harbor, the Nelson-Napier steamer Nell
lie, with a load of passengers bound
from San Pedro for Long Beach, ran on

has made her regular trips today.

V0GT IN SANTA BARBARA
International Secretary of Christian
Endeavor Societies Is Coming
to Los Angeles

Special to The Herald.
SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 21.-Von
Ogden Vogt, the International secretary
of the Christian Endeavor societies, ar
rived from the north tonight and will
remain until tomorrow morning, when
he will go south to Los Angeles.
The Santa Barbara County Christian
Endeavor convention met in the Pres
byterian church for a session this af-
ternoon. Considerable business was
transacted. A union meeting of the
Endeavor societies of this city was held
at the Grace Methodist church tonight.
Secretary Vogt was the principal
speaker. The church choirs united
their forces and there was chorus music
under the leadership of c. e. Arnold.
Tomorrow morning Secretary Vogt
will be taken over the mountain drive
by members of the local city union and
will be entertained by them until his
departure in the afternoon.
The most important point made in
the Careaga case up to date was
brought up by Mrs. Sammann's attor-
neys shortly before court adjourned
this afternoon. Attorney Roach sub
mitted a copy of the judgment roll of
the divorce proceedings between Figue-
roa and his wife in 1877, saying that
by it he would show that in the COM
plaint Mrs. Figueroa stated under oath
that the only children of her union
with Figueroa were her eldest son
Tony and her daughter Josepha, now
Mrs. Harris of Los Angeles. Having
proved by witnesses that Juan Care
aga was cognizant with all the points
of the divorce, and had actually en-
ployed and paid the attorney who
prosecuted the action for Mrs. Figue-
roa, this document would be of the
greatest value to the intervenor and
would go a long way toward proving
that Mrs. Samman is the daughter of
Careaga and not of Figueroa.

FRUIT CIRCLES
MUCH AG|TATED
SAN BERNARDIN0 EXCHANGE
LOSES MEMBERSHIP
East Highlands and RedIands Fruit
Growers Associations Withdraw
and Form an Independent
Organization
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 21.-A
move in fruit circles has been made in
this valley that is believed by many
fruit men to portend the complete dis
ruption of the County Fruit exchange
one of the links in the chain of the
Southern California Fruit exchange.
This week the East Highland Fruit
Growers association and the Redlands
Fruit Growers association have an
nounced their withdrawal from the San
Bernardino County Fruit exchange, and
have organized the Redlands-H Highland
Fruit exchange, which will be affiliated
directly with the Southern California
Fruit exchange.
The new exchange controls about 1000
cars of oranges. or nearly one-half the
fruit formerly controlled by the county
exchange. The movers in this plan
state that their action is taken not be-
cause they do not like the county eX-
change. but because they wish to get in
closer touch with the main offices than
change. 1t is also said they desire to
have their fruit featured more in the
market.
An effort is being made to get the
Bryn Mawr and Drew associations into
the new organization, and this would
take about 200 more cars away from
the county exchange. Inducements
were held out to the Highland Orange
Growers association, but. its contracts
would not permit withdrawal. The
head offices of the new organization
will be in Redlands.

 business and had not attempted to de fraud anyone He declared that he
 employed an advance agent who went from house to house and explained the plan. Wherever her explanation met
 with favor he followed and collected the dollar. making final arrangements.
