GRAPE GROWERS WILL
DELAY THEIR PICKING
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

STOCKTON, Sept. 16.-The standard
ization of pack committee and a num-
Der of the Lodi grape growers and
shippers met this morning In the Mo-
kelumne club rooms and the grape
situation was discussed. It was de-
cided to send out notices to the grow
ers of Lodi and Acampo to pick no
grapes before next Monday. The ship
ping companies will be notified to ac-
cept no grapes for shipment before next
Tuesday.
canvass of the situation showed
that the table grapes had been consid-
erably damaged by recent rains, espe-
cially those which hang low on the
vines and which have been splashed
with dirt and water. These are be-
ginning to crack open and the skins
are Slipping.
Notwithstanding the extensive dam
age the temporary cessation of ship
ping activities will give the eastern
markets chance to clear and will
tend to keep prices up.
In the meantime the inspectors will
go into the fields to see that the man
dates of the Standardization committee
are obeyed. There appears to be an
inclination on the part of some to re-
sumo grape picking Immediately fol-
lowing the rain, but the committee has
declared that grapes shipped in a.
damp condition would mildew and
lower the standard and prices of Lodi
grapes. Chief Inspector w. H Thomp-
son presided at today's meeting.

BOY HUNTER FAILS TO
RETURN TO HIS HOME
Friends and Authorities Search
for Robert Allen
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

FANFORD, Sept. 16.-Great anxiety
is felt over the disappearance last Sun
day of Robert Allen, aged Is, from the
home of his guardian, Mrs. c. G. Hisey.
who resides eight miles southeast of
Hanford. The boy left the house Sun
day afternoon in Mrs. Hisey's absence,
taking his shotgun with him, for a
hunting expedition on nearby farms.
Nothing has been heard or seen of him
since he called for boy friend that
afternoon on his way for the hunt. The
friend did not accompany him.
Believing that he had met with a, fa-
tai accident, a thorough search of the
farms and neighborhood has been made,
without success. 1t was thought per-
haps he might have fallen in a deep
pond on the Hisey ranch, but thor
ough dragging failed to reveal his
body.
The boy formerly lived In the east
and also in Los Angeles and the the
ory was advanced that perhaps he re-
turned to one of his former abodes. He
had but $50 on his person and it is
not thought he went 20 Los Angeles, for
he changed his best clothes for his
working clothes before he left the
house.
The sheriff's Office is aiding in the
search and has sent out kilograms to
Los Angeles and neighboring cities.

Especial Dispatch TO The Call

STOCKTON, Sept 16.-The supervis-
ors and members of the board of edu-
cation had a spirited controversy over
the school tax last night The super
visors wanted to know the necessity
for "a cent tax. The highest school
tax heretofore has been 35 cents The
sum asked for by the school trustees
is s141 SOC.
NJ ]. Henry of the school board ex-
planned that the school buildings were
so badly run down that repairs were
imperative and $4,000 was needed for
that work alone. The regular school
expenses, he said, had been increased
by an addition of three teachers and
the pay of many of the teachers in
creased.
Chairman Arthur H. Wright OF the
supervisors quoted statistics showing
that for % cities in the state the aver
age school tax was % cents, Fresno
paying the highest school tax, 4S cents;
Pasadena, Al cents; Alameda, 36.6
cents

90 years had neglected the school
buildings.
Principal Ansel williams said that
there were $50 students In the high
school, the largest number in its his
tory, and it was short three teachers.
Trustee Charles Campbell said that
the primary schools needed another
teacher.

Noble was asked to explain the school
tax law. He said that the supervisors
had to provide for the high school, but
not for the city's schools. The trustees
said the city had made it's tax roll and
that it was too late to apply there for
funds. Heretofore the city has levied
the school tax.
