NORTH AND SOUTH AFTER
CARRIERS CONVENTION
Coast May Lose Entirely Because
of Warning Cities

Members of the Los Angeles Letter
Carriers association are trying to get
the annual convention Of their organi-
zation in 1913 for Los Angeles. The
San Francisco carriers are also trying
to get the convention that year, and
between the two cities fight has
sprung up which may prevent either
city from securing the desired prize.
Since the organization of the ma
tional association the annual meeting
has been held on the Pacific coast
twice. once at San Francisco in 1897
and once at Portland in 1907. The Los
Angeles carriers now believe it is their
turn and state that San Francisco
should offer no opposition to this city.
The San Francisco carriers refuse
point blank to do this, however. They
put their bid in before Los Angeles
did and claim they will not concede
anything to Los Angeles. 1t is be-
lieved that unless the two cities have
arrived at an understanding before
the next convention meets in Roches-
ter in 1911 the result will be that the
convention will go to some third city,
possibly not on this coast at all.

COMMITMENTS FAULTY;
8 PRISONERS RELEASED
Judge Willis Conducts Class in
Law for Benefit of Po-
mona Officials

By an order dismissing three pris-
oners held in Pomona under faulty
commitments yesterday afternoon,
Judge Willis of the criminal court
made jail delivery in that city which
did not require the saving of bars
or the slaughtering of the guards.
The prisoners were Jules Hugues, A.
Fl. Vejar and Frank K. Smith, who
had been sentenced to six months each
on the charge of violating the liquor
ordinances of Pomona last fall. All
of them applied for their release on a
writ of habeas corpus. When the hear
ing took place they were discharged,
having served five months each. Judge
Willis conducted a class in the court
room for the edification of the Pomona
officials.
Recorder John II. Lee, City Attorney
J. w. Joss and Marshal Silas Wright
of Pomona We're the pupils in the class
who were given information by the
court on the proper manner in which
to commit prisoners if they would
keep them COMMITTED"
1t was shown during the habeas cor
pus proceedings that all three prison.
ers had been committed on two charges
each and that sentence was to begin
on each charge on the expiration of
the other.
Judge Willis began to smile on hear
ing the order of the commitments.
"If a prisoner begins one sentence
on the expiration of the other, on two
charges, which is which and on which
does he begin to serve time first And
If he begins to serve time, how are
you to know whether the prisoner has
started serving the right sentence? If
-" and the judge started to ask for
more light, but it was like trying TO
imagine how far the comet really trav-
els. He gave it up, declaring the COM
mitments faulty.
1t was shown that all six commit
ments, or two commitments each, or
dered the prisoners into the custody oil
the sheriff, but that they had only been
committed to the custody of Marshal
Wright. This was because Pomona
was not equipped with the proper sta
'tionery and the official had been using
the same commitments as those used TO
send a prisoner to the county jail.
Following the discharge of the pr1s-
oners the officials of Pomona were
asked if they had any more prison
ers. They declared they had not as

verdict was not reached until yester-
day morning at 10:30 o'clock. The jury
changed the verdict from robbery, with
the pronouncing Of a life sentence at
the discretion Of the court, to that of
grand larceny, allowing a sentence Of
from one to ten years.
Formerly, when juries wanted pris-
oner given light sentence, they made
recommendation for mercy toward
the prisoner, but the Jones jury yes
terday decided to suggest the newer
method of recommending probation.
Despite the recommendation of this
up-to-date jury Jones will be sentenced
unless it is shown that he is eligible
for probation.
