ping power Of a bullet there were va
rious things to be taken into considera-
ton. One Of these was shock or the
blow action of the bullet and another
was the explosive effect of bullets hav
ing a high initial velocity.
Shock he described as general dis
turbance of the nervous system due to
a suddenly shattered bone, cavity en-
dition was marked by bodily and mental
depression which was often persistent.
The greater the blow action and the
greater the explosive effect the greater
self was generally temporary, seldom
fatal and 1t affected people differently.
Maj. Sage observed that, shock being
nervous disturbance. man with nerves
would not have any effect on q man
without nerves. Civilization, he said.
produces nerves and savages will stand
more punishment before being stopped
than civilized people will stand. The
reason for that situation is that the
more civilized man Is. the more nerves
he has. and the more nerves he has the
more keenly will he suffer If wounded
THE blow from a smaller bullet will
not be as great as blow from a larger
bullet travelling at the same speed. When
a bullet strikes tissue some Of Its en-
ergy is taken up in passing through
the body. If 1T strikes a bone, more en-
ergy will be taken UP. If the bullet de-
forms or expands 1t will do more dam
age than bullet which is not defcrmed.
A bullet stops in the body because all
its energy has been given up.
1.-THE explosive effect OF a high-power
bullet is strange thing, and you must
understand that this effect Is not pro-
duced by an explosion of the bullet.
Wounds made at close range by bullet
of very high velocity have sometimes
been alleged to have been made by e1-
plosive bullets. but the explosive effect
was produced by the terrific quickness
with which the bullet hit and displaced
tissue. Maj. Sage wrote: The energy
of a bullet in passing through a body Is
expended in overcoming resistance and
friction. in undergoing reformation and
in transmitting velocity to splintered
bone, and the liquids which are incom-
pressfble when particles cannot be
pressed more closely to one another
are forced to move with the velocity
which is impressed upon them by the
bullet. Considerable destructive effect
may be thus produced
when q bullet leaves the body after
passing through, the accumulated energy

knowledge of the charge that they
were federal troops lies in the fact
that two of the men in the party
of four were addressed as "major"
and "lieutenant." He admits they did
not wear the uniform of a Mexican
soldier. The statement that at the
time of the killing Pecina was a gov
ernment official in the immigration
service, is undoubted. but whether he
did the arresting of the party and rob-
bing of Sanchez is matter of doubt.

FINE REVIVAL MEETINGS
ARE BEING HELD DAILY

Tonight at the revival meetings be-
ing held at the State Street Chris
tan church Evangelist r. w. Abber-
ley will preach on the thrilling theme,
''The Tragedy of Calvary and Why ?"
Last night great audience gath
cred to hear the evangelist and enjoy
the singing of Mr.. Leon Rice. After
a hearty service of song and prayer
the evangelist spoke from the words
of Paul the apostle to Timothy: En-
dure hardness with me as good sol
der of Jesus Christ" If, as one has
said, "eloquence is as much In the
hearers as in the speaker" the pro-
found and rapt attention of the au--
dience last night must have inspired
the preacher in his great sermon on
the soldierly qualities of Christian.
The preacher emphasized that every
spiritual soldier is volunteer. There
is no conscription or coercion in the
army of God. We must enlist as regu-
lar soldiers and march forth with our
comrades in arms to the music of the
Cross. God gives us the armor of
righteousness, the shield of faith and
the sword of the spirit. Christ is a
captain who has never known defeat,
and will triumph over all evil and fin
ally over death and the grave. The
reunion of the old soldiers of the
Cross will come in the glory land of
Heaven.
When the invitation was given after
the discourse a man we'll up in years
went forward and united with the
church. Thus the evangelistic cam
paign starts with enthusiasm and
power.
Rev. W. G. Conley expressed at the
close his confidence in a great and
successful work being accomplished.
The Presbyterian and Baptist pastors
were present and participated in the
service. The meetings continue each
night at 1870.

Secures Opinion,
New Salary Law

Ever since the state teachers re-
tirement salary law went into effect
County Superintendent of Schools L..
E. Cooley has been piled with ques-
tions regarding the meaning of the
law and on two of the questions, which
appear to be not clearly understood,
the superintendent secured opinions
from State Superintendent of Public
instruction Edward Hyatt.
Mr.. Cooley's questions to the state
superintendent, and the answers, are
as follows:
"Hon. Edward Hyatt, Sacramento,
Cal.-Dear Sir: The state retirement
salary law brings with it many ques-
tions that are hard to answer. From
it | am confronted with several that
put one to thinking. l had made up
my mind / understood the law as it
was intended, but I am not so posi-
tive when the great. number of ques-
tions come in.
zone of them is: A teacher was
employed that is it was agreed to
employ her or retain her services for
the year 1918 and 1914 This was in
June. say the 9th, 1913. Does she
come under the law as being employed
previous TO June lOln, anu therefore
is no fee required to be paid to the
retirement fund? ?"
Answer: No. Her employment
could not begin till the beginning of
the year for which the was employed,
i. e., July l."
"Second, should the teacher with
several years experience, who did not
make application. hut did change dis
tricts, have the dollar taken from his
salary? For instance, John Smith has
taught ten years, but did not apply
for the pension; but did change from
X district to Y district, and was en-
ployed in the latter district June 90
1913. Should 81 per month be taken
from his salary? / have held that it
should be done. Am right? ?"
.Answer: Yes. No doubt about it.

Case of Sanchez
CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE]

ICoNTINUED FROM PAGE ONEl
The "major" said that so far as he
was concerned, he did not care, but
that he had been ordered by his com
mander to kill all three of the men.
Sanchez was shot first and he was
killed instantly. Valentia followed,
both men being shot through the
heart. Flores was fired at, and he
says that just as the revolver ex-
ploded he turned bit, and the bull
let was imbedded in his left arm. A
second time the soldier fired at him
and this time the bullet inflicted a
flesh wound in his breast. Flores
fell to the ground, and then it was
that the ruffian sought to give him a
final shot to make sure that he was
dead. This bullet grazed his neck
and buried itself in the sand. Then
thinking that the unfortunate man
had been dispatched, his hat was
placed on his upturned face, Flores
Stimulating death so cleverly that his
assailants thought the quietus had
DeeH administered.
Flores says that before the men
went across the line, and Immediately
upon being arrested by Pecina, that
Sanchez was relieved of $4OO in cash,
gold watch and ring by Pecina, he
telling them that the enemies of the
country had no further use for
money. He also says that on several
occasions before he had crossed the
line and had never been molested.
Sanchez and Flores are both Amer
lean citizens, the latter having been
born in Texas, and Mrs. Sanchez.
who is a native of Chihuahua, said
her husband had been naturalized in
Ell Paso eighteen years ago. There is
some doubt as to the American citi-
zenship of Valentia. in the opinion of
both Flores and the widow. Valen-
tia had but a slight acquaintance with
Sanchez, meeting him casually when
Sanchez went to Calexico on the hunt
of his daughter.
The visit of Flores and Mrs. San
chez to the district attorney yester-
day was to discuss with that official
for 100000 damages against the
Mexican government, but they were
told that under the circumstances
that could not be done. The proper
procedure would be to make COM
plete statement of the case, involv-
ing the establishment of the Amer
lean citizenship Of Sanchez and proof
of the allegation now made that the
murderers were Mexican soldiers. So
far as Flores is concerned, his only

MAINLY PERSONAL

County Superintendent of Schools
l.. E. Cooley is in the north end of
the valley today visiting the district
schools.
Father Schmidt, formerly in charge
of the Catholic church here, now of
Tulare, is visiting the city and look
ing after his new business block, at
the same time he is greeting host
of friends. The only expression that
he could make regarding Ell Centre
todav was: "My, you have wonder
full city here! A wonderful city!"
/. G. Lewis of the San Diego ex-
position is visiting Ell Centro ard
other points in the valley. it being his
first visit here since 1901, and he re-
ports that he sees quite little diff
ference between the valley now and
the way it was in the primitive des-
ert state. He is a booster for the
valley in San Diego, though he was
glad to see for himself verification
of what he had heard about the mar
velous progress made here.
