MUST
ATTEND SCHOOL
Board of Education Will Re-
quest Aid in Enforcing
Recent Child Labor Law
REVENUE Is IN DANGER
Unless the Attendance Is In
creased City Will Suffer
Serious Loss in Fund

School Director Roncovieri, president
of the Board of Education, was busy
yesterday preparing a resolution which
will be adopted az to-day's meeting Of
the board and having for its object
the Increase Of the average daily at
tendance OF pupils in the public schools.
The fact that the State apportion-
ment of the common school funds is
based under a recent act Of the Legis-
lature on the actual attendance. instead
of the school census, as formerly, will
cause a loss of some s250.o00 in the
school revenue of San Francisco. II is
therefore with the idea of increasing
the attendance Of pupils in order to
make UP some of the loss in revenue
that the resolution prepared by Ron
covieri will be adopted.
The resolution is in the nature of an
appeal to all the municipal depart
ments, including that Of the police, and
to citizens generally, 10 cooperate in
the enforcement of the law that re-
quires all children under IA years OF
from working under the child labor
law, which is also a new measure
passed by the last Legislature.
II is said that the law will compel
the dismissal Of several thousand chill
dren under II years of age who have
been employed in the department and
other stores. It is with the purpose OF
compelling these children to go 10
school that the Board of Education in
vites the assistance of the public at
large to increase the daily attendance
Of pupils. Children between IA and 16
years OF age will only be permitted to
work by special permission from the
Juvenile Court on condition that their
parents are invalids and require their
support Some OF these children also
will therefore be compelled to go to
school.
The resolution will make a special
appeal TO the Police Department to con-
stitute each policeman a truant officer.
whose aim it will be to compel the at
tendance of all children of school age
This resolution is important" said
Roncovieri, and trust that IL will re-
ceive attention. Our average daily at
tendance is now about 40, 900 in total
Of 20s,0 900 pupils for the entire State
There is no doubt that the other fifty
six counties will make extraordinary
efforts to increase the attendance In
schools, as the school revenue will be
computed on the attendance. Now II
behooves San Francisco to make ex-
traordinary efforts to increase the num-
Der of pupils from 10000. If we do not
and other counties make an increase
II viii reduce our pro rata of the State
funds We ought to have an average
attendance of $4,000 or $4,000 and we
can have II If we work together. Each
city department. is interested in tie
matter, as the more money we receive
from the State the less will the city
have to provide for schools and the
money so saved can be utilized to pave
streets or for other public improve
ments- The Supervisors, however, must
certainly give US the funds to establish
the extra classes which will be required
TO accommodate any largely increased
attendance OF pupils"

GIVES LETTER
To HER ENEMY
Discarded Lover. Seeking
Revenge, Has Inamorata's
Missives Read in Court
SAYS HE HAS MORE
John Scott Takes Further
Vengeance on Eta Larsen.
Whose Clothes He Cut Tp

OAKLAND, May f.-To get even with
a woman he says played him false, John
Scott gave a love letter written to him
by Mrs. Eta Larsen. pretty and petite
blonde, whose husband is away at pres
ent, into the hands of her enemies, and
the letter was read in court to-day, to her
confusion. She was the proprietor of the
Davis House, at 41s Sixth street, and has
been turned out of the place through
foreclosure proceedings. In combating
this she said that the money paid for the
house was her husbands separate prop
erty and then the following letter was
sprung by the other side:
Friday, Oct 3.-My Own Jack: The
girls are not going to Oakland to-mor-
row night, SO you come over here and
meet me at Third street at Lotta's foun-
tain. I must see you-the most important
thing TO us and our welfare.
Carl and / went before a notary pub
lie to-day. and he made the place all over
TO me, and ] think he intends to do some
thing to himself. Anyway, he is not in
his right mind. VIII tell you more when
/ see you, and don't fail me, Jack. ]
want to see you SO badly and tell you
what has passed.
Now, dear, don't think he is wise
in regard TO you and l, for il is not
that. It concerns himself; only meet me
at O'Clock or a little after at Third
street but il will just be your luck not 10
come down because / want to see you so
much. / will go over to Oakland on the
g o'clock boat Sunday morning. Yours
with love"
The letter was not signed, but Jack
was on hand. II is stated that he had
been led into believing that he was the
only one the fair Eta had ever loved,
and for many months most of his earn
ings had gone to give his inamorata
pleasure. Then there was an awakening.
When he found out that he was not the
only pebble on the beach he raised an
awful ruction. He went into her rooms
and tore up the dresses he had helped
to buy and cut up her hats and her rib
bons and is still out for vengeance.
There are more letters which Jack says
he will identify if they are introduced
into the case.
Carl Larsen, the husband. is at present
away in the mines, oblivious to the turn
affairs have taken in his family matters.

supreme Court End. Disputes.

The Supreme Court decided yesterday
that w J. Lean has a lien on $4700
piece of land owned by j. A. Givens.
The property was transferred to the
defendant By woman who possessed
homestead rights TO the extent of $1,000.
Lean claimed his judgment against her
was a lien on the land for whatever IT
might be worth more than the $1,000
and both the Superior and Supreme
courts sustain him. Edwin T. Earl,
proprietor of the Los Angeles Express,
was denied his petition that the City
Council be restrained from granting
the contract for municipal printing to
the Times Mirror Company. 1t was also
decided that an attachment of the Sac
ramento Bank on property owned by
r. H. Mcdonald was valid in spite OF a
subsequent conveyance of the land 10

JURORS ABSENCE DELAYS
THE TRIAL OF REBSTOCK
Plea That He Cannot Be Prosecuted
After Teetifyfng Before Grand
Jury Is Not Sustained.

The trial OF Joseph Rebstock, in
dicted by the Grand Jury for violation
OF the election law by an officer of a
primary election precinct, had to be
postponed in Judge Lawlor's court yes
terday, owing to the absence of John
Dohcrty, one of the jurors. BY mistake
he had been notified not to appear in
court till further advised and went TO
Ukiah, where he has a contract. 1t is
expected that he will return in time
10 be present this morning
Attorneys Newburg and O'Grady
argued after the jury had left the
courtroom that owing to the fact that
the defendant was compelled TO testify
before the Grand Jury, he could not be
further prosecuted. They submitted
the plea in the nature of an abatement
and quoted authorities In support OF
their contention.
After District Attorney Byington had
replied, the Judge ruled that the law
of California does not recognize pleas
In abatement or in bar and that such
pleas must be submitted under the
general plea of not guilty. Rebstock s
attorneys say they will take the case
to the Supreme Court on this point
