in America. 1t is the constitution of
the United States 1t says that
the people have right to peaceable
assemblage."
'"This is the strongest thing III Union

aloft his club.
Suddenly the demonstration fell back
before the bluecoats "Then man in
the thrOng started the "Marseillaise "
The great throng took it up. In an in
French revolution was echoiug through
the vast square. Surging in and out,
keeping a head of the clubs of the
police, the red hats lodged They bore
NOTICES like this:

NEEDLE SWALLOWED
YEAR AGO IS TAKEN
FROM BOYS KNEE
Six-Year-old Lad Treated at Receive
ing Hospital, Where Physicians
Perform operation--SteeI
Corroded

The 6-year-old son of NJ. E. Wise of
t165 East Twenty-eighth street was
treated at the receiving hospital last
night for a peculiar injury received
more than year ago.
At that time the little fellow swal-
lowed a half OF needle which he had
picked up from the floor and placed
in his mouth. Efforts at that time to
remove the needle from the stomach
were unaVailing, and as the boy suf-
fered no serious consequence from it
the matter was finally forgotten and
the belief lodged in the parents minds
that perhaps the little fellow had not
swallowed the needle after all.
A few days ago small swelling ap-
peared on the boys left leg just below
the knee, and as it became more pain
full the lad was taken to the receiving
hospital where DR.. Tanner placed him
under the X-ray machine and the
needle was plainly disceEned lodged
near the surface.
The bit of steel was removed and
was found to be corroded until it had
grown to almost double it's original
size

FIREMAN RANG FALSE
ALARMS, SAYS CAPTAIN
Member of Local Department Is Held
at Central Station, Charged
with Summoning the
Wagons

w. j. Anderson, a member of COM
pany No. 10, Los Angeles fire depart
ment, was arrested early yesterday
morning on a charge or sending in false
fire alarms. He is held prisoner at the
central police station.
1t is alleged Anderson turned in two
alarms from the box at Grand avenue
and Jefferson street and attempted to
send in alarms from three other boxes
at Twenty-first and Figueroa, Thirtieth
and Figueroa and Jefferson and Figue-
roa streets.
when arrested Anderson denied hav-
ing any knowledge OF the offense with
which he is charged" said Battalion
Chief Todd. HE denied having turned
in the alarms and said he did not know
the location of the box. He claimed he
was not nearer the box at Grand and
Jefferson than three blocks.
At first we could get no information
from him, and 1 suggested that the
police who had arrested Anderson leave
and allow me to talk with him alone.
After they had departed Anderson adj
mitted having sent in the alarms, and
asked me how many alarms came in.
He said he thought he had turned In
alarms from every box in town. He
box but the one at Grand and JEFF
ferson, but 1 ordered men to examine
the alarm boxes in this section and
found three others had been molested.
THE box at Twenty-first and Figue-
roa had the glass broken, but the hook
was not pulled down. The Offenders
nerve probably failed him and he de-
cideG to try another place. At Thir-
tieth and Figueroa glass was shattered
but no alarm turned in.
The box at jefferson and Figueroa
had the glass broken and the hook was
jerked down with such force as to
h-eak the sprinG and jam the dial
which short~circuited the mechanism,
preventing the alarm from registering.
1.-The box at Grand and Jefferson had
the glass broken and the hook was
pulled twice.
IT do not know what action will be
taken in the case. The ordinance
against tampering with alarm boxes is
broad one and the penalty is severe.

FORTUNE IN NEW BILLS
GONE FROM YUcATAN BANK
TWENTY ARRESTS MADE IN
PENINsULAR SCANDAL
Los Angeles Hears of Sensational Dis
appearance of Funds from Strong
Box to Which Four Men
Had Access

Deputy City Clerk Charles Wilde,
who is interested in Central American
development work, has just received
tidings of a sensational disappearance
of $470,0O0 in bills taken from the Banco
Yucateco in Yucatan.
The case is considered the biggest
scandal the peninsula has known, and
the state are under arrest.
Last September, when it was found
necessary for the banks of Yucatan to
seek financial assistance in the City of
Mexico, a thorough accounting was
made and conditions found all right.
On December 81 last another account
ing was made and new bills of the in
stitution representing $47O,000 had van
ished.
These bills were new and crisp, held
in an iron box to which there were two
keys, in a safe on which there were
two combinations.
One combination and one key were in
possession of Mateo Ponce, former
cashier, and the other key and COM
bination were in possession of the as
sistant manager, Fernando Urzais Rod
riguez These men and their relatives
have been kept under espionage by the
police because of that fact.
The Investigations are continuing
with severity by the secret police,
twenty persons being under arresl.
The authorities have reason to be-
lieve that 100000 will be recovered
shortly, and the hiding place of the
other money may be uncovered through
confessions.
The directors of the Bank of Yucatan
believe much of the money will also be
gained from the sureties.

Science is accomplishing for the stu

Founder of Christian Science
1.-THE world is somewhat accustomed
to Christian Science today, and it is a
welcome subject in many circles, and
its wonderful and blessed achieve
ments are generally acknowledged,
but there was q time when Mrs. Eddy
was the only Christian Scientist on
earth, when she stood absolutely alone
with God before the whole world and
incurred the ridicule of ignorance and
the hostility of theoretical forms of
religion and material modes of rnedi-
cine because of her discovery of Chris
tian Science. No hope of material re-
touched or tainted the consciousness
of the one whose thought was high
and pure enough to discover Christian
Science. fraught with the divine posi-
bilities of infinite blessings for man
kind. Mrs. Eddy knew that the Christ
method had appeared to her. On page
10S of her book, Science and Health
With Key to the Scriptures she
speaks of this experience particularly
She knew that it had come to her
through no selfish desire, but through
striving to be good and to do good.
That this spiritual light should appear
to her was unquestionably a God-given
privilege, but it entailed untold sacri-
flee and self-abnegation, for not other
wise could it be made available to suf-
fering and sinful humanity"

/ teen of extremely simple character
Sometimes the overskirt is simulate d
by bands or deep tucks. Again the
skirt itself is draped slightly at tho
side, the front or the back. A new
pleated skirt is seen with the pleats
caught up slightly at each side and al
lowed to break in cascade folds. Both
gored and pleated skirts are shown
with fold trimmings put on in over
skirt effect.
At the openings one sees more small
hats, toques and turbans than chap
eaux of the picture variety. The for
mer especially have been brought out
In large numbers and one of the most
popular types has a crown of medium
height with the brim turned up sharply.
In these small hats the crown as IL
rule is rather high and frequently quite
large, many crowns being of the derby
type.
If present indications prove correct
good many sailor hats will be worn this
season and as this shape is extremely
becoming to the great majority of wo-
men and especially young girls the
feminine world should rejoice thereat.
