The most northern existing grove

Is on a moist fiat not far from Nevada

level. Tile first seeding was done In
the fall OF 1910. with very successful
results. and last fall an additional area
was seeded.
The method used IN planting the
seed was that known to forcsters as
The seed spot method" Spots about

ILLITERAcY DECREASING

It Is gratifying to learn from Off
cial figures furnished by the bureau
of the census at Washington, that in
the entire population Of the United
States the percentage of illiteracy de
clined from 1917 to TT in the decade
from 1900 to 1910. The decline
among children between the ages OF
10 and IA years was especially no
table the percentage of illiteracy be-
ing reduced from To to Al in the
ten years. The general decline OF
illiteracy marks the Improvement Of
educational opportunities throughout
the country and this Improvement Is
most distinctly measured in compar-
ing the children who have just pass
ed through the schools. Generally
speaking, each successive generation
in the United States show a small
er proportion of persons unable to
read and write and this proportion Is
always least for the children from
10 to IA years of age. From this 1t Is
evident that illteracy is considerably
less for children than for the aggre-
gate population. In 1910 the whole
number of children between 10 and
IA years of age, who were unable to
read and write, was 370,12O OF which
number 144,639 were white and 2lS,-
335 negroes, leaving somewhat more
than 1000 among Indians, Chinese,
and Japanese. Illiteracy among the
native white children has fallen to
II per cent, and among those OF
foreign or mixed parentage who for
the most part live in cities, the pro-
! portion Is as low as 0.6. On the 9TH
err hand, as many as 1873 per cent
of negro children are illiterate. In
all classes of the population mark
ed Improvement. Is noted in compar-
| ison with the census OF 1900. All
| figures show that illiteracy in the
| United States is being gradually ELI
minated and that when the present
generation of children shall have
grown to manhood and womanhood,
| illiteracy in this country, especially
among the white population, will be
not greater than in the most advanc-
ed countries in Europe. A significant
fact is that this striking diminution
in illiteracy among children in the
last ten years is found in all parts
of the United States and in the nor
thern part of the country has al
most entirely disappeared for in the
northern section the proportion is
considerably less than 1 per cent Of
the whole number Of children.

The would be dynamiter was iden-
titled as Carl War;, a German labor

In search of his home at S12
East Lake avenue, tax receipts bear
ing that name were found and after
much questioning by detectives, the
man admitted that 1t was his name.
He said also that more explosives
we're secreted in the vicinity of the
house and that when he recovered
from his injuries he would take the
police to the hiding place.

This evening he gave the following
reason for his act: II have been
studying the social evils Of southern
California for some time and have
come to the belief that the Southern
Pacific Electric company has made
it very hard for the working man.
1T was my intention to go to the
police station, where they would
know dynamite, and ask for Paul
Shoup, president of the Southern Pa
cific Electric. When he came, I was
going to demand that he guarantee

A hole had been cut In the poH
and the occupants Of the room saw
for the first time that the man
left hand was hidden in the box
They began to realize that 1t was
no joke.
Davis then walked into the once
Of Chief Sebastian and repeated MS
request that the head official OF the
Southern Pacific be summoned
Snively asked him If he had any
preference in the man he desired TO
blow up, and he replied that he only
wanted the head man.
Resort To Ruse
Snively then took down the teie-
nh ne receiver and pretended to hold
n conversation with Paul Shoup gen
eral manager of the Pacific Electric
company.
"Mr. Shoup is busy, but he VIII
be here in about fifteen minutes,
said Snively.
We'll, he'd better hurry" replied
Davis, I'm getting nervous.
In the meantime Chief Sebastian
who had had brief conversation
with the man and realized that he
was In earnest ordered the street
roped off for block either way and
took steps to have the 100 prison
ers in the city Jail removed. Upstairs
in the building two justice courts
were in session and both court rooms
were crowded.
A detective passed the word to
bailiff in Judge Chambers court
where Japanese was having pre-
liminary examination on a murder
charge before a crowd Of his coun-
trymen. The bailiff whispered to the
Judge.
Courts adjourned until 2 p. m.
Clear the court ROOM" ordered the
Judge promptly, and there was rush
for the stairway. A similar scene
was enacted in Justice Fredrickson's
court.
There were not sufficient patrol
wagons to remove the prisoners from
the Jail to the Boyle Heights prison
and two street cars were sent for.
It was an orderly procedure and the
prisoners were soon on their way to
the east side guarded by reserve
which had been called out.
Ambulances removed the patients
from the city emergency hospital

Los Angeles Nov. 19-Armed with
an Internal machine containing
enough dynamite to destroy an en-
tire city block, bottle of nitro-gly-
cerine and As calibre revolver a
masked maniac took possession Of
the central police station today and
held it for more than an hour, while
the hundreds Of occupants of the
building and those for blocks around
panic stricken sought the safety of
distance.
When Detective James Hosick
knocked the man unconscious with a
leather billy after slipping behind
him, the fuse of the internal machine
was automatically ignited. Without
thinking Of the consequences, Detec-
tive Samuel l.. Browne carried the
box outside the fuse spluttering and
splitting sparks, and hurled It into
the street. Sticks of high power dy-
Mantle scattered over the pavement
while hundreds of spectators stood
apparently paralyzed with fright,
awaiting the detonation that would
send them into eternity.
Explosion Averted
Through a freak of chance there
was no explosion and Browne con-
tinued kicking the sticks of dyna-
mite and jumping on the fuse until
he had broken the connections and
extingulshed the fire.
Lying manacled to a cot in the
receiving hospital tonight the would
be dynamiter, who gave his name
as Albert Henry Davis, is suffering
from several severe scalp wounds,
but the police surgeons say his in

Davis entered the outer room of
Chief of Police Sebastians office at
IL o'clock this morning. His face
and head were completely covered
with grotesque mask and he car
ried in his arms large box covered
with cloth. The box was strapped
around his shoulders and resembled
a small hand organ.

the strange spectacle. Police Ser

he wanted.
