REFORM CRIMINALS
BY GIVING THEM GLASSES
Doctor Believes Use OF spectacIes Will
Cure Perverted Morais--Makes
Tests

NEW YORK, June 24.-If you want
to reform a criminal, put pair of
glasses on him, for imperfect physical
vision impairs his moral views.
Such is the theory of DR.. William
N. Richards. who hopes inside of a
year to be able to back his theory with
statistics.
In compiling his statistics in the
search for subjects, DR.. Richards has
visited the district attorneys office,
police courts and other institutions.
At the Magdalen home he fitted
glasses to twenty inmates and every
one of these, he said, found work on
getting out and kept 1t. One girl in
particular never had been able to keep
a job more than few days. She was
considered stupid and lazy. Since
leaving the home two months ago and
wearing a pair of glasses she has been
steadily employed by firm of whole
salers and still is working there.
DR.. Richards now is trying his plan
on 200 second offenders, burglars, hold
up men and criminals of various de-
greeS.

ROUGH AND TUMBLE
MEN CEASE TRAINING
Work Will Be Stopped Today by Main
Eventers In Jiu-Jitsu Card to
Be Staged Saturday
Night

Hard training by the jiu Jitsu main
eventers who will meet at Maud juno
ton tomorrow night in the test of the
Oriental game, will cease today, and
hereafter Eddie Robinson, the local
expert, and Shosha Yokoyama, who
carries the hopes of the little brown
men, will ease up, preparatory to en-
tering the ring for their finish struggle.
After three weeks of work Robin
son has gotten down to 1853 pounds, az
which figure he will meet the Jap, and
the American exponent of the rough
and tumble is in better condition than
he has been for years. He will weigh
in at about the same figure as the
Jap, and will pit his experience and
craft against the tricks of the Oriental
art of bone-breaking.
Japtown is thoroughly aroused over
the coming contest. The subjects of
the mikado are backing their cham
pion to their last dollar, and seem to
think that the islander will have little
difficulty In disposing of the local man.

Republican Honor

Honest men by thousands, In every
state in the Union, will be driven from
the Republican ranks. For the party
name will have been transformed from
a badge of glory to sign of dis
honor
This feeling has been openly voiced
in many of the speeches in which the
apostles of party good faith In the
senate, like Nelson, Clapp, Beveridge,
Dolliver and Cummins, have pleaded
with the blinded Aldrich and his fol-
lowers against the digging of the pit
he is preparing for their party. Unless
their warning shall be needed the old
Republican organization must bid a
long farewell to all its greatness.-St.

NORTHERN SWIMMERS
ENTER VENICE RACES
Five of San Franclsco's Best Aquatic
Athletes VII! Come South 70 con=
test In Coast Races-Boys'
Event Planned

According to a telegram from J. Foran,
chairman of the Olympic club of San
Francisco, to Les Henry, secretary of
the Southern California Swimming asso-
citation, five of San Francisco's best
swimmers will come south to compete
in the Pacific coast championship
which will be held at Venice. Several
swimmers at the Piedmont bath house,
and when the start is made for the
south the names of the members will be
announced. The champions of the
south at the present time are Frank
Holbrook, so and 100-yard dashes; Wal
ter Abegg, the 220-yard dash; H. Tay-
lor, 440-yard dash, and Marcus, the $50
yard dash. All of the four champions
have started in training for their vari-
Gus events. e. Brown has secured
training quarters at Avalon, Ben Wat
lington at Bimini baths and Frank Hcl-
borrow at John Hugo's private swim
ming tank on West Sixteenth street.
Crary viii train probably at Bimini
baths with Prof. Cox. Entries are COM
sent throughout Southern California
and coast points a large delegation of
swimmers are expected to be present
during the Elks' carnival affair.
The Junior athlets of the various high
schools in Southern California are de-
veloping themselves into fast water
competitors, and the large number of
junior swimmers who have appeared
during the past year has surprised the
aquatic promoters. During the past
year at least ten of the Junior athletes
of both the Los Angeles and Polytech-
mic high schools have been making good
progress in the water line.
Los Angeles high school has the dis
tinction of having two champions in
George Crary, who captured the junior
50-yard dash for Southern California at
Bimini baths in the time of 81 2-5 sec
onds, and Marcus Lee, who won the
half mile race In the time of 14:5S 1-5
Alfred Mcguire, who finished in fourth
place in the junior race, is an all-rQpnd
athlete and was for two years president
of the government body at the
Thirtieth Street school, and in 1908 won
the junior handball championship for
the grammar grades.
Thomas Hewlett, also of the high
school, is fast in the water and has fine
form In swimming. Clifford Bowes and
Howell Richardson are two of the best
high divers in Southern California and
have won several trophies for their
water exhibitions both at Los Angeles
and beach resorts.
Les Henry, who has charge of the
Junior water events which will be held
at the Venice plunge, says that he ex-
poets to have about a dozen entries
from this class of swimmers. Already
several of the swimmers have started
active training for the big events.
Henry announced yesterday that the
boys 50-yard dash would be run off in
heats and that the contestants must be
under 16 years of age or that they VIII
not be eligible to enter.

BlUEFIN TUNA SEEN
IN SOUTHERN WATERS
Game Fish Reappears of Catalina for
First Time in Five Years and
Anglers Have Busy Time
In Pursuit

AVALON, Catalina Island, June "a
Bluefin tuna have reappeared today
after being absent from these waters
for five years, and anglers today have
had disastrous consequences from the
first onslaught which the fish have
made. All the anglers who were fish
ing with light tackle at the point OF
attack were compelled to reel in their
lines, after several lines and rods were
broken. Prof. Charles F, Holder of
Pasadena and A. J. Eddy of Chicago
were among those who lost tackle.
DR.. Alden, surgeon of the French hos
pital of San Francisco, fought a tuna
estimated to weigh at least 400 pounds
for nearly thirty minutes, and then
broke his rod while trying to stop one
of it's mad rushes.
The bluefin tuna disappeared five
wears ago, but today Prof. Holder, who
is an authority on fish in these waters,
stated that in all probability the fish
are here to remain for the season. Fly
ing fish have been seen in great num-
bers for several weeks The present
school of tuna are thought to have
come from southern waters.

POLYTECHNIC HIGH
GIVES CLASS PLAY
ROSE OF RANCHO PRESENTED
BY STUDENTS
Scenery Is Arranged and Built by
the Pupils in Woodwork, and
Would Be Credit to
Professionals

1.-THE Rose of the Rancho" was pre-
sented last night at the Polytechnic
high school by the members of the
senior A class. The production was
given in very creditable manner and
the scenery, made entirely by the
woodwork students, would not have
been out of place on a professional
stage.
The Polytechnic orchestra opened
the entertainment with an overture,
and as the curtain rose on the first
act a pretty little fountain was seen
playing, surrounded by potted palms
and Towering shrubs.
Leonard Wachtel as Don Luis acted
his part of the sleepy Mexican to per-
fection, and his drawled tomorrow"
brought peals of laughter from the
audience.
Miss Ruth Miller as the Rose of the
Rancho distinguished herself. She dis
played remarkable talent, both in her
acting and singing. Miss Miller has
been the Poly star for several years
past, taking the leading roles in three
different plays. She has very sweet
alto voice which she is now cultivating
to become an operate singer.
Raymond Phillips as Kearney and
Ned Manning as Kinkaid both carried
their heavy roles in a manner that
would have done credit to professional
players.
All the other members in the cast
did splendidly. The dancing and sing
ing III the second act was g credit &c

faculty, who coached the students for
