MEXICAN SHOT
BY A WATCHMAN

Carlos Perez, a Mexican oiler en-
61S Mateo street, was shot and fatally
wounded by R. D. Birch, a special
watchman employed by the Merchants
fire dispatch, near the Plaza early
yesterday morning. Birch is confined
in the city Jail and will be held until
the outcome of Perez's wounds is
known.

Plaza at 3:45 o'clock when 1 first saw

Perez tells a different story than
Birch. With the aid of an interpreter
the man yesterday told his version of
the story.

Santa Fe," he said. "and last night

ing lemons and apples-every fruit, in
fact, which can be packed in the man
ner in which oranges are prepared for
the market. The parts of the machine
are so delicate in touch that fruit can
be handled without any danger of
brulsing. To demonstrate this the own
ers of the machine in the Riverside test
put 10000 oranges through the machine
265 times and the fruit came out alb
solutely perfect at the conclusion of the
last run. There are two types of the
machine and each has a distinct field
of its own. The Duplex, such as was
used in the Riverside experiment, re-
quires an operator to place the fruit
on the feed board. The Universal re-
quires practically no attention and
entirely automatically wraps anything
requiring packing, from deciduous
fruits down. the line to include base
balls. golf sails and candies, the only
requisite being that the article be of
standard shape and of nearly a uni
form size.
The object Of the Duplex machine is
to so wrap the fruit that the stem
will be protected by the twist OF the
paper wrapper when 1t is gathered into
a tuft This eliminates every possi-
bility Of stem punctures. and In conse-
quence the fruit thus wrapped viii

ORANGE PACKER

WONDERFUL INVENTION is
PERFECTED
Life Energy of Two Men Put Into the
Production of Successful
Appliance to Handle
Citrus Fruit

MACHINE, the invention and
II completion of which wore out the
4 n life of one man and required the
genius of second, promises to revo-
lutionize the fruit packing industry Of
the world and to start the revolution
in Southern California. 1t is called the
Tripp wrapping machine and is almost
human in the way it handles, wraps
and packs the golden fruit which has
gained Southern California fame in
the marts of the world.
To so wrap fruits as to bring the
highest possible price, insure the most
absolute preservation, entail the least
possible damage and attain the great
est speed and precision, has for years
been the problem which the packers of
the west have, with their usual pro-
gressiVe ideas, lead the world in an
effort to solve. The problem need no
longer remain answerless. 1t has
passed the stage of conundrum and
enigma and has found solution in the
duplex Gas it is called machine quite
recently bearing up under severe tests
made at Riverside at the packing
houses of the Arlington Heights Fruit
company.
Three machines have undergone the
test and came through without the
least break, handling the fruit to the
best possible advantage and with the
margin of possible loss shaved down so
close that to eliminate further would
mean the absolute canceling of all
such possibility.
Result offLong Study
Many years ago S. d. Trip, the in
ventor of the Tripp shoe machine, WIS.,
tied Southern California. At that time
the fruit industry was in it's infancy
compared to the growth it has since
attained. But even then the ranchers
and packers were looking for a ma
chine which would pack their fruit
for them as it came from the washers.
They were even looking forward to the
day when the washer would enable
them to cut down the long payrolls
that every week cut into the profits of
the company and made them charge
prices that We're running the chance
of Southern California to ever become
a prosperous fruit growing center. The
washer came and also several pack
ing machines. But only the washer
remained. 1t was found that the pack
ing machines entailed so much loss In
damaging the fruit that there was
nothing to be gained from the use of
the ynachine as a labor saver.
For years the brightest minds have
been bent to the task of producing the
machine which would do the work sat
isfactorily and at the same time not
injure the fruit i'm any way productive
OF rot.

RECEIVES DEATH
PENALTY AS JOKE
MEXICAN MUST HANG FOR
WIFE MURDER
Thanks Judge In Sarcastic Manner
and Asks for All He Can
Eat Before His Exc
cution

With smile on his lips, a faunt OF
his head and witty jest at his owr
fate, Adelfino Albitre, the desperate
murderer, yesterday greeted the SEN
tence of death meted out to him by
Judge Smith.
The convicted man is short and
heavy set. He is a Mexican sheer
| herder and his black curly hair and
mustache looked unusually debonair as
he marched into the court room yes
terday morning and lounged about
while the deputy sheriff took the hand
cuffs from him.
"Mr. Albitre, stand up" ordered
Judge Smith.
The desperado marched forward and
looked at the Judge and winked and
cooked his head on one side as though
greatly amused.
Sentenced to Death
at is the order of this court that
within a period of not less than sixty
nor more than ninety days you be
taken by the warden of San Quentin
penitentiary and hanged by the neck
until you are dead"
There was the stiffness of death
among the spectators. 1t is horrible
to hear the news of mans own death
broken to him that way. 1t was the
first time that Judge Smith had ever
read the death penalty without show
ing emotion, and Albitre looked on in
grim humor. He raised his hand to
his little mustache and then with a
gesture of contempt he said, "Eh,
gracias, gracias, esta bien" (Oh,
thanks, thanks that's all right.
The sarcasm, the utter fearlessness

from the spectators.
Relatives Died Violently
Albitre had listened to the argument
of his council for a new trial with
contempt He laughed when the judge
denied 1t. His friends and relatives
had met violent death one way or an
other. All were gun fighters, fearless
and cruel, and he was a product Of
his kind and laughed. When sentence
had been pronounced, with the same
contempt he marched back to the jail
and asked that he be allowed to con-
sumo as much food as possible between
that time and the day set for his exc
cution.
Albitre was arrested in San Diego
on Christmas day. On September he
became enraged at his common law
wife, Francisco Ramirez, and despite
the fact that their baby was clinging
to the mother, he turned the woman's
face around so he could look at her
and then shot her with a revolver.
He then picked up the body and fired
another bullet into the brain before
escaping to the hills. Eluding the posse

as the human packer would use his

Should anything become amiss the ma
chine is controlled by two dry bat
teries and the electric current caused
by breakage or jamming would stop
the machine instantly through the
agency of an electric clutch. The sub

that they might come home on a pass; and 1T is
averred that they did ride on such a free pass, furnished
