SAY CHILDREN ARE IN DANGER
Board of Education Hears Petition
From Patrons of Avenue 35
School

Lives OF children attending the school,
near Avenue Thirty-five are said to be
imperiled daily by the proximity to
network of street car tracks and auto
mobile driveways that are constantly
in use. Many of the children attending
the school in that district have had
narrow escapes from being run down
by automobiles and the large electric
cars that pass there. the speed Of which
is almost unlimited at times, say the
parents. These conditions were made
the subject of n discussion at last
nights meeting of the board of educa-
ton.
A petition from the residents near
Avenue Thirty-fiVe to have these con-
ditions bettered was read at the meet
ing and was referred to the building
committee.
The petition also contained a dis
cussion of the best possible plan for
betterment, as viewed by the residents
of that district ! [ asked for another
school building and new district, say
ing that the greater part of the chill
dren that attended the school lived on
the west side Of Pasadena avenue and
We're compelled to cross the drivewayS
and car tracks four times each day.
The fact that the children attending
this school are crowded into four small
rooms when several more rooms could
be we'll used strongly supported the
citizens in their appeal for another
school building.

Miss May Smith, p. ]. Marks pretty
-year-old niece, whom the police be-
friended last Saturday morning by
placing her in the female ward of the
city prison in order, as the girl eX-
pressed it, to protect her from her
uncle, whom she feared" was turned
over to Humane Officer Aiken yes
terday. The latter will try to find
work for the girl in this city
The police seem to suddenly have
taken a different view of the situa-
tion and yesterday, before the girl
was taken from the city prison. Marks
was called and asked if such an ar
rangement was satisfactory to him.
Marks eagerly answered in the affirma-
tive and stated that his only purpose
was to give the girl all the protection
that he would one of his own
daughters.
When Marks was rurther questioned
by Chief of Police Auble in regard to
his relationship with the girl he eX-
hibited receipts which showed that he
mad furnished her money upon several
occasions which the girl used in cloth
ing herself. These receipts were signed
by the girls mother This fact has
had much bearing with the police in
forming their theories

SANTA MONICA, Jan. S.--After wait
ing nearly an hour over the time set.
Justice of the Peace A. L. Jenness re-
ceived a telephone message from the
Los Angeles district attorney this
morning saying that the preliminary
hearing of DIR" William Thompson
had been Indefinitely postponed. In
somuch as Thompson's non-appearance
legally meant a forfeiture of the $4,000
bail in which he is held on the charge
OF eXtortion preferred by David Evans,
president of the Bank of Venice,
conference was Immediately held in
which the Justice. Mr.. Evans and the
attorney representing the wife of the
accused man took part, Mrs Thomp-
son being on the bond. and resulted in
word being returned to Los Angeles
to the effect that the best way to set
tie the difficulty would be for the de-
fendant to appear. in which case the
bond could be withdrawn and the
prisoner held on the more important
charges now being preferred. Later
in the day District Attorney Z. H.
Hutchinson, with Thompson securely
handcuffed, appeared and the formal
tiles We're gone through.
1t is said here on good authority that
Thompson, when taken at Mojave, of
fered the arresting deputy huge sum

Hurry Work on New Traek-Water
Constantly creeps Up and softens
Spots in Old Roadbed

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO. Jan. S.-That
the Southern Pacific in the vicinity of
the Salton sea is facing a situation that
is rapidly becoming a serious one is
evident from reports from the desert
brought by people coming in from that
section.
The strange inland sea is continuing
to rise at the rate of about an inch a
day. there being no cessation. In
places arms of the sea now reach under
the track, and in many spots the track
is becoming soft making it necessary
for the trains TO move slowly.
Work on the new line OH a level of
from fifty to seventy-five feet higher
than the present track is being rushed
with hundreds of men. and it is hoped
to nave it in operation in the very near
future, so that the ever-rising sea will
rot interfere with the operation OF
trains.
Water has gotten dangerously near
some of the lands to the east of Mecca
and has endangered the government
experiment station. and If it continues
to rise will inundate much of that
country.
The entire country about the sea is
now a fine hunting field. there being
thousands upon thousands of ducks and
geese, and it is but an hours work to
get out and procure a fine string OF
birds.
The Southern Pacific is using several
boats on the sea for handling material
from one point to another and for haul
ing out material that has been covered
by the water.
A serious 'norther" has been blowing
in this valley much OF the time for the
past twenty-four hours. All of last

Several San Pedro men are in the

Two steamers of 1000 tons each have
been chartered for this work to ply

and more will be put on when the
trade is worked up so that they are

to be begun within n few weeks. They
