employees of the blacksmith shops Of
the Los Angeles Redondo Electric
Railroad Of a young man who had
been discharged for disobedfence of
orders resulted in. a murder here to-
day. wholly unprovoked. That other

Amos Hercules. Hercules had been
employed as helper for o. T., Clutter,
a blacksmith, and several days ago

the other employees joshed him until
he became 50 snraged that he declared
that unless he got his job back some-
body would be hurt.
Shortly before noon to-day Hercules
appeared in the shop with two re-
volvers in his hands and, without warn
ing, began shooting at the men who.
were working there. He particularly
aimed at Clutter and Segrue, who he
claimed had caused him to be dis.
charged, He fired twelve shots. two Of
which struck Segrue. Clutter escaped
uninjured. AS Hercules was attempt
ing to reload his 'revolvers the other
men in the shop overpowered him and
surrendered him TO an officer.
Segrue was taken TO Los Angeles and
while the surgeons we're preparing to
operate on him he died. HERCULES also
was taken to Los Angeles and lodged
in Jail on charge Of murder. When
he was being handcuffed by the Sheriff
he said:
''All that 1 ask is tfTat you hang me
good and clean and that you don I
make a bungle Of it. I shot that man
and I'm glad of 1t. but did not want

214S Center Street, Dec. 2.
The scientists of the agricultural de-
partment of the University of Call
fornia who have been conducting the
campaign against the Goblin moth re-
turned to-day from eight months of
warning at Watsonville, the favorite
summer resort of the destructive in
sect. These investigators are entirely
justified in saying that they were
wholly successful in the campaign, for
the loss of fruit through the Goblin
moths ravages this year was only
per cent, against 40 per cent for last
year. making a net saving of 35 per
cent.
The work was carried on at various
times by Professor c. w. Woodworth,
Warren T. Clark, w. H. Voick and j.
S. Hunter. though these men were not
in the field all the time. The finishing
up work was done by. Mr.. Voick, who
returned to-day with Mr.. Hunter and
furnished the data connected with It.
All of the appropriation of $2925, which
was provided by Monterey and Santa
Cruz counties, was used in the expert
ments. A hundred orchards were
treated, the larger part of the work
being carried on in the Pajaro Valley,
the principal apple region of the State
Now that the moth has been almost
exterminated the scientists will turn
their attention to the invention of a
new spray. It was found that the ar
senical sprays used this summer caused
the leaves to drop and the fruit to be-
come smaller, so that less injurious
spray must be found.
BY far the work most interesting to
the non-agricultural world was carried
on by Mr.. Hunter, whose endeavors
were directed toward discovering the
economic value of birds to the orchard
lists and whether they eat any percep-
tible per cent of the Goblin moth or any
other destroying insect. During his
eight months stay in the valley Mr..
Hunter killed 1900 birds of different
kinds and sent their stomachs to
Washington for examination by DR.. F.
E. L. Beal, chief ornithologist of the
Department of Agriculture. 1t was in
tended that if the birds were destruc-
tible to insects to encourage their pro-
pogation.
The examination of the stomachs of
the Dlack GroSDedh Dy III Deal re-
vealed that 90 per cent of the insect
food in them was injurious to crops.
Out of this 80 per cent IA per cent was
found to be Goblin moth pupae. In
some cases there. were 100 per cent of
Goblin moth, while in others there was
only per cent and large per cent Of
caterpillars.
OF the fifty species taken the gros-
beak was found to be the most destruc-
tive of insects and the linnet the least.
Mr.. Hunter finds that none of the birds
are as injurious to trees as at first sup
posed, and that they ought to be pro-
tected more. especially at the nesting
time.
