IT WAS A VERY LIVELY MEETING. And the Midwinter People Car ried the Day. The Citrus Fair Will Undoubtedly Be Held in San Francisco. Proceedings or the Blldwlnter Fair As sociation Yesterday — The Mer chants Make a Fertile Pro test-Oilier Matters. It waa practically settled yesterday afternoon tbat Southern California will have no annual citrua fair thia year. Ban Franciaco will be given the pleasure instead. Tha matter waa decided at the joint meeting of the midwinter fair commis sioners for Southern California and rep resentatives from the chamber of com merce, which had been called in order to give Meaara. Gird and Hardlson, the Southern California representatives on tbe state board of horticulture,an oppor tunity of aacertaining the sentiments of tbe section in regard to holding the cit rua fair in Han Francisco instead of in Southern California. All of the delegatea from over the sec tion were in iavor of the change, and their expreaaiona leit no donbt in tbe minds of the two gentlemen where the majority of the people ol Southern Cali fornia desired the citrna show to go. Mr. Gird atated alter the meeting yeaterday that tbe citrua fair would be held In San Francieco witb the midwinter fair, althongb he had not yet aent in hia report to tbe board. The meeting wae attended by repre sentatives from the Merchants' associa tion, who opposed the fair leaving Los Angelea. The Southern California asso ciation of midwinter fair commissioners alao met and transacted important busi ness. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION. Mr. J. S. Slauson presided and O D. Wlllard acted ac secretary. Tba order of business for the sessions of tbe association as followed by the county organization was first adopted, after which tbe roll was called, the following being present: T. D, Stim aon, Charles Forman and Judge Silent of Loa Angeles; F. A. Foater, Ventura connty; J. R. Mewberry, Riverside county ; T. S. Ingraham, San Bernardi no oonnty; R. H. Young and Mr. Mc- Koon, San Diego county, Mr. Forman tben reported that the Southern California building was fairly •tarted, and if tbe weather was good it wonld be ready by the required time. The contractor had stated fnrther tbat he wonld especially endeavor to com plete one of tbe wings by the I'Oth inst., in order tbat the goods might be shipped and stored. He said further that Mr. Raw son bad informed him that if the people deaired to make a separate dis plays of minerals for their respective sections tbey ehould send aamples to the general building. He was asked if all of the contracts were made with the Midwinter Fair company. He replied that all of them had been made, and he would eend out to hia office and get copies of them. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DAY. Judge Silent reported the decision of the Loi Angelea county commissioners in regard to having a general Soutbern California day. He favored this rather tban each county having a special day. This was dijcuaaed at aorne length, the majority being in favor of each county having ita own individual day and then have a grand Soutbern California day. Tbe ebaireuggeated that the meeting abould decide what day the Southern California celebration should be held. Mr. Foster thought a committee bad better be appointed. Judge Silent moved tbat the secretary be instructed to communicate with the midwinter fair people and ask that the day be beld some lime during the latter part of April or tbe first part of May. Mr. Forman favored holding it during February, aa the best weather would fall at tbat time, and if put off until later, the eastern visitors would likely be endeavoring to leave for their bomee and conld not attend it. Judge Silent thought they Bhould wait until flowers and fruits were in pro fnaion, whicb was not in February. Mr. Young moved that Wednesday, February 21st., be selected as Soutbern California day. This wae seconded and carried. THE AGREEMENT. The aecretary tben read the agree ment made by the Southern California association with the California Mid winter Fair company. The agreement ia of considerable length, and apparently covers everything. One of the condi tions ia that no articles are to be shown ta tbe building for competition, these raving to go into the general building. Exception ia made in favor of tbe citrus displays, which can be shown in tbe bnilding for competition provided that tbe Southern California citrus fair was held in San Francisco. On motion of Mr. Foi man it was de cided to have additional copies of the agreement made and cent to tbe sur rounding oountiea. ADVISED TO KEEP ytHET. Jndge Silent atated tbey had received information tbat a restaurant was to be erected in front of the Southern Califor nia building. He deaired to ask Mr. Forman what be bad ascertained in re gard to it. Mr. Forman replied that he had seen men at work on excavation for this work and spoke to Director-Oeneral De Young in regard to it. Mr. De Young set out and ordered the work stopped. It was, ao far as Mr, Forman had ascertained, the annex of Humboldt county to the building. Judge Silent replied tbat tbe management of the fair had assured tbem tbat there would be nothing to de tract from the site or appearance of the Southern California building, and be favored tbe passing by the meeting of a mild query aa to whether they intend ed to allow theae buildings to be erected on tbe Southern California building site. Mr. f orman replied that the least said by this eection tbe better. Tbe mid winter fair people were so Bitnated now that they did not care especially wheth er or not Southern California exhibited. They had, in fact, strongly hinted to him that this section had delayed so long in making final answer that it had occasioned tbem considerable trouble. Mr. Slauson added that the people with whom tbe local committee had tieateda month ago had grown much greater now. < MR. FRANK WIOOINS. Mr. Forman then introduced the sub ject of Mr. Frank Wiggins' acceptance of tbe position of superintendent of tbe exhibit. After aome general talk, Mr, Wigging mated that be bad accepted the position. Mr. Wiggini also briefly addressed the meeting and especially urged tbem to decide as to how the work was to be divided between the association and in dividual counties. He was interrupted by the chairman, who stated that there was to be an im portant conference with Messrs. Qird and Hamilton, tbe local representatives on tbe state board ol agriculture, in re gard to holding the citrus fair at San Francisco, Tbe meeting tben adjourned for ha..' an honr in order to talk with theae two gentlemen. THB (THUS X A 111. Tbe meeting waa attended by repre sentatives of tbe chamber of commerce and Soutbern California Midwinter Fair association. It was called in order that tbe proposed removal of the fair might be generally discussed and enable the commissioners to ascertain tbe senti ments of the varioua sections in regard to lt. Mr. J. B. Lankershim, vice-president, ol tbe chamber, was called to the chair. Tbe meeting was alto attended by a delegation from the Merchants' associa tion, who came to protest against the removal of tbe fair from Los Angeles. Mr. Gard was introduced and spoke. He first briefly stated bii conference with the committee last September and tben ol the progress oi the matter. The northern growers recently attended a meeting where thty had fairly flung down the gauntlet to tbe live people to come. He thought tbat the growers ol thia section should not stand back,as the citrna industry waa abont tbe beet cared lor in the section. He waa followed by Mr. Hardlaon, who aaid that he pre ferred hearing aome of tbe other persons talk. MR. SI A I HON. Aa a member ol the executive com mittee, Mr. Slanaon atated he wonld express no opinion but aa an individual, he would. RIVERSIDE GOES NORTH. Mr. Newberry, oi Riverside county, then said tbat bis section waa prepared to make only one.exhibit thia year and that would be at tbe midwinter , *T» hat l, a, - .- ..1 t-t- 1 I 1 in.:. vtf uacuer ur aui tuv mv n uuiu uo held in Loa Angelea or Colton, it would be held without Riverside connty. VENTURA, TOO. Mr. Foster ol Ventura spoke in favor of making tbe exhibit in San Francisco, and said it will go there. EVER READY SAN DIEGO. Mr. McKoon aaid he was in favor of taking up tbe gauntlet of tbe northern and central growers and going np and taking their chancee with them. But, he continued, San Diego connty wonld go anywhere the exhibit waa held. SAN BERDOO, TOO. Mr. Ingrahm of San Bernardino county also spoke very earneatly in favor of tbe change to San Francieco. rUTTING IT ALL HP. Mr. Gird called attention to the fact that tbe northern growers purpoae to make the coming fair their last, and will use the entire appropriation of $5000 for premiums in tbe present fair, lie thought that Southern California could also obtain all of its appropria tion for tbe preaent citrus fair. MR. YOUNG WAYS NO ! Mr. Young did not favor using np all of the appropriation this year. It would be better, be thought, to hold the fair in San Francieco this year and use (2500 and bold another one later on, using up tbe balance of the fund. Mr. Gird agreed with Mr. Young obout using all of the money, and in reply to a question aaid tbat the north ern people would contribute all of their $5000 even if Southern California used but ball ol hers. ItEUIKTKRED A KICK. Alter come general diaensaion the chair stated tbat representatives of tbe Merchants' association were present and desired to address the meeting in regard to tbe proposed removal of tbe citrus fair. The fallowing gentlemen composed the delegation : Major Fur rey. H. Jevne, J. T. Sheward, H. Siegel, C. Jacoby, C. H. Hance, Meaara. Blew ett and Bien. MR. BIIEWARD TALKS. Mr. J. Sheward was introduced, and spoke against the removal of tbe lair from Los Angeles. He declared it to be simply not holding tbe fair outside of Los Angeles. Tbey were tired ol being sidetracked, and tbe mercantile inter ests of the city were certainly aB im portant as the agricultural. He did not see why this city should bave to deprive itself to build up San Francisco. Tbe Merchants' association was veiling to meet the midwinter fait people half way, and they would be satisfied if tbey were given one-half of the money appropri ated by tbe supervisors, so as to bold tbeir fair in Loa Angelea during tbe winter. If necessary tbey would also guarantee a $15,000 bond, and if neces sary raise $1500 more to make it a suc cess. T He bad read the Hat of tbe various committees appointed the day previous to attend to the midwinter fair work, and he had not seen tbe name of a sin gle merchant among them. In fact, the merchants had been ignored. ALL WANTED 'FRISCO. Mr, Gird replied that he had recently writtep to all of the leading growers of the section asking (or their opinions in regard to the best place for holding the fair. They were unanimously in favor of going to San Francisco this winter. In view of tbe fact that the people who made the displays did not want the fair in Los Angeles, tbe action of the Mer chants' association was certainly a little selfish. Mr. Sheward replied that he was not In the least discouraged. If the people knew there was to he a fair here, there would be plenty of exhibits. Mr. McKoon said that be had always found it easier to take his box of or anges to the people to look upon than to bring tbe crowds to the oranges. They should go where the crowds were. That was tbe best way to advertise them selves and the crowds wonld certainly be at San Francieco. Mr. Sheward insisted that whatever else might be done tbey proposed to hold a fair in this city. The money ap propriated should not be sent out of this section and put into tbe pockets of San Francisco. NEW LIOHT ON TUB SUBJECT. Mr. Ingraham called Mr. Sheward's attention to the fact that tbe money was appropriated for premiums which would be awarded to tbe exhibitors. The south ern section expected to geta part of the premiums, in fact a lot of tbem and brinu them back to witb them Tbe mer chants here would certainly be indi rectly benefited. When they had first mentioned the fair the merchants had done nothing, and now that it had been gotten under way bo well it was a little LOS ANGELES HERALD. WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER B, im. late for them to begin to protest and object. Col. C. H. Hance atated that while the merchants hadthe best intereats of the eection at heart and were willing to do everything to tho advantage of the aection they thought that if tbey could get even a small part of tbe fund appro priated by the board ol supervisors they would have an attractive fair here thia winter. It waa not tbeir deaire to op pose the midwinter fair, however. MR. HI. AI son TAKES A HAND. A short discussion followed, when Mr. Slauson arose and aaid to the com mittee of mercnanta: "If you gentlemen have the intereats of tbe connty at heart, you are with ua, II yon bave selfish interests, you are not with üb. I bave to learn," he con tinued, "of the first pnblic move the Merchants' association have made. It is organized for your own protection and interests." He waa interrupted by being told that tbe organization waa but 30 daya old. Mr. Slauaon added tbat he had nothing to aay againat ita members personally. He then told of how tbe money bad been obtained from tbe supervisors, and It had been opposed by tbe Merchants' association. Who, even after the money bad been received, followed up tbeir previous move by going to the super visors and prevailing npon them to withdraw their deciscion. Mr. Slauson added further that, unless he had been misinformed, be wae told that the association waa opposed to the midwinter fair. The various members of the associa tion preaent denied this statement; but Mr. Slauaon, turning to Major Furrey, who bad just entered the ball, de manded if he had not said, "He would bave nothing to do witb the midwinter fair and was not in favor of it." Did yon not, Mr. Furrey ? "Yea, air; I did, personally." Mr. Sheward still said tbat they were willing to'let the people take tbe half of the money, so long as the Merchant's aaaociation got tbe other half. OIL ON THE TROUBLED SEAB. Judge Silent prevailed upon Mr. Slauaon to reaign tbe floor and spoke at some length upon the proposition of holding the two fairs, one in San Fran cisco and the other in Loa Angelea. There was, he thought, a popular de mand that one should also be held here, and Loa Angeles was certainly-patriotic enough to raise a sufficient purse to bold a fair in tbis city, too. He stated that Mr. Sheward was mistaken when he had aaid that tbe merchanta had been ignored by those in charge of the midwinter project in the city. Tbe committee bad visited every one at the start, and if they had not called oftene'r upon the merchants it was because tbey were occupied with the various duties of business. They had also interviewed various organizations throughout tbe city, and had tbey known of tbe associ ation they would surely have commu nicated witb them. Tbe intereate of the Los Angelea mer chanta bad been aa carefully looked alter as any others, declared Mr. Newberry. Tbe committee had given great thought to the subject and it was through the transportation committee that the crowds who were to bring tbeir wares would be brought to the city. THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Mr. Lankershim then explained the position of the chamber of commerce in regard to tbe removal of the citrua fair to San Francisco. He said that at firßt they had been in favor of holding the citrua fair in Southern California, but at tbe recent meetings tbey bad found out that they could not influence the growers to re main here, so it was. decided to. try to get tbe legislature to compel the people to hold it in Soutbern California in the future. ' The Merchanta' association should not think that tbe chamber had caused tbe removal of tbe citrus fair to San Francisco. Mr. Sheward said tbat they were lib eral minded men and tbat tbey wanted one-halt of tbe money to belp tbeir fair along, and tben tbey would be perfectly willing to go in beart and eoul and work for tbe success of tbe midwinter fair too. Major Furrey, tbe president of tbe association, stated tbat it was not op posed to tbe midwinter fair, but be did not see why Lob Angeles people should spend money to help build np San Francisco. a mo SUCCESS. Mr. Wendell Easton, chairman of the financial executive committee of the midwinter fair, was introduced and briefly addressed the meeting upon the beneritß Southern California will receive from tbe fair. He stated that tbe present trouble in tbis city was similar to what bad been experienced in San Francisco. The masses had been in favor of the fair, while tbe merchants were dead against it. Instances were given, however, wbere these firms came around all right and joined in supporting tbe project. Tbe fair is going to be a success, and Soutbern California wants to get in with it. He referred to the notable lack of hotel accommodations in this city. Every place in the entire country he de clared would be rilled to overflowing witb people for six months. It iB not a question of whether you are going to get your share of the business, but bow you are going to handle it when it comes here. If they wanted to support the two fairs, all right, but try the one here all of the sis months. "lIAliltY" JUMTS IN TOO. Mr. H. T. Hazard suggested that a vole be taken npon whether or not the citrus fair be held in San Francisco. Tbe chair ruled tbat thia was hardly within tbe office of tbe meeting. Mr. Gird added that he had called the meeting for the purpose of hearing the people express their views npon the matter, and tbat he was tally satisfied. STRAIGHTENING IT OUT. Mr. Siegel said that there was a mis understanding between the association and the midwinter fair people. What the former wanted was a sort of floral fair similar to the Santa Barbara dis play. If the citrus growers refused to exhibit, they could hardly expect to have that kind of a sbow. Mr. Hardison asked Mr. Siegel if in Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair. D" PRICE'S The only Pure Cream of Tartar PowJer.—No Ammonia; No Alum, Used in Millions of Homes— 40 Years the Standard, view oi such an intention on tbe part of the growers, would be not then with draw tbe objection of the merchanta' aa aociation to the citrua fair being held in San Franciaco. After aome hesitation Mr. Siegel re plied that he wonld withdraw hia per sonal objection. A abort diecuaaion took place, alter which the meeting adjonrned. THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION. Mr. Slauson again aaanmed the chair, and Mr. Forman introduced tbe anbject of tbe allotment of apace to tbe varioua conntiea in the Southern California building. It waa finally decided that the representatives were to meet witb Mr. Wiggins in the evening and report to the meeting today. The Los Angelea county's association report on general exhibits wae adopted as published yeaterday, with the excep tion tbat floriculture waa atricken from the list. Mr. Forman reported that tbe railroad companies had granted 30 daya' time in stead of 15 daya on all linea in Cali fornia. Mr. Gird naked if the Southern Cal ifornia aasociation would take the man agement of the citrua fair in San Fran ciaco. Alter come discussion the matter waa finally eettled by tbe following res olution being adopted: Tbat tbe organ ization ia willing to accept the manage ment of tbe citrus fair if it is offered to tbem by the board. The aecretary read a partial eatimate of tbe expenees of conducting the fair for seven months, it being approximate ly about $12,000. The meeting then adjonrned. HUTCHINSON'S DEFICIT. STREET SUPERINTENDENT WAT SON MAKES A STATEMENT. The Present Superintendent Bays He Never Received from Hia Prede cessor the Sum Claimed. Some Plain Talk. By tbe proceedings of the city council oi Monday last I ccc that Mr. Hutchin son, my predecessor, has submitted his report to the investigating committee of said city council in relation to the re ported shortage in his accounts. In aaid report the aum of $878.40 ie said to have been left in tbe safe at the time I as sumed charge of the office of atreet auuperintendent. Now if such waa the case Mr. Hutch inson must held my receipt for said amount. I want to state to the public that Mr. Hntchinaon exacted a receipt from me for all city property and money in hia possession and turned over by him to me at that time. I wish further to Btate that I did not receive nor receipt for any auch aum, and do not intend to be made a party to any auch reputed shortage. It ia true tbat my former deputy, A. I. Stewart, haa defaulted, and iB now a prisoner awaiting trial, and bas abused the trust and confidence of bis friends as well as my own. The money that he embezzled has been made good by me, and tbe city has lost noth ing thereby. And now it is attempted to throw tbe blame on hie shoulders for thie shortage. I do not believe in hitting a man when he is down, and Stewart, although a criminal, ahonld be entitled to fair play. So I leave it to the public to judge who is responsible for this shortage, with the aasurance from me that when the proper time cornea I wiil be ready to chow to tbeir eatiafaction aa well aa the council tbat aaid $878.40 waa never turned over to me. THEY DID NOT MEET. The Police Commissioners Fall to Se cure a Quorum. The police commissioners did not suc ceed in getting a quorum yeaterday morning and tbe meeting wen) over until next week. Mayor Rowan and Mr. Weldon were tbe only commiasioners preaent. Tbe new commissioner, George Arnold, failed to put in an appearance, and neither Mr. Bosbyshell nor Mr. Bradieh could be present. Chief Glass reported that beyond some minor matters there was nothing of special moment to be acted upon by the commission. There is a good deal of curioeity on tbe part of thoae interested in tbe police department to know what position Mr. Arnold will take on the varions ques tions that are nuzzling tbe commis sioners. So far there have been no intimations as to bis views, but it is said that he is liberal in his ideas and stalwart in his Republicanism. RICHARDS'S EXAMINATION. He Ia Charged With Having- Robbed Hauler's Store. The case against S. P. Richards, on a charge of robbing a grocer on tbe cor ner of Main and Fifteenth streets last October, came up yesterday in Justice Austin's court for preliminary examina tion. * At the time of the robbery Officer Lennon was shot. There waß little or no cine to the perpetrators of the crime, but through the clever work of the de tective force, especially Detective Marsh and Benson, the deed was laid at the door of Richards and another man. At the examination yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Hamer, who conduct the store where the robbery took place, testified that the recognized Richards as being a man about the size of tbe largest of tbe robbere. A youn;; man named Early testified to haviug seen Richards in the vicinity of tbe store the evening of the robbery. The case was continued nntil today. Riverside Stands lv. Tbe folio wins; telegram waa received at tbe chamber of commerce yesterday: , Riveekidk, Dec. 5, 1893. Supervisors paseei resolutions to be come members of your chamber of com merce today. Frank A. Milton. ALL WENT UP IN SMOKE. A Three-Story Tenement House Bnrned. A Fire Which Caused Considerable Excitement Yesterday. Eighth Street and Myrtle Avenue thu Scene of a Noonday Blaze. Particular* of tho Con flagration. A three-story tenement house belong ing to Mrs. F. M. Peck, at 700 Myrtle avenue, near Eighth etreet, was burned to the ground aL12:30 o'clock yesterday. A small house adjoining, occupied by a colored family, was also destroyed and others badly damaged. The alarm was rung in from box 43 and the department responded promptly but too late to cave tbe large building. Being a frame structure it burned like kindling wood. Tbe flames started in tbe south end of the large building and burned so rapidly tbat scarcely anything wae saved. His not known in which room the tire origi nated or from what cause, ac the two eye-witnesses make contradictory state ments. A man named Ignacio Uromes says tbe statement of Samuel Miller that the fire started in his (Groraeb') room was false. From what could be learned it was caused by a gasoline or coal oil stove in the room occupied by cither Miller or (ironies. The loss on the Peck building, ac given by Mr. Peck, amounts to about $15,000, while the damage to all the other buildings com bined will not reach that amount. There waß little or no insurance. The department did good work in saving the adjoining buildings, but the fire bad gained too strong headway on a near-by house owned by two families named Davidson and Mclntyre. Most of the household effects were lost in each instance. The large barn belonging to Mr. Lan kershim caught fire, with but slight loss. Some hay of Bickford'e market was consumed. The best houses along Myrtle avenue escaped, owing to the direction of the wind and the prompt measures of tbe department. A two-storey dwelling be longing to I. Lewis, a colored man, Officer Rich's house and William /.inns' reaidence were damaged, though not to any great extent. During the fire a trunk was accidently dropped upon a young colored woman named Mrs. Eugene Walker. She fell unconscious and it was feared tbat the injury was very dangerous. POLICE COURT CASES. Petty Offenders to Whom Justice Was Dealt Yesterday. James F. Fife took the privilege of discharging Are arms in the city limits and waa fined flO yesterday by Judge Austin. James Munro was given 15 days for having nothing to do and asking other people for something to eat. John Olaen and Joseph Adams were arraigned on a charge of stealing a pair of rubber boots, and the cases went over until today. The case of Joseph Schaaf, arrested by Mrs. Ollie Long on a charge of failure to provide for hie two children, will be beard next Saturday. A. Bosman, the friend of an Alameda street cyprian whom he was accused of shooting at, was discharged. J. F. Butier was charged witb having committed battery upon his wife. He will be tried Friday. William Faust waa lined $15 for bat tery. Thirty dollars allowed for old Davis sewing machines. Drop postal card to 228 South Main street. Dr. D. 8. Dlßenbaoher, Dentist. No. 8.
