MOTHER FA|NTs
At SON s TRIAL
Fear That Her Boy May Be Sent to
the Reform School Causes
Her to Col
lapse

Heartbroken with the fear that her
14-year-old son might be sent to the
Whittier reform school to spend the
remainder OF his minority because of
his incorrigible behavior, Mrs. Harris
Fleming yesterday collapsed while at
tending the session of the juvenile court
and after being revived by women of
the juvenile board she was escorted to
her home by court officers
Mrs. Fleming is delicate and recently
has been suffering from palpitation Of
the heart. She was i'll yesterday when
she attended court and the warmth of
the room and the cares and troubles
of the youngsters who variously and
separately cried their little hearts out
over woes, real and imaginary, un-
nerved her.
Her boy was arrested some time ago
ON a charge OF having taken bicycle.
He is a bright, smart young fellow,
with more mischief than badness in
him, and the court was very willing to
grant him a parole. But that did not
last long and Lawrence Fleming ran
away from his home. For a second
time he was arrested under the Juve-

it. If the wearer of the shirt could
only manage to wear it and turn it
over to the cashier of the Nye County
bank, al one and the same time, he
would have no difficulty in securing
$4,000. He is still trying to work out a
plan by which this feat can be ac-
complished, and his friends are still
bringing up various fine legal points
as stumbling blocks whenever he thinks
he has it all figured out.
What is a wearer? When is wearer
not wearer? When does a wearer
cease to be q wearer? Can man who
has once been wearer be a wearer all
the time? All these and many more
questions are being asked, and the
shirt, apparently oblivious to its own
Importance, has not decided whether to
consider itself a mine or only a pros
pect.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-05

A certain white dress shirt which
covered a manly bosom at the New
Years celebration at the Indian grill
the other night bears this check in
scribed upon 1t that night, and never
before did shirt of any kind occasion
so much admiration.
The question is--How much Is the
shirt worth-$5, the ordinary price of a
dress shirt or $4,000?
Along with the Happy New Year"
there were exchanges of various pleas
antries and a wealthy young mining
man whose signature is worth many
times $4,000. scribbled the check on the
front of friends shirt.
The shirt was the cause of half a
dozen good-natured debates i'm the
Alexandria corridor yesterday, and IL
these debates did nothing else they
proved that when some miners grow
weary of their search for gold they may
become lawyers, for never were points
so varied and numerous introduced into
any case
The miner has an account in the Nye
County bank, and his check upon that
institution would be honored without
question. . The case is like that of the
proverbial small boy who sighed be-
cause he could not have his pie and eat

nile law of having broken his parole,
and yesterday was the date set for the
hearing.
The usual sentence to be meted out
in case of broken parole is Whittier,
and Mrs. Fleming could not bear the
idea of her boy being taken from her.
She had hurried about for a week or
more and had secured a good position
for the lad with the Southern Pacific
and yesterday she appeared in court
anxious to tell the court how she had
arranged for her sons future.
Judge Wilbur had just begun to ques-
tion young Fleming and the mother had
just started to tell of the arrangements
for the boys good If he was pardoned
again, when she was stricken with
heart trouble and collapsed. She was
assisted from the courtroom and the
women of the juvenile court finally
managed to restore her and later, with
the care of women and OF deputy
sheriff, Mrs. Fleming was taken to her
home.
Later Judge Wilbur gave the young
man a weeks pardon to give him time
to show whether or not he will go to
work and prove that he can be good
boy.

RAISES LICENSE
FOR AUCT|0NEERs
Legitimate Jewellers Assist Depart
ment in Clearing the Business
District of Fakers and
Confederates

In obedience to the requests of the
police department the city council yes
terday passed the bill raising the license
of auctioneers from $25 quarter to
$25 a month.
The police have had the cooperation
of legitimate auctioneers in pushing
this legislation and it is believed it
will have the effect of wiping out the
cheap jewelry and other takers who
have gobbled up thousands of dollars
that could have been invested to bet
ter advantage in good jewelry and
other stuff.
Numerous complaints made during
the holidays led to the action. Vacant
stores on Main street and elsewhere
were temporarily fitted up with stocks
Of jewelry and notions by itinerant
tradesmen and with the aid of cappers
who bid up the prices ON all goods
offered exorbitant prices were obtained
from buyers who thought they had
procured bargains.
In fragrant cases policeman was sent
to the stores with the victims and
usually the tradesmen disgorged.

SHUT DOWN ON
DANGER PERMITS
aa-
Dye House Refused Permission to
Operate Motor, and Council
Has More Legislation
PigeonhoIed

The board of fire commissioners yes
terday revoked the permit of M. r..
Calkins for an electric motor at GA
West Sixth street. There have been
several blazes there, Chief Lips report
ed, and as a result it was deemed an
excellent precaution to shut off one Of
the danger points. Calkins conducts a
dye house at that place and a motor
is considered unsafe there
Last week Councilman Hitler at the
suggestion of some Of his constituents
introduced an ordinance compelling all
cleaning and dye works to confine
themselves to structures distant seven
ty-five feet from the nearest residence
Councilman Houghton opposed the
measure, saying that it would drive all
tailors out Of business. The measure
is now pigeonholed with the legisla-
tive committee.
The Talbert Whitmore company
manufacturers of window shade cloth,
asked for the privilege of installing a
2000-gallon storage tank for a distillate
at 1920 Lacy street, although under the
law the limit for tanks at manufacture
ing plants is 500 gallons.
Mayor McAleer suggested that two
tanks could be made of it by placing
a steel partition in the container, and
after some discussion 1t was decided to
let the city attorney pass on the appli-
cation first.
The commission gave permit to in
stall an electric motor at All Wall
street in the California Basket COM
pany's establishment; another to the
Mission Fixture company at ia East
Ninth street and the Pacific Cement
and Construction company got permis-
sion to use a gasoline engine to operate
a concrete mixer at PSI South Hill

NINTH SENTENCE
FOR AGED MAN
HAS SERVED MOST OF HIS LIFE
IN PRISON
Pleads Guilty to Burglary and Mus,
Pass One Year In Penitentiary.
Three Admit Burglary
and Theft

Three men saved the county the ex-
pense OF needless prosecution yester-
day by pleading guilty to the various
charges against them before Judge
Smith In department one of the SUI
perior court and all three received COM
paratively light sentences.
The most remarkable case of the trio
was that of Frank Smith. 63 years old,
who yesterday pleaded guilty to
charge of burglary and was sentenced
10 one years Imprisonment i'm Folsom
penitentiary. 1t was Smiths ninth
sentence and he took it calmly and
nodded his approval when the light
sentence was read.
Smith has spent most of his life in
states prison. His hair, what there Is
of IL, has grown white inside the prison
walls, and when he walks he uncon-
sciously drops into the lock STEP
He has gazed so often through prison
bars that now, according to his own
statement, whenever he looks at the
sky he seems to see the old shadow
resting across his sight and dividing off
the great stretch of heaven into strips.
Smith met his last capture at the
hanls of woman, young and pret-
ty woman, who after she had caught
him in her home and had seized him
was on the point, through tenderness
of heart of letting him go before a
police officer arrived.
Gets Only Small Sum
Smith at that time secured $1.75,
which he had taken from a bureau
drawer in the home of Mrs. Joseph
Stevens, while he thought Mrs. Stevens
was away from home. She returned
and caught him stuffing the money
into his hat band and held him until
the police arrived.
He has served eight sentences in
California prisons during his life for
thefts, the aggregate Of which amount
ed to about $40. His record was against
him, but his age was in favor and he
was given the light sentence after
pleading guilty as charged.
William Erwin also pleaded guilty
to a burglary charge and was given
a two-year sentence at Folsom. Irwin
entered the apartments of Walter Har-
ris on November "a and took suit
case.
Harry Harrison was the last of the
three to face judgment. and he was
given four-year term at Folsom. He
pleaded guilty to a charge of robbery,
and the two or three other acts of sim
liar nature alleged to have been per-
formed by him caused the four-year-
sentence.
