REPORT FROM COMMITTEE
BASEMENT FOR DETECTIVES

/ That penalty of s per cent be added to
all District taxes remaining unpaid on
June each year is a suggestion made to
the Commissioners this morning in a re-
port presented by the committee recently
appointed to investigate the present
methods Of the collection Of taxes and to
recommend any changes which may be
deemed necessary to improve existing
conditions.
The committee also recommended a
change Of offices In the District building
which would result in a. simplification of
the collection of taxes and greater con-
venience to taxpayers.
Would Hasten Payments.
The present penalty on delinquent taxes
is 1 per cent per month, beginning with
June. This amounts to 12 per cent a
year. per cent being added each month.
The committee, in recommending the i'm
position of penalty Of 8 per cent. to
become effective June l. and q further
penalty Of an additional per cent, to
become effective December I, sets forth
in its report the belief that such a
method would have the result of forcing
taxpayers into paying their taxes much
earlier than they do at present. The net
amount of interest would be the same
in the end.
The committee reports that the pro-
posed increase in the penalty would give
to the District all the money that is
due 1t within the year in which its bills
have to be met.
Under the existing arrangement OF Offices
in the District building the assessor s
office occupies portions Of two floors, be-

STRANGER TO WATER Is
RESCUED BY LIFE GUARDS

OCEAN PARK, June 19.-Attempts
on the part of P. NJ Murphy a Los
Angeles aqueduct employe, to demon
strate his swimming ability this morn
ing for a while threatened to cause the
big tank in the local salt water plunge
to run dry. Murphy forgot one of the
primary rules of swimming namely, to
keep the mouth closed when diving,
and as a result became the receptacle
for nearly a quart Of salt water.
Murphy came to the bath house and
confded to the man in charge Of the
bath rooms that he had been working
on the aqueduct on the desert for more
than a year and had not enjoyed a
swim in the entire period. He followed
this statement with another to the eff
feet that he could show the best of the
aquatic performers points when it came
to doing fancy swimming. Decked In
q bright red suit, he emerged from the
dressing room and started to enter the
tank.
Needless Of the signs designating the
depth Of water, he stepped off the edge
at the deep water end. 1t was but a
short time before the life guard, who
had deftly rescued him, was rolling him
over and over in an effort to remove
the superhuous salt water Bath house
attendants said Murphy forgot about
his swimming pedigree and fastened
back to Los Angeles with a parting
word to the effect that it was back to
the aqueduct" for him.

DUSKY SOUTHERN MAID
CAUSE OF SHOOTING
Man Captured in Los Angeles
Winner in Game for
NegreSs' Hand

SAN BERNARDINO, June ia
comedy of the desert has developed in
the arrest of Red Hamilton, appre-
hended in Los Angeles on the request
of the local sheriff's force charged
with assault to murder.
Hamilton and another negro were in
love with dark skinned maiden from
South Carolina, who a few weeks ago
took up her residence at Needles. The
two men finally agreed to settle the
controversy as to who was to be the
lucky man with a game of cards, the
winner to take the prize.
The game was progressing in the
favor of Hamilton, when the other
negro, Hamilton alleges, was dis
covered with entirely too many extra
cards up his sleeve. At that point
Hamilton brought his six shooter into
play, being determined not to lose the
lady by foul play, and when the smoke
cleared away his rival was lying on
the floor with a bullet in his thigh.
1t is said that the object of the
rivary has decided Hamilton was the
winner and is to assist him in freeing
himself from the charge.

GOPHER SNAKE DRIVES
RATS FROM BIG BLOCK

SAN BERNARDINO, June ia big
gopher snake which escaped from a
travelling snake charmer a number of
months ago has been busying itself in
ridding the Richardson block, on Court
street, of hundreds of rats which for
years have infested the place.
Several months ago it was noticed
that the army of rats that had made
their haunts about the building were
rapidly decreasing, and the discovery
has only just been made that snake
was responsible for the disappearance
of the animals. Plumbers at work
under the floor discovered the snake.
1t had grown so large since it found
its way under the building that it
could not escape through the hole it
had entered. The snake is to be left
as it was found by the plumbers, to
continue it's work of eXterminating the
rodents.
Several owners of brick buildings
are contemplating imprisoning snakes
to catch the rats which infest their
blocks.
