His story Is that he had conferred
with Carranxa regarding general condi

considerable scandal had arisen. Hardly
had he left Carranza's presence when

Los Angeles, May 2. (U. P.) The
Japanese village north of Santa Mon

slide two weeks ago, was practically
destroyed by fire before daylight to
day. Five hundred Japanese. Russians
and Finns, fishermen, are homeless.
The fire started from a kerosene
lamp breaking in a lodging-house. A
number of the Japanese made a valiant
effort to check the conflagration by
.forming a bucket brigade between the
- ocean and the flames. Their efforts
were useless. There were no casual
ties, it was reliably asserted. The dam
age was estimated at between 40,000
and 160,000.

Effort Planned to Amend Law
So Penitentiary Guards
May Do Work Economically
Ijiimiiniiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiii.j .pfisitt MR AT. TOMORROW AT LITTLE EXPENSE IN OUR RASFAfRNT f?Fr?l"'"'"""m
The average cost to the taxpayers of
the state in 1902 for transporting a
convict from the county Jail to the
penitentiary at Salem was $45.98. At
that time it cost. on the average,
$39.96 to bring an Insane person from
the point of commitment to the asy
lum at Salem. That was during the
time when Insane patients committed
to the asylum and convicts sentenced
to the penitentiary were brought to
Salem in the custody of the sheriff Of
the committing county.
System Was Expensive.
From October 1, 1902, to September
30, 1904, inclusive, it cost the people
of the state $14,207 to bring 309 con
victs to the penitentiary. Of this sum
$1710 was per diem of sheriffs,
$1868.50 per diem of guards, $8068.15
for transoortatlon. $2064.50 meals.
lodging and incidentals, and $517.96
for hack hire at Salem.
Those who were familiar with tne
transportation of prisoners during that
time will remember that It usually re
quired two, and sometimes three men,
to bring a prisoner from the commit
ting county to tho penitentiary. It
was usually necessary to stop over In
Portland and put the convicted man In
the county Jail over night wnne tne
officers visited in the city.
Recognizing the excessive cost, ef
forts were made at different sessions
of the legislature to change the sys
tem so that both the Insane ana tno
convicts should be transported to
Salem by attendants from the asylum
or guards from the penitentiary. This
amendment to the law was bitterly
fought by the sheriffs of the different
counties, who were able to defeat it
for several sessions.
Amendment Tut Through.
A separate campaign for a change In
the transportation of the insane was
inaugurated and an amendment was
put through the legislature of 1911.
providing that the insane should be
handled by attendants from the asy
lum. As a result of this amendment
the average cost of the transportation
of patients to the asylum fell from
$39.96 in 1902 to $7.95 In 1915.
The legislature of 1913 also amended
the law relating to transportation of
convicts by providing that one fourth
of the cost should be borne by the
county and three fourths by the state.
As a result of this the county commis
sioners began to check the expense ac
counts so that the number of guards
were reduced, the incidentals were cut
down and other extravagances elimi
nated until the average cost was cut
down to $23.54 in 1915.
An effort will be made during the
coming session of the legislature to
further amend the law so that the
guards from the penitentiary will con
duct all convicts from the county of
commitment to the penitentiary, It be
ing expected that this will result in
still further reducing the general cost,

Indians to Settle
Fishing Eights
Bellingham. Wash., May 2. (P. N.
S.) Determined to settle permanently
the question of the right of white men
to fish in reservation waters, Indians
Of the Lummi reservation today are
preparing to make use of the white
man's courts to uphold their alleged
rights. As the first step in their fight
the Indians yesterday caused the ar
rest of 14 Austrian fishermen on
charges of fishing uplawfully within
the boundaries of the reservation.
The filing of charges against the
Austrians in the federal court Is the
outgrowth of disputes between the In-
Idlans and the fishermen over the right
! to take fish in Hale Pass, which the
1 Indians claim is reservation territory.)
! The capture by the Indians Sunday !
of eight Austrians and the seizure of a I
I fishing boat brought the dispute to a
i crisis. The Austrian fishermen assert i
tha. they have been assured by State
Fish Commissioner L. H. Darwin that
they are entitled to take fish from the
waters of Hale Pas a.

California Expects
Light Primary Vote
San Francisco, May 2. (U. P.) A
heavy vote was not expected in San
Fianclsco today In the California pres
idential preference primary, although
the weather was Ideal. Polls opened
at 6 a. m., and will remain open until
7 p. m.
The only contest was in the Repub
lican division. AH the Democratic
delegates were pledged to support
President Wilson at the convention,
and the Progressive delegates were un
pledged. Two tickets of candidates for dele
gates to the G. O. P. convention were
in the field. One card was composed
of regular Republicans, selected at the
Republican state convention. The op
position ticket of candidates, called
the "United Republicans" favored an
alliance with the Progressives in the
support of a "forward looking candi
date" and had the indorsement of Qor-
ernor Johnson.
Secretary of State Jordon estimates
that less than 50 per cent of the reg
istered vote in California will be
polled. About 700.000 of the 1,260,
000 voters in the state have registered
for the primary.
Los Angeles Vote Light.
Los Angeles, May 2. (U. P.) A
light vote with 90 per cent of the In
terest among Republican factions was
the indication today in the southern
California presidential primaries.
With ideal weather the small turn
out of voters came . as a surprise.
Greater Interest was displayed In
smaller surrounding cities than in Los
Angeles.
All Democrats were pledged to sup
port Wilson, and the Progressives wers
unpledged.
A vote of 154.000 for all territory
south of the Tehachapl was predicted.
Few Votes at Oakland.
Oakland. Cal., May 2. (U. P.)
Wuiet and orderly voting characterized
tne early hours at the polls here today.
Though Alameda county has been con
sidered a center of Progressive party
strength, and many of the leadeis In
tlvetrnited Republican group ar actlvs
here, there ha been a light vote, in
spits of excellent weather conditions.
