BROTHERS HELD
ON CHARGES OF
SEELEY THEFT

Traced by means of an auto tire,
and caught as they were leaving
the second residence they had burg
larized, Sunday John Lemon and
Lazaro Lemon, brothers, were
brought into the county Jail by Fred
Henderson and Jack Kennedy, ranch
ers, of the Seeley district.
AS Kennedy was returning from
church with his family he noticed a
strange tire mark in the road, and
when he arrived at the house he
found that it had been broken into
and several things taken. Picking
up the trail with Fred Henderson,
the tire marks led them to the Hen
derson residence, and the two Lem
Oils bolted from the building.
They were held up and pinioned,
and on being searched two guns
were found on them and several ar
ticles of jewelry, not yet listed. The
Studebaker six which the men We're
using is thought by the police to
have been stolen and inquiries are
being made.
In the meantime a charge of burg
larry has been laid by the ranchers,
and the men have been granted bail
in the sum of $500 each. =

have been at practically every ex-
service home with George Highland,
who is looking after the rehabili-
tated men in this district.

"We started on this proposition
three years ago, when we enlisted
the interest of the people of the
valley and this community in par
ticular in helping US, and they have
been exceedingly good to us and
rendered us every assistance. From
the standpoint of the bureau, the
value of the aid is more than dol

"The trainees get nothing from
the government after the period of
training, and these men rely, on
the moral support of the community
in order to assist themselves to a
point where they cam become self

not be found wanting when it comes
to standing behind these men. 7"

4 PERRIS BOYS
CAUGHT HERE ON
THEFT CHARGES
Much Loot Taken From
Clothing Store Is
Uncovered

Having already noted four sus
picious looking boys early this
morning, Deputies J. s. Oswalt and
Adkins knew what to look fol-
when a message came through from
the sheriff at Perris to intercept
four Or five boys in Ford ear who
were making for this district with
q bunch of stolen property.
After a hunt this morning OF
about half an hour the officers To-
Gated the party at sos Olive street
and after interrogation took then
into custody. They were Charles
Merriner, a., Harold Smith, IA
Donald Thomas, 16, Hugh Ray, 16
All were taken to the Jail.
In the message from the sheriff
at Perris was the statement that
the lads had broken into a store. On
being searched in the Jail small ar,
ticles of clothing and. some cheap
rings were discovered on them. That
was not enough, and after quizzing
the facts were elected that the
boys had a pile of clothing hidden
the other side of Seeley land Hugh
Ray took the officers out to the To-
cation to recover the goods.
Boots, overalls, suits and clothing
of all kinds was brought back, and
Ray disclosed that the three other
boys had broken into Sloan s dry
goods store at Perris by getting
through a window, and they had
taken the things. He said he did
not take any, but admitted he was
given a ring and that he also en-
tered the store.
1t is believed that all the stolen
property has been recovered and
the boys will be held until the au-
thorities at Perris come after them.
1t was clever work on the part of
the arresting officers to have not
ed the boys before they were want
ed, as something struck them that
the boys had a furtive manner when
seen on the street.

Both were caught i'll the vicinity

with them in full working order was

nothing.l

city, destroying II quantity of mash
at the location of the still, and TAX
ing sample of the product for pro-
duction in court.
When they got Queroz in they
sprang a surprise on him, telling him
he was wanted in San Bernardino

home in that city, and he will have
that charge to answer also when the

Late last night the probation Off

Japan Halts League With Move Directed Against u S.
Worshiper Runs
Amuck, Killing
One; TW0 Hurt
BY United Press Leased Wire

EDRNDALE, Cal, Sept. 90
Breaking the silence of a Jewish
synagogue service here today, a
yolley of shots from a pistol WELD
ed by an enraged .worshiper threw
| the congregation into turmoil. One
Man was killed, another seriously
| wounded, and one woman may also
i die.
Sol Ostrow, retired Jewish mer-
chant, is held as the slayer of Harry
Denny, another Jew, the shooting
coming as the climax of a long
feud between them.
Services had just started in the
little synagogue when Ostrow en-
tered and sat down next to Denny.
The rabbi, in front of the altar, was
chanting the rites or -ne church,
when Ostrow, witnesses said, turn
ed and without warning, whipped
out u revolver and fired several
shots into Denny's body.
Benny Benasky, another worship
er, sitting near Ostrow, jumped on
Ostrow and attempted to wrest the
gun from his grasp. I'ne infuriated
man fired again, one bullet pierre
ing Benasky's thigh.
Shouting like wild man, Ostrow
darted down the aisle, firing as he
ran. Worshipers were thrown into
turmoil, and ducked beneath seats,
crying in fear.
Passerby Is Hit
One bullet glanced from the side
walk and struck Mrs. Klein, 33, in
the shoulder, as she passed by.
At the foot of the church steps,
Ostrow attempted to shoot himself.
One bullet which he fired at his
skull glanced off and did not kill
him.
Pouring from the synagogue, the
congregation sought to wreak ven
geance on Ostrow. Holding the
worshipers back with his revolver,
the man attempted to fire into the
crowd, but the weapom jammed,
preventing further bloodshed.
Patrolman n. r. Hoff, several
blocks away, ran to the scene and
saved Ostrow from probable lynch
ing at the hands of his fellow
countrymen, who had seized him
and were shouting "kill him.
Hoff was forced to draw his re-
volver to beat back the infuriated
mob.
At the Receiving hospital, Ostrow
refused to make any statement.
Other Jews said that he and Denny
had been business rivals for some
time.
Ostrow was booked on charge of
murder.

migration Dispute Be
fore the League
by United Press Leased Wire

! GENEVA, Sept. 29.-All business
of the league of nations assembly
waJ stopped today while leaders
strove to find way out of diff
culties raised by .Japan-difficulties
which imperil the protocol of arbi-
tration and security.
After two hours of discussion the
situation remained deadloeked and
the sub commission which has the
matter in hand adjourned, subject
to the call of its president, while
representatives of the leading pow
ers resumed private negotiations
with the Japanese.
The latter declared themselves
ready to talk publicly as soon as
the others chose to. A majority Of
the powers feel that the issue rails
ed by Japanese and the amendment
to the protocol shd proposes are
unacceptable, but they hesitate to
force the issue, lest the Japanese
withdraw from the league.
What the japanese wish to do is
to prevent any nation being
put beyond the power of the league
or world court when that nation
shall decide that a question raised
by another is purely domestic aft
fair.
Ambassador Adatci wants the pro-
tocol to say that the Hague court
snan declae whether the issue is
domestic or international and if the
latter, arbitrate.
This is seen by a majority of the
delegates as camouflaged attack
upon the United States and the JAP
anese exclusion clause.
GENEVA, Sept. 29-Delsgates
worked desperately today to save
the League of Nations protoeal of
arbitration and security, imperiied
by Japan insistence upon .,ring
ing the question of such problems
as the American-Japanese exclusion
act before the league.
The protocol, hailed as the great
est constructive step towards world
peace in the league S history, pro-
vides for disarmament conference,
if three of the four nations repre-
sented on the council endorse u.
Ambassador Adatci, Japan s rep
resentative, virtually has threatened
opposition to the proposal unless
the protocol s seventh article is re
vised and SO worded that dispctes
"arising from questions of purely
domestic jurisdiction may be
brought to the council.
The word immigration was not
but stripped of its verbi
age and technicalities, the Japanese
proposal means that Japan wants
TO carry its complaint against the
United States to the league.
BY so doing the japanese deny
the right of national sovereignty
over domestic affairs when another
nation is affected thereby. rs
The situation is grave because
Japan, by a negative vote, can kill
the entire disarmament, arbitration
and security project. But il is
thought the japanese may refrain
from voting when the protocol comes

NARROW ESCAPE
AS CARS MEET
Cars Driven by Morrison
and Japanese Mix on
Highway

Coming north along the road from
Calexico Sunday afternoon, George
r. Morrison of the El Centre Meat
Market, ana his assistant, Mr..
Stock met with an accident that had
all the makings of a tragedy, but
out of which Morrison and Slock
emerged with one or two contusions
only, though both were badly shaken
up.
AS they were in the vicinity of
Gebbie's corner, a japanese named
R. Nakagi, of Heber, came suddenly
from the east onto the highway, and
despite the prompt application OF
the brakes by Mr., Morrison to his
Buick car, the latter hit the other
ear in the rear, the impact turning
the :;uick over twice, and hurting
Nakagi' s machine over to the side
Of the road.
Slock was thrown clear, but Nor
rison stuck with the car, and was
hauled from beneath the wreckage.
Slock had an injury to his hip and
Morrison sustained an injured an
Ike, but both are being congratulat-
ed by their friends this morning on
escaping further injury.

worse'in the encounter, and was TAX

with ,his wife. The injured man re-
ceived treatment at the hands of
DR.. l.. G.. House. Ills head and chin
were cut, but he was able to con-
tinue on his journey. !
Both cars are total wreck, the

RumOrs of Revolution are
Spread as Man
RampageS

just as Officers Jim Applegate
and Mayo had decided that it was
destined to be nice, calm night,
their dream was rudely shattered
last evening after the angelus had
sounded.
Residents in the vicinity of Park
and Seventh sent in agitated calls
for assistance at that point, as it
appeared that an incipient revolu-
tion was in progress, and Applegate
hied himself to that quarter.
He found two men putting up
real healthy scrap, with no inter
missions, every second of time being
full of action. Jim stepped right
in and demanded the contestants
cease.
They did-for an instant, and
then one of the battlers, Clyde Phil
lips, uncovered a lovely left, which
jim took on the right ear.
What had gone before wasn't a
circumstance to what followed. 1t
was reminiscent to the days of
Philippine Pete, the Terrible Ty-
phoon, with a Kansas cyclone on the
side. Every time jim gets clipped
on the right ear it peeves him, and
sadness overcomes his pleasant ma
ture.

the original contestants, stood by
in a most envious mood, while the
noise led others to telephone in 4
police call. Mayo then turned up,
finding Applegate partially disrob-
ed through the exertions of Clyde,
who found the reinforcements too
much, but still made it irksome for
the opposition.
Into the police ear and Ito the
jail the battle continued, and then
Phillips, who had been unusually
over something, collapsed.
His condition caused the police
some anxiety, and a doctor was
called in, who testified that it was |
the effects of Intoxicating liquor,
more than anything else.
Brought before Judge X. Is.
Whitelaw this morning, Phillips
pleaded guilty to charge of drunk
enness and disturbing the peace.
