SEEKS ITEMIZED ACCOUNT
OF COST OF RAISING BOY
Minister Who Expounds "ldeal FAM
lily" Wants More information
on Children

CHICAGO, May 10.-Rev. D. D.
Vaughan. who has been delivering a
series of talks on the Ideal Family
believes an itemized account of the cost
of rearing a boy should be preserved
and presented to him, He said:
parents should always let boy
know that it has cost a great deal of
money to rear him. 1t is estimated that
a child costs its parents from $4,000 to
$4,000. When a boy, reaches the age of
q years his father should present him
with bill for the amount he cost him
to raise. Whether the boy ever pays
the bill or not makes no difference. He
is taught a lesson that he probably will
never forget"
The minister also said it was not a
good idea for parents to open their
children's mail.

DISHMAN WILL ATTEND
CONVENTION OF CHIEFS

Chief Dishman was granted permits
sion by the police commission last
night to attend the annual convention
of police chiefs to be held in Buffalo
June Is and the council was asked to
provide funds to pay his expenses.
1t has been customary for every chief
of police to attend these annual con-
ventions and heretofore the council has
always allowed $500 for expense money.
The convention was scheduled to
come to Los Angeles this year. At the
convention last year Los Angeles was
chosen as the meeting place, but when
Edward Kern resigned the position of
chief of police to become member of
the board of public works Buffalo was
selected instead. Kern was the only
Los Angeles member of the organiza-
ton and the convention is never held
where there is no resident member.

HAMS JURY TO
GET CASE TODAY
CAPTAIN DISPLAYS NO INTER-
EST IN CLOSING SPEECHES
REFERENCE TO UNWRITTEN LAW
STOPPED BY COURT
Prosecutor Brands Shooting of Anns
as "Cowardly Murder, Committed
with Deliberation and Pre-
meditation"

FLUSHING, L. l., May 10.-One hour
more of summing up by the prosecu-
ton, and afterward the courts charge
then the case of Capt. Peter c. Hams,
jr., charged with the murder of William
e. Annis, will pass into the hands Of
the jury tomorrow
Today's session Of the trial was
marked by the final appeal of John F.
Mcintyre for the Defense and part of
the final plea of George A. Gregg of
the prosecution.
Peter C. Hams, jr, displayed neither
emotion nor interest. Mr.. Mcintyre
argued to show the insanity of his eli
ent; one of his declarations was that
Annis met death "by an act of God"
All references to the unwritten law
were objected to and the objections
were sustained by the court.
During the summing up by the pros
ecution the prisoners mother and ia
Their withdrew, and Mrs. Helen Annis,
in deep mourning, appeared with her
mother and sister. They remained in
court while Mr. Gregg was speaking.
The prosecutor denounced the insan-
ity plea, declaring it was manufactured
by the defendants lawyers as a last
resort.
Instead of being IAN act of Cod" he
branded the shooting as "cowardly
murder committed with elaboration
and generalization"
Mcintyre Makes Plea
In opening his plea Mr.. Mcintyre
said:
ut was the act of God that directed
Captain Hams hand when he took the
life of the man who ruined his home.
The meeting between Annis and the
defendant was accidental there was
no intention to kill"
Taking up the question of Captain
Hams sanity, Mr.. Mcintyre said:
WAS it a mental shock sufficient to
unbalance his mind when this unfor-
tunate man learned of his wife's inf
deity from her own lips? 1t was then
that melancholia seated herself beside
the throne of reason and afterward
tainted and tortured his brain, accel-
Grated his mind and altered the emo
lions of his heart
IT don't deny that this man had
lucid intervals and rational moments,
when he talked and acted like a nor
NAL man-many insane persons have
such periods"

SAYS MOSES CALLED FIRST
STRIKE AMONG EGYPTIANS
Labor Leader Refers to Bible to Prove
Justification of Union
Methods

CHICAGO, May 10.-"Moses called
the first strike in the brick yards OF
Egypt, and Aaron was the first bust
ness agent. 1t was a success. Nine
time out of ten strikes are justifable. .
This Biblical origin Of modern trades
union methods was given by James w.
Kline, general president of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Blacksmiths
and Helpers, in the Western Avenue
Methodist Episcopal church.
He praised the Methodist church for
it's recognition of the trades unions,
and criticised it for upholding the man
who desired to remain outside of the
union.
1.-THE church must get off the fence, -
he said. IF unions are good for some
wage earners, they are good for all

PATROLMAN Is FINED
IS DAYS FOR NEGLECT
Accused of Attending to Private
Business While on
His Beat

A fine of fifteen days pay in addi-
ton to the time he has lost by sus-
pension was the punishment meted out
to Patrolman G. ]. Roller by the police
commission last night.
Roller was accused of having attend
ed to private business while on his beat
and when he should have been giving
his time to the city. He was also ac-
cused of drunkenness and creating a
disturbance in the Kenwood, rooming
house. The commission did not believe
the evidence sustained the charge of
drunkenness or OF any serious dis
turbance or the punishment would have
been much more severe.
The fine is levied in the nature of a
warning to other police officers to tran
sact their private business at some 9TH
er time than when patrolling their
beats.

.HARPER'S LIBEL
SUITS DROPPED
FORMER CHIEF EXECUTIVE TO
PAY THE COSTS
JUDGMENT OF DISMISSAL TO BE
ENTERED
Three Other Actions Growing Out of
Anti-Vce Campaign Still Pend
ing Against Local News
paper

The libel suits of former Mayor A. c.
Harper against the Evening Express
and Thomas Lee Woolwine were swept
from the calendars of the superior
court yesterday when a stipulation,
signed by attorneys representing both
sides, vas filed directing that judg-
ment of dismissal be entered.
1t is understood the former mayor
pays the costs incurred by the defen-
dants, which amount to a considerable
sum in the cases against the Express,
but were small in the Woolwine suit,
which has never been set for trial.
The suits were filed shortly after
the grand jury took UP the investiga-
ton Of charges of protected vice, given
publicity by Mr.. Woolwine last fall,
and were denounced by the latter as an
effort to stay his hand and prevent a
thorough inquiry into then existing
conditions in Los Angeles, with espe-
cial reference to the redlight district,
while the grand jury's report was re
garded by many as complete and
unjustifable whitewash of several per-
sons connected with the Harper adj
ministration in an official capacity.
Results Sweeping
The exposures resulted in a general
cleaning out of the vice element, the
invoking of the recall, the downfall of
the administration and the indictment
by special grand jury of Thomas H.
Broadhead, former chief of police, and
Samuel Schenck, former police COM
missioner, on charges of attempted
bribery.
Three other libel suits growing out
of the campaign against alleged vice
protection are still pending against the
Express. They were brought by former
Police Commissioners f. b. Tufts, IL.
b. Woodill and II w. Lewis.
In connection with these suits the
Express of last evening said:
I'm justice to Mr.. Tufts we desire to
say, as we have said before, that none
of the charges so made by the Express
was intended to include him.
LAS to Mr.. Woodill and Mr.. Lewis it
is but fair to say that none of the in
vestigations conducted by Mr.. Earl or
the Express in connection with suits
in question, the results of which We're
brought before the late grand jury,
disclosed any evidence connecting eth
err of them with any graft"
The three former police commission
ers are also plaintiffs in three suits still
pending against Mr.. Woolwine, none of
which has yet been set for trial or
reached the initial stage of filing COM
plants and the answers thereto.

PROSECUTOR URGES
TAKING OF LICENSE
Manager of Notorious Resort Must
Appear Before Police Conn
mission to Defend
Permit

The Manhattan hotel and other such
notorious places will find 1t hard sled
ding under the new administration. Not
only was the notorious Manhattan,
with others, raided last Wednesday
night, and conclusive evidence of the
character of the place found, but the
manager of the Manhattan must APP
pear before the police commission next
Monday night and show cause why the
restaurant liquor license which it holds
and abused should not be revoked.
This action was taken by the police
commission at its regular meeting last
night. A recommendation of PrOSecu-
tor Guy Edit, Endorsed by Chief of Po-
lice Dishman, was the cause of the
commission taking action. Prosecutor
Eddie reported that the raid conducted
last Wednesday night had produced
conclusive evidence that the Manhattan
was used for immoral purposes, and
that it was especially fitted for such
purposes He also declared that evil
dence had been secured showing that
the liquor license held by this place
was grossly abused and that same
privileges were exercised that are
granted only under a retail license.
Girls Were Trapped
He cited one instance where two girls
were lured othe Manhattan and when
they found the nature of the place they
were in made frantic efforts to escape.
Their escorts resisted these efforts and
one of the employees who took compass
sion on the girls and tried to assist
them to escape was beaten up by the
two men.
The Manhattan will probably make
an effort to defend its right to the
license and to show cause why it
should not be revoked, but if such an
effort is made the prosecuting attorney
and the chief of police promise to pro-
duce such evidence that the police COM
mission will have no choice but to re-
woke the license. But the Vigor with
which the commissioners voted for the
citation is proof that the general repu-
tation of the house, which is most I'M
savory, has already given it a bad
standing.
