CAN'T CONVICT If
JURY HEARS CASE
OFFICIAL CONTENDS

AS a result of jury acqutting Y.
Yokota, Japanese cantaloupe grower
accused of packing and attempting to
ship green cantaloupes, in Judge May
field 8 court yesterday, B. ii. Harrigan,
assistant horticultural commissioner
charged this morning that there is 4
co ncerted action on the part of Jap
anese growers, backed by the Japanese
break down the inspection laws of Cal
ifornia and make it possible to ship
inferior produce. He cited the ease of
Yokota as fragrant violation of in
spection laws, saying the man had been
in court several times for the same Of
fense, on one occasion paying a 800
fine.
Immediately after leaving the court,
YOkota went to his ranch and proceed
ed to pack more green melons, which
were confiscated by inspectors from the
horticultural commissioner s office, and
a new warrant sworn out for his ar
rest.
According to Mr.. Harrigan, the horti-
cultural commissioner has had II cases
of violation of the inspection laws be-
county, each of which has resulted in
conviction. In five cases where trial
by jury was demanded, the state has
failed to obtain conviction, although
the evidence, according to Harrigan,
showed that the violator was guilty In
his opinion, it is impossible to get
juries to bring in conviction and he
stated this action would ultimately re-
suit in breaking down the inspection
laws.
Harrigan complimented white grow
ers of the valley, saying they realized
that inspection of cantaloupes is for
their own good and cooperated with the
horticultural commissioner in every
way. He claimed few of the Japanese
own land in Imperial county and have
no regard for the future welfare of the
valley, their sole object being to get
the money and depart. The white
grower, realizing that the future of the
cantalOupe industry depends upon the
quality of produce shipped, takes care
to see that none but the highest grade
melons are shipped and when informed
by inspectors that certain fruit is not
up to standard, Immediately destroys
it.
japanese insist on trying to beat the
inspectors at every turn, and have
reached the point now where they be-
lieve an acquittal is sure if they de.
mand jury trial and are making this
demand in every ease, said Harrigan.
This does not explain the action Of
Juries in acquitting the japanese, it is
said. That is the unsolved part of the
mystery.
Inspectors were sent to locate Yokota
thi safternoon and bring him into court
for trial

UNION PACIFIC OPENS
MERGER FIGHT,

SAN FRANCISCO, July Tt is not
within the power of the interstate
commerce commission to recombine the
Central Pacific and Southern Pacific
systems, recently ordered unmerged by
the United States supreme court, Fred
G. Athearn, counsel for the Union Pa
cific system, declared today in speech
before the Commonwealth Club.
He charged that when the Southern
Pacific planned to sell the Central to
the Union Pacific in 1913, President
William Sproule testified before the
State Railroad Commission that Cali.
fornia would benefit through COMPETE
tion of rail systems in Central and
Northern California. He said all of the
imaginary difficulties" now being
urged by the Southern Pacific were
then quickly smoothed out.
Athearn declared ''there would be
competition in service.''
"Northern and Central California,
because of lack of competition, have
never had this kind of service during
the control of the Central Pacific by
the Southern Pacific. They would do
well to take leaf from the book of
Los Angeles, where three competing
lines tap the territory"

aimed at the morale of strike breakers,
was launched here today by relatives
of the 1000 striking shopmen of the
Pennsylvania lines here. The women,
carrying babes in their arms, picketed
the shops as the strike breakers made

ing Of strike breakers at all.
Fruit Shipment in Danger
The companies in their statement,
say that 875 shopmen are out in addi-
tion to the ice. plant crew, that most
of these are foreigners carrying arms
and hard to restrain and that almost
the entire male population of Roseville
sympathizes with the strikers.

ing to return to work if proper protec-
tion could be given them, the compan-
les claim. They estimate that fruit
worth 100000 is in jeopardy if men
cannot be secured to handle it at once.
In his refusal to grant the request,
Governor Stephens says:
''It is the sheriff's duty to see that
the fruit is not held up by unlawful
forces. Troops will not be sent to any
district until it is shown that peace
officers have exhausted their own pow
ers to preserve order"

clared itself unable to cope with the
situation and calling on the sheriff to
preserve order. Sheriff Gum says that

sympathizers he is unable to recruit
sufficient deputies to handle the mob
