RANCHER IS SHOT,

Fruit PeddIerS
BULLET ENTERS BELOW LUNG
Farmers Turning in Road Ahead
of Accused the Supposed
Cause of Shooting

AS result of a dispute over rules Of
the road, Robert Lawson, a rancher
living south Of Huntington Park, was
shot through the right side late yester-
day afternoon on Santa Fe avenue,
Huntington Park, and Joe Madice, a
fruit peddler, and his companion, Tony
Manche, 18 years old, were arrested by
Lieut.. H. r. w. Kriege and Patrolman
Schreiner on charges Of assault with a
deadly weapon.
1t appears that Lawson and com.
panion were driving a buggy in Santa
Fe avenue when they overlook Madice
and Manche, who were riding in a wag.
on loaded with fruit. Lawson, it seems,
was driving fast horse and turned in
ahead of Madice, causing the latter to
turn out into ditch.
After hot words were passed, Madice,
it is alleged, drew a revolver and shot
Lawson. The bullet entered the right
side, just below the lung, passed
through the body and lodged under the
skin below the shoulder blade.
The italian then whipped UP his
horses and hurried down the road.
The wounded man was taken to a
drug store in Huntington Park, where a
physician extracted the bullet, band
aged the wound and sent Lawson to
his home.
The University police station was no.
titled and Lieut. Kriege and Patrolman
Schreiner hurried to the scene, traced
Central avenue, where the men were
arrested.
After being booked at the University
station the accused were turned over to
Deputy Sheriff Dan Crowley and locked
up in the county Jail.

CHARGED WITH STEALING
MONEY FROM DEAD MAN
EmbaImer Is Accused of Taking
1855 in Money Belt from
Tourists Body

Accused of stealing 1855 from the
body of S. G. Winchester, a tourist
from Philadelphia, who died on an
overland Santa Fe train near Needles
September 2, Albert H. Phifer, an en-
balmer, was arrested by Deputy Sher-
iff ]. c. West of Needles and Detec-
tive p. H. Murray while emerging from
the surf at Ocean Park yesterday
afternoon. The officers say Phifer
made a full confession and returned
5000 of the stolen money.
1t seems that Winchester was on
his way to Southern California for his
health. He was accompanied by a
friend, who was taking care of him.
AS the train neared Needles Winches-
ter died. The body was taken to the
undertaking parlors of D. B. Metcalf
at Needles.
Phifer, who was employed as an
embalmer by Metcalf, was ordered to
prepare the body for burial. He un-
dressed the corpse and, 1t is alleged,
found a money belt strapped around
the waist. He is charged with having
opened the receptacle and taken 1856.
The following day Phifer boarded a
train for Los Angeles.
Later the friend who accompanied
Winchester asked for the money which
the dead man was known to have in
his possession. The money was not
found, but a search resulted in the
finding of the empty money belt in a
rubbish pile in the rear of the under
taking establishment.
Deputy Sheriff West came to Los
Angeles and learned that Phifer was
registered at a local hotel. With De-
tective Murray the Needles officer
traced the man to Ocean Park and
placed him under arrest just as Phifer
swan ashore from bath in the ocean.
The accused was taken back TO
Needles last night.

NEW ROAD MAKES TRAFFIC
AGREEMENT WITH SANTA FE
Western Pacific Will Quote a
Through Freight Rate

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19.-Under
a traffic interchange agreement en-
tered into today between the Western
Pacific and Santa Fe railroads, a
through rate will be quoted on freight
from all points along the western Pa
cific from Ellko, New, to Stockton, Cal,
and, continuing along the Santa Fe
tracks, as far east in the southern
territory as Ell Paso, Tex.
H. M. Adams, representing the West
ern Pacific as freight traffic manager,
and Edward Chambers, assistant
freight agent of the Santa Fe, signed
the agreement.
The Santa Fe reaches only as far
north in the western territory as
Stockton, from which point the other
line will take it to Sacramento, Oro-
VILE and the Nevada sections under a
uniform rate. Southbound freight will
go through the San Joaquin valley to
Los Angeles and Arizona and Texas
points, via the Santa Fe.
Negotiations are now pending be-
tween the Western Pacific and the
North Pacific steamship company to
effect similar agreement for the
handling of freight between this point
and Puget sound.

CHARGED WITH PASSING
FICTITIOUS CHECKS
ReedIands Police Hope to Appre-
hend Horace C. Cook in
North California

REDLANDS, Sept. 1S.-The police to-
day sent out messages and descriptions
by which they hope to apprehend Hor-
ace G. Cook in Northern California,
Oregon or washington, and bring him
back here to answer to charge of
passing fictitious checks.
He first appeared in the First Nation
al bank and withdrew all the money in
his account, then went to another teller
and cashd a check for $40 against his
account. Later at the Santa Fe station
he purchased a ticket for Vancouver,
B. c., paying for it with check for
$35 that later proved worthless. The
checks were passed after closing hours
Thursday, and the action was not dis
covered until Saturday; hence Cook
was abe to make a successful getaway.
The police officers also are searching
for San Bernardino youth who drew
knife and threatened to kill a young
man from Redlands on the last car
from San Bernardino last night. The
shock of seeing the knife flash as the
wieider attempted to slash Harry Beal,
Rediands chauffeur and amateur
prize figster, caused Mrs. F. w. Lin
coin to faint. Beal and others over
powered the man and elected him from
the car.

the piece longer than the present week.

THROWS LIGHT ON
FREIGHT TARIFFS
New York Central Vice President
Tells How Railroads
Raise Rates
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Inside light
on how the higher freight tariffs were
made up was shed by Charles F. Daily,
vice president of the New York Central
lines, under cross-examination today
before the interstate commerce COM
mission, now inquiring into the pro-
posed increase in the freight rates in
the eastern territory.
Mr. DAILY said each road had decided
on its own increases in rates, and the
railroad representatives then met in
this city to check up results and make
the raises uniform.
''It would be suicidal for the roads to
have a different rate" said Mr. Daily.
Protection of commercial interests in
the different sections demands uni
form base"
Counsel desired to know when the
higher tariffs were decided upon, and
Mr.. DAILY said in June Of this year.
Counsel tried to learn if the adj
vance was contemplated before the
wage increase became a fact, but Mr..
DAILY would not admit 1t.
Replying to question how the rail-
roads had fixed the amount of increase
to be borne by each class of the freight,
Mr.. DAILY said the railroads needed
more money and apportioned their
needs to the different classes of freight
as seemed best.
r.

carried as high class. Regarding the
increase Mr.. Daily was asked If the
luxuries would cost a little more to the
people and the shippers.

no practical effect in many individual
cases" replied the witness.
what effect on the man who sells
foods?"
Every little; it will be more than
gained by the improved conditions Of
the railways of the country and its aid
to general business" replied Mr.. DAILY.
"Are women's dresses, children's
clothing and shoes in these freight lux
uries?"
Eyes"
'Then the men from st. Louis who
buy shoes from New, England factories
must pay this higher freight. The
money will be taken out of their pock..
cts and transferred to the Golfers of
the New York Central?"
"Some of it is paid back to the men
who buy the shoes-we keep very little
of it. 1t goes out almost as fast as 1t
