UNWRITTEN LAW A HANDICAP TO JOHNSON SENATOR WORK'S SUCCESSOR SHOULD COME FROM SOUTH OF THE TEHACHAPI FORMER GOV. PARDEE MAKES STATEMENT, WHICH IS INTERESTING POLITICAL READING Former Gov. George C. Pardee of Oakland, writing in the Enquirer of that city, a newspaper which is regarded as the leading progressive publication in the state, has a lengthy review of the political aspirations of Gov. Johnson for the United States Senatorship, and does not take kindly to the latter's vaunting ambition. Pardee was formerly one of Johnson's most enthusiastic supporters, but led the progressive revolt against the governor's nonpartisan measures. Pardee supported the regular republican nominees for delegates to the national republican convention, and he criticised Johnson for advising republicans to support the pinto united republican ticket. Pardee is one of the best posted politicians in the state, and his opposition to Johnsons nonpartisan program did much to bring overwhelming oefest to that political absurdity. He now opposes Johnson as United States Senator, and in a recent issue present them in the upper house of congress. But it is very safe to say that we would choose for our senators only Californians. Of course, Governor Johnson, residing in the northern part of the state, would probably be able to represent the South as well as could any citizen of it. But there are a lot of people who seem to have the notion that it will be quite a difficult task to induce the Southerners to fall in with that idea. Of course, the governor has a good many warm supporters south of the Tehachapis. But the governor's enemies point to the May primary and other votes in the South as an evidence that, for some reason or other, he isn't nearly as strong there now as he was a year and a half ago, when he was re-elected. Is The Governor Weaker? Then too, there is to be considered the often-expressed reluctance of the plain people to promote governors. Milton S. Latham and Newton Booth were the only governors of California who became senators before the people, by constitutional amendments, prohibited governors from becoming senators while they were governors. George C. Perkins put on the toga something like a dozen years after he had ceased to be governor. Charles Curry was re-elected secretary of state a couple of times. When he went before the people, in 1910, for the republican nomination for governor, Johnson, an untried man, beat him decisively. Two years later, though, Curry was elected and has been re-elected to represent in congress a district that has twice given Governor Johnson big majorities. The governor is strong with the people—at least he was in 1914, when breaking the long established custom in regard to the re-election of governors, they very properly sent him back to Sacramento with an NEW NOTICE Bean House at One of the lace bean warehouse state is being on the Southern Taylor Company will contain all for cleaning large quantities every convenient work for which jally designed. 150 feet on the finished in time this season.

Pardee is one of the best post-ed politicians in the state, and his opposition to Johnsons nonpartisan program did much to bring overwhelming defeat to that political absurdity. He now opposes Johnson as United States Senator, and in a recent issue of the Enquirer makes the following pertinent reference to the governor's candidacy: Governor Johnson and the Senate So Governor Johnson has finally announced his intention to run for the United States senatorial nomination at the coming August primary. In the midst of a veritable hurricane of enthusiasm he made, at last Saturday's gathering of the progressives, that announcement. He didn't quite say which party nomination—progressive, republican or democratic—he intends to try for. But, reasoning from the fact that he has announced that he will support Hughes and that he was the recipient of a telegram from Hughes, in which the latter frankly asked for the support of progressives, and that republican nominating petitions are being circulated for him—reasoning from these facts and from what the governor intimated, more than from what he said, it would appear that he intends to try to capture only the republican nomination. But reasoning from the fact that he urged those progressives to organize who have gone or will go back into the democratic party, some of his hearers last Saturday drew the inference that he intended to try also for the democratic nomination. Fram present indications, though, there will be no progressive party nomination for him to take. For, it appears, the progressive party ship has, unfortunately, gone onto the rocks both in the nation and this state and, having been abandoned by its officers, crew and passengers, apepars to be a total loss. There were mighty few progressives registered for the May primaries; and, as many of the governor's close followers appear to have registered as republicans and democrats, it looks as if there wouldn't be enough progressive registered voters to make it worth while to hold a progressive primary, even though the governor did declare that, while the progressive national party is dead, the progressive cause is, as it should be, PILLSBURY BOUND OVER TO SUPERIOR COURT Many Women Crowd Court to Sympathize With or Condemn Him When W. H. Pillsbury, the elderly man who was arrested here two weeks ago by Officer Germann on a complaint issued by Los Angeles officials, had his hearing in justice court at Los Angeles Friday, the court room was crowded with women, some sympathizing with him, some accusing him and others attending out of curiosity. Pillsbury was charged with embezzling an automobile from Mrs. P. V. Richards. He was in Anaheim negotiating a deal with Mrs. Laura Resh for valuable real estate when the request for his arrest came. He has a reputation for activity in church work and is said by Mrs. Richards to have made her acquaintance at a social, and at a similar affair, a short time later, discovered that she intended to purchase an automobile. Ingratiating himself in her company, she charges, he went with her to purchase the car. When the deal had been consumed, Mrs. Richards testified, he insisted on driving the car for her and offering crew and passengers, aparts to be a total loss. There were mighty few progressives registered for the May primaries; and, as many of the governor's close followers appear to have registered as republicans and democrats, it looks as if there wouldn't be enough progressive registered voters to make it worth while to hold a progressive primary, even though the governor did declare that, while the progressive national party is dead, the progressive cause is, as it should be, very much alive in this state. The Unwritten Law But, of course, the Governor, seeking for either the republican or democratic nomination, or both, will meet with strong opposition. The standpatters and reactionaries in both parties will, of course, oppose him bitterly; and, reasoning from the fate of the united republican ticket, which the governor backed at the May primary and advised the people to support, there are not a few who say they think the rank and file of the republican and democratic parties are not so enthusiastic in their support of the governor as his close friends tell him they are. Then, too, the unwritten law of this state has been, for twenty-five years, that one United States Senator shall be taken from north of the Tehachapils and the other from south of them. Senator Works, whose toga the governor is reaching for, succeeded Senator Flint who succeeded Senator Bard, who followed Senator White. All these senators came from the South. And there are not a few, even of the governor's friends, who privately say that they think he will be greatly handicapped, because of the fact that he hails from the North, in his attempt to succeed a senator from the South. Of course, geography may have little or no influence in the selection of United States senators. The law permits the people of California to select citizens of Maine or any other state to rep- real estate when the request for his arrest came. He has a reputation for activity in church work and is said by Mrs. Richards to have made her acquaintance at a social, and at a similar affair, a short time later, discovered that she intended to purchase an automobile. Ingratiating himself in her company, she charges, he went with her to purchase the car. When the deal had been consumed, Mrs. Richards testified, he insisted on driving the car for her and offering to house it for the pleasure of driving about occasionally in her company. The witness stated that she had no suspicions of Pillsbury's real character until she asked for the return of her car and he refused to give it up, saying that numerous repair bills had been incurred and that she would have to reimburse him. She declared that inquiries pertaining to Pillsbury had revealed that he had acted in a similar manner with other women, and it was to prevent him from further activities in this line as much as to secure her property that she instituted the suit. When Pillsbury was arrested he had in his possession letters from numerous women, all indicating an intimate acquaintance. The letters were not brought into the preliminary hearing, but some may be used in the superior court, to which the defendant was bound over on bail of $1000. Twelve young people motored out to the county park Sunday, carrying with them the ingredients to make a Dutch pot. Numerous chickens were sacrificed for the purpose, but those who had charge of the stew proved to be such excellent cooks that nothing was left but the pot and the bones when all appetites were satisfied. The party consisted of Mrs. Frank Nellesen, Misses Alice Hansen, Clara Altnow, Aleida Heying, Henrietta Schindler, and Helen Johnson, and Messrs. NEW NOTES OF COUNTY Bean House at the Park:— One of the largest and best equipped bean warehouses in this part of the state is being erected at Buena Park on the Southern Pacific siding near the Taylor Company cannery building. It will contain all the latest machinery for cleaning and handling beans in large quantities. The plans call for every convenience to facilitate the work for which the building is especially designed. The warehouse is 40x150 feet on the ground and will be finished in time to handle the crop for this season. A. Nelson is the owner. About 1000 tons of beans will be shipped this season from Buena Park, most of them from this warehouse. The Taylor Cannery Company has announced that the canning factory will not be open for this season, but plans are being made to operate next season on a large scale. The purpose is to induce the growers in that section to put in tomatoes and a specialty will be made of this crop. Squatters Ejected:— When Deputy Sheriffs A. K. Cravath and John Iman went to Serra to dispossess Charles Free and any other fishermen who might be with him on land upon which they had squatted there was a possibility of trouble. But there wasn't at bit. Free was told to go, and he went. The order of court was that the officers take whatever belongings the squatters might have on the property and take it off of the property. Free's worldly goods, aside from his boats and fishing outfit, were in a suit case. He took the suit case in one hand and walked away. Thus was the fishermen's village us for expanding investments? Among the regulations that may be passed by the new commission will probably be one prohibiting a captain or first mate of a vessel from knocking down a mutinous sailor with any weapon at hand. What joy will be left to the commander of a vessel, when this last happy privilege has been taken from him? The greatest aid to shipping interests which the government could possibly render would be to overhaul all of our navigation laws and put the owner of an American vessel upon an equal footing with ship-owners of foreign countries with whom he is compelled to compete. OUR EXPORT TRADE For the week ending June 10, 1916, exports from the port of New York amounted to the astounding total of $92,283,029, far surpassing the record week ending April 1st of this year, when exports from New York were $78,753,839. High Tide at Newport:— With a seven-foot six-inch tide running Friday night, Newport Beach escaped without any serious damage. Waves that night pounded the bulkhead in front of the hotel, and spray was splashed over the sidewalk, but no damage resulted. For a considerable distance up the beach from Twenty-third street the high tide deposited considerable sand and the beach was filled in at some points as high as two feet. At Sixteenth street, between Newport and East Newport, waters from the ocean and bay met, ocean water running over the road. One or two machines got stuck in attempting to go through. Castro Wanted for Murder:— Campaint charging Julian Castro with murder in connection with the death last Sunday night of Refugio Ortez, 23 years old, at Los Alamitos, was filed by Deputy Sheriff Fowler. Castro has been missing since the night of the crime and circulars containing his description are to be sent out by the authorities. Castro had a fight with Ortez at Los Alamitos Sunday afternoon several hours before Ortez was stabbed to death, but the most damaging piece of evidence was the finding of a hat on land upon which they had squatted there was a possibility of trouble. But there wasn't at bit. Free was told to go, and he went. The order of court was that the officers take whatever belongings the squatters might have on the property and take it off of the property. Free's worldly goods, aside from his boats and fishing outfit, were in a suit case. He took the suit case' in one hand and walked away. Thus was the fishermen's village turned back into the hands of the owner, the Dana Point company, represented by John O. Forster of San Juan Capistrano. A year or more ago suit for the company was brought by Attorney E. E. Keech, and judgment was secured ousting Free and a dozen or more fishermen, who had built up a small fishing village in a cove above Serra. Recently Free returned to the place, and it was found necessary to get a writ of assistance from the superior court. The officers were armed with authority to use whatever force was necessary to carry out the order of the court to put the owner in peaceful possession of the property. At eleven o'clock Saturday it was discovered that the breeze had fanned smouldering embers in the ruins into a blaze, and the engine was again called to the scene. The fire was quickly extinguished. DEER AND BEAR PLENTIFUL There are five times as many deer and bear in the Yosemite National Park this year as there were four years ago, according to the statement of Chief Ranger Townsley. The phenomenal increase in the number of friendly animals is due to the strict enforcement of the anti-firearms rule and to the merciless war waged against coyotes, foxes, mountain lions and other destructive animals by the park rangers. The campaign against mountain lions will be conducted with all possible vigor next winter, and Townsley says that by next summer there will not be a lion in the park. Deer are plentiful in the smaller canyons near Camp Curry, and parties seldom go out for the day without encountering half a dozen or more One motorist counted fifteen deer along the automobile road between Camp Curry and Glacier Point. Bear are likewise plentiful. Several come every night to feed at the bear pit near the lower end of the Yosemite Floor, and on moon light nights many tourists from Camp Curry and other resorts go down the valley to be done toward saving the building, but the department prevented its spreading to adjoining houses. The contents of the building was a total loss. In fact, when Mr. Moran awoke and discovered the fire he and his wife barely had time to snatch a few articles of clothing and escape into the yard in their night clothes. The origin of the fire is unknown, but defective wiring is supposed to be the cause, as it started in the roof. An insurance of $500 was carried on the contents, but this is only a small percentage of the loss. All the family clothing and personal effects besides a fine piano were among the articles destroyed. Mr. and Mrs. Moran were taken in by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tausch, who live next door, where they will remain until a new home is fitted up. The house was owned by a Pasadena man. Mr. Moran is employed by the Anaheim Beef & Provision company, he and his wife having moved to Anaheim but a short time ago. At eleven o'clock Saturday it was discovered that the breeze had fanned smouldering embers in the ruins into a blaze, and the engine was again called to the scene. The fire was quickly extinguished.

All these figures are contemplated, the vast resources of the United States are even then but imperfectly understood. Our exports to South American countries continue to increase. They will do so just as long as Germany with murder in connection with the death last Sunday night of Refugio Ortez, 23 years old, at Los Alamitos, was filed by Deputy Sheriff Fowler. Castro has been missing since the night of the crime and circulars containing his description are to be sent out by the authorities. Castro had a fight with Ortez at Los Alamitos Sunday afternoon several hours before Ortez was stabbed to death, but the most damaging piece of evidence was the finding of a hat, said to have been worn by Castro, near the scene of the death struggle. Castro was connected with the crime as soon as it was learned of the fight in the afternoon and the finding of the hat only served to increase the suspicion. The complaint was not filed till Saturday in order that the authorities would not be hindered in their efforts to locate the fugitive. No trace of Castro has been found, however, since the night of the crime. The jury which was called for the injust over Ortez's body returned a verdict declaring that Ortez had been murdered by persons unknown. The United States this year will produce two billion pounds of beet sugar as against only five million in 1890, according to a compilation made by the foreign trade department of the National City bank of New York. It was said that this would place the United States fourth among the beet sugar producing countries of the world. It was pointed out that the total consumption of sugar, cane and beet, in the United States had grown from two billion pounds in 1880 to eight billion five hundred million pounds last year.

Bear are likewise plentiful. Several come every night to feed at the bear pit near the lower end of the Yosemite Floor, and on moon light nights many tourists from Camp Curry and other resorts go down the valley to witness the repast. Most of the destructive blue jays in the park have been killed by the rangers, and pigeons and other small birds are multiplying rapidly. A wholesale poisoning campaign has resulted in clearing out most of the ground squirrels, but attractive grey squirrels are now more plentiful than ever. ANOTHER FEDERAL COMMISSION Rumors from Washington indicate another lengthening of the pie counter. This time it is to be a commission to regulate our Merchant Marine. Such a commission would have the same jurisdiction over general shipping as the Interstate Commerce Commission has over the railroads. Not satisfied with the disaster wrought to shipping interests by the Seamen's Bill, the national legislators desire to further harrass the ship owners by saddling upon them a commission to dictate to them how they shall conduct their business. When the war is over, what chances will an American ship-owner have against the vessels of foreign countries where shipping is encouraged by subsidies and in other manners, instead of being harrassed and tormented by governmental agencies?
