OFFICER PRAISED
FOR KILLING MAN

err Did His Duty In Shooting the
Suspicious Character Who

Patrolman Hoover was eXonerated
of all blame for the killing of William
Ross, the burglar who was shot in a
desperate pistol duel at East Adams

shown.

shot by Ross few seconds before the
man was himself killed, is still at the
Clara Barton hospital, and although

morose, disagreeable fellow. 1t was

SAY WOMAN USED
UNDUE INFLUENCE
HEIRS SUE FOR RETURN OF
DEEDS
Probate Court Holds That Acquired
Wealth Was Community Prop
erty and Instructs Execu-
tors to Get 1t Back

Pursuant to the orders of Judge
Rives of the probate court, executors of
the estate of the late A. L. Bath yes
terday filed suit for recovery of prop
erty against Miss Florence E. Dodge,
to whom Bath had decided all of his
property, amounting to $50,000, shortly
before his death.
The suit promises interesting dis
closures when 1t comes up for trial in
the superior court. According to the
petition set forth yesterday. Bath was
married in one of the eastern states in
1867, just after the civil war.
He came to California a short time
after and bought some property which
later increased in value until he had a
comfortable fortune. Heirs to the es-
tate allege that this property was COM
munity property secured through the
work of both the woman and her hus-
band, and that Bath had no right to
deed 1t away without the wifes permis-
sion.
One of the peculiar details of the
case is that Bath was survived by his
wife just six days.
They separated in 1890, but no di-
vorce was ever secured and they lived
apart by agreement. In 1891, according
to the allegations of the petition, Miss
Florence e. Dodge, a relative of Bath,
went to keep house for him and care
for him.
She stayed at the Bath home until
the mans death on April 21, 1905. Six
days later Mrs. Hannah Bath died, and
her heirs filed petition for letters of
probate, claiming half Of the Bath es-
tate.
When the case was taken into the
probate court 1t was learned that he
had nothing, or rather had left nothing;
that every cent of his property.
amounting to about $4,000, had been
decided to Miss Dodge shortly before
Baths death.
An examination was demanded in the
probate court and after an investiga-
tion the court ruled that some of the
property must have been community
property, and executors of the mans
estate were instructed to bring suit for
the recovery so that a proper division
could be made.
Relatives of the Bath family allege
that Bath was an old man, enfeebled
in mind and body and that Miss Dodge
eXerted undue influence over him to
secure his signature to the deeds for
the property.
Miss Dodge is said to contend that
the property belonged to her because
of her attention and work for Bath for
the fifteen years of his old age when
he had no one in the world to care for
him but her.
The case will be granted an early
hearing

EDUCATORS FACE
ROOM PROBLEM
ANXIOUSLY AWAIT DAY OF EN-
R0LLMENT
Hopes Entertained That Congestion
viii Not Be SO Serious as For
meriy-Ten-Room Building
Offers Some Relief

With the approach of a new school
term, superintendents and principals
are having anxious moments wonder
ing how many additional pupils will
apply for enrolment.
The problem Of housing the throng
of would-be students who 1t Is eX-
pected will apply for admission next
Monday morning is a serious one. With
the additional school buildings opened
for occupancy at the early part of the
year. the frightfully congested condi-
tions so common earlier in the term,
were remedied somewhat. Half day
sessions were changed to whole day
studies, temporary shacks and lean-tos
were done away with and all the chill
dren were decently housed.
The board realized at the time that
the coming of the new term would re-
vive the old problem with all it's orig
inal force, but nothing could be-or has
been done, and when the schools open
Monday morning 1t is thought that
the additional hundreds of new pupils
will simply cause a revival of the old
conditions.
The only relief in sight is one ten
room building, which will be COM
pleted by Monday. The temporary
the new buildings were opened will
once more be called into play and ev-
erything possible will be done to pre-
vent a repetition of the halliday ses-
sions.
At the high schools conditions are
little better. Prof Housh of the Los
Angeles high school expects to use
three rooms in the Sand Street school
In addition to crowding, all the rooms
in the main building. The new science
hall will not be completed for a long
time to come, at least not for the
present term, and all kinds Of make
shifts will be used.
The Polytechnic high school viii
solve the difficulty by lengthening its
sessions. Beginning Monday school
will begin at 8 o'clock and will con-
tinue until p. m. Additional teach
ers will be employed and the capacity
OF the plant viii be increased consid-
erably. If the Los Angeles high school
becomes too crowded pupils will be
sent from there to the Polytechnic
building.

BURGLAR ENTERS HOUSE
AND TURNS ON GAS

Efforts are being made by the police
to learn the identity of the burglar who
entered the home of Mrs. William j.
Scholl, 1885 Maple avenue, early yes
terday morning and after robbing the
place turned on all the gas jets. What
his reason for the act was the officers
have been unable to ascertain.
The family was absent from home
when the robbery occurred. When
they returned they found the place
filled with the fumes of gas and an in
spection revealed the fact that every
jet in the house had been turned on.
The thief gained entrance through a
rear window. Two watches a diamond
ring and several rings set with differ
ent stones and $50 in money were
stolen.
