VOLUNTARY RETIREMENTS
OF OFFICERS IN NAVY
An Opinion Giving the Number
Available by the Judge
Advocate General.

WASHINGTON, June I7.-Judge Advo-
cate Lemley has rendered an opinion con-
STRUNG the meaning Of the naval per-
sonnel act relative to voluntary retire
ments. The section in question section b
authorizes the President to retire officers
OF each grade, providing a certain speci-
ned number of vacancies do not occur an
nually in these grades through natural
causes. The Judge Advocate General
holds that the act requires that a suft-
cient number of officers and no more are
to be placed on the retired list to cause
the prescribed number of vacancies and
applying this rule to the existing naval
lists he finds that there will be no cap
tatns retired. because there are al
of commander, while only thirteen are
contemplated by law; that two COM
manders will be retired there being eigh-
teen vacancies now. two less than re-
qulred; that seven lieutenant command
ers Will be retired, there being twenty-five
vacancies and the law prescribing twenty
nine, and no lieutenantS retired: the total
number of vacancies, forty in the higher
grades, meeting all the requirements of
the law.

this decision. eligible for retirement and
will be retired are: Commanders n. s.

SACRAMENTO, June 17.-There was a
convention of fruit growers in Sacra-
mento to-day, called for the purpose OF
hearing the report of the executive COM
mittee appointed at a growers conVen-
ton in this city "a few weeks ago, and to
adopt plan of organization. 1t was evil
dent before the convention met that there
would be lively controversy concerning
the method of organization. There was
one faction represented by a majority on
the executive committee that favored a
refrigerator car line, to be owned and
controlled by the growers. While this
plan included the formation of an organl-
Zation to control the marketing of fruit,
the market was made so subsidiary to the
car line as to he almost lost sight of.
The minority was known to advocate
plan calling for an organization among
the growers along line almost identical
with that of the Raisin Growers Associa-
ton of Fresno, and in no way RETIRING to
a car line.
1t was evident when the convention was
called that there would be a clash be-
tween the contending factions, ana
friends of the organization feared 1T might
end in defeat for the entire plan.
The meeting was called TO order at 2
o clock this afternoon in the Senate cham
Der and the majority and minority reports
were read. w. A Fountain of Newcastle,
member of the executive committee and
port, moved its adoption. He contended
that the one thing for the growers to do
was to effect a strong central organiza-
ton and pledge the growers of the State
to ship through this to agencies estab-
liShed by the organization in the East.
He contended that in this way growers
would absolutely control in time the en-
tire deciduOus fruit crop of the State,
and when they controlled even a fair per
centage of this they would be in a posi-
tion 10 deal directly and make contracts
with refrigerator car lines. The organiZa
ton, once perfected. would result, he de-
clared, IN a competition for business
among the various car lines which would
bring about reduction in refrigeration
charges as great as could be brought
about If the growers owned their own
hnes- 1t was further to be commended
upon the ground that this reduction would
be effected without the investment of a
cent of capital by growers.

SLAYS A WOMAN,
THEN HIMSELF
Crime of a Kanaka at
Sacramento.
ATTEMPTS THREE MURDERS
ONE VICTIM ESCAPES WITH A
SERIOUS WOUND.
Frenzied Man Dashes His Infant
Child to the Floor in an Effort
to End Its
Life.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, June 17-Ben Ka-
luha, Kanaka diver and fisherman, at
noon to-day shot and killed a Kanaka
woman who passed as his wife. He
then shot twice at her sister. Mrs.
George WINNER, one of the bullets
causing serious wound in her thigh.
SEEING his tWo-year-Ol child, he
dashed it with great force 10 the
ground, in the hope of ending it's young
life. Having thus distributed destruc-
ton about he turned the revolver on
himself and fired a shot that killed him
almost instantly.
kaluha had for number of years
peen employed as a diver on the Gov
ernment snagboat Seizer. The boat has
had no occasion for his services of late,
and so he has put in his time as a river
hsherman, making his home at Vernon
Sutter County.
1he woman with whom he lived came
down from Vernon a few days ago to
visit her sister, one of the victims of
to-day's tragedy. Kaluha followed yes
terday. He was not a drinking man,
but, it appears, was short of money,
and few minutes before the killing he
was heard to ask his putative wife for
a few dollars
1t is not believed that the murder
had its origin in this incident, but
rather in the fact that Kaluha suspect
ed the woman of unfaithfulness.
Mrs. WINNER and the child will re-
cover. The tragedy occurred at mid
day in one of the most thickly settled
portions of the city, and part of it was
witnessed by two painters, who were
perched high on some rigging on a
nearby building. They were powerless
to prevent the f1endish deed of the
frenzied Kanaka
