MACHINIST RECEIVES
DECORATION FOR HERoISM
Award English Mechanic Kings
Medal for Brave Act

YONKERS, N. Y, July 25-Thomas
A. Broadbent. a slender young Eng
lihsman, who came to work as ma
chinist in a factory here six months
ago, has received a kings medal from
the British government in recognition
of his having performed the most
heroic act of the year 1909 in all the
English maritime service"
Broadbent was on the ship Fantee,
which left Liverpool August 26, 1909,
for the west coast of Africa. Off cape
Palmas, Liberia, the ship ran upon a
reef and 1t became necessary for all
hands to get to work shifting cargo.
This included some Jars of acid, which
when mixed with water generated a
deadly gas. In a lower hold where six
men were working the ships Carpen-
ter the captain and the first mate in
hailed the gas and dropped dead. Three
seamen who were just outside the
death scene fell unconscious.
When this was discovered there were
calls for volunteers to bring back the
living. Broadbent volunteered and,
with a rope about his middle, was low
cred into the chamber of death One
at a time he brought the three sailors
to the fresh air and then, barely con-
scious, he was lowered again at his
own request to bring up the captain
body.
This time he collapsed and was de-
lirous for five weeks. The ship itself
was subsequently succored by another
vessel and Broadbent came to this
country.

FORMER ANGELENO
SHOT At PORTLAND
Row H. Irwin, Secretary of Inland
irrigation Company, Victim
of Mysterious Assault
ASSOCIATED Press)

PORTLAND, Ore, July 25.-Row H.
Irwin, formerly of Los Angeles, secre-
tary of the Inland Irrigation COM
pany was mysteriously shot within
fifty feet of his residence at 616 North
rup street late last night. He will
probably recover. The shooting fol-
lowed a rough and tumble fight be-
tween Irwin and two other men.
irwin is at a hospital, where the
physicians have located the bullet at
the base of the brain. Part of his jaw
is shot away and his tongue cut in
twain. After reviving from an anaes-
thetic he said he was ignorant of the
identity of the men who assailed him
and believes they were bent on rob-
bing him. This belief is shared by
his wife and his sister-in-law, Mrs. c.
E. Burt, also recently of Los Angeles.
According to neighbors of the Twins,
the noise of the shot was heard while
the scuffle was in progress. 1t was
not until these neighbors had run to
the street that the two strangers took
to their heels.
Immediately after this Mrs. Irwin
and her sister came running from their
house and discovered the identity of
the injured man. They assisted Irwin
t his house and hearing a wagon
passing a few moments later, per-
suaded the driver to take Irwin and
his wife to the Ramapo hotel where
they asked for room.
The hotel people refused to take the
injured man in, saying the proper
place for him was a hospital. An
ambulance was sent for and Irwin was
taken there.
Practically nothing could be learned
regarding Irwin or the company of
which he is secretary. Mrs. Irwin is
hysterical and Mrs. Burt reticent. She
declined at first even to tell her own
name. Later she said Irwin recently
came from Los Angeles. AS to her
self, on one occasion she said she
had lived here some time; later she
declared she came here with the
Twins. She also asserted that two at
tempts to break into the Irwin house
occurred SATURDAYS night, one about 9
o'clock in the evening and the other
shortly after midnight

CHANGES MADE IN
NATIONAL FORESTS
President Orders Some Califor-
mia Lands Restored to
Settlement
TRANSFER REDUCES SEoU0IA
Additions Are Scattered Areas
Valuable as Watershed
Protection

WASHINGTON D. c., July 25.-The
tive July /, 1910, eliminating 65,490
acres from, and adding 1889 acres to
the Sequoia national forest, California,
transferring 175,730 acres from the
Sierra national forest to the Sequoia,
and establishing the Kern national
forest by the division of the Sequo; a.
The areas excluded by the Sequoia
proclamation are scattered along the
west boundary of the forest and are
lands which, upon a very careful ex-
animation made by the secretary of
agriculture last summer, were found
to be not chiefly valuable for national
forest purposes. They comprise areas
lying north and east of Squaw valley,
southeast of AuIland northeast of
Lemon Cove and west of White river.
The additions to the Sequoia are To-
Gated along the western boundary and
consist of scattered tracts which were
found to be best adapted to forest
uses and watershed protection. The
main areas added lie northwest Of
Milo and northeast of Daunt
The area transferred from the Sierra
to the Sequoia comprises that portion
of the watershed of the south fork of
Kings river which lies north of the
river The entire watershed of the
south fork Of Kings river Is thus now
within the Sequoia forest. The area
of the reduced Sequoia forest is ap-
proximately 1850 acres, and that Of
the Sierra approximately 1,759,950 acres.
The new unit, to be known as the
eKrn national forest has an area of
approximately 1851, ,191 acres and COM
prises that portion of the old Sequoia
forest lying east of Kern river and
south of the north boundary of Kern
county. The headquarters of the new
forest will be located at Bakersfield.
The unappropriated portions of the
areas eliminated by this proclamation
will be restored to settlement and en-
try after having been advertised in the
local papers by the secretary of the
interior.

BOY LEADER OF THIEVES
CONFESSES TO R0BBERIES
Asserts Gang Stole $1150 in Sill
VerWare and Cash

YONKERS, N. Y, July 25.-Alexan-
der Kellogg, named as their leader by
two boys who were captured Saturday
at the mouth of cave filled with loot
in Van Courtlandt park, is under ar
rest here today. His uncle, a New
York lawyer, had advised him to give
himself up.
The police say he made full 'con-
fession. He is 13 years old. The glst
of his confession as given out by the
police is that when he lived at New
Haven, two years ago, he fell in with
a gang of elder youths, who taught
him how to break into houses.
He was arrested and sent to the
reform school, but later was paroled
when his family moved out of the
state. Since then he lived straight
until month ago, when his stories
of what he could do led boys of his
acquaintance to demand proofs. He
showed them and was chosen their
leader. In all, he asserted, they stole
about $3.50 in cash and $1,000 in silver
ware.

FOOTHILL FARMS
NEAR THIS CITY

Have you ever hoped to have homo
of one, five or ten acres-on the foothill
slopes near Los Angeles?
Haven't you wished that some friend
had taken you by the shoulder and
made you pick up a few acres at Holly
wood Altadena or Sierra Madre, before
they advanced from $500 up to $4,000 an
acre? Those places have passed for
ever from your easy reach.
The Western Empire, Callfornia's
famous home seekers and rural home
journal, is now completing an organlza-
ton of 200 local and eastern readers to
take over 1400 acres of land at Sunland,
in the original Monte Vista valley. This
district surpasses Altadena or even
Redlands in it's richness and grandeur,
and is only fifteen miles from the
Chamber of Commerce building in Los
Angeles
John McGroarty, the famous poet of
our southland, says of his visit And
1 saw vale that day as fair as any in
all the Land of the Hearts Desire. L
was ashamed to think that I had let
the years go by and had wandered far
in quest of beauty, while all the TINA
Sunland's Monte Vista had been there
in it's ravishing loveliness Just beyond
the threshold of my door"
A few heads of families may Join this
organization, which secures this land
at q low wholesale price, improves it
with roadways, townsite, schools and
trolley line, and distributes the land to
members so that the total cost to you
is not one-quarter of prevailing prices
in the open retail market.
When this kind of land is opened 1t
goes up beyond your reach. The district
lies in an open valley running from Pas
adena west to Fernando, including La
Canada, La Crescenta and Monte Wis
ta-Sunland. Don't try to imagine
about it's conditions-come and inves-
tigate. 1t Is only one hour from town.
The editor of the Western Empire
has managed the location of eight sue
cessful town projects on this same plan.
This is your foothill home opportun-
ity. Level, rich in productivity and
water. frostless, balmy, and 1900 feet

SHAKE COINS IN BURLAP
BAGS TO GET GOLD ING0TS
Government Special Agents Dis
cover Unusual Industry

NEW YORK, July 25.-secret service
agents who have been at work in the
Maiden Lane jewelry district have
found that gold is being obtained from
coins and sold, the coins being put
back into circulation apparently as
good as ever. The process consists in
placing the coins in a burlap bag which
is shaken vigorously. Thus tiny
flakes of metal are knocked off the
coins and cling to the bag, which is
then burned, the gold melting into wee
ingots. The treasury department at
Washington has been getting back
lately large quantities of gold coins,
which seemed more scratched and
battered than ordinary. Under the
microscope it became evident that
these coins had been handled with
strange violence Special agents We're
sent here to investigate, and soon un-
covered the industry of shaking the
coints in burlap bags.
