UTAH FRUIT POSSIBILITIES
Howard G.. Fletcher Says Fruit
Growers Organizations Are
Needed in This State.

Howard G.. Fletcher. who for eight years
has been associated with the Grand juno
ton Fruit Growers association. left last
night for Grand Junction. after having
visited the principal fruit growing dis
tricts around Provo. Salt Lake. Ogden
and Brigham City. 1t was Mr. Fletcher's
first visit TO the state, and he expressed
himself as being very much surprised at
the possibilities of Utah along horticul-
tural lines He said
I'm my opinion the state of Utah has
the greatest possibilities of any section
of the United States for fruit raising. as
far as soil, climate and water are con-
cerned. | am also surprised to find so
many commercial orchards being planted
in the state and TO find these commercial
orchards generally well cared for. OF
course noted a good many of the old or
chards which were not profitable. and
consequently were not being given the at
tention they should have, but these will
be eliminated in time
1.-THE secret Of success in orchardlng
is the care trees are given, and the sys-
TEN by which the fruit is marketed. Ire
trees must be profitable If labor and en-
ergy are expended on them. but properly
handled there is more money in the fruit
crop than any other OF the farm crops:

DEMOCRATS Confident

Activity in the state campaign is just
commencing in Utah. The Republicans
have fixed the date of the state conven-

The Democrats will hold their convention
early in September. probably a week ear
Her than the Republicans. The Demo-

c. week. The Republican state commit

call for the convention, although the time

The excellent chances for Democratic

effect of causing considerable interest In
the personnel of the winning ticket. Jesse

There will probably be close fights in

Within a few days the call for the DEM

held in Salt Lake about the middle OF
August In the absence from the city

KENNETH KERR PRAISES UTAH PEOPLE
ON PIONEER DAY In LOS ANGELES

prior to the settlement of our own
Utah. we recall the march of the same
pioneers, who settled there; from the
Missouri river to southern California in
1876.
Some of these men were present at
the discovery of gold and many of the
same names are found among the set
tiers of the San Bernardino valley.
One of the prettiest pages of his
tory is the story of the west, and it
is pleasing to note that the sons and
daughters of the west are nobly carry
ing out the work of their mothers and
fathers.

there are, i believe. but eleven now
living and in the natural course of
events il will not be long before they
will all be gone But 1t is of the Utah

ness of the Democratic principles cham
pioned by Bryan have finally become evil

Miss st. Clair said that when the

Thomas McEvoy. her sister, who also
met death In a runaway.
These thoughts crowded through her
brain until her head struck the pave
ment and she was knocked unconscious.
She remained in that condition for some
time.

FORFSTERS NOT
MINING EXPERTS

One of the most important actions
of Secretary of the Interior James r.
Garfield affecting the mineral interests
of the west was his decision given in
the latter part of May regarding the
inspection of mineral lands by govern
ment agents.
A conference was called at the sug-
gestion of State Minera1ogist Lewis E.
Aubury. Chief Forester Clifford Pin
chot, Land Commissioner Fred bennett,
Director Smith of the United States
geological survey, B. H. Newell of the
reclamation service, and Mineralogist
Aubury were present at the confer
ence and the first matter considered
was the patenting of mineral claims
in forest reserves. Miners had made
the assertion that the forest assist
ants were not qualified to pass upon
the mineral character Of land, where
patents had been applied for, and that
patents had been refused by the as
sistants. One Of the points raised by
Aubury was that while forest officers
were probably capable of administer
ing the affairs of the service in forest
matters, and occasionally such officers
might possess a practical knowledge
of mining, there were many who were
not in q position to make q mining
examination.
The matter of reports of examina-
tions made by special agents of the
general land office on mineral lands
was also taken up. Aubury contended
that with one or two exceptions. these
agents were ignorant Of what oon-
stitutes mineral land, and recommend
ed that local men, familiar with min
eral land, be appointed to these posi-
tions.
The suggestion of Aubury that prac-
tical mining men be appointed to fill
l., fof nd nrr~f-
tories where controversies exist, was
adopted by the conference, and 1t was
decided that a special corps should be
selected to act under the direction of
the secretary of the interior.
Secretary Garfield and the heads Of
the different departments have evinced
a great interest In the matter and
have signifed their intention of CO.
operating toward a satisfactory solu-
tfon of the problem.

Bankrupt Company of Fraud
ulent Transfers

James N. Makins, Arvilla, his wife,
and James N. Jr., Joseph H. and Eliza
beth l., his sons and daughters, have
been accused by Henry J. Crocker
with unlawfully and fraudulently di-
verting the assets of Makirfs & Co. as
against the creditors of the corpora
ton. The complaint was fled yester-
day in the United States district court
and a temporary restraining order was
issued by Judge harrington enjoining
the Makins from disposing OF real es-
tate owned by them in Oakland and
enjoining the Central bank and Oak
land bank Of savings from allowing
the defendants to withdraw any of the
money held by the banks or in the de-
posit vaults of the banks.
The complaint charges that Makins
co. is corporation capitalized at
$4,000 and that the entire 1000 shares
are held by James N. Makins and his
family. On October 2, 1906, an invol-
untary petition in bankruptcy was
fled against Makins & Co. and on Oc-
tober 80, 1905, the corporation was ad
judged bankrupt
Crocker, who Is acting as trustee In
bankruptcy IN the interests or the
creditors, alleges that $22.365 of the

ferred to different members of the cor
poration. The Makins are accused of
having paid $500 to James N Makins
for $50 shares of stock held by him.
The complaint further charges that
$4,000 was paid to James n. Makins Jr.
for 400 shares of stock and that $4,000
was paid for a collection of stamps to
James N. Makins Jr., which Crocker
claims was the property of the corpor-
sums already mentioned, Crocker
charges the Makins company with hav-
ing divided s11,S65 among the different
members of the Makins family in June,
1906, for alleged claims for salaries,
sales of stock and for sales of mer-
chandise. The complaint alleges that
all these moneys were paid from the
capital of the company with intent to
defeat, defraud and delay the creditors
in their demands and that the money
was transferred at times when the
members of the company knew that
the corporation was insolvent- Trus-
tee Crocker further asserts that the
assets of Makins & Co. will not pay 80
per cent of the face amount Of the
claims as allowed by the referee in
bankruptcy.

served on the defendants yesterday

BIGGY ACCUSES A
DRIVER OF GRAFT
Patrolman Is Also Implicated in
Alleged HOldup of Barbary
Coast DenizenS

Joseph B. Kenny, a patrol wagon
driver, was directly accused of and
Henry MaIlen, a patrolman of the China
town squad, was implicated in charges
of extortion filed yesterday with the
police commission by Chief of Police
Biggy. Kenny was summoned before
his chief, stripped of his star and sus-
pended from the department.
The charges cover an alleged extor-
tion on June 80 of SO from Lille
Davis, keeper of a house of Ill fame
at 35 Washington alley. Kenny is ac-
cused of having demanded and received
the money in the presence of Mallen,
whose alleged guilt rests in his failure
to inform on his brother officer.
Chief Of Police Biggy has been quietly
working on the scandal for two days.
Yesterday he secured affidavits prac-
tically cinching his case and the charges
followed.
According to the afidavits, Kenny,
Mallen and Walter E. Hoyt, a friend
of Kenny's, visited the Washington al
ley house during a tour of the Bar
barry coast Kenny, after an alterca-
ton with Ida Rousseau, an inmate,
placed her under arrest and requested
Hoyt to go outside and ring for the
patrol wagon. In answer to protests
of innocence made ylby the woman Ken
ny is said by his accusers to have re-
marked: We'll, If you don't want
trouble, you know. you know" and
to have accompanied the remark by a
suggestive Jingle of coins in his pocket.
According to the affidavits which were
made by the two women and Hoyt,
Kenny accepted SO rendered him by
the Davis woman and departed. Hoyt
stated that Kenny later gave him
half of the amount, after first trying
to divide it with Mallen, who had
taken no part in the proceedings.
Mal1en was closely questioned as to
his part in the matter. He admitted
knowing of the extortion, but denied
having participated in it, declaring that
he had refused to accept a part of it
when Kenny requested him to. Biggy
said last night that charges of unof-
ficerlike conduct will be fled against
Mallen today.

INK Singer HAS
GONE BACK HOME

The women of San Francisco may
walk the streets of the city again
without the fear of having their gowns
ruined by the ink thrower. Joseph
Coffee, ladies'. tailor from Chicago,
who was arrested on suspicion of be-
ing the man responsible for the ruined
gowns, went to Chicago yesterday. The
police saw him to the depot and took
particular pains to see that he left
San Francisco.
He was released because he could
not be Identified and no evidence could
be obtained to prosecute him. When
arrested six ammonia droppers, one of
which was filed with ink, were found
on his person. He then gave his name
as j. Bjakis. Later he gave his name
as Coffee and his occupation as a Ia
dies tailor.
The police were confident they had
the right man, but In the face of the
lack of evidence Chief Biggy had no
other recourse than to order his re-
lease Goffee's liberty was given on
one condition.

cago" said Biggy
"I will" said Coffee eagerly. He
purchased a ticket Immediately and
was then marched to the train by two
detectives.

TROLLEY CAR AND
FIRE ENGINE CRASH
Driver FOubeIs and Engineer
Rodriguez Badly Hurt
in Collision

In a full force headon collision be-
tween streetcar and speeding fire
engine at Fourteenth and Valencia
streets last night George Foubels,
driver of the engine, was probably
fatally injured; NJ. ]. Rodriguez, en-
gineer, was seriously hurt. and one of
the engine horses was killed outright,
while both the streetcar and the fire
engine We're wrecked.
The collision came while engine No.
from the firehouse at Sixteenth
street and Albion avenue was respond
ing to an alarm at Third and Harrison
streets Instead of stopping when the
engine swung into the tracks ahead of
him, Motorman T. D. Murphy, witnesses
say, kept his car going at a high speed,
and before Driver Foubels had time to
swerve his team out of the way the
crash came. Foubels was dashed
against the pavement but owing to the
straps holding him to his seat his fall
was materially checked.
The fire to which the engine was
going destroyed a half dozen buildings
in Third and Harrison streets be-
fore it was extinguished. and did ap-
proximately $4,000 damage. 1t started
in a vacant building, formerly the
Shasta lodging house, at 400 Third
street, from an unknown cause, and
spread to all the adjoining buildings al
most before the first fire engines began
to arrive. The heaviest loser was the
S. H. Tyler & Son coffee importing
house, whose entire plant at 715 Har-
rison street was gutted by the flames
Tyler estimated his loss at $35,000
partly covered by insurance. Other
places burned were the Gold Dust sa-
loon. owned by w. Spanhake, 400
Third street; the Turkish cafe, owned
by K. H. Omonora, 402 Third street;
a vacant store at 410 Third street;
fruit store, 40S Third street and a
Greek restaurant at 412 Third street
The losses of the last named places
were comparatively small, none of them
carrying large stocks. Three alarms
were sent in and the entire fire de-
partment called out, SO serious did the
blaze at first appear, but owing to lack
Of any wind it was soon put under
control
