The Board of Supervisors held special

Supervisor Haskins desired to have his
resolution, asking the ahrogation of the
treaty, brought up, but when he found
that a majority of the members were
against such a measure, withdrew it, stat

pany of Los Angeles the
Plaintiff.
The Defendants Are Its President
and Several of the Leading
stockholders.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 4.-The
State Loan and Trust Company has begun
q sensational suit against its own officers.
The action is fled in the Superior Court
and is against Samuel B. Hunt, VINO eight
years ago was the banks cashier and gen.
eral mansger-in fact had absolute con-
troll of the bank and the responsibility OF
making all the loans. He was required to
give a bond in the sum of $4,000, on
which Dl. w. G. Cochran, John Bryson
Sr., Il. J. WoolIacott and Sarah B. Hunt
qualified.
1t appears from the com plant that
loans TO the amount of $50 600 we're made
and only SAL ,OC0 realized, showing short
age in the collateral Of $14,0 600, and it is
this balance that the bank wishes to
recover from the bondsmen. The bonds
men will und ertake TO prove that these
loans were made in the regular course of
business, we're shown upon the books OF
the bank in regular form and appear
among the regular business transactions
of the bank, and the failure to realize the
full amount from the coilaterals deposited
10 secure them was not in any sense in
the character of g shortage on the part of
Hunt, for which they agreed by the terms

words the bond which they signed was

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, June A

Finest Ever Shown In the
County.

REDWOOD CITY, C4L, June 4-The
large pavilion in which the sweet pea car
nival is being held is fairly ablaze and
abloom. During the morning and the
greater part of the afternoon the
exhibitors were kept busy getting
their displays into shape. Although
1t is called sweet-pea carnival, and
sweet peas are the prevailing flower,
many other beautiful varieties are arrayed
in profusion, and palms and ferns are dis
played. 1t may safely be SAID of this
flower show thatIt by far eclipses any ever
held heretofore at Redwood City.
On one side of the hall. in the center
and at the back, have been erected tables
to hold the exhibits. On the opposite side
the hall has been turned into an indoor
garden. Placed upright on the floor are
large spreading redwood trees, and under
them the ladies have placed their refresh
men; booths. In one corner is the ice
cream stand, presided over by Mesdame
Mansfield, LOWE. Hammerson and Town
send, and Misses Nellie Hammerson,
Annie Lame, Kate Reilly, Rosenbaum and
Mary Genochio. In the other corner is
the lemonade stand, which is waited upon
bv Mesdames Winter and Einstein and
Misses Selma Allen and Dollie Kearse.
Between these is located the tea booth,
under the supervision OF Mesdames San
ders, Bean anil Glennan, and Misses Sallie
Nelson, Fanny Grove, Blanche Walker
and Emp Harvey.
With hese three refreshment stands il
is not difficult to satisfy the cravings of
the inner man. and many a dollar found
its way over the Ia bles last night.
The flowers shown tonight were of the
most beautiful ever seen here. Chic
among all the exhibitors is Mr.. Lynch, the
florist of Menlo Park. who has entered as
a professional On his tables eighty five
varieties of sweet peas are TO be seen,
some of which are entirely new and have
never been exhibited before. He has
thirty-fve varieties of carnations in Jars

mention are: Mrs. George G. Ross OF Bel
mont, Mrs. Frank OF Redwooi City and
the Misses Hammerson and Christ.

maids were present the former occupying

VICTORIA, B. c., June A letter to-
day from :he captain OF the sealing
schooner Geneva of Victoria, now on the
Japanese side, says the vessel encountered
a series OF misfortunes since leaving this
side of the Pacific. After sailing from the
Hawaiian Islands in March heavy storms
broke out. Two boats were smashed and
the COOK was disabled with his side badly
injured.
Later in March one OF the crew, Frank
Andrews, died from hemorrhage, and

was lost. These were James ColhhsOn,
hunter; William Henns berry and Arthur
Hodgins, boat puller and steerer re-

They ieit the schooner after seal, and it
is thought their boat was overturned, as
nothing has since been seen of them.

been picked up, as one or TWO other

7ULE DISTRICT BONDS INVALID.
JUdoe Gray of HsaIJa Rules That fro
DebeHtgres We're Disposed of
Uni1WfUIIy.

VISALIA, CAL, June 4.-Chris Floter
brought suit year ago against the Iule
River Irrigation District and its collector,
praying that they be enjoined from SELL
ing his real estate for delinquent taxes
levied by order of the district directors.
The injunction was granted. To-day
Judge Gray ruled that the bonds of the
District had been illegally disposed of,
and hence that the whole assessment was
void. He ordered that the tax sales be
Cancelled.
The district was organized in 1892 and
500 900 in bonds were voted and issued.
Most of these bonds were taken by men
who worked out the cost in building
bitches for the district. Now that these
bonds are de clared worthless and the dis
trct has the water and the bitches, it is
believed no other bonds will ever be
issued. The district will probably disor-
ganize.
