THE LADY OR THE KID
What Was It Mrs. Wallace Struck
Provocation or Bad Luck

W. J. Wallace, said to be mining man,
who lives at 3OS South Broadway. in the
rear of the premises occupied by Mrs
Dosch's millinery store, was arrested last
evening on a charge OF battery. Wallace
declares that he has not the slightest idea
why he was arrested as he never assaulted
anybody.
The affair Is somewhat mysterious. Mrs.
Dosch's version Of the assait however
is OF simple nature. She said that last
evening her S-year-old son, Leon refused
to obey her and she called on Wallace to
60 out in the rear Of the store and bring the
boy in. He started after Leon, when the
latter took to his heels and ram across
Third street. Wallace followed and was in
such hot pursuit that he did not see gen.
tleman on the sidewalk. As a result Wal
lace knocked him down and Officer Rich
ardson, who happened to be at hand, placed
Wallace under arrest.
Another version Of the story is that Mrs.
Dosch and young man were walking
down Third street when Wallace, who
thought he had the sole claim on the lady g
attentions, tried to induce her to leave his
rival. Mrs. Dosch refused and Wallace Is
said to have landed the mysterious strang-
er one in the eye.
Later in the evening Mrs. Dosch fur
nished 800 bail and Wallace was released

FORESTRY AND PSYCHOLOGY
Discussed at the Regular Meeting o,
the Academy of Sciences

the Academy Of Sciences
At the regular monthly meeting Of the
Academy Of Sciences last evening. In the
rooms Of the Friday Morning club. on South
Broadway, there were present about one
hundred and fifty ladies and gentlemen.
Hon. Abbot Kinney presided.
Secretary Baumgardtand President Kin
ney both spoke In emphatic terms upon the
negligent manner IN which the forests OF
this state have been cared for by those I'm
authority. Mr.. Kinney denounced the meth
cd OF the forestry commission as politi-
cal scheme to give offices to men wholly
lacking in ability to attend to their charges.
There Is no question that some Of these for
est rangers set fire to the forests and pre-
serve fires In order to prolong their jobs.
This . a very seriuos question:" conttn-
ued Mr.. Kinney. and It Is time for Southern
California to take stand for proper SUPER
vision Of the forests. Men are chosen "a
rangers who have lived In large cities for
years and scarcely ever saw the woods. "
Secretary Baumgardt suggested that the
matter be loft to the next meeting Of the
academy to devise some means for curing
the evil. 1t was decided to leave the quss-
ton to this session.
DR.. Woodward. one Of the feruKser manu-
facturers Of the city. appeared before the
academy with a proposition for the proteo-
ton Of agricultur.sts against dishonest fer
tilizer manufacturers. He proposed the en-
actemnt Of a law calling for the ap-
preparation Of about $1,000 Cor tho building Of
a laboratory at Berkeley. and the taxing Of
each manufacturer 500 year for fund.
The question has been placed before the
Merchants and Manufacturer assoctat ton
and other like organizations. and would bs
heard BY the chamber Of commerce today.
Warren e. Lloyd. Phi. D., delivered the
address Of the evening upon ''The Admis-
sion Of Psychology Into the Ranks Of the
Sciences" He said that much the
orixing had been done IN the name of
psy ohology. The science Of experimental
psychology Is not very old. 1t had its orixin
in Germany; has been followed In France.
and there are laboratories for the work IN
six. Of the leading colleges Of the United
States. The speaker. showed how the
senses, habits diseases, hallucinat.ons, etc.
were dealt with in this study, and by prac-
teal illustrations made a strong plea for
its acceptance among the standard sci.
ences Psychology has demonstrated
among other interesting things, just al
what time person holding a weight real.
ICES that weight has been added in mper.
cept.ble quantities. One scientist demon.
strated. in psychological research, that a
bird does not have to learn to fly He shut
the young bird up until 1t had passed the
fedgling stage, and upon being released II
flew away without any Of the preliminary
awkwardness popularity supposed to be at
tendant upon learning tn 9y
The address was followed by general dis.
cussion Of psychology.

A NICE, NEAT JOB
Done by Safecrackers in Michigan
Town

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Oct. 1.-THE
private bank of Jacob Denherder at Zee
land was looted by robbers early today
and the vault scraped clean Of all cur
rency except $1,000 In silver, which the
thieves rejected as too inconvenient to
carry. From noises heard by those living
near by It Is believed that the vault was
blown open and the safe wrecked at about
8 a. m. Iceland employs no night watch
man. and as the residents retire early, the
burglars had an easy task. Nothing but
paper currency and gold were taken. all
notes and securities being left. Nitro
glycerine was used in wrecking the vault,
and everything shows the neat work of
professionals. Mr. Denherder refuses to
give out the amounts stolen, but It Is be-
lieved to be between $4,000 and 5000. He
states that he will suffer no loss, as he is
insured in company which protects banks
against robbery.
The robbers have several hours start Of
the sheriff's force. The only clew Is that
dark complexioned, black mus tached man
of medium height, and wearing a slouch
hat. appeared in a iceland store last night
and bought several pairs Of hollow shoe
strings, which were used as q time fuse IN
blowing open the vault.

hAzING AT TIE U. S. c.
SOPHOMORES BRUTALLY AT
TACK A FRESHMAN
Faculty Acts Promptly-Five sophs
Suspended and Their, Public
Apology Read

The attempted hazing Of H. L. Dearlng,
q member Of the freshman class. at the
University OF Southern California has
caused more excitement among the stu
dents and faculty Of the college than any
happening since the famous hazing Of three
years ago. All day Monday and Tuesday
the one topic Of conversation was the at
tack on Dearing and the action the faculty
would take in the matter.
On last Friday night the freshman class
held reception and class party. Mr.. Dear
ing was to escort the president Of the class
to this party. Several OF the sophomores
attempted to tie him UP and prevent the
class president from attending tho gath
ering. Dearing resisted vigorously. but " as
overpowered and thrown to the ground. he
still kicked ard struggled, and wrenching
one arme free struck H. I. Pr1estlsy in the
face and kicked him. Priestley became en-
ragged and both struck Dearing in the face
and kicked him while the others held him
on the ground. The blow in tho face broke
the skin over the right eye. and one Of the
kicks caused an abrasion of the skin on the
calf Of the leg. Dearing ceased his strug-
giles and was finally released. and went to
the party escorted by several members Of
the Junior class.
His assailants then turned on c. o. Wa
terman, sophomore who had refused to
take part in the affair, and after bNndfold-
ing him and tying him up, placed some mall
odorous chemicals in his pockets and thrust
him into the house where the freshmen
were enjoying themselves. He was at once
released by the latter and allowed to 60
homo.
AS soon a 8 the matter came to the knowl-
edge of the college authorities, the cul-
prits were promptly brought to book The
matter was fully Investigated and an apol-
ogy was presented by those at fault This
apology pledged its signers to good behav-
Tor for the remainder Of the year and was
to be publicly read to the students. PRIEST
ley also apolosized to Dearing before any
action was taken by the faculty.
At session Of the faculty hold yesterday
afternoon and lasting we'll into the evening
It was decided to suspend L. g. Enyear.,
c. H. Holland Hollis Haddock and Russell
H. Crowell for three weeks; H. l. Presley
was suspended for three weeks, the addd-
tional penalty Of one week being for his
brutal attack on Dearing while held down
The men suspended are nearly all promi-
nent students and this is their first serious
offense against college discipline.
President White stated last night that as
light punishment had beer imposed as
could be inflicted and the discipline and
dignity Of the college maintained. He also
said that the suspended students took their
punishment in good part and would not
create any further trouble. These same
men had promised him but short time
ago, when the former rush was overlooked,
that they would not participate In any thing
Of the l0ind in future. In view OF their
broken promise. he and the rest Of the
faculty considered the sentence light one.
