LIBERAL LEAGUE ADVISES
FREE SWIMMING POOLS
Members Of UniversaIist Church
May Appeal to Council

The Liberal league of the UNIVERSAL
list church is planning to establish free
swimming pools for the youth of Los
Angeles, the wish being to give them
complete facilities or, If that cannot
be accomplished, to raise fund Tor
their maintenance.
It is desired to have the pools some-
what after the plans of the Roman
baths, both beautiful and inviting,
with flowing water and with the best
OF sanitary conditions.
II the couneilmen will permit 1t
the pools may be established in the
city parks. If that cannot be done,
however, plots of ground will be pur-
chased for the institutions unless there
should be a donation of the land need
ed by some philanthropist. 1t is be-
lieved that booths and shops to be at
tached would aid greatly in maintain
ing the pools.
The members of the league already
are arranging to present Charles
Moreys opera, "The Frog Prince"
soon at the Auditorium or some other
theater, in order to obtain the nucleus
of the necessary funds. Many singers
have offered their services, and 1t is
expected that glee clubs and choruses
will aid. Edgar Temple will have
charge of the production. He and A.
D. Hunter of Blanchard hall will give
any information to interested persons.

WOMEN AND THREE
MEN FOUND SLAIN
Four Persons on a Lone Kansas
Farm Are Beaten to Death
with a Weight
MURDERER MAKES ESCAPE
indications Strongly Point to
Robbery as Motive for
Terrible Crime
MURDERER MAKES ESCAPE
rAssoclated PressI

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 10.-The bodies
Of Mrs Emeline Bernhard, 20 years
old; her son George, 40 years old; a
trapper named Morgan and a hired
man named Glenn Cottner were found
on the Barnhard farm at Martin City,
fifteen miles south of here, late today
All had been beaten to death.
The four persons were last seen allVe
bv neighbors last Wednesday. Sus-
picion was first excited when the rural
mail carrier noticed the mail was not
removed from the Bernhard box, He
notified neighbors, and this afternoon
a number visited the farm and searched
the premises.
In the barn the bodies of the three
men were found in q manger covered
with hay. Their bodies were badly
crushed. All had evidently been dead
several days. In a closet on the second
floor of the house the body Of Mrs.
Bernhard was found. Her skull was
crushed.
From the position in which Mrs.
Rernhardts body was lying, 1t is be-
lieved by the officers, that she was in
the barn at the time of the assault
and after being beaten about the head
ran into the house and then upstairs
and hid in a closet, where he died.
The sheriff is working on the theory
that the murder was committed by
Los Angeles herald., 1910-12-11

former hired hand with whom the
owners are known to have had trouble
over money. Mrs. Bernahrd is said 10
have been wealthy, and according TO
her neighbors has often had trouble
with men who worked for her becaus
eof quarrels over money.
Martin city Is near the Kansas Ine
and the Bernard farm is in Kansas.
Later investigation led to the belief
that robbery was the motive for the
murders, as the house had been ran
sacked and the pockets of the deao
turned wrong side out.
According to neighbors, Mrs. Bern
hard always kept large amount OF
money in the house.
For two Or three days people living IN
the vicinity say a stranger has Deen
seen near the Bernhard farm.
An old-fashioned clock weight was
found in the barn tonight, and evil
IDENTIFY was used by the murderer
Tom Morgan, the trapper, who was
one of the victims, was only IL years
old he lived at Rosedale, Kas., and
had been on a trapping trip in this
vicinity for a month.
The peculiar lives led by the Bern
hards made it easy for the murderer
to conceal his crime. They had little
to do with their neighbors. When they
wanted q hired hand they would SEND
to an employment agency here for one.
Arriving at the farm the employe
would be warned against associating
with neighbors.
Mrs. Bernhard placed little trust in
banks, she told her intimates. 1t was
her custom q few years ago to hide
her money in the ash pan of kitchen
range.
Officers late tonight discovered a
clew that they hope will be of some
assistance. On the door leading to the
closet in which Mrs. Bernhard's body
was found were bloody finger prints
They were broad and distinct, appear
ing to have been made by a mans
hand.
This afternoon Ley was removed TO
a local hospital, where DR.. Stearn, sur
geon Of the torpedo fleet, and DR.. Da-
wilson of the u. S. S. Iris performed
the operation of trepanning. A clot OF
blood was removed from the sailors
brain. At the end of the operation 1t
was noticed the right eye, which had
been CROSSED" presented normal ap-
pearance. The doctors decline to pre-
dict the outcome of Leys injuries. A
board composed Of Ensigns Stewart
and Donovan and Chief Machinist
Burke were named to investigate the
accident and place the responsibility
for the explosion. The inquiry will be-
gin tomorrow.

UNCLE SAM Embarrassed
AS A WARSHIP BUILDER
Government Finds 1t Cannot
Construct Vessels CheapIy
as Private Firms

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o.-The con-
tract for the new battleship Texas,
for which the Newport News Ship
building and DrydoclS company was
the only bidder, will not be awarded
until congress has an opportunity to
pass on all the questions involved in
the increased cost of naval construc-
tion.
This subject of cost is already being
brought to the attention of congress
by Secretary Meyer.
Congress will be called upon to de-
eide whether 1t will authorize a sub
stantial increase in the limit of cost
of the battleship New York, in order
to build that vessel in the government
yards, or repeal the injunction of the
last naval bill that she must be con-
structed in a government yard, thus
opening the way to build her by con
tract.
This question has been brought to
the fore by an offer received by the
navy department from the Newport
News company to construct the New
York for the same amount as Its esti-
mates for the Texas, and possibly less.
That companys bids for the Texas
ranged from 5,760, 900 to $5,830,OO0, &C
cording to the type of engines TO be
installed.
that IT will cost about $7,500,O0O to
build the New York in the government
ward at New York. If congress should
decide to construct the New York by
nrivate contract, 1t is said, bids prob
ahlv would be invited from all private
shipbuilders.

PROBING PLOT ON
LIFE OF MIkADO
Kotoku and rs Others on Trial
for Attempting to Kill
Emperor
plan FORMED IN AMERICA
Scheme to Murder Royal Japan
ese Said to Have HatChed
in San Francisco

TOXIC, Dec. 1O.-The public trial OF
Denjoro Kotoku and twenty-five asso-
ciates, including his wife, was opened
in the supreme court today. The spe-
cial court which first examined the
prisoners found all of them guilty of
plotting against the life of the en-
peror and recommended capital pun
ishment.
The alleged conspiracy was uncoV-
cred in September. Kotoku, asserted to
be the leader of the plotters, was for
merly connected with a Toxic news
paper and at one time lived in America,
where, it is said, he was associated
with a political organization with
headquarters in San Francisco. All
of the accused are described by the
police as anarchists
Though the present proceedings are
nominally public, those not directly
concerned with the trial were admitted
only during the formal Questioning OF
the defendants. This over, the court
room was cleared and the trial pro-
ceeded. It will continue several days.
1t is probable the death sentence Will
be returned, though there Is posi-
bility Of Communication.
The present is the first trial in which
the accusation is plotting against the
life of the emperor, and it Is considered

Although he has strings on thirty or more

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Dec. 19.-Cspecial)
A strange series of mlsfortunes attended
a trip by buggy OF John NJ. Hofer and his
wife and children, well-known residents OF
the Wolf Creek region in Hutchinson
county. They were going 10 a wedding
when their team became frightened and
ran away Hofer was thrown headlong
from the buggy and was afterward found
In the road in an unconscious condition.
Mrs. Hofer dropped her children one by
one out OF the buggy and risked her own
life by then jumping from the vehicle. One
child had an arm broken Joseph Tschetter
a farmer living near the scene Of the, acct
dent took the injured child in his auto
mobile and started for the nearest doctor
On the way the auto acted up and was
precipitated into a ditch, breaking one Of
the legs OF the child who had had an arm
broken when her fathers horses ran away
That no one was killed as the result Of
the runaway and automobile accident Is
considered almost miraculous,
