EASTERNERS INVOLVED. Baltimore Packers to Label Their Fruit as From This State. A FEW DISASTROUS BESTJLTS Their Pians Discovered by an Eastern Agent of the San Francisco Fruit Exchange. News has just been received by the San Francisco Fruit Exchange of what would, if authentic, be a gigantic fraud perpetrated on the fruit packers and growers of California. The news is in the shape of a communication sent to one ot the members of the exefiange by an agent located in one of the Middle Western States.

The honesty and integrity of the writer are vouched for by the members of the San Francisco Fruit Exchange. The names of the parties to this scneme are known to the officers of the Fruit Exchange, but for certain obvious reasons will not be given publicity at this time. In order to comprehend the wrong intended to be done California peaches by the Eastern packers concerned in the affair it is necessary only to print the communication, which follows: I learned to-day confidentially that the Baltimore packers intend packing a large quantity of peaches this season under California labels, both standards and seconds. One broker has already taken orders for 4000 cases, subject to approval of samples and prices, and the buyers have selected their The cans are to be labeled in Baltimore and shipped in plain cases, the packer furnishing a stencil and the cases to be branded after arrival at destination. From the indifference manifested by the jobbers in this State I am inclined to believe that the Jobbers' Association here, at a meeting held, last month, agreed to refrain from buying any canned fruit futures from California.

They all talk in the same vein, and say they will buy the goods next spring or when they need them, and that the California packer must carry the goods. Baltimore packers are also going to pack sliced peaches and put them on the market so as to afford both jobber and retailer a good profit by selling to the consumer at 10 cents. Secretary T. S. Taylor stated yesterday that the- parties to the scheme had been written to in regard to the matter and the affair will be probed to the bottom.

In case they deny the report steps will be taken at once to ascertain. its veracity. If it is found to be true, the matter will be given full publicity, and the Jaw will be invoked to prevent the consummation of the fraud. "California Backers," said Secretary Taylor, "generally bear, in mind the amount of fruit disposed of the previous year when engaged in packing. If the Eastern, market should be flooded with Eastern fruit, purporting to be grown in California, the local packers would be unable to get rid of much of their canned fruit, and great financial damage would result.

"Then again, the Eastern packers would have no freight across the continent to pay, and consequently could Bell their fruit more cheaply. This would prevent competition. Besides, for the same reason, they could export fruit more cheaply than we. This would be a vast injury to California packers as well as growers. "If we can prove that this alleged nefarious scheme exists there will oe trouble in store for the parties concerned." FORT MASON MURDER.

Preliminary Examination of Private James Kelly Commenced Before Judge Conlan. The preliminary examination of Private James Kelly of Battery Fifth Artillery, charged with the murder of Private Joseph -E. Quinn at Fort Mason on Friday night, July 10, was commenced before Judge Conlan yesterday. Four witnesses were examined and their evidence was similar to that given at the Coroner's inquest. Police Corporal George W.

Russell submitted a chart showing the location of the murder. Private John P. Jones testified to an altercation In which Kelly and Quinn participated, and then Kelly went Dehind the hose-reel house, following Quinn up. Privates John Wbalen and John O'Donnell gave damaging testimony against Kelly. The former testified that he heard Quinn say that his jugular was cut and he saw Kelly walking away.

O'Donnell testified that Quinn fell into his arms, saying he haa been cut he was done for. He asked Qninn who bad cut him and Quinn whispered "Kelly." Further examination of tbe witnesses will be held this afternoon. MORE PROOF COMES IN. Advertising Paya Promptly, Pays 'What One Ad. Did.

Last Monday morning the California Furniture Company advertised a "Red- Letter" sale, to commence that day. No mention of it had been previously made, but before noon tne big store commenced to fill up, and in the atternoon there were actually more people in the store than could be waited on handily. Of course "red-letter" days are pretty well known to furniture buyers and full stores are common enough, but it goes to show that advertisements are read and more, that advertisement reaaers are buyers. "Good furniture, quick prices," is the "short and sweet" way the California Furniture Company tells about "red-letter" days. These words mean more than you would think from first reading.

THE GOLD EXCHANGE. General Walter Tnrnbnll Issues Hit Semi- Annual Report.

All Hands Appear to Anxious to Give the Good Work a Help- Ing Hand. Visitors from all parts of the State continue to call at the Woman Suffrage Bureau. Among yesterday's callers were a number of ladies from Mcidera County, who reported that the movement is actually boomine in their section, women from twenty and thirty miles away coming in farm wagons to attend the lectures. Mrs. Sweet received the country visitors with a cordial welcome and failed not to call their attention to the famous punchbowl and the dime-and-baliot box close by, while Miss Martin, not to be outdone in zeal, clapped the pretty badge of the association upon all comers.

L. Smiley's Expert Opinion of Its Theory and Practice. He Thinks It Will Result in Fraui. Election Officers Who Are Not Voters. "The theory of precinct registration," saia T.

J. L. Smiley, the Republican representative, "is all vety well, but the practice is essentially different. There are in this City upward of 900 election officers, not more than one-fifth of them being qualified electors. The precinct registration this year will, I am sure, be productive of extensive frauds.

"Why, only a small proportion of the recently appointed inspectors, judges and clerks of election haa a legal residence in the City and County of San Francisco and is entitled to vote. The greater the number of precincts thp wider is the scope given to fraud. Registrar Hinton is seemingly a fair-minded man, but he cannot control the political consciences of his numerous subordinates. They, necessarily will be influenced by personal and partisan considerations. I think that all registration should be conducted at the City Hall.

This, while it would not altogether prevent fraud, would greatly lessen the chances for its perpetration. "As I have said, many of the recently appointed officers of election are not voters, and besides many more of them are not even residents of the precincts from which they make their applications. "There are several important constitutional amendments to be voted upon at the coming election, such as woman's suffrage, the exemption of taxation npon mortgages, and these should be given a place upon the ticket. Thus far the necessary provisions for bringing these topics before tbe attention of the people and giving them their proper places upon the ticket have not been made. The registration this year is comparatively heavy, but this is not necessarily any indication of fraud, which may be looked for later in the precincts.

"It is surprising how many men are anxious to earn the allowed for service on precinct boards of registration, and to what length they will go in securing such appointments. Political parasites and men around town without any visible means of support will file applications for positions with the Registrar and swear that they are electors of the City and County of San Francisco and residents at the Lick House or some ether fashionable hotel, when in truth they are neither one nor the other. I trust that by the exercise of due vigilance we shall be able to detect and prevent all election frauds which may be attempted during the coming campaign, and to secure to the people a fair count and an honest expression of the public sentiment."

Sixth year Aug. 4. v. Hoitt, Ph.D., NEWS FROM THE OVERDUE FLEET, Several Vessels Arrived Safely in Port Yesterday. LIGHT WINDS DELAYED The Abandoned British Ship Gowanbank Sighted by the Loch Linnhe.

WAS DESERTED MOHTHS AGO Captain Anderson of the Oceania Vance Has Been Superseded by Captain Dart. Several overdue ships arrived in port yesterday, and all reported light baffling winds. The first to get in British ship Loch Linnhe, 160 days from Ham- burg. Only one accidentjhappened during the voyaee. On March 25 last William Brown, an A.

8., fell from the mizzen top and fractured his skull. He lived for an hour, but never regained consciousness. Captain Cummings spoke quite a fleet of ships. On April 8, in latitude 39.40 south, longitude 53 west, the Brituu ship Lathom, from Swansea for Ban Francisco, was spoken. The Lathom has since been reported as having put into Valparaiso for water.

She had on board the crew of the British ship Gowanbank, which was abandoned off the Horn. On- April 22, in latitude 55.50 south, longitude 6J.30 west, anfabandoned four-masted iron ship, partially dismasted, was passed. This was probably tbe Gowanbank. which has now been drifting about the Horn for months. On the same date that the abandoned ship was passed, the ships Fulwood and Gulf Stream were sighteu oft Staten Island.

They were making good weather of it and shonld reach purty in safet. The schooner Martha W. Tuft reached port soon after the Loch Linnbe. She was forty-eight days making the run from Tres Marias, Mexico. About a fortnight ago tae vessel began to run out of proi visions and everybody was placed on short i allowance.

Fortunately the bark Albert from Honolulu came along, and Captain Griffiths supplied the Tuft with eight days' supplies. Captain Olsen of the schooner reports that it was nothing but a drifting match from Tres Marias to San Francisco. The barkentine City of Papeete made an unusually lone passage from Tahiti. She was forty-five days making the run, and as she is supposed to leave again on tbe Ist of August with the French mail there will be a scramble to unload and load her i again. Captain Berude reports light winds throughout.

On July 4 dis vessel sailed over what appeared to be the keel of a vessel. It was about 100 feet long and was bolted with four and six inch spikes. This was in latitude 22.20 north, longitude 153 west. This is probably the keel that was reported by one of the coasters a couple of weeks ago. There is some talk of charterinar the Alaska excursion steamer Mexico for a I run to the wreck of the Colombia next Sunday.

The people who engineered the last excursion and made such a success of it are behind this venture, and should they decide to put this handsome and commodious steamer on the run it is sure to be a success. Wreckers are at work on the stranded Colombia, and this will probably be the last opportunity of getting a look at she lies undej Pigeon Point. Mexico will leave at 9 :30 a. m. rom Broadway wharf, and will get back aoout fi-30 p.

and the Piper- Aden-Goodall Company will handle her should she go. The barkentine Planter, which ran between here and Honolulu until the Southern Pacific's discrimination drove trade to Portland, has been taken from her retirement, and will load lumber at Eureka for Sydney, N. 8. W. The schooner Oceania Vance, now at Honolulu, has a new Captain Dart, late of the schooner Sparrow, went down to the islands to assume command, but had to carry the matter to the consular courts before he could oust Captain Anderson.

The latter came back to San Francisco on the steamer Australia, but he has not so far gone near the owners. The agent of the vessel says that since the vessel sailed for Australia" they have never heard from the master, and learned by the last steamer, from outside sources, that he had taken three women with him, as passengers, from Bydney to Honolulu. The managing owner would like to see Anderson. Plumbers Protest. Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald has gent a letter to the Board of Health requesting that the board make a few changes in the rules and regulations, adopted April 15, 1896, referring to the examination of persons desiring to become registered as master or journeymen plumbers.

One section provides that such examinations shall be held on the first and third Friday of each month at 3p. m. The objection to this is that the hour will necessitate the applicant losing half a day's work. The second objection in the assessment of 50 cents npon each person taking an examination. The Commissioner's request was made at the instance of the Plumbers' Union, who wish to have the hour changed from 3:30 p.

m. to 8 p. m. and who do not think that any charge should be inaae. QUADE CO, MAY SETTLE The Firm Will Probably Pay Sever ty-five Cents on the Dollar.

If Some Agreement Is Not Reached at Tc-Day's Conference Insolvency May Result. There is a very fair probability that the assignment made by A. Quade the wholesale grocers, at 6.36 Market street, for the benefit oi their creditors, will be seltled soon in a way satisfactory both to the firm and its creditors. A committee of the Board of Trade reported that the liabilities amount to $20,000. Ti i assets, they found, would I fully cover this amount.

Quade Co. made a proposition to settle for 50 cents on the dollar, but the creditors thought that they mieht get more. It was finally agreed that a proposition should be made to Quade Co. to settle for 75 cents on the dollar. Tne result canj not be known until after a conference to be held to-day at 4 p.

m. If Quade Co. agree to the proposition of the creditors it is believed that the affair will be settled to the satisfaction of all in the near future, otherwise the firm will be obliged either to go into insolvency I or hand the business over to the creditors and permit the matter to wind up in liquidation.

Students Should Spend Two Years in Class Work and One Tear in Law Office. Professor William H. Townsend of the law department in Yale University, where he has been teaching for the last fifteen years, arrived at the Palace Hotel yesterday from the Yosemlte and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, two scenic wonders that were largely responsible for this, his first visit to the Far West.

Like almost every other member of the faculty of New Haven, Professor Townsend is teaching where he himself was taught years before He was graduated from Yale University with the class of '71, of which, he says, Gordon Blanding, ths attorney of this City, was also a member. Pour years ago Professor Townsend was appointed United States District Judge of Connecticut, a position he still holds. For fifteen years previous to bis judicial appointment he was a practicing attorney in New Haven and was for some time corporation council of that city. Corporation law is his specialty. Comparing Yale of '71 with Yale of '96 Professor Townsend says that in his day a graduating class of 100 was considered large, while now 800 men are graduated in one year from the combined academic and scientific departments of Yale, which has a total enrollment of nearly 2500 stuaents.

This year the law course has been increased from two years to three years. Three years of successful study will be required for the degree of LL.B., four years for M.L., five years for D.C.L. (doctor of common law a degree first created by Yale) and six years for LL.D. At present there are between 200 and 300 students in the Yale law school. Professor Townsend's advice to a prospective law student is to spend two years in a good law school, getting the principles, and then a year in a law office learning to apply them before attempting to practice.

He says that he in teaching with a textbook, supplemented by cases and discussions in class, but he is opposed to the Harvard principle of Btudying cases alone. "Yale football prospects," he remarked, with the evident pride of a man loyal to hiB alma mater, "are, as usual, good. Oh, we'd like to meet you fellows out here. There is a very warm feeling at Yale for the California universities, for you have had our coaches to train Camp, Butterwortb, Heffelfinger and the Professor Townsend is accompanied by his wife and Mias Townsend and his two sons. To-day the party will leave for Del Monte, but will return for a few days' visit in this City before going East.
