DESTROY RANCHES
OF MEN REFUSING
TO JOIN GROWERS

FRESNO, May Time and trees
were uprooted last night in ranches
in widely separated sections of
Fresno county by persons who had
refused to join the Sun Maid Raisin
Growers Association, according to
reports that reached the sheriff s
office here today.
A band of more than 100 men
went to the R. s. Bibb place near
Malaga, destroyed two acres of
vines, tore down fences, took apart
an automobile, smashed the hog
pen, loosed the horses and cows and
did other damage, according to re-
ports by Bibb to the officers.
Near Sanger, about 10 acres of
vines belonging to Peter Miller
were destroyed, limbs were broken
from peach trees and other havoc
wrought, it was said, in reports to
the sheriff's office, which were
suhstantiated by later investiga-
tions.
Peter Miller and Bibb both had
declined the earnest entreaties of
their neighbors to join the raisin
association.

Bodies
GOV. LUGO LAUDED
Edict Shows Eagerness
to Cooperate
With u. S.
By United Press Leased Wire

j. T. Coyle, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, has received
n letter from Governor Tnocente
Lugo, of the Northern District Of
Lower California, advising that in
structions have been received from
Mexico City to close the interna-
tional line to minors after 6 o clock,
unless accompanied by their par
ents. The new rule. will be en-
forced at Tia Juana and Mexicali
and goes into effect Immediately.
This action of the Mexican an-
thorities follows movement in
stituted by the Women s Improve
ment Club of Calexico, to have the
line closed to. minors, the movement
being endorsed by other women :
clubs and commercial bodies
throughout the valley.
These resolutions were presented
to Governor Lugo, who advised
tha tthe matter would be taken
with the authorities in Mexico
City, with the recommendation that
action be taken as outlined in the
resolutions.
Evidence Of Cooperation
The information contained in
the, governor s letter to Secretary
Coyle is another evidence of the
desire on the part of the Mexican
officials, to cooperate with the
Americans in any movement that
has for its object, the welfare and
improvement of the people of tho
Imperial Valley.
Numerous complaints had been
made tha tboys and girls of high
school age were making practice
of crossing the border, into Mexi-
cali, and it was with the idea of
guarding them that the movement
was started by the club women to
have the border closed after six.

SACRAMENTO, May 5.-Poliey
of State Treasurer Charles G. John
son in holding non-interest bearing
bank exchange drafts in the state
treasury for periods from one to
three months, has resulted in the

Bank exchange money ON which
the state received no interest aver
aged more than $1l,000,000 per
month during the first three months
of Johnson's period in office, the
board of control figures revealed,
Profit to banks holding the ex'
change amounted to 100000 for the
period, it was reported.
The board of control protest was

state funds should one of the eight
Sacramento, San Francisco and Los
Angeles banks involved fail, Dan
iels declared.

Uy United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, May ). = In
charge of Under Sheriff Eugene
Bfscailuz, the expedition bound on
the ''Tigress hunt" for Tegucigal-
pa, Honduras, sails tonight from
San Pedro on the liner Venezuela.
The party, howeve~, is not at all
sure that will find Clara Phillips

tral American village where a wom-
an supposed to be she is now in Gus
tOdy.
Clara's husband, Armour Phillips,
made a last minute appeal to be al
lowed to go with the party, but this
was summarily rejected by Under
Sheriff Biscailuz. Phillips has been
ordered to stay near Los Angeles
and report to the sheriff's office
daily, and should he fail to do so
action will be taken, said Biscailuz.
Biscailuz says that the necessary
extradition papers will have reached
Tegucfgalpa from Washington by
the time he arrives. He expects to
return with his prisoner about June
10.
She will be taken directly to San
Francisco and clapped into San
Quenton penitentiary without the
usual preliminary of being confined
in the county jail, from which she
originally escaped.

EARTHQUAKE AND
TIDAL WAVE BRING
WIDESPREAD RUIN:
Chilean Shake Which
/ Topples Buildings
Felt in L. S.

SANTIAGO, Chile, May o A
strong earthquake shock shook the
state of Atacama in northern cen
tral Chile, topping buildings from
their foundations and causing great
damage.
A tiday wave which followed
swept over Inc city of Carrizalillo
inundating large area. The popu-
lation fled in panic from the place
and sought refuge in nearby hills.
Homes were destroyed and many be-
lieved to have been caught in the
sudden thrush of the sea waters.
At Vallenar, Il coast village, the
chief buildings of the town were
shaken on their foundations and in
partial ruins. Dispatches say there
was great damage there, especially
to irrigation bitches. No estimates
were made as to the loss of life.
The quake began at $40 pm. last
night, it was said.
Fear Loss of Life
Only these two towns were heard
from in the area stricken by the
quake and giant wave. 4 careful
check up of the other sections is be-
ing made by authorities to deter
mine the full ~extent of disorder.
Serious damage and perhaps loss of
life in other communities is feared.
The Andes mountains dip into
the ocean in the state of Atacama
which is Il little more than 300
miles north of Valparaiso. The re-
gion is settled as thickly rs the
normal Chilean states.
News of the quake caused special
interest here because of the recent
Chilean earthquake disaster in
which 1900 were killed and
drowned.
Seismographs in the United
States recorded an earth tremor,
moderately severe yesterday
noon. It reached its greatest inten-
sity, according to the Georgetown
University record in Washington be
tween 1855 a. m. and 1904 p. III.
This would correspond with the time
of the Ataeama quake.

2 WOMEN NABBED
ON DOPE CHARGE
HELD IN JAIL
Accused of Peddling
Narcotic Among Mex
leans in Heber

Two women giving the names of
Mary Lemon and Nellie Lama are
held at the county Jail in default
of $4,000 bail, following a hearing
before United States Commissioner
r. b. Whitelaw this morning, on a
charge of violating the Harrison
narcotic act. The women were ar
rested at Heber last night by gov
ernment officials, who confiscated a
quantity of narcotics. Several
packages of cigarettes, loaded with
marijuana, a drug used by Mexi-
cans, were also taken by the Off
GERS.
The women, VINO are rather pre-
possessing in appearance, have been
suspected of peddling "dope' in
the vicinity of Heber for some time,
most of their trade coming from
Mexicans though they also number
ed whites among their patrons.
Ham Singh, q hindu rancher,
with whom the women are said to
have been living, attempted to visit
them at the jail this morning and
made himself so obnoxious to the
jail officials that Sheriff Gillett
ordered him locked up and held for
investigation. The Hindu was un-
able to show any papers permitting
him to be in this country and claim
ed they were in San Francisco. He
will be given an opportunity to pro-
them, and if unable to do so, steps
will be taken to have him deported.
Jail officials stated this morning
that Singh has been a constant
source of annoyance for several
months past and is continually in
trouble.
