ON PRIVATE BUSINESS
MAYOR sNYDER'S VISIT TO SAN
FRANCISCO
Baseless Rumor in an Evening Sheet
President Silver Requested to
Act in His Stead

Sunday night last Mayor Snyder received
!. telegram calling him urgently and I'm
mediately to San Francisco on important
private business. He took the northbound
train within the hour and is still in the me-
tropolis.
Since his departure several wild attempts
at guessing the business which called him
away have been made by an evening sheet,
which. falling to hit. the mark. last night
made the assertion that "by his sudden
and very mysterious absence from the city
Mayor Snyder has taken chances of having
his Office officially declared vacant" This
can be done, no doubt, the charter ex-
pressly providing that whenever any elec-
tive officer absents himself for a period
longer than five days without first having
obtained the permission of the council, his
office can be declared vacant"
There IS. however, no immediate proba-
bility that the mayor will be removed or
that anything looking in that direction Is
contemplated except in the imagination OF
the sensational sheet. Having left hur-
riedly and without time in which to make
arrangements, the mayor yesterday sent
a message from San Francisco to President
Silver requesting that he assume the duties
of mayor until his return, which Mr.. Silver
will do.
In telephone conversation last night.
Mayor Snyder disclaimed entirely any
other reason for his visit than private bus
mess and stated that he should probably
start for Los Angeles either Saturday
night or Sunday morning. He will take an
active part in the reception to the boys of
the Seventh regiment to be given by the
Los Angeles contingent in San Francisco
Saturday.

Aschner Held to Answer

Norris Aschner and Gertrude Merli were
held to answer to charges of forgery by
Justice Owens yesterday. In spite of the
fact that the missing Edna Cohn, whose
name the pair were alleged to have forged
to a certificate of deposit Of $50 on the
Farmers and Merchants bank and then
passed on Jevne, the grocer, had not been
found by the prosecution, the examination
was taken up. Three employees of Jevne's
store testified to the transaction and De-
tectives Auble and Hawley told Of the cir
cumstances of the arrest and securing of
evidence. Ruth Ballinger, the proprietress
of the octoroon joint where the missing
Edna is supposed to have lived, testified for
the defendants. She claimed that there
had never been such a woman as Edna
Cohn at her place. Aschner's bail was
fixed at $4,000 and the Merli woman at 500
cash.

MsNs
fraudulent LIQUORS

The newspapers of this city recently gave
the names Of several prominent liquor
dealers here who are being sued for heavy
damages IN the United States circuit court
for handling bogus Hennessey brandy. An
gostura bitters and other imitation goods.
In the same article attention was called
to the fact that several other dealers in
this city were implicated in the sale of
fraudulent liquors and that heavy dam
age suits against them would shortly be
instituted. AS no names were mentioned,
1t has been thought that this somewhat
indefinite accusation might work injury to
innocent parties. and for this reason the
representatives of the plaintiffs in this
action desire 1t to be announced that the
genuine Hennessey brandy and Angostura
bitters are carried in large quantities by
H. ]. Woollacott and can always be pro-
cured at his establishment at 124-126 North
Spring street, this city.

PARENTS AND TEACHERS
Paper by Mrs English on "Health
and Hygiene"

The new idea In education Is making
beginning at practical application in Los
Angeles. This movement aims at bringing
teachers and parents together for mutual
conference and discussion on the physical
and mental well being of children. By
personal acquaintance and a more thor
otEh understanding between parents and
instructors concerning traits of character,
mental development and physical tenden-
cies or peculiarities, the interests Of the
Individual child can be better subserved
and many errors avoided. This movement
has been in progress several years in the
large cities Of the middle west and Is grad
ually travelling eastward.
Prof. Van Lew of the normal school, Is
deeply interested in the idea and has be-
gun a series Of such meetings in the audi
torium Of that institution, the second Of
which was held yesterday afternoon. Mrs
M. A. English, professor Of chemistry and
physiology, read a comprehensive and able
paper on physiology and Hygiene Of the
Child in Home and School," The subject
was treated under four divisions-periodic-
ity of growth. symptoms and effects of IA
t.gue, nutrition applied to children and
developmental exercises. The periods of
growth were given in each sex by the
speaker, girls becoming fatigued by school
work most easily at 8, boys at 13 years of
age. This is due to the impetuosity and
activity Of the latter.
The physical signs of fatigue are largely
facial. the brain rejecting itself on the
nerves of the face: the feeble, nerveless
hand; fingers twitching; fullness under the
eyes, pallid complexion, mouth partially
open, voice slow and the fidgets. The work.
ing power Of the child is due to physical
structure and there is such thing as be-
ing born tired. Each child has a mental
as we'll as physical force. Valuable hints
were given on food for children and the
elements they contain. The old adage
that bread is the staff Of life has done much
mischief. for bread is really starvation.
The proper foods for children's school
luncheons were given. The keynote of
school life should be health, for the body
acts on the mind and the mind on the body
The next meeting will be held Thursday.
May II. at the same place. when the SUBJ
ject of health will be continued.

Pasadena have been completed in the city

it and 1t was allowed to drop out of sight.
Major W. C. Furrey yesterday filed Pc
tition to the council, asking that he be al
