At the Highlands asylum, as well as at
the county hospital cases have quite
frequently appeared when suspicion
amounting almost to certainty--was
aroused that the patients had been for
warded from the east that they might
have all the advantages arising from
change of scene and climate while receiv-
ing treatment at the expense of the
county or the state. The New York State
Lunacy commission has inaugurated
plan worthy of imitation, by which
certain class of nonresident patients
are returned to their own states. At the
present time there are at Highlands a
number of incurable patients who may
live for years. They were insane when
they came to the state, and were admit
ted as patients within few days or
weeks after their arrival. The average
life of the insane Is twenty-one years,
and the cost for supporting one patient
during that time would be $2940-the
minimum figure-and this tax is placed
where it does not belong and upon the
state upon which the patient can have
no claim save that Of comon humanity.

other hand it Is most prevalent among
the most cultivated and intellectual ma
tions of the globe, and is becoming ar
important question in sociology and
economics.
While the Los Angeles death rate may
be pronounced normal and not above the
average of other cities of like size, it
is really misleading. AS shown by DR.
L. M. Powers, health officer of the city
in his annual report, invalids flock to
Southern California, and when death in
tervenes in such cases the average death
rate is unduly increased. Thus, during
the year, 355 deaths, or 24.40 per cent OF
the whole, resulted from tuberculosis
and of these 81 from tuberculosis OF
other parts Of the body than the lungs
OF the 29S deaths reported as having
been caused by Consumption" and
"phthisis." lis had resided in the city
less than one year, and of the 81 re-
naming 25 had also resided in the city
for less than one year. 1t is apparent
that at least 140 deaths ought not to be
credited to this city, and how many
of the remainder it is impossible to say
Only when such facts as these are con-
sidered is the healthy and delightful
climate Of the city and county appre-
ciated.
THE INSANE COMMITMENTS
Under the new lunacy law, passed by
the last legislature, there has been COM
paratively little change in the commit
ment of insane persons to the asylum al
Highland. During the last fiscal yeal
there were committed from Los An
geles county 1853 patients. as compared
with 156 during the year previous. This
very startling increase is more than the
increase in population would warrant
and an explanation can only be found
in the fact that of all the patients ad-
mitted to the asylum in 1896 no less
than 1913 per cent were known to be
non-residents of the state, and it is but
fair to presume that a fair proportion
of the 9.76 per cent entered in this re-
gard as "unascertained'' might also be
included in this classification.
The following are the number of COM
mitments from the seven counties OF
Southern California since 1894:

THE CRIMINAL RECORD
The Investigations Of penologists and
sociologists throughout the country
show clearly that crime is developing
in excess of the growth of population.
In all the large centers of population
the same unpleasant state of things
is found to exist. and it is not, there
fore, very strange that Los Angeles
forms no exception to the general rule.
1t is in the more serious crimes that
the increase is most notable, and these
are committed by a class Of which the
illiterates form a small proportion.

THEY DID THEIR DUTY
TEACHERS ACCUSED OF BATTERY
FOUND NOT GUILTY
Justice Morrison Establishes Prece-
dent of Interest to Teachers,
Parents and Pupils

Teachers in the public schools have
the right under the law to discipline
their pupils and may administer corpor-
al punishment. When it is necessary,
it is the duty of the teacher to admin
lister Correction" That is what Judge
Morrison has held in the case of the
two teachers at the Sentous-street school
who were before him last Saturday on a
charge of battery. The decision was
not in just the language here used, but
that is just what the decision means to
every school teacher in the city. 1t is
a warning to unruly boys that they may
expect to be punished, and that the
teacher in Furnishing them will be pro-
tected in so doing by the courts.
The case in which Misses Gardner and
Reed were defendants was submitted to
the court last Saturday. At that time
Deputy District Attorney Williams was
given five days in which to submit briefs,
the understanding being that the de-
fense was to have the same time if 1t
wanted it. The time for the filing of the
briefs expired Thursday and none had
been filed. Yesterday afternoon, after
disposing of his regular docket and
after everybody but his clerk had left
the court room, Justice Morrison told
that official to enter a verdict of not
guilty in the cases of battery against
Misses Gardner and Reed as he did not
believe they had used any more force
than was necessary in chastising the
prosecuting witness.
1t will be remembered that early in
January the two teachers We're arrested
at the instance of ex-Polce Commission
er Long on charge of battery, because
they had chastised his son, Seward. The
charge of battery was based on the allie
cation that the teachers had been brutal
in their punishment and had injured
the boy severely. This was not proved.
however, and the judgment of not guilty
was entered, as stated.

COMMENTATORS RESOLUTIONS
Passed by Veterans of the Home Re
garding Governor Smith

The following self-explanatory resolu-
tions were adopted at a meeting OF
Uncle Sam post, G.. A. R., at the Sol
diers' Home last night, and furnish a
refutation of the stories lately bruited
about regarding the management of the
home:
ment of California and Nevada. Soldiers
Home, Los Angeles County, California,
February II, 1898.
AT regular meeting of Uncle Sam post,
No. III, Department of California and Ne
vada, G. A. r., on the 10th day of Febru-
ary, 1898, the following preamble and reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas. The Los Angeles Daily Record
has recently published series of articles
assailing the official character of a men,
Der of our order, namely, Comrade An
drew j. Smith, governor of the Pacific
branch, National Soldiers home, charging
him with being a tyrant and mstreating
the veteran soldiers committed to his care:
therefore be it
Resolved, That this post, from it's own
knowledge, deliberately pronounces these
charges false and without the slightest
foundation in fact.
Resolved, That Comrade Smiths every
act proves him to be wise and just gov
ernor. and the true friend of every we'll
behaved member of this home, and that so
far from having played the tyrant his
government has been, from the beginning,
eminently liberal and humane.
Resolved, That in the short space of six
months since Comrade Smith assumed
command of this home, its general condi-
ton has been improved at least fifty per
cent. We therefore heartily endorse his
administration, and pledge to him our
loyal support.
Resolved, That the post adjutant be in
structed to send copies of these resolutions
| to the Los Angeles Daily Times and Herald
for publication.

brought SIS with which to pay for his
fun. The amount assessed by the court
staggered him, and he Immediately asked
time in which to get the other SIS. He
was given until noon today to raise the
money. He did not complain, as h
knew he had had a narrow escape from
much more severe punishment.
Harry Meath, who was arrested at the
same time as Brown, and whose case
had been taken under advisement by
the court, was declared not guilty of
the charge and was dismissed. The
court was of the opinion that Brown
was to blame for the presence at the
engine house of the Meath brothers, he
having suggested that they go there,
and, after reaching the place, it was
Brown who knocked at the door. The
other charges which the members of the
company intended to prefer against the
two men will not be pushed at present,
unless there are more such actions on
their part. Since the arrest of Brown
there have been no false alarms of lire.

About a Popcorn Machine

The suit of Mary o. Paulding against
Reyburn & Co., appealed from the city
justice court by defendants was tried
yesterday by Judge Clark and taken under
advisement- Charles W. Reyburn, one of
the partners of the firm, manipulated a
sale to Miss Paulding of a patent popcorn
machine on October ?, 1897. together with
the formula to make it and the exclusive
right to use the machine and formula at
San Jose, for the sum of $3.50. He told
the plaintiff that his firm was agent of w
y. Long, proprietor of the patent Miss
Pauiding discovered later that Reyburn &
Co. were not the agents of Long and had
no right to dispose of the exclusive priv
ilege of working off popcorn on the peo-
pie of San Jose according to the Long
method. and she recovered judgment for
her money and costs in Justice Owens
court.

on Sunday He is the barkeeper at the
Van Nuys hotel, and was arrested about
two weeks ago, along with several other
saloon men, when the police first began
the present crusade to secure Sunday
closing of the saloons. After the case
had been continued several times, Wig
gins grew tired of coming to court Sc
often, and, knowing that there was suffi-
cient evidence to convict him, he en-
tered plea of guilty. He declared he
had sold but the one drink which led to
his arrest. The cases against the score
or more of other saloon men which are
on the docket of the court will come up
from time to time during the next month,
some of them having been set for the
