THIEVES ROB AGED TOURIST
New York Man Reports to Police Loss
of $40 and Check for
$1,000

Trembling with excitement and fear,
an aged man giving his name as John
B. Barrett of New York appeared at
the police station at an early hour
yesterday morning and said that he
had been swindled out of $40 cash and
1000 in checks.
Barrett was so excited he could
scarcely tell his story. On the way
to Los Angeles from Salt Lake City
he was robbed by newsboy of the
cash. Later, he became aquainted
with two men who induced him to
sign his name to paper which proved
to be a check.
1t is now feared that the bunco men
will raise the check to $4,000. Barrett
assures the police that his check for
that amount would be honored by
banks in the American metropolis
Barrett would not have called upon
the police had it not been for a
strange incident.
AS soon as he arrived in Los An
geles he went to rooming house at
ITO South Main street. Last evening
he was called from his room by a
strange man who used his name. The
police will investigate the case thor
oughly.

INDIANS SHOWING
disappointment
CONSIDERED OUT OF RACE FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP
Berkeley Stock Is Soaring and Local
Enthusiasts VIII Back Blue
and Gold Against
Cardinal

The most active week in Los Angeles
football circles came to a close with the
defeat of the Sherman Indians by Berk-
eley Saturday at Fiesta park.
The downfall of Hempels braves fur
nished the second surprise of the sea-
son, and two championship possibilities,
Sherman for state honors and st. Vim
cents for the collegiate prize, have
been eradicated from the list of those
who are yet to contend with a hope
of winning the highest laurels.
Although the play of the Berkeley
team was machine-like and steady, the
pace was slow. There was little vari-
alton in forwarding the ball and
straight and cross bucks rendered in
monotonous regularity made the con-
test drag. Snedigar got away between
the tackle and end in nearly all of his
runs, the Indian ends being blocked
out.
Sperry's hurdling became effective
more because the Indians played, #
anything, a trifle too slow than from
the work of his own line. Added to
this, the Sherman defense showed weak
and was not able to back their for
wards with any degree of success, al
lowing Sperry to make a good five or
six yards after he hurdled the line.
1t is difficult to figure how the style of
play should gain much ground against
a team with the backs that Stanford
has.
At ell events, the coming of the
Cardinal eleven will give some sort
of line on the respective merits of
the two northern teams.
Southern Championship
The southern championship has prac-
tically centered to three teams, those
of Pomona, U. S. C. and Occidental.
When Holmes took hold of his ma
terial at the beginning of the season
he had an unlikely looking crowd, and
the prospect appeared rather doubtful
for the university men. At the present,
Holmes is expressing himself as conf
dent that his men will easily capture
the championship of the south and has
hopes of making the strongest kind of
a stand against Stanford.
In the games played so far, a really
strong team has not been sent against
the south end men and a comparison
with the other colleges Is out of the
question until the first game with
representative team. Holmes developed
good team last year out of not over
promising material, and may repeat,
The university coach is in receipt
of a letter from Decoto of the Berlk-
eley team, agreeing to give the uni
versity eleven three hundred dollars as
expenses for a northern trip. Decoto
has now thrown Holmes over and says
no game, The u. S. C. coach, although
able to take the money in default of
the game, states that he will let the
matter drop.
Stanford agreed to the same arrange
ment and U. s. c. and the Cardinals
will meet on the Palo Alto girdiron.
The high school-university game has
been called off, as Holmes does not
like fifteen-minute halves, and the high
school will not stand for a longer game

SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE
SCARCE AT SAN DIEGO
TWO CAUSES ARE ASSIGNED FOR
PHENOMENON
County Superintendent Attributes Diff
flcuIty in Getting Instructors to
Usurpation by State Board of Edu-
cation of Rights of County Board

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO. Oct. 22.-There is a
scarcity of teachers in San Diego
county, and County Superintendent
Baldwin states that a number of school
districts have been compelled to delay
the opening of school for weeks and
months, because of the lack of teachers.
He holds that the great cause of the
lack of teachers in this state is the
usurpation by the state board of edu-
cation, through gradual legislative en-
actments of the constitutional rights
of the county boards and the gradual
monopoly of the certifcation of teach
ers by the state board. President
Black of the Normal school, who is a
member of the state board, says that
the scarcity of teachers is due to the
fact that three of the normal schools
of the state insist that their pupils
shall come only from graduates of high
schools and will not accept graduates
from grammar schools even after ex-
animation.

Georgia, was seriously injured by being

Plans for New Hotel
Architect Harrison Albright Of Los
Angeles, who has been preparing plans
and specifications for the u. S. Grant
hotel, which will occupy the site of the
Horton house which was recently torn
down, has arrived with the plans. He
will confer with Mr.. Grant regarding
the construction. Two sets of plans
are under consideration, one of which
contemplates a square building of the
usual form with an inner court and
covering the site, 200X200 and extending
from Third to Fourth on D street. The
other plan is characterized as monu-
mental in form. The first floor and
basement are square, filling the entire
space, but the upper stories are some
what in the shape of a cross of St.
Andrew. The plans propose six and
seven stories. The building will be Of
reinforced concrete which is now being
used quite largely in building struc-
lures at Los Angeles as well as in
the east.
President Akerman Of the Chamber of
commerce has received a letter from
the Riverside chamber thanking the
local organization for the action taken
relative to the state citrus experiment
and pathological station.
A petition is circulated about the
court house asking the board of super
visors to install an elevator in the
building.
