cussing Means to Protect
Honest Debtors.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 12.-An urgent
appeal was made by the San Francisco
Board of Trade to the subcommittee on
special session of the Legislature at It's
meeting this morning not to interfere in
any way with the present relations that
exist between debtors and creditors

The fear having been expressed at pre-
vious meetings OF the subcommittee that
many men especially small dealers would
be forced into involuntary bankruptcy or
harassed beyond endurance by hard
hearted creditors as soon as the Governor
shall declare the present holidays at an
end. Gavin McNab suggested that no
garnishment or attachment should be Is
sued before the applicant had made
showing before a Superior judge and his
signature obtained.
Joseph Kirk. attorney for the city board
OF trade, appeared to oppose any change
whatever In the laws as they are at pres
ent,
Asks No Change in Laws.
The wholesale merchants of this city"
he said, have no intention of harassing
those OF their debtors who are honest and
indicate an intention to pay their In
debtedness eventually, Any such act as
you propose viii not be OF any advantage
TO such men, but 1t Will be seized upon
by dishonest men. and. of course, IL Is
not the desire of your committee to pro-
tect these Leave the laws as they are
and we will be content"

Supreme Court Will Compel
General Paper Company to
Produce Books.

Beck Of this city. who, with Frank 3.
Kellogg of st. Paul. represented the
Government as special Counsel In the
case brought by the Attorney General
against the General Paper company,
last night said:
Government Counsel Pleased.
Yesterdays decision is gratifying to
the Governments counsel, but was
clearly foreshadowcd by the decision of
the Supreme court In passing upon the
refusal Of the General Paper company
to show Its books and papers. That de-
cision clearly indicated that II the facts
were as the counsel for the Govern
ment said they were, the testimony was
relevant and would support decree.
Violates Sherman Law.
1.-The real Significance OF this case
consists not merely in the import of the
decision rendered by the Supreme court
as to the power of the Government to
compel a corporation to produce Its
books and papers, Notwithstanding the
fifth and fourteenth amendments. but
In the fact that 1t was held TO be con-
trary to the provisions of the Sherman
antitrust law for a number of compet-
ing corporations TO establish a common
sales agency.
Selling Agency for All.
I'm this case some twenty-elght cor
porations. which were manufacturing

General Paper company and practically
sold all of their product through the
General Paper company to the trade.
The General Paper company fixed
the prices, made the allotments among
the mills. and after deducting a per-
centage for its expenses remitted the
balance to the constituent companies In
proportion OF their output"

can be seen. from all points on the
river more readily than at any other
place. Another good feature and one
which will benefit many is an arrange

the seasons business. After dinnnr he
read report tfom the agencies Of Ell
ders & Fife d london and Liverpool,
which In the main were corroborative
and satisfactory, only differing on
small detai Many points were
CLEANED from these reports snd let
ter from the general manager, Mr..
Ackerly which viii enable the ship
pers In the future to avoid the mis-
takes made during the first trial. The
main points were thevmethod Of pack
ing and marking and avoiding the
strawberry season in the market there.
Mr.. Hawkins gave much information
connected with the transportation of
the fruit and showed with what care
his company handled all shipments,
stating that the conslgnees were noti-
fed upon the shipment Of each lot, aud
every possible preesution taken to in-
sure rapid transit and good delivery.
Ia spite OF all this delays we're made
between Jacksonville and New York,
thus missing the proper ship at that
point, necessitating another delay, and
getting the Liverpool and SOuthamp-
ton coDsignments mixed. Arrange.
msnts are being made to eliminate
this and railroads promise to furnish
sufficient cars To- transport the fruit
with despatch.
In the general discussion ,of.the ex-
port business ~ was, sho8 3 that while
some had received very poor returns
the average was soo,i The matter OF
the proper size crate was also discus
sed at length and il was agreed the
standard size and the half size would
be used as the shipper thought best.
Each grover who has shipped dur
ing the past season expressed his in
tention of doing so the next season If
the fruit could be gathered as early as
the frs: week In June, and others who
had not been among the past sea-
sons foreign shippers will join the list,
next year. 1t could not be determined
what amount would go to foreign mar
kets and a resolution was adopted call
ing meeting of the expor: shippers
next spring when a more definite idea
could be given othow much each grow
er could put out for export, and when
it is hoped a representative OF the
British firm can be present and give
some suggestions in porson. II was

The meeting was called to order at
eleven o'clock in the Improvement
club hall, by Mr.. Hawkins, who ex-
planned the object Of the gathering.
A temporary organization was effected
by electing Jas. e, Andrews, Of Fort
Pierce, chairman, and Wallace r.
Moses, of West Palm Beach, secretary.
Jas. T.. Iugraham by request Of the
chairman gave an interesting history
of the pineapple exports from Florida,
and of bis trir to Englrnd in 1905. Dur
ing this trip he took up the question of
marketing the East Coast pines in the
British Isles, and found that there was
great demand for the fruit If it could
be gotten there IN good condition and
at a rate whereby the masses could at.
ford them, the only competition in
that line being pines from the AzorS
which we're sold at such prices that
only the rich could afford to eat them.
After many interviews and much OBJ
servation he found that by getting the
Florida pineapples into English market
ahead of the domestic strawberries
before June 20 - it would afford an eX-
cellent outlet for the surplus stock
One OF the great drawbacks is the ex-
horbitaut freight rates charged BY the
English roads, and efforts are being
made to have II reduced, which can be
accomplished II they are guaranteed
sufficient amc unit Of the fruit to haul'
Mr.. Ingraham gave his experience in
shipping to England ana Tor MS car
load of 1903 crates received over sl,2"
net His was the first large shipment
to 90 over and was shipped from his
plantation, Boca Ratone.
All the shipments this year amount
ed to over 5000 crates and were all
hand ed by Elders & Fife, who prae-
ticallv control the fruit distribution In
In view Of the fact that the
mast summers export business was IN
the nature OF an experiment and 1t
was understood some of the shippers
had not received as good returns as
others. Mr.. Ingraham asked for a re-
