SENDS YOUTH TO WHITTIER

Gets Divorce
Special to The Herald.

SDeClhl 10 nC
RIVERSIDE Oct 2S.-Earl Baker, an
incorrigible 13-year-old, was committed
to the Whittier state school today by
Judge Noyes. The boy has rather bad
record for a Juvenile. He has broth
err in Whittier and an S-year-old sister
with a somewhat interesting career.
A few months ago this young pre-
cocious showed up at the county jail
and declared that she had been de-
serted by her parents and could not
tell where they had disappeared to.
Mrs Brown, wife of the jailer, took
charge of the child and did everything
possible for her. 1t finally developed
that her home was less than two blocks
away. AS there were ten other chill
dren at home, young Ethel evidently
had not been missed. A little later the
child stole a horse and buggy and while
driving about in the evening was struck
by a switch engine. The horse was
killed, but the little girl escaped with
out scratch. Her next esCapade was
beating her way on the train to Los
Angeles, en- route to visit her brother.
She told the officers there a fine fairy
tale and was finally sent home. The
Bakers are respectable, Woodworking
people.
Mrs. Maggie Kenna was this morning
granted a decree of divorce from
Thomas Kenna, who is serving out a
term in the Los Angeles county jail for
beating her. The court awarded her
the custody of minor children and de-
creed that when her husband gets out
of Jail he should pay her $50 a month
alimony. Kenna is a plumber.

SANTA BARBARA, Oct. 28.-An ef-
fort is being made here to change the
city charter to have the city councilmen
elected at large by a general vote of
the people instead of by wards. The mat
ter was introduced at last nights meet
ing of the directors of the chamber of
commerce and was enthusiastically re-
ceived by them. A committee was ap-
pointed to take the necessary steps to
have the proposed amendment brought
before the public.
1t has been found that it is now too
late to have the matter brought before
the people at the coming election, as it
is necessary to publish the proposed
amendments at least sixty days prior
to the election. 1t is hoped, however
that the matter may be introduced at a
special election called by the city
council.
The main purpose of this change is
to improve the personnel Of the city

PASSENGERS LEFT BEHIND
Violate Plague Quarantine at Honolulu
and Cannot Resume Their
Voyage
BY Associated Press.

HONOLULU, Oct. 2S.-As a result of
the partial quarantine in force at this
port against the bubonic plague, four
teen steerage passengers of the steam
er Mongolia were left behind today
when the vessel resumed her voyage
to San Francisco. The men left be-
hind were mostly members of the crew
of the steamer Barracuda, which was
recently seized by the Japanese off the
island of Sakhalin. When the Mon
golia arrived here the fourteen steer
age passengers came ashore in violation
of the quarantine ordinance and the
officers of the vessel refused to allow
them to return. The local restrictions,
which practically amount to a quaran-
tine, have been imposed by the federal
health officers on account of the few
sporadic cases of plague which exist
here, condition which has contin-
uously prevailed for years.
1t is understood that the action of
the officers of the Mongolia in refusing
to take the steerage passengers on
board again was due to a warning from
the health officers that she would not
be passed by the San Francisco health
officers If steerage passengers We're
allowed to go ashore here.
