GOOD HARD WORK
IN CELEBRATION
Overalled Boy Students
Toll in Memory Of
James Lick.

Founders day was celebrated by the
California School of Mechanical Arts yes
terday in memory of James Lick. the
philanthropist who endowed the school
In the celebration the directors of the
school, headed by c.. A. Murdock, in the
absence of Horace Davis, the faculty,
headed by Principal Merrill. and the en-
tire student body took part.
The demonstration took on the intensely
practical shape that would undoubtedly
be approved by James Lick If he were
still In the flesh. "If James Lick were
here" said Principal Merrill land could
be consulted how to celebrate this day
he would probably say, Work twice as
hard as usual This idea furnished the
key to the celebration as it actually took
place.
The boys and girls went to their work
at the usual time in the morning, the
boys In the foundry, machine shop and
carpentering department while the girls
were cooking, dressmaking and working
as milliners. The directors went to the
school and made their annual inspection,
going. through every department
Then, at the sound of the steam whistle
on one OF the shops, the boys and girls
came trooping into the appointed place
and attended the formal exercises which
We're very brief. The principal feature
of these exercises was an address by the
Rev. Bradford Leavitt. pastor Of the First
Unitarian Church of this city.
Mr.. Leavitts theme was success" On
this he talked very entertainingly and
very earnestly to the boys and girls. He
hrst made historical review of ideals
or success. Then he viewed success from
a geographical point of view, incidentally
referring in his review of various lands
to New York's 400 and their ideals.
Then he came close home.
Fhe, essentials Of success, as viewed by
Mr.. Leavitt, are found in sound body
sound mind and sound morals. A sem
sible education was found to be very es-
sential to success The merely ''goody-
goody" boy or girl did not appeal very
strongly to the speaker, but he demand
ed that boys and girls shall be able to
do good. to be good for something.
With sound body, a sound mind and
sound morals, success was reasonably in
view, when supplemented by~education OF
the right sort. Enjoyment of life might
also be expected upon such bases
The boys and girls in their working
clothes. the boys in overalls, listened at
tentfvely and absorbed some of the ad-
dress. In the afternoon visitors came in.
They saw hot iron poured in the foundry
and the other mechanical departments
were running in their every day fashion,
illustrative of what the boys and girls
are learning in addition to book lore.

CAME NEAR DYING
From an Awful Skin EIumoR.

:. Hhen mH little hor uas ahnnt thre

When my little boy was about three
months old his head broke out with q
rash, which was very itchy and ran con.
siderable watery fluid. We tried every.
thing We could, but he got worse sll
the time till it spread to his arms, legs,
and then to his entire BODY, and he got
so bad that he came near diving. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and a thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. I had to put
mtttens on his hands to keep him from
tearing his skin around his wrists. He
got so weak and run down that he took
fainting spells like we would think him
dying. He was almost a skeleton and
his little hands were thin Ike claws.
g He was bad about eight months when
we tried Cuticura Remedies. I had not
laid him down in bis cradle Ia the day-
time for long time. He had got so
that he just slept in our arms al the
time. / washed him with Cuticura
Soap and put on one application OF
Cuticura and he was so soothed that I
put him IN the cradle. You don't know
how glad felt when be felt better.

vention that was a representative body Of the

democracy but because of their honesty and
integrity The Democratic party, when il
secured it's victory five years ago thougbt
IL was intrenched and waited until the next
campaign and to its unguarded nest the weasei
scot came sneaking and since that time we
have had no Democratic party. There have
peen no Democratic principles disseminated
In this new party. We disorganized dis
united and dsgruntled And now after a
lapse of all this time when a considerable
portion of the Democratic electors are re-
belling against a fall from the Democratic
principles. they are met by a so-called Demo.
cratic majority which is actuated by a de-
sire to get hold of a paying office.

lieves he march into the convention

composed Of the chairmen of the various
districts which compose the minority was
appointed to present plan of campaign

shortly after midnight in the headquar-

Skillful hands had transformed the spa
cious rooms of the association into a
scene of Oriental splendor that suggested
Aladdin's cave. On the walls of the main
chamber over two score of artistic wax
groups, symbolical of various epochs in
the history of ancient China, had been
hung, each so perfect in detail. that it re-
quired but little play of the imagination
to bring the delusion that the actual
scenes of past centuries were being wit
messed through the large end of an opera
glass. At each end Of the room a monster
papier mache figure of the See Die Gum
giants frowned threateningly upon the
visiting horde of the slant-eyed disciples
Of Confucius. The services of the cleo
trician has also been enlisted and myriad
lights lend additional attractiveness to
the scene. Three hundred jars of esthetic
chrysanthemums of various hues, donated
by the Hip Sin Tong, occupied a promi-

Policeman w. F. Krueger
Takes Enemy to
Prison.
Makes Good Threat to Get
Even With Former Witness
Against Him.

Policeman W. f. Kruger caused a SEN
sation in the Police Court corridors in
the Hall CT Justice yesterday morning by
suddenly grabbing hold Of Frank T. Bar
lis, grocer, 44e Clementina street, by ,bofh
ha'r;s and hustling him along to tho ele-
vator Barris was vigorously protesting
and Kruger was declaring, 'Tn teach
you to abuse ne in court" Barris was
taken to the City Prison and booked on
charge of disturbing the peace. but was
promptly released on IS cash bail.
Barris' son James and George O'Don-
nell, another boy, were in Police JuGge
Mogan's court yesterday on a charge of
malicious mischief for breaking a window
during fight on Saturday night. The
boys were arrested by Policemen Rear
don and Foley, but Krueger voluntarily
came to court and testified that Barris'
son was bad boy. Barris said to Krue-
ger in court, Although you have it in for
me you needn't have it in for the boy"
After the case was disposed of and while
Kruger was passing Barris the latter
said something TO Kruger in low voice.
Barris and his attorney, z. Shortall,
were talking quietly in the corridor to
the woman whose window was broken,
when Kruger made a rush at Barris.
Barris asked what was the matter and
Kruger told him he was under arrest
for disturbing the peace. A crowd quick
ly gathered and followed the policeman
and his prisoner to the elevator. In the
elevator Barris told Kruger he would
bring him before the Police Commission
ers and prove to them that he was the
worst policeman on the force.
Barris was a witness before the Police
Board last July against Kruger, who was
charged with breaking the RIBS of a hand
cuffed prisoner in the patrol wagon on
the night Of July 4. Kruger was con-
victed and fined, and Barris says that he
swore to get even with him for testifying
against him.

PRELIMINARY HEARINGS.

BY consent of the attorneys Burnett's
preliminary hearing will take place at
1.30 D m October and the hearing of
Dasha and Dempsey on the day following
at 10 o'clock a. m.
The story that the conspirator met
at Dasha's house on the night Of Sep
tember II and divided the spoiIs of their
crime is untrue. AS a matter Of fact, ac
cording to Gamble and the Federal au-
thorities who are handling the case, there
was no money paid over for this last deal,
as il was only partially successful and the
Chinese refused to produce the amount
promised.
