The general sentiment is that when
the men enlisted the country needed
their services. The boys were willing
to go and take their chances against
Spanish bullets. But as the fighting
is now all over, many of them feel the
need of their services no longer exists

feel that, under the present circum-
stances, the time has come when their

RECOVERED HIS PANTS
Duret's Sad Plight and His Faithless
Swain

I'VE have gone into the dry goods
business these days." said Deputy Con-
stable Quinn to a reporter yesterday.
Cant 1 sell you a new pair of pants?'
Certainly the constable's ante-room
looked like dry goods and notion store.
1t all happened through Paul Duret.
Paul is the bellicose Individual who has
been living with one Helene Decour I'M
til few days ago, when he had dis
pute with his paramour and nearly put
an end to her existence by trying to
choke the last breath out of her body.
On Friday Helene swore to warrant
charging her assailant with battery,
which was forthwith served by Deputy
Constable Joe Mugnemi and the Offend
ing Frenchman was arrested. Yes
terday, however, while out on bail, he
learned that the fair Helene had packed
up his goods and chattels and stored
them with one Madame Blanche, who
resides in the old adobe ranch house in
the rear of the cribs on Alameda
street, and was only waiting a favor
able opportunity to ship them by rail
to friend ON the outside. The much
abused little Frenchman was in a
quandary until 1t was suggested that he
| swear to search warrant to be placed
in the constable's hands and the goods
seized until the affair had been straight
ened out. This was done and with
combined forces Deputy Constables
Thomas Quinn and Joe Mugnemi de-
scended into the enemy's camp and cap
tured the spoils of war. Among other
things are rifle, a revolver, diamond
ring and gold watch. Duret was re-
leased on the battery charge in bonds
of $25.

vestigated the case and will bring the
matter before the board of education at
its meeting tomorrow evening.

been made to him by Mr.. Long he had
investigated the matter and taken
statements from all the parties con-
cerned. AS a result he had arrived at
the conclusion that the corporal pun
ishment administered was excessively
severe. He stated that he would bring
the matter up before the school board
and leave them to take definite action
| In the matter.
| THE PRINCIPALS PLEA
reporter called upon Principal T. j.
Phillips of the Sentous street school and
found this gentleman non-c ommittal.
He stated that he did not care to say
anything until further facts became
known through the investigation, which
he anticipated would result from his
report to Superintendent Foshay. He
claimed to know nothing of the facts
except by hearsay, as he had left the
school on Wednesday at $3.50 in the after
noon and knew nothing of the castiga-
ton until the next morning, when Miss
Gardiner reported it to him, and he in
turn informed the superintendent. He
had also been complained to by Mr.
Long, father Of young Seward.
Il am opposed to corporal punishment
and have tried to stop it during the pres
ent term of school," said Mr.. Phillips
The rule says that teachers are sup
posed to govern their own room, even to
the infiictiop of corporal punishment,
and in incorrigible cases they may refer
the matter to the principal, who may
witness the castigation, but it Is all
optional on the part of teachers and
principals.
Il knew that punishment was to be
inflicted upon two boys that day, but
that was not the reason I left early. I
first heard of it in this way: Miss
Finch. who wss to discipline a boy in
her class, asked me for the strap, and.
soon after when Miss Gardiner wanted
1t, told her that it was in the custody
of Miss Finch"
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1898-01-09

necessary to resort to severe measures.
Miss Reid would not admit that the
boy was kept in the room for more than
forty minutes. When questioned as to
the number of lashes he received, she
stated that she did not think that more
than twenty five lashes were given. The
strap with which the punishment was
inflicted, she said, was the one kept at
the school for ordinary use.
MISS GARDENERS REPORT
While Miss Gardiner was not seen last
night by a reporter. she has already
made a statement to Superintendent
Foshay. 1t Is to the effect that the pun
ishment administered to Seward Long
was not excessive by reason of the un-
usual provocation. She says that the
bow has been refractory on numerous
occasions and was insubordinate to an
exasperating degree on Wednesday af-
ternoon previous to the whipping, in re-
fusing to do certain work as instructed.
Miss Gardiner thought that not more
than fifty lashes were given. She said
that the boy fought her so that it was
necessary to call in assistance to bring
him under control.
THE WITNESSES?
When corporal punishment is ad-
ministered in the public schools 1t Is
necessary to have at least one witness
present. Miss Aline Brown and Miss
Hall, both teachers in the Sentous street
school, were present in compliance with
this regulation for short time at the
whipping last Wednesday.
Miss Brown was seen last night. She
said that she and Miss Hall had only
looked into the room for a moment and
knew very little of what had taken place
there. She had seen Miss Gardiner
strike at the boy twice and he had
lodged the blows. Miss Brown would
express no opinion as to whether or not
she thought the punishment admins
tered was unduly severe.
EXCESSIVELY SEVERE
Superintendent Foshay stated that
Immediately after the complaint had
