the referee fat, and even tried
to down the police when they inter-
fered. Whether this would occur in the
coming battle, he was necessarily unable
to prognosticate.
Many are of the opinion that the Ma
tional Club is at the back of the present
agitation and that the intention is to de-
stroy the advance sale of seats so as
to damage the New Occidental Club finan-
c1ally. This the mem bers of that organi-
cation naturally deny with vigor.
The idea Is also advanced that it would
be unjust to have permitted the National
Club to draw off their events and then to
interfere with the younger league. 1t
would be in consonance with equity and
right, it Is argued, to give one club the
same right as the other.
As the matter stands, the Civic Fedora
ton does not feel sure that the contest
can be prevented, while the New Occi-
dental Club, acting upon competent legal
advice, feels sure that there are no obsta-
cles in its path. The license for the con-
test is in its possession and the sale of
seats rapidly continues.

This firm is e1tens ely engaged in

as prunes, raisins etc. Mr. Minaker said:
"By all means is the tariff the leading
issue in California. No one can consider
the great depression in prices during the
last two years in our staple dried fruits
and not admit that the tariff certainly has
something to do with our market. This
spring and early summer l sold several
tons of peaches for 21l cents that cost the
producer 3 cents. That is but one of the
hundred incidents that the handlers and
raisers OF fruit could give you.

Denied-The Term double
Dealing" Allowed.

The last session of the Ashley Baldwin
trial will come to close this morning. and
the curtain will go down on the drama.
TheNdefendant has fought the girl-pIaintiff
to the last. Out in the anteroom his peo-
pie sat late last night and waited for an
opportunity to testify.
O'Keefe, the rse-iockey, messenger
boy and general factotum of some body in
Boston, was waiting to tell more regarding
the plaintiffs past, for SS week.
The morning session began with An
drew Anderson on the witness stand. and
the defendants counsel noted the fact
that all allusion to the cottage" incident.
where the witness testified that he saw
Baldwin and Miss Ashley together, did
OF appear in the memorandum book.
Attorney Crittenden made an effort IN
bring out the fact of Baldwin's having en-
tertained Mrs. Richards. or Reilly. and
her daughter Bessie at Santa Anita, and
also that Mrs. Richards and her daughter
had brought about a settlement with
Baldwin on the basis of $35. 900. The
question was objected to and the objection
sustained.
Anderson was also asked about a s.little
girl'' who was alleged to have been chape-
roned by E. j. Baldwin at the ST. Louis
races, but he was not permitted to answer
the question.
Miss Emma Ashley, sister of the plain
tiff, on the stand told of Lillian's accident
by fall from sleigh and her illness
from that cause lasting fer several months.
E. Porter Ashley, brother of the plaint-
i'll testified that while he ana his sister
were at the Santa Anita ranch Baldwin
wanted the Ashleys to come over and live
at the adobe house, and Lillian had re-
fused, saying that Baldwin had two dis
reputable women there and she would not
associate with them. He also stated that
Baldwin had said, ''Oh. never mind them.
come anyhow"
Ashley was asked regarding the "Falvev
joke" and the ALLEGED efforts made by
Baldwin to put Lillian's baby on him.
He also explained how Baldwin's daugh-
ter Clara had inslnuated that Falyey and
Miss Ashley were engaged. He stated
that his sister had often addressed Bald

"a loving manner" Baldwin often sent
for her TO come to his room as he was nm
well and he had seen the defendant 90 10

He went TO the hotel in this CITY because
Baldwin had promised him a position
there, but had not kept that promise.

Wool Merchant Gives Reasons for
Voting for Protection.

carrying on our manufacturing industriesp
The CALL has taken the only true Repub-
lican position. To California there can be
no other vital issue at the present time ex-
cept protection. / can give you an instance
illustrative of our great need for a protec-
tive tariff. Last year l had occasion to
figure on a big contract in Mexico. It
amounted up to the thousands.
81 sent a man down to figure on the con-
tract and it was all but within our grasp
when an English firm heard of the Job and
underbid us. We cannot possibly compete
with the manufacturers of other countries
unless we have a tariff to protect US and
equaiize the disparity existing between
the wages of this country and those of
Europe. The foreign countries can under
sell us in any market of the world unless
there is something done to give us ight-
ing chance with the cheap-labor countries
OF course, the issue in California is the
tariff and protection, but the laboring men
do not appreciate the fact They are easily
won over by the catchword of free silver,
and think their pockets will be lined with
the white metal if bimetallism prevails.
before the last election called all my
men together and gave them strong
talk. l explained the manufacturers
position and endeavored to show them
that unless the manufacturer was able to
carry on his business profitably he must
cut down his hands and greatly reduce
wages. l urged them to vote for protec-

Tariff for protection is the battle-cry of
the Republican party In California. The
question of finance-silver and gold and BIZ
metallism-is subsidiary TO the prosperity
of our industries, sayithe thinkers or both
parties.
THE CALLS plea for protection has been
taken up in every department of COM
merce and industry, and Republicans and
Democrats have given it the support of
their sound political judgment. Many
Democrats who have never wavered in
their allegiance to the party have con-
fessed themselves converted to the doc
trine of protection, and they are not afraid
to stand by their convictions, as may be
seen by a careful reading of THE CALLS
interviews.
Importers, manufacturers, wholesale
merchants and leading representatives of
the several departments of trade and COM
merce indorse the policy OF THE CALL and
say that the party which wins success in
California must make tariff and protec-
tion the issue.
