STANTON'S CAMPAIGN WINNING IN NORTH EARNEST ANTI-MACHINE MEN RALLYING TO HIS SUPPORT Private Advices from San Francisco Indicate That Business Interests Are Solidly Behind Him, and That His Vote in Northern Metropolis Will Be Strong—Steering Clear of Politicians, Making No Combinations, and Standing on His Record Phil A. Stanton, Southern California's only candidate for the Republican nomination of Governor, left San Francisco Sunday for a three weeks' campaign tour through the counties north of that city. He is traveling by automobile, and is accompanied by several of his Los Angeles friends, who are taking a lively interest in his candidacy. Mr. Stanton seems to have been very fortunate thus far in his campaign in getting the best element of the business interests of the state with him. He has been steering clear of the politicians, and working with the representative men in a'l of the cities and towns where he has visited. Before leaving on the northern trip he was interviewed, and stated that he is more than satisfied with the reception that has been given him in San Francisco and the cities across the Bay. "I have gained much strength during my stay in the Bay cities," he said, "and in places where I least expected it, too. Many of the leading business men have approached me voluntarily and said that they will aid me in the campaign, not only with their own votes, but with their influence among other..." CALL FOR FRUIT EXPERTS State Official Names Meeting Place Where New Plans Will Be Formed SACRAMENTO, June 7.—State Horizticultural Commissioner J. W. Jeffrey issued a call yesterday to all county horticultural commissioners, boards of supervisors and persons generally interested in the fruit and farming industry of California to meet in Sacramento on June 24, and continue in session the following day. The conference will handle the fruit industry from all angles. Most all counties where the fruit industry figures in the resources have under the new law appointed county horticultural commissioners who have successfully passed the State examinations. Every board of supervisors has been asked to send at least one of its members in order that thee official heads of the county may come in closer contact with the work and objects of the commissioners. SANTA ANA Forty apricot growers formed a county association by which the growers will work together in the sale of their crops. The organization is to be permanent. The directors are A. H. Stutsman, Dr. G. A. Bernelke, A. E. Bennett, W. C. Crawford and Frank Greenleaf. In years past, apricot growers have sold their crops by guesswork as much as by system. An effort will be made to get every grower in the county into the association. The celery, orange, lemon, walnut and poultry raisers all have associations and now the apricot men...

"I have gained much strength during my stay in the Bay cities," he said, "and in places where I least expected it, too. Many of the leading business men have approached me voluntarily and said that they will aid me in the campaign, not only with their own votes, but with their influence among others. It appears that the argument of my friends that I am a plain business-man, without any fads or frills, and that California needs a business man in the Governor's chair, appeals to a great many. Also the argument we have been making that Southern California is entitled to the Governor this term seems to strike the popular chord. Many of those who are now working for me in the north were not inclined to accept this at first, but now the majority of them are talking it altogether. Regardless of any other thing, they say, the square deal demands that Phil A Stanton be elected Governor." Private advice from the bay city are to effect that Stanton was approached by emissaries of the up-country machine and offered the support of that organization in the event he would turn over San Francisco's patronage to the machine. His reply was characteristic of the man, but while little is known of the substance of the interview, it is announced that Stanton stated his position in no uncertain terms. His reply was that when elected governor he would be governor of the whole state, and would delegate his authority to no man living in reference to patronage north or south. He refused to discuss the patronage question, adding that his appointments to office would be made with an eye singly to the best interests of the people of the state. "Have you been approached by agents of the railroad machine with a view to distribution of patronage to the push, in event of your election as governor?" he was asked. "That is a question which I can best answer by saying that I shall enter into no combinations with anyone as to patronage. That question will be settled when I arrive at it. I am making my campaign for the republican nomination for governor with the entire republican party of California, and I know no faction nor boss. I am going to be the next governor of California, and I shall treat county association by which the growers will work together in the sale of their crops. The organization is to be permanent. The directors are A. H. Stutsman, Dr. G. A. Bernelke, A. E. Bennett, W. C. Crawford and Frank Greenleaf. In years past, apricot growers have sold their crops by guesswork as much as by system. An effort will be made to get every grower in the county into the association. The celery, orange, lemon, walnut and poultry raisers all have associations, and now the apricot men join the ranks. The Prohibitionists of Orange county held a convention at G.A.R. Hall on Saturday. The convention decided to make up a county ticket in so far as candidates could be secured to run. A committee, consisting of Amos Wright, C. E. Utt, Charles Frost, N.H. Leonard and Ed A. Chaffee, was appointed to have the work of securing candidates in charge. The Prohibitionists are about 400 strong in this county. A greater part of the day's convention was taken up in discussing papers on party issues. A number of Democrats from various parts of the county met at the City Hall on Saturday at the third conference called with the expectation of settling upon candidates for Assemblyman and supervisor from the First District, Pap MacDonald of Berrydale, who was urged to be a candidate for Assemblyman, declined to run.

The next will be July 1, unless new developments just started should necessitate withholding one or two dividends. Its well No. 5 has just been started; No. 4 has been under construction some time; No. 2 is down 2300 feet and should be finished within the next thirth days; Nos. 1 and 3 are producing. No. 3 is an old well taken over from the Olinda Crude Oil company. The contract for building the Randolph school has been let to A. C. Black of Santa Ana, for $5550. Work will begin at once.

I do not go about the state saying I shall if elected kick all the railroads into the ocean, but I shall give them a square deal along with the other taxpayers of the state." "How do you stand on the state board of equalization; has the machine attempted to approach you upon this subject?" "I regard the raise by the state board of equalization of valuations in the south by $321,000,000 as the greatest outrage ever perpetuated by a legal body in this state. If I am elected governor I shall see to it that no more such highhanded outrages are perpetuated." "Has Mr. Herrin been to see you?" "Now look here, son, if you want to know anything about Mr. Herrin you had better go ask him." Persistent rumors come from San Francisco that the organization has made overtures to Stanton to pull its candidates out of the fight and get behind Stanton.

The growing popularity of the manual training department of the Fullerton Union High School has become so apparent that the trustees have advertised for bids for the erection of a polytechnic school. It is hoped to have the structure ready for occupancy soon after the beginning of the fall term. An exhibit of the work of the manual training department done in the past year will be held in the high school auditorium the 10th inst. OWENS RIVER POWER Col. Charles Jones, a mining and electrical engineer, has applied to the Board of Water Commissioners for a minimum of 30,000 horse power, or one-fourth of the entire capacity of the Owens River acqueduct power plant. This power is asked in view of establishing an immense iron smelting and steel plant near San Pedro to use ore from the immense San Bernardino mineral deposits. As there are yet two years before the completion of the Owens River acqueduct, this application is significant of the industrial development that will open up on the completion of this immense water enterprise.

CLAIMS HEAVY DAMAGES Fullerton Man Asks $100,000 for False Arrest Louis Schneiderman, a Fullerton tailor, who was some weeks ago arrested on a charge of forgery and taken to San Antonio, Texas, where he was immediately released from custody as not being the man wanted, has instituted an action for $100,000 damages against Wm. J. Burns and his detective agency. Burns accused Schneiderman of uttering forged checks in San Antonia, arrested him, locked him in the Orange County Jail at Santa Ana, brought him to Los Angeles, where he was again incarcerated, and later took their prisoner to San Antonio, where he was again placed behind the bars. When taken before two officials of the Alamo National Bank, which institution had cashed the alleged forged checks, they immediately declared Schneiderman was not the man wanted, and made profuse apologies, and gave him a letter of vindication. Schneiderman came back and lost no time in having the suit prepared by his attorneys, Rogers & Dehm, who filed the action in the Superior Court. Beside Burns, the defendants named in the papers are William P. Sheridan E.R. Mills, R. Stone, American Bankers' Association, Burns & Sheridan National Detective Agency, Charles E. Ruddock and D. S. Linebarger. The complaint declares that Sheridan pretends to be secretary of the so-called detective agency; that Mills pre tends to be a detective and superintendent of the agency; Stone is City Marshal at Fullerton, and participated in the arrest of Schneiderman, while Ruddock and Linebarger are bondsmen for Marshal Stone. The suit takes a rap at the American Bankers' Association, which or ROUND TRIP OF COMET Some Changes on Earth by the Time It Returns in 1986 In getting on board don't forget to leave your body on the earth, for on the comet you will find nothing to eat—no water, no air. We must then go in spirit only. First, on getting aboard, we take a look around. The center of the comet is a solid body—perhaps earth and metal. It may be 50 or 100 miles in diameter. In any case, it is very small in comparison with the earth. It is not hot, but rather warm on account of having passed so near the sun. We find no vegetation or any sign of life whatever. What a dreary, lifeless waste. All about us is a strange luminous fog that almost shuts out the sun on one side and the earth on the other. The sun looks about as large as it does from the earth, while the earth looks like a large moon, going through all the phases of the moon. Halling Jupiter On we speed; within a few months the earth disappears altogether, and the sun grows smaller and smaller. We pass the orbit of Mars, but are too far away from that interesting planet to determine whether there are people living there or not. Still on, and when we have traveled nearly 500,000,000 miles we cross the orbit of Jupiter, that giant planet 1200 times the size of our earth. But we must not go too near, or our little sky chariot will be thrown out of its course by his powerful attraction of gravitation. We are near enough, however, to see that this great planet is not inhabited. It is not fully cold. Probably millions of years ago it was a molten, white-hot mass. Saturn, another vast globe, with its wonderful rings, second only to Jupiter in size, we see far in the distance. HEADS FOR OREGON LINE Speaker Stanton Invading Counties of the N.C.B. Phil A. Stanton, candidate for the republican nomination for governor has reached the northern counties on his tour of the state in the interest of his campaign. He has visited nearly every city and town in the great San Joaquin valley, and used on his arrival in San Francisco he made the statement that he has met but one man on the entire trip who has said that the argument that Southern California is entitled to governorship this time is not good Mr. Stanton says that he is going to use the argument clear to the Oregon line. "When a man is in the right," he says, "his argument must have weight among right-thinking, honest and sensible men, and that sort of man is what I am appealing to." Do not expect the men who are honest and just to support me, but I have great faith in the integrity and justness of the men of California, and therefore I expect to get their votes." The statement is a manly one, should cause many to favor Mr. Stanton. He is making a clean, open, independent fight for the governorship, and one of the strongest arguments in his favor is that if he is elected governor no man, or no set of men in the state, will have claims on him. He is the people's candidate, and only the people will have claims on him. He will look to the people of the state, and not to any political boss for orders, where he is governor. Another thing in favor of Mr. Stanton's candidacy for the republican nomination is the fact that many republicans who have the interests of the republican party at heart believe him to be the only one of the five... National Detective Agency, Charles E. Ruddock and D. S. Linebarger. The complaint declares that Sheridan pretends to be secretary of the so-called detective agency; that Mills pre tends to be a detective and superintendent of the agency; Stone is City Marshal at Fullerton, and participated in the arrest of Schneiderman, while Ruddock and Linebarger are bondsmen for Marshal Stone. The suit takes a rap at the American Bankers' Association, which organization is alleged to have employed Burns, to succeed the Pinkerton Detective Agency, when officers of the organization "knew that Burns was of evil reputation, and notoriously incompetent and untrustworthy." He declares he was taken into the San Antonio jail, and confined in a dirty, filthy, unsanitary, unhealthy cell filled with sewer gas and horrible stenches from an open connection with the city sewer, and infested with a multitude of loathsome bugs and vermin. And here he was kept one night in solitary confinement, save for the presence of throngs and packs of rats, which fought, ran about, bit each other, squealed and snarled during the night, and ran over the person of Schneiderman and over his bed, compelling the prisoner to remain entirely without sleep until morning, when the rats, according to their nature, retired to the sewers from whence they came. He says that when taken before Ernest L. Brown and F. H. Prescott, assistant cashier and paying teller, respectively, of the Alamo National Bank, and Frank Harris, teller of the State Bank and Trust Company, San Antonio, for the purpose of identification in connection with the uttering of forged checks, they instantly declared that he was not the guilty person. Then, he says, he was released with but $2 in his pockets and thousands of miles from home. Schneiderman has been a missionary to Africa, and worked as a tailor to secure money to carry on his missionary work and support his wife and two children. In the suit he says that following the accusation and arrest, the matter was given much publicity throughout the world and his reputation was greatly injured. He asks for judgment against all of the defendants named, except Ruddock and Linebarger, for the sum of $100,000, together with costs of the suit, and from each of the last named he demands $5000. AN INVENTIVE GENIUS bit of Jupiter, that giant planet 1200 times the size of our earth. But we must not go too near, or our little sky chariot will be thrown out of its course by his powerful attraction of gravitation. We are near enough, however, to see that this great planet is not inhabited. It is not fully cold. Probably millions of years ago it was a molten, white-hot mass. Saturn, another vast globe, with its wonderful rings, second only to Jupiter in size, we see far in the distance. Years pass; we are now past the orbit of Uranus and are approaching the utmost bounds of the solar system—the orbit of Neptune—nearly 3,000,000,000 miles from our little earth. Cold and Dark Two or three things we must now take account of—first, it has become intensely cold. The little comet-globe on which we are floating has not heat of its own; the sun is very far away and so great is the cold that had we brought our bodies with us we could not live an hour. Second, it is as dark as midnight. The sun is like a bright star in the sky. Myriads of other stars are visible, but their light is but little greater than it was when we were on earth. Third, our speed has been growing less and less all these years, on account of the sun's gravitation drawing us back. At length our outward motion ceases altogether. We are about 500,000,000 miles beyond the orbit of Neptune in the boundless depths of space. Our flight has continued a little more than 37½ years. Now we turn slowly about and begin our return journey and drawn by the sun's power; our speed accelerates every hour for nearly 38 years, when we pass again around the sun at the stupendous velocity of 30 miles per second. But note this. We never seemed to be moving at all, except that the sun and other bodies seemed to change their size and position. When you ride in an automobile or on an airship the air whizzes past you; but not so on the comet. All is absolute silence and you are not sensible of any motion. The earth is moving at the rate of 19 miles a seond but who would know it if the astronomers did not tell us? The Return Journey Since we turned about, far away in the space beyond Neptune, we have been rushing even faster toward the sun. Here we are again at last in the heart of the solar system. We rush round that glowing orb with tremendous velocity. But we can AN INVENTIVE GENIUS Nikola Tesla, the man who harnessed Niagara, was talking to an interviewer about inventions. "The successful inventor," said Mr. Tesla, smiling, "has an odd, qualit mind, a mind full of surprises. Thus Smerhurst, I am convinced, was an inventor at heart, though circumstances had made a grocer of him. "Smethurst, during his seaside holiday, was seen upon the board walk with a large bottle under his arm. "'Smethurst,' said an acquaintance, 'what have you got in that bottle that I see you carrying about with you day and night?' 'Chloroform,' said Smethurst. 'What the deuce are you doing with chloroform here on the board walk?' 'That big dub of a Jones, said Smethurst, 'has threatened to give me a sound thrashing the first time he meets me, and as soon as I see him coming I'm going to take a big dose. I don't propose to suffer if I can help it.'" A RISING PROFESSION "What's your friend's business?" "Oh, he's a discoverer of new Rembrandts." The Return Journey Since we turned about, far away in the space beyond Neptune, we have been rushing even faster toward the sun. Here we are again at last in the heart of the solar system. We rush round that glowing orb with tremendous velocity. But we can not fall into it owing to our greatly increased centrifugal force. We pass round the sun and start again on another long journey through interplanetary space. But we have had a long-enough sky journey. Let us alight on the earth when we come nearest to it, and greet our friends once more. Our friends. Behold, they are dead—95 per cent of them—all except some of those who were children when we left The toddling boy of four years who waved us good-bye is now tottering under the weight of fourscore. It is now 1986 and our wonderful sky-tour has consumed 70 years. HENRY W. ELSON. A POOR SHOW We recall the American story of an Englishman who went to a variety show in the course of which a knife-thrower appeared. The knife-thrower jammed his assistant up against one end of the stage and threw six knives, so that the assistant's head had a sort of steel frame around it. The Britlisher said, according to our American, "Let's get out of this jolly rotten show. He's missing his object every time." FOR OREGON LINE Stanton Invading Counties of the N.C.B.
