regarding his kindness to his wife and
the fact that he returned from san
Diego and offered to give himself up
when he learned he was in danger of
arrest, gave Bennett and his attorneys
a great deal of pleasure, and the 2
of the accused man flushed with hope
as he turned to exchange a few words
with Mr.. Drake.
Reading of the instructions was con-
cluded at $3.50 o'clock and a moment
later the jury retired to the adjoining
jury room to begin it's deliberations
AS the twelve men left the jury box
Benefits fact was covered with per-
spiration, and when the door closed
behind the last man to enter the jury
room and Bailif Henry turned the key
in the lock he bowed his head upon
his hands and wept. His youngest
daughter, ever watchful of her fathers
movements, threw her arms about his
neck, mingling her tears with his. A
few moments later Bennett went into
the corridor where he sat smoking a
few minutes, the rapid puffs from his
cigar testifying to his nervousness.
Jurors Need Water
At 9:15 o'clock a rap at the jury
room door brought the crowd rushing

ing a verdict had been reached. But
when the bailiff opened the door
pitcher was thrust out with a request
for water and it dawned on the minds
of those present for the first time that
there was a possibility of a disagree
ment or that a verdict would be
reached only after a long struggle.
Benefits condition was pitiable. He
again entered the corridor, walking
from one end to the other of the base
ment-like room and smoking unceas-
ingly. When he halted to speak to
anyone it was to utter the question
again and again: what do you think
is the matter?" followed by the asser-
tion, II expected to be free man long
ago"
IT would rather die than go back to
Jail tonight" he told his attorney, Mr..
Drake.
At 1915 Judge Willis ordered the
bailiff to call the jury to the jury box.
AS the twelve men took their seats the
face of each was closely scrutinized by
every person in the court room in an
effort to discover some telltale express
sion of the stand he had taken, but
without result.
Have you agreed on verdict?"
asked Judge Willis.

Stewart, acting as spokesman.
what is the prospect of agreeing on
a verdict this evening?" asked the
court.

Stewart.
The jury was then ordered locked up

m HE Rotary club yesterday inspect
ed the new emblem which may
Il become the club emblem for the
Rotary members in all parts of the
United States. 1t was designed by H.
C. Quick, secretary of the Los Ange-
les club. The significance of the Ro-
tary emblem was elucidated IN the Iol-
lowing statement, prepared by Charles
E. Bent and read at the club luncheon
yesterday by Dick Ferris:
"Co-operation, business honor ana
progressive action-these are the guild
ing principles which actuate the mem
bers of the Rotary organization
throughout the ever widening circle OF
its influence. 80,
ITO the man who is infused with
the spirit of genuine Rotary enthusi-
asm this emblem is eloquent with
meaning. The pilot wheel stands for
the wise guidance of profitable business
into the hands of fellow members; the
watchful eye typifies the mental alert
ness to seize opportunity; the laurel
wreath surrounding the stearn weapon
of ancient warfare is expressive of
peace reinforced by the power to exc
cute, if necessary, the demands of JUS
tice and right; the slaves, firmly bound
together typify the combined strength
of a membership united in confidence,
in ambition and in mutual helpfulness
ut is the fulfllment of these ideals
that has ever made men and organiza-
tions and nations truly great
At yesterdays luncheon of the Rota-
ry club visitors were present from Bos-
ton, Atlanta, Cincinnati and Goldheld
Several members talked on details of
their businesses, giving the members OF
the club a better insight of the business
opportunities offered by other members.

MANY THOUSANDS OF FLOWERS
WILL BE USED
Electrical and Floral Effects viii Sur
pass Anything Ever Previously
Dreamed of-Program Ar
ranged Partially

Electrical and floral decorative effects
surprising anything ever dreamed of. even
in this land of beauty, are planned for the
Shrine auditorium dress on the occasion of
the banquet to be given President Taft the
night of Oct. II.
From door to back OF the stage. from
floor to highest beam and rafter the great
building will be transformed with mass of
greenery, splashed with the red and white
plumage of gay flowers and the sheen of
ribbons and dotted with innumerable cleo
trio lights. On the stage will be reared a
mission style pergoa-a bower of flowers
and ferns--in the midst of 1t will flow an
electrical fountain, breathing perfume from
its splashing waters, and under it will be
placed the table at which the executive and
his suite and chief hosts will sit.
Flowers by the Ton
Among the items planned for at the meet
ing of the banquet committee held last
night in the Chamber of Commerce building
are 1000 palms, 500 asparagus plumosis

each seating ten guests. This. will provide
for the 500 who to be bidden, each pay
ing s25, and also include the guests of
honor.
Program Partly Arranged
1t is practically certain the address Of
welcome will be made by Willis Boothe,
president of the chamber that Senator
Frank Flint will speak and that some mem
bers of the harbor commission, most prob
ably Joseph Scott, will be asked to explain
to Mr.. Taft the needs of this section and
the ambitious plans of Los Angeles.
The banquet committee will meet again
early Monday afternoon to award the con-
tracts for the floral and electrical deco
rative work. Later the same afternoon the
executive committee will assemble to hear

$4,000 CHILDREN
ATTEND SCHOOL
MAY SELL BONDS BY PRIVATE
SUBSCRIPTION
, COUNCIL NOT EXPECTED TO BUY
WITH AoUEDUcT FUNDS
Superintendent Moore Hopeful That
Money Will Be Raised Soon to
Help ReIieye congested
Conditions

Assistant Superintendent of Schools
7. p. Monlux reported last night that
there are approximately $1,000 pupils
registered to date in the public schools
of Los Angeles. There will be a few
or this number who will drop out and
a few more will enter on returning
from vacations or extended trips. How
ever, there will be little change in those
figures for the year.
IL each child entered were given his
nroper amount of room and proper at
tention from the teachers there would
be fewer than $4,000 pupils recelVeu'
The remaining 1000 are being accom-
modated and the school department Is
making herculean efforts-thus far sue
cessfllly-to give all comers comfort-
able housing and proper instruction.
The congested condition In the hlgh
schools and in some of the downtown
districts continues, but 1t is hoped by
makeshifts to obviate all dl1hcultles
shortly.
Superintendent Moore IS hopeful the
bonds can be sold by private subscrip-
ton. An effort in that line is now be-
ing made.
City May Buy Bonds
There are others who hope the city
will purchase the bonds out of the
money now in the sinking fund of the
owens river bond project, but although
no one is willing to jeopardize his po-
litical future by saying so, the con-
sensus of opinion seems to be that the
city council will not SO expend Its
funds.
There is some suffering among school
children, and the critical nature of the
situation is being emphasized in GER
tain quarters. Experienced teachers
assert however, that there have been
other years when the schools were
quite as crowded and that the present
condition is more or less temporary.
There is no alarm that the problem will
not be solved successfully.
Prof. r. D. Moore, superintendent,
said yesterday: ''You can well afford
to bear down particularly hard on one
point. Tomorrow at noon is the time
before which the parties contesting the
validity of the issue of school bonds
must file their final appeal. Thus far
they have not done so, and all good
citizens should join in discouraging
their doing so at ALL"

as in the preceding administration.
He has been in close touch with some
of the leading banking interests in

TRAGEDY Is Mysterious

The circumstances of the murder and sui
eide are shrouded In mystery, the only nfor-
nation being volunteered by William New
lands, a brother of the murdered man.
According to his story his brother was last
seen alive about o'clock last night when he
started with pitchfork in his hands to feed
the horses in the horse pen in the rear OF the
house.
few minutes later William Newlands heard
pistol shots and on investigation found his
brother In a dying condition with three bull
let wounds, one through the head, one IN the
left breast and the third in the back.
The injured man was carried TO the porch
os the cottage where the brothers resided but
expired without regaining consciousness
Word was at once sent to police headquarters
of the crime and Detective Ingraham In
searching about the lot in which Newlands
went to feed the horses found the pitchfork
with blood on the handle.
Deputy Sheriff Mag continued the search

through the head.
