FOUR FEEBLE-MINDED
IN MEXICAN FAMILY
PITIABLE CONDITIONS ARE RE-
VEALED IN COURT ROOM
Family That Came to Watts from {
Paso Appeal for Help and Are
Given Relief at Court
House

One of the most pitiful cases ever
brought to the attention of the lunacy
commission appeared yesterday after
noon when a Mexican family appealed
to the body for the commitment to the
home for the feeble minded Of four OF
its members. Four children, it is said,
are normal. some being married and
having children of their own.
The Oldest child, Antonia, SO years old,
is not only feeble minded, but is
vicious, according to the matron at
the county hospital who says she mas
seen the unfortunate woman bite her
own arm until the blood smeared her
face. The woman is also crippled and
partially blind.
Pablo. % years old. presented pitt
able sight. being partially blind, mis-
shapen and crippled and so feeble IN
mind that he depends entirely on 9TH
ers. Two girls, Virginia, Is, and Sara
10. also are in a deplorable condition.
The family came from El Paso, Tex
two years ago, and made their home
at Watts. The feeble-minded children
were taken to the county hospital be-
fore Christmas spending several weeks
at the institution and finally were re-
turned to their home, the Patton Off
cials refusing to receive them and no
room being found at the Eldridge
home. owing to their destitute circum-
stances, the board of supervisors made
an allowance of $12 a month to care
for the unfortunates, but the burden of
the mother became too great and she
again appealed to the commission.
That bodv committed the unfortunates
to the Eldridge home yesterday.

FORMER INSURANCE OFFICER
FACES TRIAL
Commissioner SchiVeIy of Washington,
Accused of disappointing
Fec, Tells Court of
His Deals

OLYMPIA. Wash, Aug. 23-All day
long John Schively state insurance
commissioner on trial before the state
senate gsitting as a high court of i'm
peaChment, was subjected to cross
examination. His memory failed him
repeatedly and he could tell but few
things about certain deals-Where they
We're made, who was present or how
certain entries came to be in the
records of the defunct Pacific Live
Stock association, of which he was
president for a while.
The witness adrlitted that lS2 in
surance companies had been admitted
to the state from 1905 to 1909 and that
each had paid an advance fee of from
500 to $500 making a total that ranged
from $18,200 to $36,400, Of which no
record was ever kept.
He said that each sum as it was
paid to him was divided equally be-
tween Sam II. Nichols and himself
Nichols at that time was secretary Of
state and insurance commissioner eX-
officio. Schively said that while he
spent his share, it was always his in
tention to make the examinations
later but that Nichols could never
spare him.

WITNESS LIST AT TRIAL
Deputy District Attorney Astonished
When Evidence at Insane Hearing

Mystified when several witnesses

favorable to the man he was prosecut-
ing, j. A. Donnell, deputy district at
torney. asked Judge Wilbur yesterday
to excuse the jury and continue until

NO ross-examination," said j. a.

The same thing occurred when second

There is something wrong here re-
marked the puzzled deputy, and Judge
Wilbur continued the trial until :
O'Clock on his suggestion.
When the trial was resumed the
deputy explained that he had been
calling witnesses summoned in Dyer's S
behalf. Dyer, who was adjudged in
sane by the lunacy commission several
days ago, is said to be a religious fanat-
ic. The trial will be rsumed today.

Club News

q PEAKING to several hundred
~ women and a few men yesterday
~ afternoon in the auditorium of the
Woman's club house. Mrs. Florence
Kelly, factory inspector and authority
on matters concerning woman workers
and child labor, told her hearers that
in her opinion the prosperous women
of this generation are to blame that
wrong conditions exist for their over
worked and underpaid sisters who la
Dor, and laid on the shoulders of the
women present the task of starting a
crusade of betterment in Los Angeles
and throughout the state.
Most women of my generation" said
she, have preferred to live i'll a FOOLS
paradise in regard to these things.
Forty years ago l, as a child, saw
wretChed little boys. even younger
than / was working nights in tho glass
factories of Pittsburg, Pa. Children are
doing the same thing today for the
same companies, under the same condi-
tions. For twenty years the world has
realized the shameful manner in which
these children are being used, and for
ten years efforts have been made to
get the matter properly before the leg
islature and secure a prohibitive law.
I'VE, first generation of women OF
leisure, have devoted our energies to
self-culture, have spent our time play
ing bridge, have occupied ourselves in
the numberless and shameless ways in
which the women of our generation
waste their lives while $4,000 young
girls and women work in the stock
yards of Chicago, thousands pass their
hours in canneries and bakeries and
numberless others live in unspeakable
conditions in sweat shops and tene-
ment houses. all doing work that
makes it possible for US to have this
leisure.
"Telephone girls go mad as result
of the nerve-wrecking nature of their
employment, and wherever there are
telephones that are not automatic there
are girls working day and night.
"In New York in order to keep up
our needed annual supply of 1000 mes
senger boys we must have supply of
at least 6000 1t is the nature of the
business to destroy them. The great
bulk of the business they transact is
disreputable, for they are carrying
disreputable messages to disreputable
people in disreputable places every
night in the year. There is no evil in
any city that remains unknown to boys
or girls after a few months in either
the telephone or messenger service in
our cities.
Nowhere in the world have I seen
so many young married women at
work as here in California. This de-
stroys the home and endangers the
children who are left to the care OF
the older but incapable sisters. This is
an evil equal to the bubonic plague
and should be stamped out.
For all these evils there is but one
remedy Petition and persuasion are
of no avail--they have been employed
for years in vain. Tie whole body
of women in the state MT awake to
their responsibilities never rest un-
til life is made wholesome and happy
for all the working girls and women,
for all the children. 1t is only collec-
lively that this can be done and only
by all the women in the, community
insisting on receiving the rights of
full citizenship. Then we will have
women policemen and women eligible
for jury duty, women on labor COM
missions and as assistant labor in
spectors."
