SANTA BARBARA INVASION.

One Hundred BraziIians Vfsit the City
En Route to the North.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, April 90
An extraordinary company of people to-
day invaded Santa Barbara, being no less
than 100 Brazilians-men, women, children
and little babies-traveling in train of
about dozen teams to San Francisco.
The procession IS picturesque and in.
teresting one, the women and children in
particular presenting distinctive types of
their nationality. ALI wear the native cos
tune, and in spite of the dirt of travel are
apparently in gala dress. with queer coins
braided in their hair, barbarous rings in
their ears and their necks weighted with
heavy necklaces.
Despite the chilling wind all OF the
women are bareheaded and some are
possessed of a dark and brilliant beauty.
They have brought their household pets
with theni-one a white paroquet, while
the variety of extraordinary and wholly
novel types of dogs accompanying the
party would gladden. the eyes OF fancler.
They have tentpoles and canvas in their
wagons, to which horses are harnessed
three abreast. None seemed to have the
slightest knowledge of roads or routes, and
they are wandering helplessly along, tol-
lowing the polar star, and camping wher-
ever they can obtain wood and water.

tween Grower and Packer.

FRESNO, CAL, April 2o.--At meeting
of the Hundred Thousand Club and the
Chamber of Commerce this afternoon four
members of the committee which is to
have control of the raisin combine were
selected. The Hundred Thousand Club
selected E. F. Bernhard, banker, and
George L. Warlow, lawyer and grower.
The Chamber of Commerce chose
Arthur r. Briggs, land agent and grower,
and Louis GundeItinger, merchant. These
four will select a fifth member of the COM
mittee, who will in all probability be from
Hanford, where there is large acreage OF
vineyards.
This committee, if the organization sue
ceeds, will have absolute control of the
raisin output. 1t will fix prices and trans
act business, the sale of raisins to be en-
trusted to its charge. The committee will
also arbitrate the differences between
growers and packers.

have never had any dealings with this
woman or any other woman"
At this juncture Officer Purves came
along. Mcintyre went out and engaged
him in earnest conversation for some time.
As result of this conference Purves said
he knew the woman by sight, possibly, but
not by name. He said he was sorry if his
name had been connected with the affair.
as he had never figured in a scandal OF
any kind. 1t was understood earlier in
the evening that when the woman had
sent for Rourke and Mcintyre, as the mes
senger-boy claimed, she had also sent for
Puryes, but this was found to be mis-
take.
As an evidence of the interest the affair
is creating in police circles, it is known
that last night Captain Robinson of the
City Prison, Sergeant Wollwebber, Cap
tain Lees, Policeman Rourke and the boy,
Valencia, were closeted IN Captain Lees
room, discussing the matter for over an
hour.
Shortly after they di disbanded the mes
senger-boy was seen as to the results of
the conference. He said that he had DO en-
given strict orders by Sergeant Wollweb-
Der not to say anything to anybody, ex-
cept by his advice.
1t was learned, however, that he had
been requested to give the story in detail
and elucidate important points, that he
had been given to understand that his
story was believed, and that the matter
would be probed to the bottom. He also
said that what puzzled them was where
the 5000 went to.
"And,' the boy added, ~ am inclined to
think from the lay OF things that Rourke
and Mcintyre are in for it,
Policeman Rourke, speaking over the
telephone at late hour last night, said
that he did not believe the story told by
the boy, and that "Murty" Callahan was
near him all the time when the woman
claims, according to the boys story, that
she gave him any money. He SAYS he can
prove by Callahan that he received no
money from any one.
Rourke went to see the cambridge
woman yesterday afternoon and evening
in the company of Captain Robinson.
She denied the tale to him, SO he says.
1t is said by some who would seem to be
in position to know that the relations
between Rourke and "Fat Annie are
what may be termed familiar.

BURNED IN A SEASIDE FIRE.
Horrible Fate of NJ Eberman, an Invalid
Pioneer of the North Pacific
6nnef

ASTORIA, ORE, April 20.-N. Eberman
was burned to death in his house at Sea-
side early last evening under circum-
stances that render the fatality heart
rending.
For the past FIVE years he had been
paralyzed and unable to move, except to
wheel himself around the room in chair.
Last night his wife and two daughte rs
went to church, leaving the old man alone
in the house.
About $3.50 o'clock neighbors saw flames
coming from the house. An alarm was
given, bringing all the residents of the
town to the scene. When the house was
reached it was already gutted by fire, with
no possible chance of saving it or the old
man, who long before that must have been
burned to death.
The house and all its contents were
ompletely destroyed, leaving the charred
body Of the old man in the ashes.
The cause of the fire can only be sur
missed, but It is generally believed that it
was the result of lamp explosion, as one
was left burning in the house when the
women started to church.
Eberman was horn in Tennessee seventy
three years ago and lived in this neighbor-
hood since 1912, except for a few years
spent In California during the gold excite
ment. He was a scout in the Cayuse war,
a familiar character to all settlers in this
section,

Hopes Of Ecen Fair Crop Haze Nosc
Been abandoned.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, April 20.-The
ground was fairly whitened this morning
by that arch enemy of the fruit-growers,
Jack Frost, and hopes of even fairly
good fruit crop are now abandoned.
Severe frosts have visited this section at
intervals during the entire season, but last
nights visitation was the most disastrous
Of all. The prune crop is badly damaged,
many growers declaring that third of a
crop would be the best that could be hoped
for. Cherries and peaches will also suffer
greatly, from last nights "cold snap" only
the uplands escaping.
The hardest blow to this part of the
country is the almost total destruction of
the valley vineyards and the quite serious
damage done to even the upland vines.
The foreign varieties appear to be the
most badly injured of the wine grapes,
though Zinfandels will help out with a
good second crop. The fact that vine
yards like Captain Gross of this city and
the De Turk place in Los Guilicos, which
were pruned during the present month,
are almost untouched is lesson to those
who by pruning and plowing during the
warm weather of February forced the
vines out to their destruction.

CONSERVATION Caused by Maniac Who
Believed He Was Commissioned to
XIII Public Officials.

SPOKANE, WASH, April 20.-A crazy
man caused CONSERVATION in the court
house to-day anc ran all the officials out of
the building or into the vaults before he
was captured. He was imbued with be-
lief that he had been commissioned to kill
every man who held Office and started in
to perform the duty in tirst-class shape.
AS he came into the corridor he drew a
revolver and commanded all in the pas
sageways to get out of the way as he was
going to commence firing at the officials.
He then went into the Commissioners
office, broke three or four plate glass win
dows in front of the counter and made the
inmates of the Office take refuge in a vault.
The Auditors Office was visited next and
those within 1t fed. All the Deputy Sher-
ifs were on the second floor of the court
house, but a couple of janitors, armed
with nothing but brawny fists, descended
upon the maniac and finally succeeded in
taking the revolver away from him and
landing him in Jail. The fellow was una

her two of the children the court gave

with him.
Whether this means a reconciliation or

SANTA ROSA, CAL, April 20.-Judge
Dougherty to-day sentenced John Bryan
20 years of age, to twenty years in San
Quentin and his brother, Joseph Bryan,
aged Is, to like time in Folsom. The
boys broke into Hale Bros store in Peta-
luna and stole q quantity of goods, first
rifiing a blacksmith shop of its tools.
When arrested they strenuously denied
their guilt, and employed Ross Campbell
to defend them. Upon looking into the
merits of the case the attorney did not
feel encouraged and advised the boys to
plead guilty, and by saving the county
much expense and trouble get light
sentence.
