FIND GIRL IN
POWER OF MEN
FIREMEN NOTIFY THE POLICE,
WHO TAKE ACTION
Slender Young Woman Kept In SUBJ
lection Is Held on Nominal Charge,
as Are Her Former
Detainers,

Bessie Twohig, slender pale-faced
girl of 16, was yesterday arrested by
Sergeant McKeag and officer Kincaid
of the Eastside sub-station and taken
to the central station, where she was
placed in custody for alleged vagrancy.
Vagrancy is only a sham charge for
holding the girl, however, as 1t was
later learned from the police that she
had been found to be living in slavery
with two men giving their names as
Gus Myers and t. j. Carleton, who
were arrested shortly after the girl
VS. taken in charge.
The girls subsection has been known
and commented on in the neighbor-
hood OF Avenue Nineteen and Pasa-
dena avenue, where she was found, but
either from fear or unconcern no one
took the trouble to report it to the po-
lice.
Firemen In the nearby engine house
had been watching the peculiar man.
ner of the trio of mysterious persons,
and several days ago made an investi-
cation. They discovered the girl liv-
ing in a room with the two men and
her manner and actions when ques-
toned incated that she was being held
contrary to her will.
The discovery was reported by the
firemen to officers of the Eastside SUBJ
station yesterday and an arrest Of the
girl and the men followed.

SAYS SHE WAS SWINDLED
Woman Reports to City Prosecutor
That Real Estate Man Has
Defrauded Her

Miss Kate Courtney yesterday re-
ported to the city prosecuting attorney
that she had been swindled out of $15
by o. C. Randall of S11 San Julian
street, whom she says obtained $16
from her as the first payment on the
purchase of a house and lot at S11
San Julian street.
The conditions embodied in the con-
tract upon which Randall accepted the
money from Miss Courtney were, the
woman says. to the effect that if she
was not able to keep up the monthly
payments he would refund the amount
which she had already deposited.
When Miss Courtney found herself
unable to meet the regular monthly
dues she asked for the return of the
amount she had paid. She says she
was met with rebuff from Randall, and
has been constantly put off every time
she has asked Randall to give her the
rebate. An effort will be made by the
prosecuting attorney to induce Ran
dali to refund the money to Miss
Courtney, but If he refuses to do so,
prosecution proceedings will probably
be begun,

OUTSIDERS DID
THE BRUSH WORK
HIGH SCHOOL AUTHORITIES
GET CONFESSION
No Member Of Senior B Class Perpe-
trated Painting Prank, It Ap.
pears-suspensIon Awaits
Guilty Ones

Developments yesterday proved that
the senior classes of Los Angeles high
school had not yet reached the end of
their troubles
With the confession of two bays late
Wednesday night to the painting of the
building, the pupils fondly hoped that
the previous painting Of a week ago
would be forgotten. But such is not
the case.
While the first affair was a compare
lively innocent prank, the school au-
thorities demand that the youngsters
be found, and both classes are exert
ing themselves to produce the guilty
ones.
The settlement of the second paint
ing was the occasion of some fine
amateur detective work on the part of
the president of the B class and several
other seniors.
The time set by the principal for
voluntary confession expired at 8
Wednesday afternoon, and at that
time the guilty ones had not yet come
forward. But the class had sufficient
information to prove their guilt and at
late hour that night they were COM
PEELED to Confess"
Not Senior
The "cOn1eSSlOn QlSclOSeu a TeIlldrk-
able state of affairs. Neither of the
boys who had done the painting was
a member of either senior class.
For some ineXplicable reason the
youngsters had taken it upon them
selves to paint the numerals of the
higher class on the building without
the knowledge of either senior class.
Their reason for doing so is a mystery.
The entire school is said to have
known that five senior boys who had
been implicated in some class pranks
committed previously were in danger
of expulsion because of the former
painting, but in the face of this-seem-
ingly with the intention of causing
their dismissal-the two lower class
students disoheyed faculty and board
and painted their alma mater with yell
low and white senior numerals.
Among the senior classes feeling runs
high. An A said last night:
"It's bad enough to have the lower
classes interfering in our affairs, but
when it comes to deliberate attempt
to cause the dismissal of five of our
best boys we'd like to have a chance
at them"
But the chance will not present itself
this term
At a "star chamber session" of the
high school committee yesterday after
noon 1t was decided to usspend the
guilty ones it is thought for the rest
of the term.

That Henry e. Huntington will in

through admissions made by Hunting
ton officials.
The proposed route is from the end
of the Interuhban company's West

thence to Hollywoodecemetery and Mel
rose avenue. The plans at present re
not contemplate going beyond that
point.
There is talk, too. of extending the

These rumors have been strengthened
by the efforts of property owners who
want additional rapid transportation
facilities for convenience sake and be-
cause of the augmented values they
bring to real estate.

Contractor Claims He Made an Error
In His Figures on Sewer
Work

A. C. Pusich yesterday asked the
board of public works to release him
from the contract for laying sewers
on Avenue 81 and adjoining streets.
Pusich bid $4,000. but yesterday told
the board that he had made mistake
in taking the engineers figures. as he
had based his bid on single scale,
whereas the engineer had drawn the
profile on double scale.
M. l.. Hostetter. who also bid on this
work, offered to do It for $4128, and as
there is but $12S difference between the
bids of Pusich and Hostetter the board
of public works is not inclined to grant
the request Contractors, when they
find they will not be able to make the
profit that they expected, often say
that the single and double scale has
confused them. and they have often
been warned to be closely observant by
the board.
