BELIEVED
IN NET
Border Mexican Who Killed
Los Angeles Officer Ex-
pected to Shoot 1t Out
With Posse of Officers.

LOS ANGELES, June 20--Under
the personal command of Chief of
Police Lyle Pendegast, police net of
hundreds of armed officers is believed
to be closing in upon Phillip Alguin,
suspected slayer of Detective John
Fitzgerald Saturday night.
The officers are momentarily ex-
pecting a battle with the bandit on a
little ranch property in Balvefere
township, east of the city limits, where
his parents reside.
Alguin. heavily armed and with the
threat to ''shoot it out" with any one
who attempted to capture him, was
reported to have been seen III the vi
entity of his fathers house at | o'clock
this morning. He disappeared within
a few minutes, but it is believed That
he will return to the house very short
ly to secure money which he has there
in order to enable him to make his
way out of the country.
Algun, who is a Mexican, has rela-
tives in or near Mexicali, and accord
ing to the information received by the
police will try to make his way to the
border town and escape across the line
where he would probably be safe from
pursuit.
Detective Fitzgerald of the Los An
geles police department was shot and
fatally wounded early Sunday while
participating in raid on house,
in which officers say they found n
quantity of drugs and alcohol, and III
which they had arrested seven per-
sons.
The police detective was leading La
faro Medrano, handcuffed prisoner
I from the house when the shooting oe-
CURED. AS they stepped from The
house to the porch, officers say, Ne
drano called.
I"Oh, Billy! Billy!"
! Then came the shot, fired by some-
one in the dark of the yard, and the
bullet struck Fitzgerald in the stom-
ach. He chased the man who had fired
the shot about Co feet, firing as he ran,
then collapsed.
He died a short time later in the
receiving hospital, just before his wife
carrying one child and leading another
entered the institution.

D|SCONCERTS
HIS APpONENTS

w WASHINGTON. June 2O.-Hiram
johnson has again pleased his friends
and disconnected his enemies. When
the sturdy westerner spoke in the
senate against the Colombian treaty
and vigorously defended the position
of Theodore Roosevelt, it was whis-
pered around that he was at outs with
the administration. that he was toe
independent, that his holiness would
be punished and that he would not
have say in the distribution Of Fed
eral patronage.
But when President Hardin an
nounced A. d. Lasker of Chicago as
the new head of the shipping board
and Never Lissner of Los Angeles as
the California representative or the
same board, he shocked a few bitter
johnson haters, but pleased thousands
of Johnson's friends, for Lasker ard
Llssner are two of the California sen
ator's closest adherents and both
fought hard to get him the Dresiden-
tlal nomination. Lasker is the man
who presided at the bic Johnson meet
ing st the Chicago Auditorium last
June, and UP to the close of the con.
vention, he worked in behalf of the
California senator's candidacy. Never
Llssner has been close to Johnson even
since they organized the Lincoln
Roosevelt league and has supported
him in every campaign.
The men so far selected for i'm.
portant federal offices in Californis
are all loval Johnsonites.

RICHARD PICKS
THREE TOP ONES
TO JUDGE FIGHT
TUO Former Cham Mons ard
RritGins Greatest Sportsman
Proposed for WOrid Heavy
Ueight Battle.

Tex Richard, promoter of the
Dempsey-Carpentier title match at
Jersey City July 2. plans to name a
winner in the battle in spite of the
fact that the New Jersey law prohibits
"a referees decision.
Ellis plan is simple. He will pick
three judges, who in case both bat
tiers are on their feet at the end of
the II rounds, will decide who had the
best of the argument. Richard ex-
poets Dempsey and Carpenter to
agree to the idea and SAYS wagers
on the fight can be paid according to
tie decision handed down.
lie has already practically decided
on his trio of judges:
Jim Corbett, former heavyweight
champion Of the world.
Jim Jeffries, also former heavy
weight champ.
Lord Lonsdale, foremost follower of
boxing in England.
k.ckard feels that Jersey Officials
cannot object to this plan. He feels
certain that some decision will be
necessary to settle wagers. The con-
test IS, first of all, sporting propo-
sltlon, and as such is likely to be the
biggest betting occasion in the histol Y
OF the roped arena.
Lord Lonsdale has been invited to
come from England to the bout as
richards guest, and so has Jeffr.es
Corbett, has accepted a similar irvi-
tation
An interesting sidelight to this plar
Is the fact that two of the judges wno
may sit outside the ring, have met on
two occasions on the inside of the
ropes.
On May IL, 1910, Jim Jeffr:es
fought Corbett at Coney Island and
knocked, him out in the 23rd round
They fought again on August Ia, 1903
at San francisco, and Jeffries repeat
ed the k. 0. in the 10th round.
Corbett became heavyweight chalar
when he defeated John l.. Sullivan al
New Orleans Sept Z, 1892, in the 21st
round. The title passed on when Bol
Fitzsimmons licked Corbett March II
1897, at Carson City, New, in the 1AtT
round.
Jeffries took the crown from Fitz
simmons in 1899 by licking HIM in i
rounds at Conev Island. In 1906 he re
tired, after having twice trimmed Cor
bett. In 1910 he attempted comebacl
| and lost his title to Jack johnson Jul,
4th at Reno, New, in Is rounds.
