3 STILLS, I, MEN
TAKEN IN RAID

To Constable A. A. Starritt OF Cal
ipatria, belongs the credit of making
the first reported raid under the
county dry" act recently passed by
the board of supervisors and effective
now.
Calipatria seems to be fertile field
for the home grown, or common gar
den variety of "bootlegger" and dis
tiller, for the constable and his posse
comitatus captured no less than three
full grown and active stills, large guam
titles of mash and - ingredients fol
the production of the "kick," and like
wise several tubs of powerful stuff
in the way of home brew.
incidentally he also captured seven
prisoners, who are charged with vio-
lation of the little Volstead law.
Constable Starritt, it seems, accord
ing to the reports sent down from the
northern town, was fully aware that
Liquor making" had been going on for
some months in his baliwick, but be-
cause there was no local law, and the
Federal officials were too busy chasing
big fellows elsewhere, he was unable
to take any action.

Geological moment arrived The law
was in effect. The places had Eeer
spotted and kept under surveillance. A

leading citizens were secretly gathered

.UNEMPL PL0YMENT
is GENERAL IN
COMMON LABOR
business Men of State Are On
timistic for Future Despite
Present ,SL0cknesS.

SAN FRANCISCO, July o.
Business men in most of California s
larger cities are optimistic regarding
general conditions, according to a re-
port prepared by the United States de-
patment of labor here.
Portions of the report, covering sew
eral cities of the state, follow:
"San Francisco. = Unemployment
shows little improvement. Some plants
are operating part time, with reduced
forces, while building. and shipping
shows depression owing to industrial
disputes. Retail sales are reduced. A
shortage of women textile workers is
reported. Local business men are op-
timistic.
LOS Angeles. Unemployment,
mostly of common labor, is not SER
ious. A shortage of homes for wage
earners is reported, though building
operations are active. Activity in mo-
tion pictures is less pronounced. OPP
timism prevails generally. Expansion
Of textiles promises an increased de-
mand for women workers. Work pro-
crosses on the Second street tunnel
and an increase of working forces is
expected. Further miscellaneous en-
ployment will be afforded by hydro
electric developments, municipal and
private building and harbor work.
"Sacramento.-Ther is unemploy-
ment in all lines, especially in metals,
unskilled labor and office help, but ex-
tensive building plans promise some
relief. Factories generally are oper-
ating on full time basis. There is
an influx of workers.
"San Diego.-Despite the fact that
industrial conditions generally are
good, there is slight unemployment in
all lines. Important government i'm
provements contemplated include ma
rine railway, naval hospital and train
ing station. Most of the plants are
operating full time, though some can
neries are closed. A shortage of wom-
en- domestics is reported. Steady i'm
provement is looked for"

very doubtful whether such people
have not sunk to the level where their
lives are of no moment to society, and
society has the right to protect itself
by simply putting them out of exist
ence. This has been made doubly so
by the fact that if the death penalty
is not inflicted why there is no punish
ment at all. The fact is that no mat
ter what may have been the good in
tention of the misguided individuals
who prevailed upon the public to enact
such legislation, the result mas been
simply to make our penitentiaries Il
school for crime. We send men to the
penitentiary, and there by close asso.
citation with their fellow criminals they
learn all the ms and outs of the trade
and how to outwit the officers of The
law, and then the prison board turns
them loose on the community to con-
tinue their life of crime with all The
education they have acquired in the
penitentiary at the hands of their fell
low criminals. Such punishments is no
punishment at all. The blood of these
men who have been murdered and the
blood of many others who have been
murdered in our community is on the
heads of the persons who, by their bad
judgment, have made the conditions
as they exist, for every person wno
commits crime will believe he will get
probation or parole, or be sent to the
reform school or something of the kind
and in addition to that they have in
sisted that the penitentiary be made
pleasant and that the inmates be al-
, lowed to mingle socially with one an
other and have their music and thea
tricals and everything of the kind to
make things pleasant, and in fact we
have so far gotten away from the gen.
uine punishment for crime in our pen
itentiaries that they are more like
the Universalists' conception of hell,
something that is perhaps not quite
When they are sufficiently schooled in
crime so they probably wont be caught
again they are turned loose on the
community to pursue their way and
proceed to enact more crimes. 1t is
surprise that under these circum-
stances We find anyone that will sit on
jury and say he is opposed to the in
Fiction of the death penalty. because
any other penalty is nothing. If this
man was sent to the penitentiary fol
life it would only be few years until
the prison parole board would turr
him loose. By that time he would be
genuine educated criminal and il
wouldn't be SO easy to catch him as il
was this time.
With all these circumstances l have
been profoundly impressed. Although
have hesitancy in taking human
life and have at times had some doubt
about the matter, believe that com.
munity would not only have the right
but the community has the duty tC
protect itself, and in order that pos.

HOVELY BEGINS
NEW BATTLE To
KEEP FROM JAIL
RTdtCiey Banker Granted Fire
Days in Which to Present Mo-
ZION to Reopen.

Peter B. Hovely. the brawley banker
and rancher who pleaded guilty to q
violation of the Mann White Slave act
involving an offense against his niece
Mrs. Barbara Staalduynen, and was
sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000 and
spend one year in the Orange county
jail, is making another attempt to es-
cape the Jail sentence.
Under the last extension of time
granted by Attorney General Daugh-
erty, he was to have surrendered him
self yesterday to the United States
marshal, to be taken to the Orange
county Jail at Santa Ana. but instead
he hired new lawyer and began an
other fight for his freedom.
Theodore Stensland appeared at the
chambers of U. S. District Judge Bled-
soc late yesterday afternoon and re-
quested the judge to sign a writ OF
error in the case, asserting that juris-
Obstruction had been improperly as
sumed by the court, and that he pro-
posed to attack the Indictment as tc
its sufficiency.
He was told that it was quite doubt
full whether any extension of time
could be granted to reopen the case
but Mr.. Stensland was given until
next Monday to come into court ane
show cause why the writ of error
should be granted. If he wins this
point the whole case will be reopened
and threshed out again.
In order to permit the attorney ar
opportunity to show his hand in court
Judge Bledsoe gave HoveE another
extension of five days before he must
begin his service behind the bars at
Santa Ana.
1t is something unprecedented to
have a criminal case reopened after
the judgment has been partly salts
fled, which was done when Hovely
paid the fine of $1,000 Hovely pleaded
guilty on the advice of his other at
torney, George H. Woodruff, who re-
tired from the case Yesterday. Attor-
ney Stensland laws stress on the ques-
tion of jurisdiction, and declares he
has authority for his position.

PERSIAN MELONS
IN BIG DEMAND

Persian melons, packed two to the
crate, in excelsior, are being shipped
from the valley in greater numbers
this year than ever before and the
aceeage promises to be steadily in
creased due to the fancy price they
bring. So far the bulk of the ship
ments have gone to San Francisco,
where the demand apparently exceeds
the supply.
Cantaloupe shipments last night for
the day were 16 cars, bringing the to-
al for the season from NIrsperial Val
ley to lO,5S9. Fourteen cars of water
melons and seven cars of grapes al
so were shipped out yesterday.
The express section of the night
train frequently runs out as a second
section of the passenger train on ac-
count of the big grape movement by
express.

Possibility of the San Bernardino

Tennessee as the habitat of moon
shine" is suggested by officers who
have been tracking manufacturers of
illicit liquors in these parts. Officers
say they know at least half a dozen
big, well equipped stills are located in
the San Bernardino range. A recent
discovery was of a complete electrical
plant still with 25 gallons of whisky
and 200 gallons of mash in a mountain
cabin above Bear Lake. Later, an
other was located toward Painted

The Court feels very keenly the res
possibility that is put upon it by the
defendant having thrown himself upon
the mercy of the Court, and it is an
easy matter for the Court to pro-
nOunce Judgment when it is simply
the judgment in the law provided, it
is therefore simply pronouncing the
judgment which is forordained as the
judgment of the law, but when the
defendant, as in this case, throws him.
self on the mercy Of the Court, it is
n matter the Court cannot consider
lightly and that the Court has not con-
sidered lightly. He has given the mat
ter considerable thought. l also feel
keenly the responsibility that is placed
on me because l appreciate the posi-
ton of counsel in the matter. l be-
lieve that counsel has done his entire
duty to his client and to the state as
we'll. Under the peculiar circumstance
es of this case he could not have done
anything else. At the same time, l
cannot help but believe that it is my
duty to consider the matter from the
standpoint of the public, entirely apart
from my own personal feeling or my
sympathy for the defendant, and es-
pecially my sympathy for the defen-
dant's counsel and the position in
which he is placed. That matter must
be determined solely from the stand
point of the circumstances of the case
surrounding the murder, and the in
tent of the law with respect to the
possible prevention Of such crimes in
the future.
When man starts out to commit
robbery and takes a gun in his hand,
he knows and he necessarily must in
tend, if resistance is offered, that he
is going to commit murder. For that
reason the law denominates all nav
ders corrriitted in that manner, Ear
der in the first degree, and it is no de-
fense for the man, having taken a gun
in his hand and placed himself in a
position where if resistance was Of
fered he really was bound to kill or be
killed, to then say he didn't intend to
kill anyone. l don't know whether the
defendant contemplated it would be
necessary to kill or not when he en-
tered into the conspiracy to rob the
Cinnamon but he did intend to rob
them and it is the intention of the law
that robbery should be prevented nc
less than that murder should be pre-
vented.
These two Cinnamon We're useful
members of society. Only a very short
time ago l remember seeing them, one
of them, full of life and happy in the
fact that he was about to enter upon
the supreme service of his country He
gave that service to his country, re-
turned to his place of business only to
be shot down in cold blood for the pur-
pose of getting little money that he
had made by his toll, industry ano
saving. These men who killed were
unwilling to bear the burdens OF so
ciety and were unwilling to toll fol
their sustenance, and sought only to

The people Of Vermont would gladly

the Senator does not desire another
