SAN FRANCISCO SENDS
HER CHILDREN HERE
SCHOOL BOARD IMPOSES A BRIEF
QUARANTINE
Delay Is Health recaution-Prob-
lem Now Arises, How Can More
Pupils Be Housed in the Crowded
Rooms?

The city health department, in con-
junction with the board of education,
has declared a partial quarantine
against San Francisco school children.
A rule has been adopted that none of
the refugees shall be admitted to the
city schools until they have been in
Los Angeles at least twenty-one days.
This is made necessary, the health de-
partment asserts, in order to prevent
possible contagion.
A number of persons brought San
Francisco children to the health office
yesterday, seeking permits for them to
start to school at once. All were de
MED, although the children were given
careful examinations for contagious
diseases
Members of the board of education
estimate that at least 500 children will
be sent down from San Francisco to
finish the school term In Los Angeles.
Parents are already sending their chill
dren to Los Angeles friends and rela-
tives to be educated until schools can
be erected in the north
This gives the board Of education q
serious problem to consider. Already
in some districts the schools are so
badly crowded that only half-day ses-
sions can be held. and while Los An
geles children are receiving but half
the educational training they are en-
titled to a large number OF San Fran
cisco's children must also be cared for
for time.

HIS OWN TRAP
VETERAN ExoNERATES POLICE
WHO FIRED
Aged Restaurant Keeper Sleeps at His
Establishment to Catch Burglars
and a Fusillade Follows That
Ends in BIoodshed

Michael MCGUIRE, the aged restaurant
keeper, who was shot early Sunday
morning by Patrolman Henderson, who
mistook him for g. burglar was removed
to his home, 437 Horticultural avenue,
yesterday.
The bullet passed through the flesny
part of the right leg, below the knee.
The surgeons said that MCGUIRE would
recover. Although seventy-three years
old, the veteran of the civil war is in
excellent physical condition and in COM
parison with wounds that he saw dur
ing the war, says he considers his a
mere pin prick.
He eXonerated the officer who shot
him, and while at the receiving hospital
excited the admiration of the at
tendants by his courage and phil
osophical way in which he regarded
the accident.
The shooting had its humorous fea-
lures. MCGUIRE knew that someone
was stealing food from his little restau-
rant, which faces the entrance to AgIi-
cultural park, and he determined TO
catch the thief if possible.
He slept in his restaurant Saturday
night with his trusty army revolver by
his side.
When Patrolman Henderson, accom-
panied by two acquaintance, approached
the building, Mcclure was awakened by
the sound of voices. When he saw the
CLEAN of a flashlight at the window, he
supposed that the expected burglar was
there and fired shot.
The two men ran away. Mcclure
rushed to the door and fired several
times at the fleeing figures.
Ptarolman Henderson, mistaking the
restaurant keeper for burglar, brought
him down with a bullet through his
leg.
1t took some time to explain the
misadventure to the satisfaction OF
both sides, but everything was cleared
up and Mcguire is now at home nursing
very painful limb.

instead of the commonly employed alco-
hol, both for extracting and preserving

SKULLS ARE SHEEPS;
DETECTIVES UNRAVEL MYSTERY

the chastity find and an italian expert
on Black Hand nomenclature was
taken along.
The detectives departed with an air
OF mystery and returned to report that
an owner of a flock Of sheep left the
bleaching skulls OF some Of his flock
within the deserted house.
1t could not be learned who had
given the information which resulted
in fruitless Journey for the sleuths.
ut Is another case of an excited cit
izen making work for us officers" said
Detective Zeigler resignedly. "One
has no Idea of the number Of calls that
come to us of a similar nature. OF
course we are glad to help unravel any
mystery, but the mysterious part of
this story was the ignorance of anat-
omy on the part of the person who
thought that house contained a collec-
tion of human skulls"
1.-THE human skull storw deserves to
go down in police history with the re-
port Of dead body being found I'm a

of the policemen.

person or persons and that his body
was then carried to the house ana
placed on the bed in the position It was
found. The fact that there was prac-
tically no blood stains on the sheets
is used as circumstantial evidence 70
that theory.
The sherif's officers, alleging that If
Mrs. Storrs did not actually have q
hand in the shooting of her husband
she knows more about 1t than she mas
yet told, are holding her for further
examination.
Mrs storrs has many friends who
believe that Storrs killed himself In an
effort to bluff his wife into showing
greater affection for him. Intimate
friends of the fiery little Bnglishman
knew that his constant complaint was
that his wife was too cool toward him,
although they say she always showed
more than ordinary love for him. IL is
alleged that on several occasions Storrs
threatened to kill himself unless his
wife caressed him and called him nice
names, and It is thought that in an
attempt to scare his wife as he had
often done before Storrs might have
gone too far in his recklessness and
shot himself.
Until the legal holidays have been
declared at an end Mrs. Storrs will be
compelled to remain in jail, as ar
raignment cannot take place on legal
holiday When the arraignment Is over
Mrs. Storrs will probably secure bail
money, and then IL is understood her
attorneys will institute habeas corpus
proceedings
In the meanwhile she will remain in
Jail in the best apartments of the
matrons ward.

Committees Working for New Build

and Renewed Effort to Get
subscriptions Is On

Evidence of the hustling abilities of
the members Of the Young Mems
Christian association is found in the
returns made to the office of the
executive building campaign committee
Of subscriptions to the building fund.
At the beginning Of the campaign a
membership committee, composed of
fifty OF the most active and aggressive
members of the association, was formed
for the purpose of soliciting the mem-
bershlp OF the organization and the
young men of the city generally for
pledges. To date this committee has
turned In subscriptions of more than
$4,000, and in the next three weeks Il
VIII make an earnest effort to double
this amount at least.
The membership committee is divided
into ten groups, each in charge Of q

the actual members Of the association II
has divided the business part of the
city into districts with view to reach

ufacturing establishments in Los An
geles.
Theory Well Founded
The comittee proceeded on the theory
that many of these young men, even
though they were not yet members of
the association, would be interested In
this work and that this theory was well
founded is seen in the large number
of subscriptions to the building fund
which have been received from this
source.
The raising of more than $4,000 in
less than a month has meant an
enormous amount of work on the part
of the individual members of the com
mittee. Occasionally a man was found
who was willing to make a good-sizcd
subscription but instances of this kind
were exceedingly rare. and the COM
mittee was compelled to depend largely
upon pledges ranging from one dollar
upward. This has put the hustling
powers of the members to the test but
the results show that they have been
equal to the emergency and that when
the final reports are made the mem
bership committee will be found to have
acquitted itself in a highly creditable
manner.

subscriptions received by the member
