GROWERS WILL INSIST
ON UNIFORM REPORTS
RedIandS Men Form Protective
Association to Secure More
System by Packers
Especial to The Herald)

REDLANDS, Sept. "A mass meet
ing of the orange growers of the Red
lands district was held here Friday
night and corporation, to be known
as the Redlands Fruit Growers Pro-
tectiVe association, was formed. The
organization is for the purpose of in
ducing packers to adopt a uniform sys-
tenn of reports and bookkeeping. The
association is to be Incorporated under
the state laws with fifteen directors.
These are A. e. Springberg, J. w. Gore,
Halsey Allen, G. r. Paine, Thomas
Fryer, A. j. Lane, w. P. Burke, G..
w. Crepe, C. A. Tripp, Andrew Kin
cade, A. H. Nelson, ]. L. Avery, Ben

tenberg.
The growers claim they know moth
ing of their crop after it leaves their
hands and goes to the packers. They
feel that a clearing house with one
auditor to investigate the books of the
packers will insure them square deal.
Three hundred growers attended the
meeting and over fourth OF them
signed an agreement to pay dues of SC
cents on every acre of orange trees
owned by them.

POWER Distribution
NOW PUZZLES BOARD
Mayor and Aqueduct Officials
Discuss New Features of
Owens River Problem

Distribution Of power from the Owens
river aqueduct after 1t is developed
was the weighty matter that occupied
the attention of joint session of the
advisory board Of the aqueduct and
the city council yesterday. No action
was taken, but the conferees realized
they have a problem to solve and more
sessions will be necessary before So
luton is reached.
The conference was called by Mayor
Alexander, and he said last night that
he will arrange for another in about
week.
No action was taken tonight" said
the mayor, ''for 1t is large question,
and cannot be solved In minute"
Three and a half million dollars OF
bonds have been voted and will be is-
sued some time in October for the de-
velopment of power along the line OF
the aqueduct. The power bureau Is
authoriged to spend as much of this
money for development as 1t needs, but
there is question as to how the power
is to be handled when 1t is developed.
After it is generated 1t must be dis
tributed, and distribution means the
laying of conduits and stretching cables
and wires. This will be a large ex-
nense, and the alternative discussed at
the session yesterday was that of TAX
ing over the distribution system Of one
or more of the local companies already
in the field.

FISH WARDEN MORGAN
DIES FROM PARALYSIS
Official SuCcumbs to Illness
Brought on by Exposure
While Fighting Fires

William B. Morgan, 50 years old,
county fish and game warden, died at
the home of his son-in-law, j. II.
Baetz, 62e South Sichel street, yester-
day afternoon, after having been con-
fined to his bed for four months by
stroke of paralysis.
Morgan was born in Nashville, Tenn.
He came to California more than ten
years ago and obtained employment as
a conductor for the Southern Pacinc
company. Later he entered other busi-
ness, finally drifted into politics, ana
was elected game warden eight years
ago.
The paralytic stroke which caused
his death is thought to have resulted
from exposure due to long hours OF fire
fighting at Sunland two years ago.
Up to that time he had enjoyed good
health. He never recovered from the
effects of his efforts to subdue the for
est fire, and later suffered stroke OF
paralysis. A recurrence four months
ago left him almost helpless, and since
that time he had been confined to his
bed. He was a member of the Masonic
fraternity, belonging to the East Gate
lodge. He is survived by a widow, a
son-Glen, who is a government sur
yeyor at Yuma-and two daughters
Miss Hattie Morgan and Mrs. ]. H.
Baetz.
Funeral arrangements have not been
completed. It is thought the burial
will be Sunday afternoon, and the SER
vices will be in charge of the Masonic
lodge.

nuer hear of a Chinese hurglar?

Ever hear of Chinese burglar?
Ching Goe, charged with entering the
room of w. Tamura, japanese, at
227 North San Pedro street, and robbing
the mikado's subject, is the uncon-
ventional Chinese who has broken one
kind Of monotony at the police station.
It has been years since the police
have placed a burglary charge against
a Chinese. The common offense of the
Celestials is that of dealing In lottery
tickets. Occasionally, when a tong
war starts, they go to killing each
other. Burglary, however, is so un-
common among the offenses charged
against the race that the weight of
precedence, If there is such a thing,
will be in Ching Goes favor.
For several weeks detectives have
received complaints from the Japanese
quarter of the city of an epidemic Of
thefts. officer White, who is assigned
to duty among the Japanese and Chi
nese, was detailed on the case and
Yesterday took Goe into custody. Sew

COUNT THROWN BY HORSE,
MAY Be FATALLY INJURED
August ShaffeIysky de MukadeI
de CaSteIIane Seymoure Not
Expected to Live

Falling from a horse which he was
riding in Figueroa street, near Wash
ington street, yesterday morning, Count
August Shaffelysky de Mukadel de
Castellane Seymoure sustained injuries
which probably will result fatally. He
is in the Clara Barton hospital suffer-
ing from a basal fracture of the skull
and possible internal injuries.
Count Seymoure had been employed
by +. B. Sherwood, the clothier, to
demonstrate correct wearing apparel in
the show windows of his stores In this
city by appearing in the latest fashions
in evening attire.
Seymoure's horse SHE'D at piece of
paper fluttering in the street, and, rear
ing, threw the rider to the ground.
Patrolman Pautz who was riding on
an inbound washington street car, saw
the man lying in the street and rushed
over to him. A passing automobile
was halted and the man placed in 1t
and taken to the receiving hospital.
He was unconscious when picked up,
but regained consciousness soon after
reaching the hospital. After sttmulants
were administered he was removed to
the Clara Barton hospital at the re-
quest of his employer.
All efforts to locate the mans rela-
tiVes or friends or to learn anything
concerning his title proved fruitless. A
telegraphic communication was sent to
a clothing store in San Francisco
where he had been employed before
coming to Los Angeles a week ago, but
q reply was received that they knew
nothing of him.
Count Seymoure had been living at
the Poinsettia rooming house at 512
South Spring street. According to
those who came in contact with him he
appeared to be in destitute circum-
stances. He Is about So years old.

NEW EXPRESS co.'s
N. Y. TRAIN COMES
Los Angeles Business Men In
SpeCt Car of Through
Freight from Gotham
SCHEDULE TO ATLANTIC CUT
Motor Truck Service Now Main
tanned Between City and
Beach Resorts
SCHEDULE TO ATLANTIC CUT

A few minutes late, but reducing the
present schedule between Los Angeles
and New York city for express freight,
the first American Express train ar
rived in Los Angeles yesterday after
noon over the Salt Lake route, shortly
after o'clock, bringing an entire car
of through express freight direct from
New York city.
A good-sized crowd of express COM
pany and Salt Lake officials, as we'll as
a number of business men interested in
new service, were on hand to inspect
the shipment.
The train, which is officially known as
the American Express, left Salt Lake
City Thursday, a few hours after the
American company took over the Wells,
Fargo & Co. business on the Salt Lake
route and was due here at 2:30. Sew
eral delays occurred which made the
train fifty minutes late. AS soon as the
train came to a stop the express COM
pany's employees rushed the car, loaded
waiting wagons and they were on their
way in a short time after its arrival.
The competition with the Wells-F Far
go company will be In service and not
a rate war as rumored some time ago.
The American company begins business
with nearly as large force or men as
the older company, and Is striving to
make its delivery and collection terri
tory as large as that of Wells-Fargo.
Though the principal territory tapped
by the American company Is on the
lines of the Salt Lake route, motor
trucks are going after business where
the railroads lines do not reach. For
instance, the first truck to be operated
between Los Angeles and ocean Park,
Santa Monica and Venice arrived yes
terday, loaded with twenty-five trunks,
after being in transit between the two
points a trifle under an hour and
half, which is only few minutes more
than the time required by the Los An
geles-Pacific company's express car.
By employing these trucks the new
company hopes to draw much of Its
business from the districts not reached
by the Salt Lake line.
In San Bernardino the American COM
many operates over the San Bernardino
valley Traction lines, with connections
in Redlands, Highland and Cotton. 1t
probably will open offices in each of
these places. Offices already have been
opened in Pasadena and Long Beach.
