MIRTHFUL SPEAKER is
ARRESTED AMID LAUGHTER
Patrolmen Join In MerrIment When
Humorist Tries to Make "Free
Speech" Without Commits
sioners' Permit

Robert Clay, a mechanic of 401 North
Los Angeles street; j. J. Hicks, mas
ter plumber of Pasadena; William Allen
and James Toland were arrested last
night and locked up in the city Jail
under charges of speaking on the
streets without written permits from
the police commission.
Fifty men and five women have been
arrested on this charge within the past
few months. The first twenty-five men
are either out on bail awaiting trial or
their cases are before the superior
court The last twenty-five men and
the five women have refused to give
bail and are nearly all in the city jail
awaiting trial. They claim the city
ordinance is unconstitutional.
The majority of those arrested are
Socialists, but members of other organ
izations who believe in free speech have
joined the movement, and men and
women from their members have gone
into the voluntary "martyrdom."
Managers of the free speech" cam
paign have a schedule and they send
in" to the Jail volunteers who announce
their willingness TO undergo the ordeal.
The feature of last nights procedure
was the extreme good humor of Robert
Clay, who took the whole affair as a
great joke. He laughed so heartily
when he mounted the soap box at
Seventh and Los Angeles that the en-
tire crowd of 1900 joined in his merri-
ment. The idea of making a speech
seemed to be intensely humorous to
Clay. The patrolman laughed with the
man, but made no move to stop him,
as the ordinance says nothing about
laughing aloud in public. When Clay
oyercame his risibilities long enough
to talk he said:
81 stand here in the defense of the
constitution of the United States" The
multitude applauded loudly. This so
pleased Clay that he broke into up
roarious laughter and was Joined by
the officers. A patrolman stepped for
ward, controlled his mirth, and asked
Clay if he had permit to speak.
'eWby, friend, l have the constitu-
TONS permit" replied Clay with utmost
good nature The officer smiled and
gently took hold of the jocular speaker s
arm. Lets go down to the station
and~laugh it out with the captain" said
the policeman.
Nothing would please me more than
to have a smile with your chief" re-
piled the humorist, and they walked
away arm in arm.
T. i. Hicks followed and was given
two minutes talk, the officers evincing
interest in his words. The other two
arrests were quickly achieved and
the crowd returned to the Tot" where
they smoke without interference, A
meeting was held at Seventh and Main,
where there was no interruption, all
though each speaker declared he had
no police permit to speak. Traffic was
blocked there and the speakers adj
journed to a point where traff1c would
not be interfered with and the arrests
followed.

PUBLIC WARNED OF
DANGER FROM FLIES
DISEASE GERMS ADHERE TO
THEIR FEET
City Bureau of Health Urges House,
keepers to XIII off Pests by
Cleanliness and Use Of
Screens

There are only two ways of guarding
against the disease germs introduced
into every home by the comon house
fly. One is to make the fly wipe its
feet before entering and the other Is
to exterminate the fly. AS the first is
impracticable the latter method is adj
vised in a. recent warning from the
city's bureau of health.
1t has been shown by microscopic
examination that the foot OF a fly is
covered with q mass of assorted germs,
only waiting for their proper culture"
to spread disease.
Cleanliness is strongly advised by the
physicians of the health bureau, for 1t
is well known that flies require filth or
dust in which to breed.
Files gather quickly wherever there
is filth of any kind" said one of the
physicians yesterday, land particularly
around garbage cans. From these the
infection is brought into the homes
Keep your homes clean and fresh, get
rid of the garbage as son as possible
and exterminte the flies.
Keep the fly out of your home and
if he won't be kept out then kill him.
The ordinary housefiy is one or the
common means of communicating dis
ease and in it's contact with the sleep
ing baby the insects feet may be the
conveyor of some disease germ.
"If housekeepers will only take the
time, they can keep their homes COM
paratively free of flies. Proper screen
ing of doors and windows. and keeping
the unused rooms dark will go a long
way to making the visit of Mr.. Fly
distasteful to the insect. Darkening
room does not mean that ventilation
Is to be suspended.
"Above all things, keep the household
food free from the attacks of flies, and
more particularly than any other food
keep that of the b&by's away from the
flies. Baby's life may be made more
comfortable and also will more success
fully resist the disease-breeding flies
by the purchase of some cheap netting
to throw around the little ones sleep
ing place"

SCHOOL BOARD FILES
ESTIMATE FOR YEAR
ASKS COUNCIL FOR NEAR HALF
MILLION
Total Amount Required to Conduct
Educational Branch of Govern
ment Placed at More Than
Million and Half

The first estimate submitted this
year from any of the city departments
for the guidance of the council in max
ing up the annual budget was filed by
the board of education yesterday. IN
it's estimate the board asks the city
for an appropriation of $478,63l.bf.
The state apportionment is figured as
follows: 724 census takers at $3.50,
1898, 200; 2S,9S5 pupils in average at
tendance during the past year at $lIo0,
S507, 237. 80; state high school fund,
So, 176. Rent from Mercantile place,
known as the Spring street school
property, produces a revenue OF $2o,OOO
for the year. The amount remaining
on hand from last years apportion-
ment from all sources is $S9. 1854
Total amount from other sources tnan
the city tax fund is $1,051, 349.74 Total
amount the board estimates will be
REQUIRED for the year, $1,529, 9S1. 81. This
leaves the remainder of $478,63l.67 for
the city to pay If the board is to re-
ceive all it asks.
Under the law the city must provide
all the money required for kindergar-
tens, evening schools, manual training,
domestic science, art instruction, mu-
sic. health inspection. truant schools,
supervision. etc, or, in short, all the
extra cost involved in conducting the
schools as high grade public schools,
that distinguishes them from mere
country schools, such as the state pro-
vides.
OF the $47s,63 required from the
city the $2O1, 1853 required for the sal
aries of high school teachers may pc
raised by a special tax levied for hlgn
school maintenance and the $44Uo re-
quired for the parental school must De
raised by a special tax. This leaves
the amount to be provided by the city
from the general fund $272,75S.57.
