ALLEGED FORGER HELD
FOR SUPERIOR COURT
Wrong Mr.. Smith Charged with
Signing Right Name-In
Jail Without Bail

Technically charged with forging his
own name, w. H. Smith, 1149 South
Olive street, was held to answer TO the
superior court yesterday by Police
Judge Chambers, before whom his pre-
liminary hearing was held. He was
remanded to the county Jail in default
of $500 bail.
Smith is charged with forging his
name to a dividend check issued to
w. H. Smith, 708 San Francisco street,
by an oil company in which the latter
Smith holds stock.
The check, mailed to an old address,
was banded from one Smith to an
other until it passed in the possession
of the South Olive street, who was en-
ployed in a garage by one w. e. Bush.
This Smith took the check to the
Citizens National bank, where he was
identified by his employer, and sue
ceeded in cashing the check. When the
right Smith returned to his home after
a vacation and did not find mis- divi-
dend check waiting for him he COM
planned. The Endorsement of w. E.
Bush gave the detectives a clew that
the wrong Mr.. Smith had cashed the
check, and he was arrested, charged
with forging his own name.
The check was identified at the hear
ing yesterday, and Smith, the rightful
owner of the check, testified regarding
his ownership. The wrong Mr.. Smith
refused to testify in his own behalf.

MANY STUDENTS ENTER
50. CALF. UNIVERSITY
Largest Freshman Class in His
tory ExpeCted-Increase in
English Department

Indications point to the most pros
porous year in the history of the Uni
versity of Southern California with
the opening of the new term in the
fall. A freshman class of at least 250
is expected, and If this expectation is
realized it will be by a considerable
margin the largest yet received. So
rapidly has the college department
grown in the last few years that,
whereas it was formerly subordinate in
numbers and Importance to the pre-
paratory school, 1t now Outnumbers the
latter two to one, the approximate en-
rollment in the college and preparatory
school being 400 and 200, respectively.
With the expansion of the college the
authorities are keeping pace in equip
ment and educational scope For in
stance, the department of English, un-
der the able direction of DIR. James
Main Dixon, has been increased in it's
teaching staff, and has been allotted
three times as much as in former
years for the extension of it's library
department. The popularity of this
branch and the demands upon it have
compelled the step.
Its seminary work for the coming
year, which will be of much interest to
teachers, will give special attention to
seventeenth-centur criticism, particu-
larly with relation to the drama. Odell
Shepard Chicago and Northwestern),
the first associate, will lecture on
rhetoric, the drama and the short
story. Paul Spencer Wood Chicago
and Wittenberg) is a new man, who
comes as second associate. He will
give his attention to rhetoric, oratory,
debate and English literature.
DR.. Ezra Healy, dean of the school
of theology, will continue his lectures
on the literature of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. Prof. Festus
owen of the Greek department will
also have classes in Greek literature.
4 new man who is highly spoken of
by those who know of his work comes
to the preparatory department. He is
Howard Lunt, who received his b. A.
at Victoria, B. c., and his M. A. at
Bowdoin in Maine Mr.. Lunt was
formerly assistant superintendent of
education at Long Beach, where he
showed not only broad education

MOTHER ANSWERS QUESTIONS

Beatrice Anita Baldwin Turnbull,
who claims to be a daughter of e. j.
C:Lucky') Baldwin, and therefore one
of the principal heirs to his $4,000, 900
estate, yesterday was made the ward
of Leo j. Mcguire realty dealer, who
was placed under bonds of $500.
This action was given official at
tention by Judge Rives of the pro-
bate department of the superior court,
where Miss Turnbull was represented
by Timothy D. Coakley and Isidore B.
Dockweiler, attorneys. The guardian
ship arrangement is preliminary to a
legal contest which will be made in
an attempt to obtain a goodly part of
the Baldwin millions for Miss Turn
bull.
Miss Turnbull. who is only 16 years
old, answered Judge Rives question,
"Who is your father?" with these
three words, ELIAS Jackson Baldwin"
Miss Turnbull's mother Miss Lillian
Ashley Baldwin, who claims she was
Baldwin's common-law-wtf made the
same answer when Judge Rives ques-
toned her regarding the father of her
daughter. Both the alleged heiress and
her mother declared that her birth oc-
CURED in Los Angeles.
In appointing Mr.. Mcguire the girls
guardian, Judge Rlves asked the at
torneys how large her estate is, receiv-
ing the answer that they hoped it
would be very large"
Considering It's present intangibility
Judge Rives placed the amount of Mr.
Maguires bond at $500, intimating that
It will be increased if the estate ma
terializes.
Mrs. and Miss Turnbull recently
came here to begin the contest of the
Baldwin will from eBrookline, Mass, a
suburb of Boston.

PETITION COUNCIL FOR
LOWER TELEPHONE RATES
Sunset Manager Explains Cause
of 0verCharge

A number of residents of Manchester
Heights yesterday petitioned the city
council for reduction in the tele-
phone rates charged them by the Sun
set Telephone company. The petition
ers set forth that, while a city ordi-
nance fixes the rate of $1.50 per month
to be charged subscribers on four
party lines, the telephone company is
forcing them to pay $3.50 per month
for five party line service. The dis
trict in which they live is between
Manchester and Florence avenues and
within the city limits.
When the petition was called to the
attention Of c. M. Seeley, manager of
the Sunset company, he explained that
the high rate charged was undoubted-
ly due to some clerical error and would
be investigated and adjusted at once.
He laid the cause of the mistake to
the great amount of extra work oc-
casioned by the recent rate ordinance
passed by the city council, explaining
that with $4,000 accounts to handle
each month it was impossible to avoid
some errors when such radical changes
were called for as by the recent ordi-
nance. Mr. Seeley denied any inten-
ton on the part of the company he
represented to over charge or not to
abide by the provisions as prescribed
by the council.
Those who complained were H. La
carman, S100 Vermont avenue; M. c.
Chamberlin, 926 West Eighty-flfth
street; G. n. Maher, 918 West
Eightieth street: r. w. Rennick, 1918
South Hoover street: Henry Rem
nick, 615 West Eighty-first street; Mrs.
Alonzo Graham, 653 West Eighty-first
street; Mrs. w. F. Woodside, 707 West
Eighty-first street; Mrs. M. A. Scullin,
817 Manchester avenue; J. H. Wads-
wath, West Eighty-first street; G. K.
FELTON, and Frank Main.
