charles Emery. He is said
to be a noted crook, and ia wanted in
Portland, Bakersfield and other places,
if the stories in the possession of the
police are true.
Weldon came to Los Angeles ak
months ago, the most of which time
since he has spsnt in jail. He is appar-
entity an educated young man. and as he
faced Justice Austin in the police court
yesterday. signs of remorse and regret
o'erspread his countenancs. Weldon
has admitted the crime OF several burg
laries, and says that from this time for
ward he will lead different life.
He was arraigned ON two charges OF
burglary yesterday. The frat one WAS
for robbing Harry Siegel, the halter, of
$500 in money and iswelry at Santa
Monica Sunday week ago. The second
was for stealing a watch at the same
time and place, belonging to John J.
Boyle OF San Fernando street. Another
charge filed against him wac the larceny
OF a lady's gold watch, stolen from the
pocket of Frank Savage in room "a of the
lodging house at 1887 South Los Angeles
street.
Detectives Goodman and Bosqui
worked hard on all three Of the cases,
and traced the theft to yonng Weldon.
Detective Goodman recovered the bsoty
of two OF the robbsriss, and Detective
Bosqui found SiegePs jewelry at the root
of little tree on Central avenue, where
Weldon admitted he cached it. Much
credit is due the officers for the quick
work of recovering the property ana cap
turing the guilty person, one of the
eleverest burglars that ever followed the
vocation.
Weldon's examination on two OF the
charges was set for tomorrow at 8 80 and
10 O'Clock respectively. He will no
doubt be held to answer, and enter
plea OF guilty when the case comes up
for trial.

COMBINE OF WINEMEN.
Californians Favor Syndicate to
Regulate Prices.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The World Will
say Tomorrow: Several far-seeing Cali
fOrnians have lately taken steps to form
a wine syndicate to control and regulate
the price of products of the vineyard.
There are nearly 1000 acres of vines in
California. For six or seven years past
vineyards have produced yearly about
100000 gallons of wine in excess of the
demand. and prices dropped until it was
not profitable to pick grapes.
The firms in the syndicate are Arpad
HSrasZthy 81 Co., c. Carp e Co., K0hler
e Benson, KOhler & Fronting, the Napa
Valley Wine Company. B. Lachmann &
Co. and f. Dreyfus & Co. The World re-
porter asked Eugene j. Canters. Eastern

Hotel to-day, how the understanding
East would be affected by the formation
of a com bne.

but how about the prices here?"
The only sufferers in the East
are the dealers here who formerly
bought wine for 50 cents a gallon and sold
it for 81. Prices in California will be
increased very gradually. New Workers
will not suffer; table d'hote dinners will be
just as good and the claret will certainly
taste the better with the reflection that I'M
