Los ANGELES. Oct. lis ]. o.
Simons, the banker Of Los Angeles
Camp No. 400. Woodmen of the World,
lost in the wilds of the San Bernardino
Mountains? Is he demented and stray
ing among strangers, or has he flown
from Los Angeles to escape the deficit
OF almost $1,000 that is said TO have been
discovered in the accounts of the Los
Angeles Camp? This last suggestion
appears to explain the reason for the
sudden disappearance of the well
known Woodman and dancing master,
for complaint was lodged against him
yesterday in Justice Young's court by
officers of the organization of which he
was the treasurer.
Simons disappeared October 8, leav
ing his wife penniless. Simons had
been acting queerly for some time. 1t
is said that he had been drinking con-
siderably and that he had been gamb-

RAISIN PACKERS SAID
TO HAVE FORMED COMBINE
Reported to Have Joined Forces In
Order TO Hold Down
the price

FRESNO, Oct. 1s.-It is reported
that the raisin packers have entered
irto a combine and bonded themselves
to hold down the price to be paid the
grower and prevent bidding against
each other. The grower will not be
offered more than 2 cents for his new
goods. according to the report.
Color is lent to this report by the
little bidding or business being done.
The disposal of the holdover crop at
advanced figures is the first concern
of the packers. 1t has been reasoned
that by manifesting no interest in the
new goods and talking low prices. the
growers will be again reduced to the
Generalization point and become anx-
ious to sell at whatever is offered.
Because of the damage by rain, es-
timated at from 40 to so per cent,
the growers are holding for cents,
as a conservative figure.

IN SHADOW OF GALLONS
AFTER A LONG FIGHT
Chinese Murderer of San Jose, After
Three Trials and Appeals, at
Last to Hang.

SAN JOSE, Oct. IA dispatch re-
ceived at the District Attorneys Office
tonight announces that the United
States Supreme Court at Washington
to-day dismissed the writ of error in
the case of people versus Lee Look.
The Chinese has been tried three times
for the killing of Lee Wing in this city
four years ago.
Once the jury disagreed, next time
he was convicted of murder and sem
fenced to be hanged, but the case
was successfully appealed, because the
information failed to recite that the
murdered man was a human being.
He was again tried and convicted and
again appealed, this time averring err
ror on the part of the committing
magistrate. Then the judgment Of
the lower court was affirmed and the
defendant went to the United States
Supreme Court on a writ of error. 1t
is believed Lee Look has exhausted
his resources and that his execution
cannot be further delayed.

SPEAKS TO GREAT THRoNG.
Senator Fairbanks Addresses Voters of
Greater New York.

Greater New York.
NEW YORK. Oct. 19.-The Repub-
lican mass meeting held in Brooklyn
tonight at the Clermont Rink was adj
dressed by Senator Fairbanks and Sec
rotary of the Treasury Shaw. The rink
was crowded and the audience a most
enthusiastic one. Previous to the
meeting the speakers were entertained
a. dinner by Former Lieutenant Gov
ernor Woodruff. George Roberts pre-
sided and introduced Senator Fair
banks as the first speaker. Senator
Fairbanks said:
We are to decide at the ballot-box in No
,vember whether to approve or reject the ad-
ministration OF President Roosevelt What his
administration is We know We witness its
fruits about every day. Under IL we are
enjoying unprecedented prosperity in all the
avenues OF human activity. There is peace

has more successfully administered our public
affairs? Let US be candid about it, Let US
not unfairly judge what has been accomplished.

Fairbanks addressed a mass meeting
in Madison Square Garden tonight.
Former Secretary of War Root pre-
sided and in opening the meeting spoke
chiefly of national issues. The applause
that followed his mention OF the name
of Roosevelt lasted seventeen minutes.
George A. Knight of San Francisco,
who was introduced as a representative
of the United States west of the Mis-
souri, River, also spoke. Knight said
there would be no disposition on his
part unnecessarily to criticise Judge
Parker, but the Democratic candidate
for President by his own words had
laid himself open to criticism by a
student of public affairs. Every speech
by Parker seemed to be an effort on
his part to impress on the public mind
the fact known to every schoolboy that
this nation has three branches of the
Government executive, judicial and
legislative.
Judge Parker's one idea of opposi-
ton to the Republican party seems to
be based on his fear that one of the
branches of the Government will en-
croach on another branch" he said.
His fear that this will come to pass
evidently has prevented him from
lucidly discussing the questions in
which the voters are most interested -
