ILL AND WITHOUT MONEY,
ISSUES WORTHLESS CHECK
Court Places Barber Upon Three
Years Probation

Because he was suffering from tuber-
culosis and was absolutely without
money when he issued worthless
check for $25, Joseph Roberts, man
hardly past his majority, was placed
on probation for three years by Judge
Davis of the criminal department OF
the superior court yesterday.
Roberts was sent from the east to
Arizona about three years ago for the
benefit of his health, and about nine
months ago he came to Los Angeles.
thinking he had a position as barber,
which is his trade. Upon arrival here
he found work not so easy to pro-
cure, and when he became penniless
he tried the worthless check per-
formance which resulted in his arrest.
He admitted his guilt and his case
was investigated by probation officers,
with the result that they could lind
nothing else wrong in his career.
Judge Davis placed him on three
years parole, with the proviso that in
that period he must live in either Cali
fornia or Arizona, and while in this
state report monthly in person to pro-
baton officers, or if in Arizona monthly
by letter.
"If you only had known" remarked
the judge, in paroling the young man,
that there is no community more
quick than Los Angeles to respond to
suffering, you would not have been in
the present trouble"

FURTHER ClTY'S PROGRESS
ALONG ARTISTIC LINES
Consider Needs of Los Angeles
Under New Conditions

Considering that the Charles Null
ford Robinson plan for the artistic
betterment of Los Angeles has been
outgrown in some of its details because
of the large chunks of territory that
have been annexed in the last three
years, the public welfare committee
Tuesday will present a resolution to
the council asking that further steps
be taken in this matter
The resolution drawn by the commit
tee is a modification of the one present
ed by Councilman Miles S. Gregory
two weeks ago and provides that the
mayor appoint a committee of three
who shall serve without compensation
to consider the needs of the city under
the new conditions and work out a
plan whereby Los Angeles can develop
along artistic as well as practical
lines.
This committee is to make a report
to the mayor and council not later
than Jan. 1, 1911, and present its plans
and also state to what extent they
shall be binding on the citizens in case
they are officially adopted.

she deserted him.
Both man and woman are elderly

CLAIM NOISE IN JAIL MAY
MAKE WOMAN LOSE MIND
Ask Release of Mrs. briggs, Con-
victed of Forgery

The application of Mrs. Gertrude
briggs, convicted of forgery, that she
be admitted to bail pending the pro-
baton proceedings in her behalf, was
continued until Monday by Judge
Davis of the criminal department or
the superior court yesterday, when it
was taken up after a postponement of
a week.
Attorneys for Mrs. briggs, who is
60 years old, assert that life in the
county Jail is having a disastrous eff
feet upon her health and that the con-
tinuous sound of the hammers used in
repairing the Jail building is causing
her to lose her reason.
When the case is taken up Monday
1t is probable that her attorneys will
call to the stand alienists to testify
regarding the condition of her mind
and physicians to tell of the state OF
her health.
After long court proceedings Mrs.
briggs was convicted of the forgery
of the name of John G. Charnock,
raneher of Palms, now dead, to lease
of 1877 acres of land.

RAMPANT BOULEVARDERS
PROTEST PLEBIAN NAME

Property owners on Rampant boule-
yard do not want such plebian
street as Philleo to be bear the dis
tinguished name of Rampant boulevard
and filed a protest against the pro
posed change of name yesterday.
In the protest they say the council
instructed the city engineer to change
the name of Philleo street to Ram
part boulevard June 80, but will the
council please amend its instruction
and change the name of Philleo to
Rampant street instead of boule-
ward. They say that Rampant boule-
ward is 12O feet wide and extends only
from First to Sixth street while the
continuation is known as Rampant
street" and is only so and so feet
wide.
AS Philleo street is north of Temple,
they conclude it is a logical continua-
ton of Rampant "street" and has
nothing to do with the boulevard.

ANNUAL REPORT
SHOWS CITY'S ECONOMY
Los Angeles Acts as Own InSur-
anCe Company and Saves
Heavy Premiums

The annual report of the Los An
geles aqueduct which is now about
ready for the printer, will discuss in
surance, one of the least known but
one of the most interesting features of
the work.
When the work of constructing tun-
nels for the aqueduCt began insurance
companies tried to induce the board of
public works to take out blanket pol
icies insuring the city against loss and
suits in case the WorlSmen were in
jured.
The sum asked for premiums was
very large and the board of public
works thought over the matter long
time then it concluded that if the
insurance companies could afford to
take the risk the city, which is more
heavily capitalized than any insurance
company, could do the same thing
The wisdom of this policy is shown
by an array of figures on the books
of the aqueduct department. Had the
board taken the accident policies 1t
would have cost the city 100000 in
premiums to date, but the city has ac
tually paid out less than $1,000 to men
injured in accidents.
All claims for damages are COM
promised usually by paying the in
jured men half pay for the time they
are off duty by reason of the accident.
Suits have been instituted against
the city but have been compromised
in every case. One suit for $4,000 was
compromised by the city paying the
claimant $500 and he was well salts
fed.
The men receive medical and sur
gical attention from a well organized
hospital system. They pay 81 a month
into the hospital fund and are well
cared for when sick or injured.
The general health of the men is
excellent as is shown by the death rate.
This rate is only four to a thousand,
one of the lowest rates any place in
the world. This is largely accounted
for by the fact that they are all hardy
men but is also due in large measure
to the excellent sanitary precautions.

One Of the favorite criticisms OF
newspapers Is the charge that they
seek the sporting news OF the schools
and colleges rather than the details
of the stunts done by those proficient
in their studies. If this criticism has
any foundation in fact, II may also
be said with full measure of truth
that the average educator makes no
particular effort to place the exhibits
of proficiency before the public

letin recently published the Honor
Roll of the Punahou Preparatory that
is quite as interesting to as wide a

gladly publish the honor roll of each
school in the city and Territory, but
apparently the school administrators
haven't the time to send the names to
the paper.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR COTTRILL.

The most serious phase of the APP
pointment of Mr.. Cottrill of Ohio to
be Collector of Internal Revenue Is
the loss to Hawaii Of the recognition
of its right to, furnish the men for
local Offices whether Federal or Ter
ritorial.
The responsibility for this loss must
rest with the Governor of the Terri
tory.
Hawaii presented to the President
n house divided against itself The
Governor must accept responsibility
for this, because the Delegate and the
Republican National Committeeman
called upon him with view to get
ting together" on the Revenue Col
lectorship. The Governor then and
there had the opportunity of express
ing his definite preference and throw
ing the responsibility for refusal to
accept his candidate upon the Dele
gate and the National Committeeman.
As usual, in this conference he was
evasive, and after the verbal Sparring
match called the chairman of the Re
publican Territorial Committee into
consultation with the result that n
further division was created 10y that
committee reversing itself.
II is the old story of dark lantern,
Darkroom methods and the usual
product Of failure and community dis
gust.
AS for Mr. Cottrill, the Bulletin
sees no good reason why ne should
be opposed on the sole ground that
he is a negro.
There is no doubt that being OF the
negro race he has difficult position,
But his efficiency as public officer
will be the final test by which he will
be judged.

idea of running other things than his
