Evidence Is Obtained They VIII
Be Taken Into Court

]. M. Eshleman, the deputy state
commissioner of labor, and Prosecuting
Attorney Bebee are probing all cases
Of firms employing children under the
legal age or violating the child labor
laws in any manner.
Complaints We're filed yesterday
against Meyer & Siegel for employing
children under the age prescribed by
the labor law. Another complaint was
sworn to charging the firm with EN-
ploying lad over nine hours. B. Ros-
ELI was charged in a complaint with
employing a lad in the Los Angeles
market who is under the lawful age.
Other cases will be prosecuted. The
attorneys are now investigating a case
against another firm. They state that
numerous other concerns are employ
ing children under the age prescribed
by law and many are causing children
to work more than nine hours.
The attorneys say, however, that no
action will be taken in cases unless
they can secure positive proof.
Many complaints may be filed today.
1t is understood that information is
in the hands of the prosecutors which
only needs verification to prove con-
clusively that numerous firms in the
city are violating the law
In fact it is authenticity rumored
that many of the large business firms
of Los Angeles have laid themselves
liable to prosecution.

BABES PRESENCE SAVES HIM
Judge Rose Chances at Prisoners Wife
and Children and Suspends
Ninety-Day Sentence

Because three little children were
dependent upon him for support, S. S,
Ellis has escaped a term of ninety
days on the chain gang.
Ellis was arrested on the charge of
failing to provide for his family and
was tried before the police judge. He
was before the court yesterday for
sentence.
In the court room sat his wife and
with her were three little children,
two, five and seven years of age, re-
spectively. The sight of the little ones
appealed to Prosecuting Attorney Be
bee and Judge Rose.
After whispered conference 1t was
decided to suspend sentence in order
to give Ellis an opportunity to reform
and provide for his wife and children.
Evidence in the case proved that
Ellis downfall was due to drink.

Brilliancy has been discouraged and

There has been a tendency to place

TRACTS IN MANY TONGUES
Difficult Feats of Printing Done
Here for Missionary Work
Abroad.

One of the most difficult of all pub
fishing tasks is accomplished by the
American Tract society, which prints
not only tracts. but also books in ma
tive African languages, such as Mpong-
we, Bulu, Umbundu, Benga and Fang.
lnasmuch as these tongues, though
spoken BY millions of blacks were not
written until recently-the problem of
rendering such works as the Pilgrims
Progress" into their vernacular in
printed form is beset by many OBJ
stacles.
For the copy dependence must be
had upon the missionaries. who write
il out in typescript 1t has to be sent
all the way to New York to be set up
in type. and. as a matter OF course,
care must be taken that il shall be as
close to perfect accuracy as possible.
The languages are not understood
either by the men who set the type or
by the proofreaders. and so the edit
ors. who are equally ignorant on the
subject. must follow copy slaylshly.
AS far as possible the typewriter
words represent phonetically the
spoken words as uttered by the ma
uves.
Having thus translated their vocal
speech into print the missionaries
have taught the blacks to read their
own languages. an accomplishment
which has helped greatly in their
mental and moral elevation They
have not only simple dictionaries, but
also primers illustrated with excellent
woodcuts.

THE GROWTH OF TROUT.
Age, Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing on Size.

Have No Bearing on Size.
The Salvelinus fontinalis. which is
currently but inaccurately called brook
trout, was supposed for many years
to be small fish. Agassiz was
largely instrumental in exploding this
fallacy. 1t Is not an uncommon thing
for an angler with ordinary luck to
get n six or seven pound trout of this
variety. 1t Is known that a trout may
grow to weigh eleven or twelve pounds.
There Is, however, great difficulty in
accounting for Its variation in size.
In northeastern Canada there are
large streams and lakes In which only
fingerllngs have ever been found. In
the Immediate vicinity Of such waters
three and four pound trout are quite
common and seven and eight FOUNDERS
are not phenomenal In I'LL these wa
ters crustacea do not abound; there are
no small fish of any kind except small
trout All the fish are pure fly feeders.
At some places. 1t Is true. frogs abound,
but taken as IA whole the difference In
food supply is not an adequate eX-
planation for the difference in growth.
There is no substantial difference in
the waters as to temperature, size.
origin and course. Climatic conditions
are the same The small trout taken
to virgin lakes In which there are no
fish have sometimes grown to q great
size, have sometimes remained small
and sometimes have not thriven. The
anglers who haunt these waters have
not yet found a satisfactory explana-
ton of this peculiar condition Of things.
1t is one of the mysteries which lends
fascination to the art. You never can
tell what is going to happen when you
