Used by trust the poor to bleed

But in exchange the hours are more,
Where they, in squalid hole or cage
Are drudging like the slaves of yore.

The triumph of Nero's fiddle;
Its body swelled with Mammon's lust.
Its legs are shaky, clay and brittlel

GARMENT WORKERS

Nearly 900 garment workers in and
around Pittsburg will be benefited by
the renewal of contracts between sew
eral employers and the United Garment
Workers of America. Under the agree
ment the cutters have secured II reduc-
tion OF four hours per week in their
working time, which gives them the
eight hour day in their industry, with
the same rate of pay they received un-
der the longer -workday. The tailor mem-
bers have secured a reduction of three
hours week, which establishes the 54
hour week for them. with no reduction
in pay. The piecework members have
secured wage increases. Garment Work
ers' officials are comforting with other
firms and it is believed that additional
companies will accept the new agree
ment.

TANGO FESTIVAL
IS OPENED TODAY

With an interest manifested that
assures success, the Ell Centre Coun-
try Clubs "Tango Festival" opened
this afternoon in the Masonic Temple
auditorium, when a number of well
known society folk of Ell Centre took
their first lesson in the various dam
ces which have started the whole world
dancing.
A second lesson will be given this
evening from 7:45 until 8:45, after
which Addison and his dancing part
ner will dance exhibitions of the va
rious dances. Between each exhibition
the spectators will dance.
The success of the afternoon was
augmented bv the presence of ten
matrons of Ell Centre, who acted as
patronesses of the festival. They were
Mrs. C. E. Paris, Mrs. David Moore
Mrs. Samuel Dunaway. Mrs. J. w.
Wachtel, Jr., Mrs. C. N. Perry, Mrs.
Allan Nuffer, Mrs. Charles Hersee,
Mrs. Winthrop Pier, Mrs. Dan Nolan
and Mrs. Wiley M. Weaver. They
acted as hostesses to the dancing pu-
pills. Light refreshments were served
Following the lessons in the after
noon, Addison and Miss Henkal
danced the Furlana for the members
of the Woman's Ten Thousand Club.
This dance, which was suggested by
Pope Plus as a worthy successor to
the ever popular tango on which he
placed ban of disapproval, is said
to be one of the most beautiful folk
dances indulged in by modern dancers,
and Addison and Miss Henkel are the
only dancers in the United States who
include it in their delineations. In
fact, it was first introduced by Addi-
son, and his rendition of it affords
the only opportunity in this country
to witness it.

With the end of the big race only
two days off, and with one popular
candidate to win a $1,275 HupmObile,
another a $500 Seeley lot, and two
others to receive 5000 furniture orders
each, and with many others to re-
ceive valuable prizes Saturday night.
it is not surprising that the greatest
excitement prevails in circles in which
the leading contestants are known.
Nearly every family in Imperial val
ley is interested in the success of
some candidate in the list, and only
a very few of them have failed to
take an active part in the balloting.
Never before in contest of this ma
ture has such generous spirit been
shown on the part of the public.
Votes Cancelled.
1t is a great disappointment for
contestants who have had votes is
sued them on subscriptions turned in
as new, to have those votes cancelled
when the subscription turns out to be
merely change from the name Of one
member of family to another. The
rule in regard to what constitutes a
new subscription that will entitle a
contestant to double votes has been
laid down and repeated daily in the
contest story for weeks.
New Subscriptions.
A new subscription, to carry extra
votes as such. must constitute bona
fide increase in the circulation of the
paper. Changes from one name or
address to another, stopping the pa
per for while and starting it again,
and similar devices, will not entitle a
contestant to double votes, but will
endanger all votes issued on such sub
scriptions. AS stated in the rules of
the contest, "the right is reserved to
cancel all votes issued on old sub
scriptions turned in as new"
There is probably not a contestant
in the list who has not had the dis
appointment of having votes cancelled
for the above reasons, but in very few
instances have contestants themselves
attempted to gain extra votes by un-

YOUNG DRUG CLERK
DETECTED STEALING

S. M. Tracy, formerly an employe of
one of the local drug stores, is in Jail
as a result of raid on his room at
the corner of Fifth and Brighton, at
which time Under Sheriff Charles APP
plestill found ten boxes of cigars,
large camera outfit, toilet water,
brushes, pennants and other articles.
Tracy came to Ell Centre about two
months ago, securing position in
local drug store and recently the pro-
prietor became suspicious of his ac-
tions, and after watching for several
days, detected the young man in his
operations. Tracy is only 20 years OF
age and gave his home as Galveston,
Texas, but has been in the employ OF
pharmacists on the coast for some
time. The camera outfit was alleged to
have been sold to Japanese yester-
day, the latter, Tracy said, would call
for it; instead the clerk took the pack

Hearing on Salinas-Pecina
Application for Writ Of
Habeas Corpus Today

The hearing on the writ of habeas
corpus by which T. Meza Salinas and
A. M. Pecina hoped to regain their
liberty was before Judge z. B. West
this morning in the superior court,
Attorney Jos. F. Seymour appearing
for the defendants. The defense at
tackled the commitments, manner of
committing, also that defendants had
not violated the conditions of the sus-
pended sentence.
Considerable agitation was preva-
lent regarding the mysterious disap-
pearance of the original commitment.
1t was finally discovered that the doc
ument was not to be filed with the
county clerk, but should remain in
the hands of the custodian of the pris-
oners, viz. Mobley Meadows, sheriff
of the county.
Sheriff Meadows occupied the wit
ness chair and was interrogated re-
garding the commitment, stating that
it was in the possession Of the court.
Deputy County Clerk Thompson, who
acts as court clerk, was summoned to
cIlllSHVcIl tIlc uClcIloC do ~ Vic WACl C
abouts of the original commitment
when it was produced from the papers
filed this morning by Sheriff Meadows.
Judge West ruled that it was essen
tial that the original commitment be
filed with the county clerk, but that
it should be retained by the sheriff as
his authority for holding the defend
ants. All of the allegations in the pc
tition for a writ of habeas corpus
were denied in general by the defend
ants, the court holding that instead of
a general denial, a specifc denial
should be in evidence. This was done
orally by Jos. F. Seymour for the for
mer Mexican officials.
1t is evident that Judge West will
not grant the petition for release of
Salinas and Pecina on a writ of ha-
beas corpus which is now before the
superior court, and the two former
Mexican officials on their return to
the Jail at the noon recess expressed
themselves as prepared to go to work
to serve out the SUSPENDED sentence of
ninety days given by Recorder r. L..
Glabsy of Calexico. s
Judge West declared that the orig
inal commitment was good on it's face
and that Salinas and Pecina had no
chance whatever to regain their lib
erty on the grounds set forth in the
