POT CALLS KETTLE
BLACK IN COURT
BOX MAKERS ALLEGE FRUIT
EXCHANGE is TRUST
Judge BordweII Refuses to Allow
Question of Legality of Business
of Two Corporations to Enter
Consideration

Whether or not the California Pine
BOX company and the California Fruit
Growers exchange are trusts carrying
on business in violation of the Cart
wright antitrust law has nothing to do
with the case of the latter against the
former, according to a ruling of Judge
BordwelI of the superior court yester-
day.
Yesterdays proceedings came UP on
a demurrer of the exchange to the re-
ply of the box company to the plaint-
ifs complaint, one allegation being
that the lumber company was a trust
and that the growers organization
could not purchase boxes except from
the defendant concern.
Attorneys for the lumber company
promptly retorted that if such was the
case the exchange had none the better
of the arugment, as the latter itself
was a trust. The court ruled that this
question was not at issue in the pend
ing proceedings, and allowed further
time in which to amend the demurrer,
The exchanges suit was based on the
allegation that the box company over
charged $4,000 in a bill of 100000 for
boxes, and it seeks to recoved that
amount.

PLUNGlNG OVER PRECIPICE,
AUTO LANDS RIGHT SIDE UP
Car Leaves Road in San Francisquits
Canyon and Falls Forty Feet
Without Serious Injury

BAKERSFIELp, July 3O-After q
4O-foot plunge over the San Francis
quita grade, south of this city early
this morning, an automobile carrying
E. NJ. Benson Of Los Angeles and his
chauffeur, J. f. Walsh, was taken from
the bottom of the canyon and came
into this city under its own power,
minus steering wheel and with most
of its outworks demolished.
Welsh was driving and Benson was
asleep in the tonneau. Welsh admits
that he, too, dozed just a moment, but
in that moment the plunge came. The
automobile rolled over and over for
40 feet and landed right side up. The
men repaired the damaged running
gear and continued the trip. Neither
man suffered more than few bruises.

WOMAN CARRYING CHILD
FALLS FROM STREET CAR

A frightened gasp, forerunner of the
scream which died in the throats of a
group of women waiting at the corner
of Third street and Broadway yester-
day afternoon for two Third street cars
to go by, greeted the appearance and
passing danger to a mother and her
child.
Mrs. w. K Smith of 459 South
Figueroa street was alighting from
West Adams street car No. S72 at 2:45
o'clock in the afternoon, holding her
child in her arms, when she was
thrown to the street by a motion of
the car. AS she fell she turned slightly,
still holding the baby tightly, and
struck on her back. For an instant it
appeared as if she might roll beneath
the wheels, but the next moment she
rose. little the worse for the accident
which had startled the crowd of women
who witnessed it.
II heard the conductor ring the bell, 4"
said Mrs. Smith, when l was on the
bottom step, but I supposed the motor
man would see me and not start the
car till l was off. I'm not hurt, but |
think was very lucky that wasn't"

KEEP MERGER OUT OF POLITICS. SAYS MAYOR

7 N the office of the mayor yesterday, in quiet
interval between the visits of persons with
Il little problems for his honor to solve, there
was some small talk of the city and its affairs,
mostly in lighter vein. The mayor, enjoying the

stffly, the smile vanishing.
