SCHOOLS To CLOSE
JUNE TH|RT|ETH
BOARD OF EDUCATION FIXES
DATE OF HOLIDAY
FLINT WILL REVIEW CLASSES
Report of erIntendent Shows Re-
n1arkable Amount of Trees and
Foliage Planted Last
Arbor Day

The present school year will close
June 30 and school will open again after
the vacation season on September 25.
These dates were determined upon at
the meeting of the board of education
yesterday.
The report Of the superintendent
showed that on Arbor day there we're
planted in the grounds of the city
schools 1903 trees of various varieties,
ranging from the stately live oak red
wood and sycamore down to stately or
namental shrubs. In addition to these
175 rose bushes, 1928 geraniums, 6s lilies,
many plants of iris, carnations, YER
benas. marigolds, sweet peas. pansies,
peoples, poinsettias, marguerites, vio-
lets, heliotrope and many vegetables
were planted.
The board decided to invite Senator
Frank P. Flint to address the gradu-
ating class of the high school and
the graduating class of the Polytechnic
high school. The commencement exer-
cises of the high school will probably
be held in the Mason opera house.
while the Polytechnic high will use
Simpson auditorium.
Thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents
was appropriated for the care of the
ten swarms of bees now belonging to
the several city schools and used in
the nature study department.
norton of the drawing exhibit of
the city schools which is to be sent
to the Portland exposition now adorns
the walls of the committee rooms of
the board of education.
The work shown is remarkable, show
ing the development from the first
grade until the pupil enters the high
schools. The work Is decorative and
many Of the designs are original with
the children. Others are drawn from
nature and still other portions of the
work are design work.
The Los Angeles school intends to
keep up the record set at the last two
or three worlds fairs. where the schools
of California received the highest medal
for general excellence.
AS soon as H. e. Huntington arrives
in Los Angeles the board intends to
take the question of special rates for
the transportation of night school
scholars up with him. He will also
be asked to pass the detention officer
and the children who may be in
his care.

FLOWER SHOW SCORES
ADISTINCT SUCCESS
Exhibition of Foreign Plants Grown
Here Attracts Many
Visitors

The flower show came to an end
last night after scoring a distinct
success in arousing an interest in the
citizens of Los Angeles i'm the grow
ing of flowers along scientific lines,
this being the primary object inducing
the exhibition of flowers and tropical
plants grown here with success.
The show was under the direction of
p. d. Barnhart and the Masonic
temple, where the show was held, was
filled during the open hours with
throngs of persons interested in the
study of botany and Horticulture.
Many rare specimens of tropical
plants and flowers grown in Los An
geles were on exhibition. They were
exhibited for the purpose of demon
strating that this climate is favorable
to the growth of plants which have
been considered capable of growth only
in their native countries. That they
have been successfully grown here and
thrive with equal beauty and hardi-
ness as in their native climes is con-
sidered sufficient argument for the
more general attention to these plants.
Mr.. Barnhart and his assistants care
fully explained to all the visitors the
names. nativity and characteristics Of
all the plants on exhibition and pre-
sented arguments showing that the
climate of Southern California IS as
favorable as any in the world to the
growing of tropical plants

Effect of the Drug

Through these mediums the drug be-
came known to their followers and by
degrees was taken up and used by
them. The effect of the drug is to
enslave the user just as certainly as
does opium, morphine or cocaine.
Once so enslaved, the victim is ON the
sure road to the madhouse.
A few days ago a Herald repre-
sentative, in the course Of conver-
sation with DIR. A. Mazzini, the
Hindoo swami, who occupies suite of
rooms at the Grand Pacific hotel, the
question of cause for the remarks BILE
increase in insanity in Los Angeles of
late was broached. The doctor un-
hesitatingly suggested that 1t was his
opinion that there were many uers OF
hasheesh in Los Angeles and prob
ably this fact might solve the problem
Il am acquainted with the symptoms
and effect of the use of the drug hav-
ing devoted much time and attention
to it's study while in India, where I
spent several years." said he. There

a habit and there is but one result

since coming to Los Angeles to study
its effect upon local users. On sew
eral occasions I have met an attorney
we'll known in the city, also a young
woman whose name is equally as easily
recognizable, and have noted the eff
fects of the use of hasheesh by them.
When the drug begins to take effect

mally dfated and this effect can be
noted without particular effort. The
drug is occasionally used by ignorant
mediums to advance their occult
powers and help them to materialize
their subjects, but the real effect is on
the order Of case of delirium tre-
mems"
Has Growing Demand
Another physician stated that he is
aware Of the growing demand for the
drug, but has made no particular in-
vestigation as to its effect upon the
user. He Is, however, acquainted with
the properties possessed by 1t and
agrees that the excessive use of It will
inevitably result in insanity. The same
testimony was given by several other
physicians who we're called upon for
an opinion.
The drug Is used extensively by
Oriental healers for various ailments
end purposes for which they claim It's
magic properties influence relief, and It
is asserted that when used as a medi-
cine exclusively and on prescription It
has excellent qualities. the III effects
arising from It's abuse In excessive use

1t Is claimed that the effect Of It's
use Is not unlike cocaine and opium in
that It will produce visions OF countless
wealth and all sorts of beauteous
objects fair to gaze upon. II also pro-
duces a wonderful effect upon the fa-
oial muscles, causing them to contract
and pinch the face into horrible con-
tortions. When under it's influence the
victims eyes stand out upon their
cheeks until the victim resembles what
he or she will eventually become, a
raving maniac.
Some spiritualists claim for 1t a
power to materialize their subjects and
place them under complete subsection.
BY It's use they claim ability to force
the spirits Of the dead to stalk forth
and hold converse with their liv-
ing loved ones. But the ultimate result
of excessive use of the drug Is insanity.

Asleep In Sections 9

1T is an interesting though not generally
known fact, young gentlemen" said lee
turer In New York city college to his class
that when you go to sleep you do not do so
all at once. The different senses and organs
sink to sleep in succession. The first to fall
asleep is the sense of sight; second. taste;
third smell; fourth, hearing, and fifth and
last tho sense of touch The powers Of the
mind may in the meantime be most active or
deranged, according to circumstances, but they
are never altogether coherent"
That accounts then," interposed student
for the assertion that the police on the west
side are asleep all the time-they have enough
senses left awake to keep them going"

sense Of touch is the last to fall asleen

INSANITY CAUSED
BY HINDOO DRUG
RESULT OF USE OF HASHEEsH
is INEVITABLE
MANYvICTIMS IN LOS ANGELES
Some spIritualists Claim Magic Pow
ers Are Produced by II, Enabling
Them to Msteriallze Subjects
More Easily

The inevitable result Of the use of
hasheesh, a powerful Oriental drug, Is
insanity, according to the opinion of
those members Of the medical frater-
nifty who have devoted much study to
the symptoms and effects caused
by It.
A number of prominent physicians in
Los Angeles have been interviewed by
a representative Of The Herald during
the last week, with view to ascer-
tanning Just what were the symptoms
and effects produced upon ths victims
Of the East indian weed and what re-
ation It bore to the increased number
Of cases of insanity In and around the
city.
The result of these interviews forces
the conclusion that a large numbe"
Of cases Of insanity in the city are
directly attributable to the use of
hasheesh and that the craze, IL such
1t may be termed, has its origin in a
most remarkable manner.
The drug, of which little is known
In America, Is distinctly Hindoo and
Is imported from India. 1t was intro
duced into this country through a de-
mand of ignorant mediums and spirit
ualists for stimulus upon their oc-
cult powers. it being claimed for the
drug that 1t would assist the medium
in materializing the spirits with which
they wished to communicate.

Suicide Clause Barred.

Mr.. Peterson also offered measure
which prohibits insurance companies
from Withholding payment on a poll
cy on the ground that the holder COM
nitted suicide, whether insane, or not,
and whether the suicidewas voluntary
Or involuntary. The last provision
excited some comment among those
who read the bill.
Mr.. Peterson explains his bill by
saying that its enactment will save
endless litigation in cases where there
S a suspicion that death was due to
the act of the insured. He argues that
insurance is primarily for the benefit
of the heirs, and through the suicide
clause in effect in many policies, the
innocent are made to suffer from the
acts ofsothers.

VISIT TO NEW ULM CHANGES VIEWS
Rev. R. P. Herrick Finds Conditions Here Not
as Represented.

t Rev r. P. Herrick of Minneapolis.
who has general superintendency Of the
Congregations churches Of the state,
was. in the city Thursday in consulta-
tion with the officers OF the local
church. He inquired minutely into
the condition of the organization and
was greatly surprised at the evident
substantial condition of the church
and the harmony that exists.
He had been led to believe that there
was great dissension brought about by
division caused by different views Of
the members on the innocence or guilt
OF DR.. Koch. He said that there was
the state, but he was pleased to see
that the feeling had not entered into
the management of the affairs Of the
church and that the people were ready
and willing to cooperate with a pas
tor as soon as they were able to secure
one.
In commenting on the financial con-
dition Of the organization he said il
was better by far than many Of the
churches with a larger membership
and more fortunate in the appointment
of pastors and he hoped that the time
would soon arrive when the right man
would come to the people and they
would enter upon a period of pros
perity such as they have never had.
4 Mr. Herrick is familiar with the con
! ditions that confront the local church
/ having been here several times, and is

OPTIONS MUST PAY LICENSE
S. D. Peterson Takes Long shotat
Bucketshops.
Would Have Dealers in Options
Pay for Privileges.
Says Few Get Value Received Try
ing to Beat Option Game.

Hon. S. d. Peterson of this county
has attracted some attention in the
house OF representative by the intro
duction of bill, which, il it becomes
a law, will afford an additional source
of revenue for the places in which COM
mission houses are doing business.
Nearly every city of any size in this
state is credited with one of the branch
Offices of Edwards, Wood & Co. or
| the Coe Commission Co., and some Of
them have one of both The bill, if it
passes, will have tendency to de-
prive many OF the places OF these
Offices. as very few OF them can stand
the license fee and be made self
sustain ;ng.
The bill eNenpts commission COM
panies trans acting bona fde trades in
commodities in which actual delivery
is accomplished. Persons, firms and
corporations doing a business in fu-
ture deliveries are, however, compelled
to pay a municipal license. For cities
of SO, 900 or over the license fee is fixed
at 81, 900 annually for every such Office
maintained. In cities of 10000 or over
the license is Sl,500, for 5000 or over
it is $1,000, and for cities, villages and
towns of less than 10000 the license
exaction is 5000. Violation Of the
terms of the act are to be treated as
misdemeanors, and a fine of $500 to
81 900, or ninety days in Jail, may be
imposed by any court of competent
Jurisdiction.
Speaking OF the terms Of his bill,
Mr.. Peterson says:
"Why shouldn't dealers in futures
or options be made to contri butte
toward the general expense of running
the government? If a circus comes to
st. Paul it is charged a license fee of
81 900 per day, and this is done on the
theory that it takes to much money out
of the city. Imagine, if you please,
the number Of millions of dollars the
citizens Of this state send to Chicago
and New York every year through
local brokers, or option dealers. My
idea is that when you attend a circus
you get value received, but when you
try to beat this game you are sure to
lose. My bill is not intended to reach
actual bona fide transactions where
the commodity is bought or sold in
good faith. =
