aliens We're being smuggled into Cali

tor was shot and killed in the fight
which resulted in the seizure. The
planes were seized on highway out

Two other aviators were captured

but 10 Chinese. declared to have been
carried out of Tijuana at IN. today,

to throw guard around Los An
geles Chinatown to effect their cap
ture.
The dead aviator was identified as
Arthur d. Daugherty, 80, of this city.
The Eagle Airport on the Riverside
Redondo Boulevard near Gardena, a
suburb, was the immediate locale of
the capture and gun battle.
The successful raid by the immigra-
tion officers, of whom there were four
was the result of definite discovery a
week ago that a fleet of planes was
operating in the smuggling of aliens
from Mexico. Early today they were
tipped off that planes had left Tia
Juana and although flying very high,
they were seen passing over San Diego
and reported to the officers here. The
latter lay in wait for their arrival at
the airport.
Officers Hide at Field
The immigration inspectors who ef-
feCted the CaDture are A. r.. Dick. j
A. Dielson, Howard Day and Frank
Ellis. Just before daylight B. r.
CLANCY, manager of the Eagle Air
port, was seen to arrive at the field
by the officers, who were hidden in
weeds and bushes on the edge of the
landing field. CLANCY set small flares
to guide the planes down.
About 6 o'clock the planes
were seen approaching, flying low.
Daugherty's was the first to land
and as it came to standstill the
inspectors burst on the scene, or
dering hands up. According to the
Federal agents Daugherty, whose
plane propeller was still spinning, at
tempted to "zoom" his plane into a
take-off. 1t was getting under way
when the officers opened fire.
One shot pierced Daugherty's s
chest his hand fell from the controls
and the plane halted. Clancy and
the other two pilots stood with up
raised hands.
When no aliens were found in the
planes the officers expressed the belief
they had been unloaded few miles
south of the field and ordered a search
Sheriff's deputies, as we'll as police
were called into the hunt. CLANCY
and the two aviators were taken to
the Federal Building for questioning
and Daugherty's body was turned

2 200 inmates at st. Elizabeths Hos

cal year, was given today by Monte

manager of the institution.
Funds Are Exhausted
Funds forsthe maintenance of these
patients became exhausted some time
ago. Just how the hospital purposes
to continue to feed and clothe them
has not yet been determined, accord
ing to Mr.. Sanger. Some plan will
be worked out, however, he said, to
prevent any hardships.
The Commissioners considered the
situation created by the controller
generals decision yesterday afternoon
with a view to planning emergency
relief measures without reaching any
decision. They had planned to resume
consideration of the question again
today, but were called away early this
morning to the Bureau of Efficiency.
May Issue Credit Slips.
The opinion prevails among District
officials that there is little they can
do to aid the situation and that 1t
will be a matter for the hospital to
decide. Some arrangements might be
made, it was said. to issue certificates
of credit to the merchants who supply
food to the hospital. which would
force them to wait for their money
