TEACHERS SELECTED FOR
M0NR0VIA HIGH SCHOOL
Three New Members on Faculty to
Fill Places Vacated by Res
ignations

MONROVIA, June 14.-The Monrovia
board of trustees has made public the
selection of the high school faculty for
the ensuing school year The faculty
will be composed of the following mem
bers: Prof E. E. Knepper, principal;
Miss Blanche Graham, assistant prin-
cipal and teacher of English; Miss
Mabel Hoag, teacher of Latin and
Greek; Miss Florence Hallen, teacher of
science; Miss Sophie Solomon, teacher
of music and drawing; Miss Bessie
Hoag, teacher of history; Miss Clara
Rooksby, teacher of mathematics; Prof.
julius Behnke, professor of modern
languages.
Miss Bessie Hoag, Miss Rooksby and
Professor Behnke are additions to the
faculty to take the place of three teach
ers who resigned during the past term.
Miss Hoag has recently completed a
post graduate course at Stanford uni
versity and Is also a gradute of that
college.
Miss Rooksby taught in the Monrovia
schools from 1894 to 1900, and has since
been teaching in Whittier and Alham-
bra.
Professor Behnke has been teaching
in Los Angeles for sixteen years and
leaves a position at Occidental in the
department Of modern language with
which he had been connected for six
years to fill the chair at Monrovia high
school. 1t is probable that another
teacher will be employed in the COM
mercial and bookkeeping departments.
although no decisive steps have as yet
been taken. This latter department has
been a recent installment and a proven
success during the past year.

THROW ORANGES TO ELKS

preparations are being made by the
Monrovia board of trade for the enter
tainment of the Elks during their con-
vention in Los Angeles. Plans are now
being drawn for a large float to be

a large tallyho decorated with flowers
and blossoms and filed with pretty
girls ard oranges, which latter will be
thrown to the crowd as samples of
Monrovia's products.

to its new quarters in the w. H. Evans

been decided.

CASE OF WOMAN ACCUSED
OF ARSON is CONTINUED
Her Attorneys Say Miss {. Pearl
Dubbs Is Very III at Her
Home

PASADENA, June 14.-Attorney
Harry N. Ticknor, counsel for Miss e.
Pearl Dubbs, this afternoon appeared
before Judge Robert NJ Mcdonald in
police court to ask that the preliml-
nary examination of the woman on the
charges of burglary and arson be put
over until June "a at 10 o'clock, in
order, he said, that the defense might
secure expert testimony as to the
health of the defendant. AS the prose-
cutting attorney made no objection the
case was put over as desired.
Miss Dubbs is said to beJvery Ill in
her home. at the corner of Idaho street
and Crescent drive. Suffering Ill
health for the past two years. and of
exceedingly nervous temperament, her
confinement in the Los Angeles coun-
ty Jail on the serious charged alleged,
coming as it did so close to her having
witnessed, and, in a minor way, par
ticipated in the Kelsey tragedy, made
heavy inroads on her strength. Phys1-
clans in attendance say today her tenn
perature is 102 and that her condi-
ton is grave.
1t was not until it became apparent
that SHE was really i'll that her father
consented to aid her in securing bail.
There is a possibility that the charges
preferred by j. L. Clark of Altadeua,
whose house she is alleged to have
broken into and fired after robbing 1t
of such trinkets as she could find, may
be withdrawn in favor of another.
Her attorney refused to talk this
afternoon regarding this possibility,
but the desire to secure expert evil
dence as to her condition seems signi-
ficant Miss Dubbs still firmly denies
having anything to do with the rob-
berry and affirms she is unable to ac-
count for the presence in her room of
the watch stolen from the Clark home.

MONEY NEEDED TO
INSURE STEAMSHIP
COMMITTEE WILL TRY TO
RAISE $4,000
If Small Sum Is Secured in Long
Beach, 100000 Municipal
Vessel Will Be Con-
structed
lsnecIal 70 rhe Hera!d.l


LONG BEACH, June 14.-Whether or
not Long Beach shall have a steel
steamship bearing the towns name
and plying up and down the coast VIII
depend on the developments OF the
next few days and the results of the
canvass of the committee, which prob
ably will start out tomorrow in the
quest of the $4,000 which must be
raised here.
The proposed steel steamship would
be 26O feet long, with accommodations
for $50 passengers and $500 tons of
freight. Swain & Hoyt, a San Fran
cisco firm, have agreed to take half
or more Of the stock in the vessel
and enough has been promised by
eastern men to leave only $4,000 to be
raised here, while the cost of the yes
sci would be $255, 900. John F. Craig
has an option on a quantity of steel
and has offered to build the snip at
his shfpyard at about $4,000 less than
the usual cost.
r. H. Swain, the San Franciscan in
terested. with Phillip S. Teller, also
of san Francisco, attended a meeting
at the National bank this afternoon
of the local committee appointed by
the chamber of commerce to work up
the proposition.
They submitted a definite agreement,
giving the people here until July l to
be in San Francisco, but the incorpora-
ton could be here.
About $4,000 has been subscribed or
offered here and the men interested
believe the project will be carried out.
