Vice President Whittlesey's Ad-
dress and Sec. Fitch's
Report in Full.
OFFICERS WERE UNANI-
MOUSLY REELECTED
Excellent Program OF Addresses
=-List of Those
Present.

The seventh annual convention OF
the Wisconsin Cranberry Growers
association closed it's session in this
city Tuesday afternoon with the
election OF the following officers:
President-Chas.B Briere.
Vice Presidents. n. Whittlesey.
Treasurer-M. .. Potter.
Secretary-W. H. Fitch.
Vice President Whittlesey's Address.
Fellow growers Our esteemed
president. Mr.. Charles Briere, is very
sick and unable to preside as usual at
this meeting. Our sympathy and de-
vout we'll wishes are with him and
his family.
The past year has been fairly pro-
sperous one for Wisconsin cranberry
growers. Unlike the previous year,
which was a prosperous che for both
grower and dealer, the year just
passed has brought considerable loss
to the buyer While this is unfortun-
ate for the buyer it is also unfortun-
ate for the. grower, who to some ex-
tent, may to be to blame for it and
may have to pay for it next time.
The whole Wisconsin crop could
have been sold early at good prizes,
$6. so for a good bell and cherry to
81. so for a strictly fancy berry, jun
bos and Bell and Bugles, and moved
out of the way at profit, but in too
many cases the grower hung on too
long for higher prices and at the last
minute he got it lucky dog), but a
sag in the market caught the buyer.
Perhaps we do not sufficiently appreci-
ate the fact that our best interests
demands that we safeguard all inter-
ests concerned We are not, all of
us sufficiently thorough in our grad
ing We raise this fruit to sell, not
to eat, and while some small pie ber-
ries left in would not hurt the sauce
much, it hurts the sale. All buyers
particularly require that all pie or
small berries of g inch or under be
taken out. They are not so particu-
lar about further grading. This is
more to the advantage of the grower.
Our machinery and methods are fre-
quently inadequate; they must be i'm
proved. When hand picking over is
necessary, it should be thorough and
not pretense. Avoid handling as
much as possible. We can pick over
and paw over berries and damage them
Mt every process. If we brand our

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm. of Fergus
Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised for sprains and soreness,
and she asked him to buy her bottle
of it, which he did. 1t quickly re-
lieved her and enabled her to sleep
which she had not done for several
days. The son was SO much pleased
with the relief it gave his mother that

think it is right, permits you to live
and to ref1ect, and by that reflection,
to atone by your life hereafter, so far
as you may be able, for this offense, of
which you have been convicted. And
| trust, although your lot is hard
one, or may be, if you should be con-
fined during the rest of your life, you
must remember that human life, at
best, is very brief, and I desire to
admonish you Il perhaps shall never
behold you again) and to make pre-
paration to meet that Judge before
whom we must all stand some day, to
give in an account for all our deeds
here below, and if you hereafter try
to atone for this crime of which you
have been convicted, if guilty, you
may be prepared to meet that Judge
and have different sentence pro-
nounced upon you than the one that
is pronounced now. The sentence of
the court is that you, Marvin NJ. Fen
ner, for the crime of murder in the
first degree, of which you have been
convicted, be punished by confinement
at hard labor ia the state prison of
the state of Wisconsin, for and during
the period of your natural life and
that the first three days of your said
imprisonment be solitary, and that on
the 10Th of January of each and every
year during your said confinement,
your imprisonment also be solitary"
Sheriff McCamley took Fenner to
Waupun the next day after he had
received his sentence. On entering
the prison Fenner broke down COM
plete!y and wept like a child.
The REPORTER for May II, 1883
says: ''The remorse of conscience
must be terrible to the murderer. Be
sure your sin will find you out.''
But it took twenty-one years to
learn the truth.

This is easier said than done, vet it
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something
over which you have no control it is
obvious that worrying will not help
the matter in the least. On the other
hand, if within your control you have
only to act. When you have cold
and fear an attack of pneumonia, buy
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and use it jUdiciously and all
cause for worry as to the outcome will
quickly disappear. There is no danger
OF pneumonia when it is used. For

truth, or trouble will overtake us.
An association or trust of all the
growers for the purpose of marketing
the crop thru one able and response
BILE agency will come as soon as the
growers awake to a lively apprecia-
tion of the spirit Of the times and
their own interests.
The water supply and drainage re-
quirements of cranberry growers rem
der the business, the interests and
operations of all cranberry growers par
ticularly, interdependent and mutual.
If all or any of US cannot rise to a
sensible solution of this situation we
probably can and will snuff ourselves
and some of our neighbors with us
out Of business.
The experimental station of the asso-
citation has been transferred to the

ection of Dean Henry of the Univers-
ity, is propagating varieties and ex-
perimenting with methods and condi-
tions in thorough and scientific
manner. The state is also investigat-
ing the causes of the poor keeping
qualities of large part of the crop
of Wisconsin cranberries. The state
is doing in this instance just what a
state ought to do; what state is for
In the state the people have an organ
ization practically comnipotent thru
which they can do anything they will.
And it is surprising how little they
do for their own betterment and how
much they turn over to private inter
ests to make what there is in the
traffic.

therefor, being that precautionary

WILL ADD THREE STORIES
TO CHRONICLE BUILDING
NJ. III. dc Young Plans Higher and
Larger Structure OH Market Geary
and KeaPny Streets.

NJ II. de Young is about to turn the
Chronicle building into a thirteen
story structure and to increase its
dimensions largely by erecting thir-
teen-story addition on Kearny street,
on the lot recently purchased by him
from the Josephs of England. The
Josephs lot has frontage of sixty-six
feet on Kearny and it runs to the
present walls of the Chronicle struc-
ture. This will be entirely covered
The addition will coincide, exteriorly
in every respect to the Chronicle build
ing to which it will be Joined. Three
stories will be added on the Market,
Geary and Kearny street frontages to
the old building. the present height be-
ing but ten stories. The cost of the
lot on kearny street and that of the
large addition on that street. together
with the new three stories on Market,
Kearny and Geary streets will involve
an expenditure Of something like ST.
COO 600.
While the exterior will not be radl-
cally changed, it being necessary to
make the new structure conform to the
older for the sake of appearances, the
interior of the present Chronicle build
ing will be largely remodeled. In it
and its extensive annex there will prob
dDly De lOuf passenger elevators.
The old steel frame that was put up
when tall buildings were a rarity in
San Francisco is much heavier
than those now employed in
ordinary construction work Conse-
quently it is supposed to be sufficient
to carry the weight of three added
stories. The architects plans have not
yet been submitted. De Young is
abroad, but will return to this city in
a few days. 1t is possible that he will
suggest some changes in the plans, but
the thirteen stories on Market, Geary
and Kearny streets are assured.

MAX DE BATTLE DENIES
MARRIAGE TO COUNTESS
Young British Army Officer Says
Story From New York Is
Without Foundation.

If Captain Max de Battle of London,
who. with his brother, Hugo, hus-
band of Lily Langtry, has been visiting
San Francisco for several weeks, was
married to and later divorced from
Countess Stavra of Thessaly, he has no
personal knowledge of the fact. A
telegram from New York yesterday
quoted the Countess. who recently ar
rived there, with the statement that
she was married to Captain Max de
Battle, but had separated from him.
The Countess was formerly the wife
of Charles Tilton, a capitalist of New
York, from whom she inherited her
wealth. Later she married Count
Stavra. whose widow she became
about two years ago. Her next matri-
monial adventure, she claims, with
with Captain de Bathe, but it proved
an unhappy alliance and was soon dis
solved.
When seen at the Palace Hotel yes
terday Captain Max de Battle. who
made no attempt to conceal his dis
taste for the notoriety which he has
suddenly gained. said:
II am acquainted with the Countess
and that is all / was never married
to her and consequently we could
never have been divorced. I am at
a loss for an explanation for the
strange statements she is making in
New Y ork, where I imagine she has
been striving hard to get into public
print. The story from the East is
absolutely false" 4"

Actual Value Pending ROsen-
feld'S Suit.

Max Rosenfeld's suit for an injunc-
tion against the Pioneer Automobile
Company, which was filed on Tuesday
and taken out by Attorney Eugene
Watson, was returned yesterday to
the County Clerks office with an order
from Judge Hunt restraining the de-
fendant company from selling its
property except at its actual value.
The directors of the concern, who are
individual defendants. are r. P. Brin-
egar, j. 5. Andrew. r. II. Davis, j. j..
Avis and w. A. Stringer.
1t is set forth that the Pioneer
company was incorporated with a
capital stock of 1000 shares. valued at
500 each, of which 1850 shares were
actually issued. r. P. Brinegar be-
came the holder of 10 shares with
out consideration but gave his note
in payment therefor for $1,000, con-
ditioned that ii should be paid out of
the dividends and profits of the corpo-
ration.
Rosenfeld alleges that there have
been no dividends or profits, but that
the business has been run at a loss.

PROPERTY-O WAR
OVER BUILDING OF SEWER
Board of Works Directs Disputants
to Meet i'm Private and Settle
Their Differences.

Some forty property-owners appear
ed yesterday before the Board OF
Works relative to the proposed sewer
ing, grading and macadamizing Of
Park Hill avenue. Tilden and South
Broderick streets. The majority ia
vored the work, but others protested
that the cost would be in excess or %
per cent of the value of the district
liable to assessment for the work.
After hearing the arguments on both
sides the board instructed the dlsput-
ants to meet in private and come to
some agreement. 1t was suggested
that the improvement be done by prl-
Nate instead of public contract. Healtn
Officer Ragan called attention to the
lack of proper drainage facilities IN
the locality described.
The board adopted specifications for
grading Nineteenth avenue, DetWeen
Trocadero road and Ocean avenue.
Several permits were granted for
erecting grand stands on Van Ness
avenue for the knights Templar Con-
clave,

sit Company for $3.50 damages to an
automobile which ran into an obstruc-
ton on Golden Gate avenue Will be
taken up with the street contractor.
For the second time no BIDS were
received for the poles for the Market
street illumination and new bids were
ofered to be invited.
The board ordered a communication
sent to the Chief of Police requesting
him to direct his patrolmen to stop
teamsters from driving over pavements
which have been newly repaired ana
also from knocking down the barrl-
cades surrounding the repaired por-
t1ons. The Chief was also requested
to prevent damage to 5ituminous pave
ments from the lighting Of bonfires
during political campaigns.
The board sent letter TO the United
Railroads complaining of inferior work

that better work be done in future.
