VINE MAKERS WAR
LOWERS THE PRICES
Independent Companies Accuse
"Trust" of UnderselIing in
South and East

While the grapes of the vintage of
1903 are being crushed in innumerable
wineries throughout the state, the big
wine making corporations are busiiy
crushing the price Of wine until II
seems as If the juice might run out
Of the market. Wines are now selling
at IS cents and upward for claret and
II and up for port, a cut of about 10
cents a gallon from last years price.
The cut is the most conspicuous fea-
ture now in the war between the wine
trust" and the independents"
Earlier in the season there was a
competition between the two factors
in the purchase of the grape crop,
but the farmers and growers got little
benefit out of the bidding, for the high
est price paid for grapes by the COM
bination Of the California wine asso-
citation, the Italian-Swiss colony and
its reputed allies in Sonoma county,
was sic to S14 a ton, while in some
localities the price was SIS ton and
upward. The independents paid from
sis to SI7 a ton in Sonoma county,
for the trust had beat them into the
field.
COMPANIES INVOLVED
Arrairned on the two sides are the
following companies:
The '.trust''-The Italian-Swiss col
ony. of which A. Sbarboro, president
of the Grape growers association, is
secretary; the California wine asso-
citation. of which Percy T. Morgan is
president; Shilling & Co. and Lachman
& jacob. The Independents believe
that the Hellman interests are behind
ti1is group of winemen. The four con-
Germs control from one-third to one
half Of the total California wine out
put.
The independent companies, which
work together on harmonious basis
the Italian vineyard company, OF Los
Angeles; the Swiss American wine
company; the French-Amerfcan wine
company, Anglo-American wine COM
pany, Ciocca and lombard, Lerdo &
Co., Scatsna Brothers, NJ. Scatena, the
Oliveto wine company, the Simi land
company, Mattel of Fresno. Croca &
fseccuti, Las Palomas winery of Fresno
and other smaller producers and wine
makers. This group controls about
q third OF the wine output Of the
state.
INDEPENDENT EXPLAINS WAR
In discussing the situation yesterday
one of the Independent faction ex-
plsinsd tho history OF the cuts as fol-
lows.
Last year the price of claret was
IS cents q gallon and of port 35 cents.
Then the trust began selling a cheaper
quality of wine at from 8 to 4
cents less. The independents had no
cheap grade. SO it had to reduce its
standard grades 2 cents. The in
dependents gained ground in New
Orleans and Ne$v York. The trust
went down to is cents on claret, and
then to Is cents and up on claret and
IL cents and up on sweet wines. The
independents have not tried to meet
this lowest cut fully. as it does not
handle the lower grades OF wine"
An assessment OF SO share has
recently been levied by the California
wine association. The association ex-

Verdict in Lenahan Case Rec0m=
mends Routine Method in
Emergency Service

I'VE find that John Lenahan came to
his death from shock and hemorrhage
caused by crushing of the chest wall,
and we further find that the cause Of
the injuries is unknown to this jury,
and We recommend that city emergency
hospital surgeons use routine in
examining such cases. and we further
recommend that the police department,
when removing patients to the jails
from hospitals procure a certificate
stating condition of patient"

a great extent exonerated DR.. j. c. Ege-
berg OF the central emergency hospital
terday the foregoing verdict in the
case of John Lenahan, the contractor,
whose injuries were alleged to have
been overlooked by DIR. Egeberg and
the policemen who arrested Lenahan
for intoXication. Coroner Leland said
yesterday that DR.. Egeberg's examina-
tion was sufficient to reveal injuries
such as those that killed Lenahan un-
less the patient was either stupidity
drunk or had collapsed. The testimony
of DR.. Egeberg, corroborated by Stew
ard Purdham and Policemen Colen and
Hostetter, showed that Lenahan was
not too drunk to feel pain and that he
had not collapsed, for he sat up,
laughed. gave his name and address,
though Incorrectly.
This is believed to add strength to
the theory that Lenahan was injured
after he left the central emergency hos
pital Sunday morning.

mony of his daughter, Mrs. Wood, did
not go to physician until Tuesday
