HOLDS A KANGAROO COURT
Handsome Jack Walsh Lectures the
Circus Ticket ScaIpers on
Error of Their WAY

Patrolman Jack Walsh assumed the
dignified role of a judge yesterday af-
ternoor-but he was only kangaroo
Judge"
Walsh. whose beat is in the vicinity
of the circus tent on Washington street
and Grand avenue. was notified by the
show people that men We're among the
crowd disposing of tickets at price
exceeding their face value.
Walsh Immediately went upon the
trail of the scalpers and succeeded in
rounding up full dozen, whom he took
to the Office of the G. Ganahl Lumber
company.
With all the ceremony OF a real jurist,
Walsh sternly seated himself in huge
easy chair fronting the culprits, and
called them one by one into his august
presence.
After giving each a severe reprimand.
in very judge-like manner, which
deeply impressed all with the solemnity
of the occasion, he dismissed them with
the parting admonition never to sell
circus tickets again for more than their
printed value.
The released "scalpers' moved slowly
out of the "court room" with uncovered
heads in honor of the Judge" while
Walsh leaned back in his chair with
self-satisfied grin, and puffed the cigar
while he dreamed dreams of a rosy fu-
ture.

PROF. NESBITT HAS A NEW PLAN
OF TEACHING
Learned Instructor OVerturns All
Theories and by Ingenious Meth
DDS compeIs Listeners to Grasp
Words for Sake of Good Stories

Defying all the theories of linguists
to the effect that foreign languages
cannot be learned without years of
study, Prof. n. Hill Nesbitt, M. A.
Phi. D., guarantees to teach French in
five weeks. He will give free opening
lessons Thursday and Friday in the

house for five weeks, At the end of
that time he guarantees that his
pupils will be able to converse and
read any simple text
Prof. Nesbitt has travelled extern
sively and visited nearly all principal
European cities, so he is able to make
his lectures doubly attractive by inter
weaving interesting anecdotes with the
words he is teaching.
He is not "A native Frenchman, as he
was born in Geneva. but he has studied
French for over twenty years and has
taken several degrees. He has been
travelling through the United States
and Canada for some time, now CIV

cities through which he has passed,
and all together he has had $4,000
pupils.
In his classes here there viii be no
English spoken and long before the
five weeks are gone he claims that his
pupils will be able to speak French
entirely.
Prof Nesbitt has an attractive per-
sonaity and is good conyersationalist,
which will go toward making his
classes much more interesting.

BURGLAR LEAVES
BIG FOOTPRINT
DUST ON WINDOW SILL TELLS
THE STORY
Robber Who Secured Loot From
Grand Avenue Residence Is Be-
ieved to BE the Author of
Many Similar Crimes

The print of a large bare foot in the
dust of the window sill was an ac-
cusing mark of identity left by the
robber who Saturday night entered the
home of Mrs. A. c. Dahaco, 2Ol9 South
Grand avenue, and secured s25 from
the room of Mrs. y. r. Precado.
No one in the house was aroused by
the work OF the burglar, and therefore
no description could be obtained, but
the police have good evidence that the
theft was committed by the same man
who robbed the homes of Mrs. Mary
MacBean. $50 West Twenty first street.
and W. p. Pamm, POOP South Grand
avenue.
All of these houses were entered
within a short period Saturday night,
and all are situated in the SAME neigh
borhood
Investigation has revealed the traces
of bare feet about the premises of these
houses, and this fact, together with
the long chain of circumstantial evil
dence that has been woven about the
unidentified burglar. are considered suf-
ficient TO convict the perpetrator of one
offense as the perpetrator of all three.
1t is believed the man is a negro. as
the one who entered the home of Mrs.
MacBean Saturday night disturbed her
from sleep and although she could not
see him we'll. she says he spoke to her
roughly in warning her TO keep quiet
and that the accent and tone of his
voice convinced her he was a negro,

KILLER GETS STREET SIGNS
Council Requests Board Of Public
Works to Put Up Signs in the
Business District

Councilman S. w. Hitler of the Third
ward feels that he has cause for re-
joicing. Acting on his suggestion, the
council yesterday requested the board
of public works to have street signs
placed on the street intersections in the
business district. These signs were
formerly in place, but when the new
ornamental lamp posts We're put in on
Spring Main, Eill and Broadway the
signs were not so easily attached as
they had been to the wooden posts, and
the signs accordingly came down.
Mr.. Hitler protested against this Wig
orously, but his complaints to the board
or public works did not have the de-
sired effect of replacing the signs. The
recommendation from the council how
ever. is expected TO be effective. Mr.
Hitler is considered the father of the
street signs that have been placed all
over the city, and takes a fatherly in
terest in seeing that tourists are prop
erly directed,

Just five minutes before the departure
of the Limited. on which the owners of
the suit cases were to leave, Officer
Murray noticed Bland running from
the depot with the stolen property.
Murray gave chace. and as he was
not burdened by the load that impeded
the pace of the fugitive, he soon cap
tured the man.
Just as he was on the point of taxi
ing the fellow to the Central station
the owners of the suit cases, G. G.
Lapman and A w. Ellington, ran up
and in breathlcss agitation claimed
their property.
The officer recognized the men and
delivered the suit cases to them With
out parley, but only in time to board
their train, which was already NOV
ing out of the station
City Prosecuting Attorney Eddy said
yesterday that Bland would probably
be given a severe sentence Wednes-
day, as this was not his first offense.

A team of horses driven by D. P.
Ames of 746, East Fourteenth street

from injury however, by jumping
from the vehicle just before the i'm
pact.
A panic occurred in the crowd as the
team tore madly through them, and
many deaths seemed imminent. but all
succeeded in avoiding the runaway.

sued the team, but two more vehicles
were demolished before a capture could
be effected.

Silver Watches

The police department yesterday re-
ceived information of the robbery Of
a Chinese vegetable ranch at Cres-
cent avenue and Sunset boulevard,
which occurred Friday afternoon.

MISSILES ANNOY FIREMAN
dangered by Sticks and Stones
Thrown Through Windows

The family Of w. r. Brown, a fire
man who lives at 2914 Pennsylvania
avenue, have on several occasions been
endangered by someone throwing
rocks and other missiles through the
windows of their home and aimed at
them when they were on the street or
in the yard of their home.
Saturday night their little boy, z
years old, was nearly struck by large
piece of hard wood, which, had it hit
him, would probably have ended his
life, owing to the great force with
which it was thrown.
About week ago Mrs. Browns life
was imperled during the night by a
big rock which flew through the win
dow, scattering the shattered glass
about her and whizzing past her head
with the momentum of bullet
II is feared that someone is seeking
vengeance upon the family, but no one
is known who could have such pur-
pose.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS Be-
MOAN FATE
Principal Issues Ultimstum That VIZ
olation of Order viii Mean Loss
of Class Exercises for OF.
Tending Body

Black sorrow hangs heavily over the
senior classes of Los Angeles high
school.
Through the halls the seniors walk
with bowed heads, bitterly bemoaning
their fate.
Here and there few members of the
glee club are gathered, singing the
plaintive dirge, "Dere am Grape on de
chicken house door"
The officers hurry through the build
ing, weighed down by the Importance
of some heavy burden. In fact, so
engrossed have they become, that one
senior boy was seen to let a pretty girl
pass him without turning to look after
her.
Truly a matter of dire import has
claimed the attention of the two upper
classes
Listening to a council Of the officers,
the dread thiIfg was disclosed. 1.-The
principal has forbidden class rushing"
No more shall the blood of high
school youth stain the hall floors. No
more shall youthful heroes battle with
their rival class before the admiring
eyes of fair ladies. The royal edict
has gone forth, irrevocable as the law
of the Medes and Persians mo more
rushing"
IF either class breaks the rule, the
offending body will be deprived of it's
class exercises, the most awful thing,

WANT BLUE PRINT
FOR SPUR TRACK
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS Is
INSISTENT
Makes Third Request for Council to
Pass Ordinance Compelling Rail-
ways to File Map With
Applications

For the third time yesterday the
board of public works asked the coun-
Gil to pass an ordinance requiring that
all petitions for spur tracks be ac-
companied by a blue print map show
ing the location of the proposed spur
and the route it was proposed to take.
The council has the considera tion of
this ordinance in the committee of the
whole and referred the third commune
cation to that committee yes terday.
The Banning street spur of the
Santa Fe brought forth the third rec
ommendation from the board. In it's
communication to the council the
board said:
1.-THE attention of the board of public
works was called to the fact that the
spur track of the Santa Fe Railway
company on Banning street is con-
structed within a few feet of the curb
on the south side, covering several
blocks, respectively cutting off the
property owners on that side from the
free use of the street. The matter was
at once looked into by the board, and
we find that by the terms of the fran
chise granting this spur, the right to
construct this track along the south
side of the street, instead of in the cen
ter, was expressly granted by said
franchise.
1--WE understand that several of the
property owners are seriously objecting
to this inVa sion of their rights, and we
call your honorable body's attention
to it for the purpose of having this
matter corrected by you if it is possible,
and on the other hand to impress upon
you the proprety and necessity of
requiring a map to accompany all Pc
titions for spur track privileges, said
map to be filed in the city engineers
office; and also that some effective no.
tice be given by posting upon the
ground, so that the property owners
will learn what is asked for and the
manner in which their property will
be affected by the proposed spur.
There is also the additional reason
of placing spur tracks as near to the
center of the street as possible in Or
der to insure proper care of the street
by the street department, and that
those who are in charge of the street
should have some notice as to it's loca-
tion before a franchise for the same
is granted"

Lived More Than Twelve Hours
After Reachinu Hospital

A verdict of accidental death was
returned yesterday morning by the
coroners jury which investigated the
death of Harry Palmer, the young cleo
trician who was killed last Friday night

Almost the entire right side of his
skull was torn off by the blow, and his
brain was exposed, lacerated and bleed
ing freely. He had lived more than
twelve hours after the occurrence of

under which the city is now operating
is wholly inadequate. 1t is so full Of
loopholes that il may be assailed at
almost any point This fact has made

BUSINESS MEN WANT SIGNS
Petition Council to Amend Building
Ordnance to Permit of Swinging
Flash Liuhts

One of the most voluminous petitions
ever received by the city council was
sent to that body yesterday, asking
that the building ordinance be so
amended as to permit of swinging cleo
trio signs, under proper restrictions,
natures to the petition reads like
directory of Los Angeles business
houses.
The building ordinance prohibits
these swinging signs at the request
Of the fire underwriters, who claim
that they interfere with the firemen
in raising ladders and directing water
against the flames. But every member
of the council seems to feel favorable
toward the repeal of that clause of the
ordinance prohibiting the signs, and
as soon as the building committee has
arranged the proper restrictions the
clause Will probably be repealed.
