Member of Organization Is
Pleased With Outlook.
HOOD RIVER, Or., June 10. (Spe
cial.) Northwestprn fruit regions, the
crops of which will be handled by the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors, will
be governed by a standardized set of
grading rules hereafter, according to
H. F. Davidson, who has returned from
a meeting with the board of directors
of the distributors, of which he Is pres
ident. A committee of 15 expert packers
from all the Northwestern districts was
appointed to draw up the rules, which
were submitted to a Joint meeting or
the committee, the three sales man
agers of the association Wllmer Sieg,
of Hood River; B. A. Perham, of North
Yakima, and H. E. Smith, of Southern
Idaho and the board of directors.
Officers of the North Pacific Dis
tributors have resigned their positions
with their local associations and will
devote their time to the interests of
the central association. Mr. Davidson
and Mr. Sieg will continue, however,
to make their homes at Hood River,
the local branch of the association.
Terms of Office Drawn.
One of the first actions Saturday was
that of drawing of lots to determine
the tenure of office. The drawing re
sulted as follows: Three-year terms,
H. F. Davidson, Hood River: Harry
Huber, Walla Walla. Two-year terms.
W. M. Sackett. Hamilton. Mont., and
W. N. Yost. Meridian. Idaho. One-year
terms. F. E. Sickles. North Yakima, and
H. C. Sampson, of Spokane. All of those
connected with the responsibility of the
new central selling agency have been
placed under bonds ranging from $5000
to J10.000.
"Requests are received daily," says
Mr. Davidson, "from districts that are
not yet affiliated with the distributors,
and from where there are no organiza
tions, and we are being asked how the
Individual tonnage can be shipped
through the central agency. W have
all of these matters under considera
tion. "Our finance committee Interviewed
Spokane bankers Saturday and assur
ance was given that all of our tem
porary needs would be financed by In
stitutions there."
The new association will handle be
tween 12.000 and 15.000 carloads of
fruit, vegetables and melons this year.
Malen Managers Speclaltata.
"Our sales managers are specialists
in their lines," says Mr. Davidson, "and
know their respective branches of the
market. The potato problem has been
called to our attention, and it is prob
able that we will handle 4000 carloads
of potatoes next season, i
"We organized too late this season
to handle the strawberry crop, but will
market cherries, peaches, cantaloupes,
watermelons, plums, prunes, pears and
apples."
Mr. Davidson declares that the North
Pacific Distributors' Association is the
direct result of agitation that came up
at the fifth annual apple show at Spo
kane. "After many years of experi
ence as a grower and a shipper," he
says, "I am satisfied with the way
the. thing has turned out. Hood River
anl Yakima did not go Into the central
selling concern with the greatest delib
eration. In our own district here we
had Just organized a new organization
in the oldest organized box apple dis
trict in the Northwest. Our district un.
doubtedly is the most highly specialized
of any in the Northwest, and yet our
growers arc highly pleased that the new
Association has affiliated with the new
central agency."

SALEM, Or.. June 10. (Special.)
Governor West today remitted $46.67
of the fine of $50 of F. H Snodgrass,

who pleaded guilty to having attacked
and beaten James Davis, a convict.

E NOT BELIEVED
COXFLICTTXG STORIES LEAD TO
FERXAXDEZ ARREST.
Deputy District Attorney Hammers
ly, of Multnomah, Has Proof
of Husband's Jealousy.
ASTORIA, Or., June 10. (Special.)
Opinions of the physicians that the
wound, could not have been self-inflicted
and the conflicting stories told
by the defendant are responsible to a
great extent for F. Fernando Fernan
dez being held to await the action ot
the Circuit Court grand Jury on a
charge of murdering his wife, Mrs.
Emma Ruth Fernandez. who was
fatally utabbed at the Fernandez borne
in this cMy lust Friday evening.
Mrs. Fernandez was a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. Burnett, of La Grande,
and 17 years of age. She was married
in Portland about three months ago,
and she and her husband resided there
for about two months before coming
to Astoria, where the man secured em.
ployment as a cigarmalcer. She told
the officers that she stabbed herself,
but at the time she made the statement
the woman did not realize she was
fatally injured and insisted she would
recover.
Fernandez has told two or three dif
ferent tales of the stubbing. One was
that the woman fell while cutting
bread at the kitchen table and struck
on the knife. Another was that she
was cutting the bread against her
breast, when the knife slipped from
her hand and cut her. The case will
come before the grand Jury which will
be convened next Monday.
Proof that Fernandez was Jealous of
his wife is furnished by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Hammersly. of Multno
mah County, who has in his possession
memoranda showing that on April 16
Fernandez showed him a letter which
Mrs. Fernandez had received from
Thomas Bruce, alias Homesly, of North
Yakima. Wash., a former admirer. He
was determined that some action should
be taken.
"I told him." said Mr. Hammersly,
that we had no jurisdiction and ad
vised him to be forgiving and patient
as the girl was young. Mrs. Fernandez
said that her reTations with Bruce had
been Improper, but that she had made
a clean breast of everything to her
husband before marrying him.
guilty upon the advice of the Gover
nor, who said the case was not one
of sufficient importance to defend, al
though the evidence showed that Da
vis, who had broken a parole, was
severely treated when arrested and re
turned to the penitentiary. Witnesses
testified that Snodgrass knocked the
man down on the street and choked
him while they were on the way to
the penitentiary in a taxicab. Davis
was handcuffed when he la said to
have been choked and otherwise mis
treated. McMahon Causes Suit.
L. H. McMahon, who swore out the
warrant for the arrest of Snodgrass,
defended his action on the ground that
Governor West, author of the "honor
system" and self-styled friend of con
victs, had not taken action. To be
consistent. It Is contended the Gov
ernor, Instead of remitting the fine of
a man who pleaded guilty to beating a
convict, should have ordered his sum
mary dismissal. The Governor's order
in substance follows:
"Whereas, Snodgrass pleaded guilty
at the request of this office, and,
under all the circumstances which are
well known to this office, it is felt that
the fine Is excessive. I. Oswald West.
Governor, do hereby remit said costs
and $46.6 1 of the fine, leaving Snod
grass to pay $3.33 same belna- eaulva-
lent to one day's salary now received
by him as an employe of the state,
and direct that, upon the payment of
the $3.38. Snodgrass be released from
any further claim of liability there
under." Governor Explains Action.
Governor West said he desired
Snodgrass fined one day's pay as pun
ishment for his probably having "lost
his head to some extent" when he had
Davis in custody.
The law gives the Governor the
right to remit fines In such cases, but
prominent lawyers declare he has no
Jurisdiction when it comes to setting
aside a court order that a defendant
pay costs of a trial. If his order
stands the taxpayers will have to pay
the costs. The action of the Governor
in instructing Snodgrass to plead
guilty, his remitting of the fine and
declination to order the chief of guards
dismissed, gives color to a report that
the entire procedure was pre-arranged
by West.
