PREFERS PENITENTIARY TO
LIFE HE HAS BEEN LIVING
Larry Watson confesses to Several
Crimes, and Says He Stole Be-
cause Of IdIeness and Pos
slbIe Starvation

Two complaints were filed yesterday
in Justice Selph's court against Larry
Watson, an 1S-year-old boy of Holly
wood, charging burglary. His bonds
were fixed at $500 and a preliminary
examination will be held November 5.
Watson is alleged to have robbed the
Central Hardware and Supply COM

store at Colegrove. The boy said he
had been making his own way in the
world since he was 1S years old, and
he stole because he could find no work
and was afraid of starving. He learned
the printers trade in Hollywood two
years ago, and since that time has led
a rowing life, travelling to northern
states, and south as far as Mexico
He confessed to the officers he had
committed a number of crimes, and
asked to be sent to the penitentiary
rather than continue the life he had
been living recently.

CHILDREN TO GREET TARS
Twelve Thousand Pupils to Turn
Out at Parade

OAKLAND. April 19.-Twelye thou
sand school children, constituting the
entire membership ofsthe public schools
of this city. will be massed together
along the line of march of the parade
of May in honor of the arrival of the
fleet This new feature of Oaklands
reception TO the men of the navy was
suggested by Mayor Mott in a speech
before the members of the feet COM
mittee and was Immediately adopted
as one of the most effective ideas yet
presented
The children will be grouped on both
sides of the line of the parade at a
point to be decided upon by the city
officials and the heads of the school
department. In view of the great space
required to accommodate the army of
young Americans the location will
probably be chosen somewhere in the
Lakeside district, which, from a scenic
standpoint. is peculiarly fitted as a
background for the spectacular gath
ering.
Each child who participates in the
grand review will be provided with
flags and flowers. and as the man %
wars men march between the double
lines of Oakland's younger generation
they will be greeted with one OF the
most enthusiastic demonstrations of
their visit. In all probability the vast
assembiage of youngsters will be be-
sprinkled with hundreds of fair school
ma ans who will act as marshals for
their youthful charges.
Complete arrangements for the chill
dren's review will be made during the
coming week, and the teachers will be
asked to rehearse their classes for the
picturesque part they are to take in

SELECT DELEGATES
FOR PRIMARY FIGHT
Lincoln-Ro Roosevelt League Clubs
Name Representatives for
Conventions

OAKLAND, April 1s.---with their
campaign mapped out to carry on q
primary fight in Alameda county for
delegates to the third congressional
republican convention and the state re-
publican convention. the Lincoln Roose-
welt league district clubs have COM
menced the selection of their dele-
gates. In the fifty-first district, inside
OF the city. the league has chosen the
following named representatives;
For delegates to state convention,
Thomas NJ Gardiner, w. A. Dow. DIR. B.
B. Masten. Robert Oliphant; to district
convention, DIR. T B. Holmes, George
tum Suden, John Mole and d. r. Augs-
berg.
In this district the call provides for
the election of four delegates and the
appointment of four. The four to be
appointed under the Herrin program
are to come from the fifty first district,
outside of the city, including all OF
Brooklyn township. The league has
decided to leave to the members In
Fruitvale, Melrese and elsewhere In
the outside territory the naming OF
four. delegates who will be chosen at
a primary which will be held May 8.
simultaneously with the election con-
Quoted in districts which are covered
by the mandatory state law.
Registration of voters in the seventh
ward for the May primaries. this ward
&tng large part OF the fifty-first as
sembly district, is one of the remark
able incidents OF ante-election moves.
More than 1,f00 names were enrolled
up to and including April 15, the last
day of registration for the May 5
primaries. The total registration of
the ward for the general election last
year was 1000. This comparison has
been taken as evidence of an extra ordi-
nary interest in the primaries by the
citizens of the ward.
The Lincoln Roosevelt league leaders
in the fifty-first district express the
utmost confidence in the situation They
assert with much assurance that the
league will sweep the district. To
accomplish this result every league
vote Will be necessary, for the fifty
first is the stronghold Of County Clerk
Jack" Cook, who has reigned for sew
eral years as the political dictator of
that district Every device, trick and
job known to ring politics will be ex-
erted to save the district to the Herrin
machine.
Victory for the Lincoln Roosevelt
league and allied forces Of good goy-
ernment would mean the entering
wedge to split and ultimately destroy
the political power OF County Clerk
Cook there. His defeat would also
mean the beginning of the end of ma
chine control of the board of super
visors and the cleaning out Of the
jobbery which has served among other
things to fatten Dargie and the graft
permeated Oakland Tribune
The Lincoln Roosevelt league will
hold a big rally Monday evening at
Melrose hall in East Fourteenth street,
one block from the Southern Pacific
station at Melrose. Charles s. Wheeler,
