He Has Escaped Like

Richard Pttman, juvenile of the Fer

relief yesterday and he has been smil-
ing ever since.
The reason was telegram from New
York advising him that a rich young
widow who has been looking for him
with a big stick had gone to Mexico
and Is not Gs has been supposed, on
her way to Los Angeles to administer
a borsewhipping to the POPULAR young

The widow in he case is Mrs. Dora

she has heretofore administered punish

prisonment in San Quentin peniten-
Indifferent to His Fate

The jury was out less than ten min
uteS and it's verdict of guilt seemed
to have little effect on the prisoner. He
was asked whether or not he wanted
time before sentence was pronounced
against him and he answered that it
might as well be pronounced right
away as at any other time.
He Shufhed forward and grinned at
Judge Smith in a funny manner and
the jurors who had waited to see the
performance grinned in sympathy.
Mr.. Huber" said the court, and the
anarchist started and then seemed
proud of the fact that some one had
called him mister"
You have been found guilty by this
jury and they seem to have thought
that you went into this cabin and stole
that property Now this court will
have to send you to states prison"
"Will / have to work there?" queried
Huber with a wry face as he received
an affirmative answer.
IT have not worked for seven years
and ] don't want to begin now" con-
tinued the prisoner.
"Well, the state instead of the coun-
ty will furnish you your living for lit
tie while more, but you may have to
earn it," said the court. what do
you think of spending about two years
up there?"
mo, no; / could not stand that-that
is too long; about one year will do"
said Huber.
1t was finally agreed that two years
would be the sentence and Huber in
sisted that Judge Smith insert the
clause that he should not be shot
when he reached the penitentiary. HUI
Der evidently imagined he was back
in Sweden or in Russia. for he was in
sistent about the non-shooting clause.
He will be taken north today.

ROBS RANGERS,
GOES TO PRISON
Wandering Swede Found Guilty of
Larceny Told He Must Work
in the Peniten=
tiary

81 have been in Los Angeles county
for more than seven years and I have
never done lick of work while I
have been here. The county owes me a
living and will have to pay what it
owes"
Such was the remarkable statement
of John Huber. SWede, when he faced
jury i'm department one of the SUI
perior court yesterday morning on a
charge of having robbed a forest
rangers camp.
Huber was the living likeness of all
the Weary Willie" pictures of the
comic sections. He had evidently had
but the one suit of clothes for the
past seven years and the jurors could
hardly tell where the man ended and
the clothes begun, for both were about
the same color. His fact was lined
with the hardship of the mountains
and plains, and his hair, unkempt and
uncombed, was in sad need of bar
Der.
Huber was arrested on the west fork
of the San Gabriel river two weeks ago
by deputies. He was charged with haV-
ing entered a rangers cabin and with
having stolen not only the rangers
blankets. canteens and clothing, but
with having also made away with most
of the food cached there.
"If there is any one thing in the
mountains which is sacred from out
side interference it Is a rangers cabin,
and when the one i'm question was
found to have been robbed the rangers
did not look for anyone who bore any
marks of decency," stated one witness.
Huber was the first man they found
and he had the things with him.
Yesterday morning he came up for
trial and within less than two hours
he had been tried by a jury and found
guilty and sentenced to two years inn

TO STOP FREIGHT
ON ELECTRIC LINES
PLAN TO CAUSE ENFORCEMENT
OF ALL LAWS
Bill Prepared Providing That District
Attorney Be Given Control of
Criminal Prosecution in
City and County

1t will be a sad day for grafters
when the state legislature passes the
proposed Los Angeles bill, giving Dis
trict Attorney Fredercks the power TO
take control of the entire criminal
prosecuting work of both county and
city and grant him complete jursdic-
ton over the criminal complaints of
the police court.
For some years past the change has
been talked of, and since the proposed
annexation of city and county that
feature has been one of the foremost
under consideration. II the bill, as pro-
posed, is passed then all criminal COM
plants win be taken out of the hands
of the city attorney and turned over
TO the district attorneys Office. Every
case, from a common drunk to a MUIR
der trial, viii be conducted by the Of
fieers of the district attorney while on
the other hand, II will not be long, ac-
cordiDg TO the statements OF prominent
attorneys in Los Angeles, before the
city attorney will be granted the pow
er Of advising the county board OF SUI
perVisors, SO that the civil power will
be taken away from the district attor-
ney and a fair exchange made.
To Stop Grating
There is no doubt that condition
should exist" said Capt Fredericks.
1T Is the only sane way to do away
with any grating in office.
"As II is, the council passes law
and the mayor signs il up, then IL Is
easy enough for a mayor or other Of
fetal to instruct the chief OF police 10

simply hold it as club over some ones
head. That causes the particular some
one to quickly give an official money
and then there is graft If the law
is passed and the courts turned over
to the jurisdiction of this Office the
council either will have to repeal those
laws or we will see that they are en-
forced. There are many ordinances
now which l personally believe are I'M
just and of little or no value, but all
the same, so long as those ordinances
are ordinances they will be enforced
by this office if the power is granted
us.
"Oh, it is easy enough to compel the
enforcement of those laws. 1t wouldn't
matter to me whether or not the chief
of police had been instructed not to
enforce certain laws. He would en-
force them, anyhow.
To Enforce All Laws
"There is a clause in the state law
which reads that any public official
who fails to enforce a law when he
knows that law is being violated is
guilty of a breach of trust, and, accord
ing to the law, he can he hailed before
the superior court and his Office taken
from him and a fine of $500 imposed.
By the time a few chiefs and other Of
ficers had been given that treatment
they would enforce ordinances without
receiving any orders from any one, and
then the laws would be obeyed and
there would be no reason for graft,
because these people would know that
they would have to obey the laws
whether they paid money or not, and it
would not be long before they would
tire of such profitless business.
Every time a freight ear passes
through the streets of Los Angeles ON
these electric lines the chief of police
could be held guilty of breach of trust
and forfeit his Office. That is not a
matter for civil attorneys to wrangle
over. Il is the law and there can be
but one Interpretation of that ordi-
nance, and that is arrest the offenders.
The two offices ought TO be COM
bined, and 1 think that bill win be
passed"

Bull Bat and Boil WeeviI.

The killing of the nighthawk, COM
monty known as bull bat, is practised
largely in the Southern states, where
the bird is eaten for food; and large
numbers also have been destroyed by
gunners who have used the bird only
for target, to test thir skill or to ac-
quire proficiency in wing shooting.
1t is not uniting then that in the
South should be discovered new eco
nomic reason for the bull bats i'm
munity. The agents Of the Biological
Survey who have been studying the
relation of birds to the cotton boil
weevil have secured data which lead
them to conclude that the bull bat Is
one of the most important enemies of
the pest. In view of their Importance
as insect destroyers, the report urges
nighthawks should at all times be
rigidly protected.
1t looked once as if Texas and other
weevil-infested states might be asked
to class the quail with other insect
eaters and give it protection as q
special ally of the cotton grower. The
Investigations of the Survey, however,
have not tended to show that Bob
White is so much of weevil destroy
or as has been reputed. The ground
feeding habits of quail, says the re.
port now before us, make it practi-
cally certain that few If any boil
weevils are taken by them in summer,
though there is a possibility that more
extended study may show that they
feed on the weevil between January
and June.-Forest and Stream.

Sharing His Burden.

One of the players in the Ameri-
can Baseball League vas about to go
into the field for practice before a
game, says q writer in the New York
Press, when his shoe-string broke.
Say, boy" he called to a youth
who was eying him admiringly, run
out and buy me a pair of shoe-laces,
will you? Tell the man at the gate
you are going out for me, and he'll
pass you back all right"
The boy took the coin offered and
darted away like shot, proud as a
king over the Importance of the mis-
sion confided to him. Outside the
grounds he met several companions,
to whom he boosted, as only small
boy can, of the honor conferred upon
him.
A few minutes later he reappeared
at the gate. With him was a boy
about his own age. The messenger
recalled to the guardian of the gate
that he was to be permitted to pass
by virtue of his errand.
That's all right Go ahead in.
But who's this other fellow"
Hes helping me-" said the boy.
He's got one of the shoe-laces. "
The grim custodian tried not to
smile, but he could not help it, and
both boys entered.

Benjamin Franklin's contumelious
Characterization of the eagle is con-
tanned in Audubon's Ornithological BIZ
ography, and reads as follows:
For my part" says he, in one Of
his letters, II wish the Bald Eagle
had not been chosen as the representa-
tive of our country. He is a bird Of
bad moral character; he does not get
his living honestly; you may have
seen him perched on some dead tree,
where, too lazy to fish for himself, he
watches the labors of the Fishing
Hawk; and when that diligent bird
has at length taken fish, and is bear
ing 1t to his nest for the support of its
mate and young ones, the Bald Eagle
pursues him and takes it from him.
With all this injustice, he is never in
good case, but like those among men
who live by sharping and robbing, he
is generally poor, and often very lousy.
Besides, he is rank coward; the lit
tie King Bird, not bigger than a
Sparrow, attacks him boldly, and
drives him out of the district. Ho 10,
therefore, by no means proper en-
blem for the brave and honest Gin
cinnati of America, who have driven
all the King Birds from our country;
though exactly fit for that order Of
knights which the French call Cheva-
Tiers d'Industrie.

The Ace OF Lend.

We are wont to speak OF this era
as the age of iron" and there is no
galnsaying that. industrially speak
ing, iron Is precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, II not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft. yielding,
pliable, IL is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give It such a prominent
place In the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turninBs and twistings, but withRl
tight joints. would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civ''iZing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type. linotype
"slugs," monotype type - all are
made OF compositions of which lead

ing of the bearings in the presses as

in which "babbitt" metal Is used.
Solder is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important

purposes besides paint:
Red lead" is another product OF
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide Of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and Is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products Of
the metal lead, such as litharge,

sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.

Valuable Trees.

Jarrah wood is the most valuable
tree in the Australian forest. An av-
erage tree is about 200 feet high, four
feet in diameter, two to four feet
from the ground, and about $50 feet
to the first branch. Trees of this size
are usually sound in every respect,
and turn out timber free from the
biemishes of dry-rot, gum-veins and
other defects to which large trees are
subject. It is not unusual to find trees
800 feet high, measuring $50 feet to
the first branch, and with a circum-
ference at the bast of 20 to 80 feet.
From one tree alone as much as 100
tons of timber have been cut. The
timber Is hard, heavy, elastic and
tough. The grain is interlaced, giving
1t an extraordinary strength, and max
ing it especially suitable for engineer
ing purposes.
