Amended Complaint
Against Carriers Asks
Half Million

Copy of an amendment to the
complaint filed by the Pacific Coast
Vegetable Growers and Shippers
Transportation committee, with the
interstate commerce commission,
asking for reparations from carriers
on shipments of lettuce made dur
ing the past two years, has been re
ccived from A. f. Barker, chair
man of the committee.
The amendment contains list of
additional complaints against the
carriers, including produce firms in
all parts of the country. This, ac-
cOrding to Mr. Barker, shows the
widespread interest taken by the
trade in backing the efforts of the
committee tn secure reasonable rates
of freight and refrigeration on Cali
fornia prOdnce.
Other states which have joined
with California in urging revision
of the rates, request for which orig
mated in Imperial Valley, are Ari-
zona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming
The reparations asked for by the
shippers amount to over half a mil
lion dollars in addition to the sum
dcmnded i'll the original complaint.

FARM BUREAU MOVES TO PROTEST
MOVE OF CARRIERS TO RAISE The
SHIPPING WEIGHT LETTUCE CRATES

Announcement has been received
by the Imperial Valley Farm Bu-
reau that the latest move of the
carriers is in the form of an effort
to have the average weight Of the
lettuce crate increased from 20 to
IS pounds. AS the matter now
stands, most of the charges arc
made on a basis of 20 pounds to
the crate, and if the carriers arc
successful in bringing about the de-
sired change. it will mean that cv-
erv lettuce shipper will have to pay
transportation charges on approx
imatelv 1000 pounds more weight
on each ear. Taken individually
the amount might not be impressive,
but whom it is considered that thou
sands of ears are shipped during the
season, officials of the farm bureau
point out the fact that the aggre-
gate total is quite amazing.
Walter II. Sprague. attorney for
the farm bureau, is on the job, and
as representative of the farm bu-
reau, has sent the following wire
of protest to the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission in Washington,
D. G. Undersigned respectfully

tain rules offered for promulgation

r. C. Dearborn covering and gov
erning weight of crates of lettuce
or of ice packed therein for pre-

are unfair, unreasonable, discrimin-

on said weights and shipping cOndi-
tions already covered by | and S

and said rules should be suspended

hearing. Further protests said rules
for reason said ice as prcServative

said rules as published and propoS-
ed are discriminatory in favor of
Texas shipping points against Cali
fornia shipping points as covered
by Speiden tariff, of which the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe rail
ways are. parties. Undersigned res
pectfully requests suspension of
promulgation of said rules until de-
termination of I and 2262 and
that said rules if promulgated will
be especially unfair, unreasonable

MAN ACCUSED OF
OLD MURDER IS
GIVEN FREEDOM

Ponciano Trejo, charged with n
murder committed nearly eight
years ago at Brawley, was discharg-
ed yeterday following a preliminary
hearing in that city before Judge
Griffin.
The victim in the crime of which
Trejo was accused, was.Jcsus Reyes.
The men had 4 disagreement, and
there was bad blood between them
for some time. They met one night
in July, 1917, and engaged in a
knife fight, in winch Trejo was the
victor.
According to the testimony given
at the hearing yesterday, through
Dick Cohen, court interpreter, sew
eyal witnesses testified that Reyes
had been the aggreSsOr in the fight
and that Trejo was forced defend
himself.
Following the fight, Trejo fled,
and remained away from the valley
until a few weeks ago, when he
returned. In explanation of his
flight he stated yesterday that he
was ignorant of the law and did
not know that he could not be pun
ished for defending himself from at
tack.
After hearing all testimony, Dis
trict Attorney Utley entered a mo-
tion that the charges against Trejo
BE dismissed, and the court acceded
to the request.

6 ARE STARTED
FROM HERE TO
SUNNY 1T Tally
Undesirable Aliens, One
An Ex-COnvict, Start
Long Trip

Six Italians, whom the immigra
tion service has decided entered this
country illegally, were taken to
INLAND this afternoon by inspectors
from the immigration office, and
placed aboard an eastbound depor-
tation train for Galveston, from
which port they VIII sail for Italy.
Included in the party are Giovan-
III Vargie, Simeone Dalla Riva, Ru-
dulfo Bressan, Domenico Picchietti,
Domenico Bartetti and Francesca
Sanna.
Bartetti is the only one of the
six who could be classed as q cri
minal, the records showing that he
has served two prison terms in
this country Tor murder According
to his story told to the immigration
officials, Bartetti has been in this
country q years, and at one time
was wealthy hotel owner in Chi
cago. He lost his money through 4
fra. and met with one reverse af-
ter another, which made him take
to the road as q tramp and in this
capacity he travelled all over the
country for several years.
Following an argument with q
man in Wisconsin, Bartetti com
mitted murder, and was committed
to the state prison. While there he
committed a felonious assault on q
prison guard, resulting in the lat
ter's death. Bartetti succeeded in
escaping from prison and resumed
his ~anderings.
He was picked up in the valley
several weeks ago, and papers in
his possession led back through his
past trails and revealed him as an
undesirable and illegal alien. Bar
tetti expressed his regret at the
fate which sends him to Italy, but
states that he supposes it is un-
avoidable.
None of the seNtette was enthus
iastic about returning to the old
country, as they believe the United
States is much better than sunny
Italy,

ONE KILLED, TWO
MILLION DAMAGE
In MO. BLAZE
$50 Automobiles Entered
In Annual Show
Destroyed
BY United Press Leased Wire

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Feb. Ii
One fireman was killed and more
than $4,000, 900 damage caused by
fire which swept through the Am
crican royal livestock arena, hous-
ing Kansas City's annual automo-
bile show early today.
Captain John Crane, Go, the old
est captain in the fire department,
was crushed beneath falling walls.
The fire, believed to have origin
atcd from defective wiring, started
shortly after midnight, only q few
minutes after the last Of thousands
Of motor show vsitors had left.
Three hundred and fifty automo-
bilcs Of the latest model were des-
troycd and only the charrcd walls
of the 100000 arena, home Of the
annual livestock show, wtre left
standing this morning.
Thousands of persons watche
the blaze which firomcn were help
less to combat successfully. The
entire fire fighting force Of both
Kansas Cities fought the Flames for
seven hours.
The automobile show was to
have closed tonight.
Flames shot hundreds of feet into
the air as gasoline tanks on many
of the ears exploded. Sirens on the
burning ears shrieked as the insula
tion burned off, causing short cir
cults.
A score of fire companies pump
ed streams of water on-the blazing
building but the fire had gained too
much headway.
Virtually all the automobiles
were fully insured, according to
officials of the slow. Most Of the
ears were to have been shown at
the San Francisco and Boston ex-
hibits within the next few weeks.
The American royal livestock
building was considered one of the
finest of its kind in the country
and was erected in 1929. The floor
area covered seven and one half
acres and the seating capacity was
approximately $4,000.
