PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN
CONTESTED CONDITION
Lack Of Room at Several Places
Causes Halliday System
to Be Neces-
sary

The halliday session system which has
been in vogue for several years past
owing to the congested Conditions of the
school houses of the districts about the
city, was inaugurated again yesterday in
as many as seven schools, the situations
prevalent necessltating such course to
be adopted by The board Of education.
The public schools which were affected
by the introduction of the half session
system are for the most two schools
about Twenty-fourth street and East
Vernon, and the rest are located in the
Eagle Rock, Avenue 81, Logan street,
Magnolia and Fifty-second street school
buildings.
The overcrowded condition has at
tracted the attention of the board of
education and immediate efforts will be
made to erect temporary buildings in
such localities where this is found ne
cessary.
| Assistant Superintendent Monlux made
| a statement to that effect yesterday and
| it is thought that the half session sys-
tenn will be only continued for a short
time at most.
| Even at the Los Angeles high schoo
| there was a tendency to overcrowdet
conditions, but this will be relieved a!
soon as the new science building II
thrown open and properly fitted up. A
the Polytechnic high school similar con
ditions prevailed, but as soon as the
principals and teachers of the various
high schools can arrange the class sit
uation properly it is expected that this
| trouble will be rectified.

When the hearing of the petition ask
ing for the removal of F. A. Hartman
as executor of the estate of the late

Judge Rives in the probate court yes
terday counsel for the petitioner, Mrs. A.
G.. Blinn, stated to the Court that his
client was willing to have Mr.. Hartman
continue and would abandon the contest
of his conduct of the estate.
1t was stipulated that in abandoning
the contest the widow of the testator of
the estate expressly reserves the right to
bring further charges of negligence
against the executor should the circum-
stances warrant such action.
In the accounting ordered by Judge
Rives Hartman showed he had been
economical in his management of the
affairs of the estate and also showed
the attorney for Mrs. Blinn book in the
handwriting of General Andrade which
had considerable bearing on the case.
The information CLEANED from the book
is said to have been the cause of the
withdrawal of the petition.
