California Dealers DON'T Intend to Take
Advantage of the Florida Freeze.

California Dealers DON'T Intend to Take
Advantage of the Florida Freeze.
Los ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 4-Judging
bv the action of the executive committee.
the southern California Fruit exchanges
have no feeling that because there has
been freezes in Florida they are going
to take advantage of the consumers and
get fabulous prices for their fruit Up
to Yesterday the fruit exchanges had
made no quotations except for the holt
dav trade, which is generally limited,
and the prices realized are. no criterion of
the market for the general trade.
General quotations heretofore, have
been made about February 1, when the
usually heavy shipments were made
This year the exchanges are prepared
for business a month anead of the regu-
lar time, Notwithstanding the fact that
the fruit is a little late in eipening.
The executive committee of the ex-
changes met at the central office in the
Phillips block and fixed prices for the
opening of the season as follows: Fancy
CALIFORNIA; free on board cars, 81 per
box: choice $1,75; standard 1920.
Compared with the opening prices of
previous years, the exchanges do not ap-
pear to be taking advantage of the con-
ditions in the east brought about by the
Florida freeze. 1t may be, however,, that
as the season advances, and it becomes
apparent that the trade will stand it
| these prices will be raised.

MORE BATTLE SHIPS.
The Naval Bill Calls for Three at Cos
of $4,OOO,OOO Each.

WASHINGTON, Jan. At is practically
settled that the naval appropriation bill
as reported to the house will contain
provisions for two and possibly three bat
tie ships at a cost of about 100000
each. This will be by far the most i'm
portant item of the bill
Representative Talbot, who is making
the first draft of the bill, is heartily in
favor of battle ships, and the report on
the bill, which will probably be written
by him. will make strong showing of
the merits of the battle ship as an arm of
the naval service.

of gas in Kansas City. The gas wells in

for supplying gas for fuel and lighting
purposes among the smaller towns in the
vicinity. The supply seems to be large,
and Guffey & Galley of Ptttsburg, Pa, to-
gether with some local capitalists, have
conceived the idea of piping it. to Kan

miles. They have been sinking wells to
ascertain whether their.supply is large
enough. Indications are that it is, and
they are now seeking information with a
view to ascertain whether they. can dis

San Francisco. April fs-capt. Won
Helms. OF the steamer Willamette Val
ley. which arrived today from La Paz.
Mexico, states that Oscar Bartels, the
piratical sea captain who has a weakness
for stealing vessels. Is in prison at the
Mexican port with two members of his
crew. The particular offense on which
he Is hsld is the theft of the schooner
Star OF Freedom from San Francisco
hay. Capt. johnson. owner of the Star
OF Freedom. has been looking up the
record of Barteis. and has learned that
he Is a trader In other peoples vessels
TO a considerable extent. Barteis stole
the schooner Achilles from Seattle. and
went sealing In her. AS a sealer he was
successful. He turned over his catch TO
the Alaskan agents of the Alaska Com
merciai Company, receiving a draft on
Louis Sloss for s200o. Sloss refused to
honor IL without an Identification. and
while Barteis was waiting the owner OF
the vessel dropped into the city from Ash
land. or. Meantime Bartels had secured
s.. 800 from A. l.. Lsurentzen. giving him
a mortgage on the vessel. The owner got
here jus, In time. and he gathered IN the
money the thief had raised. including
the bulk OF the s2.oso draft. He said that
he was satisfied so the charge Of bar
ratry was dropped. and Bartels escaped
prosecution. Bartels next turned up In
San Diego. and shortly afterwards the
schooner Dawn disappeared. and Bartels
was counted as missing. II Is now
believed that Barteis took the Dawn TO
Mexico and sold her. About year and
half ago the steam launch Peri~inkle.
owned by the lighthouse department. dis
appeared from her uHooring at Goat ISL
and Bartels Is now credited with the
theft 81 the launch. although there is no
evidence against him. itis last venture
was the theft OF the schooner Star OF
Freedom. OF this port, which he accom-
piished by brihing the watchman during
the owners absence.

says:

so regarded. not only by the entire press
of the state and country, but every con-
siderate and fair-minded citizen. Had Mr.
