SAN BERNARDINO. March 27.-En-

the police OF that city.

reached down, drew a S2-caliber re-
volver and emptied 1t into a crowd oil
Mexican orange pickers who were
standing beside the track. one sho'
struck Guadelupi Arvias in the arm
and narrowly missing penetrating his
body.
When the officers attempted to place
Somers under arrest he denied that ne
was the man wanted, but finally ad-
mitted that he had done the shooting,
When searched the revolver was not
found on his person, but later con-
ductor Enloe who was in charge or the
train, turned 1t over to the arresting
officers.
Somers claims that he did not shoot
to hit anyone but simply to frighten
them. surprising that he was aiming
over the heads of the gang by one OF

Railroad men are very bitter IN their
denunciation of orange pickers in this

claiming that 1t is almost matter OF
daily occurrence for Mexicans and
other pedestrians to throw missiles al
the passing trains.
Somers was taken to Riverside late
this evening by Deputy Sheriff Wallace
Evans.

LOS ANGELES MAN FILES
ON DEPOSIT OF NITRATE
Makes Seventy-six Locations, Con-
trolling, with Relatives, the
Whole of Vast Area

SAN BERNARDINO, March "a.
q. Mum of Los Angeles and formerly
of San Jacinto today filed seventy-six
nitrate locations of 100 acres each The
immense nitrate deposits covered by
these locations are located forty miles
due south of Needles and half mile
west of the Colorado river.
At present practically all the nitrate
used in the United States is furnished
by Chile, and last year 100000 tons
of that commodity were landed at San
Pedro. In the case of war the United
States would be cut off from securing
its supply of nitrate from that coun-
try, and this discovery is considered
of vital Importance to this government.
Mr.. Mum states that by shipping
this product of the Colorado river to
Needles, from which point 1t can be
handled by freight, he can land the
nitrate in Southern California at one
half the cost of the present Transport
tation of that commodity from Chile.
The whole of the vast field is con-
trolled by Mr.. Mum and a number Of
relatives.

BOY OF FOURTEEN YEARS
LEADS GANG OF THIEVES
Arrest of Three Urchins Reveals Ex-
istencc of Youthful Organ
lied 5rigands

PARIS, March 27-Asnieres, the live
ly suburb of Paris, has the dubious
honor of having harbored in its midst
the youngest brigand chief perhaps
known, boy of IA. How this lad was
able to direct formidable gang of
thieves and robbers, and have under
his orders ,other outlaws several years
explained when he is brought up for
trial. He would probably still be at
large if it had not been for the informa-
ton given by his confederates, who
were all caught before the police could
lay their hands on him.
He answered to the rather noble APP
pellation of something like 1.-THE
his hangers on with knives and fire.
arms. His band consisted of eight or
ten youngsters like himself, between IL
and 16 years of age, and their scheme
was to enter small but fiourishing
shops, break open the cash boxes and
make off with the contents. The opera
lions were exceedingly lucrative, and in
a short time they had collected booty
worth $500. 1t was quite usual for
them to find $50 or 800 in cash in each
box.
Complaints naturally poured in from
all sides, and the police thought they
had to do with a gang of old expert
enced jailbirds. But things turned out
otherwise when a policeman happened
to notice three ragged-looking young
sters go into a bar and change bank
note, showing at the same time that
they had plenty of gold pieces. The
policeman inferred that the lads could
not have come by so much money by
lawful means, and took them to the
station, where they admitted belonging
to an organized gang. They refused,
however, to give the name of their
ringleader until all the other members
of the band, two of whom had revolv-
ers in their possession, were arrested.

CITY AUDITOR SENDS OUT
STARTLING EDlCT
HIRING ENTERTAINER MEANS
PAYMENT OF TAXES
Official Ruling Tantamount to Decla-
ration That Lecture and Lyceum
Courses Must Be ADAM
doned
rsnscial to The HERALD

PASADENA, March 27.-Startling to
the church people of Pasadena is the
edict issued from the office of the city
auditor today and based on a careful
study of the laws of the state. Under
Auditor Kellogg's ruling, if a church
wishes to avoid taxation it must not
enter into competition with places of
public amusement.
This does not bar the giving of enter
tainments, as the laws are interpreted
by the city auditor, but simply means
that all entertainers must give their
services free to the church, and all
proceeds from such entertainments
much be used for church. purposes.
The moment a church pays perform
err or entertainer, according to the
ruling, it enters the class of public
amusement enterprises and ceases to
be exempt from taxation. Practically
it means the abolition of the lecture
and lyceum courses which many of
the churches give every year.
