POLICE HAVE RESOLVED TO STOP
FllRTATIONS.
Girls Without Escorts Seen Lettering
After a Late Hour of Night Will
Be Sent Home.

The first step in Kidding the public
streets of local Yagrant girls was
taken Thursday evening when Chief
Browning took into custody three girls
at the Union Station and. after admin
istering a severe lecture on tnelr
habits. allowed them TO return to their
respective homes, The girls were
lettering about the Union Station, talk
ing with various men and apparently
trying to strike up an acquaintance
who would take them out to a midnight
supper or the like.
This business has gotten along to
wnere a halt must be called" said
Chief Browning, land | am going to
see TO it that girls who have no busl-
ness on the streets at an unseemly
hour are not to be allowed there. 1t
Is altogether too common for two or
three girls TO start out of an evening
and attend an amusement and after
ward parade the streets seeking a
Irritation.
TT is downright vagrancy in the
sense that the ordinance includes lott
ering' as we'll as the other charges 1t
makes no difference whether they have
homes or money. II is vagrancy In
the eyes of the ordinances and that
cnarge can be made against them.
MANY of them are working girls
outside the immediate supervision OF
parents, who are allowed by the en-
ployers to go out evenings, key be-
ing furnished for their return to the
house, rather than to necessltate get
ting up In the night to admit them
upon their return. The ladies for
whom they work do not know where
the girls spend their time nor what
they do for amusement. and many do
not care so long as the girls appear
for their duties in the morning.

talked last nignt was quite defiant as

Chill LDREH FROM OGDEN
MAKE A GOOD RECORD

Belah Kadish, who went to Los An
GeleS some weeks ago to inquire into
the public school system OF Los An
geies and the methods employed there
in determining the assignment of chill
dlen from other sections to their re-
sDective grades, has returned TO Og-
den well satisfied. with his findings
and has considerable TO say in praise
oil the Ogden schools
Mr.. Kadisn sent his three children
to Los Angeles in October and they
were duly entered In .he public
schools there. Instead OF assigning
them to the grades in which they
had been in the Ogden schools the
Shildren were placed one grade below
M each case. Mr.. Kadish found that
this custom had prevailed in the Los
Angeles school system for n long time
and was due to the idea that the
grades there were, as a general rule,
considerably in advance of other
schools in the west
For the purpose Of seeing that his
children were graded according to
their merits rather than by guess or
comparison with other strangers. Mr..
Eadlsh went TO Los Angeles, and
found that before his arrival. the
children had displayed their eligibility
to higher grades and had been placed
there.
The board of education expressed
surprise that Ogden pupils could be
50 far advanced In comparison with
Los Angeles standards,

They Did.

w. L. Maginnis is In receipt of cop
ies OF sworn affidavlts made Thursday
by the three children OF John Vance,
Of Salt Lake, convicted OF the murder
of mis- wife year ago. Mr. MagIn-
mis- was counsel for the defense In the
recent sensational trial at Salt Lake,
and states that the aGldayits were
the voluntary statements of the chill
dIen made In an attempt to save their
father from the gallows.
The statement of Edward Vance,
aged 10 years, is to the effect that
he did not actually see his father
kick his mother, although he was in
the room at the time the trouble oc-
Cured. He states that 1t was due TO
the threats of his aunt, Amanda Vance
Ward that he told the story of the
kicking of his mother. He states that
his aunt told him he would have to
60 to jail IL he did not tell the story
she taught him.
Lena Vance makes two afidavits.
In the first one of which she says that
she wishes to correct her statements
made at the trial in regard to the
alleged poisoning OF her mother by
ner father. She says that size watched
her father standing at the door to the
room in which was her !nother and
that his left hand was on the door
ard his right hung by his side, max
ing 1t impossible for him to have in
troduced poison into the glass stand
ipg at the mothers bedside.
The other affidavit states that she
diG not see her mother kicked and
does not believe that she was. and
that the BLACK spot" mentioned at
the trial was one of long standing
Lena also accuses the aunt of threat
ening her and admonishing her to tell
the story she did at the trial.
Florence Vance. years old, states
in her affidavit that she cid not see
her mother kicked. but said SO at the
trial on account of the threats Of her
aunt.

terms of the act all slaves became ap-
