What was thought at first to be a
serious runaway Saturday evening
ended rather fortunate. A team came
! Gown Fourth street at lively rate
about dark, broke away from the buggy
in front of Herman Ohman's residence,
and left the driver senseless by the
roadside. The injured man was hur-
riedly removed to Boardman's hospital
about all in as those who witnessed
the fracas thought-but next morning
he was up by daylight, paid the matron
for his 'fxins," and was off. He
proved to be sewing machine agent
in the employ of F. L. Walker of Ellen
dale, and squirrel whisky had much the
better of him. The team was found at
Mr.. Meyers place east of town and
was returned to the owner, who pro.
ceeded to Glendale.

EpTHEBOY SAND
GIRLSIN SCHOOL
Only 81 Per Cent Of Enrolment
in County Attend School
County Superintendent Lowell Makes Plea I,
Parents and School Officers to Make
Children Attend School

A circular just received from State
Superintendent Stockwell urges county
superintendent to put forth every ef-
fort to make the attendance better
during the coming year than in the
past. The circular says in substance
that the census returns from all over
the state makes it apparent that a
great number of pupils have not been
in school the required sixty days and
many have not been in school at all.
When it is found, as is the case in
many counties, that more than so per
cent of the children have not been in
school sixty days, there is something
wrong somewhere. Every county
superintendent is urged to bring home
to the directors the necessity, not only
of maintaining school six months, as
contemplated by law, but to urge that
the terms of school be increased to at
least eight months and then emphasize
the necessity of pupils attending as
prescribed by law, bringing forth, if
every other argument fails, the fact
that their pockets will be seriously af-
fected by the non-attendance of pupils.
The conditions in Dickey county are
these. Last year there were enrolled
in the public schools 1904 pupils. Of
these 1,342 attended at least sixty days.
This is 81 per cent of the enrolment.
But there are many children who were
not enrolled. Some of them, possibly
because they were unfortunately
located in sparsely settled community
too far away to attend the nearest
school. Some may have been physically
incapacitated. Some may have been
proficient in the branches taught in
the common schools. But the greatest
trouble arises from Indifference on the
part of parents. Many fall schools
have opened but the parents are keep
ing the twelve to fourteen year old boy
at home to work. The law says tlas
boy must be in school. Ought not a
mans own interest in his boy actuate
him to send him to school rather than
| to oblige officials to quote law to him?
! While an eight months term would
be very desirable, directors say that
lack of funds prevent this in some dis.
tricts. The next best thing is to KEEP
the children in school all the time that
school is in session. Do not keep them
out to thresh, or herd, or plow. The
child's business is to be in school the
day school opens and every day there
after.
| Directors: see to it that every chile
in your district attends school. What
one district can do, another one can do
Albion school district reports ever,

HUNTINGTON IN FAVOR OF
THE GREAT EXPOSITION

Leaders in the movement to hold in
Los Angeles the Universal Peace and
Commerce exposition thus far have
failed to get into telegraphic communi-
cation with H. e. Huntington to Sc
cure from him his positive Endorsement
of the project.
While all those who are connected
with the affair have personal knowl-
edge that Mr.. Huntington has been
greatly interested in the proposed ex-
position and really has been probably
the prime mover in the plan, they de-
sire to lay before the chamber of COM
merce committee on expositions Mr..
Huntington's own statement.
A. M Parsons last Wednesday sent
Mr. Huntington telegram, but 1t has
failed to reach the street railway mag
nate owing to the fact that he is max
ing a side trip somewhere in the east.
However, it Is confidently expected by
Mr.. Parsons that he will hear from Mr..
Huntington before next Tuesday night
when the chamber of commerce COM
mittee on expositions will hold its first
meeting.

WOMAN LOSES PEACE CASE
Interpretation of Hebrew Word Shows
1t Is Not So Bad as 1t
Sounded

Mrs. Sarah Azarow, 661 Carrillo
street, accused Louis Sossman, a plumb
er, in police court yesterday of having
called her vile names and disturbing
the peace on the night of October 80,
at First and San Pedro streets.
Sossman charged in rebuttal that
Mrs Azarow had slapped him SIX times
in succession while he stood on the
street in front of bakery talking with
a friend. He said he had neither said
nor done anything to the woman when
she had so abused him, and won the
fattering praise from Deputy City Pros
ecuting Attorney Eddie that he was a
model of virtue and manliness" for his
rather unusual passiveneSs when being
soundly slapped in the face, especially,
Mr.. Eddie continued, as he has the rep
utation of possessing very free and
vitriolic tongue.
He admitted calling Mrs. Azarow a
"honchi," which was the epithet she
accused him of flinging at her, but said
that the word was Hebrew one and
meant nothing worse than slovenly,
peasant woman. Mrs. Azarow had in
terpreted the word in an entirely diff
ferent manner.
Sossman said that the trouble between
him and Mrs. Azarow had been started
over bill for plumbing work done by
him at her house, for which she refused
to pay.
Police Judge Rose adjudged Sossman
not guilty of disturbing the peace or
calling Mrs. Sossman vile names.

DANCE TO PROVIDE FUNDS
Girl Students Helped Through College
by Money Furnished by
Association

The gymnasium of the Los Angeles
high school was the scene of gay fes-
tiVities yesterday afternoon when a
large number of the students gathered
to hold the semi-annual scholarship
dance. The affair was given under the
auspices of the Scholarship associa-
tion and had for it's object the raising
of funds for the society.
The association is philanthropic in
Stitution of the students, organized for
the purpose of sending one or more
girls from each graduating class to
college since it's inception seven years
ago the society has provided funds for
eighteen girls.
The money raised is never given out
right to the student, but is made as
loan, to be paid as soon as the recipient
can do so. Each one is given $3.50 to
help her through the first year at COL
lege, after which it is expected that
she will get the necessary funds from
some other source. OF the eighteen who
have received funds in the past one
has already paid back the amount with
interest. and four more are paying at
present. One of the girls who was en-
abled to go through college bys the
aid of the association is now teaching
at Polytechnic high school.
The membership is restricted to the
membership of the senior class, but
for the small sum of 10 cents the boys
| term candy and confection sales,
dances and all sorts of wiles are prac-
| ticed by the fair members of the body
| to separate the masculine portion of the
| school from their dimes. In addition,
otuside aid is frequently extended to
increase the fund, and in previous years
substantial amount has been raised.

NEGRO is HELD FOR MURDER
Plea of Defense for Manslaughter
Charge Denied by Justice of
the Lower Court

James H. Flemming, negro charged
with shooting and killing John S. Smith,
negro, at 739 Clanton street on the af-
ternoon of November 2, was arraigned
Yesterday afternoon in Justice Austin's
court and held to the superior court ON
a charge of murder.
The attorney for the defense made
strong argument to the effect that only
a charge of manslaughter could be held
against Flemming, as he had shot Smith
while angered by insult and assault.
Justice Austin, however, decided that
the case was one of murder in the first
degree.
The trouble which led to the killing
of Smith was quarrel over some whis-
ky TASKS, which Smith accused Fem-
ming of stealing from him. During the
argument Smith struck Flemming over
the head, according to the testimony of
witnesses, with "A heavy club, infiicting
a deep scalp wound. Flemming left the
room and returned with big revolver,
which he is said~to have aimed at Smith
and fired.
Smith died shortly after being shot,
at the receiving hospital, and in an
ante-mortem statement accused Flem-
ming of having wounded him. Flem-
ming surrendered himself to the police
within few hours of the time the
crime occurred.

CITY TO BUILD
STEAM DREDGER
CHEAPER THAN TO ACCEPT
CORPORATION BID
Rather Than Pay sas,5oo, Water De-
partment viii Erect Big Apparatus
for Owens River by Day
Labor

Superintendent William Mulholland of
the water department has determined
that It will be cheaper for the city to
build its own steam dredger.
The question was referred to the de-
partment by the board of public works
after the bid of the Atlantic, Gulf &
Pacific company for s3S,5OO was re-
ceived. This sum is regarded as ex-
cessive. The Marion, o., Shovel Co.
bid less, excluding the boat and the
cost Of placing the machinery.
The dredger is for use in the owens
river work and will be similar to the
one in use at Naples, which is the
property of the same bidder. This
company has its own steam machinery
plants scattered over the country.
Mulhollands plan is to have the
metal work done at Los Angeles
foundries as well as the woodwork
and send the parts in to the Owens
river valley to he assembled and
erected there.
The expert engineers, Messrs.
Stearns, Freeman and Schuyler de-
parted yesterday for the valley in two
automobiles to make careful inspec-
ton of the future sourse of Los An
geles' water supply. One auto was
stocked with supplies, instruments and
camp beds.
Last night the party reached Eliza
beth Lake for camping. The engineer
for this district Is with the experts
and will remain with the engineers
till the boundary of the next engineer
ing district is reached, when he will
be displaced by the engineer for the
next district

PROF. A. |. KR0EBER HERE TO
AROUSE INTEREST
Indians viii Be the Topic of the
President of the American Asso-
citation, Who Is Pushing
the Work

Those interested in folklore on the
Pacific coast will gather tonight in
Unity church, 925 South Flower street,
to hear an interesting discussion on
the language, songs and customs of
the Indians, with lantern slide accom-
paniment
Residents of Los Angeles will doubt
less take an active interest in this
work as the result of the visit here of
Prof. A. l.. Kroeber of the chair Of
anthropology of the University of
California, who expects to spend a
week here arousing enthusiasm in be-
half of the California branch of the
American Folklore society.
The American society is national
organization, founded eighteen years
ago, with branch societies in many
states, and not until last year were
western states included.
California Leads
Among the most recent and most
successful branch societies is that of
California. 1t was founded only a
year ago in Berkeley and San Fran
favorable conditions and has proved
not only the most active but the larg-
est of all the branch societies.
\. A number of prominent Californians
have been affiliated from the begin
ming, including Charles F. Lummis as
one of the officers, Miss Grace Nichol-
son and A. c. Vroman of Pasadena.
The meeting tonight will be of spe-
cial interest, as the speaker, who will
address the meeting on Folklore of
the California Indians,"s is, Prof.
Kroeber, who is also president of the
national society and secretary of the
California branch. -.-
Prof. Kroeber has been connected
with the chronological and archaeolo-
gical survey of the state university
for five years, and has devoted much
of his time to study and research OF
the redskins, collecting many objects
of interest and innumerable pictures,
some of which will be shown during
the talk.
The California society is particularly
favored by the richness of material
for study within it's reach, Mexico, In
dian and Oriental elements in the pop
ulation affording opportunity for di-
rect and varied investigation un-
equaled elsewhere, and Southern Cali
fornia is even richer than the remain
der of the state. There is therefore no
reason why there should not grow In
this city a society which will flourish
and be pride to Southern California,
say Its officers.
The meeting will be held at o'clock
at Unity church. Charles F. Lummis
will preside and will introduce the
meeting with presentation of phono-
graph records of Indian songs.

BLOW OF CANE
CRACKS CONCRETE
CITY OFFICIALS WILL PROD
CONTRACTORS
Taxpayers Demand That Work on
Tiokett Street, Near First, and
Ida Street, Near Temple,
he Done over

The Board of Public Works proposes
to get after some contractors with a
sharp stick as a result of complaints
that are piling up concerning slovenly'
unworkmanlike and unsatisfactory
work on contracts.
Two cases have just been presented
to the board that are deemed specially
Naprant. according to the tax payers.
The work on Fickett street, between
First and Fourth, has aroused the ire
of property owners and Councilman
Blanchard is quoted as saying that
with a cane he kr ocked off sections
OF the concrete work placed there.
The compliments say the work Is
not done according to specifications,
is unworkmanlike and demand that the
entire Job be done over.
Those who have made their griev-
ance public are William j. Welshans,
Ida NJ. Gray, Margaret Shaffer, Viroqua
Dunn, Emma G.. Wakefield, Anna l..
Gilmore, Joel Davis, Frances McCar-
ron, Nancy A. McCarron, o. Hilleary,
August Schneider, Anna e. Cough, II.
S. Taggart, Eugene Walker and M. j.
Edwards.
About 2062 feet are involved in the
lo tting on Pickett street, of which I'LL
feet of frontage is represented In the
complaints and 343 feet have not been
reached through their owners.
On Ida Street
Property owners on Ida street (now
Coronado) at the old Temple street
end, have also filed complaint about the
contract work done there.
The street has been filed with loose
dirt to bring it up to grade, it is
charged, but no tamping or rolling was
done, giving it an imperfect founda-
tion. This was the case, too, under
the sidewalk line, with the result that
rain will wash away the foundation,
undermine the sidewalk and crack the
concrete.
The specifications provide that roll
ing and tamping must be done as
every foot of the filling is put on, and
plenty of water must be used to cause
settlement.
The West Temple Street Improvement
association has filed the charges in
this case.

ASK THAT OIL BE SPREAD.
West Forty-fourth Property owners
Are Victims Of Too Much
Traffic

Relief is asked for by property owners
on West Forty-fourth street, between
Budlong and Normandie avenues, until
permanent Improvement Of the thor
oughfare can be had.
At present Santa Monica avenue (For-
ty-third streeD is virtually closed, ow-
ing to sewer work, and all traffic is dl-
verted to Forty-fourth street.
Several subdivisions and tracts are
being opened up in the section west of
Normandle avenue, and great amount
of hauling follows.
West Forty-fourth street is in a bad
condition, and rapidly growing worse
as a result, and 1t is far from pleasant
to the dwellers there.
A delegation from that district has
asked the board of public works that the
chuck holes be filed and that coating
of oil be applied at least as tempo
rary measure while the question of what
disposition to make of row of pepper
trees is awaiting settlement.

NINTH WARD WANTS SEWERS
Board Of Public Works Points Out an
Error Concerning Bond
Monevs

The Ninth Ward Improvement asso-
citation has asked the board of public
works concerning the lateral sewers in
that ward
Members of the association are in
clined to think that bonds recently vot-
ed and sold were for the purpose of
constructing these sewers. They are
under the impression that City Treas
urer Workman told them that. $27O, 900
had accumulated in the treasury in this
particular fund.
Members of the board, however, say
that this is an error-that the last bond
issue for storm sewer bonds was de-
feated.
Sanitary sewers have been provided
for in the scheme but not storm sew
ers.

ing that he was assaulted by the lat

of mutual dislike, and the prosecuting
