Juvenile Court Law Praised

Congratulatory letters have been re-
ceived by the civic section of the Cali
fornia club of which Mrs Louis Hertz
is the leader, regarding their Juvenile
court bill which was adopted by the
legislature. Among those who wrote
We're Judge Frank Oster of San Ber-
nardino, Judge Joseph Hughes of Sac
ramento and Judge Curtis ID. Wilbur
of Los Angeles. The latter said: "It
is the best Juvenile court law in ex-
istence at present" These letters were
read at the meeting of the section
yesterday morning.
Naughty little boys are TO have no
chance for nightly prowls abroad
henceforth, for the civic section took
hand in the matter of the curfew
law and, according to a letter received
by Mrs. Hertz from Chief of Police
Cook, this ordinance is to be rigidly
enforced hereafter.
ing of the supervisors police commit
tee Friday afternoon to show their
interest in the ordinance regulating the
moving picture shows.
A crusade is being made by State
Labor Commissioner Mckenzie against
firms that employ children of school
age, and a letter commencing his work
and requesting that he appoint a
woman as factory inspector was sent
by the section.
A committee has been formed under
the craftsmanship of Mrs. NJ. Hernon
to sew for the children confined at the
detention home. Meetings are held
there every Wednesday afternoon. and
all those who are interested are urged
to be present and assist the workers.

o Q o o
A Few Don'ts-As for .don'ts." re-
member these: Don't contract the
throat when speaking. Try to keep il
free, the cords flexible and easy to
manage. Don't forget that it is worth
practicing in the privacy of ones room
to learn the natural register, the tones
in which the voice works best.
BY these exercises there is not the
slightest danger of becoming declama-
tory. A declamatory style of conyersa-
tion is horror, but much will be
gained If one tries the experiment of
making a tone reach TO the next room
without raising the pitch of the voice.
This means deep breathing chest ex-
pansion and head held erect. Without
these three it is impossible to have a
good sDeaking voice-a fact worth re-
membering.

LIFE INSURANCE TO
BE PAID SECOND TIME
Suit Grew Out of Man and Wife
Being Killed in Disaster

Insurance companies have earned the
reputation since the disaster of paying
as little of the policies held against
them as possible. The first company to
pay a policy twice was placed on rec
ord yesterday. 1t has fallen to the in
surance society of the Ladies of the
Maccabees to have this rare distinction.
Daniel G. Hansen, wife and daughter
were killed in the earthquake. Mrs
Hansen carried $1,000 insurance. taken
out in Illinois. Her parents collected
the 81 900 in that state.
In California, however. the law holds
where a man and wife are killed in a
common calamity the woman dies first
On this presumption the case was
placed in the hands of Assistant United
States Attorney Carlos G. White by
Peter C. Hansen, father of the dead
man. Yesterday the court ordered the
insurance company to pay Peter Han
sen the amount of the, policy and in
terest The court held that Peter c..
Hansen had inherited the money from
his son, who inherited it from his wife.

going to a nickelodeon. Mills asserts

time yesterday morning and that they
were both intoxicated. Mills was taken
to the city prison and placed In de-
tinue. He is 40 years old and his wife
is four years his junior. Mrs. Mills

lief that Eastman told the truth in the
letter &c left for her, declaring that he
had not killed Mrs. Woodill, but had
been left by members of his bungalow

murder. She could, however, give no

LAST ACT IN TRAGEDY
OF EASTERN SHORE
Tury Draws Curtain and Shows Kindness to Memory of
Eastman by Declaring That He May Have Been
Only an Accessory to Crime.

ST MICHAELS, Md, June 29.-With
the verdict of the corOner's jury yes
terday that Mrs. Edith May Thompson
WCcdnl was murdered by Robert L.
Eastman singIe-handed or that he was
an accessory TO the crime, this little
town has begun TO settle down 10 its
accustomed quiet.
In the judgment of a great majority
of the people of this section, the jury
took occasion to be unusually kind to
the memory of Eastman when it declar-
ed that he might have been only an ac-
cessory. Nothing was brought out at
the hearing before the jury to give a
scintilla Of support to Eastmans claim
that she was killed by a drunken wom-
an. and all the circumstantial evidence.
which was very strong, indicated that
Eastman alone was the murderer.
Among those who testified yesterday
none except the mans widow told any
thing new. Mrs. Eastman, who is
known on the stage as Miss Winnie
Bradcombe, was heard when The Jury
was in session at McDaniels after hav-
Ing made tour of inspection of the
