ORDER LOSES FIGHT
IN SUPERIOR COURT
FINE IMPOSED BY RECORDER
is AFFIRMED
Directors of Wet Goods Club at Up
land Must Each Pay Fifty DOL
lars for Liquor Law
Violation

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 15.-The
Order of the Almo, a wet goods club
OF Upland. today lost the fight in the
superior court, sitting in banc, Judges
Bledsoe and Oster upholding the de-
cision of the police recorder at Upland,
who find each of the directors $50.
The club, which for some months
did a thriving business at the prohibi-
tion town, was closed by the police of
that place following the successful raid
Of Sheriff John Raphs on a similar or
ganization at Chino. The two men who
had been granted the charter and who
conducted the place were arrested ana
found guilty of illegally selling liquor.
The case was appealed and today
the defendants made an effort to Sc
cure acquittal before the higher court
on the plea that the charter from the
state permitted them the privilege of
dispensing liquor to the members. They
referred to the decision in the case of
the California club of Los Angeles
In upholding the decision of the po-
lice recorder the judges held that the
California club case did not apply in
that Los Angeles is a city where Ii
censed saloons are allowed, while in
Upland the sale of liquor is barred by
local option. The court further held
that the defendants were endeavorinS
to override the wishes of the people,
who had voted a dry town, and that
their charter was a subterfuge for the
purpose of selling liquor.
The case has been watched with in
terest all over the state.

"COURTSHIP OF STANDISH"
SHOWN AT RED0ND0 BEACH
Moving Picture Actors Furnish En=
tertainment for Thousands
of Persons

REDONDO BEACH, Nov. ID
Colonial times were recalled today
when a troupe Of actors enacted
scenes from THE Courtship of Miles
Standish' on the beach. The troupe
was in charge of Manager Bogss OF
the Selig PolyscOpe company of Los
Angeles and went through its various
performances on the beach near the old
bath house in the presence of nearly
half RedOndO Beach's population.
There were twenty-five persons in
the troupe, at the head of which was
Hobart Bosworth in the leading role
of Miles Standish. BosWoth recently
signed with the Selig company. Three
scenes were put on, including one rep
resenting the sailing of the Mayfower
for the second time from England. All
of the scenes will be reproduced in mo-
ton pictures by the company.
The setting for these pictures was
considered exceedingly appropriate,
with the surf rolling up to the feet of
the players and the sandy shelf in the
background.
TO make the scene realistic braWny
sailors, dressed in costumes of 300 years
ago, launched a boat in the SURF
headed supposedly for the Mayflower,
moored in the offing, Mlsunderstani-
ing the orders, the sailors kept pushing
the boat seaWard for several minutes
after the picture machine had been
s{Onped. Because Of the roaring surf
they were unable to hear the manager
calling them back. Meanwhile pretty
puritan misses stood on the beach
waving good by to the occupants Of
the boat. The sailors were almost be-
yond their depth in the water before
they realized the condition of affairs.
1t is understood that the Selig COM
pany will make RedondO Beach the
scene of many of their operations in
producing motion picture plays with
ocean settings.

PRINCIPAL BELIEVES

Fears Cheap Theaters, Liberty and
Spending Money Are Having De-
praVing Effect on Young

Especial to The Herald.l

PASADENA, Nov. 15-Prof. w. H
Holland threw a bombshell into the
homes of the many Pasadenans today
when he declared cheap theaters, a
lack of chaperonage, the practise OF
parents allowing their children to pass
Sunday in Los Angeles and the abuse
of money by school girls and boys,
was tending to destroy all the good
that existed in the children.
Prof. Holland is principal of the Gar
field Grammar school in this city and
was, for a number of months, In charge
of the George Junior Republic. He ad-
dressed the women of the Columbia
Child Study Circle, and his remarks
were straight from the shoulder
He believed conductors on the street
cars saw a great number of things,
and in this connection he said:
"BeIieve me, the conductors see and
hear everything, but say nothing.
They are not like cash registers. |
have always made it a practise to
make friends with the conductors, and
/ have learned that each Sunday a
large number of Pasadena boys and
girls go over to Los Angeles, and when
they return not at all infrequently
some of the boys are intoxicated
He believed that one potent reason
for The craving for excitement on the
part of the boys, and the indulgence
in forbidden pleasures, came about
through their requirement of money
in excess of their real or legitimate
needs.

AYERS THAT HE WAS
ROBBED BY TWO MEN
ITALIAN TELLS POLICE OF
H0LDUP
Declares Masked Bandits Silently and
Quickly Relieved Him of His
Money on His Own
Front Porch

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 15-D. Qui-
tello, an italian laborer, told the police
today that he had been held up and
robbed by two men Saturday night at
his home on Second street. near call
fornia. He said he was too badly
frightened to report the holdup sooner
He claimed to have been loser TO the
extent of $2S
Because of the dilatory report of the
robbery the police are handicapped In
making any effort to apprehend those
who committed the crime. They are
also inclined to doubt the story told by
Quitello.
According to Quitello's story he
worked in Los Angeles last week and
was paid off at an office near Third
and Los Angeles streets. He came
home late and made preparations to
retire. He said he went onto the
porch to place a bottle for his milk
man, when he was seized by man
wearing a big black mask. Another
man pushed a revolver in his face and
he was then searched.
After relieving him of his money the
robbers looked at Quitello's watch. but
placed it back in his pocket. They
then took him to a nearby shack
showed him into it ana closed the door
Then the robbers disappeared and nc
trace of them has since been found
Quitello said the men spoke neither to
him nor to each other.
II is thought the holdup men saw
Quitello receive his wages and followed
him to Santa Monica, as the robbery
according to Qutello. occurred in few
minutes after his arrival home. Qui-
tello is a single man and lives alone In
a small cottage. Although there is a
telephone a short distance from his
house. Quitello said he was afraid TO
notify the police.

trustees and Business Mems associa-

of principal streets in Pomona which,
if consummated; will give the city the

a series of electric lamps. The arches
will be high enough to admit of the

If the property owners along the
streets proposed for illumination will
