tions t, the attorney general OF
Nevada for public lands and have

MYSTERY OF DOG TAG
IN WIENER DEEPENS
New York Man Writes Los Angeles
City Clerk Claiming No.
4413 Was Issued
to Him

The plot thickens in the tragedy Of
"What Happened to Fido; or, How
Came the Dog License Tag in the
Wiener Wurst?"
Yesterday License Clerk Ed LOWE
received a letter signed by Frederick
Morris of 299 Broadway, New York,
who wanted to know the name of the
owner of dog license 4413. He said he
had come into possession of. the IL
cense and wished to return it to the
owner.
This is the same number as the IL
cense tag that was found in wiener
wurst several days ago. The license
had been issued to Mrs. Anna Bell,
30O1s South Los Angeles street, for a
brown Scotch terrier. The unfortunate
who bit into the sausage and received
rude shock took the tag to Mr..
LOWE, and it developed that Mrs.
Bells terrier had been missing several
days. AS the incident threatened to
demoralize the wiener wurst trade,
the butcher from whom it was pur-
chased put private detective on the
trail, and he discovered that some
rude Joker with little regard for the
sausage business and less for delicate
stomachs had put in the tag for fun.
But the mystery deepens for Mrs.
Bell declared yesterday that she had
the license certificate and the tag. No
duplicate has ever been issued, and
how one of this number could get into
the possession of a New York man
passes the comprehension of those in
terested in the case.

EASTERN SECTION
WANTS HIGH SCHOOL
Petitions Circulated In Highland Park
and Garvanza Call Attention
to Educational
Needs

Petitions are being circulated
throughout the east side of Los An
geles, Highland Park and Garvanza for
signatures to be presented to the board
of education asking for a high school
to be erected somewhere in that dis
trict, the exact location to be decided
by the board of education If the petit
ton is looked upon favorably.
The movement was inaugurated last
Friday at meeting of representatives
of the Parent Teachers association of
the twelve schools included in the Pc
titioning district.
1t is stated in the petition that the
largest part of the graduates to the
high schools come from the grammar
schools of these districts
Arrangements are being made by
those at the head of each district to
hold mass meetings at different places
throughout the territory to create in
terest in the movement and secure sig
natures to the petitions. The location
looked upon most favorably by those
connected with the movement is the old
site Of the Occidental college, which has
secured a new site in Eagle Rock val

BLAMES HUSBAND
AND MOTHER-lN-LAW
MRS. M. A. AMAYA GIVES REA-
SONS FOR ELOPING
Santa Cruz Woman Arrested for De-
serting Children Says She Has
Ceased to Love Them
and Their Father

Declaring that she had endured with
patience and fortitude the abusive
treatment of her husband and the
tyranny of her mother-in-law, Mrs. M.
A. Amaya, who was arrested in North
Main street yesterday on a charge of
deserting her three small children in
Santa Cruz and eloping with Carl JEFF
ferson Lowell, wept in the matron's de-
partment of the city Jail while telling
of the suffering she endured during
her eight years of married life.
Mrs Amaya, who admitted that she
had eloped with Lowell, whom she
met two years ago, said that the
trouble that she had experienced dur
ing her unfortunate alliance with her
husband has driven every vestige of
love of her children and husband from
her and that she welcomed the oppor-
tunity to flee with the man whom she
said she really loves.
The husband of the accused is a
woodsman and has lived at Santa Cruz
for q number of years. The woman ad-
mitted that he earned a good salary
and was a liberal provider. She stated
that he became intoxicated frequently
and beat her.
81 found that did not love him after
we Hdu peen IHdTTleu u inOnlH, Sdlu
Mrs. Amaya. 81 disliked to leave him,
as 1 never did believe in divorces, and
endured his ill treatment until
could bear it no longer. His mother
created considerable trouble and kept
me in trouble constantly.
1.-TWO years ago 1 went Lowell, who
lived next door to US. He was friendly
and attentive to me and loved him at
first sight. My dislike for separation
prevented me from leaving my hus-
band, but conditions became unbearable
and eloped with Lowell February 3.
II do not wish the custody of my
children. My husband is better able
to care for them than I am, and my
only regret is that L am separated
from the man whom 1 truly love.
81 hope that matters will be settled
in a satisfactory manner and that
will be able to obtain a divorce and
marry the man I love with all my
heart"
Lowell was with the woman when
she was arrested. AS there was no
charge against him he was not taken
into custody. Mrs. Amaya will be held
in the city Jail pending the arrival of
an officer from Santa Cruz who has
started for Los Angeles to take her
back.

PASTORS TAKE firm
STAND ON DIVORCE
Members of Ministers Union Pledge
Themselves to Investigate Before
Marrying Those Who Have
Had Separations

Strict regulations regarding the mar
riage of divorced persons were adopted
yesterday by the Los Angeles Min
isterial union, and the members
pledged themselves to inquire care
fully into the state of any divorced
person seeking to be married again.
The resolution follows:
Resolved, That we pledge our
selves as ministers to inquire carefully
into the state of every divorced per-
son coming to us to be married and
we further agree that we will refuse
to marry such as are not entitled to
be married according to the teachings
of Jesus Christ"
A discussion arose regarding the ad-
visibility of inviting the religious edu-
cational association to hold its annual
meeting in Los Angeles next year. The
discussion was postponed until the
meeting next month. This association
is considered extremely modern in its
tendencies and some of the ministers
thought it is too radical to warrant
an invitation here for it's sessions
while others upheld its stand.

from which would be used toward
guarding the city from the dangers of
a slum district.

fifty-seven murders had been com
mitted in saloons on Sunday, not
counting those committed on week
days, in Chicago during the previous
year, and the feature of the parade
was hearse, followed by fifty-seyen
figures clothed in white, each bearing
a banner telling the name of the vic
tim, the saloon In which he was killed
and the date.
Following this was wagon bearing
a pine coffin containing the body of
the most recent victim of the Sunday
saloon, behind which walked the
widow, left in poverty, and two father
less children. There was hardly dry
eye among the spectators who lined
the long line of march, and the saloon
men soon realized that they were fight
ing the aroused public conscience, not
alone on Sunday closing but for their
very existence"
