him to come far, for, while Mr.. Slngg was
arguing the point in favor of Bilch, he made
flying leap toward the door. The specta-
tors rose to their feet, and all of them
were shouting at the same moment. Bryan
knew from the cries that he had a few friends

Mr.. Barney Bilch wore very long face,

to assault him.

TRUSTEES SUE FOR
$50, 600 DAMAGES
SAY THEY ARE LIBELED {
NEWSPAPER
Three Members of Ocean Park Board
Each Ask $4,000 for Cartoon
and Verse Appearing
in Print

Another chapter in the Ocean Park
troubles was opened yesterday, when
three libel suits involving an aggregate of
$150000 were filed in the superior court. In
the scramble for hegemony some of the
citizens are said to have called others
anything but gentlemen, and several fac
tions were formed.
One of these favors disincorporation OF
Ocean Park, which is a city of the sixth
class as means of ousting from office
certain officials whose acts failed to meet
their appreciation.
Following closely upon the arrest of d.
G. Holt on a charge of criminal libel
brought by City Attorney Anderson and
others are the libel suits, which are based
upon a cartoon and reading matter which
appeared in the Ocean Park outlook Sep
tember "a. Holt is the editor OF the Out
look.
In the first of the three suits w. H.
Anderson is the plaintiff naming as de-
PENDANTS the Outlook Printing and Pub
fishing company, d. G. Holt, Abbot Kin
ney, the Abbot Kinney company, j, M.
White T. A. Aisvitt, J. A. Stanwood
Lewis E. Bredt, ]. G. French, L. r. Tay-
lor, Ella G. Slauson and c. A. Starrow.
The plaintiff alleges Holt to be the edi-
tor of the paper, and also that in his
capacity as such he caused to be printed
a certain false cartoon in which the plain
tiff is made to appear as a hideous vam-
pire
A copy of the cartoon is included in the
complaint, and represents Ocean Park as
sleeping maiden whose dreams are dis
turbed by the appearance of what are
supposed to be three vampires, labeled
Anderson, Jones and Burks.
At the bottom of the cartoon are some
verses to which the complainants take
exception.
The plaintiff further alleges that the
cartoon and reading matter were pub
lished with a view to holding him up to
public ridicule and obloquyS and to ruin
his professional business and reputation.
He asks damages in the sum of $4,000.
The other two suits are similar in every
detail, the same defendants are named
and a like amount of damages asked. One
is brought by Dana Burks and the other
by G.. M. Jones.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The declining ten
dency of prices in stocks today was more
marked than yesterday, although 1t was little
changed In character Of the. market for its
dullness and narrow professionalism. The Incl
dents most harped upon were the poor recep-
tion given to the announcemetn OF supscrip-
tion privileges on New York, New Haven &
Hartford stock and the approach or the oct'
/ settlements in the money market.
The low temperatures in the west and the
news that the head of the Union Pacihc system
had undergone operation also were en-
ployed by the bears with some effect in their
attack on prices.
Aggressive operations by bear party were
manifest in the dealings and common report

cline In the earlier part of the year. Pressure

ORANGE IN THIS COUNTRY
is TRACED TO sPANlARDs
Long Development Has Been Neces
sary to Secure Product

The orange is not indigenous to America
The numerous instances of wild oranges found
growing in Florida and South America can be
traced to the early explorations OF the Portu-
guese and Spaniards. The seeds planted by
them bore an inferior fruit compared with the
delicious product Of the present time. They
were sour anc somewhat bitter. =
Sixty years ago Captain Haines planted some
Sicily orange seeds to be cultivated as shade
trees in Lake county. Florida. In later years
these trees produced fruit of very fne navor.
Grove owners IN after years budded the native
stock and thereby gave an impetus to orange
culture
few years after Captain Haines planted his
seed a gentleman living In Tampa bay bought
a box Of sweet oranges from a Chinese trading
vessel, planted the seeds. and from these grew
what is known as the Chinese orange. The
orange industry has, therefore. grown from
three sources. viz: the native fruit, the Sicily
orange and the Chinese orange.
