INDIGNATION CAUSED BY
CANARD ABOUT LEONARD
Santa Anans Aroused by Story Re-
garding His Withdrawal from
Directorship Race

SANTA ANA, Sept. 24-Great sur
prise and resentment were shown in
this city and in fact throughout the
whole county today when the large
number of friends and acquaintance
of N. H. Leonard read a story printed
this morning concerning him and his
probable reason for Withdrawing from
the race for a dictatorship in the irri-
cation company.
Mr. Leonard has lived in this vi
cinity for many years and is well and
favorably known The story concern
ing him is branded by all his friends
and acquaintances as absolutely false
and as having been prompted by malice
and personal antagonism. Mr.. Leon
ard himself characterizes the statement
as a lie made out of whole cloth, and
in a letter made public today not only
denies the story as a whole, but de-
fies any person, young or old, to make
the charge to his face.
The lying declaration that Mr. Leon
ard had insulted the memory of the
late President Mckinley was made by
parties opposing him in certain busi-
ness and social relations and proves
to have been unfounded in fact. The
greatest regret is expressed that such
a statement should have been made,
and Mr.. Leonard has been the recip-
lent of letters to that effect not only
from surrounding towns, but from men
who know him and his reputation all
over Southern California

RATES TO BAY
CITY REDUCED
STEAMSHIP COMPANIES EN-
GAGE IN PRICE WAR
Freight and Passenger Schedules Be-
tween San Pedro and San Franz
cisco Are Cut Nearly
In Halves

A merry war between steamship COM
panies handling coastWise traffic was
precipitated yesterday when the Pa
cific Coast Steamship company an
nounced a reduction of passenger and
freight rates between San Pedro, Santa
Barbara and San Francisco of nearly
one-half. Almost as soon as the rates
were made public the rival lines, the
North Pacific Steamship company, re-
taliated by bringing its rates down TO
the same figures. Now the two COM
panies are sitting on the fence max
ing faces at each other while travellers
and shippers are profting and hoping
the battle will wage long and Hereby.
The whole trouble arose when 1t was
announced the North Pacific company
would put a new vessel into commls-
sion. the St. Croix. This steamer
cleared from San Francisco Sunday
and carried a numerous passenger list.
The Pacific Coast company appears
to have been alarmed by the advent OF
the new boat and from report Its
rival was soon to cut rates to fill their
passenger lists.
Anticipating such action, or else in
formed such action had already been
taken, the Pacific Coast officials i'm
mediately announced a new passenger
traffic schedule, reducing first class
fares from $1135 to $6.35; intermediate
fares to $5.35 from $9,95, and steerage
from $7.35 to $4.95.
District Freight and Passenger
Agent D. w. Ferguson of the North
Pacific Steamship company said yes
terday: 1.-THE only possible reason for
this rate war, started by the PACING
Coast Steamship company officials, is
the fact we put on our new boat, the
St. Croix, last Sunday. We did not do
this with an idea of reducing rates or
forcing trouble, but simply because Of
representations made us by the cham
ber of commerce of Santa Barbara
they needed a new vessel in addition
to those we had already operating be-
tween coast points. We acceded to
the demand as soon as we could get
the boat. The war is a surprise to us
and how the other company can blame
us for the cutting of rates fail to see.
However, since the war Is on, you
may say for me that we will stay with
them until the bitter end, even If we
have to come to hiring passengers to
sail with u.s."

Der Is, 1909:
In so much as it has pleased the
All Wise Father to remove from our
midst Mrs. Susie H. Holcomb, We, as
members of the Woman's Home Mis-
sionary society, feel that in her death
we have lost one of our most faithful
and efficient members, beautiful
Christian character, who has endeared
herself to us all by her high Qualifi-
cations of head and heart, as we'll as
her untiring devotion to the work and
success of this organization.
We therefore not only feel deeply
the loss we have sustained ourselves,
but deeply sympathize with the be-
reaved family in this hour of great
sorrow, praying that God may sustain
and comfort them as he alone can,
and we believe he abundantly will.
We respectfully ask that the sec

ing family.

MANY ARE PROPOSED
Suggested for Chamber Of
Commerce Directors.
ANNUAL ELECTION JAN. II
Impression Prevails Generally That
William F. GUIDE Will Be Reflect
ed President Of Organization.

The annual election of officers for the
Chamber Of Commerce will be held on the
evening of January II, and although the
nominations will not close until December
IS, there is already a long list of names
for the board Of directors posted on the
bulletin board in the F street rooms.
Nominations for president and two vice
presidents are not made In advance, but
and the treasurer are elected by the
board of directors.
Retiring Directors.
Ten new directors must be elected. and
it is probable that there will be twelve.
since there is uncertainty as to the tenure
of office of two men who were elected to
fill unexpired terms. The ten vacancies
occur in the LIST of directors whose terms
expire this year, and who cannot be re-
elected at the election which comes at
the end of their term of Office.
These ten directors are T. c. Noyes, T.
C. Dulin, F. p. May, A. p. Clark. jr., B.
F. Saul, E. II. Drop, W. r. Galliher, R.
p. Andrews. w. S. Knox and B. 8. Graves
On the list of directors who are at the
end of the first year Of their two-yeaI
term are III. c. c. Stiles and Joseph l.
board of governors TO serve unexpireC
terms. Whether these men are to serve
out another year or whether their terms
expire January II is a question involving
an Interpretation of the constitution OF
the chamber. This matter will be passed
upon by the board Of governors January 4
Nominated for Directors.
The men who SO far have been nomi.
mated for the board Of directors. and from
whom ten three-year directors will be
chosen, are Julius Garfnkle. Ira E. Ben
nett, H. B. F. Mcfarland, J. Whit. Her
ron, Theodore w. Noyes, Thomas w
Smith. George Truesdell, Clarence Moore
8. S. Shedd. Byron 8. Adams, Washing
ton Topham. Corcoran Thorn, George Y.
Worthington, John H. Magruder. Freder-
ick c.. Handy. Henry L. West. Isaac
Cans. e. H. Daniel. Joseph Strasburger,
Ralph w. Lee. Albert Schulteis, H. c. c.
stiles, Charles w. Darr, w. F. GUIDE
James F. Oyster, Charles ]. Bell, E. c.
Graham and John L. Weaver.
Apparently there will be little excite
ment over the election OF president. No
activity has appeared so far, although
the impression prevails generally that
William F. GUIDE. the incumbent. is most
likely to be chosen to succeed himself
ed by success and there is a disposition
to give him a second term. The name
Of Arthur C. Moses is almost sure to be
presented to the chamber, but 1t is doubt
full II Mr.. Moses will allow 1t to stand.
