vanced toward the hidden men and
flashed his light upon them, saying:
I'VE are officers"

Spiller to approach quite close before
they opened fire. Spiller was hit. a
% caliber bullet passing through his
neck. Delgado said he remained in
the car during the fray that followed
Oub CpllicE lut lire

up the chase in their car, when the
men fled.
The men escaped, he said, when they
swung their car into a heavy stream
of traffic on Commerce street.
Spiller was hurried to the Robert
B. Green hospital where his wound
was described as serious. 1t is thought
he will recover.

clared Wednesday that it had been re-
Yoked for some time.

special officers commission, but said

SAN DIEGO SEES
MANY VISITORS
OVER WEEK END
New Resort Opened Amid
Much Enthusiasm
and Acclaim

san DIEGO, June 4.-San Diego
sustained its reputation as popular
place to spend holidays over the last
week end, when the largest crowd
since the close of the racing sea-
son taxed the hospitality of the city.
With the dedication of the new Mis-
sion Beach Amusement center, the
formal opening Of the other resorts
about the city and the arrival of IA
train loads of ShrincrS. en- route to
the conclave at Los Angeles, every
place OF amusement drew u large
patronage.
In honor of the occasion. the
weathermm put on his best behav-
ior and furnished plenty of the well
known 'perfect /" weather. The ho-
tells and apartment houses afforded
places for the great throngs of Wis
itors who stayed until Sunday eve
ming, when they began trekking
back to their home cities.
The new seaside resort at Mis-
sion Beach was dedicated appro-
priatclv Friday night. when 4 spe-
cial program was staged there for
the delectation of fine turnout of
residents and out of town folks.
Among those attending were many
Shrincrs who had arrived in the city
previous to the opening and these
helped make the first party 4 merry
one. Both Saturday and Sunday
there were thousands of visitors en-
tcrtaincd at Mission Beach and all
went away with feeling that they
had enioved stay at the finest re-
sort of its kind on the Pacific coast.
Coronado Tent City which held
its official opening Saturday en-
ioyod big patronage and the NUM-
ber of those who took cottages for
the first day of the season indicat-
ed that previous records were soon
to be swept away for summer popu-
lation there. Many of the tent hous-
es have been remodcled. while 9th,
ers have been enlargcd; the dance
pavilion has been redceoratcd and
peppy Jazz band dispcnses inspir-
ing music for the dancers there
every evening. Included among
those who have made reservations
for stay of indefinite length at
Tent City are large number of
Arizona residents and people from
Imperial Valley who have come here
for the summer.
With bathing, fishing, aquaplau-
ming, golf and tennis for sport, the
summer crowd is finding plenty of
entertainments, while the network of
improved roads leading into the up
lands is proving attractive to those
who would rather motor than enjoy
the more strenuous pastimes. As
a result all of the mountain resorts
are getting big patronage and look
forward to busy season.

RUBY Mine NOW.
ELECTRIFIED
IN BURMA
Yeni- choung River Harnessed
to Replace Time-oId
Methods

The famous pigeon-bIood rubies
of Burma. the finest of which, since
the time of Akbar the Great, have
come from the Mogok ruby mines,
which lie ninety miles north Of
Mandalay in the heart of the Bur-
mese Peninsula, are now mined
electrically.
Almost since the time when "the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary" naked brown workmen
have dug the soil of this mine by
hand and carried it in baskets to
the sorting sheds. Here other coolies
have carefully conabed the earth
with their nimble fingers in search
of precious Burmese rubies. Now
all this. is changed, for. near the
Mogok mines runs the Yeni-Choung
river, which has been harnessed "A
series of turbines at this hydro
electric development produces 900
horsepower of electrical energy,
which is transmitted through the
jungles to the mines. Here, with
electrification, small trucks hauled
by endless belts, carry the ruby
bearing earth to the sorting sheds.
Electric pumps keeps the mines
dry and electric motors operate
the various pieces of machinery all
the way from the biggest to the
tiny wheels upon which the rubies
are cut and polished.
Electricity is also used for light
ing not only the bungalows where
live the British managers and the
Eurasian mine staff, but also for
the powerful electric lamps which at
night guard the great stockade
where the Mogok rubies are stored
