THE ISSUE IN CALIFORNIA.

i At the convention of Republicans in San Fran
cisco Saturday the sandpat crowd stood pat ON the pro-
posal that there should be compromise with pro-
gressives
1t seems to the Press that that is proper There is
no common ground on which the old Republican machine
of California and the Republicans Of progressive Ideals
can stand The former would return the state and the
nation to the domination of the great corporations from
which the progressves have freed California at least
The progressves of the Republican party undoubt-
edly now will put ticket in the field as the salwarts
have DONE and the Republicans OF California will decide
whether they will re-estabsh the old machine and the
old corporation regency.
The Press does not know what the Progressive pro-
gram is to be- But it is certain that the Progressves
either as separate party wing Of the Republican
party will do their utmost to prevent return to the
order Of affairs of halfdozer years ago.
Already the standpat crowd is beginning to lam
baste those who expected to attempt to elect pro-
gressive delegates the national convention Said Cap
tain Fredercks late candidate for governor Of the
gressive wing
"If they attempt to break in and burglarize the
house. they will find that amply able to protect

Mayor A w. Swanson today is in
recent of communication from Dep
.utv Labor Commissioner George F,
Gray. stating that The city trustees ae-
tion in allowing a nine-hour day on
the sewer work on account of its emer-
gency nature has been upheld by state
Commissioner of Labor John p. Nc
, Laughliu.
when the city trustees recently de-
clared the sewer construction work TO
be an emergency under the provisions
of Ehe state eight-hour law thereby
allowing the contractor nine-hour
day, some opposition developed and
the question was referred to the state
commissioner of labor.
The communication received this
morning follows:
san Diego, Cal, March s, 1876
A. w. Swanson, President of the
Board of Trustees, City of Ell Centre
Sir: In the matter of the investiga-
ton made by this office in the sewer
emergency case in Ell Centres:
You are advised that the whole mat
ter was fully reported by me TO the
state commissioner of labor, John P.
McLaughlin, san Francisco. with the
following recommendation attached to
the report:
"'I would respectfully recommend
that the action Of The City Trustees of
Ell Centre. in declaring emergensy con-
6itions, should be considered as being
iustifiable under all the circumstances
as / have found them.
GEORGE f. GRAY,
Assistant Deputy Commissioner of
Labor
"The Commissioner of Labor, under
date of March 8, 1916, advises me that
he has accepted my report and recon-
mendation.
Your trustees are advised that my
report and Recommendation were based
on the result of my Investigations of
the sewer conditions of the cities OF
Ell Centre and Imperial. These insan
itary conditions in both cities have
been known to me for some time, but
Y was convinced beyond any doubt

Action of City Trustees

when / investigated personally on my
last trip to the valley, that extreme
measures, to safeguard the health of
your people were justifiable in every
way.
"The assurances given to me by rep
rescntatives of both city governments,
and by the sewer contractor, that there
was no desire or inclination whatever
to evade or disregard any of the pro-
visions of the state law regarding pub
lie works have been accepted In good
faith.
The stand taken by this office In
precedent for any other case or as an
indication that there will be any let
up in the enforcement of the state
laws affecting the hours and conditions
Of labor on public works.
Your trustees are reminded that, in
every case, where work is done for the
cities or other governing bodies. the
hours of labor are eight and no more,
unless under extreme cases of emer-
gency-'fire, flood, or danger to life
and property'-and in every contract
made by the city. county or other
governing body where the work is
paid for with public funds, stipu-
lation must be made binding the con-
tractor to eight hours, and the cities
or governing bodies will be held re-
sponsible for the enforcement of the
penalties provided in the law for vio-
lations. Respectfully yours,

Various Forms
Of Headache

''It 10 necessary in order TO treat head
aches properly to understand the causes
which produce the affection" says DR.. ]. w.
Ray, of Blockton. Ala. Continuing, he says,
Physicians cannot even begin the treat
ment OF a disease without knowing what
causes give rise to IL, and We must remem-
Der that headache is to be treated accord
ing to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to give q remedy intended to
counterfeit the cause which produces the
headache, but we must also give a remedy
to relieve the pain until the cause of tn g
trouble has been removed. To answer this
purpose, antf-kamnfa tablets will be found
a most convenient and satisfactory remedy.
One tablet every one to three hours gives
comfort and rest in the most severe cases
of headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headaches of women"
When we have patient subject TO regular
attacks of sick headache, We should caution
him to keep his bowels regular, for which
nothing is better than "Actoids.' and when
he feels the least sign of an oncomfng at
tack, he should take two AK Tablets. Such
patients should always be Instructed to
carry a few antf-kamnia tablets, SO as to
have them> ready for instant use. These
tablets are prompt in action and can be
depended on to produce relief in . very
few minutes. Ask for AK Tablets.
Anti-kamnia tablets at all druggists.

MISTAKE MAYBE

a break in relations if Germany's case
is shown to be too weak.
The text of the message said the fol-
lowing results were shown by the Ger
man investigations:
ION the morning of November 6 the
German submarine encountered a
large steamer coming from the Cergi
straits, 100 nautical miles west of the
island of Cerigo
1.-THE steamer was painted black and
had black superstructure and not, as
ais otherwise the case with P. and Q.
line superstructure. in light color.
Steamer Dodged on Course.
The steamer, which was identical
with the Arabia, was not travelling on
the route regularly used by the pas
senger steamers between. Port Said
and Malta, as is made plain on the
enclosed map, but was taking zigzag
course toward the west, 100 nautical
miles north of that route; this course
on which the submarine had passed
three similar steamers, at the same
spot on the same morning, leads from
the Aegean to Malta, so that the Ara
bia was moving on the Parigo-M Malta
transport route used solely for war
purposes, according to the expert
enceS until now.
1.-The commander of the submarine
further ascertained that there were
large numbers of Chinese and other
colored persons in their national cos
tune on board the steamer; he con-
sidered them to be workmen soldiers
such are used in great numbers be-
hind the front by the enemies of Ger
many. In spite of the clear weather
and careful observation the COM
mander did not perceive any women
and children.
Asks U. S. for Data.
I'm these circumstances the COM
mander of the submarine was con-
WINGED that in the case of this steamer
he was concerned with a transport
ship for troops in the service of the
British government which had to be
considered as an auxiliary warship ac
cording to international law and
therefore was treated like a warship.
He accordingly considered himself
justified in attacking the steamer
without delay and sank it.
Should the American government
give the official data showing that the
Arabia was at the time of the torpedo
ing an ordinary passenger steamer,
the action of the commander would
not have been in accordance with the
instructions given him, since these in
structions are now, as before, in agree
ment with the assurances of the Ger
man note of May. 1916.
A Rcgrettablc Mistake
This would then be case of re-
grettable mistake from which the Ger
man government WOuiO RIOInRtiy
draw the appropriate consequences"
Secretary Lansing refused to COM
ment on the note.
The state department has said pri-
vately all along that the Arabia was
the main case upon which future
American-German relations would de-
pend.
It was pointed out that Germany
emphasized the fact that her COM
mander was still under orders to fol-
low international law as demanded by
the United States in it's second note.

MURDER CASE UP
Court Investigating Death of
Ed Bennett in City Jail.
Campbell, Another Prisoner,
Admits Hitting Dead Man.

Ed Bennett. maltreated in the city
Jail last summer, is dead and buried.
but one witness after another is TAX
ing the stand in the first division of
the district court in the attempt of the
state to fix the blame for Bennett s
death. Richard Campbell, a prisoner
with Bennett at the time of the mall
treatment, is charged with second de-
gree murder. He is charged with
striking the blow which indirectly
caused death.
Bennett was arrested and placed in
the city Jail for drunkenness. He lay
upon a table for a time, then fell off.
Later there was fight in the Jail,
during which Bennett was struck both
by Campbell and by Clifford Frost,
another prisoner. Bennett was then
placed in a bunk Other prisoners
thought he was merely intoxicated.
Along towards morning prisoners no
ticed he was breathing too rapidly and
reported to the jailer. He called DR..
H L. Clark. city physician. Clark ex-
amined the man and called for DR..
Merrill Lindsay While he was tele-
phoning, Bennett died from frac-
tured skull.
Fight Investigated.
For a time it was generally believed
that Bennett fractured his skull when
he rolled off the table, then rumors of
the fight in the bull pen" reached the
officers and an investigation was
started. A preliminary hearing re-
suited in the holding of Richard
Campbell and Clifford Frost for Ben
nett's death.
Campbell admitted on the stand to-
day that he struck Bennett without
provocation.
"A prisoner named Jennings put
hot Goals on him while he was asleep
said Campbell, and Bennett raised up
and started for Jennings Jennings
had a shovel in his hands and he kept
Bennett off by swinging that in front
of him. AS Bennett went past me ]
struck him in the back of the head
Campbell stated that he did not see
Clifford Frost hit Bennett but other
witnesses have testified that Frost did
hit him and knock him down. At the
preliminary the state attempted to
show that Benefits skull was frac-
tured when he fell after Frost struck
him.
