BROTHER JOHN WINS.
He VIII Administer the Estate of
the Late A. p. More.

The controversy over the administration of
the estate of the late Alexander z. More OF
Santa Rosa Island was decided in The Probate
Court yesterday.
More left 40 estate valued at 100000 ais
brother. John F. More, applied for letters of
administration, but his application was con-
tested by his sisters, Eleanor II. More and Mrs.
Elizabeth Miller. The contestants claimed that
John held partnership interests with his
brother and therefore was not competent per-
son TO distribute the property. Also, various
allegations were made against John More's
reputation.
The case occupied several days In discussion
and was finally submitted yesterday morning.
Judge Coffey, without any hesitation said that
he had heard no evidence OF any partnership
existing between John More and the deceased.
John had simply worked for his brother, that
all. Nor in the judicial estimation was
there any evidence to show that John More WAS
not a man of uDdOnbted iHtegri y. On these
grounds letters OF administration would be
granted to John +. More.
Attorney Arthur Rogers, who represented
John +. More, said afterward that the contest
had no grounds save that OF pure malice.

LOANS ON FRUIT.
How Small OrChardists
May Get Money.
Outline of the Principal Work for the
Directors of the State Fruit
Exchange.

There will be no unnecessary delay in setting
up State Fruit EXch nge AS voted by the
mass-conyentiOn OF fruIt-grOwers held on the
29th of last month at Pioneers Hall The
eleven directors chosen by the convention will
meet on the 10th inst. at the Ooms of the State
Horticultural Society TO incorporate under the
laws of The State and TO set the machinery IN
motion.
Edward f. Adams who was the prime mover
ana chief worker in building up The now
famous Santa Clara County Exchange. when
asked yes terday by CALL reporter what i'm
mediate steps the directors would probably
take, said It would be their duty 10 carry ont
the wishes of the convention as expressed by
the resolutions published in The CALL. He
then explained what, 10 his mind, was The main
work OF the directors.
They must arrange for local cooperative
warehouses" he ADDED. without these the
State Fruit Exchange, If ii does not die a-bOrn-
ing. can never be sustained. This Is HE only
way by which II VIII be possible 10 get money
enough to carry the truitgTOWer. Country
banks Will not make loans o The small grower
and accept Tor collateral security his fruit The
ffHit may deteriorate or spoil therefore the Sc
curly Is doubtful.
with a cooperative warehouse the security
is first class. A grower ships in carload Of
prunes, which are graded and a receipt Is given
10 him Tor 50 many pounds OF say hrst-claSs
prunes. This receipt is quite as good collateral
as a warehouse receipt Tor wheat, because the
warehouse Obligates Itself TO deliver not this
mans carload, but one carload OF frst-class
plunes. All the fruit brought in the ware
house is pooled, each grower getting his share
of the pool.
The principal good which must grow out OF
this arrangement Is that il will enable orchard
lists who are hard up to borrow enough money
to Tide themselves over until sale is ma0e al
market prices, and thus relieve themselves from
the necessity Of making forced sales, which al.
ways break the market.
ut goes without saying that the collection
and distribution OF Information concerning
crops and nj rkets will be undertaken and car
ried out in a thoroughly systematic manner
and there Will be such Widespread demand
for the bulletins that the expense TO the inGi
Ydual Orchardist will be tritiing.
Apart from the establishment OF co-Opera.
tive warehouses, The main new work for the
State Exchange Will be the eXteus on OF ouI

Mrs. COgeins had not offered me home.
L have lived here six years now, and they
have been the haupiest years of my life,

knew how late the good fortune had come.
Charles S. Wheeler aud John II. Boat,

Oakland authorities that certain contemplated

that there was some question about tn cIty

he SAID. would probably do something in the Way
OF direct relief to the needy very soon, but Just
what form the contribution would take had not
yet been decided. Mr.. Croker thinks the most
effective help that could be gwen the unem-
plOyed Is to place them In a position 10 help

The Southern Pacific Railroad Company Will

DAMAGES DENIED.
Sad Case of the Steward of the
Cakes.

Cakes.
Judge Morrow rendered his decision yester-
day in the case Of a. f. Payton, steward OF the
ship T. L. Cakes. for damages against f. W.
Reed, master of the same vessel for injuries
received from abuse Of The captain and the
mate of the Cakes on a voyage of that vessel
from New YOrk TO this port in 1892. On the
arrival Of the ship here no less than Twelve
Indictments were found against the captain
ana tWenIy-eight against the mate for cruelty
TO seamen on the high seas, but somehow all
the cases were dismissed.
PaytOn's case was the last of the lot and
Judge Morrow found that while the man will in
all pi disability be blind in one OF his eyes for
the rest of his life stu the evidence acduced
was not sufficient TO show that The Dealings
and maltreatmenJ which he received at the
hands of the captain and the mate on the vow
age mentioned, which were neither denied nor
justified. caused The injury which derived him
OF his sight, and in consequence damages are
denied him.

The Third ward. perhaps, furnished
the hottest fight OF all, Though it was by
no means the btterest. IL was the
Eighth ward which furnished the fight
that brought ont personalities in no
uncertain manner.
The Eighth was where Sheriff Cline
marshaIed his forces and fought per-
sonal warfare against ell the bitter an
tagonism that could be arrayed against
him.
On the other hand the First ward, in
East Los Angeles, furnished prim ary
more general in its interest and with
less of personalities in it than any other
held in the city yesterday. There was
not even @ recognizable fight over there
and, in fact, not much indication of any
boss's fine hand.
Down in the Seventh ward the con-
test for supremacy was tedious one.
but not ranoorous. George w. Knox
seemed to have matters pretty we'll in
hand there. Some claimed to be making
q fight against A. P. A.-ism, but the
A. P. AS kept pretty well under cover
II they were on the ground while the
voting was in progress.
The fight in the Filth was wild
enough, though quite clearly defined.
Frank Thomas and his legislative aspir-
ations were up to be shot at, but he had
his forces we'll in hand aud took prac.
tically every ything in sight.
One Of the peculiarities OF the day was
the number of carriages used. Never
before in the primaries have the voters
90 generally been treated to free drive
to and from the voting places.

NINTH WARD.
IL is very apparent that the Repub-

enamorsd OF oratory. At the caucus on
Wednesday evening Judge Varisl op-
posed the ticket nominated on the
ground that it did not number among
its personnel any takers, and suggested
his brother, Will Variel, eminently
available material. Yesterday repre-
sentatiyes of both factions were at the
polling place and Statesmen Rbeinchild
and Murray were on hand in charge of
the workers.
About half an hour after the polls
closed the result was Tailed and showed

only feature of this fight in this instance
was tne inability Of great many to
determine just which ticket the bosses
had put up. and in some instances to
