HEALTH OFFICER
GETS MORE AIDS
M0REASSISTANTS AND NURSES
VOTED DR.. POWERS
Schools, Restaurants and Delicatessen n
Stores and Tenements Will Be
Reached Quickly as
Possible

In keeping with the growth of the
city especially since the annexation
of the San Pedro shoestring strip, the
| health department will enlarge its staff
of employees.
A second assistant health officer, two
sanitary inspectors and two school
nurses are proposed at once Prob
ably another milk inspector and an
other meat inspector will also be re-
quired soon.
Resolutions to this effect were adopt-
ed at the meeting OF the board of health
yesterday.
The council will be asked to author
ize the employment of five of these
at once. Health Officer Powers said
to the board:
We need increased help in the sani-
tary force and will want to reach the
schools, the deliCatessen stores. the
tenements and restaurants efficiently
soon
I'VE need school nurses badly. as
they help us to prevent any infectious
troubles gaining a foothold among the
chlldren. one nurse now is obliged to
look after sixty schools. Two more are
needed urgently. These nurses visit the
homes of suspected children. inculcate
cleanliness and other precautions and
often by diagnosis discern danger.
they are not supposed to do diagnosis
but they can call attention to suspected
cases. In the east they have corps
of these nurses in the schools"
The pupils parents can and do call
in physicians in suspected cases, do
they not?" asked DR.. Dixon.
Yes, when they can afford it. but
we want to protect the other pupils as
we'll as the sick Ones" continued DR..
Powers.
The appointment of n second assist =
ant to DR.. Powers seemed to meet with
general favor. These officials will be
charged with the special duty of look
ing after the health of children in the
schools.
Appointment of a first assistant
health officer and bacteriologist was
laid over till the next meeting.

.SCHOOLBOY IS
SERIOUSLY HURT
KICK OF PLAYMATE lNFLICTS
INJURIES
SeIf-Government Committee Unani.
mously Votes to Expel Walter
Moore, Charged With AS
sault on Ellis Taylor

Seriously injured by a kick in the
groin, little Ellis Taylor, high
school boy, lies at his home at 233 East
Adams street seriously injured, while
his alleged assailant, Walter Moore,
has been expelled from school by the
unanimous vote of the self-government
committee.
The trouble between Moore and Tay-
lor is said to date back some time,
when the two boys belonged to the
same fraternity, the Alpha Pts. Young
Moore was vice president of the chap
ter. The chapter was dissolved by the
struggles of two factions and Moore,
who was opposed by Taylor, is believed
by high school students to have held a
grudge against the smaller boy.
Last week while group of boys
were on the school grounds some of
them kept striking Moore on the back
till he became angry When he turned
around young Taylor was laughing
and evidently mistaking him as one of
his tormentors, the big fellow is said
to have made a lunge at him and
kicked him in the abdomen.
The smaller boy sank to the ground,
NlltlIlllS III pdlu his younger DrOJnel,
who was standing near, leaped upon
Moore, and in a short time Ellis Tay-
lor also arose, and although he could do
nothing more he hung on his assailant.
Several boys who had seen the entire
affair showed a disposition to help the
little fellows and affairs might have
gone badly for Moore had not Stanley
Mitchell arrived on the scene and
separated them.
The injured lad was at once taken to
his home, where he has been confined
to his bed ever since. complaint
was entered against Moore, but action
was afterward taken out of the hands
of the civil authorities
The high school authorities have not.
however, been so lenient with the Of
fender. At a meeting of the self-gov-
ernment committee held Tuesday night
the twenty-five members present voted
unanimously to eXpel Moore from the
school.
In all high school difficulties the di-
rectors of the student body are the
final court of appeal and it is to this
tribunal that young Moore expects to
make his last plea for leniency. From
expressions of members of this body
yesterday he will have little more show
than with the self-government officials.

YOUNG MAN TELLS
OF HIS INSANITY
LUCID IN DAYTIME, CRAZY AT
NIGHT
EpiIeptic Suffers Three Attacks While
Being Examined by Commission.
Fears He viii Do People
Harm

one of the most peculiar cases in
the history of the local insanity court
came to light yesterday when Charles
Richards, neat appearing young
man, was ordered committed to Patton
asylum for the insane by the COM
mission in department two of the su-
perior court.
Richards is as sane as any man dur
ing the day, but at night he is a raw
ing maniac, requiring the attention of
several guards, who on more than
one occasion he has roughly handled.
His afhiction is epileptic insanity,
and yesterday, according to his state
ment in court, he had his first attack
of trouble during daylight. He was
brought into court closely watched by
three officers.
He had just taken a seat before the
commission when his eyes became a
CLASSY color, his muscles twitched and
as the guards threw themselves on him
and pinioned his arms he began to
struggle
Has Two Other Attacks
In a few moments he had recovered
and the examination continued after
Richards had stated that the attack
in court was the first attack in day
light that he had ever been subject
ed to-
Three times during his examination
he was taken with the attacks and as
many times he was overpowered by
officers before he had a chance to get
away or cause a disturbance. AS he
came from under the influence of each
attack he asked his guards pardon for
any trouble he might have caused
them.
During the day Richards is ordinari-
ly perfectly sane. He has been al
lowed the freedom of the county hos
pital and helped in many ways in at
tending to patients more sorely afflict-
ed than himself. He understands Just
how far his mind has been wrecked
and it is pitiful to hear him assure
his friends that he is aware of the
progress of the disease and it's hold
upon him. He is also in constant fear
that he may injure his friend, Tom
Quinn, a deputy sheriff who has been
taking care of him at the hospital.
He told the court that he knew that
frequently he might hurt people when
he was having one of his spells.
Attacks Come With Darkness
AS soon as darkness comes the young
man becomes nervous and cannot
sleep. His attacks come to him some
times as often as fifteen times during
the night and last from a period of
one minute to five. When he is af-
fiicted in that manner he has the
strength of several men and fights like
a maniac.
AS soon as day breaks he becomes
quiet and goes to sleep. Yesterday,
according to his own statement and
the statement of his guards. he suf-
fered his first daylight attack.
Richards is an indianapolis boy, 90
years of age, and he had been in Los
Angeles only short time before be-
ing arrested because of his peculiar
actions The insanity complaint fol-
lowed.
He appears to be fairly we'll educat-
ed and told the court that he had been
steward of a big Indianapolis hotel.
He gave his sisters name as Mrs.
Charles Brady, Illinois avenue, Indian
apolis.
His night attacks began thirteen
years ago and they have continued fire.
quently since that time. His case is
regarded as probably hopeless.
