COLLEGE OF MEDICINE OPENS
Twenty-First Annual Session Begins
With Elaborate Ceremonies-Plans
of Library Submitted

The twenty-first annual session OF
the College of Medicine of the Univer-
sity of California opened yesterday
morning. DIR. Walter Lindley, the
dean, addressed the students, outlining
the work to be accomplished by the
college. He said:
"a few years ago student could
leave farm and with little or almost
no preliminary education be admitted
to a medical college and graduate in a
few months. Today it is necessary for
the student to have a good, broad edu-
cation, and he is obliged to devote four
years Of eight months each before
graduation and is then expected to give
at least one year to hospital work. He
is obliged by every state in the union
to pass rigid examination by state
board of examiners before he is IL
censed to practice"
DR.. Granville MacGoN m of the chair
of surgery made an address stating the
difference between his college days in
the University of Pennsylvania and the
work of the present.
Prof. Lyman D. Stookey, professor
of physiology and physiological chem
istry, made a short address. DR.. Stock
ey arrived Sunday from the Univer-
sity of Strausburg.
Plans for the new college library do
mated by DR.. Walter Jarvis Barlow
were presented. The library building
will be located across the street from
the colleGe and will cost about $4,000.

WOULD LICENSE
WORTHY BEGGARS
COUNCILMAN HEALY TRIES TO
SOLVE PROBLEM
Question of Disposing of Mendicants
Now Throneing Streets Comes Be-
fore Legislative Committee.
Many Complaints Made

Councilman Healy would issue IL
cense to worthy beggars, allowing
them to ply their vocation on the
streets. He preached this suggestion
at a meeting of the legislative com
mittee yesterday when the question OF
an ordinance to keep the begging Grip
pies off the streets came UP for con-
Sideration.
Let them go to the mayor or the
chief of police for a permit" suggest
ed Councilman Healy. Their cases
could then be looked into and If it was
found that they were worthy of the
privilege a permit could be issued &c
them"
This method might help to solve the
problem, but neither the mayor nor
the chief Of police nor any other off
cial has any legal power to issue such
permit. This is the opinion of AS
sistant City Attorney Goudge, who ex-
pressed himself in no uncertain terms
on this question yesterday afternoon
1.-THE ordinance prohibits begging OF
the soliciting of aims on the streets
and no one has the privilege of grant
ing permit to anyone for this purpose,
or otherwise authorizing it in any
manner" said Mr.. Goudge yesterday
Many Complaints Made
Complaints have been made to the
police commission about the large num-
Der of cripples that squat on the side
walks and display their loathsome de-
formities to the public in an appeal
for aims. AS the tourist season APP
proaches these beggars become more
numerous and more Objectionable I'M
til near the Christmas holidays 1t Is
almost impossible to walk block In
any part of the business district with
out hearing their piteous walls. Even
now there are hordes of these human
parasites on the streets and their num-
Der is constantly increasing. Many of
them are criminals Of the worst class,
say the police.
The police commission, last April,
asked the city council for an ordinance
that would keep the cripples off the
street claiming that the ordinance
now in force applied only to able
bodied men. 1t was afterward dis
covered that the ordinance applied to
cripples as we'll, but was not stringent
enough. When the problem reached
the hands of the city council it was
turned over to the legislative COM
mittee for action. Acting on the advice
of members of the city council, the
city attorneys office prepared another
ordinance about two weeks ago, but
this has not yet been passed, although
there is every likelihood that favorable
action will be taken at the next meet
ing of the council.
The legislative committee took no
action on the question yesterday other
than to refer it back to the police COM
mission with a politely worded re-
quest that the commission draw up its
own ordinance and submit it to the
council. When the commission is made
aware that such an ordinance has been
drawn it will doubtless recommend
that it be passed.

TO CONSTRUCT SPUR TRACKS
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Con-
tend for jackson Street
Franchise

The board of public works will to-
day investigate the matter of grant
ing either the Santa Fe or Southern
Pacific railroad permission to build a
spur track on Jackson street.
A majority of the property owners on
Jackson street have signed petition
asking that the privilege be granted
to the Santa Fe road.
In speaking of the proposed construc-
ton one of the principal property own
crs on Jackson street said last night:
Where the Santa Fe has construct
ed spur tracks heretofore property
values have increased from so to 100
per cent. On Banning and CONNER
cial streets the Santa Fe built a spur
track. The construction on those
streets was opposed by a number of
property owners. Most of the men who
fought the Santa ITe there have since
sold their holdings for double their
former value
The Southern Pacific, however, is
making considerable Roadway in the
campaign by it's offer to buy all lots
necessary to widen Jackson street to
ninety feet, grade and put it in perfect
condition and lay cement sidewalks

BELIEVE GIRL IS
SHIELDING FRIEND
POLICE WORK ON THEORY OF
MURDER
Elsie WiIdbIood Repeats: at Is All
Bound to Come Out Soon;
1t Is Sure to Be
Known"

Convinced that Elsie Wildblood, who
went to the police station a few days
ago and declared she is a murderess,
is attempting to shield man whom
she has met frequently in Los Angeles,
detectives have been working steadily
on the case.
Following the incidents as published
in The Herald yesterday, the police
have been attempting to find some trace
of the man, but up to the present time
their efforts have been without Sue
cess.
The matron of the Door of Hope,
where Miss Wildblood is being cared
for, has been instructed by the officers
to say nothing regarding the case, and
as the girl refuses to talk of her part in
the affair but little has been learned
OF the mysterious crime of which she
says she is guilty.
At the Door of Hope yesterday the
girl was reported in an improved con-
dition. She is being treated by ply
sicians. The doctors express the be-
lief that the girl is sane, although Ia
boring under some great mental strain.
But one thing she will say, and this
she repeats continually: 1T is all bound
to come out soon. 1t is sure to be
known"
The police believe that If they can
find the man with whom Miss Wild
blood was seen at the postoffice and
whom it is generally believed she is en-
deavoring to shield, an unusual crime
may be brought to light.
That the girl is not insane but in re-
atty does know of a mysterious MUIR
der is the belief of those who have
been following the case since Miss
Wildblood first reached Los Angeles.

MONTGOMERY TANGLE
SUBMITTED TO Referee
CHARGES AGAINST ATTORNEY
MADE BY BANKRUPT
Former Proprietor Of Lincoln Hotel
Claims He Sold Property for $4,000
and That Purchaser Now Contends
Price Was but $1,000

AS result Of recent disagreement
between w. D. Montgomery a bank
rupt, and number of his creditors
as to the value of the Lincoln hotel
the claims of both parties were sub,
mitted yesterday to Attorney Lynn
Helm, referee in bankruptcy and dur
ing the dispute between the interested
creditors, charges were made against
Attorney William G. Cook
Montgomery took advantage of the
bankrupt law several weeks ago. A
short time before he had opened nego-
tiations with Mrs. Belle McWilliams
for the sale of the Lincoln. his only
remaining piece of property, so that
as many claims as possible might be
satisfied
When the bankruptcy proceedings
were turned over to the Los Angeles
Credit Mems association for adjust
ment, Attorney Craig soon learned that
some doubt existed as to the real sale
price of the Lincoln hotel.
Mrs. Belle McWilliams contended she
had paid $4,000 for the hotel, while
Montgomery and number of his
friends insisted that $4,000 was the sale
price; $4,000 of which had been cash
and the remainder in the form of g
deed to a South Hill street boarding
of the local banks, pending the finaI
settlement of the deal.
Montgomery was summoned before
Referee Helm yesterday. He stated
that Attorney Cook, acting for Mrs
McWilliams had destroyed the deed
that Mrs. McWilliams might still re-
tain her ownership of the South Hill
street lodging house.
Attorney Cook Indignantly denied the
allegation that he attempted to cheat
the creditors by holding back certain
assets for the benefit of his client.
Mrs. McWilliams then took the stand
in her own behalf and asserted that
the sale price of the Lincoln was 5000,
and that there had been no considera-
ton as to a rooming house.
The case was continued for further
examination and argument.
Montgomery first came into promi-
nence several weeks ago when he was
arraigned before Judge Wilbur in the
superior court on charge of insanity.
He was alleged to have threatened
violence to Miss Mary Meister, who
was employed at the Lincoln hotel as
clerk. The evidence showed that Mont
gomery had adopted the young woman
years ago, but had been living with her
as man and wife for several years past.
The appearance of n new lover on the
scene was alleged to have caused the
older mans jealousy.
1t was later alleged that a num-
Der of interested parties were attempt
ing to send the old man to the insane
asylum to get hold of his property.
Montgomery was discharged by the
insanity commission and Immediately
filed his bankruptcy proceedings.
