FRATERNITIEs ARE HOPEFUL
Look for More Favorable Action from
Incoming Board of Edu-
cation

. The position of the "frat" men in
the high schools is temporarily at a
lull because of the changes which are
soon to be made in the personnel of
the board of education. DR.. Moore's
trip north prevented anything being
done till he returned and since then
the time has been so limited that it
is probable the present board will not
do anything in the matter.
Several representatives of the fra
ternities were at the board meeting
Monday night, but the subject was
not even brought up and Prof. w. H.
Housh, principal of the Los Angeles
high school, said that he did not be-
lieve the present board would take
up the question. The boys hoped that
in the change of the board the subject
would be overlooked, but DR.. e. c.
Moore declared yesterday that he
would not let it rest. He will recon-
mend to the high school committee
that the fraternities be forced from
the schools because such action seems
to be universal throughout the coun-
try. Dr. Moore declares that it is for
the purpose of spreading the fraternal
feeling throughout the school and not
conflning it to small coterie that
he is taking that action.

TROUBLE BREN|s
IN STAGELAND
MANAGERS WILL REFUSE TO
RAISE WAGES
Crisis May Be Precipltated If Union
Workers Make Talked-of De-
mands for Increase in
Salaries

Trouble is threatening between the
Angeles and crisis will probably be
reached before the end of the month.
The stage hands, who are all union
men, have intimated that higher wages
would be demanded from the managers
beginning January /. The managers
have intimated that such will not be
the case. The unions have not made any
formal demands as yet, but the mana
gers met yesterday and decided not
to grant any that may be made. Fur
ther, it is understood that they gave
it out that no demands must be sent
in, or every union stage hand would
be displaced by a non-union man
January 1.
The theaters here are all unionized,
musicians, stage hands and all other
employees being in close organizations.
All the travelling organizations which
carry stage hands or musicians have
only union men. 1t was asserted yes
terday that the managers had cam
vassed this view of the situation and
had decided that If the orchestras re-
fused to play with non-union stage
hands, in case it comes to the latter,
then non-union musicians would go in
to the orchestra pits, and any foreign
company coming in that does not like
non-union help, or whose union em-
ployes refuse to work with non-union
house employees will have to make the
best of 1t.

move in the affair so far. The stage
hands have merely intimated their de-
sires in general terms and not officially.
Whether or not they will reply formal
ly to the challenge Of the managers re-
mains to be seen.

WILSON JURY
IS DISCHARGED
JURORS ARE DIVIDED ON THEIR
VERDICT
Six Recognize Unwritten Law and
Vote for Aoquittal and Six
Demand Some Kind of
Punishment

Although six of the twelve men who
in following out the dictates of the un-
written law in Staying the man who
was alleged to have betrayed his
daughter, William T. Wilson of Long
Beach must again face jury on a
charge of the murder of Wallace Bel
den.
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, after
the jury in the case had been closeted
for eighteen hours, Judge Smith sent
for them and they filed slowly into the
court room. AS they did so, Wilson
leaned forward as though prepared for
great blow. His wife put her arm
about his neck, and both waited for
the verdict.
1--WE stand to 6 in this case, six
for acquittal and six for guilty" said
the foreman. 1--WE cannot see how we
will change that vote and there is no
possibility Of us agreeing"
Jury Discharged
At that point Judge Smith discharged
the jury and ordered Wilson back into
the custody of the sheriff to await
further trial.
Wilson seemed elated over the out
ccme of the trial, for with the exception
Of that one argument, the unwritten
law, there was not one shred of evil
dence to turn the full force of the law
from him.
During the last days of the trial he
has shown great anxiety about the out
come, but refused to talk about the
shooting of Belden. He will not be
tried a second time until after the first
OF the year, when a new jury is drawn,
as most of the men on the present panel
either served on the Wilson jury or
were disqualified in that case.
Mrs. Wilson, under indictment on a
charge of assault with intent to COM
NIT murder, in that she also fired at
Belden, the alleged betrayer of her
daughter will appear In the superior
court to answer the felony charge next
Friday, but 1t is thought that her case
will again be postponed until after her
husbands second trial has been held.
Similar to Thaw Case
The Wilson case has attracted atten-
ton from all over the country because
of its similarity to the famous White
Thaw case about to be tried in New
York
Thaw, rich, young and powerful, shot
Stanford White and killed him IN the
presence OF hundreds of people who
thronged the Madison Square roof gar
den theater. He alleged that White
had ruined his wife and his home and

PLEADS He SHOT
IN SELF-DEFENSE
BOY ACCUSED OF MURDER OF
MEXICAN
Jury Will Decide Fate of Eighteen
Year-Old Farm Hand on
His Birthday Anni-
versary

On trial for the murder of his COM
panion and co-worker Constant Lilly
will today, on his eighteenth birthday,
learn from jury in department L of
the superior court the fate which the
law is to mete out to him for his
rash act.
Lilly is an overgrown country lad,
whose small and weak mouth shows
him to be victim of his own fretful
nature. For the past few years he
acted as dairy boy on various farms
near Santa Ana and Compton, finally
being promoted to manager of the
milking squad of the Torrey ranch.
On the morning of September Lilly
engaged in an argument with one of
his helpers, a Mexican boy, Alexander
Gonzales, and during the alteration
Lilly drew a revolver and fired twice,
killing the Mexican.
He then walked from the corral
without stopping to look back and
was arrested the next day at Santa
Ana.
When the case was called for trial
before Judge Smith in department 1
of the superior court yesterday the
room was crowded, for the jury in the
Wilson case was expected in with Q
report at any minute and there was
a two-fold attraction for the morbidly
curious.
Wilson Jurors Used
During the calling of the jury the
Wilson jury reported and some of the
men on that list were selected to act
on the new jury and Immediately be-
gan their work.
The Lilly case is remarkable be-
cause of the fact that yesterday at
a single session Of court all the tes-
timony was introduced and today after
argument by attorneys in the case 1t
is expected that it will be turned over
to the Jury about noon.
Joseph Torrey, owner of the dairy
at which the tragedy occurred, was
one of the first witnesses called by the
prosecution yesterday. He, with one
of his men, were the only witnesses
for the prosecution. He testified that
there had been considerable trouble
between Lilly and Gonzales for some
time before the shooting and that on
the day of the murder he said Lilly
had told him Of the killing, confessing
the shooting and asking him to forget
some OF the details.
Shortly after noon the defense be-
gan its case with a long list of char
acter witnesses who appeared for the
accused lad. The young man with
mother and sisters paid strict atten-
tion to everything said and at one
time the boy plainly showed the emo
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-12

that he was justified in the. shooting,
so that he went to a place where men
could see him and judge of the deed.
He made no attempt to escape.
Since that time his attorneys have
been alleging two pleas, one the un-
written law, the other emotional in
sanity. That case is to be tried within
the month and will attract the atten-
ton of the world.
In the Long Beach case, Wilson, a
poor man, owner of a small refresh
ment booth, but with the same spirit of
Thaw, shot down Wallace Belden, a
young bandnan, because his daughter,
Natalie Wilson, had complained to him
that Belden had enticed her to a house
and assaulted her.
1t was probably the same spirit that
caused the child's mother to shoot at
the betrayer of her girls honor, but
the woman missed.
Yesterday the jury in the case readily
proved that six jurors who have been
in criminal cases in Los Angeles long
enough to lose sentiment and emotion
recognized the unwritten law as a
great factor in the case, recognized to
such an extent that they refused to
declare Wilson guilty of the deed.

DASH MADLY FOR

ROBBERS ARE INC0NSIDERATE
BRUTES
Not Only Take All the Coin in the
Pockets, but Place Owners in
an Embarrassing Pre-
dicament

To have their trousers placed for
everyone's inspection on the front lawn
where they had to chase through the
cold damp of early morn to robe their
lower extremeties, besides being the
victims of burglars, was the unpleasant
experience of A. c. Martin and d, j,
Flood, who live at 44S1s Gladys avenue.
When these respectable citizens dis
covered early yesterday morning that
the neither part Of their wardrobe was
missing the finding led to the revela-
tion that they had also been robbed,
Martin of a gold watch and 50, and
Flood of $3.50. What could even the
gentlest man do but swear, swear in the
good old fashioned decisive manner,
when they found upon investigation
that their extra pair of trousers had
only the day before been sent to the
pressers for sponging
Their only relief from situation of
dishabille was to charge boldly like the
brave men they were onto the front
lawn, grasp the elusive apparel, and
dash back before the very eyes OF
neighbors peering from behind closed
sashes.
Martin and Flood now believe inn
plicitly In that ancient adage which is
something to the effect that zone never
appreciates trousers until they are
lacking"

Goes on Witness Stand


Shortly after o'clock his attorney,
after consultation with him, sent
him to the witness stand. The boy
seemed extremely nervous and twisted
and retwisted soiled handkerchief
in his fingers while he answered the
questions put to him. He was allowed
to do most of the talking himself and
the cross-examination by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Fleming did not last
more than five minutes.
'I went to work at the Torrey ranch
some months ago and was put in
charge of the milking of the COWS.
My home is at Compton and I sRent
all my time at the ranch becauseNit
was too far to go home and I had
to get up at o'clock every morning.
I am II years of age and will be 18
years old tomorrow.
when this Mexican, Gonzales, came
to the ranch Torrey told me to show
him the cows he was to milk every
morning and evening and I marked
his cows by tying strings to their tails.
But he wanted to ride the saddle
horse all the time and Torrey had
forbidden him to ride it. He insisted
and would ride the horse hard every
time he got a chance. He tried to
kill me with pitchfork one day when
I told him to let the horse alone. At
another time when we had row over
the horse he picked up an ak and
started for me, but drew my revolver
and stood him off and he put the AK
down, but said he would just as soon
kill me as not.
Found Two Corn. Knives
"Some time after that while we
were preparing for bed one night in
the bunkhouse he threw a book at me
when told him he must keep off
the saddle horse and later he tried
to make UP and said that he was an
Indian in blood and must do some
thing to keep up his name, that he
had been at the reform school and
would not be satisfied until he had
held up q man named Westover.
IT refused to help him and that
night / woke up to find him bending
over me. He said he thought he heard
my gun fall to the floor. The next
corn knives in his bed.
"On the morning of the shooting
got out early and started the Mexican
to milking his string of COWS. He
MIXED until he said he was through
and then when looked the COWS over
there was one COW which had not been
milked and which had to be milked
right away.
"I told him to milk her and he said
to let her go till night. 1 told him
the COW had to be milked then, and
he jumped up and started for me, say
ing he was going to kill me. I drew
my revolver as he came. for / thought
he had the knife which he always
carried open in his hand. He struck
at me and missed me and l fired
twice and he fell"
Following the boys evidence the
case was continued and will go to the
jury today.

Recovery

Edward Parsons, car repairer en-
ployed by the Southern Pacific, cut
his throat with a dull knife at his
home, 553 Ceres avenue, yesterday
afternoon and when taken to the re-
ceiving hospital was so weak it was
not thought he could survive an opera
ton.
He lived, however, and last night the
physicians stated they thought he
might recover. Parsons was arrested
a week ago charged with being drunk.
He was sentenced to three days on

he found that another man had been
given his position and this so preyed
on his mind that he attempted to
commit suicide.

BOARD CHARY IN
LICENSE CASES
POLICE COMMISSIONERS SAY
"NAY, NAY"
Applicants for Liquor, Pool Room and
Billiard Privileges Collide with
Adamantine Tribunal
at City Hall

Interests again desiring to get a
wholesale liquor license for 1900 YER
mont avenue tried hard last night to
induce the board of police commission
ers to rescind a former denial of an ap-
plication.
This is the locality which sent large
delegation to protest against such a
step some weeks ago, alleging that the
property owners were opposed and that
a school and churches were not far
away.
j. Weisbarth sprang request for
reconsideration last night before the
board, alleging that the former protest.
ing petitions had been stuffed since
many of the signers lived far distant
and that the school house referred to
was really five block distant.
XIII Blind Pig First
Some of the commissioners recalled
that at the last Indignation meeting
the board promises to grant no liquor
licenses provided the protestors would
agree to exterminate blind pig
which the police knew to exist in that
neighborhood.
Not a word has been heard from tnese
distinguished men since.
The board authorized Secretary Nc
Keag to notify the former protestors
that the license was pending once more
and to send word to the board what
progress had been made in regard to
squelching Illicit liquor traffic in that
neighborhood.
Three Turned Down
Jack Zornbica wanted a poolroom
license for 420 Ord street. between
Buena Vista and Castelar,. The police
report that the location was on the edge
of Sonoratown and would prove lott
ering place for Italians, Mexicans and
Slavonians, and would serve no good
purpose. 1t was finally denied as the
applicant brought no credentials
Major Wooters also got black eye
when he asked for permission to run
billiard parlor at 1922 East Ninth street.
Because the police mistrusted Antonio
Dovidios' intentions in asking for re-
tail liquor license for his restaurant at
41O Ord street, he, too, was turned
down. It was stated that there are sew
eral liquor selling places near. none OF
which pay very large profits. The IN
ference was that Dovidio would have 10
sell liquors other than at meal time In
order to pay the SIS monthly license,
and as a precautionthe permission was
withheld.
