TALKS ON PSYCHOLOGY
Or. Mclvor-TyndaII Addresses soelo-
Ioqical Students

Students of sociology of the Pomona
and Occidental colleges listened to an
address on Psychology in It's Relation
to Sociology" at the rooms of the Beth
lehem Institutional church yesterday
afternoon. The address was delivered
by DR.. Alexander j. McIvor-Tyndall.
DR. McIvor-Tyndall spoke of the vari-
Gus schemes for d-betterment and
said that he believed that no perma-
nent good can be attained save by
raising the standard of ideals for the
human race.
The speaker said in part: There is
a lesson that even here in America the
home of democracy, must be learned.
This lesson is that all work is good
and that it is only idlenesss that is
despicable. There is a very general
idea that education is wasted-thrown
away-unless man is going to take
up a profession. That is mistake.
Education is never wasted except when
it serves to make a man feel that he
is better than his fellow beings 1t is
Just as important to be a car conduc-
tor, and to do well the work that is
expected of you, as to become famous
judge. We imbibe from infancy wrong
ideals of success. Children Especially
in this country are constantly re-
minded that success means the ac-
cumulation of wealth. 1t is not that
they are taught merely the acquisition
of 81 comfortable living that shall in
sure time and leisure for culture, mind
you, but the acquisition of dollars"
Dr. McIvor-Tyndall will speak this
afternoon at Blanchard hall on "The
Devils Death" There will also be a
program of psychic phenomena.

NEGRO PLEADS
HIS OWN CASE
DUSKY PRISONER DISCHARGED
BY JURY
Judge Smith Is Informed as to Tech
nical Expressions Used Free
quently at Ascot
Park

What might be termed comedy of
errors was enacted yesterday in Judge
Smiths department of the superior
court when George Washington Bell
amy, formerly of the south but more
recently of Los Angeles, defended him
self on the charge of forgery and sue
ceeded in proving to the satisfaction of
the jury that he was innocent Bell
amy is negro of genuine type.
When not professionally engaged
George Washington Bellamy is en-
ployed as a la borer, and he spends his
odd moments in mixing paris green for
plaster.
He was charged with having inten-
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-19

tionally concocted "bunco" scheme
whereby he induced Ottman Brothers,
firm of grocers, to accept a check
signed by an unknown" in payment
for few bars of soap and a box of
matches.
BeIIamy Accepts Jury
Deputy District Attorney Rose meas
ured swords with the new aspirant for
professional honors. With great tor
rents of perspiration streaming down
his cheeks George Washington Bellamy
carefully looked over the jury panel
and then said;
rs there anyone present lin the jury
box that will not give me a fair trial
because | am a colored MANI"
The jurors advised Learned counsel"
that they were square, whereupon the
self-consttuted attorney told the court
that each and every juror looked good
to him.
Beilamy as Cross Examiner
The grocers walked into the witness
inclosure, one by one, and after they
had told the court of the circumstances
in the case George Washington Bell
amy proceeded to cross-cXamine them.
Officer Steele on direct examination
told the court that he was unable to
locate the persons who, it is said
signed their names to the legal tender
Bellamy explained to the court that
he had secured the checks in IA crap"
game at Ascot park at a place known
as Stable H. Section 21 and Stall 6.

SAYS SOAP MAGNATE
FAILED AS PROMOTER
Robert Williams Secures Writ of At
tachment Against J. w.
McCauIey

In a suit filed in court yesterday,
Robert Williams, mining man, seeks
to recover by attachment the sum of
$4,000, from John W. McCauley, well
known in Los Angeles as promoter
of enterprises.
AS indicated by the attachment sued
out yesterday Williams hopes to Sc
cure enough of McCauley's money,
which he is said to have on deposit in
the Southern California Savings bank
of Los Angeles and the Pasadena Ma
tional bank, to satisfy his claim.
McCauley promoted the Lemola Soap
company with $5,OOO,OOO capital stock,
40 per cent of which was to be pre-
ferred.
After he purchased an interest in the
corporation, Williams became dissatis-
fled with his purchase, and the suit filed
yesterday is the result.
Williams alleges that McCauley mis- :
represented the financial condition of
the concern, and in his complaint he
says that McCauley spent most of his
time disposing of the stock.
1t appears from the complaint that
the company does not own its plant,
and that the soap has been manu-
factured by the Los Angeles Soap
company
1t is alleged that the letters of
recommendation carried by McCauley
have been repudiated by those who
signed them, among whom were Ly-
man j. Gage of Chicago and p. M.
Green of Pasadena.

adduced yesterday was the scene of Z
thriving crap" game which was open
to all comers, and 1t was there that
/ George Washington Bellamy cried,
"Seven come eleven" and the little
dice obeyed.
At this point in the proceedings the
defendant called to the witness stand
Louis Gilpin, who gave his occupa-
tion as that of Jumper"
1t was the courts turn to become
perplexed, and Judge Smith begged
the young man to explain to him the
meaning of the word Jumper"
II ride Jumpers" declared the
midget from the race track.
what is that?" inquired the court.
"If you go out there you will see,
replied the witness, and the spectators
were thrown into convulsive laughter,
in which the court Joined.
"Jumper" Tells Story
Gilpin told the court about the
crap" game, and the court listened
attentively as the Jumper explained
what it meant to say up jumped the
devil" "little Joe" and other peculiar
expressions
The next witness to assist the cause
of the defense was Frederick Belamy
(not related to defendanD, diminu-
tive pickanniny, who gave his age as
10 years and his occupation as news
boy.
Judge Smith looked over his high
bench, but owing to the small pro-
portions of the youth who loomed up
under the bench it required several
minutes to locate him.
When the court took judicial notice
of the lad he appeared doubtful at
first as to his competency to take the
oath.
what would happen to you if you
should tell falsehood?" asked Judge
Smith, as he leaned over the bench.
After brief consideration of such
momentuous question, the dark spot
replied:
II would be sent to Whittier"
"Very good-swear the witness" said
Judge Smith to his clerk.
Little Frederick had "nosed' abouc
the crap game which led to the tenn
porary fall from grace by the defend
ant, and, in spite of his tender years,
the witness told his story in an in
telligent manner to the jury and he
was excused
The district attorney then made the
opening speech to the jury, in reply to
which George Washington Bellamy
distinguished himself as court orator.
The negro impressed the jury with
his interesting talk and they had
only one thing to do and that was to
acquit him.
