BOARD OF EDUCATION
WARRING ON "FRATS"
CLASS ELECTIONS DECLARED
NULL AND VOID
Six Students Suspended from High
School on Refusing to Sign
Agreement to Give Up
Organizations
Isneoial to The Herald. ]

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 8.-A large
sized bomb was thrown last night into
the midst of the high school fraterni-
ties by the board of education, which
declared null and void all the class
elections that have been held in the
school since it opened, and ordered
that new elections be held at such time
and place as shall be indicated by the
board.
1t seems that several elections have
been held, and that frat" members
have defied the board of education by
taking part in the same, one OF thel1
members even being chosen for Office
in the junior class.
For the past two years the schoo
authorities have been making a hgh
against the "frats," with the result tha
the latter are reduced to a small mum
ber this year, two of the organizations
having disbanded. But the few re-
naming are quite belligerent and re-
fuse to abide by the rules laid down by
the school authorities. Encouraged by
the recent supreme court decisions in
cases from the Chicago and other
schools, the board has determined to
make a final stand and attempt to
drive the disrupting organizations from
the school.
Following up the action of last night,
six students were today suspended from
the high school on their refusal to sign
an agreement that they would with
draw from any fraternity that they
might belong to, and not engage in any
of the activities of any such organiza-
tion.
six students refused to sign, they
being Otis Campbell, Eugene Forker,
Charles Davis, Merritt Curtis, Wayne
Hubbs and Anna Shafer. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that most of these
will sign later and return to school.
This would settle the frat" question.

ATTORNEY PECK SUCCESSFUL
IN DESTROYING EVIDENCE

SANTA ANA, Oct. S.-Attorney
Peck, who was sentenced to serve
three wears at San Quentin for forgery,
probably got off easier than he might
have, had the extent of his misdeeds
been made public before his sentence.
Deputy Sheriff Wilson returned last
night from the north, where he de-
livered Peck at the penitentiary, and
says Peck confessed on the way up
that he had two kited checks in his
possession when arrested in Los An
geles, which he disposed of by slipping
them into his mouth and chewing them
to a pulp without attracting the at
tention of the arresting officers. Peck
also confessed that he. had an incrim-
mating letter in his possession at the
time Of his arrest but tore 1t up and
disposed of it without the. knowledge
of the officer.

the concerted campaign for funds
which the committee working for the
Tournament of Roses is planning. A
number of members were unable to be
present today, so vigorous action was
postponed. However, Frank V. Rider
and DR.. Rudolph Schiffman made a
tour of their acquaintances and from
two of them collected $3.50, while II. G.
Hotaling and ]. o. McCament also Sc
cured some subscriptions. 1t is an
nounced that a fairly satisfactory num-
ber of new members of the association
is being secured.
This city has been decided on for the
next department encampment of the
United Spanish War Veterans of Cali
fornia, to be held some time during the
next summer. A movement also has
been started to bring an encampment
of the G. A. r. here at the same time
and a committee is now working to
bring this about. 1t will require a
change in the plans of both organiza-
tions, since the veterans of so meet
regularly in April and those of '93 in
August of each year.

Lincoln Avenue Residents specially

Especial to The Herald

PASADE.JA, Oct. Sat a second
meeting of the city charter revision
committee this morning, the question
of extending the time limit of street
railway franchises was discussed at
length.
the 2O-year franchise in force here
many have favored extending the
time, and the consensus of opinion TINS
morning seemed to the that thirty-hVe
years would not be too much.
This allows the railway to be oullt
conveniently under 30year bonds,
which, it is claimed, are very popular
with railways.
The residents of the district surround
ing Lincoln avenue are most pro-
nounced in their desire to extend the
limit, since Mr.. huntington proposes
to charge them double price for a car
line. because of the short franchise they
can offer.
The committee decided to send to
Schenectady, N. Y, for copy of their
charter, which contains provision for
a board of tax equaliZers that is looked
on with favor by the committee.

"Alluring Nuisances."
New York World.)

The $4,000 verdict awarded to Fanny
Friedman against Snare & Trieste in
the United States Circuit Court sit
ting in Trenton, N. j., for injuries
received while playing on a pile of
iron Orders, demonstrates the length
to which some tribunals go in fav-
oring children. 1t was conceded that
the injured girl was a trespasser and
had 40 right to interfere with the
girders. Had she been an adult she
could not have recovered. But the
United States Supreme Court in the
pioneer case of Stout VS.. Sioux City
Railway made special exception
where the thing causing the damage
is ''Of such a character as to be at
tractiye to the child, appealing to his
childish curiosity and instincts .
There it was left to the jury to de-
eide whether a turn-table was a dan
gerOus machine and the company had
reason to anticipate that children
would be likely to resort to it. Their
decision that it was an "alluring null
sance" was affirmed
This doctrine of "alluring nuis-
ance" has proved decidedly attrac-
tive Thus reservoirs, machinery,
lumber and in the Friedman case a
pile of iron girders have been held to
constitute implied invitations to
children. In general the State courts,
however, have awakened to the fact
that there is nothing which the
average small boy is not prepared to
convert into a plaything.
In Michigan it was pointed out that
to follow the SOut case would require
that every owner of a Wheelbarrow, a
lawn-mOWer, a plough or a ladder
kept it at his peril. In fact no one
would have a right to erect a fence,
in view of the natural propensities of
boys to climb. California has baked
at a street car, Missouri at an aban-
doned quarry and Georgia at an I'M
locked house, New York and many
others, seeing what the doctrine was
likely to lead to, have struck at its
root by rejecting even turntables
But the United States courts have
adhered to their original opinions
