IMPORTANT
N { { I | n G
Proposed Legislation Likely
to Injure Trucking Busi-
ness. State and County
Associations Get TOgeth-
=. er for Mutual Protection.

AS result of meeting of the Cali
fornia State Draymen's association
held in Los Angeles Saturday night, an
additional session of the association
will be held in this city at Davis hall
Wednesday morning at $40 o'clock.
Executive officers of the state as
sociation together with officers and
members of most of the county asso-
Citations in Southern California are ex-
pected to arrive this evening and to-
morrow morning.
1t is understood that the purpose of
the meeting here is to impress upon
the local membership, which is 800,
and incidentally the largest county or
ganiZation in the state of California,
the serious situation which will con-
front them as draymen providing GER
tain legislation which the enemies of
the truckmen propose to put through
the next session of the state legisla-
ture.
Measures compelling the draymen
to operate at night only, limiting their
tonnage to such minimum as would
prohibit them from operating on a
profitable basis, compelling them to
use trailers, and numerous ether regu-
lations which are extremely odious to
the draymen are only a few of the
proposed regulations which the assu.
citation proposes to fight.
1t is planned to raise a fund for
proper publicity and to carry on the
expense of systematic campaign
against unfair legislation against the
tluckmen.
C. w. Curphey, president of the I'M
rerial Valley branch of the associa-
ton, stated to a Press representative
this morning that the draymen are
perfectly willing that there should be
Just road regulations and that any rul-
ings which were fair to everyone con-
cerned the membership would be only
too glad to observe. However" said
Mr.. Curphey, "whenr it is proposed to
force us to work at night only, and
when our tonnage is cut down to an
impossible maximum, we think it is
time to fight"
Percy Thacker of the Pioneer Trans
fer company Is treasurer of the locnt
branch and Eugene D. White is secre-
tary and manager.

Terhune eliminated today a f t e L
months of rock fights in the dispatch

trial by jury, These, and other con-
ditions involving charges against Of

been outlined in reports forwarded
to the navy department and form the
basis upon which the natives request
that the president send commission
to the island to investigate conditions
In defense of Governor Teerhune' S
administration, his representative
contend that Lieutenant Commander
c. H. Boucher, who came here in May
as captain of the yard and second in

And after Chappie had purchased a
pure pint of unpumped milk! So the
day wore on, and night came.
So the shadows of night lifted and

And still Chappie sighed a sigh of
deep and unrequited fatherly feeling.
But in the very midst of his deepest

did beat most mournful 'galnst his
printers apron, then did hope be born
anew within him. -
For. Lo!
From out the dusky muskness of a
hidden way came this, a proud sight
to the fathers eye:

And then, his heart beat joyfully,

cause of the speed of the machines

The escape of the prisoners was
one of the most daring reported in

with the act. A hole was cut in the
stockade barely large enough for a
man to work his way through, and
from all indications the prisoners
spent considerable time in cutting
their way to freedom, and while the
sentry, whose post extends all the
way around the stockade, was on the
opposite side they crawled through
the hole, each on succeeding trips of
the sentry, and made their way into
