SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, May 49,
Sensational newspaper reports that
have been recently sent out from this
city to san Francisco, relative to the
alleged mobbing Of Japanese residents
of Uplands, in this county, have stirred
up the Japanese consul In San Fran
cisco to request Governor George G.
Pardee that protection be given the
Japs.
Governor Pardee has therefore sent n
telegram to Sheriff J. G. Ralphs Of this
city, asking him to use his good offices
in affordng protection to the Japanese
1T the Uplands district and to advise
him If there is any serious disorder
there.
AS Sheriff Ralphs has yet to hear
of anything serious at Uplands he has
advised the governor to that effect.
A bond issue of 100000 will be at once
asked for by the board Of education of
this city, to provide more school faci-
lities. The present city schools are
overcrowded and the outlook is that
during the coming year they will be

city are preparing the plans for the
improvements. The Mount Vernon ad-
dition is to be ready for the opening
CT school in the fall, and the G street
building is to be finished as soon there
after as is possible.
Fireman Seriously Burned
A Salt Lake fireman, whose name
was not learned, was very seriously
burned at Kelso, a desert station on
the Salt Lake, better known as Siding
No. 16, by an explosion Of the gas in
the oil tank. He went out on the
tank, setting his torch down several
feet from the manhole. On opening
the manhole the gas rushed out, was
ignited by the torch and an explosion
quickly followed, enveloping the fire.
man in flames and burning him very
seriously before he could be rescued.
The accident was very similar to that
which befell Engineer Trout of the
same road at Cotton on Tuesday. Both
men were taken to the Los Angeles
| hospital.
| Sesto Ogaz, charged with the at
tempted murder of Florentino Con-
zales at Cotton a few days ago, has
been sentenced to eight years in the
Folsom prison. Ogaz, who is a former
convict, pleaded guilty, but refused to
tell the court anything as to how he
came to assault his victim who had
narrow escape from instant death from
the ak that Ogaz welded.
A hot quarrel has been precipitated
in church circles in Cotton by an at
| tack on the character of Rev. J.
Francis Davies of that city, by Rev.
DR.. Jaclsa Of the Presbyterian church.
An attack without using names was
made by Evangelist Bulgin a few
last night DIR. Jacka used Davies
name Davies formerly lived in San
Bernardino and subsequently in Santa
Ana. He recently came to Cotton and
organized an independent church.
Character Witness Wanted
At the recent trial in this city OF
Hieronymus Hartman, a Mojave river
rancher, for murderous assault, one of
the good character witnesses for the
defendant was one Carl Schillinger. 1t
now appears that at the time of the
trial Schillinger was a fugitive from
justice, being wanted in Marin county
OF. a charge of grand larceny. Sheriff
Ralphs got an intimation that the man
was wanted but by the time he re-
ceived assurances Schillinger had left.
Schillinger has. however, at last been
caught at Stockton and will be prose-
cuted under the Marin county charge.
He was once sent to prison for four
