SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.--On ac-
count of the labor troubles at this port
q number of steam schooners destined
for San Francisco in the northern coast
will be sent to San Diego and Port Los
Angeles for unloading.
The steam schooners now here laden
with lumber are still held UP on ac-
count of the non-union crews aboard
and the refusal of union longshoremen
to handle cargoes.
Such vessels as were manned with
union crews had no difficulty in secur-
ing men for unloading. Albert Hanify,
a member of the shipowenrs' associa-
ton, said today that the sending of
vessels to southern ports was not due
to the protests made here against the
increased prices of lumber. He said:
''The steam schooners here are liable
to be tied up for long time. If we
cannot unload our vessels here we will
send them where they can be unloaded.
We will never give in to Furuseth."

FELONY CHARGE
VOTE TRAFFICKING PUTS DEP
UTY IN HOT WATER
Alleged to Have Offered to Buy 9
Newspaper Mans Right to Vote.
First Prosecution of
the Kind

Active preparations are being made
in the district attorneys office for a
thorough prosecution of the felony
charge against H. C. Vignes, who is
alleged to have attempted and offered
to buy vote at the primary Repub-
lican election in the Fortieth precinct
of the Fourth ward.
According to the statements Of many
local politicians Los Angeles has been
unusually free from "Indianism" at
the polls during the past few years and
the action against Vignes is said to be
the first prosecution of its kind in the
county. e.
The accused man is a deputy sheriff
and is alleged to have attempted to
buy vote for Sheriff White. Harry
c. Carr, reporter for the Times, and
one of the best known newspaper men
in the west, is the complaining witness
in the case.
Mr. Carr alleges that while securing
news at one of the polling places he
gotiated with him for his vote, promis-
ing him 50 If he would go to the polls
and vote for Sheriff White.
Warrant Issued
Carr went far enough to secure his
evidence and printed the story and
thereupon District Attorney Fredericks
issued warrant for the arrest of
Vignes.
The deputy was informed of the fact
as he was on his way to report on duty
and he promptly gave himself up and
in company with Under Sheriff Yonkin
went before Justice Young and was
placed under $1,000 bonds. which were
furnished by David Lewis and Will
liam Davis.
1t is understood that the preliminary
hearing will not take place until after
the county convention has been held.
Sheriff White states that he did not
authorize Vignes to act for him and
that Vlgnes had not been appointed
one Of his campaign lieutenants. He
further stated that he had not given
cent for any such election purposes
and that he knew nothing whatever
about the alleged bribery.
Vignes also denies the charges
against him and is preparing to fight
the case.

AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Culled From Important Happenings
Throughout the State During the
Past Week and Reviewed in Brief.
G. O. d. Red Eye.

Piled in the corners Of nearly all che
offices of the American Express Com
pany in the state are packages of G..
o. D. liquor shipped by Kansas City
wholesalers and distillers to bibulous-
ly-inclined persons residing in local
option communities and which the ex-
press company refuses to deliver,
while the eonsignor declines to take
it off their hands. These are the hq-
uor packages that were in transit
when the American Express Company
announced its decision not to deliver
any more c. o. d. liquor into this
state, and which the Kansas City liq-
uor houses sought to have delivered
via the injunction process, but the
courts refused to come to the relief
of the vendors, standing by the COM
mon carrier in its determination to
give no further aid or encouragement
to the traffic. 1t is estimated that not
less than $4,000 worth of whiskey
and other liquors is tied up in this
manner in the various local express
offices, and there it promises to remain
until the litigation is finally disposed
Of by the United States Supreme Court
where it is to be carried as soon as
the appeal from the recent decision
of Judge Niles can be perfected.

Insect Causing Damage to Cotton.

John Simmons farmer brought 70
Magnolia species Of insect which he
says is running his cotton. The insect
in some respects resembles the boil
weevil, but it is only about one-third
the size Of that pest. Mr.. Simmons
states that he marked a stalk on
which he noticed the insects, the stalk
having twelve blooms. On the next day
he returned and found that all but
two of the blooms had withered and
fallen off, carrying the young boil
also. The bug is about twice the size
Of the corn weevil and is found in
the heart Of the square. The square
and bloom wither, turn yellow and
drop to the ground. A great deal of
the cotton in the neighborhood where
Mr.. Simmns lives is affected by this
insect. A bottle containing four of
the insects was sent to w. NJ. Bam-

insects which attack cotton and his
opinion is anxiously awaited by farm
