MUST CHARGE 1T
UP TO EXPERIENCE
Park Commissioners Have No Legal
Right to Pay Damages to Vic
tim of Freshly Tinted
Bench

No damages can legally be claimed
from the city for the ruined dress sus-
tanned by young woman who inadvert-
emily sat on freshly painted park bench
in Eastlake park.
Such was the decision the city attorney
rendered yesterday to the park commits
sioners, who were willing to pay for a
new dress If they legally had the right to.
Miss Nellie Gunther was the young wo-
man who met with the distressing mis-
hap last month, due to some mischievous
lads
They had switched the fresh paint"
signs in such way that Miss Gunther
had no hesitancy in seating herself when
she noticed that some benches bore
placards and others not. She naturally
supposed that all dangerous benches had
been properly marked.
Thus she ruined a new silk dress, for
the dyers told her the paint spots could
not be taken out without danger of tear
ing the fabric.
Secretary r. Mutually will officially
notify the young lady today, at the same
time expressing the boards regrets.
II this claim were paid. even legally,
It would establish a precedent for many
other persons to demand similar COM
pensation from the city.
All park foremen have. however, been
instructed to watch for similar pranks
by boys.

RAFAEL M. eALLEeos
Peruvian viii Teach Latin, Spanish,
French, italian and Portuguese.
To Lecture cn Early Cali
fornia Missions

Rafael M. Gallegos. who for the past
languages in this city, will reopen his
school today at s16 South Broadway. Gal
legos is well versed in Castilian Spanish
and 1t is as the teacher of that musical
tongue that he is more especially known
here.
Senior Gallegos originally comes from
Lima, Peru, where he finished his educa-
tion and became professor of the Lima
institute. He has also held other posi-
tions as professor at the universities of
Ecuador and Santiago. Chile, and Is per-
sonally acquainted with the presidents of
several South American republics. A
number of years ago he made a trip to
Spain, and had occasion to meet the
present monarch of that country A
friendship grew between Gallegos and the
youthful king, and since his return to
Los Angeles the educator has been the
fortunate recipient of a number of per-
sonal letters from Alfonso XIII.
Besides the Spanish language Mr.. CAL
legos also teaches Latin, French, Portu-
guese and Italian. He has engaged four
assistants to help him carry on his les
sons, as within the past year the mem
bership of his classes has increased. Any
of the foregoing languages save perhaps
the Latin Mr.. Gallegos promises to make
his pupil familiar with in the short time
of three months. So far he counts among
his pupils members of some of the first
families of the city.
During the latter part of this month
and the earlier portion of the coming
month Mr.. Gallegos will make lecture
tour of California at the request of Bishop
Conaty. He will take as his topic 'The
Founding of the Early California Mis-
sions"

this point closed the program A few
minutes were devoted to business, after
which Miss Wadleigh spoke delightfully."-

heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-

much better than by the use of alcohol,

CIGARETTES HARMLESS
IF PROPERLY USED

That cigarettes. so far as he has OBJ
served in years spent on the bench,
are not ordinarily injurious TO either
minors or adults, If used moderately,
is declared by Magistrate John b.
Mayo. presiding over the famous chill
dren's court in New York.
THE deleteriOus consequences visited
on so many tobacco users are purely,
in the great majority OF cases, trace
able 10 the abuse rather than the use
of the weed he said. Whether il be
in the form of cigarettes or otherwise,
the moderate use of tobacco SO far as
I have observed, has rarely been in
furious in itself It's abuse is entirely
relative to the individual, one person
being peculiarly subject to the mar
cotic effect, where another may be bene-
fitted. OF possibly thousands Of lads
who have come under my notice as
cigarette smokers, l recall no specific
cases where a boy has been morally
or mentally weakened By tobacco alone.
Tobacco is so habitually made a scape-
goat as TO be notorious, whereas, in
Iact cigar and cigarette smoking even
20 excess is generally the result and
never the cause of viciOusness and in
sanity.
4 do not presume" Magistrate Mayo
emphasized. Ito be an alienist or even
an expert in such matters. but so far as
my observations have gone the eases
III which young men and boys have be
come moral mental or physical weak
lsnss have seldom or never been due L
cigarettes, Insanity can never Ot
charged, in my opinion, to the use oil
tobacco without other contributing
causes. I should say however, that tht
best cigarettes are less apt to be harm
ful than those of inferior quality. Drink
too much coffee and YOU pay the pen
atty lust as you must by smoking Of
doing anything else immOderately.'
