WHITE SWANS
OWNERS IN ROW
Quarrel Takes Place Over
Annual Election and the
Officers Will Not Act
BOOKS ARE REMOVED
Unless Stockholders Meet
Again, Says King, Must
Have a Receiver Named

There was an inharmonius meeting
Of shareholders of the White Swan
Mines Company on Tuesday in room
5Sf CrOssley building. Dr. c. H. King
of wabash, Ind, president of the com
pany, arrived in San Francisco on Mon
day morning last specially 10 attend
the annual meeting, which was called
for the purpose of electing officers for
the ensuing year and hearing the re-
ports Of the treasurer, Ole Scar Of Lake
Mills, Iowa, and the secretary, c. H
Stuller OF Baker City, Or.
DR.. King speaking yesterday OF the
meeting, said that while the treasurer
reported that there was $500 cash in
hand, the secretary made no report
Both Scar and King stated that there
was some feeling against Stuller on the
part Of some Eastern stockholders,
arising out OF reports emanating from
certain persons in Baker City.
King said that the Illinois Club, COM
posed of Illinois men owning interests
in the White Swan. sent their proxies
out TO san Francisco. but at the meet
ing IL was noted that they were dated
June instead of June s.
Upon this showing, said King, Sec
retarv Stuller quickly objected to al
lowing the proxies to be voted. This
was in defiance Of Kings ruling In
the midst Of the argument the present
er Of the proxies walked out of the
meeting Stuller, having sufficient
proxies, elected his own slate. on which
were DR.. King and Scar. as officers.
When the two found that they could
not harmonize the factions they i'm
nediately resigned their Offices. King
stands by the financial soundness of
the company. He said that the mine
had already produced in the neighbor-
hood Of 100000 and that 1t was shut
down owing to Letson Balliets acts.
II the shareholders had done their
whole duty, said King. the mine would
to-day be paying good dividends.
Both King and Scar admitted that
the conditions were such that but two
alternatives present themselves-either
10 call another stockholders meeting at
once and elect new officers or place
the company In the hands Of a receiver.
King expects that an extra stockhold-
ers' meeting viii be called in order to
prevent the mine going into a receiv-
er's hands.
When asked II the secretary's books
and accounts had been examined. King
and Scar said they had not.
During the early part OF the inter
view with DR.. King and Scar an ex-
pressman entered the Office and was
given two trunks on the presentation
OF an order. On inquiry as TO whether
the trunks belonged to Secretary Stul-
ler. King admitted that they did. Asked
II the books were in the trunks. King
replied, i do not know, but it is a fact
that Stuller took the Books away
King said that in any event he would
leave this morning for Wabash.

BUGS ARE PUT
IN ICE CHEST
Destroyers of Pests Meet
Odd Fate While Waiting
for Birth of Their Foes
RAPIERS ARE SHEATHED
Commissioner Cooper Will
Resume the Goblin Moth
War When Apples Ripen

Horticultural Commissioners Cooper,
vested by law with large discretionary
powers, has been brought to a standstill
in one direction by a cause difficult for
the layman to guess off-hand. The ar
rival of the destroyer of the dreaded cod
lin moth. the enemy of the apple. has
been widely heralded. Indeed, that de-
stroyer, armed with a snarp and rapie-
like blade. has made itself felt in some
California orchards and has given great
promise as promoter of crops that have
heretofore been decimated by the Goblin
moth.
This famous moth proceeds from a
worm. Given worms enough, and the de-
stroyer keeps busy. stabbing its prey to
death. and depositing in its carcass eggs
to produce innumerable other destroyers
in time. But now the operations of the
Horticultural Commissioner have been
interfered with because the supply of
Goblin moth worms has run short. The
first result is that 10000 warriors import
ed from the south of Europe in pupa
state have been put on ice In this city.
In the solitude of refrigerating chests
their animation is arrested and their
martial ardor is chilled.
Mr.. Ehrhorn of the Horticultural Com
missioner's staff told the interesting story
yesterday. The Goblin moth destroyers
that were sent in colonies to California
orchards were busy. The breeding colo
MES in the ferry building in this city had
to be put on ice while the eggs that
have been deposited by the Goblin moth
in ripening apples have a chance to come
to maturity as worms. The wormy apples
will drop to the ground after while.
The Goblin moth worms in the apples will
creep to the apple trees under which they
lie and will attempt to crawl up under
the bark, there to perform their share
in the work of keeping up the moth sup
ply.
There are not enough worms now III
view TO supply the Horticultural Depart
ment There will be more soon. The Hor
ticultural Commissioner to catch them
all has advised the farmers to put bands
on their apple trees for the worms to
crawl under. The worms are fooled in
this way and get into a trap instead of
being sheltered under the bark of a tree.
AS soon as this happens the express peo-
pie will have worms for transporta ton.
Then the destroyer of the Goblin moth
will cease to hibernate. 1t will resume
business in the ferry building, and Goblin
moth worms will die that apples may
thrive.
