SHIPS SAIL TO
ESCAPE STRIKE
TWO BIG FREIGHTERS LEAVE
SAN PEDRO
Crew Of a Third Vessel Deserts Iea'-
Ing Vessel Tied Up and
Unable to Get
Away

Existing labor troubles at san Feuro
resulted yesterday in the hurried SAIL
ing of two freighters which had put
info that mort to discharge cargo, put
which left without accomplishing thelr
nurnose. The schooner Okanogon' Win
3OO 0OO feet of lumber aboard, sailed ior
port Gamble and the schooner CaroIlhe
cleared for the Umpqua river. le ne
Okanogon left in such hurry thal lne
captain did not even wait to sign
first mate. This is VlolatloL VI iam
and probably will lead to trouble wheh
the craft again arrives in port. The
schooner McIaurin is tied up and her
crew has deserted.
There was no disturbance yesteraay
despite the fact that more than IOoo
members of the Longshoremen's union
are out and that strikebreakers nave
heen nut to work in their places. Sa-
Looms are closing their doors at p. m.
and no liquor is being sold to intoxi-
Gated persons. ,.o
The Southern Pacific transported 15O
Cholos to San Pedro yesterday morn
ing and put them to work unloading
the Melville Dollar, the Coronado ana
the Rivel at the Salt Lake wharf, and
the Centralia at the Southern Pacihc
wharf. A dead line was esta bllshed
and deputy marshals warned strikers
not to pass 1T, their commands being
obeyed without resistance.
The Sailors union has held a meet
ing and It is expected that the sailors
will be called out next. City authori-
ties declare they expect no trouble,
though thirty-five deputy marshals
have been sworn In as a precautionary
measure.

BOY FALLS BENEATH AUTO
Lad Has Narrow Escape From Death
When Bicycle Slips on
Pavement

Rufus East, twelve years of age and
whose home is at 734 South Grand ave-
nue., had narrow escape from death
yesterday afternoon when his bicycle
slipped on the wet pavement at Grand
avenue, near Seventh, and he was
thrown directly under a moving auto
mobile. Fortunately the machine was
travelling at low rate of speed and
S. M Purple who was driving it, sue
ceeded in checking its progress before
the boy had been seriously injured.
Young East was bruised somewhat
about the legs and was taken to his
home near by. With Purple in the car
was C. T. Burnett of the Los Angeles
Purchasing company 1t was their
first experience with the machine which
was new one, but neither Purple nor
Burnett seems to have been in the least
to blame for the accident. They did
everything they could for the boy
Both men were brought to the police
station by Sergeant Dixon, who was
passing at the time of the accident oc-
CURED, but both were released. The
bicycle was demolished.

BELIEVE LONG HAS
A CRIMINAL RECORD

Irving Long. whose sensational es-
cape from the police station Monday
night and subsequent leap from a
third story window OF lodging house,
only to be captured later, convinced
the police that he is a desperate char
acter, was identified yesterday by Paul
Flammer, captain of detectives, as u
young man who was convicted of high
way robbery about a year ago and,
because of his youth, released on pro-
baton.
Longs sentence still hangs over him
and it may be enforced, now that he
is found to have been engaged in other
questionable If not exactly criminal
transactions. Long was brought into
the station for attempting to pass a
worthless 500 Georgia bank bill. This
in itself is not a serious offense, as the
bill was not counterfeit, but was of
the wild cat" variety Under the Cal
ifornia law It would have been nee
essary to prove that Long had as
sured his prospective victim that the
bill was good before a conviction
could be had.

TAILOR HAS STRANGE CUSTOMERS;
MULES ORDER THEIR FALL SUITS

to a delivery wagon belonging to the
Sentuous Packing company and this
fact alone kept them from coming fur
ther into the store where a more close
inspection of fabrics and patterns
could be made.
The wagon was jammed tight against
the doors and the mules were standing
quietly gazing around them. One had
a white spot over one eye and seemed
to be the leader. He glanced at one
table full of suitings and then to an
other, raising one ear as sign of ap-
proval and another when the color was
not quite to his liking. He nodded to
his companion and once or twice cast
a condescending glance backward at
the crowd that had gathered.
BY that time the driver, who had left
the animals standing while he went into
a nearby store, appeared upon the
scene and tried to take things in his
hands. He pulled the animals back
ward, but with stubbornness that was
quite characteristic they refused to
bulge. The tailor had not measured
them and they had no intention of go
ing without at least giving an order
for clothes.
The tailor came to the rescue but
instead of taking the usual measures
employed to please customers, he
pushed the mules unceremoniously out
of his shop. With his pushing, the
drivers pulling and the assistance of
dozen people in the crowd who tugged
at the wagon, the long-eared customers
were finally induced to postpone their
shopping for another day.
Bystanders say that the mules were
left too near the car tracks and the
conductor in his effort to get them off
frightened them and they made dash
for the tailor shop, bounded over the
curb and sidewalk and stopped only
when the wagon refused to go through
the door. Two marks at the side of
the doorway where the wagon wheels
struck are the only signs of the acct
dent, but all who saw marveled that
the windows were not broken.
Perhaps the mules are in the habit
of visiting tailor shops
