mitted the message to the desk SER

STAR SAVES MARSHAL'S LIFE
Bullet Fired by Thieves Chances from
MetaI-officer Folls Burglars
Attempt to Loot Store

Special to The Herald.
FOLEY, Mimi, Feb 4.-The fact that
he wore his official star was the means
Of saving the life of the town marshal
of Foley when the officer engaged in
running fight with a gang of burglars
who We're attempting to rob a store in
the village. 1t was the third such at
tempt within the week, and the pre-
vailing opinion Is that the former dep
relations were committed by the men
whose plans were foiled in this last at
tempt.
Twice since Sunday night local stores
have been broken into and various ar
ticles and some money removed by the
thieves. The town officers began to
consider steps TO capture the men, or
at least to prevent further visltations,
and the marshal was instructed to be
particularly watchful for midnight ma
rauders.
Early the officer, while going his
rounds, found that the store of Hall
Bros was being paid a visit by several
burglars, and he at once opened fire
on them. The men ran, firing at the
officer as they did so. The marshal re-
turned their fire and ran after them.
None of the shots took effect, but the
official felt a sharp blow on his breast,
and when he came TO examine his star
after the fight he found the mark of a
bullet which had struck IT and glanced
off from it's rounded surface.
The burglars got away and thus far
there is no clew to their identity.

PUEBLO, Colo, Feb. A special
to the Cheftain from Salida, Colo, says
that at least a dozen lives are believed
to have been lost in a terrific snow
slide that came down Monarch noun
tain about 3 O'Clock tonight, completely
overwhelming three business houses,
burying the occupants under the snow
and dirt.
The wrecked buildings are Stevens
saloon, Maron's rooming house, and
Fred Schrader's restaurant, the In
mates of which had no warning and no
time to get out before the crash came.
Several of them, however, have been
rescued. They are:
Fred Schrader and family Of I've.
James Smith and one child.
Fred Mason.
Great confusion reigns at the scene
of the disaster, and it is difficult to Sc
cure details.
The snow is waist deep on the leved
at Monarch and although help has been
asked from Salida, eighteen miles east,
1t is probable that several hours must
elapse before relief can be obtained

The slide came down with such force
as to continue its course across the
main street of Monarch, caVing In the
front of Carrolls hotel. None of the
guests or employees were hurt, how
ever.
Mrs. Fred Mason and one unknown
man have been taken from the slide,
dead. James Lecky has been reached.
but is pinioned under a big piece of
timber and cannot be extricated. His
son Is under the snow, but has not
been located.
The scenes at the place of destruc-
tion and death are heartrending. Strong
men are weeping while they work at
rescuing their townsmen women are
hysterical with grief and uncertainty
and children are crying for the parents
whom they realize are shut from their
sight by the avalanche of snow.
Monarch is an active mining camp,
the center of a rugged section of Chat
fee county, to which access at this
time of the year is difficult except by
the single track of railroad which
serves for ore transportation, but
which is now covered with fifty feet
of snow in the cuts and gulches.

William p. George Tells How He
Solved Problem by Establishing
George Junior Republic
at Ithaca

William p. George, founder of the
George Junior Republic at Ithaca, N.
Y, addressed a large audience OF men
and women last night at Simpson aud
itorium, who were evidently sufficiently
interested In the welfare of the way
ward boys and girls to assemble and
hear the best methods discussed con-
cerning the solution of the boy Prob
lem" Rapt attention for two hours on
the part of the audience testified to the
absorbing interest of Mr.. Georges
message. Mr.. George had a message
and a method, and both went to the
heart of his auditors. In substance
this was his argument and story:
"In nearly every newspaper which we
pick up we see an account of "A Gang
of Young Thieves "A Boy Highway
man. "A New Charge for the Reformt-
tory, or some such account, which
shows that all over this country careful
logical thought must be given to this
Boy Problem which confronts us and
which so vitally effects the future OF
this beautiful city and other cities.
Can the objects OF these pitiable and
lamentabe cases of Juvenile hayward
ness be corrected by a term in the re-
form school or the prison? 1t is an
easy matter to sentence these danger
Gus and unfortunate boys to such
places, but has 1t not been demon
strated that such 'reformatories' do not
reform, and that such institutions often
tend to even develop criminals?
why not give our wayward boys and
girls a chance to work out their own
salvation-help them to help them
selves-put them in n position to learn
the practical lessons of life-teach them
to become independent and to honor
ably bear responsibility so that they
may have a fair fight against the ter
rifle environment which so often is
directly responsible for thei.' downfall?
The Junior Republic stands for just
such a practical work.

Tells Of Republic

1.-THE Junior Republic as has been so
often described in the magazines, is a
miniature government of the boys. by
the boys and for the boys 1t is such
a training school that Los Angeles
needs more than anything else at this
time, and there are enough public
spirited men and women here to re-
spond as they have in eastern cities,
to the call for such practical move
ment on behalf of the unfortunate mem-
bers of society The Junior Republic
is undoubtedly the solution of the Boy
Problem 1t offers a system which is
unique and wonderfully practical in it's
scope. The results obtained since the
establishment of the first Junior Repub-
lie years ago are vastly more gratify
ing than even the most sanguine dared
then hope for. This system of dealing
with youths is no longer an experiment
1T is an acknowledged success. To
testify to the efficacy of the Junior Re-
public methods there are in our eastern
cities scores of young men-some at
tending college, some holding respon-
sible positions, some conducting their
own business and others teaching, who
would today be on the high road to the
penitentiary but for the valuable train
ing which they received at the Junior
Republic.
First, some large farm or ranch must
be given to the cause and turned into
a miniature village, with hotel, school,
store, chapel, shops. Jail, stables, etc,
|etc. Then some of the Los Angeles
public spirit must be turned into coin
for the maintenance of the Junior Re-
public until it can be made self-sup-
porting-then the so-called incorrigible
boys of our community will be turned
into law-abiding, industrious, honor
able citizens, and the city will have
made one of the greatest investments
in it's history-morally, socially and
financially. Morally. because the Junior
Republic diverts the thoughts of un-
moral boys to honorable independence
and thriftiness; socially, because it will
take the feeders for jails and prisons
the lawless boys and girls-and turn
them into law-abiding citizens with
noble ambitions aroused; financially,
because instead of the city being called
upon in years to come to support GRIM
inals and thieves (boys now developing
as such). if given the advantages of the
Junior Republic system these same
boys who are causing so much trouble
today will, as industrious citizens, be
paying taxes into the city treasury"
Full explanation was made of all the
methods used in bringing these boys
up to the right standard of manhood.
The program included orchestra selec-
tions by the orchestra of young men
and women from the churches of the
city, cornet solos by Miss Ethel Mitchell
and the question box conducted by @.
p. Mulford. A mass meeting will be
held at Temple auditorium on Sunday
at p. m. MIR. George will further ex-
plain the working of the Republic"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-05
Arguments Are Brief

Mr.. Garvan, in telling the story of
the alleged murder, occupied less than
ten minutes and the prosecutors entire
case was kept within two hours. With
the exception of young White and the
coroner's physicians who performed the
autopsy the only persons called to the
stand by the state were five eyewit-
neSseS.
They were cross-examined briefly by
Attorney Dolphin Delmas for the de-
fense who thus appeared actively in
the proceedings for the first time. The
witnesses related the deliberate manner
in which Thaw fired at White. They re-
peated Thaws words:
"He ruined my WIFE" and Mrs
Thaw's remark to her husband: Yes,
but look what a fix you are in now"
To this last remark Thaw replied:
"Dearie, 1 have probably saved your
life."
Mr. Caravans outline of the states
testimony told how White went to the
roof garden to see the initial produc-
ton of a summer musical comedy and
related in simple language the incident
of the killing.
THE people claim" he concluded,
that it was a cruel, deliberate mali
cious, premeditated taking of human
life. After proving that fact to you
we will ask you to find the defendant
guilty of the crime of murder in the
first degree.
Just at adjournment this afternoon
Mr.. Jerome made an Intellectual effort to
have the defense disclose the names of
those who are to be called as its first
witnesses.
1t was reported that the prisoners
wife may be among the first to give tes-
timony for the defense. Even after tes-
tifying she will still be denied the priv
ilege of the court room, for the ruling Of
Justice Fitzgerald was to exclude wit
nesses before and after testifying, it
being argued by Mr.. Jerome that they
may be recalled from time to time.
The state having put the case so
simply to the defense to prove it's JUS
tifcation bears out the theory that Mr..
Jerome is saving his real efforts for the
rebuttal.
David n. Carvalho, handwriting ex-
pert, was in court today sitting beside
the prisoner. 1t is said he will be called
to identify certain letters alleged to
have been written by Stanford White,
and now in the hands of the defense.
