Ac the same time oa opening
priceti by the California Prune a-
sociation, there were announced
prices bv the commercial nackers
concerned with prunes In Califor
nia, which are identical with the
association's prices saya the Cali
fornia Fruit News.
The prune association has sold
the commercial packers outright a
large proportion of a good-sized
block of its handlings that haa been
set aside for these openinef prices.
The balance the association will
sell itaelf through its own office
and pack through its own facili
ties. Kvery recognized packer In
the state has, we understand, gone
Into the arrangement, and all will
pay cash, or praeticlly ao, for the
prunes bought, which were at the
association's price Jess packing,
brokerage and selling cosis. This
is Intended to stabllizo the situation
at the beginning and avoid operat
ing any dumping scheme at the
other end, which usually Is disas
trous, so far as the average prices
are concerned and the next sea
son't crop market. The prune as
sociation is practically cleaned up
on old prunes and will have Its
growers paid off up to 1925 very
shortly. The 1925 money will
come in earlier than usual and
there Is little, if any, possibility of
a lowering of prices, unless pack
era should be able to buy from in
dependent growers In volume at
well under the association's price,
which, quite presumably, for the
present will not be a condition.
The general prospect is for not
more than last year's prune crop
in California and we are still of
the same opinion as previously ex- '
pressed, that it will be under last I
year in total. The Pacific north
west has a verv small croii ami
while some of the European prune
producing districts will he in evcc
of last year, there is not in pros

FILBERTS EAST
An experiment in shipping fil
berts east is being worked out by
Karl I'earcy, who hopes to get to
gether a car of the valley filberts
mis year ror mat purpose, to open
the eyes of filbert eaters In the
east and get an opening in the mar
ket for (he next year or two hence
when filbert plantings will come
pretty generally Into bearing and
the crop will bo able to take its
place generally In the eastern mar
ket. The Oregon fllbcr; Is larger than
any filbert grown elsewhere nnd it
is felt certal i when it reaches thc
east nnd Is looked over bv tho hov
ers there that a demand will im
mediately spring up. There are
large filbert ncreages In thia sec
tion but they are all young, and it
probably will be two years before
any material crop develops.
1 'carry is not certain that a full
car of filberts can be gotten to
gether this year, although then i
good crop for thc limited n..r.
ago that Is in bearing. Many fii-Ifi-ts
will go into local consump
tion, but every effort will be made
lo find enout; . growers who will be
willing to part with a sufficient
number of filhei Is to make up a
car.

came dramatically. Trapped In the
apartment In which he had taken
refuge the night of July 30 after
setting fire to the laboratory of
the Pacific Cellulose company to
cover his crime, Schwartz sent a
bullet through his brain. He chose
death to capture and almost cer
tain conviction for the officers had
reconstructed thc happenings in
the isolated Imitation sail plant at
Walnut Creek too accurately to
leave him any hope.
So It was that when policemen
knocked upon his door in an Oak
land aparrment house, they heard
a muffled shot and breaking in
found him dying.
Note Kcucs Murder
An explanatory note addressed to
the wife, Mrs. Schwartz said the
fugltivo chemist had come to the
point of saying good bye because
he had killed a stranger who had
asked him for work and attacked
him when refused. But the Investi
gators brand as a falsehood, writ
ten In the face of death, tho ex
planation of the occurrence, made
by the man about to terminate his
existence. They believe their
proof is complete that Schwartz
planned the killing for months to
defraud tho insurance companies
out of more than $100,000 which
he carried In favor of Mrs.
Sen warts and the cellulose eom
p.iiy, in which she waa a heavy
stockholder. Ills note, the police
believe, was a dying effort to erase
the imago of himself as a promedl-
tated murderer In the minds of his
wife and children, when hin suicldo
should reveal his plot to fake his
Qwn death In the Walnut Creek
fire.
Scheme Too Klultoratc
Through his scheemlng, fate
worked against the Berkeley chem
ist, who was vice-president and
general manager of the cellulose
company. The explosion and fire
which were to havo wiped out evi
dence of the slaying of the man
lured to the pl.nt undr promise
of employment failed to accom
pllsh its purpose. Investigators
learned, because a night watchman
Schwartz hud sent on an errand
returned unexpectedly and extin
guished the blaze. His plan to
escape the same night failed when
he missed a train on which he had
a reservation for Bars tow, Cal. His
hiding place in Oakland was re
vealed in a casual way, another
stroke of fate. The " apartment
house proprietor attending a din
ner party Saturday night became
suspicious of his tenant when
shown a newspaper photograph of
the murder fugitive. After reflec
tion, tiie dinner guest became cer
tain as to the Identity of his new
tenant and early next morning he
notified the police. The house was
quickly surrounded and the suicide
followed.
Airs. Schwartz, who had consist
ently maintained that the charred
body found in the partially wreck
ed laboratory was that of her hus
band, fainted when informed that
he had taken his own life. Police
have -been unable to determine
whether she had knowledge that
he hadn't perished in the fire as at
first seemed to be indicated.
A letter written to . Airs.
Schwartz read;
Self IHiVn-e Plead
"Last Monday or Tuesday, I was
in the lab. lie caititi straight in.
We talked to each other for a little
while, when suddenly the man told
me that if i did not give him work
I had to give him money. He at
tacked me. I gave him a blow r
the head, lie fell, I gave him an
other. He was dead. I never
thought for i moment to let go,
but I could not make up my mind
to go to Bell (presumably the
Schwartz attorney) and tell him.
I decided to run away but made a
dirty job of it. I put the man in
the closet, got ready. Can you Im
agine how I felt all the time feel
ing I have to lose you and the
dear boys. Oh, CJod how I suffer
ed. "Now, I wish to tell you, my dear
little girl, I do not know the man,
never looked how he was dressed,
never touched him after that.
"The only thing I did was I tried
to hurt him, to wipe out and I
do not know where."
While Schwartz lay dying from
nis wound, inflicted but a moment
before the police had battered
down the 1oor to his apartment,
detectives found in his possession,:
evidence which proved conclusive
!y that the crime had long been '
anticipated. i
Police Scoff At Tale I
This, together with the assertion I
by Berkeley police that Schwartz!
was a student of "perfect crime"
and other Indicating circumstances
led officers to but one conclusion
deliberate murder nnd death
hoax.
Tho blast occurred on the night
of July 30 nnd the charred body
found In the laboratory was at
first believed to be Schwartz.
Doubt as to the identity of the
corpse, winch was burned beyond
recognition, crept into the case the
next day. Evidence indicating that
the body was not that of the chem
ist continued to pile up and on
August 4 Schwnrlz was officially
charged wiih murder and a nation
wide search for him was begun.
Identification of the victim was
made after a week of exhaustive
investigation, Several religious
books found in the laboratory con
tained handwriting which later
proved to be Identical with that
of a letter written by Barbe, the
victim, to a friend.
Insurance In Doubt
It has not ben definitely deter
mined to wha'. extent Mrs. Schwartz
will receive insurance. Of the
$100,000 Insurance her husband
carried his widow will receive not
more than $25,000 and some doubt
has expressed If this amount will
be paid.
A similar crime several years
ago involved Dr. Brumfield, an
Oregon dentist, who burned an au
tomobile with the body of a man
slain as a substitute for tho murder
who nlso held heavy Insurance.
Brumfield, like Schwartz, commit
ted suicide. The Oregon man, un
der sentence of death, took his life
In prison.
