DESTITUTE TOURISTS
Associated Charities Detect a Family
Where Work Is Abhorred

There is undoubtedly great deal of
destitution in the city at this time of
year, but it should not be taken for
granted by the chartably inclined that
every case of want Is genuine or deserv-
ing. Several days ago letter was re-
ceived at The Herald office purporting
to have been written by the landlady of
a family consisting of husband, wife and
three children who occupied a small shed
or house at the rear of her premises on
Sacramento street near Mateo. She de-
picted the helplessness of these people,
the father being unable to secure work
and the whole family in dire want. The
letter went on to say that for lack of a
stove they made a fire in a coal oil can
and she was afraid that the shed might
take fire and be consumed, and as she
was uninsured and poor herself, she
dreaded such an outcome. 1t may be
added that the signature to the scrawl
was nlegible, and to all intents and pur-
poses the message was anonymous.
The communication was turned over
to the Associated Charities. which is
quite able to cope with genuine cases
as we'll as with impostors, for investiga-
tion. The lady inspector who visited the
alleged destitute family did not find it
living in opulence by any means, but
recognized in it family that had been
sent from here to Chicago by it's means
once before and who had returned since.
These people We're described as regular
tourists by the agent of the Associated
Charities, who travel from city to city
and from east to west in search of aid
and living without work.
The society will probably do nothing
for such rank impostors, who probably
don't mind that, as they have always at
command stories that VIII move the I'M
initiated to the wiles of the tricky to dis
pense charity. The fact that they did
not appeal to the Associated Charities
is proof in itself that they feared to be
exposed, being so we'll known already to
it's officers

WOMEN AND SOCIALISM
Her Relations to Present Economic
Problems

At the request of a number of ladies
who are unable to get out in the evening,
Rev. Mr.. Bliss consented to deliver an
address yesterday afternoon at Guild
hall on the Relation of Women to the
Social Question: Mrs. Caroline w.
Severance presided as chairman of the
meeting and introduced the speaker. Mr..
Bliss spoke of women's coming more and
more into the heart of the labor move
ment. Startling statistics were given on
the increase of women and decrease of
men as wage earners as taken from the
last census reports, and the low wages
which women are paid.
Between the years of 1880 and 1890 men
increased in only three occupations
laundrymen, cooks and nurses-while
women had increased in all but three.
This has a dark side and a bright one.
Women who know only how to spend
money do not know how it is made,
often out of the grinding toll of the poor
woman who works in the sweat shops.
When she is a wage Garner she learns
what it means to compete, what it means
to take work from another. what it
means to lose her own position. She is
coming to have deeper experience. The
bad side is that the wages of women and
children do not swell the family income,
that 1t lowers wages, that an increasing
number of wives are deserted marriages
are decreasing and the birth rate low
| cred
l. Eventually the solution of the vexed
problems of home and marriage lie in
economic questions. Women under CO.
operative government will ultimately
earn their proportionate share of the
product. Woman's economic liberty is
more important than her political lib
erty, but her influence in legislation is
needed to change existing economic con-
ditions.
At the close of the lecture Mr.. Bliss
stated that a meeting will be held this
evening to consider the organization OF
Union Reform league composed of men
and women. A committee of three la
dies was appointed to act for those pres
ent at last meeting.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
"A Number of Important Recommen-
dations to the Council

The street railway tracks that for
years have lain on Los Angeles street,
most of the time abandoned. will be torn
up by order of the city council upon rec
ommendation of the board of public
works. The tracks were laid under the
old Pico street franchise and were used
until all the other lines in the city We're
converted into electric institutions. This
Improvement was not made by the Los
Angeles street line and finally the road
was entirely abandoned. The tracks
will be taken up upon the solicitation of
property owners between Second and
Third streets, who have complained Of
them as nuisance.
The board of public works transacted
considerable business yesterday, most
of which was of a routine nature.
The petition of H. c. Pierce and other
property owners for the grading, sewer
ing, curbing and sidewalking with ce-
ment First street between Boyleston
and Tolucca, was referred to the city
engineer to prepare an ordinance of in
tention.
The board recommended, in the matter
of proposals to improve Railroad street
between Redondo and Main, that the
bid of Charles Stansbury be accepted.
The figures are 65 cents per lineal foot
for grading and gravelng and 10 cents
per lineal foot for curbing.
The petition of L. L. Carr, asking
that Fremont avenue, between First
street and the second street north of
First, be graded and graveled and
curbed and sidewalked with cement, was
referred to the city engineer with in
structions to draw up an ordinance of
intention.
Mrs. M. E. McMahon and others re-
quested that a cement curb and side
walk, six feet in width, be constructed
ON both sides of Banning street, between
Alameda and Center. Referred to the
city engineer.
Permission to do certain street work
by private contract with the property
owners was asked by A. Kinney and
others. The proposition is to grade
Cimarron and Arlington streets between
Adams and Washington, with the nat
ural soil; also to construct cement curbs
and sidewalks. Much doubt was enter
tained by members of the board as to
whether the natural soil is suitable for
the grading work, and after some dis
cussion it was decided to recommend
that the matter be referred to the street
superintendent for investigation.
The city engineer was instructed to in
Vestigate as to whether or not the nui-
sance of standing water at the junction
of Spring and Main streets cannot be
abated at the time Of the resurfacing of
the streets mentioned, and that he in
vestigate also as to the matter of cutting
off the point of the sidewalk at the
junction.

ter, noch einmal!" This was unfortu-
nate. The money had to be paid before
banking hours and then he was $15
short! He asked Mrs. Stoll to show him
his checks. She did so. After looking
them over he insinuated that IL she
would lend him the SIS that he needed
he would again make her the custodian
of his papers until they could go to the
bank together next day and collect the
several amounts.
Mrs. Stoll pondered over the matter
moment, then handed him fifteen silver
dollars and gave him a chamois purse
to put them in. That night Schlitz was
in bawdy house, where he made the
buckskin sack and it's contents rattle
before the eyes of the dazzled nymphs
while he sang joyfully: "Peeholt, pee
holt it is all colt"
After he had swindled the landlady
out of the SIS he asked her for an en-
velope, upon which he wrote in Ger
man characters, Mrs. Herminie Stoll,"
and then deliberately fiimflammed her
before her eyes, making the checks dis
appear into his sleeve while he stuck a
folded piece of yellow paper in the en-
velope and sealed it. Before going out
once more into the street he sneaked
into his room and removed his valise,
unknown to Mrs. Stoll, and departed.
The next day when his room was en-
tered it was found that the bed had not
been slept in and that his satchel was
gone. Then the landlady hurriedly tore
open the envelope and discovered the
other deception of the man of many
aliases.
They met no more until yesterday af-
ternoon. Their next meeting will be ir
the police court when she has him tried
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses.
More cases are likely to crop out from
day to day against Schlitz, who has left
trail of sorrowing landladies in every
large and mediums sized city of the
Union.

GOOD ROAD MATERIAL
Councilmen Pleased With Decom-

Several members of the city council
and other city officers inspected the
grading and graveling on Sunset boule-

day afternoon. The trip was made
upon invitation of L. p. Clark, manager
of the Pasadena and Los Angeles rail-
way, the party going in special car.
The material used is decomposed gran

to the contractors, and is taken from
their pit near Santa Monica. The coun-
cilmen expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the condition of the road
bed, as we'll as the material used. 1t is

Saws a Flagman Is Unnecessary

In response to an order of the council
that the Pasadena and Los Angeles

monstrance with the city clerk yester
day afternoon. The president explains
that in all cases the cars come to full
stop and the conductor goes to the cross
ing and gives the necessary signal before
the track is crossed. This, he contends,
is just as safe method as the employ
ment of a f1agman and is much more
economical for the company.

TEACHERS PAY
Probably No Salaries for
Holiday Week
THE CITY ATTORNEYS OPINION

THE CITY ATTORNEYS OPINION
Extensive Sewer Work Recommended
by the Sewer Committee-A
Kick to the Council

The question whether or not the pub
lie school teachers of this city should be
paid their salaries for holiday week,
when all the schools were closed, has
been Investigated by City Attorney
Dunn, and his decision appears in an
opinion submitted to the board of edu-
cation last night. The matter was raised
during the week and the board seemed to
be divided as to whether or not the
teachers were entitled to pay for the
vacation week. The opinion OF the city
attorney is as follows:
s'To the Honorable Board Of Education:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to your request
for my opinion as to whether you can pa!
teachers salaries for holiday week out OF
the city funds, l am of the opinion:
"First-That school money can only be
used for the purposes expressed IN secuoh
n of the charter of the city of Los Angeles
and the first subdivision of that section is
the source from which your authority 10
make the class of expenditures under con-
sideration comes This subdivision reads
as follows For the payment OF the sal
aries or wages of the superintendent
deputy superintendent, clerk. teachers,
janitors school census marshals, and other
persons VINO MAY De tliiploScu ~ S"iN
board
"Second-Section "A of the same charter
provides that you must fix a schedule OF
salaries for teachers before the SOth day
of June of each year, to take effect and
be In force for the year next ensuing from
July 1st and teachers are employed under
and subject to this schedule of salaries.
'If, therefore, at the time of fixing sal
aries and employing teachers you con-
tracted to pay salaries for the full time
of the school year, including vacations,
you have the power and should carry out
your contract. II. on the other hand, your
schedule of salaries and contract did not
contemplate paying salaries during vaca-
tion, you have no power to increase the
compensation of the teachers during the
year by making such payment"
Mr.. Dunn expressed the opinion last
evening that none of the teachers would
be paid for the holiday week, as he un-
derstood no contract to do so had been
entered into between them and the board
of education to that effect.
