ROBS HOUSE WHILE
OWNER ENJOYS NAP
Editor Awakens from His Sleep on
Front Porch and Finds Many
Valuable Articles
Missing

While in deep thought, planning
what would grace the columns of the
paper on which he is employed as edi-
torial writer, George w. Burton fell
asleep in a chair on the front porch
of his home, 2517 West Sixth street,
yesterday afternoon. While doing
this a burglar was ransacking his
home from cellar to garret, and when
Mr.. Burton entered his house an in
ventory showed that the following
articles had been purloined by the
daylight prowler: A gold watch, black
hair chain, gold locket, gold chain,
thirteen-inch string of gold beads,
diamond ring, gold bar pin, oval
shaped gold stickpin, black enamel pin,
pair of silver sugar tongs. silver pickle
fork and half a dozen silver forks.
Mr. Burton reported the burglary at
police headquarters last night, stating
that the theft was committed between
1870 o'clock and 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. In his report he stated he
went to his home. and as his family
was absent ne sat on the front porch
and fell asleep. Entrance was gained
to the house by prying open a rear

Jury TO TRY GREEN
HARD TO COMPLETE
ELEVEN SECURED OUT OF go
VENlREMEN
Indications Are That Case Against
Man Facing Fraud Charge
Will Be Stubbornly
Contested

Although ninety men were examined
in a session that lasted all day in
Police Judge Williams court yester-
day but eleven jurymen were obtained
to hear the evidence in the case of
Dolph M. Green, charged with criminal
conspiracy to defraud when court ad-
journed last night.
The case is the first of a number that
have been brought against Green, the
complainant being James Quinn, VINO
alleges that Green sold him hair IN
terest in a real estate office, f4S
South Main street, for $500.
Quinn alleges in his complaint that
he was victimized by the misrepresen-
tations of Green and lost his money.
Green was represented by Attorneys
Earl Rogers and Job Hartman, While
Deputy District Attorney Arthur l..
Veitch handled the prosecution.
Attorneys for each side put the talls-
men through a gruelling examination
and although three panels of Venire-
men were examined but eleven ac-
cepted jurors were in the box when
court adjourned.
That the cases against Green Will be
stubbornly contested was indicated by
the care used yesterday in selecting a
Jury. When first arraigned Green
asked to be tried by the court, but
changed his mind and demanded jury
trial.
The case was adjourned until Mon
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, when an at
tempt will be made to complete the
jury.

ASKS COUNCIL
TO LOWER RATE
PRICE OF ELECTRICITY TOO
HIGH, is CONTENTION
Federated Improvement Association
Wishes City Rulers to Legls-
late on Basis of Ma
teriaI Reduction

Nearly a 50 per cent reduction in the
electric lighting and power rate has
been asked of the city council by the
Federated Improvement association.
Notice of resolutions to this effect
adopted by the association were filed
at the city hall yesterday by a COM
mittee of the organization, consisting
Of r. G.. Loucks. w. J. Bryant and U.
S. Frey. They ask that the rate shall
be reduced from to 90 cents.
Friction between the city and the as
sociation over the electric supply rate,
which has intermittently arisen in the
past, has been much relieved of late by
the so-called "genthemen's agreement
entered into by the old administrat ton.
With the coming of a new city gov
ernment, however, the Federated I'M
provement association assumes that
the old agreement is nullitied and re-
news its efforts fer cheaper electricity.
AS the council fixes the rates for the
year next month, the association pro-
poses that action shall be taken on its
resolution before that time.

ALLEGED BUCKET SHOP

Trial Cause Interruption of Busi-
ness at Slauson Junction

Disclosures in the recent trial of
Hurry Up Harry D. Brown that a
bucket shop was operating at Slau-
son Junction, just outside the south

ton was taken to the district attor-
ney's office, where he is said to have

cious When Husband COM
menced to Stay Out
Every Night

"He told me the same old story about

when her husband stayed away until
midnight. protested strongly when he
remained away from home until L
o'clock in the morning, and when his
absences extended to 2 and 3 O'Clock
she began an investigation, which re-
suited in the discovery that McCrary
belonged to only one lodge and It's
meetings were held once a month,
while his late homecomings averaged
tective work and Mrs. McCrary traced
her husband to the Long. Beach bath
house with another woman. A decree
was granted.

gina B. Harting from John b. Harting.

W WEEZERS, compi sses, graduate
measuring tools may be worn out
n scales, yard sticks and other
school, If the plans of the teachers
are carried out. The faculty has con-
cluded it does not know enough about
the students and a thorough psyche
logical and sociological investigation
has been ordered. The pupils are to
be measured microscopically and
scientifically in every phase of their
social, political and moral life.
First of all the instructors are to
warm up to the students under them.
1t would be impossible for an inves-
tigation to be carried on with any de-
gree of precision while the students
and faculty are in their present state
of unacquaintedness The teachers
have been instructed to extend hearty
sympathy to those under them and to
endeavor to "get next" to them in
every possible way. After the conf
dence of pupil has been won he Is
passed into the examination room
proper.
In this examination room, under
compass and yard stick, the student
is TO have wrested from him all of the
little secrets of his daily life. II
bow smokes too many cigarettes, or
if his father beats him too often or
too seldom, or if his sister wears a rat
it will be disclosed. If a girl has too
much fun socially she cannot nope 10
conceal it from the powers of her high
school. Nothing is to be left hidden.
The very brand of chewing gum that
a coed uses will go down in the school
records.
Fifty per cent of all the boys and
girls who enter high school stay no
longer than one year. Albert e. Will
son, principal of the school, has con-
ceiyed the notion that if the teachers
can gain a closer knowledge of the
life and personalities of the puplls
more of them may be induced to re-
main in school,
Knowing the conditions under which
a student is laboring in his studies
the teacher may be able to encourage
him in his progress. Mental incapac-
ity is not always the cause of stu
dent failing in his work. 1t Is thought
that a close relationship between IN
strrctor and scholar will alleviate
MANY Of the other causes.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
ASKS $1,000 MORE YEARLY Y
Abolition of Free Labor Bureau Urged
In New Scheme to Help
Organization

Nearly $1,000 a year is the additional
sum which the Associated Charities OF
Los Angeles asks of the city with
which to carry on it's work. The or
ganization requests that the city's free
labor bureau be abolished and the
money now being spent by it be trans
ferred to the charities.
The request was made at the meet
ing of the finance committee of the
council yesterday by Herman w.
Frank. president of the Associated
Charities.
His specific request was that $4O0 a
month be added to the allowance to
the charities, this sum to come from
what has been allowed the free labor
bureau. He contends that the bureau
is an unnecessary institution for the
city to maintain and that the Asso-
ciated Charities can cover the same
ground with but little extra exertion.

ing and Mining company from Jay for
$500 in June, last year, the purchase be-
ing made on Jays representations that
he had purchased the property from
John Baxter for $3O,0O0 that there were
500 tons of ore on the dumps and other
statements to show the property was Of

true, and offers to substantiate his
statements by documentary evidence.

Gated near Tecopa, Inyo county.
