THOSE AUSTRALIAN PARASITES,
Quarantine Officer Crow Find
Them Doing Well.
The Result of An Examination Mad
By Bug Experts.
The Orcus Chalybeus Established In Thl
County—Tho Steel-Blue Ladybirds
Doing Well—Other Bugs Mak
ing Good Progress.
Alexander Craw, the horticultural
•quarantine officer, has prepared the fol
lowing report to Secretary Lelong, of
the state board of horticulture, on the
new Australian parasites brought here
by Mr. Albert Koebele:
In accordance with letter of instruc
tions of August 20th, to proceed together
with Mr. Albert Koebele, to Los Angeles,
San Gabriel, Orange and Santa Barbara,
and make an inspection and report upon
the condition of the beneficial insects
that fiave been placed there, and which
were sent over by Mr. Koebele from
Australia during his recent mission to
tins country, having completed said ex
amination, I beg to herewith submit the
following report:
On August 31st, Mr. Albert Koebele
and myself visited the oranp>e orchard of
Albert F. Kercheval, at Los Angeles,
where the iiret colonies of ladybirds
from Australia were placed, and which
arrived last winter and spring. Beside
us there were present John Scott, horti
cultural commissioner of Los Angeles
county, D. W. Coquillett, special agent
of the department of agriculture, Henry
W, Kruckeberg, editor Rural Califor
nian, J. R. Dobbins, A. Scott Chapman,
of San Gabriel, and otbe%s.
We made a very careful examination
of this place and found beetles' eggs,
larviv and pupa? of the steel-blue lady
bird, orcuB cbalybeus. The first ship
ments of insects were received In very
feeble condition, and having, as Dr.
Koebele stated, hibernated in Australia
and probably deposited their eggs be
fore he captured them, the result of
these first consignments was not v%ry
encouraging. However, later importa
tions were received in good condition,
and upon our visit we found sufficient of
their eggs and pupa? to justify the as
sertion that ibis species has become es
tablished at Los Angeles.
Mr. Koebele says that this is the in
ject that keeps the red scale (aspediotus
aurantii) in check in the orange groves
in Australia, notwithstanding that a
parasite preys on these ladybirds there,
which destroys fully 50 per cent of their
first brood and about 90 per cent of the
second brood. Great care was taken not
to introduce this parasite, which '.a such
a deadly enemy to them. When Mr.
Koebele discovered that the young of
these lady bugs were preyed upon by a
parasite, he sent only mature beetles to
California; thus it may be safely said,
that it will only be a matter of time
when we shall reasonably hope for the
rapid increase of these valuable insects,
and even better results from them than
are obtained in Australia.
In another orchard at Los Angeles
where a colony had been placed, we
found but few beetles and larvae, but
enough to show that at this place also
they had become established. The trees
at this place were large aud had been
pruned high, so were somewhat difficult
to examine.
On September 1st, Mr. John Scott,
Mr. Hiram Hamilton, horticultural
commissioners of 1 ob Angeles and
Orange counties, respectively, and my
self, examined the orchard where a col
ony of the steel-blue ladybirds you sent
Mr. Hamilton had been placed. We
found these doing well, and there were
plenty of beetles and eggs from which
small larva-, were hatching, and were
at work uopu the red scale. These lady
birds had only been out on the tree 16
days, and as they are breeding there
successfully, it is conclusive proof that
the earlier importations had already de
posited their eggs before they arrived.
On September 2J, Mr. John Scott,
Col. J. R. Dobbins of San Gabriel, Mr.
Koebele and myself inspected the Dob
bins orchard at San Gabriel, where one
of the ti rut. colonies of these insects was
placed. Of these we failed to find any
trace, which was due to their bad con
dition upon arrival. The box contain
ing the dead insects was produced,
which established this fact. A later
importation which you sent Mr. Chap
man, sixteen days before our visit, ar
rived in good condition, but we did not
find any on the trees upon which they
were placed ; they no doubt will make
their appearance in other portions of
the orchard later on.
On September 3rd, Mr. Koebele and
mysely visited Hon. Ellwood Cooper's
orchard at Santa Barbara. It was at
this place that several species were lib
erated in the open orchard immediately
upon arrival. We found four species
that have become well established, viz.:
Orcue chalybeus, orcus Australasia.
Rbizobius ventralis and a email •
scymnodes. Of all these we found
beetles, eggs, larva and pupce. The
trees upon which they were placed are
infested with black scale, and they are
feeding upon it. Mr. Cooper placed
these insects in an orchard where he
considered the conditions as to tempera
ture and protection from the prevailing
winds, favorable for their colonization.
On September 9th I visited the or
chard at Haywarde, Alameda county,
where Mr. Koebele had himself placed
several species. I found beetles of the
orcus Australasia and rbizobius ventra
lis, apparently doing well. At this
place a muslin tent was placed over a
lemon tree, where the thalpocares coc
cophagrre, an enemy to tbe black scale,
is being bred.
I placed a small colony of orcus Aus
tralasia and rhizobiuB ventralis upon
trees infested with pernicious scale, in
Alameda, and upon examination, two
days ago, we found beetles, larvae and
pupae. The larvae have fed upon the
scale and passed through their moults
into well developed pupa;, proving con
clusively that they will prey upon this
scale.
The new Australian ladybird, novius
Koebelei, of which only three live in
sects were received last April, and
which were bred in the office, have mul
tiplied very rapidly, and from these
many thousands have been distributed.
The successful colonization of this lady
bird has fully sustained Mr. Koebelo in
the statement that they are even better"
than the vedalia cardinalis for keeping
the cottony cushion scale in check. The
colony of 50 which you gave Mr. John
Scott, at Los Angeles, has done well,
and from it he has distributed several
thousand, and is well pleased with its
work.
From the foregoing it will be seen that
five new species of beneficial insects
have been successfully introduced and
become established in the state, and
while we cannot expect much benefit
from them this year, as time is required
LOS ANGELES HERALD: FEIDAY MOUSING, SEPTEMBER IC, 1882.
for those introduced to breed, I am con
fldent that next spring and summe
they will be abundant, and colonies can
then be furnished to growers throughou
the state.
The unprecedented success of the
vedalia has caused fruit growers and
others to expect immediate and similar
results from all of the new insects, bu
as the chalybeus and Australasia have
only three generations, the increase wil
be slower, but I feel satisfied that the
final result will be equally as satisfactory
as the vedalia. For the present, orcb
ardists having trees infested with rec
scale should not neglect spraying or
fumigating this fall, so that their fruit
will be clean and merchantable and the
trees saved for the present from the per
nicious effects of the pest.
Mr. Koebeie has reviewed this report
and concurs in the same.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Its Labors In Behalf of the Approach
ing; Fair.
"How's this for a bombshell?" asked
Secretary Willard of a Herald reporter,
yesterday, at the chamber of commerce.
"It's a monster," replied the pencil
pusher, as he paused to contemplate the
proportions of an enormous watermelon;
and who is the grower? "Mr. W. D.
Corwin "of Messina," replied the secre
tary. "It weighs 121 pounds, and
Mr. Corwin assures me that he has two
duplicates of it for the world'B fair. Our
world's fair contributions are now com
ing in daily, and from all quarters."
The articles received yesterday were as
follows:

THE RAILROADS.
riie Stntii Fe'a Enterprise About the
• San Diego Celebration.
The celebration of the anniversary of
the discovery of San Diego bay by Ca
brillo, which will take place September
28th and 29tb, promises to be a great
success. The Santa Fe company, appre
ciating the influence of such a celebra
tion to Southern California generally, in
drawing attention to this portion of the
Pacific coast, have made a rate of one
fare for the round trip irom points as far
east as Albuquerque, and from all points
3n their lines in California. From the
latter points tickets will be good going,
from September 24th to October 2d, in
clusive, and returning up to and includ
ing October 3d.
New Mexico and Arizona will, in the
near future, depend on Southern Cali
fornia as their natural trade center, and
anything tending to direct their atten
tion toward this part of the world is to
be welcomed. The Santa Fe is to be com
mended for the encouragement always
afforded by them to any enterprise in
which the people of Southern California
are interested.
NOTES.
Chief Clerk F. B. Henderson of Gen
eral Manager Wadea' office, is at Cata

quarter of a pound in weight and is
getting in good trim for standing off
cranks and pass, fiends.
The pugilistic fad is extending among
railroad men. The telegraph operator
in the Santa Fe's general office and the

Mr. Campbell will be heard from soon
regarding the Salt Lake road.
A SICKNESS BREEDER. •
A Defective Manhole to the Sewer was
the Cause.
For some time past a bad smell has
been noticeable in the vicinity of Sixth
and Hope streets, and, fearing an attack
of typhoid first and cholera afterwards,
a citizen went before the health officer
and made a complaint of the premises.
'An inquiry resulted in finding a de
fective manhole in the sewer, to which
the attention of the street superintend
ent has been called. It will not be long
before the matter will be rectified by
the proper authorities. The only won
der is that there have not already been
some fatal cases of illness growing out
of it.

t
9 Matters of Interest Gathered in the
, Various Courts Yesterday.

j Several Decisions Received From the
Supreme Court—Lacey Wants Large
I Damages—Swindlers Convicted.
> *• New Cases—Notes.
Supreme Court Clerk Ashmore re
' ceived an opinion by tha eupreme court,
yeeterday, affirming the judgment in the
caee of Mcßean ye. the city of San Ber
nardino. TLe caee was an action
brought for the purpoee of recovering
from the city the sum of $4221 19, claimed
to be due from it on account of the con
struction of a eewer along tbe center line
of First street, in San Bernardino, be
tween C and I streets, and between these
terminal points. A demurrer to the
complaint waa sustained, and judgment
was given for the defendant.
One-half of the sewer, ac constructed,
was outside of the city limits. It was
conetructed under a contract awarded by
the city board of trustees, and the con
tract contained the clause required by
the act regulating such contracts, to the
effect "that in no case, except wnere it
is otherwise provided in this act, will
the city, or any officer thereof, be liable
for any portion of the expense, nor for
any delinquency of persons or property
assessed."
The complaint alleged that the city
was liable for the balance of the cost of
constructing the sewer, $4221.91, and
that the board of trustees passed a reso
lution agreeing to pay that amount.
Tbe court holds that the facts do not
show any liability of the defendant
upon the original contract for the con
struction of the aewer. It was expressly
provided in the contract that tbe city
should not be liable. As to the effect
of the resolution of the trustees, the
court says that it wae passed after the
contract waa fully performed, and did
not have the effect of creating a binding
objection where none existed before.
If it had been executed, it would have
been a purely voluntary payment by the
city. The court concludes by laying
that tbe contract under which the as
signor of tbe plaintiff constructed the
sewer, contemplated no liability by the
city, but that the work should be paid
for by an aeeessment upon adjacent
property, and it cannot belaid that the
city was under any moral obligation to
pay for that for which not only the law,
but tbe contract, expresaly provided it
should not be responsible.
An opinion was received reversing
the judgment in the caee of Mcßean vs.
Martin. It was an action brought to
forcloae an alleged lien upon a lot be
longing to the defendant, upon an as
sessment for tbe construction of a sewer '
along G street in San Bernardino.
Judgment was given in favor of the
plaintiff, and defendant appealed. The
court holds tbat tbe complaint failed to 1
show a proper demand for the payment
of tbe aseessment within thirty days
after the date of the warrant, and such
a demand, was necessary in order to
preserve the lien of the assessment.
Tbe failure of tbe plaintiff to show a
strict compliance with the essential re
quirement was fatal to the judgment.
An opinion was aleo received affirming
the judgment in the case of Mcßean ye.
Redick, et al. It was also an action to 1
recover upon an assessment for the con
struction of a sewer upon one oi the I
streets of San Bernardino, and the fore
closure of the alleged lien upon a lot 1
owned by the defendant. The superior :
court rendered judgment for the defend
' ants, and the plaintiff appealed. There >
was no bill of exceptions in the record,
and tbe only question was whether the
findings support the judgment.
Tbe foundation of tbe plaintiff's right 1
to maintain the action, rested upon a j
resolution of intention passed by the ,
board of city truateea to do the work for
which the assessment was made. The
resolution of intention to construct a <
eewer along a part of Third street in San 1
Bernardino, wae duly passed. The court
finds that subsequently and without <
further resolution or notice to the prop- 1
erty owners, an advertisement calling 1
for bids was made; but it called for tbe I
sewering of the street between I and C I
streets, which was a whole block lees :
than specified by the resolution of in
tention. Tbe court holds tbat upon
these facts the contract for tbe construc
tion of the sewer was void, and the work
done thereunder, and subsequent assess
ment and proceedings created no lien
upon tbe defendant's property.
LACEY WANTS $10,000.
A Suit Resulting From the San Fernando t
Land Excitement. 1
Late yesterday afternoon the trial waa
begun before Judge Wade, in depart- j
ment number three of the superior t
court, of the $10,000 damage suit of f
Lacey vs. George K. Porter, of this city. 5
It will be remembered that quite an c
exciting episode occurred in the fall of ,
last year in the San Fernando valley, J
when an attempt was made to organize f
a colony of land-seekers to contest the
claims of large land-owners in the San (
Fernando valley, by virtue of alleged c
errors discovered in the old Spaniab
grants. Quite a number of persons ,
went up to the valley, and the move- 2
ment assumed at first large proportions,
but finally died away. ' f
It was about the middle of October t
that George K. Porter, manager of the
Porter Land and Water company, swore
to a complaint at San Fernando before
Justice T. B.Reed, against Lacey, charg- •
ing him with threatening to enter upon
and take possession by force and viol
once of lands of the company. Lacey '
was arrested and put in jail, where he '
remained imprisoned for 17 hours. He 1
was brought to trial December 11th, and
was acquitted. Later be brought the I
suit for damages. 1
The defendant ia represented by S. M.
White and Graves, O'Melveny & |
Shankland; while the plaintiff is repre- 1
sented by W. L Foley and J. M. Dam- <
ron. Tbe empaneling of a jury occu
pied an hour, and there was quite a tilt
between Mr, White and Damron before i
the taking of testimony began. Mr. |
White expressed the opinion that the ,
complaint did not show whether the t
case was for malicious prosecution or '■
false imprisonment, and tried to pin the ,
other eido down to a straight-forward <
statement on tbat point. There were 1
some evasive rejoinders by Mr. Damron, j
and Mr. White curtiy told him that he
either ought to fish or cut bait. To
this Damron replied tbat he had no
desire to evade fishing, and proceeded ;
to ask the court to allow him to i
amend his complaint by inserting [
the words "and imprisonment" after
tbe statement that the plaintiff bad
beeen injured by the \. 8 " est \. A " h f e 4 d u e "

SWINDLERS CONVICTED.
The Horton and Hays Hay Trade Dld'nf ,
Pan Out Propitiously.
Gurdine Horton and Frank Hays
were convicted of petty larceny by a
jury in Justice Austin'a court. They
met a man named Gevaudan, who had
a load of bay for sale, and by promising
to pay him $8 75 a ton for it at their
wood and feed corral, at the corner of
Seventh and Pearl streete, got him to
deliver tne same to Mr. Buddinger, pro
prietor of the Panorama stable. Horton
and Hays bad previously made arrange
ments with Buddinger to deliver 40 tone
of hay to him, at $8 per ton. As soon
as the two swindlers had received the
money at the Panorama, they com
menced a game of hide and seek with
their victim, which terminated only
when he caught one of them in a buggy
and threatened to call the police. This
was Hays who loet no time in making
himeelf ecarce. Later he went to the
chief of police aud charged Gevaudan
with stealing his buggy and borae.
Chief Glase promptly placed Hay a un
der arrest, and that of Gurdine Horton
followed a little lifter. The dishonesty
of the two prieoners was well estab
lished by Prosecuting Attorney Diehl,
and, as a result, they were convicted at
the first ballot of the jury. Justice
Owens will sentence the two men today.

Mrs. Kelly Wants Damages.
1 esterday Mrs. Bridget Kelly, through
her attorney, J. Marion Brooks, filed a
complaint againt the Sunset Telephone
and Telegraph ofmpany, alleging dam
ages against the defendant in the sum !
of $25,000.
It seems, by the complaint, that Mra.
Kelly, on the 25th of Auguat laat was
crossing Fourth street, on Spring atreet.
While crossing, she fell into the ditch
that had been dug to receive the under
ground wires of the company ;' that no
proper guards were placed by the com
pany to protect the ditch, but that it
wae open, and by the negligence of the
company the plaintiff fell in the same,
and was seriously injured, and has been
confined to her bed ever since. Mre.
Kelly ie now at the county Hospital,
and her friends despair of her recovery.
Bhe is certainly badly hurt. The com
pany, since the accident, has fenced all
parts of its ditches, and extraordinary
care is being taken to guard against ac
cident. Thia caae will present some
novel pointa of law, as it seems the
Telephone company was insured by an
accident insurance company against any
and all damages arising by reason of the
digging of ditches in the streets of this
city.
The Redondo Railroad Wins.
The $25,000 damage suit brought
against the Redondo Railroad company
by W. P. Howland, came to a sudden
termination yeaterday in Judge Van
Dyke's court. This was the case where
the plaintiff claimed hia property on
Vermont avenue had been greatly dam
aged by the building of tbe railroad
along that street. He has 1350 feet
front on that avenue and claimed tbat
the highway haa been practically de
atroyed for driving purposes. After the
introduction of plaintiff's testimony, the
jury was excused while questions of law
were argued. C. C. Stephens interposed
a motion for a non-suit, claiming that
no especial damage had been proved.
After lengthy arguments on both tides,
Judge Van Dyke granted tbe motion.
They Were Damaged.
The caee of Eachua ye. the Coneoli
dated Electric Railway company for
$4000 damages alleged to have been the
reeult of the company's cut in front of (
the plaintiff's property, near the corner
of Firat and Figueroa streets, wae re
eumed yesterday morning before Judge 1
Wade. The testimony was finished by
the noon recess and the case was given
to the jury by 3 o'clock. They delib- I
crated until 5 o'clock when they re
turned to the court room with a verdict
for tbe plaintiff, assessing tbe damages
at $823. * 1
A
Court Notes.
Yesterday, in the United
trict court, a nolle prosequi was entered
by the United States district attorney
in the perjuryjcases against H. C. Beck
ley and George W. Beckley, and the de
fendants were discharged. The dis
missal wae caused by tbe inability of
the government to procure material "wit
nesses who reside in Mexico.
Judge Van Dyke yesteiday set aside
the default in the case of the Southern
Pacific company vs. Townsend, allowed
the plaintiff fifteen days to file an
amended complaint, and made the Big
Rock Creek Irrigation district, assignee
of the defendant, a party to the suit.
Judge Shaw yesterday appointed J, T.
Newkirk assignee in the insolvency case
of W. W. and E. Patterson, fixing the
assignee's bond at $100.
Yesterday Judge Shaw granted a final
discharge in tbe insolvency proceedings
of A. J. Gwynne.
Bartholomew Aberle, a native of Ger
many, was yesterday admitted to citi
zenship by Judge Clark.
