Both Mr.. Brookins and myself, while
we have never made flights in Los
Angeles have achieved excellent re-
suits flying at sea level. and from
what we know of the conditions here |
believe a meet in Los Angeles would
be a wonderful success and an eye
opener to aviators everywhere.
"The weather conditions make little
difference to us--in fact, no difference
whatever. We fly every day unless
there is a hurricane. In fact, we some
times fly in a hurricane. I believe
when the wind is blowing sixty miles
per hour it is called that, and We have
flown in that sort of weather. But
anyway we will be able to give won-

do so.

an accounting of a partnership was
heard.
They formerly were united in busi-

they sold to pickle factories IN the
north. Levine thought that Frank was
getting the better of him, and they
went to court several months ago.
John G. Beardsley, attorney, was ap-
pointed as a receiver. He sold the bar

against the railroads in the freight rate
hearing which will come before the
interstate commerce commission De

order to prepare his data for the con-
test
At the present time the railways are
under Injunction from the court at st.
Paul against the enforcement OF the
$1.15 rate, but as soon as the COM
merce court is formed the matter Will
be brought up for final hearing.
Senator Frank Flint has been active
in an effort to have a California man
named OH this court and both the ship
ners and the railroads are working TO
the same end, as both believe that a
western man who thoroughly under
stands the situation will be able TO
reach a fair settlement of the contro-

eastern market, but also in regard to
the relation western products will bear
TO those of Florida and Sicily.
In the Florida cases the interstate
commerce commission said: ''The
principal reason put forward in sup
port of the low rate lies in the charge
for transportation for oranges from
California. 1t seems the rate paid for
California fruit is less per box than
that paid for Florida fruit, ALTHOUGH
the distance is twice as great"

the battle for higher rates have OBJ

I'm Glad Now | Didn't Kill Him,
Says the Prisoner Who
Sought Mans Life

Reared in the mountains of South
Carolina, where the unwritten law
finds ready sanction among the hardy
mountaineers, Miss Nellie Brown did
not hesitate to follow Harvey Zemp
across the continent when she con-
cluded he had Tilted her. and attempt
to avenge the injury she charges he
inflicted.
In the court of a justice of the peace
at Redondo Beach, where her pre- i'm
mary examination was held yesterday,
resulting in her being held for trial
in the superior court under heavy
bond, it was with difficulty that Of
ficers restrained the young woman
from attacking Zemp with hat pin
as he testified for the prosecution.
Miss Brown, frail and young, is in
the county jail. She shot Zemp Fri
day at Redondo Beach while he was
riding his bicycle and then turned the
gun on herself with the avowed inten-
tion of committing suicide. Zemp
gripping his bleeding arm, ran to her
side and took the weapon from her.
The young woman says Zemp visited
her at the county Jail yesterday and
apparently sympa athized with her. He
promised, she said, to aid in procur-
ing her release and not to press the

she sat in a crowded courtroom and
heard words fall from the lips of the
man she loved that burned into her
brain. The hot blood of her mountain
forebears leaped in her veins. She lost
sight of the eager faces about her, of
the Judge and attaches of the court,
and snatching a long pin from her hat
she sprang at the man. Officers seized
her and forced her back into her chair.
LIKE ROMANCE OF FICTION
Back of this near-tragedy lies a
story as dramatic and romantic as
though taken from the pages of
novel.
Nellie and Harvey were schoolmates
in the mountains of South Carolina.
Zemp left for California, according to
the young woman, with the promise
that he would send for her. He wrote

Determined to learn the truth, she
wrote demanding that he send for
her, but he delayed, and as the weeks
wore on she grew suspicious that an
other woman had taken her place
Hurriedly departing from the home
and friends she had known since child
hood and without telling any one OF
her intention, Miss Brown came to Cali
fornia, and, armed with a revolver,
sought Zemp in the streets of Redondo
Beach.
Friday she saw him mount q bicycle
and ride toward her Taking careful
aim, although she says her arm was
trembling from excitement. the young
woman fired, the bullet knocking Zemp
from the wheel but missing his heart
through a turn of the handle bars and
striking him in one arm. She saw him
fall, and in a daze turned the weapon
on herself, pressing the muzzle against
her temple. zemp, gripping his wound
ed arm and running to her, snatched
the weapon. Then began struggle
for possession of the weapon, the young
woman weakening and losing control of
the revolver.

Miss Brown. her lips trembling, her
face pallid, in her cell in the county

that she was glad now that her hand
had trembled so violently that she

story. and at the request Of Mrs. Le-
land Norton of the Legal Aid society,
who has interested herself in the case
Newmire proposes to put up deter
mined fight to save the young woman
from a prison term.
In speaking of the case he said:
1.-THE woman was born and reared In
the mountains of the Carolinas. She
knows no other law in her particular
case than that of the unwritten. In
her own state she would be acquitted
instantly. Her action in court yester-
day is easily explained when you take
into consideration the fact that she is
quick tempered, and his testimony at
that time was not only offensive to her
but an insult"
New1nire is assisted in the case by
Col. Johnson.
