BABES LEFT ALONE
IN EMPTY HOUSE
ELDER FOUND FEEDING BROTHER
RAW POTATOES
Tots, Two and Five Years Old, De-
serted by Father, Gone to
Bring Back Wife He
Drove Away

Through the aid of the Humane society
| joaquin and Frank Amanti aged and
years, respectively, will be provided with
4 homes, while their father, Joe Amartt
rancher living near The Palms, may be
forced to appear in justice court and an
swer to charges of cruelty treating the
| little fellows.
I Early yesterday morning the little
boys were found by officer Reynolds of
the Humane society sitting hungry and
disconsolate in the unfinished rooms
which they called home. All night they
had been in the home alone, their father
having left the house the previous night
to seek his wife and little daughter,
whom he had driven from home two
weeks ago.
Mrs. Amanti is. with her parents in
Ventura. There the man has gone, but
he is expected to return to his ranch to-
day, when 1t is probable he will be placed
under arrest.
Several days ago neighbors of the
Amanti family telephoned the Humane
society that the man was III treating
his little boys. Officer Reynolds began
an investigation, but owing to the fear
In which Amanti is held In the neigh
borhood he experienced great difficulty in
gaining the desired information.
Yesterday morning Reynolds received
word that Amanti had left home and had
not provided any food for his children.
Reynolds went to The Palms and began
to again make inquiries.
viii Not Work
He learned the history of the, family
since its arrival in that district several
months ago. According to the neighbors
| Amanti has refused to work since NOV
| ing there, but has insisted on his wife
working and supporting him and the three
| children. About two weeks ago he be-
came dissatisfied with the amount OF
money his wife was earning and one
night drove her and her S-year-old daugh-
| ter from home.
/ A few days ago he learned the woman
! had gone to her parents in Ventura
Monday night he announced he was going
| there to- bring her back.
The house in which the family lives has
not stick of furniture in II and the lit
| tie boys were compelled to sleep on the
| floor without covering for their tiny
bodies.
| When they awoke yesterday morning
| they began to cry for something to eat
but as there was nothing in the house
they at last went into the yard and dug
few potatoes, which they ate raw, the
older boy feeding the younger.
That is what they were doing when Of
ficer Reynolds appeared on the scene
| He took the children from the hous,
and brought them to Los Angeles. Her,
they were fed and placed in a home
where they win be maintained until
permanent place is found for them
This morning Reynolds will commuri
cate with the district attorney and en-
deavor to secure a warrant for Amanti'l
arrest.

BALLOON ROUTE EXCURSION

The nine Hawaiian girls and their
chaperone Mrs. E. T. Weatherred, who
are spending week in Los Angeles, had
an enjoyable outing yesterday, consuming
the greater part of the day on the Balloon

The girls and their chaperone are hay-
ing the time of their lives, as compared
with their stay in the northern cities of

| settlement There are three daughters
and Mrs. Blinn.
After this explanation had been made tu
the court Attorney Kase went over the
itemized statement filed by the executor
by the order of the court and asked what
each expenditure had been made for.
Some of the answers were far from graft
flying to him, but they served to enlighten
the court as to the management of the
estate.
One item was of forty odd dollars for
Photographic copies of the will. Meserve
explained that it had been necessary to
copy the will by photographing it, and
that copy had been sent to each of the
heirs and to the three executors in
Mexico.
Not for Public
Then Kase wanted to see a book in the
generals handwriting which was with the
will and is now in the possession of the
executor. 81 wish the court would order
that book produced" he said.
IF there is an order issued we shall in.
troduce that book in evidence" said Me-
serve. Then everybody may see it, But
if any of the heirs or their counsel wish
to see it we shall be glad to show, 1T 10
them. 1 would advise that 1t were not
offered in evidence, for it's contents are
not for the public"
II think from what counsel says there
are some things in the book which out
siders should not be permitted to See,'
said Judge Rives.
That's just it," replied Meserve, 'tand
we are perfectly willing that counsel
should see 1t If he wishes"
1t was then agreed that Kase should see
the book this morning at 8 o'clock The
case will be continued this afternoon at q.

For all these years those who wished
to get book cut of the Los Angeles pub
lie library, which is maintained by the
public to give books to those that wish
them, have been required to prove that
they were taxpayers duly listed on the
last assessment roll of the city or to fur
nish a guarantor similarly registered on
said assessment roll.
No other one regulation of this library
ever caused so many heartburnings
among patrons, and no other one regula-
ton has been more expensive, to the
library.
Librarian Lummis has recommended and
the board has approved the recommends.
ton that any person over 81 years of age
whose name appears in the current city
directory may secure a library card r1sn
application orid ti.sser wyI,sa
,4ar.4o not in the city directory sdias
secure such card by bringing the sigma
ture of a guarantor whose name is in said
directory.
Directory viii Suffice -s::
Instead of having to wait some days for
an attendant to see who has paid taxes,
and how lately a plain Los Angeles direc-
tory on the registry desk will be enough,
and the card will be issued within ten
minutes at the outside.
This regulation, which will save the
library and the public more than half
the time and trouble hitherto expended.
will go into effect as soon as the new
blanks can be printed.
The policy of the library now is to be-
lieve that most people are honest; to
make it as easy as possible to get the
privileges of a public library, and to
save the time and patience of patrons who
think that a public library is a place
from which to get books

SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT.

The News notes with pleasure that a
move ha, been inaugurated at Nash-
vile to nominate southern man as
the Democratic candidate for president
next year. This is the right idea.
The notion that the real brainy Demo
Gratis and those worthy of highest
honors all live in New York or there
abouts. should be dispelled. The
News is for any southern man that
may be named as the Democratic can
didate for president next year. but in
the campaign OF 1912 the News here
and now nominates the Hon }. y San
ders, Governor of Louisiana, as the
Democratic candidate for president OF
the United States, with the abiding
confidence that if nominated he Will
be elected, and the south will for once
at least. be given that place in the
national affairs which she has long
deserved. Sanders would be the big
gest and brainiest man that has
occupied the White House since the
days OF Thomas Jefferson.
'Twould be but tardy justice ana
slow reparation for the crime OF 'l6 to
place "a Louisiana Democrat in the
Pres idential chair, and j. " Sanders
is the man to tittingly wear the laurels
won and then so heroically laid down
in the cause of peace by that noble,
self-sacrfcing patriot, Samuel j..
Tilden.
Or better still. the News suggests
that Sanders should be elected gov
ernor next April, then given the ma
tional Democratic nomination in July
and elected President next November,
upon. no other platform than that he
is the chosen heir of the Democratic
party to the political honors conferred
by it upon Samuel J. Tilden in 1876.

tribunal, and to which Injustice Mr..

THE SMOKER.

| The Third Ward j. Y. Sanders
Club recorded another we'll attend
ed and very enthusiastic meeting
on Wednesday night of the pre-.
sent week. 1t is especially pleas.
ing to note this fact as the cele.
brated Billy Kersands was il
town with his very attractive min.
strel show, and besides, the
weather was bad, a light mist fall
ling throughout the evening. But
it takes a hard rain indeed to dam
pen the enthusiasm of the mem
bers of the Third Ward j. Y. San
ders' Club over the candidacy OF
their illustrious leader.
President Frost called the meet
ing to order, and after reading
and approval of the minutes of
the previous meeting and the
transaction of the other business
Of the Club, the members cast
aside their dignity and the Smoker
was on.
Mr.. 7. NJ. Milling made very
strong speech, offering unanswer-
able arguments why Hon. j. Y.
Sanders should receive the sup
port of the people, his home peo-
pie especially. His arguments
were clean and clear cut and made
deep impression upon his hear
erS
Hon. A. c. Allen was to have
spoken, but, on account of a bad
cold from which he was suffering
excused himself. He lent his
presence, however, to make the
evening a success.
After the speaking refreshments
were served, and when the meet
ing was adjourned until next We'd
nesday evening at eight o'clock,
everyone went home feeling proud
OF his membership in the Club
that bears the name of St. Mary's
great statesman, Hon. j. Y. San
ders.
The Ladies' Of the Episcopal
Church are making preparations
for a grand Bazaar to be given on
Saturday, December 7th. They
are going to a great deal OF trouble
to make this Bazaar a very at
tractive affair. The fancy work
to be placed on sale is all hand
made and very handsome This
is rare opportunity that no one
should miss to lay in supply OF
especially pretty Christmas pre-
sents. The object Of the Bazaar
is to raise money for the new
Episcopal Church to be erected.
Catholics. Jews and Protestants
should all be public-spirited and
lend a helping hand to make the
Bazaar a great success, for every
new building erected in our COM
munity means many steps for
ward on the road to Greater
Franklin.
