CHILDREN SHOW
RARE BRAVERY
VACCINATION RECORDS ARE
BROKEN
Eleven Hundred Youngsters Pass
Through Hands Of Doctors at
City Hall-Few Whlmpers
and None Faint

Eleven hundred children were vacci.
mated IN Los Angeles at the expense OF
the city yesterday.
This breaks all former records for Los
Angeles and is said to be the largest
number of vaccinations ever made I'm q
single day on the Pacific coast. Elx-
elusive of New York, Los Angeles is
said to be the most thoroughly vacci-
mated city In the United states.
DR. l.. Nj. Powers, DR.. Garcelon and
City Bacteriologist Leonard with ten
assistants began their labors shortly
after noon. When they finished at
O'Clock the entire staff was almost ex-
hausted.
During the middle of the afternoon
the vaccinations were made at the rate
of three hundred an hour. The long line
of children ranging in age from seven to
seventeen years filled the health office,
the offices of the city bacteriologist and
milk inspectors, the hallway and traileG
away across the city hall park almost
to the street.
In some cases mothers stool in line
with their children for more than two
hours. Zach was forced to take his
turn and the advance of the vaccination
line was painfully slow.
The bread line paled into insigniti-
canoe as compared to 1t. Ono woman
with her three little tots became ex-
hausted and sat down on the city hall
steps where, despite the cold stone, the
three chubby little fellows placed their
heads in their mothers lap and fell
asleep.
Mothers Are Exhausted
Others were also forced out of the
line from sheer exhaustion. preferring
to keep their children out of school for
three or four days and return at time
when the attempt to reach the physi-
clans should not be so strenuous.
There is a strict restriction against
school attendance unless a vaccination
scar is shown or a permit from the
health office is presented to the school
authorities.
Out of the great number to undergo
the ordeal only five children cried and
not one tainted. DIR. Garcelon charac-
terized this as something remarkable.
Many of the children gave San Fran
cisco as their place of birth, showing
that many of the families who were
driven from the north by the disaster
have taken up their residence perma-
nently in Los Angeles.
Every state in the Union was repre-
scented as well as some of the European
countries.
when we vaccinateed 700 children
last Saturday" said Dr. Garcelon as he
finished his work, 1--WE believed we had
established record which would stand
for some time. This, however, goes be-
yound our widest expectation. ! would
not have thought there were that many
children who were not vaccinated in the
city after the work we have been doing
the past two weeks. For several hours
during the afternoon l vacoinated 100
little children an hour. OF course my
assistants had prepared the patient and
it was but the work of moment to use
the point and pass on to the next.
Exclusive of New York city 1 am
satisfied that. Los Angeles is the best
vaccinated city in the United States. 1t
is credited with being well safeguar6ed
against smallpox"

POLICE MATRoN is BURNED
Clothing Takes Fire From Burning
Gasoline, but Presence of Mind
Saves Serious Injury

Mrs Aletha Gilbert, matron at the
police station, was severely burned yes
terday morning at her home, 41S North
Grand avenue. Her dress caught fire
from a small gasoline explosion and in
trying to smother the flames her arm
and hand were burned.
Mrs Gilbert threw some waste paper
into the stove without noticing that a
bottle containing gasoline was among
the rubbish. The gasoline at once
caught fire and the flames ignited Mrs.
Gilbert's clothing and threatened to
set fire to the house. Mrs. Gilbert had
the presence of mind to throw a rug
over herself and extinguish the flames.

ITALIAN BuNCOED
BY COUNTRYMAN
GIVEN OLD NEWSPAPERS FOR
HIS CASH
Promised Twenty Dollars in Currency
for Every Dollar in Gold and Is
Led to Invest His Savings
In Green Goods

The proverbial gold brick bunco game
was yesterday outdone in Los Angeles,
when Natal Staramizini, an italian re-
Gently emigrated to this country from
South America, got his first insight into
frenzied finance. 4's
Staramizni brought $500 with him to
Los Angeles and deposited 1t in the In
ternationa Savings bank.
The case would have ended right
there in all probability, but Staramizini
could not retain the wonderful secret
of his fabulous wealth, and straightway
revealed the fact of his possession to
the first chance acquaintance. Ihls
chance acquaintance was fellow
countryman, Jose Cordonl, VINO at once
became very much Interested in show
ing Staramizini the best and safest way
to invest his savings.
Consents to FIim-Flam
In short, Cordoni promised to give
him twenty dollars in currency for his
every one dollar in gold coin.
This seemed to be a perfectly leg1tl-
mate trade to the innocent Staramizini.
and he readily consented to the propo-
sition.
Cordoni then took him to house near
Sixth and Wall streets. where he was
introduced to two friends of Cordonl-
''prominent Los Angeles financiers."
After securing Staramizinis small
fortune, the trio of financial magnateS
presented him with a sealed tin box
which they assured him contained just
twenty times as much as the gold coin
for which they had exchanged it.
Staramizini was elated with the gene
rosity of his friends" and his graft
tude knew no bounds when they pro-
posed to send him on a little trip to
San Francisco-and they were to pay
for his ticket, too.
Finds Old Newspapers
When Staramizini reached Burbank
he decided to have a look at his in
creased wealth. With childish expec-
fancy he hastily pried off the lid of the
box and then-the big. fellow broke
down and cried; for there was nothing
in the box but package of old news
papers.
Staramizini left the train at the first
stop after he had made the disappoint-
ing discovery, and walked to Los Ange-
les, where he reported his treatment to
the police.
Cordoni was arrsted yesterday after
noon and is now in custody, but his
confederates have escaped The police
department of San Diego have been
notified to look out for. them.
