FRESNO kAlSiE-GR0wERs' ACT.
WH Send 4 Delegation to Washington to
Work for Protective
Tariff.

FRESNO, CAL, March 5.-The leading
raisin-growers and business men of Fresno
met this afternoon and heard the report
of the committee appointed at meeting
yesterday regarding a plan of campaign
to have the duty on Zante currants in
creased from the rate recommended by
the Ways and Means Committee. During
the past few years the Grecian currants
have been classed as dried grapes and
were subjected to the import duty of IL
cents, which was the rate on rasins and
grape products. In the new tariff bill it
is proposed to take Zante currants from
the classification of dried grapes. on which
the new measure imposes a tariff OF 2l
cents. and fix separate tariff of only
cent pound on them. Without sufficient
protection the foreign product would be a
strong competitor in this country with
home raisins.
The enactment of the recommendation
of the Ways and Means Committee would
be injurious to Southern CaIifornia's S
great industry, and those who are vitally
interested are therefore taking steps to
make strong contest for a fair adjust
ment in the tariff schedule as far as it al
fects them.
1t Is proposed to send delegate con-
sisting of DR.. Chester Roweil, Colonel
William Forsyth, 0. J. Woodward and
Arthur Briggs, TO Washington to work
among the Congressman and convince
them of the error OF the recommendation
of the Ways and Means Committee. A
finance committee will be set at work i'm
mediately to raise about $4,000 TO defray
the expenses of the delegation. to assist
which it is the purpose to enlist the ser
vices OF e1-CongressmanB Bowers.

SANTA CLARA CATTLE-THIEE.
Officers Arrest Youth After He Has
Disposed of Stolen
Sfock

SAN JOSE, CAL. March 5.-Alphonse
Roberts, a young Spaniard. was arrested
by Sheriff Lyndon this morning on a
charge of stealing nine head OF cattle from
J. M. Kenyon. rancher near Smiths
Creek. A few days ago Roberts offered to
sell the cattle to G. Wendte, a butcher,
and the latter notified Sheriff Lyndon.
Wendte was instructed to continue nego-
tiatlons with Roberts and trap was set
for the thief's capture. Roberts was paid
$25 down and was to be given the balance
on the delivery of the cattle. The stock
was turned over to Wendte at his place on
the Mount Hamilton road last evening,
and tnls morning he came to town with
Roberts to pay over the money.
They went to Greentield's grocery, on
the corner of First and ST. John streets.
where Sheriff Lyndon and Under Sheriff
Benson were awaiting them, and in the
presence of the officers Roberts signed a
bill OF sale for the ca tile and accepted a
check for $122 Gu. As soon as the sale was
accomplished Roberts was arrested by
Sheriff Lyndon. Others are implicated in
the theft, among them +. Sagardia, the
stepfather Of the prisoner, and more ar
rests will probably be made.
j. NJ. Kenyon, the owner or the cattle,
swore to a warrant before Justice Dwyer
to-day charging Roberts with grand
larceny.

SAW PEDR0'S REAL ESTATE BOOM.
Property Purchased in the Morning Trs6ies
in Value Before the Sun
Goes Down.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 5.-The
excitement over real estate transactions
at San Pedro consequent upon the decl-
sion of the Harbor Commissioners desig-
mating that port as the site for the deep
water harbor has had no parallel IN
Southern California since the halcyon
days of the boom. The town is thronged
with strangers, nearly all of whom are
bent on purchasing some of the precious
dirt in or near the village. The specula-
tive fever has taken possession of the resi-
dents, and every one Is on TIE qui vive 1or

Every body seems to have money now to

dro. The widest and most absurd stories
have been set af1oat in the town by a
coterie of practical jokers as to the most
seductive snaps in real estate. In some
instances these yarns have been taken for
sober truths, and have resulted in pur-
chases in the most unpromising portions
of the town. The appreciation in the
value of real estate at San Pedro has been
the most rapid ever known in Southern
California. Lots purchased in the fore
noon have been sold in the afternoon of
the same day at an advance of 800 per
cent.
Ths syndicate of which John T. Gaffey
is the head placed a large block of lots on
the market yesterday afternoon. and fifty
of them were sold before sundown, men

cials for some months concerning the
race. Last evening he received word that
the arrangements Tor the test had been
completed and the date set for May 2.
The fastest engine owned by the road will
be assigned the task of pacemaking.
The road between the rails will be
planked for distance of three miles.
This will give the rider mile to get up

and mile in which to slow up. The To-
comotive 10 be used will have two cars at

in fifty seconds can be attained. The rear

"Bunt" Smith will soon begin training
for the event. He is confident he can 60
the distance at first trial in at least five
seconds less than Anderson's time of 1903.
He is a game and speedy rider, and

over the Milpitas course his time was 10 20

a road race on this coast.
The ride behind locomotive will un-

The Southern Pacific Company will run

BURGLARS AT WILLIAMS.
Three BUSINESS Houses in the Town
Visited by 6and of Midnight
ProWIers

COLUSA, CAL, March 5.-The town of
Williams, ten miles west of Colusa. was
visited by burglars last night and three
business houses were entered. The thieves
first turned their attention to the hard
ware-store of B. P. Grover, which they en-
tered by cutting hole through the back
door, through which they put their hands
and threw back the lock. Here they OBJ
tanned about $75 worth OF razors, knives
and pistols. Next they visited the post
office where they succeeded in getting the
door unlocked, but were unable to open it
because it was fastened with wooden bar
across on the inside.
They gave up this attempt and crossed
the street 10 Peter GraZer's saloon, where
they again succeeded in unlocking rear
door. They were preparing TO ransack
the place when they were frightened away
by man sleeping in an adjoining room,
who heard them and got up to investigate.
One of the robbers is believed to have
been "Billy the Kid who robbed the
same store about year ago. He was seen
in the vicinity of Williams the day before
the robbery.

Action Taken bY the Santa Clara Hins-

SAN JOSE, CAL, March 5.-The Santa
Clara County Wine-makers' Association,
at largely attended meeting in this city
yesterday afternoon, agreed upon 20 cents
per gallon as the minimum price at which
memb bers shall dispose of their vintage.
This price is the same as that ser for wine
last year, and the action was taken owing
to the disposition of some of the me m bers
to sell at lower rate. The general
opinion of those present was that the
market was in a much better condition
than for several years and there were pros
poets for increased prices.
A resolution was adopted asking the
president of the California Wine akers'
Corporation to call meeting OF the stock
holders for the purpose OF discussing the
wine industry and TO agree upon a uni
form minimum price for the years prod
net. Colonel Bendel, president OF the
Wine-makers' Corporation, who was pres
ent, stated that he would call meeting
for some day next week in the Chambe

MIsER DIES NEIR PORTLAND.
Believed to Have Much Wealth Buried
About His Hut.


PORTLAND, Or, March 5-Joseph
Leonard, an aged hermit, having for
many years dwelt in an old hut about
twelve miles from here, is lying at the
morgue. Owing to his reputed wealth,
with the miser's habit of secreting it near
al hand where he might gloat over it,
and also that he was involved in litiga-
tiou which was to be heard to-day in
Judge Shattuck's court, it was believed
by many of Leonard's neighbors that the
old hermit had met with violence.
Circumstances DO not, however, 60 to
further this belief. He was a man nearly
20 years OF age, and taking into consider
ation his utter neglect of the most ordi-
nary hygienic rules, the sparse, wretched
food which he allowed himself, with the
lack of proper clothing, it is TO be won
