Nine Boys
Caught With
Explosives
SEATTLE, Feb. 1 (At Police
arrested nine boys, ranging in
age from 12 to 10 years, yester
day and Police Capt. George
Kimball suld the youngsters had
stolen "enough explosives to
start a war" from iort Lawton
and navy vessels.
Police officers shuddered
when they learned how the boys
had tried to get powder from the
shells and cartridges by pound
ing them on a vice using files
and wrenches to open some of
the ammunition.
The boys told police they
climbed a cliff and raided a Fort
Lawton ammunition store, and
had sneaked aboard navy vessels.
The loot included mortar shells,
anti-tank rockets, hand grenades
and parachute flares, Captain
Kimball said. Army omclals said
nearly all the stolen explosives
had been accounted for but Kim
ball said several highly explo
sive fuses which could be ignited
by ordinary hand temperature or
an over-heated room were still
missing.
Officers said the missing
pieces may have been destroyed
in a fire built by the boys on the
beach.
An army snokesmun at Fort
Lawton said the explosives were
kept in a regulation army maga
zine with a padlocked door, sur
rounded by a nine-foot barbed
wire fence. A rolling patrol
looks the place over every 45
minutes, he said.
Seattle police last night Issued
a warning to all children and
parents to report immediately
any child discovered with any of
the missing ammunition.

VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 1 fH)
Here's one for the True Detec
tive thriller writers to work
over.
British Columbia police yes
terday received a revolver from
the customs department which
had been seized from a settler.
The man told G. A. Yardley, col
lector for the port of Victoria,
that his wife had been carrying
the gun for 30 years.
Taking the weapon apart pre
paratory to destroying It, police
found the following message
scratched on the inside of the
bakelite hand grips: "This is the
gun that shot Crcford at Union,
Oregon. Shuting done by . . .
Police at Union arc being con
tacted to check any record of a
shooting Involving the name Cre
ford, possibly 30 years ago.
Road South Of
Merrill Will
Be Improved
The Klamath county commis
sioners have decided to accept a '
Siskiyou county, Calif., proposal
that the Siskiyou road depart
ment repair and condition the
entrance of the Oregon road
south of Merrill into the state
line highway.
That road makes a goose-neck
turn Just at the state line high
way and County Judge U. .
Reeder has estimated that it
would cost the county about
$20,000 to build a straight con
nection to the highway, includ
ing a $6000 bridge over an irri
gation canal.
He states that the commission
ers would like to have the con
nection made but the added cost
was prohibitive at this time. The
money can be spent much more
effectively on roads elsewhere
in the county.
The Siskiyou board of super
visors have offered to do some
work on the turns, keeping fair
ly closely to the present road
bed, and to keep the entrance
oiled.
Also a California road directly
opposite coming north into the
state line highway is to be
closed, eliminating a hazard to
the much-traveled highway.
Judge Reeder pointed out that
the decision now in no way binds
the county in case it is decided
later to build the straight con
necting link.
According to the New York
State Conservation Department,
the beaver in only ten of the Em
pire State counties represents a
capital asset of $3,250,000.
