GRAND JURY TO ACT
Draft Board Finds Concerted Plan for
Exemption AfIidavits.

San Francisco, Aug. 6.-John L.
McNab, chairman of an exemption
board in San Francisco, made public
today a letter addressed to ]. W. Pres
ton, United States district attorney,
urging the latter to take official cog
nizance of what he alleged to be a
concerted plan to hinder the progress
of the selective draft. Mr.. McNab,
former United States district attorney,
directed attention to certain affidavits
presented in support of exemption
claims. The affidavits, he said were
in similar form, and indicated the ex-
istence of a plan to combat the selec-
tive draft. He stated that the board
had refused to file the papers and by
unanimous vote had decided that they
be forwarded to the district attorney.
The board delivered the papers, the
letter continued, with recommends
tons that the claimants and the per-
son who drew up their aff1davits be
held to the federal grand jury for in
dictment for conspiracy to violate the
draft and statutes

ELKS HOLD OLD FORM
b. p. o. Els Defeat knights of Column
bus by Two Runs.

Try as they may. there are few fol-
lowers of the Knights OF Columbus
baseball team who can find way
to avoid admitting that the Elks have
a better ball club today, the Abbott
B. p. o. Els having made it three out
of four Sunday afternoon when they
triumphed by the score of to A.
Altho it did not go into extra innings
as two of the former games between
these clubs did, Sundays contest was
a good exhibition of the national
pastime and was featured by many
good plays and displays. At the start
it appeared that the knights would
have easy sailing after they had made
counters in the first inning. But
Grindel was supplanted by Simpson
and not a Knight crossed the home
rubber after the first three outs.
Boeger, the new pitcher Brennan
has signed, failed to live UP to his
reputation. The Elks did not score
until the sixth frame, but, after break
ing the ice with one run they came
back in the seventh with four scores
and cinched the contest with their
final run in the eighth. The score:
Elks 900 O0I 410-G
knights .....40 400 900 900
Batteries: Grindel, Simpson and
Moore; Neville, Boeger, DauGherty

The Red Sox of 1912 finished witt
ninety-two points the best of the run

point lead July Is. The 1913 Ath-
Ietics were cut down from ia points
to forty-three points. and the follow
ing year increased the lead they held
in rnid-season. The White Sox were
leading the American league in mid
season of 1915, only to be beaten out
by Boston, and the same held good for
the Yankees of last year.
Who will win the penants this year?
The dope sheet" indicates that the
Giants are sure winners in the older
league and favors the Red Sox in the

the advantage of breaks which the
Red Sox enjoyed in 1915 and 1916,

IMPERIAL VALLEYS MAKESHIFT.

The great Imperial Valley is having an awful lot or trouble in convincing the farmers that they ought to sign the petition asking for vote on the proposed Ooooo bona issue as plainly shown by all the Imperial Valley papers. They have now been at work for about three months effort to obtain the necessary signatures calling the bond
 election and yet they away short of the number ot names and the acreage required by law to submit the matter to vote Whether they will get enough names to the pet- ton is matter of conjecture and at the same time ot grave concern the future welfare of that splendid section of ricultura lands
 The trouble seems to lie in the fact that considerable proportion of the farmers of Imperial Valley clamorng for an a American cana which would naturally have to connect with Laguna dam In fact it is safe to that if petition circulated asking the farmers to submit the Laguna dam proposition to vote 1t would be signed almost overnight for connected with the Laguna dam lm peria Valleys shortage trouble would be forever at an end As long those in authority in Imperial Valley persist in depending upon makeshitts just so long will Imperial Valley reap disaster year after year.

immigrants. That is proved by the
fact that there are fewer Japane-
In the country than there were in
1907.
These facts cannot be too strongly
impressed upon the American public,
Tor unfortunately there are some
American publicists and lawmakers
who are constantly harping upon
their own assumption that Japan Is
bent to force the issue of unrestricted
immigration of her subjects into this
land.
Only One Complaint.
THAT is not true.
"our only complaint is that some
Japanese on the west coast are some
times harshly treated and denied
rights and privileges which are ac-
corded to other aliens around them
and to Japanese in more happy quar-
ters of the land.

Japan wants from the United States
and all she will ever want, is justice
