JUDGE ASSERTS POLICE
SPY SYSTEM IS WRONG
Court Declares Men Lower Them
selves to Level of Women
They Arrest
Transaots q General BGnka
ing and Trust Business.

In the opinion of Police Judge Cham-
bers ''police spies" responsible for the
arrest of women who are brought into
court and fined on the testimony of
the men connected with the police spy
system, lower themselves to the level
of the women by the methods they
admit they employ in securing the ar
rests.
In disposing of a number of cases in
his court Judge Chambers, after i'm
posing fines, took occasion to express
his views on the police spy system.
He declared that although it was
necessary and right for him to impose
fines in the cases of the women in
question he was entirely in sympathy
with the decisions in other states that
the testimony of witnesses who were
directly party to offenses is not relia-
BILE.
In the cases of arrests of women by
police spies, who secured their evil
dence by directly placing themselves
in the path of such women as ordinary
citizens, Judge Chambers declared that
the prisoners were in reality-at least
from 6. moral point of View-no mora
culpable than the men themselves.
According to the sentiments ex-
pressed by the court the mere testi-
mony of the police spies should not be
sufficient to secure the conviction OF
the women. In the cases before him.
however, Judge Chambers declared
other evidence, entirely foreign to that
given by the arresting officers, wa5
sufficient to prove that the women
were guilty of the misdemeanors
charged and that 1t became the duty
of the court to intlict the usual PEN
alties. III - y

SUBURBAN|TES ASK FOR
NEW SCHOOL DISTRICTS
Many Applications at Board of
Education Show Rapid
Rural Growth

Applications on file in the Office of
Mark Keppel. county school superin-
tendent, for forming new school dis
tricts, gives evidence Of the rapid
growth of the suburban tracts sur
rounding Los Angeles.
Before a new school district can be
formed residents within its proposed
boundaries must sign a petition pre-
sented to the superintendent. At least
fifteen children must reside in a dis
trict-to-be before it Is entitled to be-
come a school district.
Four petitions are at present on file
awaiting disposition. Superintendent
Keppel will first give a hearing at
which the residents Of the prospective
district will be present and will then
make his recommendations to the
board if supervisors.
Portions of East Whittier and Little
lake, representing thirty children Of
school age in the petition, have filed
application to become g. school district
which probably will be called the Santa
Gertrudes district.
Residents from Llewellyn and the
extreme eastern section of Long Beach
city, with forty-five children who are
from two to two and a half miles from
any school house, desire school dis
trict.
Another school district probably will
be formed from a slice from the south
end of the present San Fernando school
district Fifteen children of school
age living from nine to ten miles from
any school house would benefit from
this school district. It would be known
as Zelzah.
The Grahm school district also prob
ably will be divided. There are at pres
ent 800 children attending school in
the district. A short time ago there
were only 250. The new district would
be called the Russell district in hon
or of Judge L. M. Russell who for
more than thirty years has been a
school trustee in that vicinity.
The Florence district recently was
divided and at Watts a bond election
is being called in order that the citi-
zens may build a larger school house
in place of creating another district.

THIEF SELECTS CHICKENS,
PIES, MILK AND MONEY
Police Look for Man Who Helped
Himself on San Julian st.

After stealing two gallons of milk
from a gentle COW belonging to c..
Hafen of 1156 San Julian street, thief
with bit of originality entered the
home of c. Nelson at 1142 San Julian
street, stole $25 'and a lemon pie, and
then went into the chicken corral of
A. b. Olson, 1146 San Julian street,
yesterday afternoon and added ten
fine Plymouth Rock hens to his col
lection.
Nelson was first to learn of his loss.
He went to the dresser where he had
placed the money and found the draw
ers open and the contents strewn on
the floor. simultaneously Mrs. Nelson
announced that someone had entered
the kitchen and taken her prize pies,
intended for supper.
Olson learned of the thefts of his
chickens when he went to feed the
fowls and found that the only respon-
dent to his clucks was a scrawny
rooster that had long outlived its use
fulness.
Now the detectives are searching for
a man who can milk a COW, hypnotic
chickens and locate gold coins by a
peculiar system known only to himself.

NEGRO BOY CONFESSES
TO MANY PETTY THEFTS
Little Jeff Tells Probation Officer
of Articles and EatabIes
Stolen

Little jeff" kinky-headed, black
faced boy, whose passion for apple pie
and doughnuts landed him in the juve-
nile ward of the county Jail several
days ago on a charge of helping him
self to the stock In trade of Main
street bakery while the proprietor was
across the street for an ice cream soda,
made a complete confession to Proba-
tion officer Mclaughlin of all the
things he had taken since "last Santa
Claus time"
Among the things which Little Jeff,
a nickname the jailers have given him,
couldn't keep his paws" off were ar
ticles and eatables that would stock a
country general merchandise store.
= Jeff became busy, according to his
confession, shortly after the Christmas
chicken had been swept clean from the
family platter. He invaded the back
yards of busy housewives and carried
off everything detachable. A bull pup
with one eye mysteriously disappeared
from a family doorstep and is chasing
cats somewhere out in the suburbs,
Jeff couldn't quite reckon" where. A
wheelbarrow was sold to Chinese
peddler and Hong Tow is out four bits.
Soft-feathered chickens were sacked
and beheaded. Little jeff lived high.
Then came apple pie and big round
doughnut.
Like the Paris comic of moving
picture film ran Little Jeff's career in
crime, even to the end. The public
began missing things. The sharp eyes
Of the probation officer done got wise
and Little Jeff was "pinched," Jailed
and "came through"
Big. tears polished his black cheeks
yesterday. He rubbed them away, but
they came back again. The probation
officer gave him some good advice and
told him to try to make Christmas last
all through the year Little Jeff prom
ised to be better boy in the future,
and went back to his cell feeling bet
ter for the unburdening. 1t Is said
around the county jail that they are
going to give him another chance.

Satan is loose in Los Angeles. He is
crawling about, seeking whom he may
devour. The powers of righteousness
have been called to hunt down ms sa-
tanic majesty and should you locate
him-no, don't kill him; notify Luna
park Of his whereabouts.
Religion does not enter into TINS taie'
it is a Simon pure snake story, with
an ending to be told later.
The creature bearing the name of the
Prince of Darkness is a boa constructor,
thirty feet in length, nine inches IN dl-
ameter, weighing 400 pounds, aged ~
years, valued at $2500, which escaped
yesterday from Luna park after having
sumbitted to having his photograph
taken.
Satan has been peaceably appearing
in some sideshoW somewhere down
town. Yesterday morning his owner,
F. G.. Kaufman, had the reptile taken
to Luna park with the idea of having
him photographed tWined about tree.
The ophidian was duly shot by the
camera man, and after the operation
was permitted to 'bask in the sunshine.
His keepers deserted him for few
moments, and with startling celer1ty
Satan put space between himselfAand
the men in whose keeping he had been
placed.
It is said that twenty men sought
is still listed as missing.
"He is q peaceable snake" says his
owner; "as docile as lamb. He Will
eat anything and is fond of children"
HOW YOU WILL KNOW HIM
Mothers in the vicinity of Washing
ton and Main streets have their chill
dren under lock and key, for they are
not taking any chances on whose chill
dren the big. stub-tailed python will
| bestow his affections.
To the bacchanalian inclined 1T may
be remarked that if you see snake
| in your nocturnal perambulations-
don't get f1ustered and rush away to
an anti-whisky institute and beg Tor
an injection Of bi-chloride of gold. You
haven't got 'em again. That snake
which you saw is a snake and not the
| creature of mania potu.
Boa constructors, to which family the
now wandering Satan belongs, have
great power for hugging. If you,
GWendolyn, should feel a more than
gentle pressure about your waist as
you await the arrival of your swain,
don't coyly remark, "Now, Percival,
don't you be SO rough!' Take another
look-it may be Satan.
F. P. Sargent manager of Luna park
denies that the responsibility for the
escape Of the big snake may be laid
at his door. He reluctantly consented
to the use of the park as background
to photograph a 30-foot boa constructor
on which the blight of wanderlust
might fall at any moment.
The owner of the snake Immediately
notified the newspapers of the escape
of the monster python.
