PASADENA. Feb 1s-M. s. Ballard
of 314 West Villa street telephoned 10
the poIice station at about midnight last
night to saw that Henry Cloud was dis
turbing his peace by bombarding the
house with rocks. Officers Bristol ana
Freeman responded and found Cloud
in the custody of Mr.. Ballard. Mr.. Bal
lard said he was awakened by the stone
Throwing. and that Cloud upon being
caught said he was throwing at COW
which he was driving. The bovine. how
ever. was not visible, and the story was
not credited. The reason for the throw
ing of the stones seemed obscure until
II is remembered that there has been
some i'll feeling between Mr.. Ballard
and Mr.. Weir, his next door neighbor.
Cloud. who is said to be otherwise tnan
very Intelligent, was stopping al MT.
Weir's yesterday. 1t Is thougnt tnat
Weir who Is an expressman, instigateo
the disturbance.
About two years ago Mr.. Ballard's
horses disturbed the peace Of Mr.. Weir
by stamping in their stalls when civil
ized animals are in the habit OF sleep
ing Mr.. Ballard went to Santa Monica
about this time, and during his ap-
sence Mr.. Weir pitched a tent under
Mr.. Ballard's window. When Mr.. Bal
lard returned Mr.. Weir, to square up
accounts, rang a bell during the gloomy
hours of the night, and so aggravated
Mr.. Ballard that he had Weir arrested
and fined SO.
This is. however, only supposition. and
Cloud saws he was throwing stones to
drive a COW off Weir's premises, when
a stone accidentally struck Ballard $
house. Cloud spent the night IN jail,
and was released this morning upon -
cash bail by the recorder.
ORANGES AND TARIFF.
Owing partly to bad weather there
was very small attendance at the
citrus fruit growers meeting in the
hoard of trade rooms last evening. No
business was transacted, but there was
considerable informal discussion The
object of the meeting was the formation
of some sort of cooperation with the
citrus fruit growers tariff committee
for representation at congress in the
matter of obtaining better recognition
of the citrus industries.
George F. Kernaghan said that the
annual crop is about 5000 carloads or or
anges. The railroad companies received
over $40, 600, 900 for transportation. Ine
growers received bout 81, 400, 600. If the
orange growers profit can be Increased
80 per cent by a higher tariff the annual
returns to Southern California would
be about s., 600, 900. The purpose of the
tariff committee was set forth to be to
send two practical orange growers to
Washington to make suitable snow
ing before the ways and means commit
tee, and also to interest one or two ex-
congressman in the mater who might
have influence with the senate and con-
gress. This desired tariff Is for the pur-
pose simply of giving California
chance to compete with growers from
Mediterranean ports. Eastern dealers
will therefore fight the tariff, and to
this end California should stand to-
gether firmly. All that was accom-
plished at last evenings meeting was
growers should have their interest
aroused.
