Mr.. Davis Position

Editor Herald MIR. McLaren seems to
have lost his enthusiasm for discovering
the author of Warning No. 2 about as
suddenly as he developed 1t.
He says he is not fool enough to reply
to my letter, showing that he is him self
the author. In this he is discreet. He
would have acted wisely had he left the
matter out of the newspapers in the first
place, ard still more wisely had he not
hurled the boom erane at all.
| have long ard silently and with at
least reasonable sem bla.ice of patience
borne with the cussedness of this indi-
vdual. but when he seeks to shoulder
upon Inc his own shady actions l beg to
decline with thanks.
More than two years ago he threaten ed
in the presence of witnesses to land me
in the penitentiary if it took him ten
years, only because | exposed him as one
of the participants i'll the murderous
assault upon the crew of the schoon er
Halcyon at Redondo. That he has not
since abated one whit of the malevolence
which ut that time actuated his speech.
let his record witness. If you will con-
suit til, notes in Detective Insley's office
and which we're used before the last
grand jury. you will find that he is one
OF the parties who in the sailors union
Office in San Pedro repeatedly discussed
a plan to do me some personal and per-
manent harm. That he did subsequently,
urge at least a temporary abandon en- t
on account of the terrible risk of detec
ton is but little to his credit.
He is the same party who bloviated
around San Pedro and Los Angeles for
weeks that he was going to send me to
the penitentiary for extorting fees from
ssilors for shipping them, and who on u
subsequent occasion, when asked by
Mr.. Insley how be came out with me
reptile d: "Oh, Davis got off easy. He
played the baby act and Judge Ross
let him off with fine of a hundred d ol-
lars. The fact is l never extorted a fee,
was never before Judge Ross on any
charge and of course was not fined the
hundred dollars.
He IS the party who conniving with a
shyster lawyer whom | once exposed for
abandoning his fam lily and skipping
out with an old prostitute hatched up
charge OF felony against me.
On the second day of June in the city
OF Redondo. he went to the city marshal,
stated that he was a deputy sheriff and
had warrant for my arrest. When
asked to show his badge he stated that
he had forgotten it and had left it at
home. Later the same day he read to the
captain of the steam schooner Caspar
what pu1ported to be warrant for my
arrest on charge of assault to murder.
stated thai he intended TO arrest me the
next morning and that he thought l
would resist, in which case he would
shoot me and invited the captain to be
present and see the fun. The fact is he
was not deputy sheriff at all and there
was no warrant out for my arrest. The
foregoing are a few incidents in the
career OF the man who asks the people to
believe that DAVIS had threatened in an
anonymous dodger to stand him out
upon nothing" The issuance of the
dodger was the stupid and desperate
sction of man utterly reckless by
iature, in his efforts to bolster up des-
,erate and ignobie cause. The deed can
lot have even the sem blance of iustifica-

A Protest From Citizens

Editor Herald We, the undersigned
citizens of San Pedro, have read your aIti-
Gle OF Thursday. june l, 1895. under the
headlines of Trouble Brewing, Bloodshed
feared by the Citizens of San Pedro, a
Rumor of Vigilance Committee Being
Formed.
We, as citizens of San Pedro. empha til
caly deny that we are afraid of any
trouble brewing. or any bloodshed is
feared, or that there are any signs of a
vigilance committee being formed, for the
town has been as quiet and peaceful as
at any time in the last two years. Be-
sides. we are always protected by four
constables, two justices Of the peace and
a city marshal, who are county and city
of San Pedro off GERS. We consider the
article an unnecessary and sensational
one and uncalled for. (Signed)

ton. Neither he nor his co-unionists are
"blacklisted. Whenever they stop
fighting and offer to work they are kind
ly received and given en- ployment with
out question or conditions.
LII your article yesterday you stated
that the union is very bitter against me.
Let me tell you why. During the
period OF my agency have never failed
to give adequate protection to any man
| attempted to ship. If this meant half a
dozen or fifty rioters looking into the
muzzie of a shotgun it was all the same.
During the chaotic condition OF the pa ST
four months when association vessels
were tied up or forced to take union
crews at all the other agencies l sent cut
straight and without an hours delay
every vessel under my charge. Is it to
be wondered that the ''sea lawyers"
who manufacture sentiment for the union
are inclined TO be bitter?
In all this conflict have never in any
single instance violated strict con-
struction of the Golden Rule toward any
sailor, union or non-uniun.
When union vessel comes into port |
never 60 near them and there is no
trouble. When one of the ASSOCIATION
vessels comes in I give protection at
whatever hazard and if Mr.. Nc Laren and
his band Of agitators will keep aloof all
will he peace and harmony. The con-
dition is fair and easily met.

The Herald OF Thursday mornings is
sue contained a column of matter devoJ-
ed to San Pedro and its sailor troubles.
Under the heading Trouble Brewing for
the Sailors" there were expressed a
number of views which were collected to-
gether and put into proper form by
Herald reporter. Those views were not
necessarily the Herald's, neither were
they necessarily the views of the reporter
alluded to. They were those of men liv-
ing in San Pedro and whose interests
are centered there. Among them were
r. K. Streets of the San Pedro Lum Der
com pany; C. A. Marks. a union seaman,
and James L. Wall, for many years iden-
titled with coast shipping. Sheriff Burr,
who has recently visited the port. states
that everything there is very auiet-so
',quiet. indeed, that it needs an earth
quake to lven matters up" This paper
received yesterday two communications
relating to the matter, copies OF which
follow, and which are unabridged and
uncomm ented upon:

THEY SAY HE WILL RESIGN
Professor Search's Opponents Make an
Explanation
Why the Action Upon the Dunn Opinion Was
Laid Over for One Week-Mr. Seacrh
Still Saving Wood

The developments in the city school
superlntendency imbroglio yesterday
were the claim by several mem bers of the
board of education who are hostile to
Professor Search that the reason the SUI
perintendent had not been officially de-
capitated on Thursday night. had been
because of an anxiety upon the part of
the professors enemies that he should
voluntarily resign h S position, which
it was broadly limited he had signitied
Willingness to do if given an opportun-
lty. Mr.. Search, on the other hand,
still continues to saw wood. He will not
talk upon the matter. excepting to say
that he himself has not been asked to
step down and out and that if any pc son
purporting to represent him has pledged
him in the direction stated. 1t has been
entirely without his knowledge or con-
sent. 1t looks SO far as if Professor
Search had by long odds the best of the
argument up to the present. stage Of the
proceedings.
Director J. S. Pitman stated yesterday
that the board of education is not person
ally hostile to the Superintendent. Each
member always has had the highest opin-
ion of him and is still. in spite of all that
has recently TRANSFERRED, anxious to avoid
anything savoring of pleasantness.
Mr.. Pitman, however, minated very
strongly that action in the supposed va
cancy existing in the SUPPLEMENTARY
will not be delayed longer than next
Thursday night.
The friends of Mr.Search insist, on the
other hand, that they hold the majority
of the trump cards, and at the proper time
they will play them for all they are worth.
The members of the board of education
hostile to the superintendent smart un-
der the flow of criticism which their
course in the pending controversy has
aroused.
The probable elevation of Assistant SUI
perntendent Foshay Wilt is said, result
in the election of Professor Huse to the

The fools are not all dead and just SO
long as some of them are alive, and es'
peclally about once in a certain number
of years, when new crop has matured,
the air churn man will come around.
1t is now several years since an air churn
has been off cred to the public, hence
the present may prove good time to
spring that article once more on the
dairy public.
The writer was reminded of this mat
ter by receiving from Chicago circular
relating to an air churn. The circular
claims for that particular air churn all
the old claims made score and more of
years ago and exploded by DR.. Hoskins,
June 80, 1878 in the Rural New Yorker.

makes absurd claims, remember the

of pines have been imported into these
islands from all quarters of the globe,
where pines are grown, and thousands
of dollers have been expended to obtain
the best, and the result has been very
heavy loss to those importing other than
the Smooth Cayenne; nearly every other
variety has been cast away. With fair
treatment nere the Smooth Cayenne
grows to ten and up to fourteen pounds
weight, and do not think there is one
planter on these islands who would
change to any other variety even if OBJ
tainable as gift.and in time the growers
of pines in Florida will doubtless come to
the same conclusion. D. Nc LEAN.
Manager Troplc Fruit and Fibre Go.
Honolulu, H. I.
Florida growers are fully aware of the
virtues of the Smooth Cayenne, and it is
one of the most popular varieties here.
The threat of prohibiting the impor-
tation of pineapple slips from the West
Indies, if it was ever carried into effect
would embarrass us but little. The pine
apple is a marvelously prolific plant in
the production of slips, and notwith.
standing the freeze of last winter that
killed many plants, our pineapple men
have been able to get all the slips needed
In any event we hardly think they
could be pro6tably shipped from the
Hawaiian Islands.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
In perusing your paper of the goth Of
March last I came across an item copied
from the Jacksonville Citizen stating
that it was reported that the supreme
Legislative assembly of the Bahamas had
put an embargo on the expectation of
pineapple slips, and if true it might
work a great inconvenience if not a
hardship to those who wish to produce
plants. Now beg to state for the ben
eft of any of the Florida growers of pines
that they can procure from me delivered
at any railroad point in Florida, plants
of the Smooth Cayenne at very low
prices, which variety is now conceded
to be the best known pine in existence,
the fruit bringing the highest price in
all markets of the globe
Of Late years a great many varieties
