CHILDREN
BURDEN ON PARENTS
CLUB WOMAN OPPOSES TAX
ON STUDENTS
"Graft Too Strong a Word" She Says,
but Admits njustice-YearIy
Change of Textbooks
Hard on Many

II do not believe the demands for
money from the school children should
be called graft; the S'ord is too strong
to fit the case" said ldrs. Florence Col
Inns Porter, addressing the California
Business Women's association In it's
club rooms in the Collins building last
night.
1.-THE constant collecting of small
amounts of money from school children
falls as a burden In many cases upon
parents who can Ill afford the expense.
This Is particularly true at this time.
have served as a member Of four
school boards in eastern states, where
we had free supplies. This included
books, pencils, paper, maps ana every
thing for the convenience and educa-
ton of the children.
1T am an advocate of free education
In California. A child under the free
supply system is not Inundated by
having to apply to a charity association
in order to have the necessary books
for his education.
I'm the eastern schools no collections
are taken at any time for anything,
and no presents given to teachers,
either in school or at their homes. The
flags for the schools are bought with
money from the school supply fund"
Several other club members spoke on
the subject. when Mrs, Porter invited
discussion. One woman said:
''As one who has suffered would
hail any system which would put an
end to the changing of text books each
year. If we must buy books, let us APP
peal to the school board to favor the
parents little more and the book deal
ers less"
The question was asked, Had not a
law been passed in the state Of Cali
fornia providing for free boks for the
public schools" Mrs. Porter said she
believed such law passed the senate.
but was vetoed by the governor.

ENDS LIFE BECAUSE
JOB WAS UNSTEADY
JEWELER TAKES CARB0LIc
ACID AT HOME
lie JovIaI at Supper, Then Bids Family
Goodby, RetIres to Bedroom and
Commits Suicide by Drink
Ing Poison

Otto j. Kreiger, a jeweler living at
1867 West Washington street. who came
here from Chicago eleven months ago,
committed suicide at his home last
night by drinking carbolic acid.
Kreiger killed himself few minutes
after taking supper with his family at
o'clock, and during the meal seemed
in unusually good spirits, chatting and
joking with his wife and his two chill
dren, girl of IA and a boy of 10 years.
After the close of the meal he arose
from HIS chair at the table, remarked
that he would go to bed and left the
room. He came back In a. few minutes
and babe his wife and children good by.
He then retired to the bedroom, and
1t was not until some minutes later
that his wife, detecting a strange odor.
went into the room and discovered her
husband lying on the bed with an
empty vial which had contained car
bolic acid by his side.
Mrs. Kreiger at once gave the alarm
and Drs. +. f. Barham and Frank By
ington were sent for, but when they
arrived the man was breathing his last
and they were unable to do anything
for him.
Dependency because of his inability
to secure a steady position is said to
have caused the deed. The body was
removed to Pierce Bros morgue.
