FRESH FRUITS TO BE
SENT TO THE JACKIES
AT MAGDALENA BAY
California Growers Union viii DETER
mine Quantity to Be Shipped
as Gift of Southern
California

The first message from John 3. FL
liott, secretary of the fleet reception
committee, who went to Magdalena
bay for the Associated Press on the
South Dakota three weeks ago, was
received by Mayor Harper yesterday
1 was a telegram by wireless from Mr.,
Elliott which proposed something that
passed in rapid fire from the mayor to
Frank Virgins, secretary of the
chamber of commerce and by him tC
the California Fruit Growers ex-
change, will provide greeting from
Southern California to the great fleet
at Magdalena bay.
Mr.. Elliott's telegram follows:
1T would be a great thing If the
chamber of commerce sent down here
a large consignment of fresh fruit COM
plimentary to officers and men of the
fleet. The Buffalo will be at San Diego
Monday and Tuesday and transport
anything free of that sort. 1t would be
immensely appreciated and the proper
thing to Go. l make this as a sugges-
ton. Just writing you regards fleet
reception today"
That it is the proper thing to do was
the instant decision of the mayor and
Mr.. Virgins, and the officials of the
Fruit Growers union were informed.
They took it up with equal alacrity and
a meeting of the directors of the union
will determine just what will be sent
AS the Buffalo is to sail today from
San Diego on it's return to Magdalena,
the dispatch of the fruits will be by
another boat.
Not less than a carload of the fresh
fruits for which the southern cline is
famous and for which the men of the
fleet are in anxious anticipation is con-
sidered

WARSHIPS ANCHOR
AT SAN PEDRO
(oontinucd from Page One,

beach, the four cruisers made pic
turesque appearance and invited visits
from thousands of persons during their
stay. The crews were uniformly cour-
teous In showing the visitors about the
ships and explaining the manner of
working the five and six-inch guns,
which are the most important part of
the fighting equipment. The visiting
hours aboard the warships have not been
officially announced by Admiral Sebree,
but the usual time is from o'clock to
o'clock each afternoon, including Sum
days.
The Albany will be one of the most
interesting of the group, as it carries
with it the prize gun crew, which had a
record of twenty-five hits in twenty
five shots, all in twenty-eight minutes.
This crew is of course, proud of its
work, and members of it are patient
in showing how the big guns were
handled.
Shore leave will be granted to about
half the men each day, so that the
presence of jackies on the streets will
become familiar and prepare the public
for the thousands that will have the
liberty of the city when the great fleet
arrives.

FORTlFiCATIoNS BILL CUT;
HOPED TO PLACATE JAPAN
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-The for
tifications bill. carrying $4,S2l,S71 in
stead of S3S, 433, ,945 asked for by the war
department, was reported today to the
house committee on appropriations by
Chairman Smith of the subcommittee.
The subcommittee felt, aside from
other conditions, to recommend an APP
rropriation of $4,000, 900 at this time
would be an action which might very
reasonably be construed by Japan as a
declaration that the United States was
preparing for war. The amount recon-
mended is larger than any which has
been annually appropriated since the
Sranish- American war. The cutting
down of the departments estimates by
$50 233, ,334 means, among other things
that the committee has recommended
nothing for continental United States
end has appropriated mainly for the
Hawaiian and Philippine islands.
The committee has turned down en-
tirely the departments proposal for the
fertilization of Manila harbor by the
construction and fortification of an arti-
fetal island, and nothing is carried for
Subig bay.
The only points in the continental
United States appropriated for are De-
ception pass in Puget sound; Charles
ton, S. C.; Pensacola, Fla; Mobile, Ala,
and various points where expenditures
are required for the installation OF
1ange finding apparatus.

PROMISE DIVISION
AT FOUR HARBORS
SECRETARY METCALF FAVORS
SUCH DISTRIBUTION
Decision Is Regarded as Final, aand
Long Beach, Redondo and
Santa Monica Bay
Are Happy

The kilograms that were sent from
the beach towns, the fleet committee,
chamber of commerce, NJ. and M. and
others, Saturday, in a fusillade to pro-
cure q division of the fleet when 1t
gets to its official destination-San
Pedro harbor-bore fruit yesterday in
replies to each of the signers of Sat
urday's kilograms.
Senators Flint and Perkins, who
with Secretary Metcalf received the
,volley of "hot wires" sent duplicate
telegram to each one as follows:
Secretary navy advises will ar
range to have fleet divided at San
Pedro and part stop at Long Beach,
Redondo, Ocean Park, Venice and
Santa Monica, provided can obtain
safe anchorage for vessels"
This is regarded as sure that the
fleet will be divided and there will
probably be no further querying of
the senators and department officials.
Washington dispatches last night
said:
Secretary Metcalf is considering an
application made today by Senator
Flint of California on behalf of the
residents of the towns along the coast
in the vicinity of Los Angeles to have
the fleet divide into four squadrons
when it reaches San Pedro. Should
this plan be adopted, one squadron
will visit Santa Monica. one at Venice
one at Redondo and the other at Long
Beach.
Secretary Metcalf has taken the re-
quest into consideration with Admiral
Pilsbury of the navigation bureau
and it doubtless will be approved II
the anchorage facilities are found adj
equate.'

WF4IRL WIND WORK
IS BRINGING MONEY
COMMITTEES ON STREETS BEING
GENEROUSLY TREATED
Several Hundred Dollars Gained Yes
terday as Starter for Cyclone
Work to Follow--Be
a Boomer

The whirlwind campaign for fleet
funds began yesterday according to
schedule. The subcommittee started
carly and with determination and re-
ports from them late in the afternoon
were very comforting to Chairman
Woolwine of the finance committee
III this campaign little will be left un-
done and the committees are not pre-
pared to be refused. Their argument
is based ON the patriotic hospitality
the city should show and the lndlrect
benefit that such visit to Los Angeles
will bring. IL is a plea to keep Los
Angeles at the head of the proceSsioil'
BE a boomer with a boom and boom
the boom with your money IS the
slogan. !,
Several hundred dollars was raised
We sterday AS the exact amounts We're
not reported the aggregate could not
be stated definitely, but the committees
found generous responses to their re-
quest. 1t is hoped that at todays $
meeting of the executive committee at
The Merchants and Manufacturers
rooms that an adequate idea Of the
progress of the campaign Will be maue
known.
Chairman Woolwine received con-
trihution from c. j. Rittenhouse, a
geles, but now living in Tucson. Ariz.
MIR. Rittenhouse inclosed 81 and wished
the occasion success although he can
not be here.
THAT is the right spirit" said Mr..
Woolwine 1T is possible for hundreds
of others to follow that example,
Mayor Harper got q letter from
George M. Cooley of San Bernardino
yesterday which made him smile, 1t
didn't look like a letter with money,
but it contained a check from Mr..
Cooley for $25 to keep the good work
going" The mayor turned the check
over to Treasurer Woolwine. The
mayors secretary. Harry Kennedy. Is
prepared to receive any contributions
that may be made to the fleet.
The city council yesterday afternoon
voted an additional $500 to the fleet en-
tertainment committee, having found
an unexpended balance available for
the purpose.
Councilman Healy wanted the coun-
ell to save $500 for the old soldiers, but
the majority vote placed the cash in
the Evans fund, and it will be turned
over to the chairmen of the reception
committees.

committee on the entertainment OF Of

ent. Not for a minute had he been
required to relinquish full command
OF the movements of the vessels on
their way to the Pacific. In this con-
nection Rear Admiral Thomas today
authorized the following statement 10
be made In his behalf:
There was absolutely no truth in
the story that Admiral Evans had
transferred command to me. Never
has it even been contemplated. There
has not been a day that Admiral
Evans has not had full grasp of the
duties of the supreme command. 1t
has been my great pleasure to repre-
sent him socially from time to time,
but it is unjust to him and to me to
print that he transferred command to
me- Please deny it absolutely"
Speaking of his illness, Admiral
Evans said
II was sorry not to be able to go
ashore at the South American ports
and enjoy the hospitalities of those
countries. l was anxious to do it. but
this unfortunate illness prevented. Ad-
miral Thomas, however, attended to
the social duties with much credit to
himself and to the country. No one
could have done it better But | am
improving now and shall be able to
leave the ship soon | have been pre-
vented from going ashore and having
a good time with the boys. but when
we get to California l am going to
do it.
1--WE want to do twice as much for
California as we have done for any
body else. We shall all be glad to get
back to the United States
Evans Goes to Range
Admiral Evans said he probably
would go to the range with the Con-
necticut when she engages in record
target practice.
Admiral Thomas in speaking of the
cruise said;
II think [ voice the opinion of the
whole fleet when l say that this has
| been one of the most. if not the most,
| remarkable and successful naval
| cruises i'll the history of the world. 1t
| eclipses by far anything ever before
undertaken by the American navy, and
| the beneficial results are greater than
ever before We're accomplished. The
ships are i'm better condition than when
we left Hampton roads. We were
ready for battle the minute we
reached Magdalena bay. 1t is most
magnificent performance.
"On the last leg of the trip we ac-
tually were making more miles per ton
of coal than when we started. rms
was due to increased efficiency in the
engineering force and the firing of the
competition among the crews, and this
has done much for the increase in eff
cheney. I am looking forward also to
some wonderful results at target prac-
tice.
"Our visits to the ports of South
America will result in much good.
They cemented the various countries
i'm closer bonds of friendship with the
United States and will rebound to mu-
tual advantage commercially as well
as politically.
I'VE were treated with the greatest
consideration, courtesy and, may say
enthusiasm wherever we went"
The battleships Kansas, Kentucky
and Vermont were on the target
ranges soon after the fleet had come to
anchor setting out targets and perfect
ing arrangements for immediate fire.
Target practice may be concluded in
three weeks, and the fleet should leave
here some time between April AND 10,
probably nearer the latter date. There
will be TO battle practice, contrary to
expectations, as these drills always are
reserved until the fall.

Salt as q Fertilizer

Salt has long been recognized as va.
liable fertllizng agent, especially for use
on light, sandy or worn-out land 1t is
claimed that an oat crop on such soil is
more than doubled by the use of salt.
Farmers of Northern Vermont have
been accustomed for many years to OBJ
tain their Fertilizing alt of G. 5. Page
of Hyde Park, Vt. The Salt he sells is
that which has been used on Hides,
Skins, etc., in his hidehouse and contains
more or less waste matter that really
adds to it's fertilizing value. Last year
the demand far exceeded the supply and
Mr.. Pages stock was exhausted early in
the season, so that he was obliged to dis
appoint many farmers who sent in their
orders late 1t is advisable, therefore,
that farmers who intend using Pages Salt
this season should place their orders early.
The price this year is only $500 per
ton, f. o. b. Hyde Park. The railroad
company makes an especially low rate on
twelve ton carloads. If you will write
Mr.. Page, he will tell you the exact rate
to YOUR station.
