VAN AUCKEN'S SWIFT GAIT
Resulted in His Arrest on 4 Criminal
Charge
C.. S. 1arston, His Partner, Accuses Him Of
Embezzling Two Hundred Dollars
Worth of Groceries

The grocery and provision store at 310
Temple street is in the hands of the
sheriff, and B. E. Van Aucken, one of
the proprietors, is in the county Jail with
a charge of embezzlement resting against
him. His bond is fixed at 81 900, but he
is unable to give it. Tomorrow he will
appear IN the township justice court to
answer to the charge.
G. S. Marston. Van Aucken's partner i'll
the business, is the planning witness
against him. Marston recently came to
Los Angeles from Elsinore. and with his
aged father invested $1,000 in the store.
The Van Aucken Company was formed
with Van Aucken, Marston and A. q.
Hinckley as partners.
But things did not go smoothly. And
now comes Marston to the front claiming
that Van Aucken on Thursday night last
removed $500 worth of goods from the
store to a room in the Clifton Hotel.
which is in the rear of $40 Temple street,
The purpose he had in doing this. it is
asserted, was to pay bill OF $500 he
owed to the proprietor OF the California
Hotel.
AS soon as the arrest was made Gregory
Perkins jr., the secretary of the Board OF
Trade, put an attachment on the store for

$1,000 A sheriff's keeper was placed in
charge Of the establishment.
By those who claim to know it is as
ser ed that Van Aucken has been high
roller, and the result was numerous credi-
tors who pushed him for their money.
George Blake, his attorney, denies that
he was attempting to embezzle anything
or defraud his partners. Nevertheless the
goods were found in a room in the Clifton
Hotel which he had engaged for few
nights.

Professor John Dckenson began to

earnest words heartily endorsed the ad-
dress OF Earl Barnes. He said that there
was a false impression throughout the
country regarding the attitude of the
two universities OF the state toward re-
ligion. He believed the professors in
both universities were devout religious
men. His idea Of the definition uf re-
.Iigion differed "in toto from that of Mr..
Hutchinson Regarding the Bible he
said it was not claimed to be infallible be-
fore the Reformation;and that the Prot
estants originated the idea in order to set
an infallible Bible against an infallible
Pope. He said further that there were
many facts in natural history that were
accepted every where as indispu able
truth, that were contrary to the teach
ings OF the Bible. The Bible, he declared
had an enormous influence on the his
tory of the world and he could not see
how anyone could teach properly the
great migrations, the Reformation. or
the thirty years war without teaching
the Bible.
Mr.. Richardson of San Bernardino
wished to ask the professor one question.

1t may be thaC some strong educator or
group of educators could frame course
of study more skillfully, more in accord

people through their boards OF education
could. 1t may be that the local boards

theory of our government that the work
of governing had better be done by the

they could govern us much better. The
same things hold in education.

after eight or ten others had spoken. he
wanted it understood that the majority
did not always have the right to do as it
pleased simply because it was majority.
He had noticed that this is now Repub-

dared to propose that that political party
should compel the public schools to
teach it's doctrines. AS matter OF TACT,
no creed was in the majority in the
United States. Who. would be so foolish
as to trust the average teacher of arth-
metic or geography to be the spiritual
guide of his childY The teacher comes
from anywhere and everywhere, and his
religious opinions are not known to any
body.
He who is not rascal will teach only
such religious opinions as he himself
holds. Shall he teach Atheism, if that
be his creed? If he be an infiuel and be
compelled to teach religion" he will
teach intidelity. Mr.. Hutchison could
not see what the thirty years war or any
other war had to do with the religious
lessons child should get from its
mother; nor that the child must know
the motives for the said wars or that
there had ever been any wars. Accurate
knowledge of wars was not generally con-
sidered an essential in religious training.
