SECOND TRIAL RESULTS IN
VICTORY FOR PROSECUTION
Verdict Of Guilty Returned Against
Harry L. Decker for Speeding
the Automobile of His
Sister

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. 11.-Guilty as
charged in the Indictment was the YER
dict of the jury at Z o'clock this evening
in the second trial of Harry L. Decker
charged with exceeding the speed limit
with his sisters automobile on Orange
Grove avenue on June 81 Police Judge
Robert w. Mcdonald before whom the
case was tried, imposed a fine of $25.
Nearly the entire day was occupied In
the retrial of this case. The first trial
was also by jury in the same court, but
the jury failed to agree upon a verdict.
City Attorney J. Perry Wood and his
assistant, Mr.. Honberger, conducted the
prosecution, and Grant Jackson of Los
Angeles represented the defendant
Young Mr.. Decker, Miss Burbank, an
automobile man, Mr.. Sabichi, and Mr.
Potter jeweler of Los Angeles, were
witnesses for the defense. The police
officers Nicoli and Coping, who timed
the auto when they made the arrest,
were the principal witnesses for the
prosecution.
Whereas in the former trial but little
animation was developed in the attor-
neys. today more effort was put forth
on each side, and considerable ginger
was infused into the case by disputes Of
the attorneys The case has attracted
a great deal of interest on account of
its being the first in which serious
attempt has been made to escape a fine
when charged with automobile speeding;
and, also because the real defendant In
the case is a woman, Miss Fe Burbank,
the owner of the machine. She remained
at court with her brother during the
trial, being the only woman present.
Following are the names of the jury
mem j. Hollywood A. Ryder, H. o.
Lingstrom j. M. Corbin, c. j. Barnard,
W. c. Williams, John Beck, w. j. Law
renee, L. B. Smith, R. NJ. Pinney, VIM.
Sommerville and o. T. Hammell. The
jury was out about forty-five minutes
City Attorney Wood expressed mild
Indignation at being required to spend
whole day of valuable time on such a
case which should have been put upon
more important business for the city.
He contended the case should have been
dismissed in the start by the defendant
paying the penalty for breaking the
speed ordinance, without protest.

FAIR TREATMENT

BlTANT PRICES
Immediate Action by Joint Committee

Secure Terminal Rate on

Pasadena Agency.
n North Raymond Avenue,
Phones: Sunset 1907, Home 2l24.

PASADENA, Sept 11.-By the addition
of local freight rates from Los Angeles
to Pasadena although the coal is orig
inally hauled right through Pasadena on
the way to Los Angeles, the price OF the
fuel at retail is 81 a ton higher to con-
sumers in Pasadena than to those in
Los Angeles. Similar exorbitant freight
rates to this city put both dealers ana
consumers at a disadvantage In Pasa-
dena as compared with those in Los
Angeles.
1t is with hope of securing from the
railroad companies more equitable treat
ment for the people of Pasadena that
a joint committee of members OF the
board of trade and of the merchants
association has been appointed to confer
with the representatives of these COM
panies. Postmaster j. w. Wood was
named as chairman of this committee.
Mr.. Wood being absent on a trip to
Alaska and immediate action by the COM
mittee being thought advisable, w. +.
Knight has been selected as chairman.
Mr.. Sargent, president of the board Of
trade, believes that If action is taken
promptly and the subject presented prop
erly to the railroads they will favor
this city's trade with better rates.
In addition to the higher freight rates
to Pasadena, broken carloads are side
tracked at Los Angeles and held for
week or more before sending over here,
which is often more of loss than the
extra freight. The joint committee now
at work on the problem hopes to secure
better service on small lots and better
rates in at least car lots of freight to
this city.
