DUST BANE
OF CHILDREN
PUPILS HEALTH ENDANGERED
SAYS TEACHER
NEW YORK FOR PHYSICAL EDU-
CATION
Instructors Urged to Watch Over
Their Charges with Special At
tention as Regards Their
Bodily Health

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE physical well
fare of New York's school children is en-
gaging the attention of the educational
authorities. Superintendent Maxwell at a
special meeting of all the school principals
of the city impressed upon them this feat
ure for the care of the little ones. He de-
clared 1t was the duty of the principals
and of the teachers under them to make
personal investigation of the physical con-
dition of the children, and to urge upon
the parents the necessity for medical at
tention where physical defects in children
were discovered.
Special attention, he said, should be
given to four classes OF pupils: To over
aged children, to determine whether their
intellectual development has been retarded
by physical defects; to children who are
evidently suffering from physical defects,
to incorrigibility of children who have q
tendency toward mischievousness, and the
persistent truant.
In connection with the movement to i'm
prove the health conditions in the class
room, the report of Lyman A. Best, presi-
dent Of the Brooklyn Teachers associa-
ton, is interesting. In his annual report
to the association he gives the opinion
that the feather buster is a spreader of
disease germs and is responsible in great
measure for physical conditions of school
children. He says that statistics show
that the ordinary contagious diseases of
children, such as measles, scarlet fever,
diphtheria and Group show an abrupt rise
| in the number of cases in the fall after
school windows are closed, while just as
abrupt a decrease occurs in the spring
when the windows are open. The cause he
attributes to school room dust.
Destroy all feather busters In the
school and prohibit their use," is one rem
edy suggested by Mr.. Best. Before any
| sweeping is done wet sawdust should be
scattered over the floor, said Mr.. Best
| busting should be done with dampened
cloths. Every school house to be erected
in the future should be completely pro-
vided with a vacuum cleaning outfit, with
proper connections in every room in the
building, he adds.

CITY TO SAVE THOUSANDS
ON ITS GROCERY SUPPLIES
STAPLE GOODS WILL BE BOUGHT
IN BULK AT WHOLESALE
Eventually a Storehouse and Store.
Keeper viii Be Established to
Check Receipts and DeIlv-
cries of All Articles

The city will save thousands of dol
lars through the new system just adj
opted by the supply committee of the
council awarding grocery contracts to the
lowest bidder on each item.
Formerly the items were grouped and
the bids were based on groups of stuff
Supply Clerk Bert Farmer has also
introduced new plan of buying soaps
and similar articles by five and ten
case lots which permits of the city get
ting goods at wholesale prices whereas
retail figures prevailed heretofore.
Only three grocery firms bid this
year-another argument reinforcing that
made by Chairman Wallace of the finance
committee, that city advertising done In
a class journal instead of daily news
paper costs the city dearly because few
firms bid for city supplies.
Recently much hay and grain was
bought for the city on bids by item and
a considerable saving was also effected.
Goods of which large quantities are
used in different departments will also
be bought in bulk hereafter, such as
axle grease, condition powders, soaps,
candles, lanterns, tools and similar
articles.
Under the old way separate purchases
were made for each department.
Later a city storehouse and store
keeper will be established so that sys-
tematic check can be kept on all re-
ceipts and disbursements of supplies.

Back into California came the much
wanted man, always travelling under an
alias.
While he did not appear in Los An

in that city held a conference with a
friend from this city. The officers

next places where Moore went, and then
he went down into Mexico again when
the officers got too close to him.
Hears of Fugitive
A few days ago Detective Home learned
that Moore was near Tia Juana, and he
went after him, enlisting the services OF
Sheriff Meadows of Imperial county to
assist him. Meadows, by some method
known only to border sheriffs, induced
Moore to come over the line, and then
the arrest followed and the prisoner was
turned over to the Los Angeles officer
and brought here.
Moore will be presented in court this
morning on charges of embezzlement

Society and the populace generally ex-
pressed great surprise on learning that
| the scion of wealthy house had wooed
and won a working girl, but those who
have noted the growing affection be-

few months were satisfied that trip to
minister would be the outcome.
Despite his wealth and his fathers po-
sition, young Lapworth Is a skillful me-
chanic and is employed regularly at the
mill One day few months ago the
machine at which Miss Phillips worked
was out of order. Lapworth was called
to fix it and he was struck by the beauty
of the young woman. Thereafter 1t
seemed as If that particular machine
must have required particular attention,
so often was 1t necessary for Lapworth
to be near it. Matters progressed salts
factorily till the journey to Providence
was the elimination of the romance.
The couple were married by the Rev.
George Jenner of Providence, rector of
the George street Episcopal church.
Immediately after the ceremony they re-
turned to Milford and registered at the
Mansion house. They announced their
marriage to their respective parents.
The bridegroom Is rs years of age.

younger than her husband. Clarence A.

of Lieutenant Governor Draper. He

A hint has gone out that If conditions

arrests of we'll known men will follow
and the visit is regarded at the city hall
as a precautionary step before drastic
action is taken.
One we'll known dairyman has opposed
milk inspection in every way.
The action of the state dairy bureau
in refusing to deputize two of the Los
Angeles inspectors as state officers with
out pay has increased the existing
tension.
City Chemist Erwin Miller has found
that the worst offenders of late have
been some of the big diaries.
The restaurants, small stores and re-
tailers have maintained high standard
of butter fat the poorest being per
cent, which is the standard required by
the state, though the city requires 81
per cent
The present board is firmly committed
to good milk just as it pushes restau-
rant inspection, lodging house and meat
inspection in the interest of the general
health.

GIRL MAKES SERIOUS
CHARGE AGAINST MAN
ACCUSED is HELD UNDER BONDS
OF $4,000
Tells Story Of Wrong Done Her, AL
though She Is but Fifteen
Years of Age-Drank
In Cafes

Edwin Corey of South Pasadena was
held in $1,000 bonds yesterday by Justice
Selph, after preliminary examination on
a statutory charge sworn to by Hor-
tense Pasqualino, a fifteen-year-old girl.
On the witness stand, the girl told of
how she had accepted the invitation of
Mrs. G. f. jacob of 324 South Palm
avenue, Pasadena, to go riding in an
auto on the night of September 2. The
girl said they came to Los Angeles and
met Corey and a companion named Sui
Ivan at the corner of First and Main
streets Mrs. Jacob introduced the girl
to the men, and the whole party went
to cafe, where they drank beer.
Before leaving for the jacob home in
Pasadena, the men purchased two dozen
bottles of beer and a lunch. which they
took with them. After drinking the
beer, the witness testified that Corey at
tempted to entice her to room with
him, but she refused to go.
Although the hour was late, the party
again entered the auto and returned to
Los Angeles, going to another cafe, where
an hour or two was spent in revelry.
When they returned to Pasadena she
declares, the party separated into couples,
she going with Corey, while Mrs. Jacob
and Sullivan went into another room to-
gether. Her brother, who had noticed
his sisters reluctance to have anything
to do with Corey, watched the pair go
upstairs and into room.
The witness was reticent and not in
clined to testify against the defendant.
When asked as to the details of the
offense by Assistant District Attorney
Mccormick, she tried to shield Corey, and
said he was so drunk he did not know
what he was doing.
Makes Mistake in Age
When Mrs. Jacob was placed on the
stand, she attempted to deny that any
wrong had been done the girl. Her
favorite reply to pertinent questions was,
II don't remember"
She admitted having been with the girl
on the automobile ride, and also that
they had met Corey and Sullivan, but
explained her lack of memory on the
important details by saying she was SO
worried over the wrong she had done
her husband that she could think of
nothing else.
Attorney Sturgis for the defense had
just about two minutes fun during the
trial, but his merriment was cut short
by a correction made by the girls father.
When asked as to how old she was,
Hortense replied she was fifteen, and
added that she was born in 1882. oturgis
smiled and looked around the court room
in high glee, while the witness, I'M
acquainted with the cause OF his amuse-
ment, gazed at him in wonder.
Suddenly 1t dawned upon her father
that she had made mistake of ten years
in her age. and he exclaimed:
"She means 1892 she was born in 1892"
"I didn't ask you," was the irate at
torney's sharp retort.

ROOSEVELT Is ARRANGING
OWN PEACE CONFERENCE
President VIII Call Representatives of
Powers to Hold Meeting at
Westinghouse Be
Informal

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IAN
informal peace conference to accomplish
what The Hauge has found impossible
will be called by President Roosevelt. II
is probable the ambassadors accredited
to Washington will be the delegates to It,
In this undertaking, it is understood,
the president will be backed by Kink Ed
ward, Emperor William and President
Fallieres of France. The other rulers
of weight will be expected to agree with
them.
Ambassadors Bryce, Jusserand, Stern
burg and Nabuco, and probably all other
ambassadors, have already been consulted
and asked to sound their governments
with a view to having them agree to a
discussion of the subjects on which the
conference at The Hague could come
to no definite conclusion.
The president does not think much of
the work done or sought to be done by
the doctrinaires assembled in the Dutch
capital to devise schemes for the conduct
Of business in which those drafting the
agreement have never had a voice In
heavy responsibility.
1t is declared that disarmament, limita-
ton of armament, rules of war and things
like that will be left alone. The intensely
practical questions of the Drago doctrine,
the Monroe doctrine, Japans rights in
Korea, her interest In the Chinese lit
toral, African territory and other related
topics will be discussed, with a view to
having all the ambassadors made famil-
lar with the views of the parties in in
terest, so that when question arises it
will not be necessary for the exchange of
many notes to discover how each power
feels on that subject.
The probability is that the imminence
of the retirement of the Dowager En-
press of China and the acuteness of the
far eastern question are at the bottom
of the proposed pow-wow.
