YOUNG BOYS ADDICTED
TO USE OF OPIUM
Father of One Lad Pleads to Court
for Release of Son, Who
Graves the Druq

LET me have the boy, judge, and
promise that will take him away from
evil companions and try and make a
man out of him." was the earnest plea
of a father in Justice Chambers court
yesterday morning, in behalf OF his
son, who was charged with vagrancy.
The young man was Gay Absom, who
was arrested several days ago in
house of ill-repute on South Los An
geles street by Officers Zeigler and Ho-
sick. When the officers broke in the
door leading to Absom's room they
found that the place was being used
as "roost' for messenger boys. Young
Absom and William White were in
charge. They were both arrested and
the room searched. In one corner,
where it had been placed prior to the
entrance of the officers, was found a
complete set of opium pipes. Several
dollars worth of whole opium and
quantity of ashes were found in the
set, which included two fine pipes,
three lamps, a half dozen caps and an
zen schi gau."
White appeared for trial yesterday
morning. He pleaded not guilty. He
had no friend to interfere in his behalf,
and so he conducted his own defense.
The faces OF both youths were fear
fully marked by the ravages of the
drug, and when White was called to
the stand he explained to the court the
various uses of the opium set.
Upon the promise Of the father to
take the boy to farm in San Diego
county and keep him away from evil
associates Absom was released.
White was found guilty of the charge,
and will be sentenced today.

PRISONER CoNFESSESTo FOUR
DARING R0BBERIES
Declares In Court He Would Not
Lie II He Had to Hang
for Il the Next
Moment

p. L. Patterson. arrested several
days ago on suspicion, confessed in the
police court yesterday to four daring
hold-ups, and was held to answer to
the superior court in the sum of $2500.
The prisoner was perfectly cool and
! collected and astonshed the officers
and court attendants by the clean
breast he made of his crimes.
Patterson, who is young waiter,
was arrested in Bakersfield several
days ago and brought to Los Angeles
by Detective Hawley. On the way here
he confessed to the detective.
When the case was called yesterday
morning Patterson was the coolest one
in the court room, and during the taxi
ing of the testimony Of his victims he
smiled repeatedly, as though the recol-
lection of his crimes recalled peculiar
and amusing actions on the part of the
poker players.
Patterson was the last witness and
under oath he made a clean breast
of all his crimes since arriving in Los
Angeles several weeks ago.

another friend. This last man was
called AL Howell. He is big fellow.
He claimed to be a gambler and a good
poker player, and we went to a road
house on Boyle Heights and played
poker, winning a little money.
Several days later we lost some
money and were in a tight place, when
Howell said he had dairy at OK
nard and we could go there and get
some money. When we arrived there
man was milking a COW. Howell
walked up to him and pointed re-
volver at him. He then searched him,
but got no money.

ell attempted to rob them, but they
called out loud and ran. The next
night Howell proposed that we hold
up the road house on East First street
and we went out there. We played
poker awhile, and later returned there
and pointed our revolvers at the play
ers, telling them they were caught
gambling and that their money would
be returned to them later. We held
up another place in similar way and
then I left for Bakersfield, where I was
arrested"

Curtain Falls in Romantic Love
Comedy, When Couple Are
Married in Attorney
Allender's office

The curtain fell yesterday in one of
the most romantic love comedies which
has ever been played in Cupid's do
main of Los Angeles county, when A.
e. Williams, once disappointed lover,
finally won the woman of his choice,
Miss Elizabeth Posey, pretty young
Southern girl employed as cashier
in the Broadway Department store.
Like all real romantic marriages, the
event was of sudden precipitation, and
the couple were quietly married by
Justice Young of the township court in
the law offices of Attorney s. W. AL
lender in the Hellman building.
Williams and his bride had completed
arrangements for the wedding in the
early part of last week, but opposition
on the part of the young woman's
parents overshadowed the event.
At first the opposition failed to have
great weight, but when Dr. Carroll,
the girls brother-in-law, said some
thing about filing Williams full of lead

DR.. Carroll interrupted the wedding
march and the bride was persuaded to
accompany him to her home.

williams then decided to appeal to
the courts, and the timeworn remedy
of the writ of habeas corpus was re-
sorted to.
While in the court room, the young
woman said she was not restrained OF
her liberty, whereupon Judge Smith
denied the writ and Williams love
dreams were for a time but empty
hopes.
The young woman's consistency, how
ever, was weighed in the balance and
found not wanting, and the final chap
ter in their love affairs was written
yesterday.

England is the home and asylum of
anarchists, the place where the most
nefarious plots are Matched against the
heads of states in all parts of the world.
Yet our purely English anarchists can
be counted on the fingers. The anar-
chist ranks in this country would be
reduced to zero without the constant
influx of penniless foreigners whose
only means of living is-the receipt OF
renlittances from wealthy, and often
highly placed, villains abroad, whose
own support depends entirely on the
constant reports they receive of anar-
chistic work accomplished here. 1t is,
above all, amongst the young at their
most impressionable period that these
foreign anarchists are most influential

American female anarchist, was in

The natives OF Samoa, says Surgeon
Spear of tile navy, in recent report,
are beginning to wear white mems
clothes, much to the detriment of their
health. The climate is essentially a wet
one. In former times a native would
rub little cocOanut oil on his skin and
go out into the rain, and when he
reached shelter there was nothing to
dry but his 'lava-lava' or breech-cloth
The same native now goes out in the
rain, his modern clothes soon become
wet and, before he realizes it, he is
soon chilled through, for the rain in
Samoa is always from 6 degrees to 10
degrees colder than the atmosphere.
Pulmonary affections, such as pneu-
monia, bronchitis and tuberculosis,
naturally follow.
The Samoans are very superstitious,
and when taken sick they imagine
devils are inside them. Almost every
old woman and man has sure cure
for driving out these devils. This is
accomplished by .lomi lOmi and eXter-
nal applications of various decorations
made from leaves. If cure results,
the devils have been driven out Nif, on
the other hand, death follows, the
devils are victorious.
The traders sell the natives a patent
pain killer which can be used internally
as medicine and externally as lini-
ment This medicine is very highly
thought of, and the natives will tell
you they have great confidence in it !;
sometimes they name their children
after it. A sick Samoan thinks that
he must walk when sick, his theory be-
ing that he must move about to regain
strength. If he cannot walk he will
bury himself under the clothes, and it
is wonderful sometimes how they OBJ
tain air enough to breathe.
The usual treatment Instituted in q
case of pneumonia by the natives is
about as follows: The man sits up al
most continually; he is stuffed with all
kinds of food and decorations to drive
out the devils the number of devils
being estimated by the amount of pain.
If much pleurisy exists there are at
least eight devils in the chest, and it
requires energetic treatment to drive
them out. The man gets up, walks
about as long as he can, and when he
can no longer walk he lies down and
his head is covered up carefully, so as
to exclude all fresh air. If the man
survives the ordeal his attendants con-
slider themselves experts i'll treating
that particular disease.

THE WORLDS ANARCHISTS.
ENGLAND A DUMPING GROUND
FOR THE 4BF0C4TES OF
ASSASSINATION.
English Expert Believes the Cues
ton is One for international Acc
tion.-Could be ST amped Out.
By John Sweeney
(Late Detective-Inspector, Scotland
Yard

Mr.. Sweeney intimates that
regulations against anarchists
are much more effective In the
United States than in England.
1t is the opinion of American
officials, however, that such is
not the case to any extent. lt
is true that Congress passed a
law, shortly following the assas-
sination of President Mckinney,
empowering the immigration
Bureau to refuse admission to
anarchists, but in only a single
instance, that of John Turner,
who was arrested in October,
1903, and after fighting the case
and appealing it to the United
States Supreme Court, was
forced to leave the country, has
admission been refused to for
eign anarchists, although 1T is an
unquestionable fact that many
have entered our ports.
Although the moral effect OF
the law, which provides that
anarchists, if they are proven
to be Sucn, can De uepoileu dl
any time within three years af-
ter their arrival, is undoubtedly
good, the law needs strengthen
ing, since if an immigrant
chooses to deny that he is an
anarchist and believes in assas-
sination or the overthrow OF
government, the authorities are
powerless to reject him. AS a
matter of fact, it is believed by
the government officials that in
the matter of free anarchistic
speech and the printing and dis
semination of flaming literature,
the United States harbors con.
ditions which are not materially
different from those described III
England by Observation-Disclosures
Sweeney.

PEAT As LOCOMOTIVE FUEL.

Successful Tests of 1t in New Eng

Peat is abundantly stored in the
Maine boys. Androscoggin county is
claimed to have peat to supply all
Maine with fuel for a dozen genera
tions. A number of experiments have
recently been made by the Boston and
Maine railroad in the use of peat fuel.
The company had it's attention called
to the value of peat as a steaming
agency some weeks ago, and upon rep
resentation that if properly prepared
it was equal to bituminous coal, was
induced to test its qualities. These
were eminently satisfying and a car
load of the material has been delivered
for further experiment. The source OF
supply is in the town Of Lexington
Mass, and it is said that this single de.
posit would furnish enough fuel for al
the railroads entering Boston for 25C
