PRIEST THANKS NATIVE SONS
FOR MONEY TO SAVE MISSION
Father BuCkIer Will Have Roof
on Ancient Santa YneZ Church ,

SANTA BARBARA. June 9.-Father
Buckler today expressed his 'overwhe4ihlh9
gratitude for the $3.50 appropriation voteo
by the grand parlor of Native Sons OF the
Golden West at Lake Tahoe for the partial
restoration of Santa Ynez mission. and out
lined his plans for using the money.
THE first work will be to preserve the
chapel by removing the tiles, putting on a
new watertight roof and then replacing the
tiles" said Father Buckler VINO mas h.eo
alone at the mission. administering 10 the
wants of needy travellers and working for
the preservation of the crumbling enurch
and cloisters
by putting on a new roof we shall pro
tect the mural paintings and preserve the
church in its present condition for genera
tions to come. These decorations were exc
cuted by the Indians and are among the @
most interesting mementoes OF the WORK
done by the early fathers among the saw
ages
THE chapel is very large being longer
than the church at the Santa Barbara mis-
sion but 1 believe we can put on the new
roof with $3.50. After this is done, the most
pressing need is for completion of a large
room at the southwest end of the cloisteIs
This room should be preserved 1t can De
accomplished for about s1OO"
Santa Ynez mission was founded In lso4'
and the mission buildings are older than
those of the Santa Barbara mission, whlch
was rebuilt after the eartn9uaKe OF 40 20. -
Its long cloister with a colonnade or mis-
sion arches was destroyed for more thah
half its length, and only the columns OF the
ruined arches and q portion of the clolster
is we'll preserved and can be kept SO with
the expenditure of a small sum OF money.
READY FOR WORK
Father Buckler has already secured lum-
ber for rebuilding the roof. using the pro-
ceeds of a fair held by the people OF the
valley for this purpose about one year ago
Santa Ynez mission is visited by scores OF
travellers who go through the valley by
automobile. The construction of good roads
between this city and the valley via GaViota
and the san Marcos pass are destined TO
nut the old mission on one of the most
popular and famous automobile trips In Cali

the other old missions which attract the
tourists Sentimentalists are already deplor-
ing the loss of the noble isolation which the
beautiful ruin now enjoys The mission

the Santa Ynez river curving like a silver

PASADENA TO ORGANIZE
A MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
Complexion to Be Non-PartiSan
and Solution of Water
Question Object

PASADENA, June 10.-This city is TO
have a. new civic organization founded
along the lines of the Municipal league

ing that the organization Will ne non
partisan and that the primary object
will be to "solve the water question" as
promised by the promoters of the new
association at the time they were in
strumental in defeating the proposition
of bonding the city to purchase the
existing water plants.
President Barry states that the or
ganization or its members Will not an
tagonize the board of trade, which mas
as its principal function the boosting
of Pasadena through promotion l1tera-
ture and entertaining of guests, but
tha A3ts scope will be much wider than
the existing civic body. The platform
of the new organization is as follows:
ITO foster and further the best in
terests Of Pasadena and its inhabitants;
to promote good citizenship; to give
greater publicity to matters OF pubic
expenditures and the acts of conduct
of public officials; to oppose all illegal
and irregular use of public moneys; to
carefully scrutinize all proposed BOND
issues; to encourage economy in the
administration of municipal affairs; to
compel public service corporations TO
fulfill their just obligations to the pub
lie, and to protect and conserve in
their fullest enjoyment the personal and
ri oh fc of
ITO this end and as one of the con-
crete matters of most vital interest to
the people of Pasadena, it will be the
purpose of this association earnestly
to advocate that immediate steps be
taken to obtain from the city OF Los
Angeles such share of the owens river
water and electric power as Los An
geles may be willing to concede to
Pasadena and the territory Immediately
adjoining and similarly situated, and
to publicly express our willingness to
meet any and all reasonable demands
which the city of Los Angeles may eX-
act as a condition of sharing with us
the water and power which it has ac-
uuired by reason of the good judgment,
far-sightedneSs and executive ability
of it's many eminent and enterprising
citizens. This association fully recog-
nizes the greatness of the financial and
engineering problems which Los An
geles has undertaken and the single
ness of purpose with which its plans
have been carried out and is prepared
to urge upon the people consolidation
with Los Angeles If that city so de-
mands as a condition to the enjoyment
of it's water and power privileges"

HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Colorado Judge Rules on Statute
Enacted 20 Years Ago

DENVER, Colo, June 9.-The Colo
rado anti-coercion law, enacted TWEEN
ty years ago, which provides that no
employer shall discharge any employe
because he belongs to a labor union
or attends labor meetings, has been
declared invalid by Judge Sullivan of
Mesa county. This law, regarded as
the strongest in Colorado for the pro-
lection of labor unions, has never be-
fore been attacked.
The decision resulted from a suit
brought by State Labor Commissioner
Drake against Mcneil Brothers, op-
orators of a coal mine at Cameo, near
Palisades, who on April 26 discharged
and evicted twenty-three men in their
employment Judge Sullivan decided
that the coercion act was unconstitu-
tional, but upheld the eight-hour law.

LONG BEACH ASKS ABOUT
CHARGES FOR SWITCHING
Interstate Commerce and Rail-
way Commissions Are Asked
to Make Rulings

LONG BEACH, June 9.-Questions
regarding freight rates and switching
charges are asked in a lengthy COM
munication which the chamber OF
comerce today voted to send to the
Interstate commerce commission at
WASHINGTON and to the state railway
commission.
In the communication, which was
presented by the railroad committee
this morning to the directors, the
chamber of commerce asks whether the
commission would recommend the con-
struction of municipal railroad from
the city docks to connect with existing
railway lines or whether the granting
of franchises to other roads to build
up to the city docks would be regarded
as preferable. Other queries propound-
ed are:
"If the railroads We're given fran
chises to build up to the dock, would
shippers at interior points be entitled
to receive their freight from vessels
free of any charge'for switching on the
municipal docks?
"Would the shipper, If located on the
Southern Pacific, Salt Lake or Pacific
Electric (roads entering Long Beach).
at any point inland from or beyond
Los Angeles receive freight free from
shipping charges at Los Angeles? .
IF the city owned the tracks run
ming from the dock to and connecting
with the existing railways; would the
rulings be the same as in the fore
going questions?
would the rate from Long Beach
city dock to Los Angeles be the same
as from San Pedro to Los Angeles?
us such freight subject in any case
to switching charge, and if so, what
Is it?
eff the city owned its own tracks,
would its responsibility be that of a
common carrier?
"If the city merely allowed existing
railroads to use its track, would that
responsibility attach?"
