Relatives of Suspected
Murderer.
HE WAS BORN IN coNElos.
Known by Early Associates TO BE n
Bad Man and One Who
Would Kill

when Joe sullivan. charged with the
murder OF Police officer Charles S.
Ford, was captured in Portland and
subsequently returned to this city for
trial, the search for Joe Garcia, the
Mexican Chinese was not ended. Chief
of Police Pitt has not given up hope
of landing the man who was a pal
of Sullivan when the pair held UP sew
eral men in the Albany bar and later
killed officer Ford on the night of Dec.
IA.
Thousands OF letters and photographs
of Garcia were sent out by Chief Pitt
and as result of letters written to the
authorities of hundreds OF cities, the
chief has been able to locate relatives
of the man wanted and 1t is believed
that Garcia will yet be captured.
REAL NAME GALLO GARCIA.
Through letters received from Colo
RADIO officers, 1t is learned that Garola's
real name is Gallo Garcia and that he
was born in Conejos, a small Mexican
village on the frontier in southern
Colorado. Sheriff McGregor OF Cone
jos has been working ON the case and
through him and one of his deputies,
an officer named Gl1-ard, the Salt Lake
police have been able to locate Gar
cia's relatives.
AT Capulin Colo. there is an uncle
of the man wanted. His name is
Bonifacio Trujllo. j. N. Garcia, u
brother of the suspected murderer, re-
sides at Rock Springs, Wyoming, and
another brother, named Fraelau Gar
cha, and sister. reside at Del Norte.
Colo The man also has relatives at
Lumbertown and Alamo. A careful
search for the man is being made In
the towns of Alamo, Lumbertown, Ca
pulin and Conejos, and Rock Springs is
also being watched. The brother at
Lumbertown is named Sepriano Gar
cia.
SAYS HE is BAD MAN.
According to the letter receied yes
terday by Chief Pitt from the Colo
RADIO officer, Garcia moved from Conejos
to Capulin and then went TO Del Norte.
He herded sheep at Grand Junction for
a man named Raymond Martenez In
the letter the officer says: ''He was
bad man and I believe he is the one
who shot Patrolman Ford
A careful watch Is being kept on all
these places and the relatives of the
alleged murderer are being closely
watched. The officers believe that
sooner or later Garcia win visit a
brother or sister and that then he will
be captured. Detectives are work
ing on the latest clues and there will
be no let up in the search until the
man is under arrest and In prison as
Joe Sullivan Is awaiting trial on the
charge of murder.

All Thought the Same.

P. A. 3. Widener tells this story
on himself. 1t is the custom of one Of
the railway board of directors Of
which he Is a member to pay each
director who attends a board meet
ing $40, and the money due the abb
sentees is divided among those pre-
sent.
On one blizzardy day when the
board was scheduled to meet Mr..
Widener figured that the snow and
cold would keep the other members
away from the meeting. and he de-
termined to attend. and thus secure
the fees of all the absentees as we'll
as his own fee. Not that Mr.. Widen
er needed the money; but he chuck
led as he thought OF the joke he
would have on all his fellow direct
ors. So he put up with the incon-
veniences and dangers of the storm
and made his way to the boards
meeting place. His amazement was
complete when he entered the room
and found that every other member
had preceded him. The intended
Joke was too good, and he frankly
told of his purpose in turning out
on such wretched and death invit-
ing day.
The other board members laugh
ed heartily. and before many minutes
had elapsed all had confessed that
they were present as result OF the
same mental figuring. Each had
thought as Mr.. Widener had-that
he would capture his own and all his
fellow members fees. But each had
to be satisfied with the usual $40.

An Ancient Tunnel.

Scientists have discovered evidence
to show that a work similar to that
Of the famous Simplon tunnel but on
smaller scale. was executed some
twenty-four centuries ago. Owing
to the bad state of the water supply
Of Jerusalem. the king ordered a
reservoir to be made at the gates Of
the city to which water was to be
brought from various springs. The
Shilo tunnel, by means of which the
water was to be conveyed from a
source to the east of Jerusalem and
poured into the pool of Sloan was
1,OS0 feet long, and in straight
line. 1t has been learned that work
was begun at both ends of the tunnel
and the direction was altered a num-
ber of times. The floor of this an
cient tunnel was finished with great
care. The width varied from one to
three feet and the height from three
TO nine feet, Scientists are engaged
in speculation as to how the ancient
engineers gagged their direction so
as to be able to reckon and correct
errors in Washington

Fishing From Car Windows.

Passengers on Southern Pacific

trolling from car windows for fish in
the Salton Sea and good catches have
been made. About midway on the
sea as arroyo extends back into the

on a trestle The water is fifteen to
twenty-five feet deep. and 1t has be-
come a custom OF the dining car por-
ter to throw the scraps overheard
from the table there. Thousands
of fish of all sizes lie in walt for
the train and can be easily seen.
Recently an irrepresslble fisher
man prpared his hook and line, and
as the train slowly Numbered over
the long trestle swung 1t far out
over the water. This the fish mis-
took for their customary meal, and
a voracious carp three feet long seiz-

Reports to Board of Agriculture Show
That New and Improved Methods
Are Being Used by Farmers.

The recent financial stringency
did not seriously affect the farmers
of Pennsylvania, according to the
reports ol the Standing Committees
of the State Board Of Agriculture,
which held its annual session i'll
Harrisburg last week. Moreover,
the farmers are prosperous, there
being few Improbable farms. New
methods are being applied to farm
ing and numerous suggestions along
this line were made by members of
the board.
r.. J. Weld, of Sugar Grove, rep
resenting the Committee on Dairy
and Dairy Products, reported that
while the price of dairy products
has increased the past year, the
profits are smaller, because of i'll
crease in the cost of feeding stuffs.
A report of Horticulture was pre-
scented by Edward Lonsdale, of
Philadelphia, and George G.. Hut
Crimson, of Warriors Mark, report
ed that feeding stuffs which do not
reach the legal standard are being
drawn out of the Pennsylvania
markets.
1t was suggested by State Zoolo-
gist Surface that the fruit growers
should use precautionary measures
to keep out moth for the eradica.
ton of which the State of Massa-
chusetts expended SIoo, 900 last
year.
The spread of tuberculosis among
cattle has been checked, according
to State Veterinarian Pearson, and
the new meat inspection law is pro-
ducing satisfactory results.
John Hamilton, of the National
Department of Agriculture, told
the farmers to pay more attention
to wheat growing. He said the
production Of wheat in the United
States was becoming less per acre
every year, and unless the matter
were given attention this country
in twenty years would be importing
wheat instead of shipping it abroad.
