Vessels Crash
At San Pedro

san PEDRO, March 9.-The
motorship Seakonk and the tanker
La Bee of the General Petroleum
corporation collided in the main
channel here today, but following
the crash were able to make their
way to their respective berths.
Three holes were stove in the bow
of the tanker, one of which was
below the waterline, when loaded,
but as she was entering the harbor
under ballast she was not put out
of commission by the accident, re-
ported to have been brought about
by mistake in engine room signals.
Last minute efforts to avoid the
collision were made from the bridg-
es of both craft, engines were re
versed, minimizing the force of the
crash.
Marine officials announced, after
the vessels were safely berthed,
that both would be surveyed to as
certain the extent Of the damage,
and an effort made to place respon-
sibility.

the subject as thoroughly as | did

The men l refer to are w. w. Me
Euen, vice president and manager
and j. s. Cameron, assistant secre
tary.
Title insurance men earn THEN
money, that 8 sure. AS matter OF
fact, every man is worthy of his
hire. The only thing any of us need
to think about when we pay for
something is whether or not we
have received full value for our ex,

what the other man knows, or for
a certain amount of hard labor he
does. 1t makes no difference.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March @
Evolution VS.. fundamentalism-the
dispute that turned Tennessee topsy
turvy, now promises to make pan
demonium of the California legis-
lature.
Led by Militant Samuei L. Heisin-
ger of Selma, anti-evolutionists of
the state are already drawing bat
tie lines for the conflict before the
assembly education committee next
Tuesday night, over whether Cali
fornia shall abolish the teaching of
evolution in her public schools.
cit is contrary to Christian re-
ligion,' declares Heisinger, for 1t
teaches that there is no God. .
Prominent speakers from the
East, comprising the flying squad
ron of Christian fundamentalism
are on the way to Sacramento for
the hearing, to argue against the
"monkey theory Heisinger an
nounces.
The Rev. Paul Rood of Turlock,
president of the Bryan League of
anti-evolutionists, said to number
mole than 5000 members, will be
here to fire a broadside at the
theory.
An eminent array of scientists
and learned men from all parts OF
the country will appear in defense
of evolution, and indications are
that the senate chambers will hear
history making dispute.
Each side will be given an hour
and half to present it's arguments
and the committee headed by AS
semblyman William Byrne of Los
Angeles will probably wait until =
later meeting to make its decision.
Oppose Hanging
Opponents of capital punishment
had their inning before the joint
committees for revision of criminal
law and procedure last night, when
senators Roy Fellom and T. c..
West, authors of the two antihang-

committee send the measures to the
floor OF the legislature Tor Settle-
ment.
Edward Morrell of Los Angeles,
and Mrs. Genevieve Allen of San
Francisco, president of the league
for abolition of capital punishmeph

A vote of "do pass was given

measures that criminal cases shall
be set not later than 80 days after
the defendant pleads, and the other
makes minor changes in section
of the criminal code.

While attorneys for s. C. Stone, con-

The report of the searcher' IS
preliminary one that is checked
by an examiner who determines
whether there is defect in the
title. When all the tedious routine
of that sort is completed and the
Pioneer Title Insurance & Trust
Company announces it will guaran-
tee title, that guarantee is backed
by 100000 in liquid securities de-
posted with the state treasurer.
This concern represents the high

Gated details, such as frequently in

SALARY INCREASE
| IS OPPOSED BY
COUNTY BOARD

Members of the board of super
visors of Imperial County went on
record yesterday afternoon as op-
posed to an increase in the salaries
of county officials and deputies. A
bill seeking to obtain a raise in sal
aries for county workers is to be
presented in the state assembly
soon and the county clerk was in.
structed to mail copy of the ex-
preston of opposition of the board
to Governor Young and to Assem-
blyman Witter.
The bill affects practically all of
the county offices, raising salaries
in most departments and increasing
the number of deputies in others.
The supervisors in declaring oppos-
ition to the bill pointed out that if
was believed the raise granted the
county officials two years ago was
sufficient to cover any present
needs.
The supervisors also expressed
disapproval of the plan to place
members of the state traffic depart
ment under civil service control.
A resolution asking that the Of
flee of commissioner of labor be
continued in Ell Centre was adopted.
1t had been planned to abolish the
local office but it is expected that
at the request of the board it will
be continued.
The board also approved laying
linoleum on the floors of the court
rooms in the county court house to
do away with unnecessary noises.
Adjournment was taken until the
next regular meeting on March 81
