FAILED TO ORGANIZE.
California Raisin Growers Deprived of
Organization Benefits.

FRESNO, Cal. August 2-After two
months of strenuous effort to get the raisIn
growers into line for the season. the Cali
fornta Raisin Growers Association through
President r. h. Madsen, has abandoned all
EFFORTS to preserve the associate and an
n"unced that all contracts so far signed
would DE returned. This has been. brous hit
about by the failure of the association TO
reach an agreement with the packers and
or growers To join the association.
Every grower in the valley must now do
the best ne can for himself without aid
from any organization whatever. 1t is be-
ieved that the result will be the failure of
many raisin growers.
The association has been in existence for
SIX years, and has handled about three mil
non dollars worth of raisns a year repre-
sehting iI,SS acres of grape land The
low price OF raisins caused the downfall of
the association.
AT the beginning of the season this year
there still remained on hand 1903 cases of
last years crop. This fact. with an outlook
Tor poor season this year, seemed TO
cause a loss of faith in the association But
E.iS acres of the 5000 acres were signed
up this year.
The association will remain in existence
this year only long enough 10 dispose of the
huld-oNc or crop. Another attempt To revive
Ii will be made next year.

LEGATION HEARS NEWS.
Welcome Telegram Received From
Government at Tokyo.

The Japanese legation has received the
following official cablegram from the for
eign Office at Tokyo. dated today:
General kurok reports that at daybreak
of July 81 our army commenced operations
for attacking the enemy occupying Yushul-
intzu. -four miles west of Hsihoyen) and
Yangtzuling (six miles west of Motienling)
both places situated about twenty-five miles
from Lao Yang. The enemy at Yushul
intzu consisted of two divisions with COR
responding artillery.
THE attacking operations were carried out
as prearranged and by sunset we defeated
both wings of the enemy. but owing to their
large force and strong positions were I'M
able to dislodge them entirely. At day
break of August l We resumed the attack
and succeeded in expelling the enemy at
noon and pursued them four miles in the
westward direction. The enemy fed to-
ward Anping
THE enemy at Yangtzuling consisted of
two and a half divisions with four batteries
of artillery. The attacking operations there
also progressed successfully. and by sun
set we carried the enemy's principal posi-
tons, but portion of them offered the
stoutest resistance, and we had to bivouack
the night in battle formation.
"At daybreak of August l we resumed
the attack. and at am. all heights fell
into our hands. The enemy fled toward
Tangheyen. The casualties are under in
vestigation. We captured some field guns
but details are still unknown. In this en-
gagement the attacking forces were at
steepness of the ground and, secondly on
account of the lack of suitable positions for
our artillery, while the heat was over 1OO
degrees Fahrenheit"

Offending Sailors DISCHARGED.

1t Is said at the Navy Department that
the extent of the alleged sale Of "favors'
on the receiving ship Hancock at New
York was that three men had been found
guilty of irregular transactions and had
been discharged from the navy as ''un-
desirable" These men were Grant Green
and John Carslund. chief yeamen. and
Isaac White, landsman. These men held
fairly confidential positions near the cap
tain and executive of the vessel and by
reason of their access to the records had
opportunities of helping their friends and
others. 1t appears from the official inves-
tigation that they received pay for such
favors. varying in amount from 81 to So
For these payments they would change the
rating of from landsman to coal
passer and then to fireman, secOnd-cfass,
each carrying increase of pay. They
also placed the names of contributors on
the liberty list in advance of their turn
and on details to what were considered
desirable ships. So far as known the ir-
regularities were confined to the men who
had been discharged.

A DISTRICT CLAIM
DEvELoPNENT INCIDENTAL TO
THE sTUTLER INQUIRY.
Former Contractor Alleges That He
Failed to Receive Full Pay
for Work Performed.

There was new ana unexpected devel-
opment today incidental to and growing out
or the investigation into the charges against
warner Stutier, the superintendent Of street
Cleaning. Mr.. Royal Robinson, who pre-
Ierred charges of maladministra ton against
Supt. Stutler. today informed Commissioner
w est that he intends to present to the Com
mfssioners claim against the District for
aiieged street sweeping, claimed to have
been performed while Lilly Robinson
were contractors for street sweeping and
for which work Robinson alleges the con-
tractors received no pay
The amount of the claim, it Is estimated
will be about 500 or 500. Mr.. Robinson
called at the District building today and ex-
amined the records and schedules of street
sweeping covering the period that Lilly &
Robinson were contractors for that class
of work. He also examined the present
schedules.
After making his investigation Mr.. Robin
son called on Mr.. West and stated that his
nrm did not receive pay for sweeping the
area tabout 5000 square YARDS on 10Th
street between Pennsylvania avenue and
New York avenue. He claimed that his
firm swept by machines PENNSYLVANIA ave-
nue. from the Peace monument to 18th
street including that portion Of 18th street
between Pennsylvania avenue and New
York avenue. He stated that he finds that
the area between the Peace monument and
I'th street for sweeping which he was
pald. does not include that portion of 18th
street between Pennsylvania avenue and
New York avenue. He mentioned that Mr.
Rusk Is now being paid additional for
sweeping the part Of 18th street referrrd to-
Alleges Incorrect Area.
Mr.. Robinson stated that he believes his
nrm swept a greater area than they were
pair for. in that the measurement of the
area between the Peace monument and 18th
street was incorrect. He therefore will
present the District a bill for the amount
which he thinks is due him.
When asked about this new matter TODAY
superintendent Stutler stated that it would
take some time to run over the records and
schedules of his office to determine the ac-
curacy OF Mr.. RObinson's claim 1t is as
certained from the present schedule that
the portion of 10Th street referred to is
placed on the schedule separately and the
area is not included in the area between
Tn Peace monument and 18th street Elk
animation of schedules of a number of
years ago shows that 18th street at that
time was also swept separately, and that
the area was paid for outside of the area
between the Peace monument and 18th
street.
The superintendent Of street cleaning was
not able late this afternoon to report on
the matter, but states that he feels sure
that Lilly & Robinson were paid for the
sweeping they performed.
