FRUIT GROWERS
UNION. ADJOURNED MEETING
SET FOR OCTOBER 6.

court house. AT the last meeting
diversity of opinion DEVELOPED a,
to the purposes of organization
some being in favor of organizing
themselves into a cooperative
association for the purpose Of
building packing houses and hand
ling upon a commission basis the
crop upon the lines of the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Association
which operated so extensively two
years ago, handling two-thirds of
the entire crop of California.
The majority, however, preferred
an organization OH the lines of the
Cotton Growers Association, which
has done so much for that industry
by gathering reliable statistics of
the crop and advising its member
ship as to the natural price that
should be obtained for the crop;
and also gathering such other iu-
formation as might be of service to
the industry.
The plan is to form local unions
in the various neighborhoods that
could meet monthly and send in
crop reports as gathered at those
meetings, to the general secretary;
from these reports the secretary
could compile all estimate and
advise the secretaries of the sub
unions, who could in turn dis
seminate the information among
the members. Necessarily the
first year will be the most ex-
pensive to get reliable estimate,
as some of the counties will have
to be visited to get the information.
Another year many of the counties
will follow our move and form
unions from which these estimates
can be obtained without cost
The membership fee set at S1.OO
seemed to be the main stumbling
block, out of about 100 people
present only fourteen enrolled,
many would have joined had the
fee been less, and at the next meet
ing this will be re-considered.
The Florida East Coast, the
Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard
Air Line Railroads have been re-
to inform the Union as to-
he number of boxes of oranges
handled by each last year and an
estimate of the crop from all
stations that shipped last year. If
hey comply with the request, as
hey should, we will have in hand
as reliable an estimate as we can
get this wear.
If the growers of the county
would turn out and assist in this
as they should
membership fee of twenty-five
cents would be enough to pay the
time of stenographer to do the
of the Union, and
among its membership then would
be found persons who, could give
the names of reliable persons in
every orange growing county in
the state who would be willing to
aid the movement by giving crop
of their counties, thus,
with small outlay this information
sould be gathered year by year
md tabulated; information as to
rec pests and diseases and their
treatment would warrant the ex-

MAN-EATING TIGERS.
Dangers Faced By SpOrtsmen Who
Hunt Them.

Men who have shot the big cats Of the Indian
Jungle" all emphasize the difference between an
ordinary tiger and ''man-eater." One varies
from the other as much as a domestic pussy
from a wildcat The man-eater when It catches
sight of a hunter is at once all afame with the
passion TO devour him It has tasted human
flesh and knows its sweetness.
When the Britisher IN India goes tiger hunt
ing. therefore, he looks first Of all to his own
safety. Having learned that a tiger rarely looks
upward. he seeks a position at some distance
from the ground, as, for Instance, the howdah

The tiger usually keeps its eyes on the ground
because it finds its prey there and its enemies
also. The natural inhabitants OF the trees. the
birds and the monkeys, II holds In contempt.
But on the ground. besides the sweet-heshed
man. lives the water buffalo. its most formidable
foe. In combat the buffalo most times kills the
tiger.
The peculiar sagacity OF the elephant IS Of
great assistance to the man who hunts tigers
from the howdah. At the approach Of the big
cat the pachyderm trumpets an alarm. and II

LAW To PROVIDE
FOR WHIPPING
WIFE BEATERS

Washington. Feb. 13.-The house yester-
day had sport with the whipping post bill
for wife beaters and then laid II on the
table, effectively disposing of it by vote
OF 1853 to 60. The most impassioned speech
for the measure was delivered by Mr..
Hepburn Oa.). who depicted the brutality
OF the man who would beat his wife, and
declared that TO be whipped was hardly
adequate punishment.
Mr. Adams opened the discussion with
a serious speech in favor of the bill. All
OF the opening speeches partook OF levity.
and Mr.. Adams received more than one

The bill requiring the return OF freight
rebates was passed. also n measure relat-
Ing 10 court procedure. The rebate bill
provides that when a rebate has been re-

this amount Is TO go 10 the informant.

CONDITIONS ALARMING.
Mr. Balfour said he viewed the indus
trial conditions in the United Kingdom
with the greatest alarm. He said. pos
stbly. nations which built up industries
behind tariff walls were acting foolishly,
but nevertheless they did it, and the re-
suit undoubtedly was injurious TO the
United Kingdom. Mr. Balfour asked, was
It possible TO carry out retaliation unless
general tariff formed a part OF the
scheme7 He declined to commit himself
on that point. but he said what the coun-
try had to make up it's mind to was, Is
the end at which we are aiming worth
making a sacrifice for?
Continuing, Mr.. Balfour said that never
had government been returned with a
larger majority without a cause which
II wanted TO carry out and without any
great personality TO guide II. but he was
ready 10 concede the present government
even longer life than five years
In conclusion Mr.. Balfour welcomed tho

tion was destined TO introduce legislation

NOT THE FINAL VERDICT
Mr.. Balfour had a fattering reception
He looked rather tired and worn, but
spoke with great energy and managed to
please the various sections of the party.
Mr. Balfour maintained that the results
OF the general election could not be ac-
cepted as final verdict against fiscal re-
form. He declined TO argue the question
OF protection versus free trade. but main
tained that the policy he has hitherto ad-
vocated ts altogether apart from the con-
troversy.
Mr. Balfour said his policy was designed
90 far as might be TO diminish the bur
den on British indus tries. which policy is
hostile to the tariffs other industrial coun-
tries have imposed. In countries where
hostile tariffs did not exist it was the
intention 10 preserve neutral markets.
and at the same time preserve the inter-
ests OF the British colonies on an equal
footing. 1t was. he said. policy In

WILL ASK FOR
EXTRAD|T|ON
OF EX-HUSBAND

New York, Feb 13.-Here is sad news
for the Almony club: District Attorney
Jerome is to be asked 10 avail himself
of an almost unknown law. which permits
the indictment and extradition OF man
who fails to obey court order directing
him to pay alimony for the support Of
his wife or child.
This test case is 20 be made In a pro-
ceeding brought IN the supreme court BY
Mrs. Isabella Mckay against her husband.
Alexander Mckay, IN which she obtained
recently from Justice Greenbaum a decree
OF limited divorce on the ground OF cruelty
and non-support. a Under this judgment
Mckay the contractor who built j. Pier
pont Morgan's library and art gallery, was
directed 10 pay his wife $3.50 a week all
mony for her support and that OF their
little daughter Ethel
The McKays were married on Dec. IS,
1897. Ethel being their only child. In her
suit Mrs. Mckay said that her husband
almost strangled her In an attempt TO
force her to give up her marriage certif-
cate, and that he then deserted her. Mrs.
Mckay was represented by Lawyer
George Robinson OF 30 Nassau street. Nc
Kay retained Howe & Hummel To defend
the suit. Mrs. Mckay asserts that after
she had begun her suit her husband wrote
her as follows
Dear Belle: VIII you not have pity on
me and come back and make my soul
happy again? Belle l am dying for you:
/ love you more than ever i did, because
/ am miserable without you and Ethel
Come and we will be happy again. Poor
girl. / will watch for you all day to-
morrow Hear my prayer, love. and make
me happy. Your loving ALEX"
When the case came on for trial. Mr.
Mckay did not appear. His wife and
child were I'm court and there was a
dramatic scene when Ethel told the judge
how her father had abused her mother
and herself and had threatened TO cut
their throats.
Justice Greenbaum then requested Law
yer Robinson To enter an interlocutory
decree. which was made final a few days
ago.
Mckay left the city and Mrs. Mckay
then asked her lawyer II IL were not
possible TO compel her husband TO support
the child at least Mr.. Robinson ascer-
tanned that on April last the legislature
had passed an amendment TO the penal
code relating to the abandonment of chill
dren. IL became law and provides that:
"A parent or other person charged with
the care or custody for nurture or edu-
cation OF a child under the age OF l6 years
who abandons the child in destitute cir
cumstances and wilfully omits TO furnish
necessary and proper food, clothing and
punishable by Imprisonment OF not more
than two years, or by a fine not 10 excegd
$780, or by both"
IL Is under this section OF the law that
Mr. Robinson seeks to have Mckay In
dicted and extradited.
