Devoted Life to the Deaf.

Miss Jane Tomlinson Meigs, who
died short time ago in her eighty
eighth year, devoted almost her en-
tire life to the interest of deaf mutes.
She was born in Ceylon, where her
father was missionary for more than
40 years. She was a graduate of the
Albany Female Academy in 1885 and
had been for several years the only
survivor of her class. She was the
friend and instructor of thousands Of
deaf mutes in all parts Of the United
States, having taught for 48 consecu-
tive years in the New York Institu-
ton for Deaf Mutes, Of which her
uncle, DR.. Harvey P. Peel, was one Of
the founders.

HuRRMNe COURSE OF NATURE.
Farm Life Brought Into Union Of
Cities and Towns.

The social conditions Of farm life
undoubtedly are deplorable in certain
parts Of the country, and in other
parts far from ideal, and yet there
can be no doubt that in considerable
section there has been a notable i'm
provement This has been the result
in the main Of three things; first, of
the telephone; second, Of the trolley,
and third, Of good roads. All three are
tending to make farm life less solitary
and to bring 1t into closer union with
the cities and towns In other words,
some Of the advantages Of town life
are being brought to the farms, and
this is tending nightly to give to
farm life more refinement and com.
fort and communication with the
outer world. This improvement which
has taken place in part of the coun-
try ought to extend to all parts, and,
while in general it may be said that
1t must inevitably come about as a
result of a natural economic progress.
yet much may be gained by the ap-
pointment Of the commission which

of two years following his appearance
IN the superior court on charge of

clared German had married Vonnie M.

carried to the superior court, where
German pleaded not guilty to the
charge on December 5. Three weeks
later he changed this to a plea of
guilty and was placed on probation for
two years.
His maritai t1oubles we're not ended,

ment of the marriage.

THREE ARRESTED ON
RECENT INDICTMENTS
Men Charged with Fraudulent Regis
tration in Ocean Park Election
Released on Bonds and
Gases Set

Three arrests were made yesterday
en- indictments handed down by the
grand jury late Wednesday. Three 9TH
er persons against whom indictments
We're returned at the same time are still
at large, one of whom is expected to
be placed under arrest at any moment,
while two are said to be outside the
state.
1t is the belief of the district attor-
ney's office that the latter two are
fugitives from justice and measures in
the way of extraeition proceedings will,
it is expected, be taken in order TO
bring them back to Los Angeles.
The men placed under arrest yester-
day are Edward r. Maier, Fred Lati-
mer and George Edwin Nagel, and all
are charged with fraudulent registration
in the Ocean Park election. The men
were each accompanied by their attor-
neys when they appeared in Judge
Conrey's court and bond in the sum OF
$4,000 was furnished in each case.
Maier's trial was set for March 13, Lati-
rneT's for March 16 and Nagels for
March II.
Maier is the younger of the brothers
in the Maser Brewing company. He
has a summer home in Ocean Park and
declares he had a right to vote or reg
lister there. A similar claim is made
in the cases of a number of other men
arrested in connection with alleged
frauds during the disincorporation cleo
ton.
Nagel is manager for F. B. Silver
wood, clothes, and rooms at the Jona-
than club, as does Latimer, who is

ship.
A few days ago he is said to have

a way not commensurate with her
nousewifely duties. and declared that
she wished to get rid of Knapp in
order that he might not be in COM
munity where he could talk about her.

said, she threatened to make represen-
tations 10 the probation officers that
he had not lived up to the promises
he made when placed on probation.

this mornin~, when witnesses will ap-
pear in his behalf. Mrs. Knapp is also
