GROWERS DEFEND
CARTWRIGHT LAW
MASS MEETING HELD IN NORTH
REGARDING STATUTE
Packers Ignore Contract and Rasin
Pool Is Forced to Dissolve.
Fresno Apathetic Con-
corning Legislation

KINGSBURG, CAL, Jan. 11.-At a
mass meeting here today, at which
perhaps 1000 fruit and raisin growers
of Fresno county were assembled,
brought together by the fact that the
annual meeting of the Scandinavian
ISOLATION of Fresno county is being
held here. the following resolution in
regard to the Cartwright law was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, there is at this time a
pronounced opposition being Waged
against the Cartwright law in this
state, as we believe by the representa-
tives of the great corporations with a
view of destroying that law; and,
Whereas, we believe that the law
should be maintained and if there are
any changes to be made in it that the
work should be done by the friends of
the law and not its enemies, be it
Resolved, by the Fruit and Raisin
Growers of Fresno county in mass
meeting assembled in Kingsburg, this
18th day of January, 1909, that we de-
and that it shall not be amended ex-
cept as Senator G. w. Cartwright may
approve such proposed amendment
The selling committee of the local
Fresno raiSin pool will meet tomorrow
to wind up the affairs of the organi-
cation and to dissolve it unless some
unforeseen contingency arises.
Chairman Fairweather stated at
Fresno today he considers it useless to
attempt to keep the growers together,
as the packers have announced their
determination to sidestep the growers
contract, which they declare is illegal
under the Cartwright law. Today the
Consolidated Packers had a hastily
called session in San Francisco, and
growers awaited with interest the re-
suit of the conference.
Little interest is being taken at Fres-
no in the attempted repeal Of the Cart
wright antitrust law.
Fresno'S growers are attempting to
sell their crops east by going personally
to eastern markets. One commission
house IS attempting to secure a block
of 5000 tons Of raisins on consignment,
guaranteeing growers ~ cents a
pound advance with no refund Pack
ers still refuse to make a cash offer
for raisins and are quoting bear prices
in the east.

TAYLOR MAKES
QUEER DEFENSE
SAYS CRIMES WERE WORK OF
HIS DOUBLE
Rewards Aggregating $1,000 Will Go to
Deputy Sheriff to Whom Prisoner,
Wanted in Minden, Neb., Vol
UNFAIRLY Surrendered

lSR~NAolh
SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 11.-Bert
M. Taylor, who has been hunted by
officers all over the country for sew
eral months on charges OF murder,
arson and rape, on which charges he
is wanted at Minden, Neb., the crimes
having been committed April q of last
year, this morning surrendered himself
to a deputy sheriff near here and is
now in Jail awaiting the action of the
Nebraska officials.
Taylor's story is one Of the strang-
est ever heard here. His defense is
that he has a double, one James Mar
tin, who is the man guilty of all the
crimes. Tayor declares he has been
hunting Martin ever since the night
of the awful incidents now laid at his
door.
He asserts that seven years ago he
met this man Martin in DeS MoineS,
Iowa, where he was living, and their
acquaintance ripened into friendship,
many amusing circumstances growing
out Of it because their friends could
not tell them apart.
One night Taylor met a young wo-
man in the tenderloin district who
knew Martin. He at once recognized
the woman as an old acquaintance,
but she supposed he was Martin. Later
Martin appeared on the scene and was
greatly angered at Taylor, and before
they parted Martin made the threat
that he would take a quart Of Tayler's
blood for every minute he had passed
with the woman.
In 1904 Taylor moved to Minden,
Neb., and married Levina Taylor, who
died two years ago. About a year ago
he met Martin, his double, near his
home. The afternoon of April 26 he
again met Martin, and as he appeared
to be friendly invited him to his home.
Taylor declares that in the night
Martin chloroformed him and when he
came to his senses in the morning he
found himself bound and gagged with
Martin bending over him. Martin told
him that he had assaulted Pearl Taylor
and her sister, daughters of a sister of
Taylor's former wife, aged IA and II
years, and that as soon as the news
got out the officers would be on his
trail. Martin also said he was now
revenged for the Des Moines affair.
After some time Taylor says he man
aged to get loose and started out with
a gun after Martin. He asserts he has
been hunting him ever since. He has
also learned that the Oldest of the
nieces died eight days after the as
Sault
Taylor says that few days ago he
heard a Santa Fe brakeman talking
about the crime of which he was gull
ty, and after thinking over the con-
versation resolved to give himself up,
go back and attempt to aid the officers
in locating the guilty man. The mans
story is not believed here by the Off
GERS, who put it down as a canard to
save his own neck.
1t seems that after the assault had
been made on the two young women
the perpetrator saturated the bed with
kerosene and left them unconscious.
He then set fire to the house and es-
capped. The fire was discovered by
neighbors and the young women res
cued after they had been frightfuIly
burned.

SAN PEDRO
OLD BARK TO MAKE
TRIP TO HONOLULU
Alden Besse, Which Has Been Lying
at Anchor Off San Pedro for
Years, Is Put Into
Commission
Correspondent Home 372.
Circulation 125 5th st.

SAN PEDRO, Jan. 1.-THE old bark
Alden BeSSe is at last about to sail
for Honolulu with a cargo of brick
and general merchandise which has
been loaded during the past few weeks.
This afternoon the vessel was towe1
from her berth at the Salt Lake
wharf to the outer harbor and Cap
tain Dennick states he will get under
sail tonight or early in the morning.
For months it has been reported the
old vessel was about to SAIL but ,peo-
pie here have become skeptical on the
subject, as they remember several
years ago the bark was at anchor for
a long time in the outer harbor. She
was then reported sold to the Mexican
Trading company and was brought in
to the ballast wharf for repairs and
cargo for Mexico.
The deal fell through, however, and
in the course Of time she fell into the
hands of the United States court,
through series of libel suits which
were filed by the captain, the watch
man and other creditors of the Ship
In November last she was sold to
another mercantile company and
cleaned and repaired for the intended
trip to Honolulu.
The Salt Lake railroad has given the
new enterprise every encouragement
and at last the vessel is about to sail.
A return cargo from Honolulu of hard
wood ties for the railroad has been ar
ranged.
Although the old bark has been a IA
miliar sight along the water front for
SO long, San Pedro citizens are glad
to see the vessel sail, and if the Alden
Besse is to be the opening wedge to
establish a regular line between Homo
lulu and this port the bon voyage"
will be given even more enthusiastic
ally by those privileged to see the big
square sails fill with wind.

establish a reading, rest and recreation
room in the neighborhood Of the church
building. Socials and suppePs are TO
be given there, and it is believed the
plan will be of benefit to the entire
town.
The highest price ever received for
oranges in the history of the Sierra
Madre-Lamanda Park packing house
was that for the holiday pool. The as
ISOLATION packed and shipped fifteen
cars, and the average for all grades and
sizes is $1.75 box.

OF COUNT FOR $50
Takes Trunks for Security, and on

Been Found
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 11.-Count
Van Horst or John Koenigwarter, who
eloped with pretty Helen Kukulski, is
said to have victimized J. c. Preston,
a local real estate dealer, out of $50,
which Van Horst is said to have Sc
cured from Preston as a loan, putting
up his tvs trunks at the Santa Fe sta
ton as security.
The count made such a plea about
being without funds and said the
trunks were filled with expensive
clothing valued at many times the $50
needed, that Preston yielded and is
said to have given him the cash. The
count has not been been by him since.
Preston will get part value received
by a sale of the trunks, but they are
lued at but fraction of what he
loaned.
The couple, it has been learned, was
in this city as late as 4 o'clock Sat-
urday, but has not been seen since.
Preston, getting anxious about his
loan, had the trunks opened today and
found them practically empty and
northing of much value in them.

REDLANDS TO HIRE
AMERICAN PlCkERS

REDLANDS, Jan. 11.-There is con-
siderable agitation among orange
growers and business men of RedIands
over the Japanese labor question.
AT the present time there are a great
many men in Redlands seeking employ
ment, and there is a plan on foot
among growers to hire American labor
in preference to foreign.
One employer, who was not aware of
the conditions among the men in the
city, had hired japanese labor but on
becoming acquainted with the fact
Cancelled his order and hired Ameri-
cans.
For several years it has been a hard
problem for orange growers to get suf-
ficient American laborers and have re-
sorted to the Japanese but this winter
conditions are changed, and it is be-
lieved enough Americans can be Sc
cured to harvest the fruit
