UNION OIL MEETS WITH
SNAG IN COUNCIL
Is Refused Second Franchise to Run
Its Pipe Line from Sherman
Until First Is ReIin-
qulshed

In its efforts to pump oil from the
Sherman field TO Fullerton the Union
Oil company finds itself struggling over
a right of way in Los Angeles county
Los Angeles has already granted a
franchise to run the pipe line partly
through the western end of the city, on
which there remains a time limit of
two years.
Yesterday the company asked for an
other franchise to go around the city
near the boundaries.
Councilman Walter Wren and others
thought this would be bad policy, as it
would give the company two franchises
notwithstanding a promise to relinquish
one franchise as soon as the other right
of way was obtained.
The council decided to instruct City
Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt to prepare
the ordinance of sale ana have it ready
so that when the county sunervisors do
their share in granting the right the
city can do it's portion of the work of
facilitation for the oil pipe line.

WHEAT SHIPMENTS FROM
NORTHWEST BREAK RECORD
For First Time in History Oregon,
Washington and Idaho Have
Sent Out 100000
Bushels
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, April 13.-When
the returns are all in for April it will
be found that Oregon, Washington and
Idaho for the first time in their his
tory have shipped (fiour included) 49,
100000 bushels Of wheat.
The 1907 crop of the three states was
record breaker by nearly 10,OOo,0OO
bushels, reaching d grand total of 5S,-
100000 bushels. Not only was the wheat
crop the largest on record, but barley
also established a new mark with a
crop of nearly 10000. 900 bushels. Oats,
exclusive of the crop grown in the L..
A. Conner district on Puget Sound
is credited with a yield of l2,00O,O00
bushels IN the three states.
These figures. which show grand
total of S0000,OQ0 bushels of the three
leading cereals, are compiled from ac-
curate statistics supplied by the rail-
road companies and grain exporters In
various parts of the three states.
Washington produced wheat crop of
about 35,0O0O0O bushels. Oregon slight
ly under 1S,0OO000 and Idaho some
what over 1000 600 bushels.
The aggregate value to the farmers
of the three cereals was about $780,
000, 600.
The European business was remark
ably evenly divided between portland
and the three Puget Sound ports, Seat

COUNCIL IGNORES REQUEST
TO REFUSE SAILORS DRINKS
Plan to Shut Up Los Angeles Saloons
Meets with Opposition, Other
Remedies Being Regarded
Preferable

The city council refused yesterday to
take up the suggestion of Admiral
Thomas, seconded by the Los Angeles
Prohibition union, that no drinks of an
intoxicating character be sold or given
to sailors during the visit of the fleet
Councilman Wallace suggested that
all saloons be closed during that period,
adding that it was only proper and
right that the city make refund on
the licenses for that period since IL
censes were exacted.
The hundreds of white ribboners pres
ent cheered Mr.. Wallace's remarks, but
as the majority of the council opposed
such a course no vote was taken
Councilman Henry Lyon voiced the
sentiment of the Republicans when he
said such course would be resented by
the sailors, who would probably be
able to get all the liquor they wanted
beyond the city limits.
Several councilmen said they pre-
ferred to leave the question to the honor
of the sailors who had conducted them
selves nobly at all ports and to the good
sense of the community

TABLE LICENSE ON
CHARTERED CLUBS
COUNCIL WILL AWAIT PROSE
CUT0R'S ACTION
Attorney Hewitt Advises That Liquor
Selling for Profit Makes Some
Organizations Amenable
to Law

Most of the afternoon yesterday Ihe
city council wrestled with liquor pioD
lens. III. v,,os
The plan to license social CLUBS was was
tabled on the announcement OF CITY
ATTORNEY Leslie r. Hewitt that the
chartered clubs had no right from tle @
state To sell liquor, that privilege belng
merely a reasonable restricted slde Is
sue. Clubs organized for drinking pur-
poses merely could be closed.
The council was going aneau Oh w
.l,aa,,, that all these chartered clubs
had a legal right to sell hquor anu
reached the point where the monthly
iicense had to be decided when Attor-
new Hewitt broke in with the uneX-
nected announcement that the CLUBS
had no rights which the council did
NOT expressly choose to grant in the
matter of drink privileges.
Several of the councilmen had op-
posed licensing the clubs on the the
ory that it would be adding 10 more
saloons, which would be unfair to eX-
listing saloons which pay high license
ON the other hand licensing them
would result in the police being able
to get admission.
Then it developed that the prose-
cutors of the city's law department
would take up the question of prose-
cutions. the only bar so far having
been the police objections of the dlttl-
cultv and expense of getting proper
testimony.
I Attorney Hewitt explained that clubs
organized primarily for drinking pur-
poses could be estopped, though with
other clubs there might be some diff

SARABIA'S TRIAL TO
BE HELD IN ARIZONA
ATTORNEYS FOR PRISONER
NOT DISCOURAGED
Hartman and Holston Contend There
Is Danger of Prisoner Being
Kidnapped by Mexican
Authorities

AS the result Of his giving up the
long fight against extradition to Ari-
zona for trial by jury on the charge OF
violating the neutrality laws of the
United States and of the Mexican gov
ernment as WELL Manuel Sarabla, one
of the four alleged Mexican revolution
lists, Will be removed to tombstone,
Arizona, within a short time.
Attorneys Job Hartman and A. r.
Holston have made a plucky fight in
behalf of Sarabia and his compatriots,
Rivera, Magon and Nillareal, and have
not given up the defense of Sarabia yet.
1t is likely that one of these two Los
Angeles attorneys will defend Sarabia
in Arizona.
The case of the other three, after
missioner, William M. Van Dyke, at the
federal court building in Los Angeles,
was finally appealed to the supreme
court of the United states.
Sarabia was charged with having
been connected with "A military eXpedi-
ton raised in the United States to fight
against the Mexican government.
Want No Mexican Trial
The main point at issue before the
commissioner was the desirability of
having Sarabia tried at Los Angeles
rather than in Arizona, as his attorneys
feared he would be kidnapped from the
latter place and taken to Mexico Tor
trial.
Judge Olin Wellborn signed the order
for the removal of Sarabia to Arizona
in the United States circuit court yes
terday This order was delivered to
United States Marshal Leo V. Young
worth who will take the prisoner to
Tombstone in a few days time.
. The members of the Mexican Liberal
party, not only in Los Angeles but also
throughout the entire country and Mex
Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-14

leo as well. have been watching his
case and that of his compatriots with
the greatest Of interest.
The fear of the attorneys for Sarabla
that he might be kidnapped from Ari-
zona and taken to Mexico are founded
on the belief that if tried in the latter
country he would not receive fair treat
ment and would be summarily and un-
justly dealt with by the authorities.
In Los Angeles there is no danger of
anything like kidnapping a prisoner &C.
curing, Attorneys Hartman and Hols-
ton say, and so they have fought to
have the prisoner kept in Los Angeles
for trial
