KING BORIS HAS
A CLOSE CALL.
BY United Press Leased Wire

SOFIA. April 15,-Loyal troops

ambushed King Boris while the
Bulgar monarch was motoring to the
capital yesterday.
Two of his majestv's aides fell
dead in the vollev and the royal

badly wounded, while part of

An auto bus carrying valuable

INCREASE FOR
LOCAL JUDGES
Superior Judges Here
To Get Raise to
$4,000

Among the bills passed by tb<
assembly yesterday, and sent 70 tie
senate for action is one providing
for an incrcasa in the salary of
superior Judges in Imperial County.
This bill, introduced bx--Assem-
hlvmm Finnev. provides that super
ior judges shall be paid $1,000 n
wear. At the present time the sal
arv in this county is $4,000.
That Imperial County superior
judges have long been underpaid,
has been recognized by practically
every member of the Imperial Coun-
" bar. Due to the excessive hot
weather in the summer. it is pos
sble to hold court here apprOxim-
ately only nine months in the year,
thus making full calendars the rule
rather than the exception.
When unable to hold court here
because of climatic conditions, the
local Judges help out i'll Los Ange-
les and other counties when called
upon and the records show Judge
Cole and Judge Conkling put in
over 10 months each year o. the
bench.
Other counties where the demands
upon the judges are in no sense as
heavy as in Imperial County. pay
salaries equal to or higher than
here. Judges in Santa Clara and
san Joaquin counties are to receive.
$1,000 per year, in Humboldt. Mer-
ced, Mendocino, Placer and MADEIRA
counties, the salary is to be $4,000
from now on.
Due to the large foreign element.
and proximity to the Mexican bor
der, Imperial County is compelled
to try an unusually large number
Of criminal cases in proportion to
its population, thereby greatly in
creasing the work in the superior
court here.
