CHILD MAKES OFFICER GROW
TENDER-HEARTED
Little One Pleads for Pardon Of Man
Wanted by Society for the Pre-
ventlon Of Cruelty to
Animals

please. sir tant my papa tum home?
Deres muffin to eat and mammals cry
ing"
The voice was a shrill tiny treble and
it sounded unusually pathetic to one Of
the officers of the Society for Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals yesterday
as he turned from porting over num-
Der of complaints registered SATURDAY
afternoon.
BY the side Of the desk and just able
to peep over the edge was the flushed
and excited face of a golden haired
youngster, and for a moment the officer
was startled at the tiny apparition.
But as there came the sound Of two
little shoes shutting somewhere on the
other side Of the desk the officer took
courage and began to think that 1T
might be child after all.
"Who are you and what do you
want?" uueried the officer, and the
great blue eyes Of the child opened wide
with surprise as he answered.: I'm
Alexander, and my papa is 'fraid to
tum home till he finks he won't be
rested"
Lad Grows Confidential
"Yu see, papa drives a big horsie,"
continued the lad, growing chummy,
IAN dc horsie dot sick and den de
mans looked de horsie away and papa
'fraid to tum home"
Then the officer began to remember a
few things. He hurriedly took down a
file and found the following memoran-
dunn:
"Mistreating horse-Petro Patrovsky,
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-12
FATHER Is SAVED FROM ARREST
BY INTERCESSION OF HIS BABY BOY

45e Ducommun street. Repeated mis-
treatment Of bay"
Patrovsky was warned several months
ago to take better care Of his horses.
The accused was a peddler and drove
his horse and a rented animal to a
dilapidated wagon.
The horse first came to the notice OF
the humane officers several months ago
when It was put up for auction. At
that time the officers made an examin-
alton and asserted that the animal was
fit candidate for the boneyard.
The bidding started well at %, rose
rapidly to 30 cents, and the animal was
Finally sold to ratrovsky, who came in
late. for So.
Horse Goes. to Sleep
with Joy in his heart, the Russian
hltched the steed to his dllapidated
chariot and started to drive homeward.
He had proceeded about ten feet when
suddenly the horse began to sneeze.
This was followed by spell of hlc-
coughs. and then the animal began to
go to sleep.
Words, beatings and cajolery failed.
and 1t was not until Patrovsky got
down from the wagon and oiled the
animals rusty hinges that the mighty
Steed consented TO proceed.
Five weeks ago the peddler was or
dered to give the animal a three
months vacation on full pay The old
plug was allowed to enjoy himself for
several days and then Patrovsky de-
cided that the horse had had enough
rest, and the animal went back to
work.
Last week the officers Of the s. P.
G. A. again detected the steed dashing
down the street like a piece Of sticking
plaster, and "Caterpillas," for such
was the horses name, was again or
dered on the sick list.
Patrovsky escaped, and since then,
according to the statements Of his wife
and babies. he has been afraid to re-
turn to his home for fear of arrest.
When the humane officer had heard
the babys plea yesterday he gave the
youngster note, granting pardon to
the father and last night there was a
reunion at the Patrovsky residence in
which Alexander was the guest of
honor

TRUAN7S TELL
A FAIRY TALE
YOUTHS HAD WARM BEDS BUT
PREFERRED BARN
Waits From ChlIdren's Home Society
Awaken Sympathy by ImasIna-
tive Story That Older
Lad Told

Charles Hill and Arthur Wilson, who
told a pitiful tale to the police Satur-
day night about losing their mother
claimed to be furnishing for food,
turned out yesterday to be two
naughty little boys who had run away
from the kindly care of Rev. o. v. Rice,
superintendent of the Childrens Home
society at East Twenty-fifth street and
Griffith avenue.
For playing truant from school both
boys had been punished Friday by the
principal and they decided to run away
and see what the world had in store
for them.
That night they had no warm bed
to creep into and so they went into a
barn on Ferndale avenue, and Satur-
day morning Joseph Bine found them
there, took them into the house for a
meal and finally turned them over to
the police.
Said They We're Lost
The boys whimpered out a pitiful
story of losing their way home and
said that their father was in Bakers
field and their mother had become sep
arated from them while she was shop
ping.
After hearing their story Special
officer Fred Schumacher took the boys
to the detention home, where they re-
NAMED Saturday night.
They gave the name of Wilson and
got a lot of sympathy from the matron,
who tucked them up in bed and cried
over the homeless wanderers.
Yesterday the pretty little story was
% Il hrfo ton 90 hn al
boy, Charles Hill, and his little accom-
plice cried bitterly when confronted
with the truth. .
'"It warnt my fault" he said.
Charlie thought 1t would be a lot of
fun to be out SEEM things and he
fixed up the story. I am very sorry"
The little fellow, who is only years
old, was sent back to the home on
East Twenty fifth street, while the
older boy was kept at the detention
home until his case can be disposed Of.
Orphans Well Cared For
Neither of the boys have parents liv-
ing and they have been well cared for
by the Nkind-hearted Officers Of the
Children's Home society.
'T am very sorry that this has been
made public" said Rev. o. V. Rice
the superintendent. Both boys are
good little fellows and I should not
like anythong to come out that would
hurt them in securing homes with some
good family who wish to take in a
boy.
''Their teacher reproved them for
playing truant and then both got the
idea that 1t would be a fine thing to
run away. dare say they were pretty
miserable Friday night sleeping in the
barn.
1T shall take good care of Arthur.
He is very young and was influenced
by the older one.
Both are good little chaps, however
and they did 1t in spirit common to
many other boys"
The fertile Imagination of the Hill
boy was astonishing and everyone who
heard his story placed credence in 1t
until the real facts came out.
The police say that a good spanking
would perhaps have a salutary effect,
and perhaps the remedy has been tried.

The Great Baldwin

Intelligent amusement patrons who
have kept in touch with the best en-
tertainers of recent years will have
pleasant memories of the Marvellous
Baldwins The White Mahatmas-who
few seasons ago caused no end Of
bewilderment and discussion by their
delightful way of presenting startling
examples OF mind reading or tele-
pathy in nearly all the principal
theatres of this continent. They drew
enormous audiences and seemed to
be on the top wave of success when
they suddenly disappeared-ru rumor
says they went back into the Orient,
to Northern India, Cashmere and
Thibet to study among the abnormal
wonder workers of these strange
places, the latest developments in
Oriental mystery. However, they
are back with us again with an
equipment of wonders that are even
more startling than the seances of
their last visit. They will visit this
this city for four nights, commencing
Tuesday next. Matinee for ladies only
on Thursday. at the Colonial Theatre.

MOVING PICTURES
Biograph Company Gave a Good
Show at The Colonial.

The audience which scattered itself
about in the Colonial Theatre last
night seemed TO be a knowing pic
turer one, and manifested its apprecia-
tion of the exhibition of the Biograph
Company by hearty applause. While
some of the pictures had been seen
here before, they were as a whole new
and remarkably clear and free from
"ilickering.
The selection of subjects was hu-
morous last night and seemed TO ap-
peal TO the ticklish spots of nearly
every member of the audience. The
trip through the streets of San Fran
cisco on a trolley car, principally
down Market street to the ferry houses
which sheltered so many of the earth
quake and fire refugees. was so rca-
listic as TO be almost as enjoyable as
an automobile run 10 the Three-M Mile
Oak. A feature of the entertainment
which was applauded by the audience
as the illustrated songs.
The featuring of George Cohan's new
song you're Grand Cd Rag
was great success. A very effective
appeal was made to the sentiment of
those present when on the line Should
Old Acquaintance BE Forgot pic
ture of the late President Mckinley,
thrown on the screen to be hailed with
a perfect storm of applause. On the
next chorus, however, the audience
was torn in twain by the appearance
of McKinley's successor, and Mr..
Roosevelt's welcome was rather di-
vided.
The company Will repeat its per-
Torrance tonight, and deserves a lib
eral patronage from those who enjoy
this style of entertainment.

MANY BARREN BOTTOMS.
Found Survey In Anne Arundel
Waters.

1t is estimated when the Shclliish
Commission has completed its survey
OF the waters of Anne Arundel county
south Of the Magothy river there Will
be slightly over one hundred acres of
barren bottoms than natural bars.
While the Commission has not yet
acted on the definition Of barren bot
toms and natural rocks, the opinion
of prominent oysterman, who knows
well the location of the beds surveyed
as natural bars and their approximate
area, is that the relative figures in
the localities already surveyed arc
approximately l3, 224 acres OF natural
bars, or beds, TO IL, 7lS OF barren bot
toms.
In the opinion of this same gentle-
man, who Is practical oysterman,
having tonged over the area, the a.,
7iS acres OF barren bottoms outside
the natural bars Will make good and
productive planting grounds. The cs-
timated barren bottoms outside the
surveyed natural beds are distributed
about as follows:
In the upper severn river, ?, 2SS acres
Lower severn river, 1854 acres.
South river, ] ,994 acres.
Rhode and West rivers, 1884
acres.

MIDOIES' LINE SHIFTED.
Gloomy Prospects For TOmOrrow's
Game With Penn State.

In yesterday afternoon football
practice at the Naval Academy the
line was shifted until hardly a posi-
tion was occupied by its regular play
er. Richardson, who has been play
ing at full. WAS put at right end hut
used back of the line occasionally, and
Boynton replaced nague at tho other
end.
Piorsol was not able To get in Tho
game and Magruder was laid off, the
tackles being filled by Leighton and
simpson. Shafroth was shifted To
left guard and Wright and Myers were
tried at right. Slinglun remained at
enter. During about twenty-five min
utes of hard football only one touch
down was scored ON the scrubs.
Prospects are not at all good at the
Naval Academy FOR victory over
Pennsylvania State College. Both
the line and the back field have been
shifted so much lately that il has
told on the team work, and several
of the best men are not in good con-
dition physically. Quarterback Nor
ton. who has had light attack of
appendicitis. was out OF the hospital
yesterday, but neither he nor Douglass,
who started in the game this week,
are in physical condition to stand the
game.
Captain spencer has been ON the
field in football clothes for several
days, but his knee Is still in such CON
dition that he would not do himself
justice IL he should go in tomorrow's $
game, and might receive a fresh injury
which would put him out of the game
for the season. still, the back field,
with Inrgam and Burg at the halves
and Northcroft at full, is fairly
strong aggregation.

A UNIQUE APPARATUS.
Practical Training On Academy
Foot Ball Field.

The Naval Academy authorities have
devised a very unique and practical
apparatus for training the candidates
for the baekfeld in getting the ball
and hitting the line at the point in
dicafed by the signal and at the same
time going ahead with all possible
force. In practice the work is very
amusing but at the same time ii ac-
complishes its objects in a very satis-
factory manner
II consists Of two stout canvass bands
about four inches wide which are
held at q distance OF about foot
apart by being attached 10 stout rod
at each end Two bands Of the same
kind connect the two other bands near
the center leaving a hole about one
foot square. The wooden rods are
held by person at each end. who
keep the bands stretched and about
three feet from the ground. The two
holders stand on the line with the
player who snaps the ball back.
The quarterback receives the ball
and passes il TO the back and the back
runs so as to put his head through
the square opening and engage his
shoulders upon the two bands which
connect the longer bands. In this way
the back is trained to get the ball and
AT the same time strike his opening
accurately. When his shoulders are
held by the bands the effort to keep
going while held by the. persons hav-
ing the ends is fine practice 20 develop
the ability TO keep going so necessary
in a line plunging back.
The apparatus was tried for the first
time yesterday afternoon and the backs
who pushed against the canvas bands
were Douglass, Ingram, Northcroft,
Ewing, Brandt and Burg.
