Valuable Stones Recovered by Detec-
tlves from Home Of Couple.
Trade Brings About

Accused by the police of being whole
sale jewelry thieves, Leonardo Vett and
his wife, Lucia vett, who have fruit
store at 41s North Main street. were

They were held in $500 bail each for

Besides the charge on which the pair
were arrested, of theft of a pair of
from the Angelus Jewelry company,
217 South Spring street, it is said other
jewelry stores have suffered from their
depredations. About $1,000 worth of
diamonds, chains lockets, ETC., were
found In the little fruit store where the
Vets lived. Nearly every jewelry es-
adjustment in the city is at present
taking account OF stock to ascertain II
ii has been a victim of the pair.
The jewelry stores of j. G. Donovan.
235 South Spring street, and Thomas b.
Clark. 2O4 South Broadway, have re-
ported thefts to the police. A diamond
locket was taken from the Donovan
store in April. 1t has not been fecov-
cred. pair of diamond earrings was
stolen from the Clark store when 1t was
located at 451 South Spring. The police
say they have recovered 1t.
Trade Stolen Jewels
Wednesday the Vets appeared at
the Angelus store. They had dealings
with the managers previously and were
we'll known. Mrs. Vett produced pair
of cheap diamond earrings and said
that she wished to exchange them, to-
gether with small diamond stick pin,
for q pair of greater value. The ear
rings which she wished to exchange
were stolen from the store of l.. Berger,
204 South Spring street, April II. j:
Makowsky, one of the managers OF
the Angelus store, showed the Vets a
pair of earrings valued at sl75 ana
agreed to trade. The Vets were to pay
an additional sum. They said that they
would call the following day and con-
summate the bargain. AS an evidence
of good faith they left their own ear
rings with Mr.. Makowsky.
Shortly after they left the store dla-
monds were missed, and the police no
tilted Detective Mcnamara watched
the store Thursday. 1t Is thought the
Vets knew of the proposed trip OF Mr
Makowsky to San Francisco on that
day, for they hraved the chance and
returned to the store, Mr.. Makowsky
had not yet gone and identified them to
the officer.
In the miscellaneous collection of jew
eIry found secreted in the fruit store
was a ring and a gold chain stamped
with the private mark Of the Lucken-
bach jewelry store, 141 South Spring
Mr.. Luckenbach said as far as he knew
at present their firm had not suffered.
The Vett family came to Los Angeles
two years ago, and as far as known
have not been In trouble before.

CHILD SHOULD EARN
FOOD, SAYS EXPERT
EDUCATOR WOULD CULTIVATE
INDEPENDENCE
DR.. Landone Discusses Best Methods
Of Training Children In Order
That They May Attain High
est Development

1--WE are afraid we cannot earn our
living. We are afraid of our lives. we
are living as slaves, with a lack of the
power of earning our living. We are
afraid to speak our minds lest we be
discharged by our employer. and then
we could not earn our living: A new
race should be trained and reared.
whereby each child is taught from its
earliest years to earn its food, clothing
and shelter-those three great things on
which the evolution of the race de-
pends."
So said DR.. Leon Ebert Landone,
head of the new school for the develop
ment of children along lines advocated
by Luther Burbank and David Starr
Jordan.
The subject of the discourse yester-
day at Blanchard hall was "A New
Race-the Results of the New Educa-
ton of Jordan, Burbank and Others"
This is the last of the public lectures
which DR.. Landane will deliver at Los
Angeles, but he will continue his pri-
vate discourses as before.
He opened his remarks by telling OF
the struggles which Burbank had to
make to achieve success, and his evolv-
ing a new race of potato-as the speaker
termed it--which Is now the only good
potato in the world practically and
means a value of between 500, 000,0 DOC
and $30,000,0 900 a year to farmers OF the
United States alone. He related the
development of the red poppy and the
new kind of plum and chestnuts by
Burbank. Leland Stanford Sr.'s breed-
ing of a new race horse stock which
finally became a definite, fixed kind OF
a horse. superior to all others, was
described also.
The scientific processes followed by
Stanford In producing this new race OF
superior horses, selection of the best,
mating those combining the qualities
desired in the race, the segregation OF
these from the common run of horses,
and the cultivation and training OF the
colts were recommended by the
speaker as general lines along which
the development of the human race
might be made.
"Bring up the children right-not
along old methods" he said.
Every child should be taught to
earn it's own food. 1t ought to DO
something to earn the meals 1t eats-if
merely the buttoning of its own dress,
or arranging the napkins beside the
dinner plates.
"That child which has been trained
from earliest years to earn its food,
clothing and shelter, will not have that
most vital fear which paralyzes the
efforts of many older people today.
The loss of dressmaker or of a cook
has turned an entire family into q
paroxysm of fear; for the cooking of
three simple meals or the making OF
clothing was an utter impossibility for
those helpless ones"

WORD TO SAY FOR QUEEN

Chief of Police Ferguson has re-

and when questioned by World re-
porter as to the efficiency Of the po-

crowds and preserving order, the
Chief stated that the highest praise
was due to the members of the Queen
City's finest.
'The manner in which the large
crowds of sightseers were handled

the way in which the city was pa
trolled and the completeness of the
precautions taken by the police force
during the stay of the fleet that the
townspeople and visitors should re-
ceive ample protection from the

to be in the city is a monument Of
credit to the whole department Of
Seattle. With such throngs of peo-
pie in the city, many of whom were
unaccustomed to the strife and tur-
moil of large city, there was every
opportunity for accidents of all sorts,
but through the efforts of the police
and their extreme watchfulness these
accidents were averted or were of a
minor character.
The crooks managed to do little
business, but considering the crowds
and the possibilities, the amount was
very small. Too much credit cannot
be given the men who wore the he'll

They Saw (?) the Fleet.
Everybody, even father, went to
see the feet the past week and the
town has had that ".Goldsmith's De-

back. The victims are beginning to
return and there are various COM
ments on the Seattle Spirit which
was so generously CD displayed.
Especially does it shine out the
brighter after one has waited ex-
haustingly for train and had the
delightful pleasure of standing up
in one of Jim Hills cars all the way
to Seattle, and then to have to hang
up on pegs for restful repose, and of
building. But anyway they had the
satisfaction of seeing a few of Uncle

Christian way of making the heather

many more went by private rigs.
The crowd was SO great at Wenat-

to call off selling tickets and hold

The number which seemed to affect
the audience most and which caused
those present to shed copious tears
was a duet entitled, "The Lips that
Touch Liquor Shall Never Touch

Clark, entitled SHOW Me the Way to

preciated by the audience.
