GROWERS PLAN TO
HAVE RAISIN DAY
SOUTHERN PACIFIC WILL AID
IN CELEBRATION
CaIifornians Decide On Novel Method
to Advertise Dried Grape In
dustry-WiII Raise Fund -
of $4,000

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-The
raisin growers and packers of Califor-
mia nave decided on April 80 as "Raisin
day" throughout the land.
1t is planned to ask the assistance of
all business interests of the state-rail-
roads, steamship lines, hotels, mer-
chants and business men generally. 1t
has been decided to raise a fund of
SIS 900 or more.
The Southern Pacific company has
agreed that ali of it's traffic forces shall
work to make Raisin day a success, 1t
will put up posters from New York to
Portland advertising the event.
On all the Southern Pacific diners and
in all eating stations raisins are to be
served gratis on Raisin day, with the
compliments of the California raisin
growers.
The cooperation of the other Harri-
man lines will be expected.
The San Francisco hotels have sig
nified their intention of aiding. A mil
lion ''raisin primers" with recipes will
be distributed throughout the United
States. Every business man in Cali
fornia will receive a request to help
observe "Raisin day" by making his
friends and patrons more familiar with
one of Californias choicest products.
Altogether it is expected to make the
people of the United States generally to
sit up and take notice of California
raisins.
Subsequently an advertising cam
paign is to be started to push raisins to
the front. The work is to be done by
the Fresno chamber of commerce and
the Southern Pacific company.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-Max
Thamm. "A former clerk in a Market
street department store, was arrested
today while lying in wait with loaded
revolver for Ora Miller, salesgirl in
the same establishment.
AS the girl approached he made a
threatening movement with his weapon.
causing her to scream for help, which
was promptly afforded by Detective
Mackey, who was in the neighborhood.
To the officers Thamm explained he
had lost his position in the store
through reports he believed had been
circulated by the girl, with whom he
declared he was infatuated.
After being taken to the city prison
Thamm attempted to commit suicide
by strangulation with cord which was
taken from him by other prisoners.

CALHOUN'S TRIAL DRAGS
ON WITH LITTLE SUCCESS
Eighteen More Veniremen Are Exam.
ined but Jury Is No Nearer
Completion

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-No
progress was made today toward filling
the six vacancies created yesterday in
the jury box in Judge Lawlor's court,
where Patrick Calhoun, president OF
the United Railroads, is on trial
charged with bribery in connection
with the overhead trolley franchise.
Eighteen veniremen were examined
during the day and excused for cause,
and the nineteenth was being ques-
toned when court adjourned.
The only contest by counsel was over
Charles e. Benedict, a dairyman, who
was challenged for cause by the prose-
cution. Judge Lawlor excused the
juror because he had expressed feel
ing of sympathy for Calhoun. though
not with reference to the present case.
OF the eighteen men examined, two
were excused because of defective
hearing, and the sixteen others be-
cause of fixed opinions. Two of the
sixteen declared they believed Calhoun
to be innocent of the bribery charge.

CASE OF ALLEGED FATAL
DISEASE PROVES SUICIDE
Undertakes Discover Cash in Throat
Which Leads to Startling
Discovery

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-Whea
firm of local undertakers received
the body of Cornelius Goodrich, who
died in this city yesterday, they were
told the man had died from bron-
chitis, but while preparing it for
burial they discovered the throat had
been cut.
The undertakers at once telephoned
to the coroner, who started an investi-
CATION, which revealed several start
ling and mysterious circumstances.
Neighbors Sof the dead man assert
he committed suicide by cutting his
throat. A physician, said to be DR..
Thomas w. Connolly, was summoned,
but the man died before his arrival.
The coroner and police claim no re-
port of the suicide was made to them
The blood-stained razor was found
some distance from the shack in which
Goodrich lived.
