identified assailants this morning just
before daylight murdered AIibito Rod
riquez, a Mexican well known in this
section, by stabbing him more than a

Several Mexicans have been locked

little in the way of clews been un-

guilty parties are.

with another Mexican.
Rodriguez was a former convict, hav-
ing been sent to the penitentiary some

Concerning Salaries
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 16.-The
prospect now is that the dispute be-
tween the city board of education and
the county superintendent of schools
over the question of paying the salary
of teachers for the two days that they
attend the Southern California Teach :
ers' association, will get into the courts.
State Superintendent Hyatt has de-
cided that the city must pay the salary.
The city board contends that the two
days session in Los Angeles is not a
part of the county institute within the
meaning of the law. therefore the city
should not be compelled to pay for
those two days.
County superintendent McPherron
held that the salaries must be paid, and
his decision is affirmed by the state
superintendent. President Parker of
the city board will now stop the pay
ment of the warrants by the county
auditor, which will take the question
into the courts. In Orange county the
question has been decided against the
construction placed on the law by tine
state superintendent.
