AN APPALLING SITUATION.
A Heartrending Example Of the Suffering
In the Interior ofltaly.


In the Interior of-ltaly.
The New York Suns Rome correspond
ert writes that order has been nominally
restored in Italy and Sicily, but it is
doubtful ii permanent peace can be Sc
cured. The troubles will probably recur
rs soon as the extra troops are removed.
1 he only chance of pacifying the people
is by establishing relief works, but the
government is in such sore financial
,traits that the money cannot be spared,
though their cost would enable consid-
,rable reduction in military expenditure.
Things will doubtless improve in the
sYring, but meanwhile the poverty and
tufferings of the populace are simply ap-
palling. Misery reigns everywhere, and
in thu renoter rural districts men, wom-
en- and children are dying daily of actual
hunger.
An idea of what is going on in the in
terror of Italy may be gathered from the
fact, officially admitted, that 200 per-
sons, the entire population of the village
of Roghudi Calabria. suddenly arrived
at Cittanoya on Tuesday, ragged and
shoeless, the younger men carrying the
old folks and the women their children.
Many We're in pitiable state of exhaus-
tion. Several women had dead children
in their arms and two or three old men
had died on the way. They declared
that they had left the village because un-
less they left they would die of starva-
tion. There was not a scrap of food in
the place when they left, and nothing
was growing on the land.

in some quarters of the world that if the
people in those quarters had any sense
they would be deferred from marrying

A DISASTROUS CONFEDERATION
The Factory of Bishop & Co.
Is Destroyed.
A 100000 Fire Early Yesterday
Evening.
The Fire Thought to Have Originated
From . Defective Flue-Losses
Probably Covered by
Insurance.

A $40, 900 FIRE ACQUIRED at $3.50 O'Clock
last evening when the large two-story
brick building OF Bishop & Co., the fruit
preservers, crystalizers, confectioners
and wholesale cigar dealers, at Seventh
and Alameda streets, was almost de-
stroyed.
The fire broke out In the southwest
corner of the roof of the factory and was
discovered by Frank Hester, the watch
man. At that hour there was no one 10
the building except Mr.. Hester and the
forewoman, Miss Kohl, the employees
having gone home.
Mr.. Hester, upon seeing the fire, made
good use OF the patent extinguisher, but
the flames spread rapidly among the
dry roof timbers. He gave an alarm
upon seeing that his attempts to ouench
the fire were futile and the department
responded to call from box 72. En-
gines No, 2. 8 and s, hook and ladder
company No. l, hose company No. and
chemical engine No. l, were soon at the
scene. By this time the fire mad almost
covered the whole roof and it blazed as
vhOuSd thC ChbAtC Wap NVOAhOSA
to destruction.
Three steady streams of water were
turned into the roaring mass OF flames
and it was fully an hour before the fire
was knocked completely out. The whole
roof fell In and every thing on the second
floor was destroyed. 1t is thought the
large stock of confectionery, ETC., on the
first floor is utterly ruined by water.
The machinery, confectionery, nuts,
crystaized fruits, cigars. bakers cup
plies, etc., with all furnishings, amount
ing to $4,000, are badly damaged and
most of them destroyed.
Messrs. Bishop & Co. mad just added
valuable new machinery to the factory.
which covered nearly half block of
territory. The loss will figure up
$4,000 on stock. fully covered by in
surance. The insurance on the stock
was handled through Louis f. Vetter in
the following companies for the amounts
given: London Assurance Corporation
OF London, $4,000; Northern Assurance
company of London and Aberdeen, Louis
F. Vetter, agent, $4,000; Atlas Assur-
ance company of London, Walton &
Wachtel, agents, $4,000; Commercial
Union Assurance company OF London,
Kremer, Campbell & Co., agents, $4,000;
Manchester Assurance company OF Man
chester, w. j. Brodrick, agent, $500;
Phoenix Insurance company of Hartford,
Scott & Whitaker, agents. $4,000.
The factory building was owned by j.
B. Lankershim and was partially in
sured.
The FIRE probably originated from
defective fue.
Mr.. Bishop stated last night that the
firm carries full and complete stock OF
goods in the salesrooms on Los Angeles
street, and that the fire would not inter-
fere with the supply OF stock. The
warehouse on San Pedro street is also
we'll stocked. The firm will at once erect
a temporary factory, whereby its GUS
toners will not be Inconvenience by
the disastrous occurrence.

PRATTLE FROM PLATT.

Like Kinney.

The School Board Secretary Does Not
Like Kinney.
Secretary II. P. Plat of the board of
education is evidently not satisfied with
the grand jury's method of doing bus
iness.
Mr.. Platt has drawn up letter ad-
dressed to the people of Los Angeles in
which he says:
Now that the grand jury has ad-
journed and during their sessions they
have seen fit to attack the board OF edu-
cation and besmirch the character of
certain members of the board, it will be
proper to chow to the people of the city
OF Los Angeles the method in which q
certain member of the grand jury, and
who was intact the prime mover against
this board, used his power to endeavor
to secure evidence.
"Mr. Abbot Kinney came to my Office,
room rs city hall. about the third day of
May, where | am acting in an official
capacity, and endeavored to intimidate
me into telling what he presumed knew
against members of this board.
II replied That did not know any
thing;' he then laid particular stress
uPOu tuo ihCb tuAt tilo St1nQ jury hhu
indicted an employee of the sheriff's
office and said that they would do the
same with me, and insisted upon my
telling something that l did not know
anything about.
II told him that was willing to 20
before the grand jury and answer any
questions that they may put to me. and
when was before them they did not ask
me any of the questions that were asked
of me by Mr.. Kinney in my private
Office. which shows that they were of a
private nature with him.
'The grand jury had detectives en-
ployed to do such work as Mr. Kinney
did and | consider it very small piece
OF business on the part OF a member of
the grand jury to act the part of de-
tective and try to intimidate one into
lying.
This statement lie not made upon the
solicitation of any member OF the board
but without fear on the part Of myself"

two decks, and tore them to pieces as

OF the members OF the club, and who

Judge York Renders = Decision In a
Pomona Appeal Case.

Judge York Renders Decision In a
Pomona Appeal Case.
Judge York yesterday affirmed the
judgment of the recorders court of
Pomona in the appeal case OF John L.
Overtion va. John @. Cline as sheriff,
and others in accordance with an opin-
ion fled by him. Some law points of
interest were discussed by the court.
The plaintiff appealed from a judg-
ment OF the recorders court OF the city
of Pomona on questions of law alone.
The question involved in the case was
whether a certain horse and buggy
taken by the defendant sheriff from the
plaintiff by virtue OF an execution was
exempt from execution under the pro-
visions of section 800, @. @. z. The evi.
dence showed that at the time the exc
cution was levied the plaintiff was en-
gagged in the business OF buying and
selling real estate, insurance soliciting
and loaning money for patrons in part
nership with another. He had few
town lots planted to fruit trees, which he
cultivated, and had also about three
.fourths OF an acre in barley. He used
the horse some in cultivating this land,
but principally in his other business.
He did not do personally all the work
necessary to cultivate and care for said
land, and the crops thereon, and all his
farming operations were insignificant in
comparison with his other business and
capable of producing but little profit.
He derived his support principally from
his other business.
The plaintiff claimed exemption on
the grounds that he was using the prop
erty in farming and that he was 8
laborer and habitually earned his living
by the use OF labor. In order to estsb-
lish his claim to exemption, the plain
tiff had to establish that he was a farmer
at the time of the levy, and Judge York
holds that he was not at that time doing
sufficient tilling OF the soil to constitute
him one. The court alec, after quoting
a mum Der of authorities as to the def
milton of a laborer. holds that the plain
tiff was not laborer, and affirms the
Judgment OF the recorders court.

An Important Meeting to Be Held on
Tuesday.
The Associated Charities will hold
mass meeting on Tuesday evening. June
II, in Music hall, South Spring street,
for the purpose OF bringing more fully
before the public the great needs that
exist in Los Angeles at this time. The
demands upon the society are very great
and are not diminishing ION the contrary
many of the most distressful cases are
just coming to the surface, reports of
families without food or clothing COM
ing almost daily, men begging for
work or bread and must be fed.
For the past three weeks the daily
average calls upon the society have
been eighty-seven and so far have in
nearly every instance been proven needy
and we trustworthy. but in such crisis
as this there must be broad margin,
the needs of the case being the criterion
to go by. The meeting is for the pur-
pose OF discussing this important matter
and to if possible devise ways and means
for the relief necessary at this time; and
it is to be hoped that every person inter
ested in charity work or in the welfare
of their less fortunate brothers and sis
ters will make their plans so that they
can and will be present at this meeting.
