OLD INDIAN WOMAN
IN JAIL Nine MONTHS
RELEASED AS PAUPER
Legal Aid Society Comes to Relief of
Marie Rios, Held Long in
Prison Without
Hearing

On an afternoon train that left La Grande
sattion yesterday there was happy old Indian
woman, Marie Rios, who was on her way back
to the reservation in San Bernardino after hav-
ing been released from the county Jail. where
she has been a. prisoner nine months on the
charge Of selling liquor to her people. She was
accompanied to the train by Miss Holt of the
Associated Charities and all the way the old
woman, who is past so, babbed her delight
unrestrainedly, on being once more free and
on her way to her family
If the case of Marie had not by chance been
brought to the attention of the Legal Aid So
ciety through their prison worker, Mrs. Rey-
mold Blight she might still be behind the
bars She had been in prison six months when
Mrs. Blight first learned she needed assistance.
She had no friends and money and appar-
emily had been forgotten by the authorities.
The matron, Mrs. Shehigh, said she was a
model of patience and one of the neatest pris-
room each morning she would sit down on the
floor with her cards and tell her fortune over
and over, always putting the pack out of sight
under her apron when the matron came in,
thinking it was displeasing to the latter.
The Legal Aid society engaged Miss Philale-
and secure the old womans release if possible.
Miss Nicholson secured a hearing before the
federal court and old Marie was convicted and
a. fine of 500 with one hundred days in Jail
imposed. Yesterday Miss Nicholson with
her client appeared before United States Dis
trict Attorney Oscar LAWYER and upon her filing
a paupers certificate to the effect that Marie
was granted. The Associated Charities fur
nished her transportation, and wearing a new
dress provided for her by Mrs Blight the old
woman started home rejoicing

PROFESSOR TO GIVE
ELECTRICAL EXHIBIT
Head of Science Department of Poly
technic High School Will Deliver
Illustrated Lecture at the
Auditorium

Prof. Harry La Verne Twining. head Of the
science department of the Polytechnic high
school, will give an electrical entertainment
AMI illustrated lecture tonight in the Polytech-
mic auditorium to the students Of the school
and their friends.
For the past two years Prof. Twining has
given similar entertainments, but the to-
night is expected to surpass anything he has
yet attempted. There will be a greater
amount of high voltage electricity handled on
the stage than in any entertainment of this
nature yet seen on this coast.
Aside from the entertainment itself the
greatest point Of interest is the fact that nearly
all he apparatus to be used in the demonstra-
electricity engine ering classes. The greatest
piece of work that the students have con-
structed and perhaps the largest Of its kind
in the west is a huge Tesla coil completed
last year. which gave a 22-inch spark at the
time. Since the first experiments the coil
has been remodeled and the serious difficulty
caused by the loss of current from imperfect
insulation partly overcome The coil has been
made to produce a 36-inch spark and will be
exhibited the stage tonight.
The lecture will be demonstrated with an
up-to-date wireless telegraph apparatus and
an ordinary resonator giving beautiful brush
discharges. A number of vacuum and Brooks
tubes will be displayed with many other cleo
trIcal wonders.
AS a final number on the program there will
be an amusing feature entitled the Devil S
dance,' an original conception by Prof. Twin
ing.
A number Of Prof. Twining's students will
assist in the program and the Polytechnic
boys glee club will render one musical num-

years of age, who lives at 645 Buena

ing hospital yesterday morning vic
tim of the Los Angeles-Pacifi electric
car which collided with his house at
an early hour in the morning when
the inmates were asleep.
When the electric car left the track
and made it's sudden entrance into the
sleeping apartment Of the Hernandez
home AliSeO was awakened with a
rude shock and partially stunned, lay
moaning and thinking a terrible earth
quake had struck Los Angeles.
When rescuers pulled him out of the
house they found that a large adobe
brick had fallen on the chest of the
LAD. causing severe bruises. His in
juries were dressed at the receiving
hospital. No serious results are con-
templated from the bruises.
When the car broke loose on the
Sunset boulevard hill it leaped a small
embankment of dirt and tore off the
front of two houses on Buena Vista
street. The occupants were naturally
greatly alarmed at the untimely in
vasion of their premises by the huge
electric car. No serious injuries re-

TEACHER WINS FIGHT
AGAINST COUNTY BOARD

That a county board of education has
no right to revoke the certificate issued
to teacher by the state normal school
was the decision of Judge Conrey yes
terday in disposing of the petition of
Katherine F. Coughlin for a writ of
prohibition to prevent the board of ed
ucation of Kern county from removing
her as teacher in the primary and
grammar grades and revoking her GER
tificate.
The county board ordered Miss
Coughlin's removal because she failed
to make an annual report to the county
superintendent. She carried the case
into court. and her contention that the
board had no right to take this action
was upheld.

BEGIN SAVING AND SEE
YOURSELF GROW

The moment a young man
begins to save his money sys-
tematically he becomes
larger man.
He takes broader views of
life and begins to have better
opinion of himself. Trust takes
the place of doubt, and self
confidence replaces fear.
The man with nothing in the
bank is handicapped. He finds
himself unable to compete sue
cessfully with those of thrifty
habits, and is forced to the rear
in the race.
If you want to grow, If you
are ambitious to cut some fig
ure in the world and enjoy the
fruits of success, you must save
and invest your money. There
is no other way.
One dollar will start you
right. And we will be glad to
show you how to begin. Call

OLYMPIA, Jan. 19.-Speaker
Meigs in the appointment of his
public morals committee ran as
close to the line of division be-
tween the stringent and anti
stringent as was possible. His
aim was evidently to please both
sides, and as usual, the result is
that neither is satisfied. The pub
lie morals committee will get the
local option and the race track
bills for consideration, and the
recommendations, amendments,
etc, the committee makes is gen.
orally supposed will have serious
effect on the action of the house
as a whole.
The committee Is composed of:
Stringents, John Anderson, Whal-
ley, Mcclure and H. w. Thomp-
son; anti-stringents, Norris, An
derson wv. IT,, Hayward and
Erickson.
Fisher of Port Angeles is the
ninth and odd member of the COM
mittee, and he Is the doubtful
one. Both sides claim Fisher, so
on the face of it the committee
stands Az to Az, which is all
right in common fractions, but
wrong in legislation.
Fisher has been quite careful In
defining his position. He insists
that he stand on the republican
state and county platform, but To-
cal option in the platforms is of
the reasonable" variety" and has
nothing to do with the measure
proposed by the emissaries of the
anti-saloon league.
The makeup of the public NOR
ais committee rather proves what
the opponents of Meigs contended,
that ne was not out and out local
option. as was claimed early in
the speakership fight. Whether
or not the fact that the commit
tees majority fayors the Anti-Sa-
loon league or the Royal Arch
ought to tell the tale. And the

In securing the services of the
former Giant, Robson accpm-

a manager and a grand player at
the same time.
Bresnahan should make gpeat
manager. He knows every trick
in the game, can do everything a
good player should be able to do,
and, above all, is imDued with
that fighting spirit SO essential.
Right off the reel, Roger is go
ing to be handicapped in his fight

Whether this can be done this
year is something that time alone
can determine, but the fans of st.
Louis can rest assured that they
will get run for their money.
The team headed by "Bres" will be
hustling every minute it is on the
field.
The new Cardinal leader Is en-
titled to his promotion as RE-
ward for his long and faithful
performances as a Giant.
His career as a manager will be
watched by thousands who will
pull for his success, because all the
world loves fighter, and National
league followers know Roger is
imbued with this spirit.
