MONTHS SEARNINGS TAKEN
BY NEW-FOUND FRIEND

While enjoying the sights of the city
Saturday, A. j. Meagher Of Covina
gained the friendship of ''friend"
who late in the evening relieved him of
$50 in gold. Meagher reported the theft
to the detectives yesterday, together
with a description of the friend"
He said he reached Los Angeles in
the afternoon with his monthly earn
ings and made the acquaintance Of a
strange man who appeared to be con-
genial and obliging. AS Meagher was
feeling lonesome and knew hardly any
one in the city he considered himself
lucky upon finding friend who seemed
so willing to spend money and buy him
drinks.
They wandered from saloon to saloon
until about IL o'clock, when Meagher
declares the man backed him into a
dark hallway and told him to hand over
his money. Fearing that the man
might use violence, he complied with
his command.
A thief entered the room of Miss L.
Gustin in the Burlington apartments
Ninth street and Burlington avenue
about II o'clock Saturday night and
stole a diamond ring valued at 5000.
Several other articles of jeWelry and a
purse containing a large amount of
money which were lying on the dresser
were not taken. She reported the theft
to the detectives yesterday.
E. Berge, 22S Bryson block, reported
to the detectives yesterday that his
room in the Hotel Hayward was en-
tered some time Saturday and several

ACCUSE YOUTH Of
MANY FORGER|ES
Police Say 17-Year-0!d Boy Is
Entirely Too Handy with
His Pen
CHECKS FOR SMALL AMOUNTS
Prisoner Admits Guilt, AIIege Of
ficiaIS-CompIete Record
Is Being Sought
CHECKS FOR SMALL AMOUNTS

Because of the simple and apparently
innocent manner in which alleged fic-
titious checks were f1oated, William
Bates, II years old, 2731A North Avenue
Twenty-one, succeeded in escaping the
police dragnet that has been spread for
him for several months until last night,
when he was arrested by Patrolmen
Ferns, Hickey and Newsletter.
The youthful prisoner was sent to the
county jail, and, according to the police,
has admitted the crime of forgery. His
downfall came yesterday afternoon,
when he is alleged to have given a
check for Sc to Mrs. S. S. Schwam,
proprietor of grocery store at 1901
East Main street.
The check was written on pad Of
the Federal bank, made payable to
Lawrence Kehoe and signed by the
name of the Maier Brewing company.
Mrs. Schwam became suspicious and
telephoned to the brewery and found no
such person as Kehoe worked there.
She reported to the east side station,
and gave an accurate description of
Bates, which resulted in his arrest last
night.
Bates came to Los Angeles eighteen
months ago and since has been en-
ployed by his uncle making banana
crates. His uncle always paid him by
check, which is believed to be the rea-
son the youth thought of the plan of
writing checks himself.
April 4, it is alleged, Bates passed a
check for Sc on ]. L. Stewart, a grocer
of 22S North Avenue Twenty. The
police went to work on the case, and
since that date have received numerous
reports of similar checks for small
amounts being passed.
A few days ago Mckay & Monkman,
druggists, reported receiving a bogus
check for 81, and the description of the
youth who passed it is the description
of Bates. The police believe a number
of such checks have been passed by
Bates, and will detain him in the county
Jail until further investigation is made.
All the checks passed by Bates are
said to have been made in a crude,
boyish handwriting, which aroused sus-
picion, but the name "Maier Brewing
company, allayed the fears of the re-
ceivers of the bogus checks until too
late to capture the forger.

UNIONS BEGINNING

1t may seem a waste of time and
space to go back to the beginning of
the w. C. T. U. and present the causes
which produced what is now the great
est organized body of women in the
world The older members of the or
ganization are familiar with it's his
tory; but new ones are coming into the
ranks daily who are not so well in
formed, and doubtless the same is true
of many Herald readers.
Following in the wake of the great
Civil War a tide of intemperance swept
over the land which for a time almost
threatened the destruction of the rem
nant of homes which had survived that
terrible conflict.
DEFENSE OF HOMES
The opening of college doors to
women had broadened their minds,
and given them more comprehensive
views of life and it's responsibilities
than the limitations and restrictions of
a previous generation afforded, and
they wero as quck to rise in defense
Of their homes as had been their hus-
bands and brothers in defense of the
country. Mothers saw their sons going
down to death, slain by an enemy more
powerful and deadly than rebel bullets.
In December, 1S73 the women in a
number of Ohio towns commenced a
united warfare against the saloons.
They gathered in the streets and
marched into saloons singing, praying
and beseeching men to cease drinking,
and saloon keepers to cease selling
liquor Inside of six months, 1t is
said, more than 1900 saloons had been
closed in the state of Ohio.
THE RESULT
The result of the crusade was that
the women of the country were aroused
and a call was issued for convention
to be hefd at Cleveland in November,
1874. At that convention the Woman's
Christian Temperance union was
organized. Mrs Annie Wittenmyer of
Pennsylvania was the first president,
and the beloved Frances Willard the
first corresponding secretary. At that
convention seventeen states were rep
resented. in all of which crusaders had
taken the initiative in temperance
work. The various lines of work taken
up by the organization were, for the
first few years, carried on by standing
committees; but at the convention in
Boston in 1880. over which Miss Fran
ces Willard presided, superintendents
Of departments were substituted.
The different organizations fostered
by the w. c. T. u. and branches of the
mother union are the young peoples
branch, with a membership of young
men and women ranging in age from
II to 80 years; the Loyal Temperance
legion, composed of girls and boys from
