SUSPECTED OF ROBBING
BOARDING HOUSE ROOMS
Police Arrest Two Men on Charges of
Burglary Preferred by

Victim
Two men, giving their names as f
C. Standish and Ed Mcdonald, were
arrested yesterday by Detectives Steele
and Craig on charges of burglary. They
were taken to Justice Roses court
where their examination was set fol-
April 10.
In this arrest the detectives believe
they have pair Of boarding house rob-
bers. The men are charged with the
robbery of a boarding house at 24S
East Second street.
Several days ago, while the guests In
the house were away at work, two men
entered the place and ransacked the
rooms Clothing, shoes, jewelry and
trinkets of all kinds were taken by the
burglars who were so skillful at their
work that no one knew of their
presence in the house.
c. w. Chaffee was one of the chief
losers, and he swore to the complaint
against Standish and Mcdonald. George
Travis, Joe Downs, S. A. Schaeffer and
]. C. Feery were also victims.
Both OF the suspects deny all connec-
tion with the robbery and claim that
the stolen goods found in their posses
sion was given them by man whose
name they refuse to divulge.

Smiths Court
After a deliberation lasting one hour
a. jury yesterday in Judge Smiths de-
pertment Of the superior court found
irving Long guilty Of highway robbery,
as charged in the indictment fled
against him by the district attorney.
Long was convicted in connection
with the same charge lodged against
A. c. (f8uli) Williams, whose two days
trial, which was concluded last We'd
nesday, resulted in the disagreement
and subsequent discharge Of the jury.
James Friary. a travelling salesman.

ned that on March last he was held
up by four men, two Of them being
williams and Long.
Deputy District Attorney McComas

LOCAL EDUCATORS
OPPOSE GOTHAM IDEA
Think So.CaIIed "Fads and Drills"
Necessary in Training of
Children

The recent action of the board of
education of New York City in abol-
ishing the so-called fads and frills
from the course of study in the lower
grades, has called forth much discus
sion in educational circles, and promi-
nent educators in Los Angeles are in
clined to disagree with the opinions of
New Workers.
There Is such thing as having too
much of anything" said Superinten-
dent ]. A. Foshay yesterday. 1--WE
have manual training in the schools,
but we have 1t in moderation, and in
my opinion that is the way it should
be. If child has been studying read

w. j. Washburn. a member of the
board. who has been interested in
manuel training and who, with Charles
Davis. was influential in establishing
it in the city schools. spoke strongly
on the benefits to be derived from this
branch of study.
II am in favor. of making the school

he, land think that children should
be well formed on many lines AL
though we must never lose sight of
the necessity for considering the three

also give the child those things which,

Charles Casset Davis also considers
the "fads" essential to the full develop
ment of the child, and many proml-
nent club women and teachers testify
TO the success Of all the ventures along
this line which have been tried In Los
Angeles schools. Some go so far as
to say that a girl sent out without a
knowledge OF domestic science is poorly
equipped for life work.

Louis Schultz, alias Louis Schwartz
the nineteen -year-old boy burglar ar
rested Thursday night, will probably
furnish one Of the most interesting
cases that has been aired In local
criminal circles in many months.
Disclosures brought to light yester-
day by Captain Bradish of the detec-
tive department, aided by Detectives
Walsh and Mcnamara, prove that In
effecting the arrest of Schultz. or
Schwartz, the officers have accomplish
ed one of the most important captures
in local criminal annals, equal to that
of Kiniry, the desperate gentleman
burglar, who by his mixing qualities
and smooth manner was enabled to
plunder the homes of his friends at
will and plant his swag in safe de-
posit vault.

Find Many VaIuables

Yesterday the detectives first visited
the room of the prisoner in the Vic
toria lodging house, on South Spring
street. A careful search Of desk iii
the room brought to light secret
space at the rear, in which was found
a key to a box in local safe deposit
vault. The vault was visited without
delay. In the strong box was great
collection of gold and jewels, enough
in variety and value to amaze the de-
tectives, and they realized, they said,
that they had to deal with a thief who
had systematically p1undered every
house in Los Angeles he had been able
to enter.
Many boarding and rooming house
keepers called at the police station yes
terday and positively identified Schultz
as the young man who had been loaf
ing around their premises on days
when burglaries had been committed
in the rooms of guests. Detectives
Walsh and McNamara, who have been
warmly congratulated on their clever
ness In putting Schultz behind the
bars and promptly possessing them
selves of the stolen valuables, claim to
have complete chain of evidence
against the prisoner.

Return of the Home Team.

The home team went into the west
ern country holding the last place in
tho first division, and they have re-
turned in that position. They have
lost few points in percentage, but
that is not material in the first month
of the season. 1t is reported that the
batting strength of the team is to be
heightened, and when this is done and
when Harry Vaughan returns to first
base, there will be no reason why the
team will not continue to hold place
in the first division.
The rise of Montgomery and the
fall of Atlanta from first place to the
second division, were the chief fea-
lures of the western trip. New Or
leans and Shreveport seem to be as
secure at the top as Nashville and Lit
tie Rock are at the bottom. A lively
scramble is going on in the middle, the
contestants being Birmingham, Mem
phis, Atlanta and Montgomery. The
war among the four in the center will
go on holly and merrily during the
month that will be spent in the east
ern cities of the league. So far as pub
&c interest is concerned the race is
confined to the four teams centrally
placed today.
1t is not easy to forecast the places
that. the four will hold in the heat and
dust Of the conflict in the month to
come. The Birmingham infield needs
to be strengthened If Birmingham is
to hold its own, for every one of the
four will play the fastest ball it can
command in the crucial month. The
contest is among the four for two
places in the first division, the other
two having been pre-empted by New
Orleans and shreveport, and Little
Rock and Nashville are no longer in
the running

LAZY MAN AVOIDS HOLLAND.
New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
The man who is too lazy to work keeps
out of Holland IL he is wise, or makes
his escape as soon as he discovers that
there at least, means has been found
to make him work. When prisoner
or pauper refuses to work he is low
cred into a clsten, which Is provided with
pump at the bottom. A stream of
water is turned on and the idler is left
to his own devices. The capacity of the
pump is but slightly in excess of the
stream flowing into the tank and to
keep his head above water he must keep
pumping.
As a rule, he spends some little time
before he finds that the water is slowly
creeping upon him. He Is not urged to
go to work, but presently he takes his
place at the handle and begins the task.
BY working quickly he is able to clear
out the water after a short time, but
he has to keep at work If he wishes to
Keep dry feet. There have been occa-
sions when stubborn offender has re-
fused to pump and has quietly ioated
upon the water until fished out by the
Keeper, but this simply doubles his task,
and ne is not taken from the water
until he is able to keep afioat no longer.

From the New York American.
ssAYISTs and magazine writer's
M have repeatedly tried to exploit
~ the interesting details of every
day life in the homes of the -Four Hun
dred," but none of them has ever sue
ceeded in doing anything but show how
busy the butterflies of society are Kept
to maintain their establishments.
Here for the first time from the lips
of that leader of society herself is the
real story of how Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
lives. 1t is not a story secondhand, but
Mrs. Fish's own words, spoken under
oath in the city court yesterday when
she was a witness for the defense in an
action brought against her husband by
furrier for $1,000 for furs.
Mrs. Fish does not get up early In the
morning to slave at her desk or to plan
her magnificent entertainments. She new
or leaves her bed before 10 o'clock in the
morning.
This is only one of the popular fancies
she shattered while she was on the
stand.
Her husband does not give her prince
w allowance. She does not run up big
accounts at the fashionable shops of the
city and then have the bills sent to her
husband.
Mr.. Fish pays for nothing she orders
unless it is an article for their home.
Mrs. Fish, in her own right. Is very
rich. She has a distinct understanding
with Mr.. Fish that her personal accounts
shall be paid out of her own income.
Their home management is carried on
In such business-lke basis that II Mrs
Fish should happen to want diamond
brooch she would not, as the public has
been led to believe, simply ask her jew
elers to send it to him and then have
him bring 1t home to her. According to
her testimony. she would not even con-
suit him about one of her purchases. She
would simply get it. pay for 1t herself
and he might not know she had 1t unless
he happened to hear her talk about it.
Hundreds of thousands of women who
have read of Mrs Fish's lavish recep-
tions. her social conquests and her beau
tiful gowns and jewels have sighed and
wished for a husband as rich as Mr..
Fish. They have told themselves of how.
like Mr. Fish. the husband of their day
dreams would write a nice, large check
every few days and present it to them
with a kiss.
Mr.. Fish doesn't do anything like that.
He told the court yesterday that Mrs.
Fish had her own money by inheritance,
and that he confined himself strictly to
paving the household expenses.
But on Christmas and some holidays
he gives her presents. experimenting her
income. He didn't tell just what the
presents were.

Governor Douglas Retirement.

Massachusetts elects a governor
every year. She has done so ever
since she was a state. 1t therefore had
become necessary in Governor Doug
las to say whether he would again ac-
cept a nomination. He accepted the
nomination last year because he
thought he would in presidential
year, In Massachusetts, be defeated.
He was elected, but he declines to
give up his business and home life to
run again.
"This decision says the independ-
ent Springfield Republican, sis much
to be regretted-more than ever in
view of the very recent demonstration
given by Governor Douglas, in his leg
islative vetoes, of great courage in the
performance of his official duties, sin
cere devotion to the general public in
terest, and an enlightened understand
ing of the requirements of a conserva-
lively progressive public policy" The
Republican is not democratic paper,
and Governor Douglas is democratic
statesman.
Few one-term governors in any state
will have left SO favorable an impress
sion upon the people, and it is believed
he could be reelected while no other
democrat could be. His letter declin-
Ing denomination is positive, and the
democrats of Massachusetts know they
must look for another candidate. No
one is rejoicing over it except the ma
chine republicans, who had feared they
would have to face William l.. Doug
las at the polls next fall.

police and fire department wires, plae-
ing new refuse cans at street cross
ings and erecting drinking fountains.
The people followed suit by cleaning
their yards, trimming their lawns,
clearing out weeds, refuse and rub
bish of all kinds, painting their houses,
setting out flowers and improving their
homes in many other ways.
Mayor Speer issued an official proc
lamation to the people in which he
gave suggestions for making Denver
real CITY Beautiful" He reminded
them that it is only by cooperation
that the results he hopes for can be
achieved, and he told the people just
what they ought TO do in order to
beautify their city.
Now, there is no reason why Biz
mingham should not have an annual
cleanup" day. Mayor Ward is in
favor of a campaign of education in
this direction and would no doubt en-
ter heartily into plan to set aside
one day in each year when every man,
woman and child in Birmingham can
unite in combating filth and ugliness.
The sanitary improvements result
Ing from this concerted movement
would be equaled by the aesthetic
benefits derived We would not only
make our city vastly cleaner, but
much more pleasing to the eye.
1t is to be hoped that Mayor Ward
will set the wheels In motion and ap-
point a cleanup" day for Birming-
ham. A local crusade for cleanliness
cannot be started too soon.

SIDELIGHTS ON LIFE
OF A SOCIETY LEADER

Just as there are revelations in the
testimony of Mrs. and Mr.. Fish for the
women of the city, there are revelations
for the men who can only dream about
great riches. They have told themselves
about how much worry it must be to
have wifes great luxuries told at length
in an expense account. They have said it
must be difficult to get wife like Mrs.
Fish to tell what she has done with her
money.
Mr.. Fish never bothers to ask his wife
what she has done. That's her own busi-
ness.
While the thoughtless lawyers in the
case prodded the Fishes into telling about
the management of their home, they also
learned great deal about the personal
affairs of the witnesses.
Mr.. Fish has an income which, after
everything Is paid for, nets him $4,000 a
year. and he draws money from nearly
dozen different corporations. He does not
consider his magnificent house at 20 East
Seventy eighth street his residence He
merely owns the house and lives there
part of the time.
Mrs Fish is very fond of perfumes. She
has brand she is very proud of, and
uses 1t on her furs to give them the
proper odor. Mrs F'ish's memory, appar-
emily Is not of the best When she was
asked if Mr.. Fish was her husband she
said she thought So"
The suit against her was brought by A.
jacket, who made up some furs for her
in January and began trying to collect
his $1,000 the following month. The jury
had scarcely left the box, when it re-
turned and rendered a verdict for Jaec-
KEEL for the full amount of his claim.
Among the attorneys arrayed on the Fish
side of the case was James 3. Dill, the
noted corporation lawyer.
