Six Precocious Youngsters at Pasa-

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July 20.-Six small boys
none of them more than 8 years old
are either under the doctors care to-
day or are undergoing home treatment
by reason of their pranks yesterday
afternoon. The boys are Otto Reiser
Norman Smith, Albert, Sherman and
Andrew BEEN and Roger Blair, all Of
whom live near the corner of North
Orange Grove avenue and Fair Oaks
avenue.
One of the boys managed in some
way to secure quantity of gunpowder
at a local store while several of the
others Scraped together a number of
stray cartridges and matches. Then the
young hopefuls adjourned to the Ar
royo Seco, and free from spying par
ents or other over anxious relatives,
planned the proper explosion of the
collection. A cannon was finally con-
structed and loaded to the rim, but
curiously enough, would not explode
properly.
Finally, is disgust, the entire outfit
was placed in a fire and the boys
grouped around to wait results When
the explosion occurred the agonized
screams of the boys brought the whole
neighborhood down upon the scene.
When the surgeons had completed the
III 81 aus W lHe injured ii was 1Ounu
that hardly a boy had escaped scott
free. Norman Smith was the most
severely injured, the exploding powder
nearly destroying one eye. and filing
his face with grains of powder, about
100 finding Judgement in the skin.
Roger Blair was almost as badly hurt.
Every one of the other lads was pain
fully burned. The parents are quite
bitter over the action of the Pasadena
Sporting Goods company, a clerk of
which is alleged to have sold the boys
the powder. 1t is a wonder, under The
circumstances, that all of the young
sters We're not killed outright with the
flying bullets and the exploding powder.
The police took steps this afternoon
to put an end to the practice of another
gang of youngsters, who have been
making life unbearable for the Salt
Lake agent by frequenting the railroad
yards and leaping on and off the NOV
ing cars. Luckily no accident has yet
happened from the practice. A half
dozen of the youngsters were arrested
this afternoon and after a sober lecture
allowed to go. Others will be brought
I'm tomorrow. This and other practices
of a similar character the police say
must be broken up.

SAYS JUSTICE IS
BECOMING FARCE
REFORM is NEEDED, DECLARES
ANDREW D. WHITE
Time Has Come, He Says, When
Technical Appeals In Crim-
inaI Cases Should Not
Be Allowed
By Associated Press.

by RSSOCldteu ETesSs
ITHACA, N. Y, July 20.-Andrew D.
White, former president of Cornell
university in an address before the
Cornell summer school tonight de-
Clared the time had come when tech
meal appeals in criminal cases should
no longer be allowed by the courts.
Referring to the situation in New York
city and speaking of District Attorney
Jerome, DR.. White said:
"On him more than any other man
thinking people throughout the state
and nation are pinning their hopes
that sundry cases of high crime now
attracting notice may not become a
lasting disgrace to the New York
courts and American Justice.
while the number of murders is
rapidly increasing, procedure against
them is becoming more and more in
effective, and, in the light of sundry
recent cases in New York and else
where, is seen to be a farce.
"One of the worst results cf these
cases is the growing opinion among
the people at large that men with
money can so delay Justice by every
sort of chicanery that there is virtual
immunity from punishment for the
highest crimes.
L favor preventing appeals based on
mere technical matters and upon er-
rors of trial judges in trifing matters
of procedure and the like. which have
really nothing to do with the uues-
ton of guilt or innocence"

BARRACUDA RUN
IS VERY HEAVY
BIG CATCHES MADE WITH BUT
LITTLE EFFORT
Condition Prevailing for Past Two
Weeks Results in Flooding the
Fish Market at San
Pedro
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, July 20.-For the first
time in several months fresh fish are a
drug on the market, owing to the big
run of barracuda the past two weeks,
Although the demand for fish remains
good the supply is so great, especially
of the barracuda, that it was almost
impossible to dispose of the catches
this morning. For two weeks past the
barracuda have been running so freely
that anyone could get all of them de-
sired with scarcely any effort. Tons of
them were brought in every morning,
and finally the sales began to drag,
with the result that the fishermen have
about quit going after them and are
taking a rest
Capt. Jerry Shivey, the giant fisher
man, is authority for the statement
that the crawfish business the coming
winter will exceed that of any other
year by far. He states that where there
have been two or three camps on Santa
Cruz island in winters past at least
fifteen will be established this winter
for the taking of these toothsome crus-
taceans. Crawfishermen have always
made mint of money at the business.
Capt. Jerry often took in as high as
$40 per day with his traps along the
shores of that island
Capt Shively is the most daring of
all fishermen on this coast. He is a
giant in stature, being six feet four and
one-half inches tall, built accordingly,
and as brave and daring as anyone can
be- In rough weather, which often oc-
ours along the west side of Santa Cruz
island, he is the only one who will visit
the crawfish traps every day; the
others preferring to wait if necessary a
week for less waves. AS the fish get
into the traps every day it is the one
who visits them the oftenest that gets
the biggest prizes.
Capt. Shively made a record run from
Catalina to this port this morning in
his launch Petraligore, covering the
distance with a thirty-four foot sloop
and four little skiffs in tow in a few
minutes over four hours. The launch
also carried seven men. He will leave
Monday to begin the work of establish
ing camps on the different islands and
taking the men to them for the craw-
fishing which begins the fifteenth of
September.
