ORCHARD|STS' FRIENDS,
Quarantine Officer CraW Has
Been Distributing Lady,
birds.
Insects In the Pest-Infested
Orchards.

Alexander Craw, the quarantine officer
of the State Board of Horticulture, has
Just returned from the southern part of
the State,where he has be enfor the past five
weeks distributing black lady-birds. These
beneficial insects are the deadly foe of the
black scale that is doing so much damage
in the orchards in the coast counties es-
pecially.
The scale is of the lecanium family, and
came from Europe in infected plants. The
black lady birds were imported from Aus
tralia two years ago by Elwood Cooper,
whose orchard was nearly ruined by the
black scale. The two dozen ladybirds
increased at a marvellous rate, and soon
cleared Mr.. Cooper's trees of the pest. A
colony OF them was sent to E. w. Harold,
whose orchards are near Saticoy, Ventura
County.
1t was from Mr.. HaroId's place that Mr..
Craw has lust distributed nearly 800
colonies of insects. averaging fifty to a
colony, to as many orchardists in the State.
The reports received show that the LADY,
birds arrived in good condition and at once
attacked the black scale pests. Each
colony was accom- panied by instructions IS
to the care of the birds.
Mr.. Craw stated that the pest had oh
tanned a good hold in the orange orchards
of Los Angeles. San Bernardino. Orange
and Riverside counties. County Commits
sioner Scott in Los Angeles sent the insects
to all the infected places and then dis.
trlbuted colonies in the native trees in the
foothills. Now the trees, fruit and native
are practically free from the pests.
The black scale is not as destructive &C
the red or scarlet scale. The latter is not
molested by the black ladybirds, and an.
other variety has been imported for its do
structlon. AS an example of the benefit of
these ana similar insects Mr.. Craw stated
that Mr.. cooper spent from $4,000 to $1,000 a
year spraying and fumigating his frnit
trees. The cost of propagatine the ladv'
birds is nominal and the trees are haaItb;ssr

FREIGHT RATES CUT.
The Southern Pacific Company Makes
Sweeping Reduction on
Freight to Utah.

A joint freight tariff to cover the South
ern Pacific Company's Pacific system in
connection with the Utah Central and Rio
Grande Western railways and the Union
Pacific system was issued yesterday from
the freight department of the Southern
Pacific in this City. 1t will go into effect
tomorrow, June q.
The most important feature OF this new
sch edule for freights is that in nearly
every class of merchandise quite sub
stantial reduction has been made. The
amended tariff cancels rates made in tariff
schedules Il, 10 and 20, which have been in
force for some time past, and it is intended
for freights between stations on the South
ern Pacific lines ana stations in Utah on
the Union Pacific, Rio Grande Western
and Utah Central.
The principal changes are made on car
load lots. Household goods have been re-
duced from 70 to 65 cents per 100 pounds,
iron and steel from 81 to 20 cents, horse

THE WOMEN REFORMERS,
Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw
Will Take a Long Sum-
mer Rest.
The Last-Named Lady VIII Take
Part in the California Cam
paign Next Fall.

Miss Susan B. Anthony and Rev. Anna
Shaw will be in San Francisco until July
6, at which time they will leave for their
respective homes in the East. Miss An
thony said yestesdav:
We that is Miss Shaw and I, were away on
our southern trip exactly fourteen days Dur
ing that time 1 delivered sixteen addresses,
through Miss Shaw went me two better From
first to last five receptions were rendered u.s.
and l say candidly that 1 never met a more
hospitable people in my life than those in
Southern California. In the fourteen days we
travelled 1900 miles, though it was such de-
lightful trip that | feel none of the fatigue in
cident to such journey.
We will leave for the East July 6, Miss Shaw
going direct to Cape Cod and to my home in
Rochester. My sister writes that the house
has been fixed up from top to bottom, and 1
am anticipating delightful and much needed
rest. would like to steal i'll home at the mid
night hour, without the knowledge of a living
soul, for then l could have week or two Of
perfect rest. As it is the reporters will be after
me for whole week or ten days to tell them
something about California, and it will be
nearly August before 1 get my rest at ALL l
intend taking it quietly this summer, SO as to
be prepared for the campaign next fall and
winter OF course mywork will be in the same
old line, though just what places will visit l
cannot now say.
1t is highly probable that Miss Shaw will also
rest, though she may deliver a few lectures
near home. Miss Shaw has been invited to
California next fall to make a tour of the State
in the interest OF the suffrage movement She
will probably accept the invitation though ii
is too early yet for her to outline any definite
plan of action.
What do think of the suffrage movement in
California? Well, it has been Endorsed by the
Republican and Peoples parties, and if it is
EN- bodied in the next platform am confident
it will be carried. What we want, however, is
for ell the parties to fndorse the movement.
Then it cannot be said that 1t is party meas
ure. If this is done it cannot be said that a
promise to support any party was given

bare flesh with a leather strap until the
DlOoQ HOWed, was not cruel
Slmmonds did not vouchsafe a reply, but
he was informed by the secretary that in
his opinion that was devilish cruelty. He
was also asked if he did not consider it
cruel for father to go into bathroom
where his 13-year-old girl was entirely un-
dressed and there beat her with strap.
The reply he made led to the following
remark by the secretary: "Well, it's mat
ter OF opinion. You say it's severe; [
say it's cruel, extremely cruel'
In the meantime Mr.. Bird was seeking
legal advice, and having learned that the
girl Mabel had been inveigled away from
his home by an elder person, he made up
his mind to apply for letters of guardian
ship over the girl, and in order to gain
possession OF her applied for a writ of
habeas corpus directed against the father.
The petition was made before Judge Trout,
who also granted the writ, making the
latter returnabie at 10 O'Clock Monday
morning.
While in court Mabel signed declaration
that she elected that J. w. Bird be ap-
pointed her guardian.
Mr.. Bird was examined as to his respon-
sibilty, his ability and willingness to take
care of Mabel in case she was placed in
his care. ALI his answers were satisfactory.
The Judge said that from what he had
already heard he was convinced that the
girl would be safe in Mr. Birds home, and
made the order that she be placed in his
care.
The hearing of the petition for letters of
guardianship will take place at 10 o'clock
on Tuesday, July 2, the day before the ha-
beas corpus proceedings are taken up again.

DIVORCE GRANTED.
The Nephew of the Late Governor Stan.
ford Loses His Wife and
Child

The nephew of Governor Stanford,
Jerome B. Stanford, has appeared in the
divorce court, his wife Florence Stanford
being the complaining witness and the
charge made desertion.
The desertion charged by Mrs. Stanford
has lasted since November 1, 1894, when
he left her, announcing at the time that
he would have nothing more to do with
her. She has a child, Clark Stanford,
whose custody she asked for, and which
was granted to her. She also asked for
5000 and $125 a month alimony, $75 of
which amount she says she will donate to
the care and education of her child.
This $4,000 and the monthly alimony
she asked to be made a charge on a legacy
OF 100000 left by Governor Stanford to his
nephew.
These various prayers of the complaint
were allowed, and the divorce was granted
on the ground of desertion. Stanford was
IN court at the trial and offered no obiec-
ton.

BARBERS' CLOSING ACT.
Warrant Out for the Arrest of Leo
IJentzsch for Violating Its
Provisions.

HI. A. Wolf, representing the BARRIERS
Protective Union, swore out warrant in
Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday after
noon for the arrest of Leo Jentzsch, bar
Der, 1856 Sixth street, on the charge of vio-
lating the act passed by the last Leglsla-
ture, in keeping his shop open from Il
noon till P. NJ. on Sunday, June 16.
This is the second case since the act came
into force. In the first case the barber
pleaded that he did not know that the act
was in existence, and Jude Low let him off
with small fine. No such plea can be
made in the present case.
The union is determined that the pro-
visions OF the act shall be obeyed, and Mr..
Wolf is specially employed to see that all
shops are closed at IL noon on Sundays.
Since the passing of the act the Chinese
and japanese BARRIERS have been doing a
largely increased business with white men,
and the union will in all probability take
steps to put stop to it. Chinese and
Japanese BARRIERS are as amenable to the
law OF the. land as any other nationality
and they should be compelled to respect it.

A Missile Thrown at a California Street
Cable-Car.

Herbert Jennings, IA years of age, caused
sensation among the passengers on a
California-street car yesterday afternoon.
He was stealing a ride. and at Larkin street
the gripman made him get off the car.
This angered Hubert and he picked up a
piece of ice from the sidewalk and threw it
at the gripman's head. The gripman
lodged and the missile crashed through
the glass of the door leading from the
dummy, soaring the passengers and caus-
ing stampede.
The car was stopped and the conductor
started on a run after Hubert and soon
overhauled him. He was handed over to
a police officer and taken to the City
Prison, where a charge of malicious mis-
chief was placed against him.
