BOYS FINED FOR
PETTY OFFENSES
Young cuIprits Plead Guilty to Riding
Motorcycle and Too Previous
Fourth of July CeIe-
bration

Saturday was juvenile day in Justice
Roses police court, and contrary to
precedents of the last month all except
one of the youthful culprits were made
to pay the penalty of their misdeeds.
Harry Smith was the first lad to be
brought before the judge. He was
charged by Patrolman Humphreys
with riding motorcycle on West
Seventh street in violation of the law,
which says that no person under 16
years of age shall operate motor
vehicle. Harry's father said he hae
told the boy to ride the machine only
after policeman had told him the boy
could ride 1t without being arrested.
He had never heard of the law which
said young boys should not ride or
operate automobiles or motorcycles.
The Justice fined the boy SIS, not as a
punishment, but as a reminder that he
must not run a motorcycle again until
he was over 16 years of age.
A premature desire to celebrate the
Fourth caused Francis Sheehan to be
taken to the bar of Justice by patrol
man from the east side.
Francis said he would not be IL until
December and so was still subject
of the Juvenile court. He was shoot
ing torpedoes on the sidewalk on East
lake avenue between Manitou and
Baldwin When he saw the policeman
he hid the explosives and
pretended to know nothing about 1t.

UNITED RAILROADS HAS
PLENTY OF CARMEN
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 22.-The
places of the striking carmen are fast
being filled, and according to the
United Railroads officials, there are
not enough jobs left now to go around
among them, even if they were willing
to return to work. The company now
has 1000 men employed, and this num-
ber is being augmented at the rate of
thirty or forty a day. So MANY appli-
cations have, it is said. been received
from men in the east who are willing
to pay their own fares here in order
to obtain the high rate of wages that
the company has decided to pay no
more transportation.
The former platform men employed
by the California Street railway yes
terday decided that none should return
to work unless all men went back in
O. body and under union conditions and
an eight hour day for a fiat wage Of
So. The meeting was called because
of the claim of the superintendent that
he had applications from a number of
his former men who were ready to
renounce the union and return to work
when the rad resumes operations

In court he confessed that he was
guilty and was fined 50.
Joseph Wallace was the lucky boy
of the trio of offenders arraigned yes
terday. He was charged with petty
larceny. Joseph said he was IA but
would be 10 next month. He was
charged with stealing the bicycle Of
Lyn Bony last September, but it was
found that the wheel which Joseph
Wallace was riding had been left in
front of his fathers restaurant for five
days and had then been kept by his
father for a week longer inside the
restaurant.
Mr.. Wallace said that some man who
owed him for ninety days board had
left the wheel in front of his place.
Josephs story was believed by the JUS
tice and he was discharged.

Clever Young Woman at the orpheum
Almost Lives Under Water and
Finds 1t HeaIthfuI and
Enjoyable

Really-truly bathing would be more
popular with the summer crowds who
visit the beaches if women with nata-
torial inclinations were to adopt the
costume in which Miss Edna Finney
performs in her glass tank at the Or
pheum. Miss Finney and her swim
ming clothes are one of the features of
the program, and not even the open
work tights of another performer on
the same program or the extended sub
aqueous siestas of Miss Elsie's father
detract from the attractiveneSS of the
bathing beauty.
But, aside from her personal attrac-
tions, Miss Finney's diving and her
graceful underwater eVolutionS are
worthy of more than passing mention.
She turns somersaults, revolves like the
propeller of an ocean liner, eats, drinks
and sleeps under water, and does it all
with the same grace with which she
would entertain her young woman
friends at afternoon tea.
Miss Finney has two sisters doing a
similar act at the London Hippodrome
under the protecting care of her mother,
while she is making the tour of the
world with Father Finney. Speaking
of her experiences she says:
''I have been doing this act ever since
I can remember and without boasting
L think L may say that nave rev
equals in the profession.
IT have never been i'll for single day,
though 1 have given two performances
daily for months at a time without
missing a performance.
''No, have no objection to telling my
age. L am 10, and my sisters are II
and 21.
"Father is-well, 1 don't know just
how old father is, but have heard him
say that he has been appearing in pub
lie for twenty-four years, and mother
used to appear with him. Also have
an aunt living in England who was a
professional swimmer"
Captain Finney is quiet-mannered
gentleman of typical English build and
manner. He talks with the broad Ian
cashire accent. Although he is little
gray and has been a professional swim
mer for twenty -four years, he is shock
ingly healthy and has perfectly nor
NAL heart action in spite of the tre-
mendous strain put upon his pumping
apparatus twice a day. His daughter,
Elsie, has been a professional swimmer

Tomorrow the big concern of N. B.

its new quarters at the A. P. Johnson
building, 1892 South Broadway. Yes
terday was moving day, and all day till

The new firm home is a five-story
and basement reinforced concrete

feet Spacious windows light every
nook and Granny of the store, and
everywhere is natural light to aid the
buyer The windows on all the floors
are all of large size. The ground floor
is equipped with prism glass above the
plate glass of the windows.
The fixtures are especially beautiful
and attractive. Everything is new and
fresh On the first two floors the fix
lures are mahogany. The other floors
are furnished in fumed oak. The old
mission style gives everything an air of
substantially.
The convenience of the buying public
has been especially considered. For
them a small electric automatic ele-
vator has been installed to carry pack
ages from one floor to another.
A pneumatic tube system has also
been installed to expedite the making
of change for customers. In the car
pet department, swinging rack is used
to display the rugs.
Two quick service passenger elevators
and one large freight elevator are also
installed. Elaborately fitted depart
ments of all kinds provide a variety of
stock from which to choose.

from the heavy ocean swells.
Between the breakwater and the
west jetty it Is proposed to allow $50
acres to be filled in and reclaimed out

two channels extending into these fills.
The west channel will be about 1000

This will afford $4,000 feet of wharf
