CARPENTER TELLS
OF COCKPIT RAID
SAYS HE WAS FRIGHTENED
AND SHOT INTO AIR
Asserts That Frey Ran Away and
That in Pursuit Two Shots
Were Fired by the
Officers

without the slightest outward APP
pearance of malice C. M. Carpenter, the
officer connected with the Los Angeles
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, who is. charged with the muir
der of Christian David Frey, yesterday
went on the stand i'm his own behalf
and in straightforward manner told
the jury of his connection with the raid
on the cooking main held at Hunters
ranch last May.
How did you come to go to the
cockpit?" asked Attorney Rogers.
Under the orders of Chief officer
Zimmer," replied Carpenteg.
did you hear anything?" continued
the attorney.
"You bet 1 did, I heard two Shots"
replied Carpenter.
He testified that the men ran, where
upon officer thinner called upon them
to halt, saying that they were under
arrest. At the same time Zimmer or
dered his men to put their official stars
on, and resist the unlawful flight of
the men.
Carpenter said he was unacqualnted
with Frey, and that he had no feeling
against him.
II ordered Frey to halt" testified the
officer, but Frey replied that there
was no officer who could arrest him.
and he continued his flight for liberty"
II followed him and seized him, but
he whipped his horse and escaped
through the willows" said Carpenter.
Under examination Carpenter testi-
fed that Frey knocked him from the
back of the buggy.
Fired Into Air
"a shot was fired and was scared,
as / did not know where 1t came from,
so l drew my revolver and fired into
the air." testified the witness.
He declared that he did not fire in
the direction of Frey and disclaime /
any intention of injuring the dead man.
He insisted that the first he had
heard Of the death of Frey was at the
time the detectives arrived and placed
him under arrest.
Everything before me turned black,
I was so surprised" said Carpenter
'I have been in such a nervous and
Frustrated condition ever since that I
have been a sick man." declared the
officer.
Ex-Governor Gage on behalf of the
prosecution then took up the cross
examination of the defendant.
Are you not a good shot?" asked
the prosecutor.
"Yes, sir, 1 am a fair shot," replied
Carpenter.
The attorney asked but one or two
more questions. and without attempting g
to shake the testimony OF the accused
excused him.
Officer Dromgold., who was connected
with the raid on the cooking main, was
called to the stand in behalf of the de-
fendant.
When court opened yesterday morn
ing the prosecution called a number of
witnesses to the stand, but their testi-
mony was of little value as tending to
prove the contention made by the pros
ecution.
The prosecution rested it's case short
ly after court convened yesterday af-
ternoon, and the defense began the
fight for the freedom of the accused
officer.

RUSH WORK ON
NEW BUILDINGS
WALLS OF THE POLYTECHNIC
SCHOOL COMPLETED
Institution to Be the Most CompIets
of Its Kind in the West--Will
Accommodate 1900
Pupils

Work on the new polytechnic high
school buildings, which are now under
construction on Washington street,
near the corner of Grand avenue, is
being pushed by Contractor Engstrom
with large force of men. The con-
struction has reached a stage where
concrete workers, masons, carpenters,
molders, mill men, teamsters, pattern
makers and plasterers can all work at
once and the buildings arr teeming
with busy workers.
The brick work on the main build
ing and science building is about
completed. The walls of the
former are three stories high and
the cornice is being fitted. The six
huge pillars which support the roof
of the main entrance have just been
completed and are of solid masonry
This entrance is to be of splendid ar
chitecture and will be ornamented with
staff work of classic design.
The walls of the power room are up
and the masons are ready to begin
work on the fifty foot chimney. The
large science building will soon be
ready for the plasterers.
Practically the entire western sec.
ton of the school ground, which is l75
feet wide by 500 deep, is covered by
brick buildings of various shapes and
sizes. On the eastern extension of the
land the foundation of the assembly
hall is ready for the superstructure.
Assembly Hall
This hall is to seat 1900 people and
Will be used not only by the polytechnic
school but for all the schools in the
city and various meetings of an edu-
cational character. In the basement of
this building the gymnasium is to be
located in a room 4Ox70 feet with an
extremely high ceiling. All of the build
ings are connected by inclosed pas
sageways.
The drawing rooms are to be located
in superstructure on the roof of TIL.
main building and all space back of
this Is to be made a roof garden.
The machine room is commodious and
airy and will be lighted by north light
entirely after the manner of lighting
in the manual training school of the
Chicago university.
Principal Francis is enthusiastic over
the outlook for. his school and said
yesterday:
Los Angeles is to have one of thu
finest polytechnic schools in the Unite:
States and one of which the city may
well be proud. I feel confident that
the school will draw students from al
over this end of the state, and 1 do not
think it will be long after it is opene
before we have as many students as
can be accommodated
"The school can accommodate 12OC
or 1400 students. The board is asking
for an appropriation of $4,000 for
equipment, and with this sum to ex-
pend we can secure an equipment
which will be far ahead of anything
of like nature in the west. The groun IS
which have so far been secured are
entirely inadequate to the demands
and the school should and i think
will have more grounds before it is
opened"

Held Prominent Positions

During his residence in Missouri he
held many prominent positions and
was in the house and senate in that

DIR. YOUNG IS COMING.
VIII Deliver Christian Science Lecture
at Auditorium Sept. IA.

Mr.. Bfcknell Young, c. S. B., of
Chicago and member of the Christian
Science Board of Lectureship of the
First Church of Christ Scientist in
Boston, will deliver lecture on Chris
tan Science in the Auditorium, Thurs
day evening. September IA.
Mr.. Young is an able speaker and
comes we'll recommended.
The Concord Patriot of Concord, N.
H, in speaking of Mr. Young says:
MIR. Bicknell Young of Chicago lee
tured on Christian Science in the new
First Church of Christ Scientist, Sun
day evening (Oct. 16) at 1880. The
audience was a thoroughly representa-
tive one, every seat in the beautiful
auditorium being taken. Many stood
throughout the evening and hundreds
of others who desired to hear the
words of Mr.. Young were unable to
gain admission. The speaker was in
splendid voice and his distinct pro-
nunciation and enunciation enabled
every one in the large audience to fol-
low his every word. Throughout he
was listened to with the closest atten-
ton, and deep interest was manifested
by all present"
A correspondent for the Christian
Science Sentinel in reporting the lee
ture at San Francisco says: ga very
successful lecture was given here (Dec.

crowded house, over two thousand be-
ing present and hundreds turned away

ALBAUGH CLOSES UP.
Refuses to Give Information Concern
ing Devlin Affairs.

A peculiar thing in connection with
the present Devlin bankruptcy pro
ceedings in the federal court, is that
Clerk Morton Albaugh will not give out
to the public the involuntary proceed
ings which creditors are filing against
Devlin in the United States district
court.
What is the reason that you do not
give them out?" was asked of Mr. AL
baugh today.
"Oh, there is no news in them was
his reply. There is nothing in them
you want to see.''
And with that as an excuse he stops
the conversation. They are public
property and it is very strange that
they should be withheld from the
public.
The various creditors against Devlin
would like to know what claims exist
and that is what these involuntary pro-
ceedings will to a great extent divulge.
But for some reason or other they
must be kept away from the eyes of
the public, without any good explana-
ton for the action.
cases have been filed, not all of them
here, however. Clifford Histed, Mr.,
Devlin's personal attorney, was the
first to say anything about them. He
agreed to give out the companies pro-
lceeded against, but said that he would
first talk with some of the federal Off
Gals. Then he announced that he
would rather say nothing.

WHAT AIS PTrTsBURG?
A Remarkable Decline in the Birth
Rate Is shown.


Pittsburg, Sept. "a table of the
births and deaths in Pittsburg during
the past fourteen years. prepared by
City Physician DR.. B. A. Booth, for
the bureau of health shows a start
ling decrease in the births though a
large increase in population. In 1891
there were 1867 births. the rate per
thousand being 1851. In the same year
there were 1882 deaths, the rate per
thousand being 1851. The table is
complete to the end of 1904, which
shows a decrease in the birth rate to
21.74, more than per cent. The
death rate is decreased from 1851 to
1870 from 1891 to 1904 The figures
for the first three months of this year
are surprising. In 1901 the excess of
births over deaths was 1926 The fig
ures for this year indicate that the ex-
cess of births has been wiped out and
the conditions are reversed, there be-
ing a decrease of % births over the
death rate.
In commenting upon the report, DR..
Booth said: 1.-THE figures show that
more SO in Pittsburg than any of the
larger cities of the country. There is
also another feature At the present
advanced age the physicians save SO
per cent. more babies than they did
ten years ago. The advance made in
science has reduced the loss of cases
to the minimum. Taking this into
consideration with increase in popu-
lation and such a decided decrease in
the birth rate, it shows that something
is wrong. 1t again proves that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is right in his theories
on race suicide

The Gallatin valley, Montana.

Situated a little west of Bozeman, is
becoming celebrated as. the home of the
finest mailing barley grown in the Uni
ted States. Under the influence of irri-
cation, it is not uncommon to raise a
crop of fifty bushels to the acre, ard
the dryness of the atmosphere gives it
e better color than that grown in locali-
ties where the crop is dependent upon
the rainfall. The climate of Montana is
exceedingly healthful, and the proxi-
nifty of the mining camps, which
abound in the west, insures profitable
markets for all products of the farm.
The West Gallatin Irrigation COM
pany, located at Manhattan, hold their
land at from $500 to $500 per acre,
including water rights. There is a large
Holland settlement in the valley.
