NORTH AND SOUTH AFTER
CARRIERS' CONVENTION
Coast May Lose Entirely Because
of Warring Cities
Members of the Los Angeles Letter
Carriers' association are trying to get
the annual convention of their organi
zation in 1913 for Los Angeles. The
San Francisco carriers are also trying
to got the convention that year, and
between the two cities a fight has
sprung up which may prevent either
city from securing tho desired prize.
Since the organization of the na
tional association the annual meeting
has been held on the Pacific coast
twice, once at San Francisco in IM<7
and once at Portland in 1907. The Los
Angeles carriers now believe It Is their
turn and state that San Francisco
should offer no opposition to this city.
The San Francisco carriers refuse
point blank to do this, however. They
put their bid in before Los Angeles
did and claim they will not concede
anything to Los Angeles. It is be
lieved that unless the two cities have
arrived at an understanding before
the next convention meets In Roches
ter In 1911 the result will be that the
convention will go to some third city,
possibly not on this coast at all.

COMMITMENTS FAULTY;
3 PRISONERS RELEASED
Judge Willis Conducts Class in
Law for Benefit of Po
mona Officials
By an order dismissing three pris
oners held In Pomona under faulty
commitments yesterday afternoon,
Judge Willis or the criminal court
made a jail delivery In that city which
did not require tho sawing of bars
or the Slaughtering of the guards.
The prisoner* were Jules Hugues, A.
H. Vejiir and Frank K. Smith, who
had been sentenced to six months each
on the charge of violating tho liquor
ordinances of Pomona last fall. All
of them applied for their release on a
writ of habeas corpus. When tho hear
ing took place they were discharged,
having served five months each. Judge
Willis conducted a class In the court
room for the edification of the Pomona
officials.
Recorder John TT. Leo, City Attorney
J. W. .Joss and Marshal Silas Wright
of Pomona were the pupils in tho class
who were given information by the
court on the proper manner in which
to commit prisoners If they would
keep them "committed."
It was shown during tho habeas cor
pus proceedings that all three prison
ers had been committed on two charges
each and that sentence was to begin
on each charge on the expiration of
the other.
Judge Willis began to Fmile on hear
ing the order of the commitments.
"If a prisoner begins one sentence
on the expiration of the other, pn two
charges, which is which and on which
does he begin to serve time first And
If he begins to serve time, how are
you to know whether the prisoner has
started serving the right sentence? If
" and the Judge started to ask for
more light, but it was like trying to
imagine how far the comet really trav
els. Ho gave It up, declaring the com
mitments faulty.
It was shown that all - six commit
ments, or two commitments oach, or
dered the prisoners into the custody of
the sheriff, but that they had only beer,
committed to the custody of Marshal
Wright This was because Pomona
was not equipped with the proper sta
tionery and the official had been using
the same commitments as those used to
send a prisoner to the county Jail.
Following the discharge of the pris
oners the officials of Pomona were
asked If they had any more prison
ers They declared they had not, as
the court's order had emptied the city
