OAKHURST Thief
MAY Be WOUNDED
BOY SHOOTS AT MIDNIGHT
PROWLER
VIII Sly Rallies to the Rescue Of the
Finest White Rock Rooster
in the Whole
World

Somewhere out in the hills beyond
quiet Oakhurst a would-be burglar
may lie with a bullet in his leg. II
the aim of Will Sly son of w. Lewis
Sly, who resides at Santa Monica ave-
nue. and Oakhurst boulevard, was true
the robber will not be likely to attempt
further marauding in the fashionable
district Just north of Hollywood.
Early yesterday morning a uog,
which is kept in the yards at the Oak
hurst poultry farm, aroused the house,
hold by it's furious barking.
Prowlers have attempted to rob the
place on previous occasions. Will Sly,
the 1S-year-old head of the household
during Mr.. Slys absence, arose and
went cunning for the thief.
Slipping toward the incubator houses
the youth saw the dim shadow of a
figure creeping past an incubator
lamp. The incubator house adjoins
the pen where Albert E., the $1,000 prize
winner White Rock cock is kept. The
boy determined to protect the valuable
bird at all cost.
Come out of there and throw up
your hands!" shouted the lad.
A wild scramble out of the incubator
house followed. The dog got tangled
up with the basement of the robbers
trousers and the burglar hunter hes
itated to shoot for fear of wounding
the dog. The man fought his way to
the fence and tumbled over, disengag-
ing the dog. Minus a portion of his
wearing apparel the man fled.
One, two, three shots rang out on
the morning air, the boy shooting low.
At the third shot the man fell, but
Immediately scrambled to his feet and
ran.
No blood was found on the trail, and
1t is not known whether the robber
was seriously wounded or not.

HARPER AND BELL
HAS RIGHT RING
SUCH. is THE DECLARATION OF
MANY DEMOCRATS
Verdugo Dinner, Where Nominations
for Governor and Senator Were
Made as Glasses Clinked,
Causes Speculation

Harper and Bell sounds good to us.
1t has the right ring"
Democrats repeatedly said something
of this tenor yesterday.
The cordial speeches nominating
Mayor Harper for governor succeeding
Gillett, and Theodore Bell Of Napa for
senator, succeeding Senator George c.
Perkins in 1909, at the spread given by
Fire Commissioner Anthony Schwamm
at Verdugo Friday night caused much
comment in political circles yester-
day.
The Herald's readers looked upon the
announcement as in line with what In
innate friends of the two men have
discussed for some time.
Incidentally, talk of Schwamm fol
mayor in 1910 is also rife.
Mr.. Bells presence here was in con-
nection with the Odd Fellows meeting,
and many Democrats from the south
ern part of California took occasion on
meeting him to say that they were
still his lo-.al adherents.
Mayor Harper will not discuss the
nomination, saying his cup of happiness
is now over1owing as mayor of Los
Angeles.

UNCERTAIN OVER
THEIR MEAT FEES
inspectors, Under New Slaughter
House Ordinance, Shy About
Taking City Jobs Until
Assured of Pay

Difficulties have arisen over the pro-
visions of the new slaughtered meat
ordinance.
The provisions specify that the men
are to receive their pay from the fees
paid by the meat ordinance.
Health officer L. M. Powers has
found difficulty in inducing men to take
office on such a slender promise of pay.
The latest proposition is to amend
the ordinance to make the pay $110 a
month, the fees to be paid into the
city treasury. Thus specified sum
will be in sight for pay.

BARN COST $4,000.
State College Has Finest in Massachusetts,

The new barn at the Amherst Agri-
cultural college, just completed at a
cost of So, 900, illustrates the progress
of scientific agriculture.
The chief end sought is the produc-
ton of milk of the best quality. To
prevent the recurrence of the disaster
which caused, not only the loss by fire
of the whole barn, but also the burning
of the whole herd of cattle, especial
care has been taken to make the build
ing fire-proof. The storage barn, 144
feet by 81, has three stories and base
ment. The entrance is by an elevated
driveway to the top story.
Here the teams bring the hay which
is thrown from the wagon to fall into
the mows, having capacity of 800
tons. Here also will he placed an en-
silage cutter driven by electric power,
which will carry the ensilage to the
silos. These are built of cement, are
located on the north side of the barn
and will hold 800 tons.
In the east end of the barn are the
granaries and the root cellars The first
floor is reached through door opening
on the north side of the barn. Here are
the hay scales and offices and facilities
for preparing the fodder and grain
ratiOnS for the herd. The large base
ment affords plenty of storage room for
vehicles and barn machinery.
The stable consists of wing, 1876 feet
by AZ, attached to the southeast corner
of the main building. The floor is of
cement laid over broken stone, so as to
secure dryness and warmth. The cell
ings and walls are plastered and finish
ed with hard, smooth surface. There
are stalls for "a head of cattle. The
stanchions of the latest design are made
of iron and wood and so hung as to al
low the animal great freedom OF motion.
The cow will stand on an elevated
floor, her fore feet supported by earth
or sawdust placed in little depression
! in the cement. Her feed will be put III
a cement trough before her and into the
same trough running water VIII fow
within her reach. Two rows of stalls
will face each other with ample. room
between for the attendants to do the
foddering.

After being sterilized the milk is taken
to another room, where the separators
remove the cream as required and pre-
pare it for market. The dairy building
will be equipped with the latest dairy

STATE CONFERENCE

OF Charities and Correct ions to bel Held in
October. fiTa
A call for State Conference of Cha r.
tiles and Corrections to meet in eithe I
Lewiston or Auburn about Oct. p has
been signed by number of the promi-
nent people of the State At the
National Conference of Charities and
Corrections held in Portland three years
ago scores were present from all parts
of Maine. At Philadelphia last year
Maine had 80 delegates and at Ainneap-
oils this year u. Many unable to get
away to these national conferences
have asked that there be in Maine as in
other States State conference where
the philanthrophic people of every form
of belief and opinion can exchange ideas
and come to know each other.
So the churches Of Auburn and Lew
iston have invited those interested to
meet in one of their cities to organize a
conference which shall meet yearly.
AS Maine spends about one million dol
lars year for her charities and correc-
tions it is important for the workers
along different lines to meet together
to compare notes. The expenditure for
the unfortunate and delinquent citizens
is about the largest single item for
which the tax payers money goes. 1t
is expected that very large number
of the keepers of the amshouses, the
boards of overseers and their secreta-
ries, the selectmen who administer re-
lief, the directors and officers of the
private relief societies, the neighbor-
hood workers, the district nurses, the
workers for children, for fallen girls,
those in charge of the public hospitals,
inst if,,t fNr q
BILE minded, the deaf and the blind, the
keepers of the States prison and cOun-
ty jailS, the probation officers and all
others interested in such matters, will
| be at the conference, besides large
number of public spirited citizens. The
keepers of the various almshouses have
a chance to compare notes as to ways
of economiZing and of securing better
care for those with them. Men from
all over the State are interested in the
question of the indeterminate sentence,
How has it succeeded where it has
been tried? What are the objections
raised against it," People want to hear
both sides impartially presented.
The probation work has been a great
success in many cities where it has been
tried. What are the objections to the
extension of the probation system?
The child labor problem has aroused
national attention. Both sides of this
question should be laid before the pub
lie. The philanthrophic workers feel
they can make their work more efficient
| by learning from each others expert
ence, feeling that all interested in phil
anthrophic work in the State should
know each other better, so that the CO.
operation may be closer. The Maine
Central has already arranged reduced
rates for transportation for delegates.
