KILLING AT LOS CERRIToS.

Bob Land, young man about
10 years old, son of Joseph Land,
prominent farmer living near
Los Cerritos, was shot and al
most instantly killed Monday night
by Boneofacio Romero of Los
Cerritos. The shooting occurred
about 10 O'Clock in saloon at
Los Cerrctos and number of
witnesses were present. They all
tell about the same story which
is to the effect that the killing
was unprovoked and was the re-
suit of too much liquor. The two
men were sitting in the bar room
talking when the fight started and
young Land was evidently hit on
the head with gun. There was
scalp wound nearly six inches
long and a hole in his skull such
as might have been made by the
hammer of gun. There was also
bullet hole near his heart He
lived about 25 minutes after be-
ing shot.
Sheriff McGregor arrested Ro-
nero soon after the shooting and
he is now in the county Jail await
ing his preliminary trial which
will be held as soon as District
Attorney Moses can arrange to
attend. Romero claims the shoot
ing was an accident and took place
turing a friendly scuffle but the
sheriff believes that there is con-
siderable evidence pointing to de-
liberate murder.
Bob Land is well known in La
lara and passed through town the
day of the killing. He was driv-
ing Wetzler Bros. traction engine,
having been employed with their
threshing machine crew for several
months. He has a number of
relatives in this vicinity and his
untimely end is regretted by all.

DEER PARK. MD. June Ia
That government ownership OF the
railroads would be the outcome or the
trend of congressional legislation was
the opin on expressed today by presl-
dent Daniel Willard. OF the Baltimore
* Ohio Railroad. at conference here
of the companys officials.
MIR willard said that he did not
believe that such a result would be
to the best interests OF the country
for. on the basis of rates and sorNlce,
governmental ownership OF even eX-
acting regulation, had not been
proven to be such abroad Freight
rates, he declared. were far lower
here than in any other country and
had been going downward in face OF
reverse as to. operating expenses.
Mr. Willard announced that the
policy of his administration was to be
a recognition of the changed condl-
tons regarding supervision or iall-
roads. and strict adherence to the
SITS tutcs so long as their validity was
undis,urbed by Judicial declaration OF
unconstitutionality. In Urging upon
the officials the necessity TOR com
plete unity in working for the com
pany's interest, Mr.. willard pointed
out that increased wages on the Bal

"Oh. Mr.. Ludlow" cried Mrs. Ham

He's with us.
Hamilton was moving with admira-
BILE steadiness at an average OF slight
~ less than fifty miles an hour. The
first point of critical interest was

the Raritan river to cross, roofs. fac.

across the heart OF the town. In
passing through the city the engineer
had slowed down a little and the aero
plane began 10 gain. Mrs. Hamilton
and Mrs. Beaudette ran TO the for
ward coach for better view.
Worst Spot in Journey.
The train was nearing Trenton and
Hamilton began to mount higher and
higher. Here was the wOrs, spot OF
his Journey. Here was The wide
Delaware river to cross with steep
banks at either side; here was a broad
city with no paths dividing it but
the railway tracks; and here was the
possible danger of those erratic air
currents that often follow river.
Moreover, the railroad tracks were
depressed in deep cut and spanned
by frequent bridges. Hamilton plan
ned to 20 up 300 feet in crossing
Trenton. In fact, he rose only 10
some 500. when | began to climb,
he said later, Il found the wind
blowing head on and blowing much
harder, too. Throughout my trip it
was the same way. That is why flew
at nearly uniform level of $50
feet"
Now the train was beginning to
hit through the suburbs of Philadel-
phia. The crowds increased until
they hid the hillsides and fringed the
roofs like black netting. Hamilton
left the train to go to the aviation
field. Instead of alghting, he circled
the field four times slowly, to give
the people full chance to- see him and
then settled with a dive that made
the crowd catch its breath.
Hurries to Return.
Hamilton ate only slice of cake
end swallowed a cup of coffee. Then
he was back to the field and off again
before the special train could be dis
engaged from the yard where it was
sidetracked.

CRUSHED UNDER CAR AS
HE SEEKS A SHELTER.

As the result of being caught by the
brake rigging of a freight car on the
Central railroad yesterday afternoon.
Michael Shotner, g. years old, of Il
Joseph street. is today lying in St
James's Hospital in a serious condi-
ton.
The accident happened on the branch
of the Central between the Morris
canal and Albert Shotner had
sought protection from the rain against
the ear and was caught when the car
suddenly started. He was dragged
about thirty feet before h train could
be stopped. When taken to the hos
pital it was found that several ribs
had been broken and his left knee so
badly crushed that it will probably
prove a fatal injury.
He had been employed as a helper in
the meat shop of Joseph Garden, IL
Joseph street, and left home yesterday
morning. saying that he was going to
take a holiday.
