miles of pavement, two score auto

the first annual 1,000-miIc road race
in Nevada The drivers will contend
for trophy cup and considerable

farmers into q cooperative market
ing association. More than 11,00C
growers joined the association in
California, and several thousand Ore.
gon and Washington growers or
ganized a similar association
The first thing the association
did was to decline to deal with
spectators.
1t sent its general manager, II. G
Coykendall, San Jose, to New York
to deal direct with the Legitimate
distributors. 1t standardized its
crops branded it and advertised il
throughout the country az the stan.
dardized product of. all the growers
of the State or States. II estab-
fishes price every season which
represents actual cost of produc-
ton, plus fair margin of profit
to each grower. Only the best
quality of prunes are shipped to the
Pacific Coast associations believe
the consumer is entitled to the
best that can be produced
But there is a surplus-of poorer
quality-and this surplus must be
disposed of somehow. Surplus is
that portion of the crop which does
not go through the normal chan
nels of trade-yet it must be sold
lest all the profits made out of the
sale of the balance would be lost
through the non-sale of the sur
plus.
Many more prunes are now grown
in this country than are sold III
the familiar 10 and 25-pound boxes
the consumer is accustomed to SEE
in the stores.
Seventy-five per cent of a small
prune is pit. SO the associations
send the small prunes to a certain
plant where they are shredded
by machinery and the pulp is
made into jams, jcllies, prune but
ter and filler for pies. The pits
themselves are made into pruSSlt
acid and the shells burned to char
coal
Only through scientific organi
cation and management have the
prune growers preserved their i'll
dustry, and this preservation has
been the salvation of the many
small cities scattered throughout
the prune-growing belt. The prunt
growers, in adopting cooperative
marketing followed the example SCI
by the raisin association of Cali
fornia, which sold 100000 tons o
arisins the year before prohibition
when people were eating ralSln
instead of drinking" them.

DETAILS OF DEATH
CONSPIRACY Barred

Cleveland. June 13.-Twelve per-
lsons have been named in connection
with the murder of Daniel f. Ia
Der, stabbed to death two years ago,
for which crime Mrs. Eva Catherine
Kaber, his wife; Miss Marian Nc
Ardle. his stepdaughter. and Mrs.
Mary Brickel, 69-year-old mother-in-
Ilaw, are under Indictment. it be-
came known last night following
grilling by County Prosecutor Ed
ward c. Stanton and Chief of Police
Frank w. Smith of Mrs. kaber,
Mrs. Brickel and several suspects.
Other developments, the authori-
tiles say, were that four hired as
sassins were in the party which in
flicted the "a stab wounds in ka-
ber's abdomen, and that $500, part
| of a stipulated sum alleged to have
been promised by Mrs. kaber fol-
the assassination of her husband
was paid.
The questioning, which began
yesterday afternoon and continued
until late last night, was expected
to clear up the last details of the
Intricate plot through which Kabel
was murdered and to result in fur
Ithcr indictments. Prosecutor Stan
ton and Chief Smith said they hat
obtained admissions from a midwife
arrested in Sandusky several days
ago that $500 bill had been pait
to her by another woman, for
tune teller, who is alleged to have
acted as "go between"
The $500, according to the alleg
ed confession, was paid to the mid
wife after she had called Mrs. Ka
her on the telephone and told he
THAT the men were getting impa
,tent and that she feared she nigh
be killed if they were not paid
Mrs. Ethel Burman, who before
Dan kaber's murder had been {
ltinued the acquaintanceship and fur
lnshed Investigators with invaluable
Icyidencc, was present at the confer
fence. Her disclosures already hat
given authorities the information
that an envelope containing $500
had been left with the fortune tell
er when Mrs. Kaber left for New
York after the murder.
When the fortune teller was con
jfronted with Mrs. Burman, she d
first denied any knowledge of TIL
money and said she never had seel
Mrs. Burman, but later admtte,
lshe had seen Mrs. Burman with Mrs
Kaber and admitted having handle,

HEAVY SHIPMENT
OF ARMS TRACED

New York. June 17.--Ownership
of the 495 machine guns and the
hundreds of spare parts scized
Wednesday by custom officials al
ter they were found hiden on the
steamship Eastside, and presumed To
have been destined for Ireland. still
is the subject of investigation by
government officials. The guns,
through the agency of federal war
rant of detention were restored yes
terday to customs officials from
whom they were taken on warrant
by the Hoboken police.
A hearing set for yesterday was
intended to bring out the story
of Frank Williams that they were
stolen from his warehouse, but was
declared off after the federal writ
had been served Customs officials
say they will take the arms from
Hoboken police headquarters to
customs storehouse today and there
hold them until the mystery Is
solved. Federal agents are working
on several angles to trace the guns
from the factory in which they were
manufactured. They are also ques-
tioning present and former members
of the ships crew. The inquiry
will extend to Norfolk, to which
port the ship cleared after leaving
New York Wednesday night.
Mr.. Williams through his attorney
also is conducting an investigation
to determine the identity Of the
persons who he says stole the guns
from his warehouse. He also is con-
crned regarding the whereabouts OF
1O5 other machine guns which ne
said were stolen at the same time

their sale to Frank Williams was
disclaimed. The type OF gun IS
known as the Thompson sub-machinc

have bought them through such

DERM0TT CHINAMEN
Will BE PROTECTED

Dermott, June l7.--Mayor J. A.
Bennett Yesterday received telc-
gram from John l.. McNab Of San
Francisco, chief attorney for the
Chinese Six Companies, representing
China in America, asking prOtec-
ton for the lives and property OF
the Cinnamon living here. Before
receiving this telegram, however,
Mayor Bennett had issued notice
to those who had threatened the
Cinnamon that no violence would
be tolerated, that the Cinnamon arc
at liberty to remain here, and that
they will be protected.
Investigation of the details lead
ing up to the riotous scenes OF Mon
day night seems practically to exon
crate the Cinnamon. No charges
have been brought against them, but
the white boy, said to be the az
gressor in the affair, has been ar
rested and will be brought to trial
as soon as the Cinnamon return to
act as witnesses. They are now at
Lake Village, but have been given
their liberty and are staying with
Chinese there. Residents of DermOtt,
as a whole, seem to deplore the dis
order of Monday night. The Off
cials have the situation well in hand
and no further disturbances is an

Prune Growers Organize.

The present prune industry OF
| California, Oregon and Washington
| is one of the marvels of agriculture,
organized alike in the interests of
| the producer and consumer.
From sheer poverty to unparal-
| leled prosperity in five years is the
result of the organization of the
Pacific Coast prune growers. Con-
sumers may remember, a few years
Iago, when it was possible to buy
prunes for an average price of from
fifteen cents to twenty-five cents
a pound. For ten years prior to
1917 the prune growers of the
Pacific Coast received an average
price of only three cents a pound
for all they produced.
| 1t is beyond the realm of reason
to presume that where there is nc
expensive process of manufacture
uct an increase of 500 to 600 pei
cent in the price is justified be-
tween the producers farm and the
consumers kitchen. The consumer
can buy prunes today for an aver
age price no higher than he paid
| five years ago. But the quality
is Incompatible, for the growers
associations have aimed to sell tt
the consumer the most perfectly
standardized article of food it is
possible to produce.
The California Prune and April
cot Growers Association and the
Oregon Growers Cooperative Asso
citation are the two growers organi
cations which market more thar
fourfifths of all the dried prunes
| produced i'll this country. They
have been developed within tho
last five years out of Il situation
| which had resulted in thousands

even their grocery bills. Banker
who had made loans ON prune or
chards were loath to foreclose be
cause the actual value of prun
lands had decreased to such an ex
tent that the land would not re
turn the amount loaned if Offered
for public sale. This desperat
situation was due entirely to
system which permitted a most per
nicious speculation in buying AM
reselling prunes which took littl
account of the grower and even les
of the consumer.
