SECCOMBE AND LANDERS
ADMIT GUILT; ARE FINED
Independent Order of the Arrowhead
Is Dlsbanded Just Before
Trial

ONTARIO, Sept. 1O.-Charged with
violating the county liquor ordinance,
Fred Seccombe and c. A. Landers,
president and secretary of the Inde-
pendent Order of the Arrowhead, We're
brought before Jude Pollock for ar
raignment this afternoon. The district
attorney and Sheriff Ward arrived here
in the morning, ordering Seccombe
and Landers to appear at / o'clock.
The latter at once repaired to Chino,
where a meeting of the club was held.
A quorum being present, it was de-
cided to disband the organization. The
men then drove to Ontario, arriving a
few minutes late.
Neither of the men had attorneys
They stated that while technically
guilty, they were not aware at the time
they had violated the county ordinance
and asked for leniency on the part of
the court. They did not appear to take
the matter seriously, laughing and
Joking throughout the arraignment.
Both pleaded guilty. I'VE waive every
thing" said Landers in a careless tone
of voice. Judge Pollock after consid-
ering the matter for short time, fined
Landers 500 and Seccombe SIS. An
order was given them by Under Sheriff
Ward for the goods which had been
confiscated at the time of the raid.
After paying their fines the men took
the next train to San Bernardino.

u. S. PAYS SALARIES TO
HARD WORKING CATS
Busy Fellnes Draw from Eighteen to
Thirty-five Dollars Each
Year

If all the cats regularly in the serv-
ice of the United States could be as
sembled in one place they would ap-
proach the proportions of full brig
ade and display sufficient variety and
attractiveness for a highly interesting
cat show.
There would not, perhaps, be any
pampered and pedigreed Persians
among them, plumy-tailed, languorous
and naughty; they are of necessity
plain business cats, with their work
cut out for them, more intent on cap
turing mice than prizes. But they in
clude handsome cats, homely cats and
odd cats; the pert and bob tailed
Manx. the gentle and Quakerly NAL
tese, the tigerish brindle, the tri-col-
ored tortoise shell, and the modern
"cold storage" cat-that curious breed
originating among the great cold stor-
age warehouses of Pittsburg, and since
then exported to guard the great cold
comissary stores in Manila. Ranging
the great chilled rooms, their artificial
ly developing arctic qualities-their fat,
chunky bodies, heavy fur, short tails,
long and strong eyebrows and whis-
kers-make them as comfortable as
outside in the tropic temperature they
would be miserable. Trick cats there
are in the list, too, and numerous pets,
whose nonfeline fellow employees have
adorned them with gay ribbons, silver
bells or morocco collars, or other
forms of their interest and affection.
Toby and Fritz, the two sleek favor
ties of the New Haven postoffice-one
Jet black, the other black and gray
are on the pay roll for appropriations
amounting to $25 year. In New York
the postoffice cats cost the government
$50 a year. Postoffice cats are numer-
GUS for rats and mice have peculiar
fondness for gnawing paper, and no
respect for the penalties pronounced by
Uncle Sam against wanton destruction
of mail.
Many other government buildings
also maintain cats. The army has its
regular corps of them employed chiefly
in the commissary depots of large cit-
les. Each pussy, according to the fig
ures given out q few years ago, draws
equal to $18.25 a year; for it has been
found that no cat, no matter how
faithful and triumphant mouser, will
thrive on a diet of mice alone. Neither
will q cat of proper spirit and ability
relax its campaign against the enemy
through being properly fed. On the
contrary it becomes an even more for
midable foe.
So the officer in charge of each de-
partment forwards to the war depart
inent an official request for an allow
ance for so many cats. Bids are then
posted, calling for "fresh beef, suitable
for feeding cats, bone excluded" at a
price not over 8 cents a pound. And
this ration, for the better preservation
of pussy's health, is occasionally varied
with canned milk or fish.
In fact, although dogs, widely reck-
oned the most useful animals, are, as
assistants to the police, employed ex-
perimentally in only a very few cities,
the humble and unobtrusive cat has
long made good her place in national
employment, both in the civil service
and the army.-St. Louis Republic.

MANAGER OF FOREST RESORT
is THROWN FROM HIS HORSE
Rev. F. j. Culver Sustains Serious
Injuries and Severe Shock

est Home resort in Mill Creek canyon,

ing rest, and hope to bring about ms
recovery. Will Udell, his employe, VINO
was injured at the same time, is much
better and will soon be able to resume
his work.

SOUTH AFRICAN YOUTHS
TO BE TRAINED ABROAD
Successful Candidates for Agricultural
Scholarships to Study in America
and Australia

JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 10.-Before
he left the Transvaal Lord Malner had
established the agricultural department
of that colony on very SOUND IooI-
ing, and the Transvaal government mas
not been slow to follow up the good
work of the former high commissioners
One of its most recent acts has been
to Introduce a system of agricultural
scholarships, under which the success
full candidates are required to study
in America, Canada or Australia.
Eight of these scholarships were re-
Gently announced in the Government
Gazette. They are tenable for two or
four years, according to the course un-
dertaken. and are worth $1,000 year.
r. is declared applicants must be at
least 16 years old, must hold the GER
tificate of the matriculation examina-
tion of the Cape university, or any
other equivalent examination, and
have some practical knowledge of or
binary farm operations, such as ploW-
ing. narrowing, management of stock,
etc Further they must produce salts
factory evidence as to moral character,
physical health and strength, and in
tention to settle in the Transvaal, and
to adopt agriculture or one or its
branches, or veterinary science, as an
occupation.
The scholarships will be confined to
persons resident in the Transvaal, or
whose parents are resident therein.
During their vacations the students
will be expected to pass their time on
a farm or undertake some work of
practical character. The experience
gained in other countries will undoubt-
edly be of value to these future farm
ers, and it is to be hoped that in the
course of time the scheme will be ex-
tended so as to include the whole OF

ELIMINATES POLITICS
FROM RACE FOR CHIEF
Mayor Announces He viii Not Be ln-
fIuenced in Appointing FaV-
ours Successor

PASADENA, Sept. 10.-Mayor
Thomas Earley this afternoon put a
quietus on political pulling as means
OF arriving at the appointment of d
chief of police to succeed the present
chief, II. H. Favour, who has stated
he will leave Office the first of the
month. "I intend to take my time in
making this appointment" said Mayor
Farley, "and I have no particular man
in mind for the place at this time. l
will say definitely that the subject of
a successor to Chief Favour has not
been discussed by the commissioners
and me, not even informally. I am
looking for a man fully competent for
the work and when I find him I will
announce the matter. This is not a
political position and any amount
of working on the side will not land
the place for any one"
The occasion for the remarks of the
mayor Is due to the fact that politics
is being done in q quiet way in the in
terest of several men who are out for
the position. But despite the fact no
action has been taken as yet to name
a new chief of police, speculation is
rife as to who will eventually succeed
to the position. James McAney, former
field officer of the Pasadena Humane
society, is the latest name mentioned,
while Police Commissioner w. D. Me-
dill is also being talked of by his
friends. In view of the stand taken
by the mayor there is little prospect
the name of the new chief will be
known for some time to come.

BRIGHT DAY BRINGS
CROWD TO ROUNDUP
BIGGEST THR0NG OF WEEK
VISITS CORRAL
Sailors from Warships Anchored in
Harbor Take Part in FestiV-
tiles - Tonight to Be
Memorable One

Especial to The Herald1
SANTA MONICA, Sept. 1o.-The first
bright day of the Crescent Bay round
up was productive in that it brought
out a larger crowd than any other ses-
sion of the week. The heavy fogs of
the week, while seriously interferiag
with the night balloon ascensions, have
not kept the populace from turning out
at the evening carnival.
The sailors of the warships anchored
in the harbor take part in the confetti
battles nightly, using the flimsy am
munition as a means of getting ac-
uuainted with members of the fair sex.
The Out West club of riders arrived
at the corral today and tomorrow Ted
dy's terrors, headed by Sheriff Ham
mel, will visit the inclosure and give
exhibitions of horsemanship and
craftsmanship.
The fraternal organizations of the
Palms, Sawtelle and the Santa Monica
bay cities will turn out and assist in
making this one of the banner days
of the roundup.
The night will be known as carnival
night and the committee which has
been busily securing new attractions
for the occasion promises some new
thrills in the way of entertainment. A
wagonload of confetti has been pro-
vided and in all probability the, largest
gathering of the week will be the
result.
