DIGGS AND ChItKETTI
BOUND FOR PRISON

SAN FARNCIsCo, March 1s.-The
prison sentence OF Maury 1. Digs to
TWO years and of Drew Caminetti to 10
months for violation Of the Mann act
In taking Marsha Warrington and
Lola Norris to Reno nearly two years
ago, was confirmed today by q de-
cisicn Of the United States circuit
court Of appeals.
The only recourse of the defendants
now is the United States supreme
court on points of law. The higher
court never reviews issues Of fact.
One Judge Dissents.
The opinion was delivered by Pre-
siding Judge Gilbert and was concur
red in by Judge Wolverton. Judge
Erskine NJ. Ross dissented.
Diggs and CamInetti were tried and
convicted before United States Dis.
trict Judge William G.. Van Fleet in
1912 for the transportation of Lola
Norris and Marsha Warrington from
Sacramento. Cal, to Reno, New, for
immoral purposes.
The case was taken to the higher
court on a writ of error.
The opinion handed down today
holds that the prosecution had a right
to comment upon the fact that Diggs
was silent upon the movements of the
four principals after they left Sacra.
mento. and that 1t was proper for the
jury to consider this silence as an in
dication of guilt or innocence.

MR.. LOCUE NOT IN FIGHT
TO Assist DR.. COOPER

James Logue. who was reelected a
member of the Board Of Education on
Saturday, today denied that he had
taken any part directly or indirectly in
the First ward fight in behalf Of the
election of Dr. +. D. Cooper. Mr.. Logue
said he had not spoken TO a single per
son or worker in behalf of DR.. Cooper,
nor did he engage any workers to as
sist in electing Dr. Cooper, he said. Mr..
Logue feels that the impression that he
had taken a hand in the First ward

GROCERY Stores TO CLOSE
ON THURSDAY Afternoons

George M. Dunlap Company,
grocers with several stores in this
city. have withdrawn their order to
keep their stores open on Thursday
afternoons during the summer and
their stores will be closed along with
other groceries on that afternoon
each week during the summer
Il has been the almost general prac-
tice in the grocery and provision
stores of this city during the past
ten years TO grant this summer half
holiday and the news recently that
the Dunlap chain Of stores had re-
ceived orders TO remain open came
as a surprise, for the buying public
has been glad to adapt themselves TO
this custom in order that the clerks
and delivery boys might have a much
needed half-holiday during the hot
summer weather.
On hearing that the Dunlap stores
were not to have the holiday. the
Consumers League undertook a
campaign to prevent this breaking up
Of good local custom. for they knew
that other provision stores. though
desiring TO close. would be forced TO
remain open also. Believing that the
feeling In favor OF the half-holiday
was strong among the customers Of
the Dunlap stores, the Consumers
League had begun to circulate petit
tions 10 be signed by these customers
protesting against the action OF the
Dunlap stores In refusing the half
holiday this summer The fact that
over two hundred signatures had been
secured to the petition in one day
showed that the people Of Whining
ton give their hearty approval to this
half-holiday custom, and desire 10 see
the practice extended rather than
: broken up. Members OF the Consum-
ers' League are pleased that the
Dunlap stores have so graciously
fallen in with the other grocers for
the half-holiday
The Consumers League Is now in
terestod In seeing that the few other
provision stores which have not
adopted this practice Of a summer
half-holiday be urged 70 join the
ranks of the progressive merchants
who realize not only that they lose
no trade but on the other hand that
they increase the efficiency and In
terest of their employees.
