CHILDRFN'S BAZAAR
IS GREAT SUCCESS

A thousand persons were held up In
Los Angeles last night, and the police
were powerless to prevent tin fact
they fell victims themselves. The bold
robbers were pretty maids of the Ca
thedral school and the place of holdup
was in Turverein hall.
Last evening was the formal opening
of the bazaar which the children of
the school are giving to raise the nee
essary funds for much needed improve
ments in the school building. The ar
ticles had been prepared by the little
people and they were much in evidence
last night, all eager to help along in
the good cause.
Bishop Conaty and Monsignor Har-
nett were present last night for the
formal opening, both making addresses
of encouragement to the young people
formally opening the fair. Monsignor
Harnett humorously alluded to the fact
that at bazaars no introductions are
necessary and the bishop spoke Of the
six-shooters that might be produced by
the fair robbers If 1.-The goods were not

year $27,528.15 was expended for sala-
ries, leaving but $196369 for assessment
rolls and incidentals.
The assessment of $265, 57O,272 for the

1923. but Mr.. Mallard explains this
by saying the condition of banks and
business houses at the time he made
his assessment made 1t necessary FOR
him greatly to reduce some items.
This year is the first since 1880 when
the assessment has fallen below that
of the year previous, but that this
