STATES FRUIT
IS A HOQDOO
Display on Exhibition at
st. Louis Is a Disgrace to
California and the West
GROWERS INDIFFERENT
Attempts to Collect Needed
Supplies Meet With Fail
ure That Is Discouraging

Fruit growers in Northern and Cen
trail California are refusing to send
fresh fruit to st. Louis for exhibition
at the Exposition. The California
Commissioners at st. Louis are COM
planning, but without avail. The San
Francisco representative Of the Cali
fornia Commissioners at st. Louis, un-
der instructions, has taken steps to get
fresh fruit to forward for exhibition
purposes, but has become discouraged
and is no longer striving in that direc-
ton. In these three statements are out
lined conditions that are somewhat
surprising and disappointing.
Mr.. Barry, who represents the absent
commissioners while they are out of
this State, was directed by Commits
sioner j. A. Filcher some time ago to
see what could be done to get good
fruit to show at st. Louis to advertise
California. A letter was written to
Barry by Filcher in which bad fruit
that had been previously forwarded
was characterized as mot fit to be fed
to hogs" and it was averred that the
quantity that was forwarded was as
insufficient as the quality was bad.
Filcher is a fruit grower and is en-
tirely familiar with the fruit Of Cali
fornia, having acted several times as
representative of this State at worlds
fairs at Buffalo, at Belgium, at At
lanta and he was at Paris when the
Southern Pacific Company exhibited
California products at an exposition.
He has been manager of the California
State Board of Trade several years.
All this experience has fitted him to
know whether the quality of fresh fruit
that is sent from California 10 st.
Louis is up to the standard. Emphati-
cally he declares that it is not, fact
strongly emphasized by the correspond
ence of The Call at st. Louis. States
that are not in the class with California
are reported to be making better fruit
display than this State is.
When Barry was directed to commu-
nicate with fruit growers of Northern
and Central California and to take the
steps necessary to get the real goods he
went to Sacramento to confer with the
Executive Committee of the Sacra-
mento Valley Development Association
Since then, so Mr. Barry says, he has
learned through Secretary Beard of
the Sacramento Valley Development
Association that some fruit growers
have written to the association in re-
sponse to queries that were urgent in
their character that there was no use
for Barry to come to them. One state
ment made by fruit grower was that
he objected to sending fruit because
some that had been forwarded earlier
was credited to Southern California

DEFAULTING COLLECTOR
is ARRESTED IN OHIO
William Ruisinger, Wanted for Eel
Ony EmbezzIement, Is Recog-
niZed by a Photograph.

Chief Whitman received a dispatch
yesterday morning from John f.
O'Connor, Chief of Police of Column
bus. Ohio, that William Ruisinger was
under arrest there, having been recog-
nized by a photograph on a circular
sent from here. Detective Whitaker
viii leave for Columbus at once.
Ruisinger is wanted here on a
charge of felony embezzlement. He
was employed as bookkeeper and col
lcctor by Roediger & 'Loesch of the
Vienna bakery, III Larkin street, and
disappeared on June 81. The firm
estimated that his defalcations would
amount to about $500. For several
weeks prior to his departure he had
collected money from customers and
had reported to his employers that the
customers were in the country. On
the day of his departure he had col
lected several hundred dollars. He
had been employed by the firm for
five years. He left a wife and child
to the care of his parents.

Sample Was Not Duplicated.

w. P. A. Brewer OF the San Mateo
Dairy, charged by the Health Board
with having adulterated his cream,
complained to Health officer Ragan
yesterday that an injustice had been
done him. Brewer admitted having
a package of thickening on his prem
ises. but said it was a sample and had
never been used. Ragan said that the
inspector who had taken a sample of
cream from Brewers place had ne
elected to give duplicate sample to
Brewer for private analysis and thinks
Brewer may have some ground for
complaint on that score only. 1t also
appears that Haas Brothers were
innocent of any wrongdoing and
merely handled Murphy & Paurs
cream, which was adulterated.
The San Francisco call., 1904-09-02

general apathy, so Mr.. Barry says, has
discouraged him. One party even rec
commended that he should go to the
canneries to get the best California
fruit to send to st. Louis. He did not
think that this was the proper and dig
nified way to get up a California hor-
ticultural show. What will next hap
pen is uncertain.
Farmers are forwarding products to
an extent, but the quality of much of
the fruit is still reported to be unsatis-
factory. Commissioner Filcher is
fuming at st. Louis because his ef-
forts are insufficient to induce the
fruit growers to make the best show
they can. Barry is awaiting additional
instructions at this end of the line,
willing to carry them out promptly.
The fruit growers are, in the mean
time, wasting a golden opportunity to
have their products seen bv the Expo
sition crowds. No one is collecting
fruit in California in behalf Of the Cali
fornia Commission.

WHEALAHAN CHARGED
WITH MANSLAUGHTER
Testimony at Coroners Inquest Shows
That Charles Lewis Had Abused
the Accused for Several Days.

Coroner Leland held an inquest yes
terday upon the body of Charles
Lewis, a lather, who died at the Cen
trail Emergency Hospital on August
% of hemorrhage of the brain. The
jury returned a verdict thai Lewis
came to his death by a fall caused
by blow given by Michael Wheala-
han and they charged Whealahan
with manslaughter.
The testimony showed that a quar-
rel had existed between the accused
and Lewis for several days, Lewis,
while intoxicated, having persisted in
abusing Whealahan. They met in a
beer saloon and upon Lewis proceed
ing to abuse Whealahan again, the
latter struck him a violent blow on
the head, causing him to fall and re-
ceive the injuries from which he
afterward died.

ANNUAL REPORT FILED
Commissioners Desire That
New Laws Be Enacted for
Regulation Of Business

The annual report of the State Build
ing and Loan Commission, recently
submitted to Governor Pardee. shows
that unusual prosperity exists in Cali
fornia. There has been great progress
in home building during the last year
and all institutions engaged in loan
ing money for this purpose are getting
along In splendid shape. The loans
during the last year have increased
s., ,046, 1875 81 and there is net gain in
total assets of SLAP, 100 80. The shares
in force have increased from 564,294 to
$40, ,622 and memberships from 53,S76 to
$685. The new loans during the year
amounted to 1909, making the number
of borrowers 15.205.
There are 126 building and loan as
sociations which submitted reports.
New homes for 243S persons were con-
structed, making an aggregate of 21,004
buildings erected by loan associations
In the history of the State. The re-
port states that the number of asso-
Citations is gradually decreasing, while
the number of shares increases. This
means that the large concerns are alb
sorbing the smaller ones. The net per-
centage of profit on loans is SAT.
1t is recommended that laws be
passed preventing too early maturity
of contracts. 1t is said that this sort
of business has wrecked some COM
panies and will drive others upon the
rocks if persisted in. The laws Great
ing the board are stated to be INSULT
cient and not clearly defined. 1t is fur
ther recommended that laws be made
providing for the creation and main
tenance of a reserve fund in all build
ing and loan associations.

Mrs. Alvido Kurin and Miss Lena
McCann, a pretty 17-year-old lass,
dwell in the same house at 217h Perry
street and Miss McCann had Mrs. Ku-
rim arrested for calling her a worry un-
complimentary name. The girls COM
plant was corroborated by her mother
and young lady friend, both of whom
claimed to have overheard the objec-
tionable title. Mrs. Kurin not only de-
MED having used the epithet alleged,
but declared that it had been applied
to her by Miss McCann. This testi-
mony was corroborated by Mrs. John
son, who dwells on Florida street, and
who was ready to swear, if necessary,
that Mrs. Kurin was incapable of ut
tering such language. So fatty con-
Trajectory was the testimony that there
was nothing else for the Judge to do
than dismiss the case and advise the
ladies to kiss and make UP. The advice
seemed to be wasted.

]. ]. Paulsell. formerly police judge
at Stockton and now a professional
evangelist. was arrested for distribut-
ing tracts in Golden Gate Park, and
before Judge Cabaniss he conducted
his own defense and pleaded a consti-
tutional right TO do what he had been
arrested for doing. The municipal or
dinance which he was accused of vio-
lating does not harmonize with the
constitution Of the United States, he
argues, as the latter instrument confers
upon the people untrammeled freedom
to express and prOmulgate religious
teaching. irrespective of creed. The
effort to restrain him from circulating
religious literature was, therefore, at
variance with the highest authority in
the land. He proposed TO make a test
case Of IT and if he were convicted he
would appeal to a higher tribunal The
Judge then. as a matter Of form, pro-
nounced him guilty as charged and
stated that he would give himself un-
til next Saturday to consider the mat
ter Of imposing a fine.

Three little girls, Edith and Essie
MaXton and Eta Shindler, were COM
plainants against ]. Lighters horse
and Mr.. Leighter himself was a de-
fendant before Judge Conlan on the
charge of leaving the animal unhitched.
The maidens testified that the horse
was allowed to roam at will in the
vicinity Of Sixteenth street and Red
wood court and that while they were
at play it sneaked up behind them,
snatched their straw hats and deliber-
ately ate them. Moreover, when they
attempted TO rescue their headgear, the
voracious equine snapped at them. Mr..
Leighter denied that the horse was
either starved or vicious of character
and opined that If the youngsters
would let him-the horse-alone he
would utterly ignore their hats. Case
continued till September to afford
Mr.. Leighter time to present character
testimony in behalf of the horse.

1t was in perfunctory way, rather
than with expectation of finding the
strange man there, that Mrs. Rosie
Franuechi of 61O1k Francisco street
peered underneath her bed last Sat
urday evening. She had done the same
thing every night since her early girl
hood and repeated disappointment had
gradually dispelled her fear, but the
habit remained. So when she finally
discovered him she was as much sur
prised as If she had not always looked
for him just before retiring to slumber
and in her astonishment she did ex-
actly contrary to what she had made
up her mind to do in such a situation.
Instead Of screaming for help and
rushing from the apartment, she burst
into song and began arranging the
bedcovers. A deep and prolonged snore
from the intruder indicated that he
slept and contributed to the woman's
quick recovery of her self-possession.
Then she realized that it would be use
less to call for aid, as nobody was
within hailing distance, and she also
suspected that her unlimited visitor

get iler out of the room so that he
could plumber it. A Weighing of these
facts and probabilities fixed her pur-
pose. She accepted the next snore as
her cue for action.
Hi, you, in there she shouted;
come out and git OUT"
The response was a snore deeper and
longer than any of its predecessors.
Come out o that!' she yelled.
Another snore. Then she reached her
hand underneath the bed, grasped a
trousers-leg and jerked and pulled until
she brought TO light a coalblack negro
with a most villainous countenance.
What's de mattah?" he inquired,
rubbing his eyes.
You git out o here at once!" COM
manded Mrs. Franuechi, pointing to
the door.
Without a word the negro walked
out.
And what did you do then?" asked
Police Judge Conlan. before whom Mrs.
Franuechi recounted her adventure.
Il went on making up the bed" she
laughingly replied, and then 1 went
TO sleen."
The negro was arrested about twen
ty-four hours later in a bedroom at
tached to the restaurant of A. Carasio,
1897 Montgomery avenue. He was ran
sacking the apartment when discov-
cred and he crawled underneath the
bed whence he was extracted by a
policeman summoned by Carasio. At
the City Prison he was registered as
Elias Linzey. Judge Conlan sent him
to the Superior Court to answer for
two charges of burglary.

Fairbanks OF Indiana, the vice presiden-
tial candidate, came neal being comrades
in arms with President Roosevelt in the
war with Spain. Few, il any, of his
friends are aware that he volunteered
his services in defense of the flag. Sen
ator Fairbanks has never alluded to it
in conversation, and only by the merest
chance has it become known. ReQuir-
ing a biographical sketch Of the vice

poses, the Republican National Commit
tee enlisted the services OF w. III. Smith

and a personal friend of Senator Fair
banks. To aid him in his work Mr..
Smith was given access to a collection of

Mount of Indiana to Senator Fairbanks
In response to the Senator's tender of his
services. The letter reads:

n FIRST VOTE,
Why Young Men Should Cast Their
First Ballot for Roosevelt.

A young mans first vote for Presi-
dent is the most important one he will
ever cast and may affect himself as we'll
as the country beneficially or the reverse.
The young American approaches his.
twenty-first birthday with a feeling Of
pride tinged with solemnity. He knows
that henceforth the constitution and laws
invest him with all the rights Of citi-
zenship. No matter how we'll equipped
he may have been to exercise these
rights before, he cannot do so until he
is twenty-one years old. He has waited
impatiently fer the time when he could
vote, and long before it arrives be has
begun to consider carefully how he
should cast his first ballot. He remem-
bers how his father voted and decides
whether he will follow in his fathers
footsteps or not. He recalls what he
knows Of history, weighs the platforms
and issues carefully. and tries to reach
a conscientious conclusion as to how he
should vote. This is right. He puts his
best thoughts and conscience into his
first vote, as he ought to.
No subsequent vote ever receives quite
the same careful thought. The first vote
decides a young mans party affiliations.
and after that he is apt to follow in the
path in which he has started. Hence
the Importance of starting right. Hun
dreds OF thousands Of men to-day are
proud because they cast their first vote
for Abraham Lincoln, General Grant or
William Mckinley, while other hundreds
Of thousands are sorry that they cast
their first vote for the defeated oppo-
nents of these men.
A young mans first vote for President
is the most important one he will ever
cast because it may determine the DO
litical associations Of his whole life ana
make or mar his career. Therefore.
every first voter should cast his ballot for
the student, author, soldier, patriot and
statesman, Theodore Roosevelt.
