EAST SIDE RESIDENTS
TO DEMAND HIGH SCHOOL
Meeting of Parent Teachers Associa-
tions Held and Plans Discussed
to Obtain Requirements

Parent teachers associations of East
Los Angeles met last night to discuss
ways and means to obtain a high
school for their section of the city,
and active steps will at once be taken
toward carrying out the ideas of the
members. The fact that the board of
education has declared there is not
money enough at present to give the
East Side a high school will not deter
the residents of the district from
waging their campaign, they say, and
the fight will be carried on to the end.
At last nights meeting committees
were chosen to act in various ways
One was appointed to circulate a petit
tion throughout the East Side, High
land Parfk and Garvanza, urging the
board Of education to give the section
a high school; another committee will
take the census of the district and
ascertain just how many pupils would
attend high school were the institution
located within walking distance, and
a third committee will arrange for a
mass meeting to be held April %.
EAST Side children spend $500
month in car fare under the present
arrangement" declared one of the
active workers last night This could
be saved their parents. who ought to
have something to say about the
schools. The district is large enough
to be considered, and we intend to
wage our fight until we have the school
accommodations sought"
The associations will hold another
meeting April 4, when progress of the
various committees will be received
and plans for the mass meeting to be
held three weeks later discussed.

COTTON FRUIT EXCHANGE
BUILDING Is DESTROYED
Circumstances Lead Authorities to Be-
lieVe lncendiary Made Efforts
to Burn Entire Town

SAN BERNARDINO, March Alt
is believed today that the total de-
struction of the Cotton fruit exchange
building is the result of the work of
a fanatic. who made another attempt
early this morning to fire the city of
Cotton.
The fruit exchange building, valued
at about 1856 900, was a huge structure,
built originally as a place to hold ag-
ricultural fairs. Despite the efforts of
the fire department the building
burned to its foundations.
Before the flames of the packing
house were finally extinguished, what
is believed to be another attempt to
start a disastrous fire was made near
the big oil tanks of the Cotton Hard
ware company. Here a large quantity
of rags saturated with oil were found
burning.
The Cotton fruit exchange building
is the second packing house within a
week to be destroyed by fire of un-
known origin, the building of the Pro-
ducers' association at Redlands being
destroyed Sunday night a week ago.

OBJECT OF SEARCH
CALDER OF BULLET CLEARS
BRAKEMAN OF CHARGE
Santa Fe EmpIoye Testifies He Fired
Shot, but investigation at Hos
pltal Proves Statement
Erroneous

Deep mystery surrounds tn case OF
Frncisco Marquee, 60 yers old, VINO
was found lying in the Salt Lake ran
road yards near Soto street yesterday
morning with a bullet wound in MS
stomach. G. w. Chamberlain,
brakeman employed by the Santa Fe
Railroad company. identified Marquee
as the man he shot with Al cahber
derringer Sunday night. When the sur
geons probed for the bullet they found
the wound was made by missile from
.32 caliber revolver or rifle. When
this was learned Chamberlain, who
had been placed in Jail on charge OF
assault with a deadly weapon, was
released from custody.
Marquee was found lying near
shack at the junction of Soto street
and the Salt Lake yards. Trainmen
passing the place yesterday morning
heard groans, and on investigating
found the old man lying on the ground
suffering from what at first appeared
to be a running abscess of the stom-
ach. The injured man was conveyed
to the receiving hospital in the police
ambulance and when examined by the
police surgeons was found to be suffer-
ing from a gunshot wound.
Detectives Mccain and Beaumont
We're detailed to make an investtga-
tion. They arrested G. w. Chamber
lain, who when he saw Marquee at the
receiving hospital positively identified
him as the man at whom he had shot
several blocks from his home at 1855
East Seventh street.
According to the story of Chamber
lain, there had been thefts of chick
ems from the homes of persons living
in his neighborhood, and for the past
twelve nights the hen roosts had been
invaded. He was on his way to work
when he detected two men, each car
rying two sacks of chickens. He says
he hurried to the home of man
named Morton, who lives near him,
and obtained a Al caliber derringer.
He told Morton he wanted the weapon
to catch some chicken thieves, and
Morton, who is thought to be a depu-
ty constable, promised him to get an
other revolver and follow.
Chamberlain says he chased the two
men, when one of them dropped his
burden and ran away. He pursued
the other man, and the latter also dis
carded his two sacks and started to
run. Chamberlain overlook him and
was holding him and awaiting the ar
rival of Morton. Suddenly the prisoner
wrenched loose and ran. Just as
Chamberlain was about to grab him
the man made n movement toward his
hip and Chamberlain fired. The man
then ran away and succeeded in get
ting away.
The detectives were positive that
Chamberlain was the man responsible
for the shooting, and locked him up
to await the outcome of the wound in
the stomach of Marquee. When the
bullet was removed from the injured
man and ii was learned that it was
from a much smaller gun, Chamber
lain was released.
After being operated on by the police
surgeons, who removed several inches
of lacerated intestines Marquee was
sent TO the county hospital. He is in
critical condition and chances for
his recovery are slight.

NO MONEY FOR TEACHERS,
SCHOOLS CLOSE EARLY
Pupils in Annexed Districts to Be
Given Eight~Month Term
Instead of Nine

At the meeting of the board of edu-
cation last night it was decided on
recommendation Of the superintendent
of both the high and common schools
that the school year of those districts
annexed to the city during the present
fiscal year should be nine months in
stead of ten. This action was made
necessary by the fact that the teachers
of those schools are paid out of the
funds transferred from the county to
the city school board at the time of
annexation, and as the teachers con-
tracts with the county only covered
nine months the city, having no sur
plus funds, is not in position to eX-
tend the contracts
The question Of further annexation
of outside school districts to the city
for school purposes was discussed by
the board and upon recommendation
of President Joseph Scott was referred
to the building committee for action
at it's meeting Thursday afternoon.
zone of these recently annexed dis
tricts," said Mr.. Scott, lis so far out
that the only way to reach it is to
take either a railroad train and waste
day going and coming or hire an
automobile. The building committee
will probably adopt a resolution op-
posing the future annexation of such
districts. Several members of the
chamber of commerce have recently
discussed the same subject with me.
The chamber will probably take SIM
liar action"
A petition from residents of Brook
lyn Heights, requesting the erection of
a school building in the northeastern
part of that district, was referred to
the building committee. The secretary
was authorized to notify the petition
ers that action would be taken on it
as soon as the board had sufficient
funds on hand.

RAIN LIGHT, But

LOW AVERAGE
Hay and Grain Fields viii Produce If
More Moisture Falls Within
the Next Three
Weeks

While the rain storm of yesterday
morning could make no pretensions of
being a cloudburst it was welcomed by
the farmers and growers, for in this
matter of rain conditions are such that
every little drop helps. The register
at the weather bureau in the Central
building showed there was a fall of
% of an inch. That is not quite a
quarter of an inch, but it looked and
sounded good to everybody while 1t
lasted And it was twice as much as
fell during the entire month of Feb
ruary.
The last rain of any consequence fell
on January is and 16. The rainfall OF
those two days was nothing remark
able, however. The seasons total rain
fall to this date is 1859. The season
in this instance begins July l. The
fall at this date last year was l6.IO.
The average seasons fall at this date
is 1859 1t will be seen that the tall
to this date is below the average and
far below the fall of last year
Yesterdays rain meant much 10
growers in Southern California. The
drouth had begun to assume a menac-
ing aspect and farmers were growing
alarmed at the prospects of small crops:
The few precious drops that arrived
yesterday will ward off absolute fall
ure for some time, and if they are fol-
lowed by more will mean the usuaI
Southern California success.
The weather bureau has very little
encouragement for the water wanters'
however. A. B. Wollaber, chief of the
government bureau, in the Central
building yesterday afternoon said:
"The storm over Nevada is expected
TO cause a continuance of unsettled
weather Tuesday, with possibility OF
showers. The chance for rain within
the next few days is very small"
The hay and grain crop has been es-
pecially affected by the dry weather

Reports from different localities IN

farmers and their belief that the rain

two or three weeks. by which time
more rain is expected.

"I am for the corporations so long as

state the corporations have gone be-
yond that" said Thomas Lee Woolwine
of Los Angeles in an address before the
Good Government league of Watts at

There are some worthy men in con-

"Some stand for the people; they are

traitors. Legislators have passed
seemingly good laws time and time
again that are mere fakes"
Speaking of the railroad commission,
Mr.. Woolwine said: "The railroad com
mission never has been for the people.
The people are writing a new declara-
ton of independence, and they are soon
to have the government back in their
hands. When you vote, consider your
man; if he is a railroad hireling in the

During the evening a musical pro-
gram, consisting of selections by the
Downey band and rousing campaign
songs by the Watts quartet, was rem
dered.
j. II. Hurley, president of the league,
made a short talk in which he stated

FRESNO DISTRICT VISITED
BY MUCH NEEDED SHOWERS
Flowing Vineyards and Grain Fields
Made Easier Because OF Light
but Penetrating Rainfall

FRESNO, Cal, March 14.-Rain that
started at an early hour this morning
and promises to continue throughout
the day has gladdened the farmers OF
this section. The showers, though not
heavy, are of the penetrating kind that
soften the ground and make ploWlng
that much easier.
Many of the vineyards Of TINS sec
tion had despaired of getting rain, and
for over a week past plowing has peen
in progress on at least one-thlrd or
the vineyards. The ground, however,
has been hardened by the long dry
spell of several we eks and the work
was exceedingly difficult.
The rain will also serve to make the
grain fields fit for plowing.
BAKERSFIELD, March 14.-Raln 10
the amount of .32 inch, the first since
February, fell here this morning, ana
the storm was general throughout the
county. 1t will be of great beneht to
the grain fields and stock ranges.

H>&auueuuuueauueutsreu -
The farmers and business men
of Larimore have club organiza-
tion that meets every week during
the winter months. The purpose
of this club is the study Of farm
topics and all problems that per-
tain to the betterment Of the farm
home. Supt. Hess Of the city
schools acts as leader. Out of town
speakers are secured from time to
time. On Feb. 18th Prof. w. C.
Palmer. of the Department Of COL
lege Extension. Agricultural COL
lege. addressed the club on the
subject of "Clover Growing and
Crop Rotation"
Mr.. Palmer stated that clover
can be, and is being grown with
success in many parts Of the state.
He said it is necessary to have
clover germs in the soil; that fail
ures are in very many cases due
to the absence of these germs. The
best way to supply them is to get
soil from a field that has grown
clover successfully and sow this
soil over the field seeded to clover.
The inoculated soil should be ap-
piled at the rate Of 100 to 200
pounds per acre, and thoroughly
narrowed in. Glover should al.
ways be seeded on fall blowing
we'll worked up in the spring.
Barley makes the best nurse crop.
A top dressing Of manure is al
ways beneficial in getting a stand.
On land that has never produced
clover it is a good idea to SOW
an extra amount of seed, say fif-
teen pounds per acre. Clover is
one of the best land improving
crops that can be grown.
The Larimore club is a decided
success. 1t is creating a large and
lively interest in agricultural
matters at Larimore and attracting
not a little comment from outside.
The Agricultural college stands
ready to lend a helping hand to
any community starting a similar
work.
