BURBANK HONOR
Board Of Trade Passes
Vote to Collect His
Products.

Luther Burbank, propagator of the Bur-
bank potato, of the seedless prune and
countless other varieties of vegetables
and fruits in this State, was honored yes
terday by the State Board of Trade Bur-
bank is known as the wizard of the soil.
In Europe his reputation is widespread.
On one occasion, so it is authenticalIy re-
ported, when his name was mentioned,
the entire French assembly rose to its
feet in his honor as a benefactor of man
kind. If it is indeed true, as a famous
writer has it, that he is twice blessed
who makes two blades of corn to grow
where one grew before, then Burbank is
entitled to be considered several times
blessed for he has made many things
grow, edible and delicious, that were
never imagined before his magic skill and
knowledge caused them to come into ex-
iStence
The State Board of Trade has decided
to make a complete collection of samples
of every form of vegetation to which his
name as propagator can be attached and to
keep a permanent exhibition of the same
at the rooms of the board in the ferry
building in this city. To carry this out
Colonel John P. Irish c. M. Wooster Of
San Jose and B. M. Rowley of the Cali
fornia Fruit Grower were appointed a
committee. The Board of Trade at its
meeting yesterday also authorized W. H
Mills and Secretary Filcher to make ar
rangements for storing at st. Louis the
portion of California exhibits now at Buff
falo that will be in shape to show at the
st. Louis Exposition in 1903.

TROUBLE PRoPHESIED
 AT MELROSE PARK

Chicago, July 23.-The advent at Mel rose Park tomorrow of 300 negro working men, twenty-five women and three preach CTS imported from Mobile, Ala, by the Latrob Steel and Coupler Works is await ed with interest by the residents of that suburb and the 600 workmen now employed in the plant. Threats of the workmen 10 strike for higher wages are believed by many to have been the cause of the inn portation.
 This is denied by the officials of the company. They declare that the only req son the negroes are brought here is that 1t has been impossible to secure sufficient white help to do the work demanded from the Latrob Company by the United States Steel Corporation.
 To the workmen still in the factory this reason was significant A parallel was drawn between the pending state of af- fairs in Melrose Park and the rumors of the importation of colored men, to the Pennsylvania works of the steel trust. '-They are going to try 1t on the dog out here first" was the remark made by one of the workmen.
 For the accommodation of the new men long wooden sheds have been erected in the Latrob Company's yard. There, it is said, the new men will sleep and be pro-
  against them Directly outside the gate an enormous tent has been erected by a saloon keeper of Melrose Park, who has a contract with the Latrob steel works to feed the negroes
 Employes of the works declare that a number of extra guards have been em- ployed by the company and they assert this is an indication that trouble is ex- peoted. The Latrob Company day labor CTS at Melrose Park receive IA cents an hour and the mill men + cents.
 An impromptu mass meeting was held tonight in front of the village hall. Resi- dents of Maywood, Melrose Park and Bellwood, gathered till fully 5000 people were In attendance to protest against the importations. While no direct threats were made. it was prophesied that trouble would follow the arrival of the imported laborers. committee was appointed to confer with the officials of the company and an effort was made tonight to confer with Governor Yates by telephone to see if he would not take some immediate &C., tion to prevent the importation of the negroes.

DESPERATE FIGHT
 IN MISSISSIPPI
Lige Hopkins is Dead and the Jones Boys Are-f|eeing
 from Justice

Meridian, Miss, July 23.-(Special)-One of Winston County took place last Fri day near Plattsburg, on the line of Nesho- ba and Winston Counties. As a result Lige Hopkins, a brother to the superin- tendent of education, and son of the pres ident of the Board of Supervisors of Wins ton County, Is dead, and two of the Jones boys are fleeing from justice.
 It appears that there has been bad blood between young Hopkins and the Jones boys for sometime, and Friday they met at neighborhood church where the row was renewed. Hopkins rode off and was followed by the Jones. few miles out on the road they maneuvered, and met face to face. When within about ten steps of each other all three pulled their revolvers and began to shoot There was a perfect fusilade of shots, the men stand ing game at an equal distance
 When the revolver of one man was emptied he would reload his weapon and join in the shooting. The Jones fired seventeen bullets at their lone antagonist before they could get him. It was the seventeenth shot that sent a ball into the loins of young Hopkins and knocked him to the ground. Up to that time Hopkins had emptied hs pstol once and had re- loaded. Two chambers had been emptied when he was disabled. Twenty-four shots In all were fired at a distance not more than twenty feet.
 Hopkins was found soon afterward and conveyed to hs home. He ded from the effects of the bullet. The Jones boys es- capped and the officers have failed to get any trace of them
