The legislature last winter passed a
law making it criminal for guardians,
executors, administrators, etc., to en-
hands. This is a very important rul-
ing and is made so to the people Of

charge pending in Henry county (on
change of venue from this county,
against Attorney H. B. Sloan of this
place, in which Mr. Sloan as trustee
of one Of the Manning minor heirs is
accused of the embezzlement of his
wards funds to the amount of several

Question of Time.

The exact point raised by these de-
murrers was as to whether or not it
was a crime under the laws of Iowa
for a guardian to embezzle the funds
Of his wards at the time alleged in the
indictments. The demurrers in all
three cases were sustained and the de-
fendant discharged, the court holding
that the statute failed to make it a
crime for guardians to embezzle their
wards funds at the time alleged in the
indictments. Much interest has been
taken in these cases by the general
public here One of the cases was
tried here before Judge r. w. Eichel.
berger about year and half ago
and the defendant appealed to the su.
preme court of Iowa and the case was
reversed and sent back for retrial.

JOBS FOR THE GRADUATES
University Of California to Assist Its
Young Men to Secure
Positions
RY Assncialed press


BERKELEY, Jan. 20.-Besides fur
nishing the youths of the state an edu-
cation free of charge, the University
Of California is now to go step
farther and secure positions for those
who graduate from the institution.
Hitherto the university has been in
the habit Of placing such of the grad
uates as desired to teach in the schools
of the state, but it is now the purpose
of the authorities to enlarge the field
of the appointment secretary so as to
secure employment for the students in
every field Of activity.
The new plan was suggested to Pres
ident Wheeler by the senior in the
College of Mining. The idea is to keep
list Of all the graduates of California,
together with the positions that they
desire to fill. When, for example, a
railroad company wants an engineer it
| will go at once to the appointment sec
retary, who will refer to the list of
eligibles and select a man who has the
necessary qualifications for filling the
position in demand. Every imagina-
BILE position, from steamboat captain
10 assistant in archaeology, Is to be
filled by the university.

in the office of the city engineer Fri

be determined. The separate issues is
favored chiefly, as it would then be
possible for one issue to carry and
others to be voted down, If the people
are so disposed, rather than to vote
down the entire issue as might be the
case.
For storm drains $4,000 will be
asked, This will include 100000 for the
Pico district, $40, 900 for Wiltshire boul-
evard and Western avenue district,
$4,000 for the Alameda street district
and $4,000 for general storm drains.
The estimated cost for proposed
bridges Is $273.000. This includes the
Buena Vista viaduct, $4,000, a bridge
over the Arroyo de los Pesos to cost
S2O,OOO, the Main street bridge. $40 900
and the Seventh street bridge SIS. 900.
IL Is estimated that the lateral sewers
VIII cost about $287 900 and bonds for
TINS amount viii be asked. When these
lateral sewers are installed the city
engineer is of the opinion that Los An
seles VIII have one of the best sewer
systems in the world.
With the proposed storm drains the
heaYy rains can easily be cared FOR
and the damage that almost Invariably
accompanies a storm i'm this city will
be avoided
