CIosely-Latter Sobs
Piteously

UNION CITY, Tenn, Jan. 5-For the
first time during the trial of the night
riders Mrs. Quentin Rankin, widow of
the man for whose murder the alleged
night riders are now on trial, was in
court today when the arguments be-
gan. She was clad in deep mourning.
Major Hal Holmes opened for the
state. AS the attorney pictured Capt.
Rankin as one of the cleanest, purest
men in Tennessee, and described his
fearful end, Mrs. Rankin broke down
and leaning upon the shoulder of her
sister, sobbed piteously.
Two Of the accused men gazed close
ly at her., their faces working involun-
tarily. They were 'Tid'' Burton and
Bob Hoffman. The latter is the man,
who, according to at least twenty wit
nesses, fired the shot that pierced Ran
kin's heart as he was slowly strangling
to death while hanging from the forked
tree at Walnut Log.

ficIaIs

A NY voter of Los Angeles who fails
~ to cast ballot on the school bond
election will have failed in one Of
the most sacred duties of citizenship
will have neglected one of the greatest
privileges of a sovereign member of the
commonwealth and will have wronged
the children of this city by refusing to
help them secure the education which is
their right" declared a prominent citi-
zen and an advocate of the school bond
issue last night.
Never in the history of Los Angeles
has a special election aroused so much
general interest. This is due chiefly
to the fact that the majority of citizens
of Los Angeles have in past years been
personally affected or in some manner
directly impressed by the utter lack of
adequate accommodation for school
children in this city. Every school child
in Los Angeles knows what it is to
stand in line for a chance to enter some
of the overcrowded public schools.
Every child in this city can tell a
story of overcroWded schoolrooms
where every available inch of space has
been filled with additional seats to ac-
commodate the ever increasing number
of children who come here to seek an
education. Every 'overworked teacher
|
will show the present school accommo-
dations are utterly inadequate to take
care of the children who apply for ad-
mission.
Facilities inadequate
In 1900 the population of this city was
102,479 and the schools were even then
overcrowded; now, with population of
302 604, many school children have to
stand in line over night to get a chance
to toto
ing list because there is not sufficient
accommodation for them.
The Los Angeles high school and the
Polytechnic high school each has ac-
commOdation for 1900 pupils. The Poly
technic has 2100 enrolled and the Los
Angeles high school has 1000. A new
| high school is needed and could be filed
with pupils tomorrow if 1t existed.
| Over 800 children were placed on the
waiting list in December because there
was not accommodation for them in the
two high schools. Next month there
will be 1915 pupils ready to graduate
from the grammar schools and enter
the high schools, but there will be no
place for them, as only $50 students will
graduate from the two high schools at
that time.
Merchants and manufa cturers have
generally consented to allow their en-
ployes opportunity to go to the voting
places and cast their ballots.
School Children Parade
School children spent the afternoon
yesterday working for the bond cleo
ton, distributing literature and paying
personal calls upon voters Of their
acquaintance. Six hundred boys from
the Los Angeles high school marched in
column from the school down Broadway
to Spring yesterday afternoon with ban
ners flying. 1--WE want more schools"
was their slogan. These same boys
gathered together twenty-five automo-
biles and visited every school in town,
urging the pupils Of the other institu-

HOUSE MAY ADOPT
DRASTIC MEASURES
AGAINST PRESIDENT
PART OF MESSAGE LIKELY TO
BE EXPUEGED
Executives Criticisms of SoIons ReIa-
tive tp Secret Service Expected
to Cause Severe Re-
sentiment

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-Drastic
measures were considered today by the
Perkins special committee of the house
appointed to recommend action in de-
fense of that body in reply to the criti-
cism made by the president in his an
nual message in referring to secret SER
vice legislation.
After a meeting of that committee a
report spread that the committee would
recommend that portion of the mes
sage referring to the secret service be
eXpunged from the record.
Another report was that the recent
message in reply to the request for
more information on the subject would
be returned to the chief executive.
Neither report could be confirmed.
A report probably will be agreed upon
by the committee tomorrow, and it is
thought that the house will be called
upon to take action Thursday.
Friends of the president will resist
any drastic action that may be recon-
mended. On the other hand Represen-
tatives TaWney, Smith, Shirley and
Fitzgerald are preparing to defend
themselves against the references to
them in the message.

Law OF Attraction.

The attractions OF men to women
and women TO men are full Of the most
perplexing Inconsistencies and contra
dictions imaginable. II is. for instance,
a physical law that magnetism is not
simple attraction Of one thing for an
other. but the difference of two oppos-
ing forces of attraction and repulsion,
OF which the former is the greater.
The same law holds in relation to the
attraction OF men and women for each
other. In which, as a rule, the mascu-
line is the superior force.-T. P.'s
