Il. Suga, a Japanese has been in love

much in love with him as he was with
her.
Yesterday afternoon he went to call
on her at her home, 642 South Los
Angeles street. When he raped for ad-
mission Miss Montgomery refused to
open the door, and Suga at once sus-
pected she was receiving other callers.
Suga Is said to have raised a dis
turbance. when a large and powerful
white man came out and soundly
thrashed the Japanese. Suga also was
arrested, and at the police station he
found that Miss Montgomery had ap-
piled for his arrest, charging him with

Eighty Fat Cornfed Texas Birds Live
\on CaIifornia's Best, Cared
for by Policemen at
Headquarters

In addition to large number of vot-
ing machines which are taking up valu-
able storage space for which the city
is paying, a racing park which causes
the police to keep on the jump at the
city'S expense most of the time, and
numerous other things for which the
city has no use but is compelled to pay
the expenses of, Los Angeles now has
in addition eighty well bred turkeys
who are eating their heads off in the
city JAIL enjoying themselves to the
utmost, and happy in the thought that
although they don't know who really
owns them that some Cay they Will
find masters.
The turkeys are said to be part of
the cargo brought to Los Angeles from
Texas by U. e. Maxwell and which he
claims were driven from his corral into
that of l.. L. Ryan, commission
dealer, during his absence one dark
night. He claims he knows they are
clipped, while those owned by Ryan
were all minus a part of their wings.
These turkeys were seized onla search
warrant sworn to by Maxwell from
Ryan's corral and are being held as
evidence. Their home at present Is In
the basement of the city Jail, where
they are being fed the finest of grain at
the citys expense. 1t is said that suit
will soon be instituted by Maxwell
against Ryan to make him pay for the
turkeys, and the c. 1t of their keep in
the Jail will be added on, but in the
meantime the turkeys are living In
what proves to be a first class turkey
hotel, where all things necessary for
their comfort are supplied.
The fact that tie turkeys are con-
fined in the basement has become we'll
known to the officers of the depart
ment, and nearly every one of them
has made application for one Of the
birds for his Christmas dinner should
Chief Kern decide to confiscate them
for the city.

NEAR SIDE PLAN
TO Be ADOPTED
Los AngeIes-PacIfIc Announces lnno-
walton Which Mr.. Huntington
Promised for His Vari-
GUS Lines

Beginning January 1 patrons of the
Los Angeles-Pacific electric lines, and
doubtless on every electric line in the
city, must board and alight from cars
on the near side of street crossings.
1t is thought the innovation will be
put into effect on the Huntington lines
on the same date.
AS announced by The Herald several
days ago, Mr.. Huntington, in state
ment sent to the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' association, in reply to a
report of q special commission named
to inquire into the cause of street
car accidents, declared he would adopt
on his Los Angeles lines the plan of
stopping cars on the near side of street
crossings.
He did not set the date when the
proposed order would go into effect,
but inasmuch as the Los Angeles-Pa-
cific has given notice, which 1t did yes
terday, that the plan proposed by Mr..
Huntington would go into effect jan
uary on the lines of the Los Angeles
Pacific, it is thought that the plan
will be adopted on all electric lines
| to go into effect the first day of the
new year.
| The order of the Los Angeles-Pacifit
| is as follows
| "On and after January 1, 1907, al
cars of this company will stop whel
signaled on the near side (only) o
cross or intersecting streets and a
curves. Where streets intersect "a
an angle, and at special places, sop.
| ping point will be opposite sign boards
This order affects all lines on all di.

WOMAN PAYS FINE
FOR BOLD THEFT
Dressmaker In Good Financial Cir.
cumstances Pleads Guilty to &,
Robbing an EIeven-Year-
Old Boy

Charged with the larceny of a purse
containing a small amount of money
and a valuable gold locket from the IL
year-old son of w. H. Schultz, Mrs
John Stake, a prepossessing middle
aged woman, was before Police Justice
Chambers yesterday and pleaded guilty
to the charge. She was fined $40, which
was at once paid by her husband.
| Mrs. Stake is dressmaker and is ir
good financial circumstances.
Monday morning she was said to
have been shopping in Hamburger's de-
partment store. Mrs. Schulaz and her
son also were in the store The boy
was carrying purse containing a
small amount of silver and a locket
which Mrs. Schultz had just purchased.
He was some distance behind his
mother, but she suddenly heard him
cry, and running to him learned that
some woman had just snatched the
purse from his hand. She at once noti-
fed the police, and Detective Hosick
was detailed on the case. He thought
it probable that the thief would take
the locket to jewelry store to have 1t
engraved, and he at once called up the
different jewelry stores in the city and
instructed the proprietors to call the
station If the trinket was brought to
them.
Yesterday afternoon a message was
received from the Marshutz jewelry
store, informing them that a woman
was there with locket answering the
description of the one stolen. Hosick
at once went to the store where he
found Mrs. Stake and placed her under
arrest. She confessed to the theft.

whether or not a teacher had gone
too far in her efforts for the future

Eloquently the parents told how all

sters to make chairs soft enough for
them to sit down. With equal ora

trials she had had in trying to lead
the little feet in the paths of wisdom.
Loudly fathers and mothers demand

chastised their dears to other fields

begged for the chance to cram the

BOY IS CONVICTED
ON HIS BIRTHDAY
MANSLAUGHTER THE VERDICT
IN LILLY CASE
Youth Who Shot and Killed Fellow
EmpIoye on Dairy Farm Weeps
When He Hears Decision
Of Jury

Constant Lilly, an 1S-year-old boy
of Compton, was yesterday found
guilty of manslaughter in the killing
of Alexander Gonzales September Q, by
jury in department 1 of the superior
court.
The verdict was reached after less
than an hour of deliberation.
Yesterday was Lilly's birthday and
the boy had received q few small gifts
from his relatives in honor of the oc-
casion, but the jury could not find
1t possible to give him anything in the
way of acquittal for a present.
1t is thought that Lilly, because of
his constant solicitude and his living
practically alone on dairy ranches from
very early age, has become Slightly
mentally unbalanced and his act in
Staying the Mexican boy, who had been
added to the force of ranch hands, was
supposed to have been prompted more
from excitement than from any vicious
spirit on the dairy boys part.
1t was probably that feature of the
case which secured him the light ver-
dict, for he was charged with murder
in the first degree.
Hoped for Acquittal
Just prior to going to trial Lilly
was offered a chance by the district
attorney to plead guilty to the man.
slaughter charge, but the boys rela-
tives thought that he would stand a
chance of acquittal before jury and
the case went to trial
1t was remarkab BILE trial in that the
case was before the court less than
twenty-four hours when the verdict
was returned convicting the lad of
manslaughter.
When the verdict was read Lilly
cried like the youngster he is, while
his relatives, his mother and sisters,
who were in the court room, also
showed their grief.
Lilly will appear in department l of
the superior court for sentence Satur-
day morning and an attempt may be
made to secure probation for him, as
his physical condition bordered on col
lapse prior to the shooting and his
long stay in the county Jail pending
trial has not improved him.
LiIIy's Aim True
The crime of which Lilly was yes
terday convicted was the killing of
Alexander Gonzales. The Mexican boy
had been employed at the Torrey
ranch to milk cows and Lilly acted
as his boss. Gonzales had but recently
left the Whittier reform school and
he was naturally wild. He insisted on
cavorting about the pastures on horse
back, which he had been forbidden to
do. and shirking work.
On the morning of September 9, when
Lilly, who had had considerable trouble
with the Mexican, ordered his helper
to milk certain COW the Mexican re-
fused, and in the ensuing fight Lilly
drew his revolver and fired twice
Both bullets took effect and death re-
suited instantly.
