UNABLE TO FIGURE
 OUT AGE OF NEGRO
Special to The Review)

TOMBSTONE. May 9.-County au- thorities are using adding machines, comptometers and other mechanical devices in a fantic attempt to figure out the age of Earl Young, a negro brought here for trial on a petty lar cery charge from Bowie. Young said he was14 years of age. He placed the date of his birth in 1908, and said he left New Mexico when he was ten years of age.
 Judge Lockwood would like to fig ure out something from these state ments, but has decided, after try1 ing geometry, advanced arithmetic and trigonometry and they ain't no answer to sich." in the words of some rural scholar If Young is under age, he will be tried in juvenile court and if he has passed his majority he will face the superir court. But, from his statements, his age is something that should be chased with the fourth dimension, Hungarian goulash and other things that have never been correctly figured out.

High yesterday. Antonio Gallego. former soldier whom Cordero stabbed early Sunday morning, was the first witness called by the prosecution, handled by As sistant County Attorney Bruce Stew enson. Gallego told of having gone into the Presto Lunch Counter about 3:30 Sunday morning and overhear- ing Cordero make remarks about the American soldiers. Gallego said he did not do anything until he heard Ccrdero say: And he's one of them" Then, said the witness. he pulled Cordero's mustache and invited him outside. Cordero left, said Gallego, but returned a few minutes later. Gallego testified that, when he start ed to enter the lunch room again, Cordero blocked his way and, when he struck at Cordero, the latter stabbed him and tried to repeat the act but was blocked by Francisco Gonzales. who took the knife away from Cordero and later turned him over to Officer Hill Ruff.
 Gonzales told practically the same story. Key Garcia, another former ,,,o,,Ho~ oF fbo Ari1opo Ipfaptrv who was also called by the prosecution, was asked if Gallego was "in a fight ing mood" on the night of the cut ting affray He replied that Gallego as former soldier, probably was ready to fight.
 Did you also feel like fighting% he was asked.
 Fighting for what?" he counter questioned.
 Well, because you were a sol dier?"
 "Yes," replied Garcia, q have fought before and am ready to fight again because Tam a soldier"
 Other than questioning the wit nesses for the prosecution and draw ing answers from them that Gallego had started the trouble with Cordero when the latter referred to soldiers, no evidence was introduced by At torney John Wilson Ross, for the de fendant Attorney Stevenson's only argument submitted in the case was a request that the defendant be bound ever and this was immediately or dered. ,Cordero was unable to fur nish bonds and was remanded to the county jail
 Throughout his hearing Cordero sat quietly in his chair and consulted but a few times with his attorney. His only statement during the hear ing was when, questioned as to a knife submitted as evidence. he ad- mitted that it was the one he had used.

OREGON CEMENT MAKERS
FINED $4,000 LAST WEEK
Plead Guilty to Violating Anti Trust Law
Washington Cement Makers To
Get Theirs Next.

Fcrr officers Of the Cement Trust
pleaded guilty in the federal court at
Portland last week, and were sentenced
to pay fines aggregating SlO,Ooo.
The arrest and prosecution OF these
and other officers and employees OF the
Cement Trust is under the anti trust
laws. They were charged with unlaw-
fully fixing the prices Of cement and oil
apportioning territory to which each
cement company was limited, thereby
absolutely preventing competition.
The men fined last week were all con-
nected with that branch Of the Cement
Trust controlling the State Of Oregon.
The government will now proceed with
the prosecution OF trust members con-
trolling the State OF Washington, all oil
whom have been very active OF late in
trying to induce the taxpayers Of this
state to commit themselves to a big
program OF concrete road building. II
seems quite likely that by the time
the federal government gets through
with these defendants there will be 3
considerable reduction in the price o
their product.
