the old Hollow church, located near
what was your second ward school build
ing, this old building and an old brick
structure over beyond Clowney's shop,
and the one which stood on the site of
the nov Nj. h. Church constituted the
public school buildings of that day.
This was before the completion of the
Seminary.
Maria Bowden was my first teacher
and one of the very first lady teachers
to teach in the public schools OF " neral
Point. There were no grades in those
days She taught all the way from the
| elementary up to the higher branches of
mathematics. and from A b G to the
McGriflile's fifth reader, and for a fin
ished education the student would at
tend the school of Prof. Wilson or the
impetuous Irish school master John
Cummings. The latter one was private
school and was conducted in what later
became Reyes blacksmith shop, block
below the Jerusalem pump Many a
youngster who would not be governed by
the rules of the public school would be
transferred TO the Irishman' : school by
their parents.
John would not only teach them the
elements OF higher mathematics but
would also teach them obedience, and
If they rebelled they were as likely to
find themselves standing on their heads
as their feet. The boy that received,
and deserved, the most lickings at
school ever knew was Frank (Punk)
Pierce. He would run away one day,
get his licking the next, and the follow
ing days go through the same exper-
fence. But we boys all liked poor Punk
and considered him real hero. Poor
boy he had his leg broken twice while
coasting on the hills. recall that one
Sunday morning my father caught
Frank and his brother Wilbur up one
of his choicest apple trees, their shirt
bosoms filled with apples. Unfortunate
lads, they were marched over to their
father apples and all, and they never
forgot the price they paid for their fun.
Speaking Of the school near Clowney's
shop reminds me of day when bunch
of us little boys and girls were playing
ring the rosey and was linked
with the hand of my cousin Mary 0ater
Mrs. James Hoare) when man passing
called to another that the news had
just come that John Brown was hung.
We children knew but little about John
Brown or bleeding Kansas at that
period of our lives, but that somebody

REPORT GUN RUNNING
CBy Public Ledger service.D

Determined action to prevent the
forces Of Gov. Cantu, in Southern
California, from obtaining arms and
ammunition from the United States
with which to carry on rebel war
fare in Mexico was ordered yester-
day by the State Department. In
stances of gun-running from Cali
fOrnia have been reported to this
government by officials at Mexico
City.
Reports received recently by this
government are that but for the
Cantu uprising events are moving
swiftly in Mexico toward the return
of established and peaceful rule.
One of the latest indications has
been the departure of Gen. Pablo
Gonzales from Mexico. He crossed
the border into the United States
Thursday night and it is believed
that he was given this opportunity
to place himself in exile after his
arrest and acquittal on the charge
of fomenting a new rebellion.
An effort on the part of the
Mexican government to bring about
the absolute closure of the custom
houses on the Lower California
border has been refused by the
United States on the ground that
such a step could not be taken
without Congressional authority.

Zone Commission to Con-
slider Trade Boards Re-
quest at Meeting.

Requested notifications in the
coming regulations as asked by the
Board of Trade in resolutions pre-
sented to the zoning commission
will not be heard before the reeu-
lar hearing for that organization on
next Friday morning. the commits
sion stated yesterday.
All requests of the Board of Trade
for changes will be carefully con-
sidered, members of the commission
indicated. However, ii was pointed
out by the commission members
that requests for additional indus
trial area would not meet with IA
vor. as they believe all territory
necessary for industrial growth has
already been districted in the zon-
ing regulations.
Commission members explained
that requests for island" business
corners for various sections of the
city, in place of the present zoned
business streets, would be unfair
to property owners, the island
corners being increased in potential
land value too greatly. This prin'
ciple conflicts with the basic zon'
ing system. according to the com
mission members.
