MOTHER PRAYS ON JAIL
STEPS FOR ERRING SON
Allowed to Embrace, Both KneeI
on Prison Floor

Pedestrians in the vicinity of the
county Jail Sunday evening were at
tracted by the sight of an aged Span
ish woman kneeling in prayer on the
Jail steps and nervously counting the
beads of her rosary. The woman prayed
and sobbed aloud, as her only son, her
sole support, was being prepared for a
trip to San Quentin prison, where he
will serve a term of five years. he haY-
ing been found guilty Of committing a
statutory offense.
The grief-stricken woman was Mrs.
H. Mendez, while her sons name ap-
pears on the sheriff's books as Jesus
Mendez. Among the people attracted
by Mrs. Mendez's sobs was Captain"
ellis, one of Sheriff Hammel's young
deputies. He being able to speak
Spanish asked her what the matter
was, and on being told by Mrs. Mem
dez that she wished to clasp her boy
tc her breast once again, Gillis took
her into the jail.
When mother and son met they
fondly embraced, but the meeting was
tut sho-t by an officer who announced
that it was time to take the prisoner
10 the station. When told to say their
anal farewells the mother and son
vent to their knees on the hard stone
floor of the Jail office and prayed that
when five years elapse they may both
be alive.

PLAN FURNISHINGS FOR
NEW HALL OF RECORDS
Board of Supervisors Examines
Samples and Drawings of
Several Bidders

The board of supervisors passed both
morning and afternoon sessions yester-
day in the examination of samples and
drawings submitted by various bidders
for furnishing the new hall of rec
ords.
On deciding to examine the bids in
the order that they had been opened,
the board first took up the California
Furniture company's bid. The draw
ings and figures presented by this firm
are in reality those of the Canton Art
Metal company of Canton, o., this firm
having furnished the designs for the
furniture and also having the matter
in charge with the exception of the
wood part of the contract, such as
mahogany counter tops, etc.
The board called for bids for the
furnishing OF four court rooms with
their accompanying offices and the de-
partments of the auditor, treasurer,
assessor, tax collector, surveyor, su-
perintendent of schools, recorder, the
supervisors office, law library and a
number of subsidiary rooms.
The plans submitted by the Califor-
mia Furniture company call for nearly
all of the furnishings finished in metal
or mable, with the exception of the
chairs. All throughout the building the
filing cases and other stationary fur
niture are planned to be finished with
marble bases.
The bid of the California Furniture
company is $247, $3.50, which is almost
100000 above the lowest bid submitted
and is nearly as high as the highest
bid. The board will resume the ex-
animation of bids this morning.

yesterday, the latter continued his case
until this morning.

TEACHERS RECEIVE
RAISE IN SALARY
Board ReviSeS Pay Schedule for
Instructors of Over Five
Years Experience
INCREASES GIVEN TO COB
Principal of Gardena High School
to Get a Pay Envelope
Fatter by $25
GIVEN TO 6O8

The board of education in it's meet
ing yesterday afternoon made impor-
tant changes in the schedules of sal
aries for grammar school teachers.
Only teachers who have had more than
five years experience will be affected
by the change. An increase Of about
$4,000 in the total of the annual pay
roll will be involved.
The maximum salary of grammar
school teachers has been for five years
$82 a month. Under the new system 1t
will be $50 a month. This means that
teachers who have had seven years or
more than seven years experience as
teachers will receive $10S0 year, while
previously they received only 1884.
The salaries of teachers of five years
or of less than five years experience
will not be changed by the action of
the board. A teacher in the sixth year
of his experience will be paid $S2 a
month, or 1884 year; a teacher in his
sixth year will be paid $50 month or
$1O32 year.
An increase will be granted to COS
teachers by the change. About one
half of these will be given the full
So a month raise.
The board first entertained the prop
ostion of making a $40 salary sched-
ule, but when it was seen that only
the teachers young in experience would
be affected by this change and that the
salaries of all teachers of more than
five years experience would be receiv-
ing the salaries to which they have
been accustomed with no change in sal
ary from five years up, this latter plan
was speedily adopted.
Two clerks in the superintendent's
office were granted an increase of $5
a month in salary. Principals of pri
mary and grammar schools in one
room buildings and in two to five-room
buildings will now be paid 1872 a month
instead of $50. The wages of janitors
will now be based on a footing of $6.25
per calendar month for each room in
stead of $500.
The high school board raised the sal
ary of the principal of the Gardena
high school from $3.50 a month to $175.
The teachers are paid according to
the "school month" plan; that is, they
receive the monthly stipend twelve
times a year, although they are en-
gagged for only about nine months.

mates as to the amount of damage
done to an automobile belonging to L.

$3.50 or let Lesperance establish his
