FORMER CARPENTER CHARGED
WY4 vAGRANcY
John Chaplin Tells Police JuctIce He
Has Quit Manual Labor and
Awaits Expected Call
to Teach

1.-THE Lord is my shepherd and / shall
not want" said John Chaplin, 325 South
Flower street, in Police Justice Fred
erickson's court yesterday afternoon,
in answer to charge of yagrancy.
Chaplin, who is about 30 years of age
and well dressed, was arrested by Pa
trolman Irving, as a result of COM
plants filed by persons living near the
Grand avenue school, corner of Eighth
street and Grand avenue. The arrest
ing officers testified that Chaplin had
been lettering in the vicinity of the
school every afternoon for the past two
weeks. He would enter the school yard
after the noon luncheon and pick up
scraps of food that had been thrown
away.
On some occasions Chaplin would eat
the scraps in the yard, and again,
would place them in his pockets, leave,
only to return an hour or so later in
quest of more food. He stated that he
was a carpenter by trade, but had given
UP all manual labor and was studying
for missionary work.
IT did pick up the scraps of food, be-
cause 1 was hungry, and l did not
know there was any law to prevent a
person from taking things that others
throw away. have not worked but a
few hours for over year, as am pre-
Is Able to Get Along
In answer to a query by the court
Chaplin said: "As soon as / am fully
prepared to take up missionary work
the Lord will notify me. do not have
to work, as the Lord will provide for
me. I could not steal, as that would ruin
my chances of becoming q missionary
worker, and for the SAME reason /
could not beg, but with the few scraps
of food I picked up and the assistance
of God l have been able to get along.
every day I study my Bible and it
won't be long before the Lord calls me
to my work..
Chaplin stated that he had no par
ticular missionary work picked out, but
that the Lord would look after that
trivial feature. He testified that he did
not look for work, as his spiritual work
was all he could attend to.
He talked earnestly, and called two
witnesses in his behalf. They testified
that Chaplin was one of the best car
penters in Los Angeles, but was relig-
iously inclined and had left his work
to study.
The defendant admitted that he was
little behind in his room rent, but
as he had roomed at the same place
for four years, the landlady had been
Ienient with him, and he knew that
God would pay her for his back board
bill.
Police Justice Frederickson dismissed
the complaint, but advised the young
man to look after his material, as we'll
as his spiritual, welfare.

erty but Disagreement Arises
Regarding the 10.
cation

The trustees of the Washington Park
school district were yesterday made de-
PENDANTS in suit filed in the superior
court by Oscar SELLER, resident prop
erty owner OF the district. who seeks to
prevent the purchase for a new school
building of a site selected at meeting
of the electors March q.
The district voted to issue bonds of
$4,000 in February, the money to be
used in the purchase of site and the
erection of school building, and at the
March meeting it was decided to buy
twenty-four lots in the Strong & Dick
inson Cottage Terrace tract for this
purpose.
1t is claimed by Seller that two of
the persons present at the meeting. one
of whom, s. G. Spear, acted as chair
man, were not qualified voters and that
the meeting was held at an unreason-
able hour, preventing a full representa-
ton of the doctors being present.
The court is asked to enjoin the trus-
tees from making the proposed pur-
chase until meeting in which a larger
representation of the voters can take
part is held.

self Healing. BY Walter DE Voc Pub
lished by Funk & Wagnalls Company.
New York
This work is divided into fifty five
short chapters, all aiming TO show the
healing properties of the concentrated
mind, whether that concentration takes
the form of the Emanuel movement or
otherwise. For those who find. this sort
of thing sufficient, there is no need
TO make any adverse pleas. To those
who cannot reach such alleged mastery
of mind over body. 1t would seem M
impracticable stunt TO make them see
tho virtue and efficacy of il. The human
race at large will have good deal of
difficulty in taking mp with this idea
and discarding the skill and effective
ness of the medical practitioner. There
is no particular harm done. however, in
this sort of mental exercise so long as
plain facts are not denied and the rcli-
ance upon abstraction or negation car
ricd TO inhum3n excess.
