TO HOLD BOND
ELECTION TO-DAY
ITEM OF $7s0,000 TO BE
VOTED ON
Money to Be Applied In New Build
lnes and improvements for the
Los Angeles Public
Schools

The voters Of Los Angeles will be
question Of a special bond issue for
needed Improvements in the public
schools. Voting will commence at s
o'clock and continue until sundown.
1t has been suggested by the COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
needs of the schools that the lowest
figure at which the work can be car
ried on and the improvements made is
$7s0.000. The citizens are advised to
vote bonds amounting to this sum.
Members of the school board feel
confident that enough interest is being
manifested to carry the issue, at least
as far as the amounts suggested for
the general schools are concerned. A
few of the members doubt whether the
high school appropriations will be
made, but they contend that these are
the most important of all.
Nature Of Improvements
The proposed issue contains an item
of $260,OOO for high schools. OF this
$4,000 is to be used in purchasing addi-
tional grounds and erecting science
building for the high school. One hun
dred thousand dollars will be used in
equipping the new Polytechnic high
school building and 500, 900 will be spent
for the purchase of additional high
school grounds.
Superintendent Foshay says that un-
less the amount needed for equipping
the polytechnic building is Forthcoming
the structure now being erected on
Washington street will be useless.
In recommending the sum named the
committee has made allowance for the
construction and equipment of new
buildings, the purchase of additional
grounds and additions to buildings al
ready in use.

CURTISS ASKS AID
Kenosha Co. AssembIyman Sends
Cards to Constituents Ask
ing for Suggestions.
MANY SUGGESTIONS READY.

Assemblyman Walker M. Curtiss of
Trevor, has introduced a new idea
into the work of member of the as
semb1y and this morning constitu-
ents of the assemblyman in all parts
Of the county received neatly printed
cards from him asking their opinion
on various matters that are to come
up before the legislature and sugges-
tons for legislation. These cards
have been sent>out to Democrats and
Republicans alike and it is evident
from their tenure that the assembly
man is anxious to learn something of
the desires of the people whom he is
representing in the state Legislature.
This is the first time. that such plan
has been adopted by an assemb1yman
from this county. The cards have
fallen in good hands in many in
stances and Assemb1ynan Curtis will
receive any number of suggestions
for legislation. In the first place he
has already received a communica-
ton asking that he take some steps to
have the assembly devise a plan for
the completion of Sheridan Drive.
This matter has been brought to the
assemblyman in both the form of a
petition and protest and he will
probably have chance to give def
mite answer to both sides before the
end of the present session.
Again the Social Democrats in Ke-
nosha will take this chance to urge
the assemblyman to give his support
to bills that have been introduced to
do away with the defense of soon
tributary negligence" in suits for
damages for personal injuries.
1t is just possible that some real
facetious Sta1wart will send a COM
munication to the assemblyman re-
questing that he vote for the return
of Senator Quar1es, but it is hardly
possible that this will fall on ears
that hear. Assemb1yman Curtis has
made quiet entrance into Madison
and is firmly established as one Of the
most loyal supporters of the admins
tration forces.

FINDS MEANEST Man
Charles Fischer Feasted While
His Wife and Children
Go Hungry.
is HELD TO COUNTY COURT
Charged With Non-Support, Charles
Fischer is Sent to Jail Till He
Furnishes Bond for $500.
He is a Bad Actor.

Chief of Police Reino1d declares
that he has found "the meanest man.
and he has bestowed this title on
Charles Fischer, who is now confined
in the county Jail awaiting trial in
the county court on charge of nom
support. His wife was the complain
| ing witness, and he was bound over
to the county court Wednesday after
noon by Justice B. 0. Sturges. Bond
was fixed at $500, and Fischer being
unable to furnish it went to jail until
such time as the case can be taken
up by Judge S1osson.
Fischer has been in the hands of the
police before on a similar charge,
and his wife and children have led
quite troubled existence on account
of his unwi1lingness to support them.
Some time ago Mrs. Fischer and the
children were sent to the Northern
part Of the state, and the chief re-
ceived a letter that the woman and
her little ones were starving. He
went to Fischer and forced him to
have them sent back to Kenosha.
In court Wednesday the woman told
a most remarkable story, and on this
story was based the decision that
Fischer had the right to the title of
tthe meanest man" The story was
supported by the silent testimony Of
two little boys, neither over eleven
years of age, whose pinched and wea-
zened faces told story of suffering
more eloquent than that told by the
woman.
It appears that Fischer has been
earning good pay in one of the fdcto-
ries of the city, but some time ago he
laid down the law that the woman
must get out and work for food for
herself and children. Mrs. Fischer
is frai1 woman and it was impos-
sib1e for her to do this.
On Tuesday evening, according to
the testimony of Mrs. Fischer, her
husband returned to his home and
found her and the children starving.
He brought with him meat and other
provisions, which he carried to an
upper room of the house and cooked
for himself sumptuous supper. He
ate all he desired ard kept the re-
mainder of his food for the morning
meal. Neither the wife nor the little
boys were allowed any portion of it.
To cap The climax Mrs. Fischer stated
that the husband told her he would
kill her if she dared "squea1' on what
he had done.
Notwithstanding this threat, Mrs.
Fischer reported the matter to the po-
lice, and as result Fischer will have
to pay the penalty of his crime and
cruelty.
