The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel. Charles Kuchel. EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY...FEBRUARY 20, 1896 ERRORS OF THE TELEPHONE, AND OTHER MATTERS In the Los Angeles Times of February 5th we find a feeble bit of editorial travail essaying to make amends for the work of its worse than contemptible correspondent at Santa Ana, whom we had recently occasion to refer to as an unconscionable falsifier; and assuming, by a disingenious method of reasoning, peculiar to the Times, to make "the epithets rebound upon ourself." Well, hardly. The impossible correspondent referred to, writing to the Times about the annual election of Directors in the water company—which we now refer to again not so much to emphasize the truthfulness of our position as to right the wrong which he seeks to perpetrate—wrote first as follows: The meeting was called to order shortly after 2 o'clock, and it was not long until it became apparent that there would be trouble over the too frequent use of proxies. The fact developed that the same proxies were voted several times, and the next thing in order was to devise some means of ascertainment which were the proper ones to be allowed. This work precipitated a wrangle which lengthened out, taking up almost the entire afternoon. This was a lie, barefaced and unjustifiable, reflecting as it did not only upon the stockholders who were thus charged by implication with attempting to vote proxies more than once, but upon the entire community as well. No one, as we said at the time, who was present at that meeting could have written in such gross abandonment of truth—no one so situated could have been guilty of a thing so indelicate, so indefensible, so totally devoid of truth. The Times of the 5th instant hobbles along with this lame excuse: Unfortunately the correspondent did err intentionally in this, for the vulnerable sentence should have read: "The fact developed that the same proxies were revoked several times," etc—the use of the word "voted" being chargeable wholly to an error of transmission in a telephone message, the similarity of sound and the natural inference leading to the acceptance of the wrong word. "Natural inference" is quite good indeed. But we are assured now—of what we were reasonably certain before—that this item was telephoned over from Anaheim to Santa Ana, to be used in belaboring the company by this correspondent, whose worse than contemptible references to the Board of Direc- Fullerton paper of the Times correspondent's table observations, and amounts to but little. It was probably taken in great part from the Times, and in reprinting it that paper merely sees itself as in a looking glass. If, however, the election of two men out of seven may be considered a victory for the reformers, we are content to leave it so. From an editorial In the Orange Post is taken this excerpt: "It is reported that proxies in some cases were dated up to the very hour and minute of their deposit, the signers not having been seen within a week previous." The Times must be pretty hard up indeed to be forced to the recourse of borrowing this idle rumor to bolster itself up in its nefarious work. Of course it is not true, as doubtless the editor of the Post felt at the time of writing it. Nor is this all. Here is another item, taken from this correspondent's table observations, that the Times has overlooked. We reprint it, not that any harm ensued upon its publication, nor that its gravity is such as to demand an explanation, but simply to show what an absurd and ludicrous jackass this unspeakable correspondent really is: The trouble was principally over the proxies that had been given by the stockholders to be voted. [There was no trouble.] Some of them were given out as many as three times (They were not—was this an error of the telephone!) and the holders of them urged that they had a right to vote them. [They did not.] So close was the time counted on some of them that the consideration of hours would not suffice and minutes had to be resorted to. [They were not, nor were the hours, you silly fool] in order to determine who should have the benefit of the proxy. What has the Times to say about this? Are these self-evident untruths attributable to errors of the telephone? Or in the absence of that, and their ever-present and palpable absurdity, is the only explanation that the correspondent's imbecility is such that he cannot reckon right from wrong, sense from nonsense? Our charges do not rebound upon ourselves, not by much. They are patent truths, understood by every one here who is at all conversant with the merits of the situation. The charges stand. The Times correspondent stands convicted of willful mendacity and shameless misrepresentation. A great paper such as the Times is coming to be cannot afford to persist in such a policy. Our people are entitled to a respectful hearing at its hands (which they have not had from this correspondent), and falling that, we are entitled to respectful quiet. A SCURRILIOUS PUBLICATION issued in Los Angeles, under the guise of a trade paper, but really nothing more than a circular printed by one Marshal V. Hartranft, a wax fat upon the exertions of the orchardist while the latter were ground down into the very dregs of poverty. Nothing but ruined them in the face, as year after year their fruit went to swell the profits of their commission men, while they never reaped dollar for their fruit, and had frequently we say a bill to pay for charges in the shipment of the oranges to market—for be known the commission men refused to hand a car of fruit unless the grower bound himself to pay all charges in the marketing, and be responsible for all losses. An honest journal exacts no remuneration for espousing their cause. As to the integrity of THE GAZETTE we doubt if it be in power of this renegade Philadelphian to call it into question. To be charged with writing in the Arizona Kicker style of outburst is quite bad enough to be sure; but to write as does the dull East Bird in the Los Angeles Times is the atheosis of literary sin. PROTECTION FOR SUGAR EDITOR GAZETTE:—In your last issue I change the sense of my article on sugar changing two words. You make me to do "But it's sufficiently protected." My pass read, "But is it sufficiently protected?" We also make me to use a "not" two lines below. The sentence should have read as follows: "Why do they thus treat sugar? So affirm that it is already protected above certain interests of their Estates. But is it scientifically protected to enable the industry grow? It seems to one who is not a star man that that is the statesmanlike manner look at all such questions, and not be the dog in the manger." The brute we not eat, or allow any other animal to come and eat. Some of our Congressmen can get what they want; so they say, you see beet and sugar cane growers shall not be advance of us. That may be wise, but looks to me short sighted. Let it be known that it is the farmer who now insist upon having sugar are protected. They are looking forward to time—which should be now close at hail when 3,000,000 of acres can be annexed planted to beets. This will give employment to 300,000 farmers, or their sons, workers side by side in the field instead of having send their boys to find employment at home and home influences. Farm are perfectly satisfied to have iron and steel and wool and cotton, and all of their ducts, sufficiently protected to ensure wages to the workman. But they will insinuate that this new industry of growing their material for sugar shall also be sufficiently protected to insure ample returns for labor. See? T.J.John Unfortunately the correspondent did err intentionally in this, for the vulnerable sentence should have read: "The fact developed that the same proxies were revoked several times," etc.—the use of a "voted" being chargeable to an error of transmission in a telephone message, the similarity of sound and the natural inference leading to the acceptance of the wrong word. "Natural inference" is quite good indeed. But we are assured now—of what we were reasonably certain before—that this item was telephoned over from Anaheim to Santa Ana, to be used in belaboring the company by this correspondent, whose worse than contemptible references to the Board of Directors for some time hitherto had been inexplicable. We now charge that the man who telephoned this message over was not present at the meeting—not for an instant during the twelve hours of the day and night session—and his only means of knowing what was happening at the time was by the uncertain process of percolating gossip on the street. If he wished to inform the Times' readers as to what was really occurring, why did he remain away—why did he select this one item, which was distorted, "wholly by an error of transmission in a telephone message" to a covert insinuation against the integrity of the stockholders, and to the entire community as well! We repeat the meeting was characterized by the utmost decorum, and that the listing of the less than a half dozen proxies that had been revoked and rerevoked should have precipitated a wrangle would have been inexplicable to all but this lunk-headed correspondent. In making his choleric manifestation toward the Times correspondent, THE GAZETTE editor was not sure of his footing, for his own editorial and news column are not consistent sist that they are, as we shall see. From the report of the water meeting, printed in that same issue THE GAZETTE it is learned that certain skirmishing outwitted their adversaries in securing proxies, and would refuse to resign if requested. Now, in the name of common sense, what does all this mean? "And would refuse to resign if requested!" What does that mean? Who had the power to ask a candidate who had by "violorous skirmishing outwitted his adversaries," to resign? On the contrary, it would seem to us that to request such a man to resign, after "outwitting his adversaries," would come in rather bad taste. But no one had the power to call upon a candidate to resign. The field was free and open to all, and the stupid drivel quoted from the Times could omanate only from the Prize Jackass of the Herd. In its editorial THE GAZETTE says that "McFadden was not a candidate," but in its news columns it says that Mr. McFadden was nominated by Mr. Parker. Mr. McFadden was no more a candidate, even though placed in nomination, than Col. Otis would have been had one of his jackass understrappers arose in meeting and bellowed his name out vociferously to an admiring world. We doubt if there was ever a meeting of a similar corporation that names of stockholders were not presented for preference who were candidates in no sense of the term. The fact that Mr. McFadden received not a single vote in the election ought to be of sufficient presumptive evidence that he was not a candidate; and that our editorial note embracing that mention should have been misconstrued in meaning that we "were unfortunately in this, for the vulnerable sentence should have read: 'The fact developed that the same proxies were revoked several times,' etc.—the use of a "voted" being chargeable to an error of transmission in a telephone message, the similarity of sound and the natural inference leading to the acceptance of the wrong word.

Otis would have been had one of his jackass understrappers arose in meeting and bellowed his name out vociferously to an admiring world. We doubt if there was ever a meeting of a similar corporation that names of stockholders were not presented for preference who were candidates in no sense of the term. The fact that Mr. McFadden received not a single vote in the election ought to be of sufficient presumptive evidence that he was not a candidate; and that our editorial note embracing that mention should have been misconstrued into meaning that we "were not sure of our footing," in view of the mention of the gentleman's nomination in our local report of the meeting, could be evolved from the brain of only the undisputed champion of The Herd. Mr. McFadden was not a candidate, even though placed in nomination; we were not uncertain as to "our footing," and our editorial comment upon our local columns tallies with the facts accurately. There were "revocations of revocations," and a general struggle to put the other fellows out and yet "there never was a more orderly meeting." The Times correspondent did not say that there was any bloodshed, or even any acts of physical violence. The correspondent did say that "All afternoon Saturday and until 10 o'clock at night, the Anaheim Union Water Company wrangled over the selection of a new board of directors," and this, even, is denied by THE GAZETTE editorially, but its local reporter says that the result was not announced until 11 p.m. The time of the announcement of the result of the election has very little to do with the sneering assertion that the meeting was characterized by wrangling and dissention. As a matter of fact the proxies were not before the meeting at all, except as they were answered to at roll-call. Their listing was delegated to a committee, and pending the preparation of the voting list the meeting adjourned for recess. Nor would the ludicrous assertion by this correspondent that there was "bloodshed at the meeting," or other overt act, be more conspicuously out of place than his self-evident desire to assail the board, and through them the community. There were "revocations of revocations"—possibly a half dozen or so out of the hundreds of proxies on the voting list—but the matter was adjusted amicably, without resort to wrangling. In this connection some quotations from other papers may be of interest. The Fullerton Tribune says: "It was after 10 o'clock p.m. before the balloting was finished, which resulted in the following-named gentlemen as directors for the ensuing year: E. R. Amorige, George B. Key, Max Nebelung, C. Spencer, E. Browning, W. F. Bottsford and W. Crowther. The defeated candidates were W. M. McFadden and Sydmer Ross. It was a signal victory for the reformers, although they lost one candidate, Mr. Ross." This is almost a verbatim reprint into the greatest payment therefor, seems to us to be in the line of honorable mention. A later edition of Mr. Hartranft's circular favors us with the following: There is a paper known as THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE, which has made itself notorious with the hearalding of a certain $20,000 car line rebate money which the growers never received, and other items of exchange sophistry equally as misleading and false. This valued contemporary of our expiled several copies of the Reporter around Anaheim, and that famous editor became at once delirious. After he had spread several copies on his office floor and jumped all over them, so that he could not see straight, then administered unto himself several "spider-juice cocktails," he sat down to everlastingly demolish us. Before he had finished he was talking about "The Earl Fruit Company, alias Parsons Waittamit," and other such contortions of the truth, with the evident intention of implying that the Earl Fruit Company was the author of an article which appeared in this paper over the signature of Parson Waittamit is worn exclusively by M. V. Hartranft. THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE is too well known in its own section to need any refutation of other statements made in the referred to editorial. If THE GAZETTE will tell its readers and other Exchange members the whereabouts of that $20,000 rebate money they editorialized so prominently a few months ago, they will be grateful and more likely to imbibe an occasional untruth from them. We wish to say again, and as emphatically as possible, that the money received from these freight rebates was distributed to the orange growers to the very last farthing. Let this man point out a single association of the dozens comprising the exchange that has failed to receive its share of this $26,000; or let him stand convicted of deliberate and intentional untruthfulness. These rebates, we may be permitted to remark in passing, were wrested from the commission men, who had previously enjoyed them—in one season going as high as $100,-000-by the power of the associated growers, who last year however controlled only half the entire Southern California crop, and enjoyed these rebates for only a part of their shipments. This year these rebates will amount to $40,000,and they will undoubtedly go on increasing, year after year, until the entire crop is handled by the exchange. These rebates are allowed from the excessive freight payments originally made by the grower. Who should be entitled to them—the orchardist, or the commission men? Originally these rebates went entirely to the latter and after receiving a rich reward therefrom, the growers had in many instances a bill to pay for losses sustained in shipping their fruit to market. Does Mr. Hartranft suppose for a moment that his tactics in mud slinging and malicious misrepresentation will deter the outspoken newspaper "under the influence of the exohange," to desist in its battle for the emancipation of the growers? We have seen commission men stopping for a week at "The Willows." The new store was rewarmed on Tuesday evening, the second party in two Lads and lassies tripped the light fax till the wee sama' hours. Tuesday afternoon Charles Turnen genial clerk of Smith & Thowson's mansion had a runaway. As he neared the door with five cases of eggs, his horse frightened and ran, and but for those presence of mind of Frank Whitson stopping the horse Mr. Turnen would be very badly hurt. As it was there went over him, bruising his arm and breaking two cases of eggs. Robert Wallace of the same firm was badly injured by cutting his leg while ing a chicken, and has been laid up week.

LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 17.—A mob d twenty masked men attacked the Wayne county jail at Monticello at an early hour yesterday morning. The jailer was overpowered, his keys taken away, the cells unlocked and Fountain Martin and James Troxel, who were arrested several weeks ago charged with burning the barn of Bonnie Bates, was taken from the prison. The men were carried to a point near Steubenville, where in a little grove the body of Martin was found cold in death, hanging from a limb. He had neither coat, hat nor shoes. Troxell appeared at a farmhouse three miles from the scene of the hanging and got his breakfast yesterday morning. He said that while the mob was hanging Martin he made his escape in the darkness. Tois was the third attempt to lynch Troxell. Three weeks ago he was taken from his home by a mob and hanged to a tree until he was nearly dead in order that he might confess to the burning of Bates' bars or tell who did it. He swore out warrants the next day for a number of prominent men in and around Steubenville, but he never appeared against them, and he was later placed in jail with Martin, who had at first been charged with burning the Bates barn. While in jail each accused the other of diarism. The Steubenville people learned of these conversations between Martin and Troxell and believing them both guilty of destroying nearly a score of barbs in Wayne county during the past year, they determined to make short work of them. No one has seen Troxell since he got breakfast yesterday and it is believed he is making his way into the Cumberland mountains, where pursuit would be well nigh impossible. In a recent editorial the Salem, Oregon, Independent says: "Time and again we seen Chamberlain's Cough Remedy tried and never without the most satisfactory results. Whenever we see a person afflicted with hoarseness, with a cough or cold, we invariably advise him to get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy; and when they do, they never regret it.

THE HOUSE SUB-COMMITTEE IS IN FAVOR OF AN INCREASE. WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—A considerable increase in the number of battleships for the navy is likely if the views prevail of the sub-committee of the House Naval Affairs Committee having in charge the preparation of the Naval Appropriation bill. The sub-committee was in session several hours today and the discussion disclosed a majority in favor of making provision for at least four and probably six line-of battle ships. The torpedo boats to be authorized will depend very largely on the number of battleships recommended. Should only four battleships be provided for some of the members think twenty torpedo boats should be allowed, but if an agreement is reached that six battleships are wanted, then the number of torpedo-boats will probably not exceed six or ten. Secretary Herbert recommended a provision for the enlistment of 1,000 additional men for the navy and favorable action was taken by the sub-committee regarding it. These men are needed, many of them for the meaning of the new ships being commissioned from time to time. The sum of $250,000 will be appropriated toward the construction of guns for the vessels under the subvention by the government, such as the Paris and the New York, and which may be called on for naval purposes in case of necessity. The proposition for the construction of new buildings for the naval academy, costing several millions of dollars, will not, it is said, be incorporated as a feature of the Naval Appropriation Bill.

New York, Feb. 18.-A special to the World from Havana says: Since the arrival here of Gov. Gen. Weyler a number of strange men, all unmistakably Spanish and all in civilian costume, have been seen on the streets of this city. They have been recognized as police detectives, the majority of whom have come from Barcelona, where many of them were conspicuous in the unearthing of the Anarohiste' plot a few years ago. The imminent departure of the Spanish generals, Canella and Garcia Navarro, for home, ostensibly on account of their impaired health, gives rise to the rumor that the Governor General is not on friendly terms with them owing to an incident that occurred when all three were in the Philippine Islands. It is also hinted that Martinez Campos left a letter in Porto Rico telling Gen. Weyler that Canella and Navarro had conspired against him. It is said that several political prisoners were shot last night at the Cabanas fortress, Antonio Lopez Coloma, who took part in the revolt last year at Ybarra, Matanzas, is reported to have been among the executed. A mulatto who came ashore from the Ward line steamship City of Washington carrying Cuban newspapers published in New York has been arrested. It is said he will be shot. No sailing or row-boat is allowed in Havana harbor after dark. Several evenings ago a citizen who tried to cross the bay in a row-boat was fired upon. Sousa's Band.
