At about five minutes to IL the fire
bells were sounded in the school and
in one minute and fifty-eight seconds

As the warning was sounded the boys
of the fire brigade each had to report
at an assigned station. By general sig

have little to do at fire in Polytechnic.
But few suggestions for improvements
were made, which when carried out will

PUBLISHERS ON TRIAL
BEFORE POLICE COURT
Men Charged with Criminal Libel
Arraiened and Case May
Be Concluded This
Morning

The trial of Modesto Diaz, Felix Ul-
barri and FREDERICK ArizmendeZ, who
were arrested some time ago on the
complaint of Detective Talamantes,
charging them with criminal libel, was
begun in Police Justice Roses court
yesterday.
Their arrest grew, from the publish
ing of an article appearing in the col
umns of La Revolution, a Spanish pub
lication which is alleged to have bit
terly attacked Talamantes because he
was one of the officers who participated
in the arrest of three alleged revolu-
tionists-Rivera, Villareal and Magon.
Diaz, Ulibarri and AriZmundez COM
posed the staff of the paper and are ac-
cused of having been responsible for
the printing of the alleged story at
tacking Talamantes.
The court room was crowded with
persons who are deeply interested in
the proceedings and are anXiously
awaiting the result of the trial.
The trial is before a jury and it will
probably be concluded today.

PECULIAR CASE TRIED
BEFORE LAND OFFICERS
State Asks to Exchange Property
Given It by Government for
Other of an Agricul-
turai Nature

At the United States land office of
Los Angeles. General Frank G. Pres
colt, register, and o. r. w. Robinson,
receiver, a peculiar case was on trial
yesterday under the head of lieu
lands"
"All government land is divided so
that a certain portion falls to the
state" said General Prescott, land from
the agricultural products of that land
this state gains money to eXpend on
public schools. When the land so
awarded for that purpose to the state Is
found to be mineral bearing rather than
agricultural, then the state asks the
government to allow it to take other
land in lieu of this mineral land. Hence
the name lieu land, or lana taken III
place of others.
This particular case heard by Re-
ceiver Robinson and myself today was
where the state of California claims
land described as seption 16, north, Is
east, was mineral, and asked that IT
might exchange for this land in Dandy
dry lake some property of the same
extent in the Sacramento district.
"The commissioner ordered hearing
before us, i'm this Office, to determine
whether it should be proven mineral
lands.
The Land Is in a Dry Lake
1.-The testimony of the witnesses, four
in number, one of whom was County
Surveyor Marion l.. Cook of San Ber-
nardino county, showed the land in
question was within the bed of Dandy
dry lake; that it was covered with
sand impregnated with salt, deposits
of gypsum underlying rock salt. 1t
was devoid of vegetation, and accord
inglv this court found that it was min
eral land.
Hence the state may exchange this
land for other property which will
yield agricultural products"
