NIGHT SCHOOL TO
OPEN WEDNESDAY
Best Institution of the Kind in the
World Will Be Started by Promi-
nent Los Angeles
Educators

What Los Angeles educators describe
as the finest school of it's kind in the
world will be opened Wednesday night
when the new evening high school opens
its doors at the Polytechnic high
school.
For nearly three months DR.. L. C.
Moore and others who were interested
in giving the working boys and girls q
chance have been perfecting plans for
the opening of the school, which was
first proposed by Prof. Moore.
The teachers will be recruited from
the faculty of Polytechnic and Los An
geles high school, and many of them
will do the work gratis. Experts in
the various courses have been selected,
and the ambitious young man or wom-
an who desires better education will
have every facility offered with which
the young people who attend during
the day are favored.
The school will be opened five nights
a week. The courses embraced cover
a wide field and take in science. the
classics and manual and workshop
training.
No age limit is placed on the appli-
cants. Pupils must be at least 10
years of age, but they may be as much
older as they desire. In fact, IL is the
desire of the management that the
young men and women of the city
whose education has of necessity been
Interrupted while they entered the fields
of business to earn their living shall
take advantage of the opportunity Of
fered to go on with their education.

WOMAN IS NOT
DROWNED IN LAKE
AMATEUR DETECTIVES ARE
DlSMAYED
Mrs. Bessie Young Working as a
Domestic in Doctors Home.
Is Restored to Her
Husband

Mrs Bessie Young has been found.
She was not occupying prominent
position in the center of the lake i'm
Eastlake park, neither was she on her
way to san Francisco to view the ruins
of her former home. Instead she was
quietly filling the position of cook at
the home of DR.. Earl Caswell, 1923 Rich
street.
Mrs. Young is the woman who dis
appeared from the home of her young
husband, 1850 West Twenty-fourth
street. Saturday afternoon and since
that time amateur Sherlock Holmeses
have been running down all manner
of clues, leading them a merry chase
from the lake at Eastlake park to
tramps over the surrounding country.
According to the story told by her
husband, the young woman was slight
ly demented. She passed through the
disaster at San Francisco, and he stated
the catastrophe had unhinged her
mind. She had left three children, the
youngest a babe in arms, behind her,
and he stated he would be compelled
to give those little ones away if she
was not found.
He said it was possible she had
gone to San Francisco, but he thought
1t more likely she had harmed herself,
and as she had asked what car to take
to get to Eastlake park, those who were
on her track at once thought she had
gone there to drown herself.
The truth is that when Mrs. Young
left home she went direct to the en-
ployment office of Mrs. Hawley and APP
piled for a position. She was sent to
the residence of DR.. Caswell who re-
Gently arrived from Buffalo. There she
was put to work as a cook, and gave
the name of Mrs. Bessie Graham.
Yesterday DR.. Caswell heard of the
disappearance of Mrs. Young, and was
given description of the woman. He
recognized his cook as the one wanted,
and Immediately notified the police.
officers were sent to his residence and
Mrs. Young was brought to the police
station. There she admitted her iden-
tity, but refused to state why she had
left home. Her husband was then no
titled of the fact that his wife was
found, and at once came to the station.
The couple greeted each other with
affection and then departed for their
home together.
The couple have three children, the
youngest a babe in arms. Mrs. Young
is about % years of age and her hus-
band is about the same age.
The woman gave no reason for leav-
ing her home.
