Register is still in serious con-.
dition at the hospital with his
chances for recovery exceedingly
doubtful IN the event of his
death, the police state n charge of
murder will be brought against
Conway. The latter is accused of
administering the drug to Register,
and admits selling drugs to the lat
ter, though he denies that he ad-
ministered the dose which may prob
ably cost Register his life.
Following Registers arrival at
the hospital, tine police department
began to make Investigations as

RAILROADS PLAN
new FIGHT ON
LETTUCE ICING
New Move Planned to
Increase Rates on
Shipments

That the railroads are determined
to wage a new fight in the dry icing
ease is evidenced by information re
ceivcd today from the Pacific Coast
Vegetable Growers and Shippers
transportation committee, which
states that a. new amendment by
the carriers, carrying Il much in
creased rate, is contemplated.
This new move will have virtually
the same effect in raising rates as
previous measures which have been
fought by growers and shippers
from Imperial Valley and the coast
section, and will necessitate a new
and bitter fight to prevent the
rates being carried out.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has now before il briefs and all
data in connection with a previous
amendment filed with it last win
ter and on which a suspension was
granted to the shippers. The deei-
sion in this case was to have been
given June 9 but the commission
still has the case under advisement.
newest effort of the carriers as re-
leased by the transportation commit
tee Of the Pacific Coast Vegetable
Growers and Shippers, is rs follows;
''Our committee is advised that

This means very considerable
increase in transportation charges

pared with previous charges. 1t in

eastern cities would show an in
crease of S6l.60 per car. On ears

portation charge $5l,39 per ear.
1.-The carriers propose that these
rates remain in effect for II months
from August - next.
''Some of the lettuce growers and
shippers in the Imperial Valley have
made very good money ON their
shipments during the past season,
but we are confident that if they
would take into account additional
freight charge ranging from $5l,39
to S6l,6O per ear, they would find
their profits changed into losses.
The Pacific Coast = Vegetable
Growers and Shippers committee
has been fighting the various at
tempts of the carriers to increase
the transportation charges on ship
ments from the Imperial Valley and
other California districts for nearly
year, and if is very evident from
the manner in which the carriers
continue to propose new imposts ON
the vegetable industry, that some
one win necessarily be required to
be on the job all the time.

SINGH IS GIVEN
10 YEARS TO LIFE
TERM In PRISON
Possibility Second Trial
May Never Be
Held

Parker Singh, convicted last week
for second degree murder, will un-
doubtedly spend the remainder of
his days in San Quentin prison, hav-
ing been sentenced in the superior
court yesterday afternoon by Judge
Cole to serve from 10 years to life
at the state prison for the murder of
Victor r. Sterling. The court added
that he would recommend that
Singh serve the maximum term, this
to be determined by the state pri-
son board.
Singh, who was in court with his
attorney, Edgar b. Hervey, for the
purpose of having sentence passed
on him, made no comment on the
sentence. Hervey had just been de-
MED motion for a new trial, when
Singh took the witness stand to
have sentenced passed on him.
The Hindu answered the questions
of the court in Il low voice, and at
times smiled as if something that
was asked seemed humorous to him.
There was nothing of the murderer
about his in appearance.
After Judge Cole had concluded
imposing the sentence, he stated
that the second murder charge
against Singh, for the killing of
John B. Hager, would have to be
disposed of Monday. From the
court s statement that he would re-
commend life Imprisonment, and
/ this latter statement, it is behev
! ed that the second charge against
] Singh will be dismissed, though Dis
Z trict Attorney UtIey stated earlier
in the week that he proposed to try
/ Singh for Hager s murder, in the
! hope of getting a first degree yer.
! diet.
Cruel Double Murder
Sterling and Hager were killed
I about $50 on the night of April /
following an argument with Singh
with whom they were associated in
Il lettuce deal. The murders took
place about five miles east of Cali.
! patria on a ranch where the men
were raising lettuce. Following the
killings, Singh drove into Calipat-
ria and attempted to kill William
Thornberg, also connected with the
! lettuce deal, but the Himdu's gun
failed to 90 off and he was over.
/ powered and placed under arrest.
! The next day the grand jury in.
( dicted Singh for murder on two
| counts. His trial started on June
], and following a week given to
the choosing of jury. the case
! proceeded. No testimony in Singh :
/ behalf was offered by the defense
and though District Attorney Utley
made plea for first degree yer
I diet, the jury returned one of see
/ ond degree. O. V. Wilson of Los
Angeles was associated with Her
vey i'll defending Singh.
Hervey intimated Yesterday thai
{ the case may be appealed, though he
| was not ready to state so definitely
f until the second murder charge ha,
been disposed of.
! A five day stay of execution wa,
granted Singh by Judge Cole on
Hervey's request, to enable the

1T ia quite possible the village

River, crossed the divide coming
down the Colville River II such
was the case it would be natural
they would build camp or village
for a substation during the march

learned about this battle as the
survivors were shortly after wiped
