UP LAD TO POLICE
YOUTH ACCUSED OF STEALING
A BANK
Thirteen-Year-OId Hugh Brown, Who
Confessed That Pals Bound
and Gagged Him, Again
in Trouble

Hugh Brown, 13 years old, was
taken to the city Jail by his brother,
William Brown, and is now being held
at the detention home on the charge of
robbing the home of Leo Chillis, 942
Cottage place, last Friday. Through
the older brother, Patrolman Maran-
vile secured evidence which he believes
will send the lad to the reform school
for several years.
Hugh has figured in police circles be-
fore. Detectives Jones and Mcnamara
on October 81 were sent out on West
First street, post haste, to investigate
a strange hold-up of lad. When they
arrived the officers found young
Browns appearance indicated rough
handling.
To the officers the boy told the story
that a woman had sent him out with a
sum of money to pay bill and that
he was suddenly attacked. robbed,
bound and gagged and left in the road
AS the officers were skeptical about
the boys story an investigation was
made. 1t was learned that Brown had
been found tied and gagged. The man
who had discovered the lad had freed
him.
A search of the boys clothing was
made by the officer but no money was

some trick they could not disregard the
statement of the man who found the
boy with his hands and feet tied.
Detective Jones took Brown to one
side and told him that he was sure
that there was something wrong about
the story. This was vehemently denied
by the boy.
Boy Confesoes to Police
Much time was spent in arguing the
matter and at last Brown confessed to
have arranged with two other lads to
bind and gag him, and produced the
money, which was hid in his shoe.
William Brown, together with his
brother Hugh visited the Chillis home
Sunday evening, October 8. Dur
ing the evening Chillls took S31 from
his pocket and placed 1t in small iron
bank
In the little savings bank was Sal,
$40 having been previously placed there.
A few days ago Chillis went to get the
savings bank to take the money out
and deposit 1t, but the bank was not
there. The officers We're informed and
after several days spent in investigat-
ing it was found that a clew to the
money was to be found with young
Brown.
The day that Brown is suspected of
robbing the savings bank he asked
young woman residing at his home to
keep 81 for him. The young woman
refused and told him to give it to his
mother. 1t now develops that Brown
did not give the money to his mother
but hid it.
Hugh Browns elder brother ac-
cused him OF it, and as a result took
him to the central police station last
evening and turned him over to the

fcers that young Brown sneaked into
the Chillis house, stole the bank and
took the money out.
Measures will be taken to send the
boy to the state school.

PASADENA, Nov. 13.-Shall the city
parks be thrown open to Sunday band
concerts? This is the question which
Is agltating the city commissioners to-
day and it will not be settled for two
weeks. Meanwhile It Is UP to the in
terested citizen to express his ideas
upon the innocent looking proposition.
The Crown City has a good brass band
and 1t has been giving open air con-
certs on Colorado street every Satur-
day evening for some months, not
withstanding the increasingly cool
evenings. Saturday night came the
final concert. Some time ago the sug-
gestion was made by friends Of the band
that regular Sunday afternoon concerts
In one of the city parks would just suit
the band and would undoubtedly have a
soothing effect upon the music loving
public. Mayor Waterhouse was ap-
preached upon the subject but his an
swer was non-committal Now that the
evening concerts are over the subject
has come up again in more formal
manner.
Attorney G. M. Simpson, representing
the band organization, appeared before
the city commissioners, Of which his
honor the mayor and Robert j. Bur
dette are important members, and asked
permission to give Sunday afternoon
concerts in the parks. He told the
commissioners that such permission
would be very gratifying to the labor
ing men of the community who flock
every Sunday to Los Angeles in order
to hear the band concerts there and
that most of these people would much
prefer to stay at home and visit our

LITTLE RUBY FREEMAN
WILL GET $4,000 REQUEST
POLICE FIND GIRL TO WHOM THE
MONEY is TO BE PAID
Teacher in South Grand Avenue School
Startled by Answer of Child Who
Declares She Is Beneficiary Of an
Insurance Policy

Ruby Freeman, a 12-year-old school
girl of Los Angeles who was made the
beneficiary in a $4,000 insurance policy
carried by her father, G. e. Freeman.
who died in Salisbury, Mo-, about two
months ago, was found yesterday by
the police. AS was suggested by The
Herald last Sunday, she was found
under different name, that of Ruby
Trostle, the name of the man whom her
mother married soon after coming to
this city, when Ruby was years old
When H. NJ. Trostle and Ruby's
mother read in the newspapers that the
police were looking for Ruby Freeman
they communicated with Chief of Police
Aube. Then they informed little blue
eyed Ruby that her real name was
Ruby Freeman, but that she was to say
nothing about it unless the teacher
questioned the members of her class.
Chief Auble notified all of the school
principals of the city and they in turn
instructed the teachers to look out for
the girl.
When school opened yesterday morn
ing in the Grand avenue school Miss
Cox, teacher of the seventh grade, an
nounced to her class that the police
were looking for a girl named Ruby
Freeman. II know she isn't here, but
If any of you children hear of a girl
named Ruby Fireman."

told me so this morning, but said

the teacher asked" spoke up little
Ruby.
For a few minutes excitement ran
high in the school room. The pupils
were allowed to congra tulate the little
heiress, after which the recitations were
resumed.
The knowledge of the fortune await
ing Ruby came through a letter to the
police from Ruby's aunt, Mrs. l.. 0.

New Head Chosen for County Hospital
Prospects for New Electric Are
5rlahter-councll Fixes
Lighting Rates

Special to The Herald
SAN BERNARDINo, Nov. 1s.-The
county hospital muddle was partially
Strengthened out today by the board
of supervisors by the election of DR..
ID. G. Strong of Redlands as medical
superintendent of the institution to
succeed Drs. Meyer and Kellogg, who
had been successfully relieved of duty.
DR.. Strong will at once take charge of
the hospital and relieve DR.. J. w.
Aldridge, who had been temporarily
In charge as county health officer.
Before electing the new superintend-
ent today the board discharged DR.. T.
M. Kellogg of Chino, who had been
elected to succeed DR.. Meyer, who was
ousted last week.
The new superintendent stands well
as physician in the foothill city and
1t is believed will place the county
hospital on a good footing.
Believe Line Will Be Built
People along the route of the pro-
posed electric line from Redlands
through the Moreno valley to San
Jacirito and on to Hemet are becom-
ing enthusiastic in the belief that the
line will be built. They have interest
ed w. F. Whittier of San Francisco,
K. j. Waters of Los Angeles, besides
number of the wealthy Redlands
residents in the proposition and it is
believed that within a short time a
definite announcement will be forth
coming as to the proposed line.
The proposed line would tap a coun-
try that is naturally rich in resources
and greatly aid in it's development
1t would give an outlet for a district
that now has but little in the way of
railroad facilities. At Redlands the
line would have direct connection with
the lines of the San Bernardino Valley
Traction for this city, which is rapidly
becoming the commercial center of the
inland country of Southern California
Fix Lighting Rates
The question of rates for electric
lights and gas in this city during the
coming year is being considered by
the city council, and the result will
probably be the fixing of rates at
about the same figure as at present.
In it's report to the city council the
San Bernardino Gas and Electric COM
pany makes the startling statement
that 1t lost more than $50, 900 on it's
business of the past year. In investi-
eating this report the council will en-
deavor to get at the bottom of condi-
tions, the belief being that the COM
pany really made a good profit. The
showing of a loss is believed to have
been arrived at by figuring into it's
expenses the money expended in ex-
tensions and Improvements.

and ran away. DR.. Malaby saw the
occurrence and followed on his own
just as 1t bucked it's rider. Thanks to

A bond election has been called by

Cannon Again Named Warden.

The news of the reappointment Of
Capt. NJ. H. Cannon as warden Of the
Bruchy Mountain branch of the state
penitentiary at Petros, by Gov. John
l, Cox. will be received with great
pleasure by the fciends of the warden
in this city. The appointment was
made late Saturday, while the warden
was in Nashville, where he had been
summoned by the governor.
This week he is going with the gov
erner and others over the coal lands in
Morgan and adjoining counties which
it is proposed to purchase for the use
Of tbs state.
Warden Cannon has held the pres
ent position two years, having been
appointed by Hon. J. B. Frazier when
he was governor. He was appointed
when there was bittsr fight on for the
position, and coming to him as it did,
was regarded as q great compliment.
1t was on his record made at the state
mines during the past two years that
he was reappointed, and this, too, can
be regarded as q great compliment.
Capt. Cannon has been state warden
at intervals for twelve years and when
he completes his present term he will
have served the state fourteen years in
charge or prisoners. He was warden
at Coal Creek during the trouble there
with the miners add the state authori-
ties, and was the only man who did
not have prisoners released or prisons
destroyed. Since he has been at Pc
tros, he has reduced the punishment
nearly half, and the amount of punish
ment two thirds of what it formerly
was, at the same time increasing the
task.
Capt. Cannon was at the time of
his appointment, a resident of johnson
City. He later removed to this city,
where he has since made his home.
In the management of the prisoners
at the mines, Capt. Cannon has in
troduced q number of new methods.
and has thus inaugurated new plans,
with the result that he has had remark
able success. He is one of the best
known citizens of East Tennessee. -
