Acted as Highway

age respectively, were held for trial
yesterday after preliminary examina-
tion before Justice Summerfield on the
charge of highway robbery.

Kinoshito on the night of June 20 and
robbing him of $7.35.
With the aid of an interpreter, the
complaining witness yesterday testified
that he was driving to Los Angeles
from Tropico with load of strawber-
ries when the three commanded him al
the point of a revolver to stop and get
down from the wagon.
IT get down from my wagon" said
the witness, "and that boy there (point-
ing at English) say, Give me your
money or I kill!'
when say no he make me hold UP
my hands, and the other boy there
Indicating Fitzsimmons) he put his
hands in my pockets and take my
money"
When asked what the third boy, Kyle
had to do with the robbery, the witness
replied that Kyle had searched the
wagon in quest of more money that he
supposed they thought he had hidden
there.
On cross-examination the witness de-
clared that although it was quite dark
at the scene of the robbery he had taken
a good look at the boys and could not
be mistaken as to their identity.
The bail was fixed at $500 each, in
default of which they were committed
to the county Jail.

day that he would ask the court to
dismiss the cases against the women
when they came to trial.
He said, "Mrs. Stull is labor1ng under
false impressions. She may have a
right to the premises but 1t is not
right for her to go into the house and
disturb the family of man like Mr..
Cullen. She has been removed from
the house and that is all that was
wanted. The supreme court Will settle
the point of ownership of the house
later"

GETS NO LIQUOR;
PRISONER DIES
Enforced Abstinence from Intoxicating
Drink Is Reason Assigned by
Physicians for Death of
Jail Inmate

George Cosgrove, a. prisoner held in
the city Jail on a charge of grand
larceny, died in the receiving hospital

cts. He is said to have been partially

right when put into jail.

delirium and was taken to the receiv-
ing hospital on the jailer's order. He
raved all night and in spite of all the
doctors could do for him got no better.
About s o'clock yesterday morning he
died after a night of intense suffering.
Taller McAuley says that Cosf1rove
has been a petty. offender for a long
time. but the charge of grand larceny
was the most serious that had been
placed against him. A short time ago
he was released from jail after serving
100 days.
The police doctors say that the delir-
iun tremens was brought on by his
enforced abstinence from intoxicants
while in the Jail Sunday and Monday

MOTORMAN HELLO
FOR ACCIDENT
JUSTICE STEPHENS RENDERS
DECISION
Man in Charge of Eagle Rock Car
Which Was Overturned Must
Answer to the Higher
Court

After preliminary examination last
ing several days, Justice Albert Lee
Stephens yesterday held John Harris
for trial in the superior court on the
charge of manslaughter.
Harris was motorman of the Eagle
Rock car that on, June 8 jumped the
track and turned over at the corner of
Eagle Rock and Central avenues, kill
ing two of the passengers.
In the decision handed down yester-
day Justice Stephens said:
"At the conclusion of the argument
Monday counsel for both sides ex
pressed satisfaction at my suggestion
of visiting the scene of the wreck, and
1 have acted on that suggestion, care
fully applying the knowledge to the
evidence submitted at the examination,
taking into consideration, of course,
which were of permanent quality.
Now, it is not within the province
of the magistrate sitting at a prelim-
mary examination to take unto him
self the functions of trial court, and
where there is substantial conflict Of
evidence think it is the theory of the
law that the cause should be submitted
to higher court.
Orders Motorman Held
"But, while that will be the order in
this case, 1 would desire that the gen.
eral public understand that the max
ing of such order in no wise determines
the innocence or guilt of the defend
ant: that he still has the benefit of the
presumption that the law gives him
that he is an innocent man. The reg
ular order will be entered.
"It appearing to me that the offense
! mentioned In the deposition, to wit,
lmanslaughter, has been committed, and
that there is sufficient cause to believe
that the within named John Harris is
| guilty thereof, I order that he be held
| to answer to the charge, and that he
be admitted to bail in the sum of $4,000. y
AS there had been $4,000 cash bail
| furnished pending the preliminary ex-
animation, it was only necessary to
make out a new bond, the bondsmen
signifying their willingness to serve
again.
The grand jury last week exonerated
| the railway company of all response
bility for the accident.

Laundry Is Destroyed and Blaze
Communicates to Surround
ing Property

Damage estimated to be $4,000 was
caused by fire which originated in
the rear of Kim Wings laundry at 1916
West Pico street yesterday morning
shortly after o'clock. The fire con-
tinued burning for nearly two hours
after it was discovered and only quick
work on the part of the fire department
prevented a much greater loss to the
rest of the property in the block.
The first man to see the fire was a
teamster driving on Pico street. He
called to Samuel Boiler, who turned
in the alarm.
from the f1imsy laundry building to
Wiley & Wilson's feed and coal yard.
The hay and wood stored on the prem
ises quickly took fire and soon the
blaze spread over the big yard.
The home of G.. w. Odell,was threat
ened by the fire for some time. The
firemen left the laundry to burn un-
checked and endeavored to save Odell 9
home Their efforts were only partially
successful, for the entire north part
of the house was destroyed and about
$500 worth of furniture was ruined.

street owned the building in which Kim
Wing ran his laundry Mrs. Aubury
Montgomery owned several barns that
were in the rear of Bender's bakery,

them were almost overcome.

objects to Charter

Instead Of following instructions, .
said she, "the committee got congress
to pass bill giving the association a
new charter which included set of by
laws. This has proved extremely OBJ
jectionable in many ways. 1t not only
continues the life directors, but there
are more of them than there are state
directors. The five trustees elected by
the directops have more power than the
present constitution allows. They are
the custodians of the $4,000 fund and
have sole initiative in expenditures.
The directors have none.
"The educational policy is controlled
by national council which practically
is separate from the association. This
council manages to perpetuate itself. In
1894 Frank Fitzpatrick of Boston, agent
M the American Book company, was
bfesident of the council"
Miss Haley asserted that the principal
author of the situation was Newton G.

penitentiary term for embezzlement and
forgery. Dougherty for several years
was an officer and leader in the asso-
citation.

New York.-By devising a torpedo
propelled by steam generated in the
burning of high explosives carried
within it in concentrated form, Hiram
Maxim has concluded experiments
from which he asserts that the range
of naval torpedoes will be doubled and
naval warfare revolutionized.
To meet the demand that torpedoes
must have effective range equal to the
gunfire to which the attacking torpedo
boat would be subjected, Mr.. Maxim
burns motorite, a new explosive, to
generate steam at high pressure
and by this means the regulation naval
torpedo is made much more efficient

The hlaher Civilizations.

Recent events have made impera.
tive some consideration Of the ethics
OF giving testimony. Every one Dc.
spises a talebearer. Even the children
call such person 'tattletale," and
justifiably look down upon him. The
informer Is a spy, breaker OF good
faith, violator of the sacred laws OF
hospitality. Loyalty to family and to
friends is the cement which holds so
ciety together. Trouble comes when
men act upon mistaken view OF what
constitutes loyalty to society at large,
that society which Is but an aggrega-
ton OF families and friends. The ex'
lstence Of orderly government depends
on the observance OF certain laws, un.
punished disobedience to which pro-
duces anarchy. When crime is commit
ted, every person with knowledge OF
II is under moral obligation, when
asked, TO tell what he knows. In some
cases the obligation extends so far as
TO require him to volunteer informa-
ton against his friends. The mainte-
nance OF order and safe government
Is OF so much greater Importance than
the protection of law-breaking friends,
that the state Justly conceals the
crime or who assists the guilty to es-
cape. This rule ia the result OF long
experience, and It's justice Is nowhere
disputed. Yet, in practice. 1t ia diff.
cult TO enforce it, says Youths Com
panlon, because of the prevalence OF
false standards growing out OF abhor-
renee of the informer. There Is no
high school principal or college presi-
dent who has not come in contact
with these false standards In his at
Tempt to maintain discipline. There
Is scarcely large city in the country
in which members of the police force
have not at some time or another been
sctuated by belief in the mistaken
notion. In the army and the navy a
similarly false idea of the obligations
of company loyalty has many times
confronted the commanding officers,
as II the men regarded 1t as OF greater
Importance that half a dozen friends
should be saved from the consequences
Of their misdeeds than that the body
of national defenders should be pre-
served from those who would under
mine the foundations OF all orderly
institutions.
