occurred recently at Baltimore soon af
ter his initiation 'into a Greek letter fra

the affair from. & student. The latter de

was met by twenty-five men. He was
told to undress and after doing so wa3
Blindfolded and taken into a room, where
he was laid upon a cake of ice. He was
then carried upstairs to the balcony and
thrown over the rail— a drop of twenty
five feet. On the floor beneath stood a
number of students holding a sheet.
"When Loew fell Into this." said th«
doctor, "he was tossed up and down un
til he was unconscious. After being re
vived he was beaten until his body was a
mass of bruises.
"That night he was in such a wretched
condition that his roommate stayed up
all night with him. Whisky and quinine
were- given him. during the night, and In
the morning he felt relieved.
"The following Saturday he took th«
second degree. In the morning he was
found dead and his chum, who bad just

It was left to the manager to take up
th# matter of having a turnstile in the
exhibition hall of the board to count the
visitors who go there to see the county
products. There were 10,000 visitors to the
hall in October, so Manager Briggs re
ported. Fifty thousand copies of a pam
phlet telling about the climate of all parts
of California, it "was voted, shall be sent
to the fat stock show at Chicago.
On motion of John P. Irish, it was voted
to request Secretary Cortelyou to have
space for a display of California's pro
ducts in the building that will be erected
for the Department of 'Commerce at
Washington.
Resolutions were adopted in memory of
N. W. Spauldinsr, who was a member of
the board at the time of his death.
The board attended to several other
matters. A communication from the Cali
fornia Promotion Committee asking the
board to appoint a member of the ad
visory committee of the Promotion Com
mittee was placed on file and the man
ager was Instructed to write to the man
ager of the committee and say that the
board will extend its aid, as it has to
all-organizations that work for the good
of the State. It was decided to have
the publications of the board, together
with a descriptive sketch of the work of
the board, bound and sent to St. Louis
for exhibition at the exposition.
Concerning the proposition to hold a
citrus fair in this city during the pres
ent month it was decided, in view of the
expense to which the. counties are put
on account of the exhibits they are pre
paring for the St. Louis Exposition, tp
inform the citrus growers north of Te
hachapi that a citrus exhibition will be
made in the permanent display of county
products In the hall of the State Board
of Trade this year and that the annual
November citrus fair will be continued
hereafter.

than the people who are handling it; if
that be true. - this 13 the best advertise

have to do is to grow the fruit and some

If this is the condition of the fruit indus

the world can't match. It ought to be
of great encouragement to us and we
ought to invite immigration on that fact
alone," (Laughter.)
"And leave th© facts out "of it." Mr.
Wooster facetiously remarked. "The nec
essary thing for us to do is to get the
facts and give them greater publicity.
We know the wrong that is being done.
If we can get at the bottom of it we
should do. so. I move that a report of
progress made be placed on file and that
the committee be empowered to pursue
the inquiry."
The motion was seconded by Commis
sioner Irish and adopted.

THE California State Board of
Trade made some- progress yester
day in the matter of Inaugurating
the Investigation concerning the
returns California fruit-growers
receive for fruits sold in the Eastern and
San Francisco markets. A report was
submitted by General Manager Briggs in
accordance with the instructions of the
board. He estimated that the facts relat
ing to marketing In San Francisco could
be ascertained by a competent man in
thirty days at a cost, of about $150. Re
garding the Eastern markets, he found
that an Investigation could be made there,
during the fruit .shipping season, in not
more than sixty days, which time would
enable the investigator to Inquire into the
methods pursued in each of the several
centers where California fruit is disposed
of at auction. Th" cost for the Eastern
Investigation not estimated. A man
competent to undertake the task would
be worth $200 a month, cr could earn that
much in any fruit house.
After tho report of Manager Briggs had
been received several members of the
Board of Trade spoke emphatically con
cerning the existing conditions. W. H.
Mills declared that the board should con
tinue to search . for the facts that will
benefit the fruit growers. John P. Irish
said that the first step was to secure the
information that would put the board on
the right track. C. M. Wooster epoke to
the same effect. Manager Briggs said
that the board could not afford to let
the investigation drop.
Some additional step may be taken at
the next meeting of the board. Some sur
prise was occasioned before the meeting
closed by a statement by Mr. Briggs that
he desired to retire from office. His rea
son was that he has large interests that
demand much of his time and he is com
pelled to attend to them. The board
thereupon authorized the appointment of
a committee of three to provide for the
appointment of a new manager. In the
meantime Mr. Briggs holds the office.
The work of getting facts concerning the
marketing of fruit will be taken up again
as eoon as a new manager is at work.
BRIGGS MAKES REPORT.
The entire matter was opened up yes
terday by the report submitted by
Manager Briggs. It began with the
resolution adopted at the Octo
ber meeting of» the board, in which the
manager was instructed "to report to the
board the practicability of Instituting a
general Inquiry Into the fruit markets,
foreign and domestic, with reference to
an ascertainment of all the facts relat
ing to such markets, and especially with
reference to the relation between the
amount returned from the reported sales
of fruit* and the actual amount obtained
from said pales, and further, to the end
that the price paid to the fruit grower
of this State shall more nearly correspond
to the price at which the fruit reaches
the consumer. The manager is requested
to report to the board at its next meet
ing the practicability and cost of such*in
quiry."
Manager Brlggs reported that he had
addressed a letter to all Boards of Trade,
Chambers of Commerce and other com
mercial organizations in the State and
had added an appeal for Information and
assistance in the work. In the appeal
that went out the following was in
cluded:
It has Ions been an established fact that
with eJl the EDlendld reputation of California
fruit in the Eastern market?, the readiness with
which it finds sale and the great wealth which
has been made by those handling it. the grower
has received proportionately but a poor return.
There Is certainly no lack of demand for the
SCENE IN THE ASSEMBLY-ROOM OF THE STATE BOARD OF TRADE YESTERDAY WHEN THE PLANS OF
, THAT ORGANIZATION IN THE MATTER OF LOOKING INTO' THE METHODS OF FRUIT HANDLERS AND
MARKETMEN WERE UNDER DISCUSSION. . , . ' ¦
.."The price of dried fruit In tho Eastern
market is fixed by the buyer," said Chair
man, Chlpman. '"The commission men arc
the men who buy our dried fruit here and
cell it inrthe East and fix their price "ar
bitrarily. They commence operating be
fore the fruit is ready for the market and
they fix. the rate without regard to what
they, can get for It in the East."..
"A large fruit grower said to me," said
Mr. Mills,. '.'that everything wjls all right
and .that, he had no complaint to make.
I asked ¦ him what voice he had in fixing
the ' price ' at which his fruit was carried
and f he * said "None whatever.' I asked
him what arrangements he had to make
about having his fruit properly refriger
ated" and- he said .'None.* I asked him
whether he had a voice in saying what
sort 'of 'a* box was used and he replied
'None whatever.' I asked him If he had
a voice in the price at which hla fruit
should be sold and he said 'None what
ever.' 'Even in the price returned to you,'
I ! asked, v and he said 'No, sir.'
/".'Then it Is a fact,' I said, 'you raise
the fruit and until you receive the money
for -it- you have no voice whatever?* and
he asserted that to be the fact. If this
be true,", said Mr. Mills sarcastically, "it
is the -greatest advertisement California
can : get. /When It Is known that; It is all
determined by one side— the handlers of
th© fruit; if It is true that the fruit is
well. marketed, it Is of Importance to the
world ' to . know that If we have people
here so honest that they save the grower
"When a grower says it is a good thing
for the Board of Trade to Investigate this
matter he contradicts himself." said Mr.
Mills. "Because If he is satisfied he would
say, 'I 'know all about the marketing of
my fruit. If I were a fruit grower I would
not put myself in antagonism with the
instrumentality for marketing my fruit.
I could be left out There would be plenty
of fruit without mine.' There is therefore
no disposition on the part of the fruit
growers to make themselves obnoxious.
They can't afford to do It. I never ex
pected any information from them. All
my resolution contemplated was to make
this investigation possible."
BOARD DISCUSSES FACTS.
nothing about It. There ought toV>e a fair*
profit to the shippers. They are active
and their profits are increased by the
activity they put forth. What Is the price
of raisins grown at Fresno? You will find
that they are being sold at 12% cents a
pound In San Francisco, and yet at Fres
no they are purchased at 6 cents. Does it
cost 6 cents per pound to distribute them
to the consumer? The system of distri
bution that grows raisins at 6 cents per
pound and sells them at 12^4 cents is not
profitable to the producer."
"You will find raisins exhibited for sale
in the Middle West from 4 cents up to 12%
cents per pound," said Manager Briggs.
"They use the cheaper raisin as a leader
and ' make their profit on the higher
grades. They claim that the poorer con
sumer will not take It unless they can
get It at the cost of other products. They
argue that if dried apples can be had at
4 cents a pound they are entitled to pay
the same price for raisins, and they will
not buy raisins at a higher price."
- "I think the proper thing to do is to find
out what the different in price is In the
Eastern markets," said Mr. Wooster.
"I think w e ought to do it," said Mr.
Sharp. "We sent a man to Hamburg to
Introduce our prunes. What ought to be
done Is. to go on with our investigation."
"We can't afford to let this matter
drop," said Mr. Briggs.. "The eyes of the
consumer and producer of the State are
upon us. I believe if we go at this in an
energetic and conscientious manner some
good will i come in the end."
"This -State of indifference." said'; Mr.
Mills,-"would indicate that the producers
of California .are not particular • about
those who wish to despoil them.; I have
no doubt but. that these wrongs exist;
that the producer • does not j get a proper
return, and that too much of the profit
is wasted '¦ between > the shipper 'and -.the
consumer; I -believe' that we. should by

land announced that the letter sent to
the Board of Trade of Oakland .was im
mediately acted "up. "I had twelve copies
made 'of the letter," said Mr. Stearns,
"and sent them . to the newspapers and
to various people and Invited them to're
ply, i I would like to learn- whethar any
replies were received?" ' ¦> .
With respect to a' more extended inquiry
such as Is involved In Investigating methods
and conditions in the large Eastern markets,
this, it seems to me. is not the proper time of
the year to actively enter on it. The true
methods employed for disposing of consign
ments of fruit at auction sales and the prac
tice which obtains could, it seems to me, be
best learned by coming In dally contact with
that | business. A man competent to-do that
work and who would do it as it should be done
could easily command- a salary of $200 per
month or more in any fruit house where his
cervices were employed. In other words that
branch of the Inquiry would cost a good sal
ary and all traveling and Incidental expenses
during the service, and a thorough canvass
nilBht take some months If carried into more
than one large distributing market. It is how
ever, possible that the situation in one 'would
be taken as representative of all the Eastern
markets. In which event possibly thirty at the
outside sixty, days would be all the time re
quired. ...
It has been suggested o\'er and over -again
that a remedy for the wrongs complained of in
the local > market might be found through a
corporation composed wholly of producers who
6<>ek San Francisco for disposition of their 1
fruits. Whether this Is practical or not it Is
for tho board to consider.
gether with his traveling and Incidental ex
penses. To do this work properly an experi
enced and tactful. man must be employed.
This one step accomplished. It would then re
main to be determined. If wrongs were found
to exist, what further steps were Justified. The
cost of canvassing the local or San Francisco
market would.be but. trifling as compared with
other branches of the work should It be under
taken. Probably thirty days' canvass of this
city by a competent man would disclose all
that is necessary to be learned here In order to
establish a fairly correct basis to work on.
Tills expenditure should not exceed $150. While
the opportunities in the present slack fruit
market are not .as good as they could be in the
height of the fruit season an Inquiry properly
conducted . even, now should not be barren . of.
results.
In reference" to the matter of getting tho
necessary information on which to base intelli
gent action, there seems now but one 'effective
way for accomplishing it. viz: to send an agent
or agents through -the fruit- shipping districts,
whose duty.lt U to work out and record facts
and conditions as they are. This would entail
considerable expense, viz: pay of the agent to-

the combinations. formed in this State for
regulating the sale of dried fruits— prunes
and raisins' particularly.- They were re

the California Fruit Agency had made a
marked success of handling citrus fruits.
The' citrus fruit growers would not there
fore be directly concerned in the investi
gation . proposed by.- the. State Board of
Trade at this time. . Mr. Brlggs said that
co-operation. is needed bri.the part of, the
fruit, growers to imake a' : success of the
work in hand. Regarding the'question of
co-operation -he said: _. "
Co-operation .on the . part of .fruit- growers
must, it seems to me, be a fundamental fea
ture if a remedy is nought for the wide dif
ference between the prices, consumers pay for
fruit end 'the prices grower, receive. Whether
the disparity In prices is the result of-Illegiti

CITRUS FRUIT GUARDED.
It Is claimed that under the cyeration of
the organization known a a the California Fruit
Distributors, of which Alden Anderson la
manager, there- Is small opportunity for the
practice of sharp methods by commission men
engaged in the fruit auction business. This
organization Is a stock company In which both
shippers ami producers are represented, • and
fruit growers either large or Emiill are not
excluded from the list ot stockholders. This
would seem to be a step toward co-operation
and in an effective and practical - way. I To
what extent growers have taken advantage of
this closer Identity with, the shipping and
handling of fruit I have not been informed
Extracts from letters received by the
manager were read. They contained no
definite information. Mr. Brlggs said that
he had learned from parties well Informed
in the Kreen fruit business that during
the last two seasons there has been much
less occasion for complaint concerning the
manner of handling fruit than there had
been formerly. Continuing, he said:
If this indicates Indifference I on the part
of growers little will be accomplished by con
tinuing this method of investigation. ¦ If It'
Is due to a fear that information xlven may
in some way work to their disadvantage in
the future with buyers or shippers of green
fruit 1 am not -now able to see what argument
can be used effectively with them.
With respect to commercial organizations I
am unable to understand why information
should be withheld it they have any to give.
It is b^st accounted for probably on the theory
that what is everybody's business is nobody's,
and by the further consideration that specific
Information is not readily obtainable by them.
With tbe interior press there may or may
not be weighty considerations which It could
be difficult for the. members of the board to
understand why if any general and previous
wrong exists In the manner of handling fruit,
and they have knowledge of it, the fact should
not be made known. •-
Up to date the responses had been
meager. "No information," reported
Manager Brig-gs, "has been received from
individuate, commercial bodies or the
press that even remotely established a
fact." This occasioned surprise to the
manager, and he remarked:
RESPONSES ARE MEAGER.
