Martin Mer-, Shouting Prayers During
His Contortions, Is Taken from
Garvanza Camp to Hos

Martin Merz, an aged man who has been
living at the camp of Holy Rollers near
GarYanza, was taken from, there to the
police station last night a gibbering idiot
from religious frenzy
He was continually rolling over and
over on the ground and at the same time
shouting prayers ard incoherent SEN
tences of supplcation to the Savior to
help him out of sin.
At the police station he was placed in
the detention ward and there he continued
his actions, rolling over and over and
crawling along the floor at the same time,
uttering prayers in German and shouting
at the top of his voice.
1t is believed that the mans mind has
become permanently affected by the re-
lgious rites and ceremonies which this
sect practices. He will be turned over to
the county authorities today for exami-
nation into his mental condition.

PASADENA, Aug. 27.-Los Robles
avenue seems much nearer being paved
than it was year ago. Discussion over
'the kind of paving to be done will not
subside. Residents and property owners
alcng that street seem determined to be
sure they are right and then go ahead.
At a meeting of the forty or fifty
property owners held at the Maryland
hotel last night resolution was adopted
requesting hat the paving be delayed for
the present. Other property owners make
a demand to have the paving work begin
without delay. The council listened to
the resolution and the advocates of the
immediate beginning of paving work and
took the subject under consideration.
There is only a four inch water main
on part of the street and some of the
advocates of paving think it should be
delayed till larger mains are installed.

ARTILLERY SCHOOL PLANNED
FOR COAST DEFENSE FORCES
High Technical Training Is Object OF
Governments New Plan-Insti-

In Virginia

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Announcement
is made that great artillery training
school that will be to the United States
army what the School of Shoeburyness
is to the British army, is about to be
established at Fort Monroe, Va, for the
higher technical training of the officers
and enlisted men OF the coast artiilery
corps, United States army.
The scheme, which calls for the con-
solidation into one great school or all
the existing training schools OF all coast
artillery, is being perfected by Brig. Gen.
Murray, the chief of artillery. The next
batch of young officers and enlisted men
to report for instruction will be ordered
to proceed to the new institution on the
shore of Hampton Hoads.
The government is determined to make
the coast artillery as perfect an organi-
zation of the kind as exists in the world
today, and this new school will Increase
In every respect the efficiency of the
men who man the great Notifications
that guard the principal approaches to
the principal American ports.
The Fort Monroe school will be in
charge of a colonel and eacheof the de-.
partments will be presided over by
major Col. Harrison, now in command
at Fort Monroe, will probably be the first
head of the institution.
At Fort Totten, Maj. G. f, Barney OF
the coast artillery corps said that the
scope of the new school was on larger
scale than ever attempted in this coun-
try before. AS yet, no official name FOR
