Mr.. Wilson is we'll known in this

KEEP THE

Let's keep baseball clean, fellows,

ment or your favorite team with your
money do it in nice, quiet way.
This is a pretty fast age we are living
in and if gambling is openly Haunted
in the face of the hundreds of young

HINDU
ORGANIZATION
DLsM |SSES.
SEVEN CASES
President of the Newly-Or7
ganized Reform Society
Tells of Results Achieved
in Few Weeks Time.

The Hindustani Welfare and Re-
form Society, which has been organ
lied and is now working hard on the
matter of correcting the conditions
in the Valley with reference 20 the
Hindoo race, is having good success.
Up to the present time, seven civil
cases, which were on the docket of
the Superior court, have been set
tied bv the societv'S committee out
of court.
The committee have further in
structed the Hindoo men to keep out
of town, except when necessary bus
mess brings them in. Their absence
from the various towns has been no
ticed during the past month. The
members are also receiving instruc-
tions in keeping accounts, and in
American wavs and customs. Speak
ing of the situation, Asa Singh, pres
ident of the society, said:
"The organization has carefully no
ticed the report made by the Farm
Bureau, but respectfully asks to make
sofe corrections on the same. III
summing up, the investigators de
clare that the Hindoos "cannot be-
come citizens, cannot own land, will
not bring wives, have too many cases
in court, and send all their money
home
"Answering the first allegation
that Hindoos cannot became citizens
attention is respectfully called to,
the ruling of Judge Bledsoe OF Los
Angeles in the District Court of the
United States, wherein he says that
thte Hindoo is a member of the Aryan
race and therefore is entitled to citl-
zenship; the same has been held by
Judge Rudkin of Spokane, by Judge
Neterer of Seattle and by one OF
the Judges of the court at San Fran
cisco.
LAS to the ownership of land--a
number of the Hindoos throughout
the state have fee simple title to va
rious pieces of land in several coun
ties, attention being called especial
ly to S. Tara Singh, who owns hum
dreds of acres in San Joaquin coun-
ty, and to the fact that the Tide
water Southern Railway has sold
several sections of land along its
right of way to Hindoos.
can examination of the immigra
ton law will show that it is impOS
sible for the Hindoos to bring their
wives and families into the United
States, and ne so per cent of
the local Hindoos are married and

COAST MARKET
ON PEAS BREAK

Icwered prices for peas as Los
AnooIes while one-third of the crop
;s still n the fields, is the result OF
promisluous topping by growers, VINO
sell ii open market, by the sac1ui,
and sell to distributors, who do not
prade them, but who ship by the sack
70 Los Angeles, where the peas are
sold and dealers receive three-fourths
of sack of perfect peas, with one
fourth flat, undeveloped peas or un-
salable goods on the bottom, Accord.
inc to Horticultural Ccmmissioraf
Waite. ...,l--..
Grading is necessary and is a. part.
of the packing process when peas are
shipped for any distance, since they
must be carefully culled and packed
in ice. Hence only perfect peas are
going east, and Imperial Valleys rep
utation has not been injured in east
ern markets. For shipments to Los
Angeles peas can be transported in
sacks as purchaed. without the ex-
penive grading process, but after the
dealer or the buyer has received a
few sacks containing three-fourths
cf what he paid full price for, he
hesitates about paying that much for
the same article again, and puts his
price on the next such shipments at
two-thirds of what he paid before.F
1t is this that has broken the mar
ket for Imperial Valley peas, says
Mr.. Waite, and his statement is COR
roborated by various buyers.
Besides the loss of one-third Of the
former price per pound, they are los
ing he freight or express charges on
the inferior one-third of all the sacks
they send ungraded, he says.
Peas purchased under contract are
graded and the unfit portions of the
purchase charged back to the grow
er, but in the open market the grow
er can build or break the reputation
and consequently the market for a
producing section.
Steps are being taken to secure
regulations for peas similar to those
governing the tomato industry. If
this is accomplished, next years mar
last will not break while one-third of
the years crop is still in the fields,
says the commissioner.
AS the law now stand. there is a
statute to prevent misrepresentation
of an yarticle, but this is applicable
more to the quantity of the products
than to the quality. IA present the
one is for the distributors to inspect
every sack. This has been done by
some of the distributors here for the
pat week. Misrepresentation of the
quality Of he product is cause for
suit by the purchaser, but this is not
practical usually.
Tomatoes, cantaloupes, strawber-
ries and onions are now under state
Standardization laws, and Morticul-
tural Commissioner Waite is assur-
ing the distributors that he will make
every effort to secure standardization
laws protecting peas and lettuce as
well as the other vegetables.
