Especial to The Herald

LONG BEACH. Oct. 11.-That he
had fought down a longing to steal
since he was IL years old and that an
older man forced him to attempt bur-
glary was the statement of Frank
Jameson. 10 years old, captured by
police and others after a long chase
down city streets and through a bar
ley field early this morning.
Octave Langham of 1895 Atlantic
avenue heard a burglar at work in the
house shortly after midnight. Lang
man called out and the burglar dashed
out the door by which he had entered.
Langman followed, yelling, and Ear
nest Dwinnell, who lives nearby, came
to his door and fired at the fleeing
burglar with his shotgun. Other
neighbors were aroused by the shots
and joined in the pursuit. A telephone
message was sent to police headquar-
ters and Chief Williams and Detective
Phillips hurried to join the chase.
The fugitive sought refuge in bar
ley field. The pursuers surrounded the
little field and Dw1nnell fired two
more shots from his shotgun. The
posse" gradually closed in around the
field and the police officers came upon
the fugitive, who was crawling along
the ground. He did not resist arrest
and is now in the city jail
He was recognized as Frank jane
son, who does not live far from the
house he tried to rob. He is the son
of William I. Jameson, a Pacific Elec-
trio section boss, living at 1144 At
lantic avenue.
The youth has not revealed the
name of the accomplice who, he says,
forced him at the point of two re-
volvers to enter Langham's house.
The only stolen property found in his
possession was a certificate of mining
stock which belonged to Langham.

STUDENTS MUST SIGN OR
THEY WILL BE EXPELLED
Crucial Test in Dispute Between Local
High School Authorities md
"Frats" Will Come This
Morning

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 11.-The
crucial test in the frat question al
the local high school is expected to
come Monday morning. The six stu
dents who were suspended last week
because they refused to sign the agree
ment to abandon their frat" mem
bership will then return to school, and
they will be asked again to sign the
agreement. If they refuse they will
be suspended once more.
President w. NJ. Parker today stated
that the board of education would
stand pat on the stand it had taken
in the matter, and that before the
pupils could return to their school work
they must sign the agreement, as the
other 234 students have done.
The rumor is out this evening that
the six students will again refuse to
sign the agreement, permit themselves
to be expelled and then mandamus the
board of education to show cause why
they should not be permitted to attend
school.
This rumor could not be traced to
an authoritative source and is regard
ed by the board of education largely
as a bluff. 1t is believed that at least
two or three of the students out of
the six suspended are now willing to
sign the agreement, and if that num-
ber do so the rest are expected to fall
into line.
The trouble is that certain of the
belligerent students are receiving COM
fort from outsiders who are politically
opposed to some of the present school
officials.
The claim is made by the boys fra
ternity that it receives members
whether they are high school pupils
or not and therefore that it is on a
plane with any outside organization
and not subject to discipline by the
school authorities. If this position is
allowed to win it would mean that the
girls fraternity would then adopt a
similar bylaw.

SHIPMENTS OF SEASONS
CROP OF WAI-NUTS BEGUN

The first cars of the seasons walnut
crop were shipped from Southern Cali
fornia last week, and shipments will
be lively from now on. Association
shipments will be about 600 cars and
outside growers will send out 200 cars
more.
A feature of the shipping of the
crop from Orange county is the use
of the new electric bleach at Ana
helm, which is doing excellent work.
1t is the invention resulting from the
efforts of the association to escape
litigation over the chlorine bleach for
merly used, although the case brought
by the associated growers to attack
the validity Of the chlorine patents
will be carried through the highest
courts. The new electric bleach con-
sists of a salt and water solution
throuhg which an electric current
passes. 1t will be adopted by all as
sociation growers. In addition to
bleaching satisfactorily it also acts
as a preservative.
