A motion in arrest of judgment in the case Of Frank Shindelbower awaiting sentence for perjury was de- ned by Judge Kent yesterday after noon and the hearing of a motion for q new trial was set for tomorrow. Ii new trial should not he granted sen- tence will be passed upon the youth on Friday.
 The denial Of the motion in arrest followed an argument Of an hour and q half by H. H. Howard for the de- fense and District Attorney Bullard for the territory. The defense attack ed the indictment on the ground that il did not set forth that the testimony which had been given by Shindelbower against the Casino saloon and which at his trial was declared by the jury to be false, was material The alleged false testimony, il was the contention of the defense, must appear in the indictment in substance. Its material ity cannot be set forth by mere aver ment.
 The testimony of Shindelbower. so far as could be gathered from the in dictment. said his attorney, did not ap- pear to be damaging to the defense in the saloon case. It only set out that he had bought a pint of whiskey at the Casino saloon and it did not ap- pear from the indictment that the sa- loon did not have the right tn sell him whiskey. IL did not appear that he was a minor.
 Moreover. while the indictment al luded to the saloon case by its title in wi i.ah no paRy was the defendant. no mention vas thereafter made of the amuse- ment company but reference was made to the testimony of the defendant in this case against the Casino.

 He is enough of a lawyer to under stand that intent IS necessary ele- ment of crime and he swears that hc had no intention of stealing the horse when he took il. He merely wanted to go to Humbolt and did not want to walk. He accordingly rode the horse to the shelter town and on arriving there he had no further use for the animal. It would have been heartless to- turn it adrift. It was up to him to provide the animal protector. He knew enough of human nature to know: if one acquired the horse for nothing he would not take the same care of it that he would if it repre- sented something of value. Therefore he placed price on the animal. not a price SD high as to be prohibitive but just enough to interest the purchaser in his newly acquired property.

HARD BARGAIN

~ VERYONE is familiar with the
II saying a man under certain cir
~ cumstances can hardly call his
soul his own, but from eastern sources
comes a story Of a man who literally
cannot call his body his own. He was
a good specimen of humanity, and,
being hard up, sold his skeleton to an
anatomical institute. receiving part
payment in cash, with stipulation that
the goods should be delivered in first
class order when the time came
Unfortunately, the man who sold his
bones began to suffer toothache, and
after enduring the torture till it was
unbeara bic, went to 70 dentist and had
two teeth pulled. The owners of his
skeleton promptly sued him for breach
Of contract, and he in turn sued for
recovery of his skeleton. The cases
were decided against him.
The courts have ruled a mans skele-
ton is salable and that after it is sold
he has no right to impair it or alter
it in any way. If the man who doesn't
own his skeleton had asked permission
of his purchasers to have two teeth
extracted, and if permission had been
granted, no suit would have been
brought But the anatomical institute
wishes to impress on its purchased
living skeletons they must take good
care of themselves.

REVOLUTION

A MOTHER great political revolution
~ is imminent in the United King
"A dom. Affairs in the monarchical
Englsh-speaking union have reached a
crisis. Modernity Is as strong a force
in the United Kingdom as it is in the
United States. One of tie most obvi-
Gus and satisfying proofs of this is in
the views, opinions and political attl-
tude of the young Scotsmen, Irishmen
and Englishmen who are coming to the
United States.
The men Of the younger generation
are naturalized, in order to obtain the
privilege of the franchise. But in an
overwhelming majority of cases they
are, in thought, in feeling and even in

Perhaps Old Fashioned Home Sanctity
May Be Revived by William H. Crocker
tcleveland LEADER

WEARS ago, when California was
primitive and picturesque ana
Il religious, its Spanish owners had
pretty ceremony when they took
possession of a new house. The priest
or the minister came and blessed it.
William IL. Crocker. the San Fran
cisco millionaire, will move into MS
magnificent residence in Burlingame
next Friday, and, following the fine old
custom, the opening of the new nome
will be marked by this religious cere-
mony. Bishop William Ford Nlchols
will be the celebrant.
With many society people. Jaded
with the usual affairs of life and con-
stantly seeking the novel for their
pleasure or their elf-advertisement, 1t
may be that this is merely another
phase of the great unrest of the time.
But it is kindlier to see in the revival
of the ceremony a resurrection or the
old idea of the dignity and the sane
tity of the home.
1t can be charged against us all that
the modern conditions and our meek
molding to them have bereft the home
of much of it's beauty Most of us have
houses and the rich have hotels. We
have roofs to cover our heads ana
rooms to sleep and dine in. But the
home is no longer as much the center
of our own lives as it used to be, ana
the frequent focus of the interests OF
Los Angeles herald., 1910-04-17

our friends. The parents and the chill
dren no longer live in it and for it
as they did, and 1t has ceased, in
large way, to be a dropping-in place
of intimates-a rendezvous for kim
dred spirits.
When we entertain, many of US take
our friends to the theater or the club,
and as society has grown to be very
much of a business, and parties are
given to pay Indebtedness and not al
ways out of the largess of effection.
we make the biggest club our clearing
house, and invite all that are on the
wrong side of our social ledger.
The interests of the family do not
spring, as much as of old, from the
home and center of it. Father often
goes to his clubs and mothers to hers
whist or the cultivation of her mind,
as her fancy dictates. The children
have their pleasures largely outside of
the home and the sanctity of it, the
practical usefulness in making happi-
ness for ourselves, spreading sunshine
for others and building up character
all along the line, has largely disiap-
peared.
What the wealthy do, the lesser peo-
pie copy. 1t may be, then, that this
move by i-millionaire Crocker
may become a fad. And then the wise,
which means merely those that are
simple in tastes and warm in affections.
may carry the beautiful symbolism
into daily life.

CHILD SLAVERY
"ERE is a lovely and pleasant pic
ture of life in the child slave
IL states. Ammo DOmini 1910.

"ERE is a lovely and pleasant pic
ture Of life in the child slave
IL states, Ammo Domini, 1910:
children are taken to the mills at
the age of four years They work
twelve hours and sometimes more each
day. and receive about forty-four cents
day. Some Chinese children are en-
ployed in the mills at the rate of four
cents a day. With the money earned
by some of the white children families
are supported. Why? Because in the
worst child labor districts of the Uni
ted States it is almost impossible for
parents to obtain remunerative employ
ment in competition with their chill
dren"
Sometimes parents are blamed for
loafng at the expense Of their chill
drcn and sometimes they deserve to
be bamed but there are cases in
which tho old people Of a family which
includes several children are turned
down at the mills, and told to send the
"kids,' who are accepted.
Father and mother are not employed
i'm the mills because they will not work
as chcaply as their children.
The employment of children while
the parents are unemployed has d
most demoralizing tendency 1t causes
irrcsponsibility. carelcssness, Iazincss
and drunkenness Short-sightcd peo-
Pile see a lazy, careless, drunken father
loafng during business hours while his
children are at work. and conclude he
is a cruel monster who has driven his
offspring to the mill in order to graft
on their earnings.
While undoubtedly there are par
enls who succumb to the temptation
put i'm their way by child-labor oppor-
tunities and are willing to live off their
children, there are others who feel bit
terly the injustice and humiliation of
having to remain idle or partly idle
as a. result of the factory employers
preference for child labor.
In cotton districts. where child la
Dor is unhappily common, the children
usually work in the mills. Some chill
dren control one thread machine and
some two. In these machines coarse
cotton thread is made into fine thread
A Chllu WHO ldhSS CdIe oI Two IId-
chimes has one on each side, and sees
that the thread does not tangle. Some
times children thus engaged allow their
fingers to be caught in the machine
and lose hand or an arm.
Sometimes children become inValids
merely from standing in the same po-
sition all day long. They are not al
lowed to have recess for lunch, but
must eat while they work.
The American nation is disgraced by
child labor 1t is the plain duty of the
people to unite i'm a great interstate
movement for the abolition of this
most outrageous form Of white slav-
cry.

CENSUS WORKERS

Il OS ANGELES deserves congratula-
/ tions on the fine body of men en-
"A gagged in the work of census EMU
meration. Probably no census super
visor in the big United Sattes has as
able a corps of assistants as Super
Visor Farmer.
The census men are making rapid
progress 3. and are thanking their fortu-
nate stars that they are in lovely Los
Angeles and not Stunning it" in the
foreign quarters Of some big eastern
city.
It is believed that one of the great
est surprises in store for the nation
will be the official announcement of
the population of Los Angeles. By
migration from every part of the
United States. Canada and Europe, as
well as by a healthy birth rate, our
| population has been vastly increased.
| All estimates are guesswork, and are
probably within the mark.
Pressure on school space is one Of
the surest signs of extra rapid growth
of population. and part of the recent
history of Los Angeles Is concerned
with the effort Of wide-awake, patriotic
citizens to give the vast army of Los
Angeles children adequate and ample
school facilities.
Results of the census will demon
strate the necessity for making con-
slant provision for the extraordinarily
rapid increase in population of Greater
Los Angeles; and the conditions which
viii be indicated by the census returns
should help to confirm citizens in the
metropolitan view they are taking of
the necessity for voting power and har-
Dor bonds. Vote the bonds, and the re-
suIts of the census will show you the
wisdom and timeliness of the bond
issue for industrial power and for har-
bo- facilities.

POLICE MISTAKES

NTOST Of the mistakes made by the
MI police are due to eallous in
III humanity which 1--WE greatly and
sincerely regret to say) seems to
be incidental to the police business.
No matter how big-hearted, humane
and considerate man may be when
he takes service, the hard life, the
constant contact with crime. vice and
human nature in repulsive forms,
combine to give policeman the same
kind of stolidity which comes to the
soldier after the campaign is begun
and he is becoming accustomed to its
gruesome sights and sounds.
Any service in which physical vio-
lence is involved is bad for the user
OF physical violence. Shakespeare
says mercy blesses him who gives
mercy as well as him who takes, and
is mightiest in the mightiest. Con-
versely, cruelty curses him who gives
more than him who receives, and is
mightiest in the most cowardly. A
policeman who wishes to preserve his
self-respect should make a solemn
resolution never to give way to the
temptation which the possession of "a
little brief authority is constantly
placing in his way.
When a police "mistake" results in
the death Of a victim, which has been
the outcome of a most deplorable case
in Los Angeles, the inquiry into the
circumstances preceding death should
be conducted with vigor, and measures
should be taken to prevent our city
from ever again being subjected to
the risk of police mistake or error
of judgment" which results in the
death of a victim.
Exceptionally reprehensible is a con-
dition which allows privileged outsid-
ers, pals" of the police, to hammer
and abuse derenseless prisoners at the
police station We hope there never
again will he a case in which, without
police interference, a citizen assaults
murdcrously a prisoner at headquar-
ters

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY

TESUS constantly impressed on his
hearers the Importance of putting
~ his doctrine-that which we now
call Christianity-into practical effect
in every day life. For instance, in the
story of the Good Samaritan, who
helped "A wounded man and thereby
proved himself his neighbor and friend,
he emphasized the value Of practical
helpfulness. When a fellow human be-
ing is in distress don't pass by on
the other side Lend a helping hand.
Many citizens of the world today
make the journey from Jerusalem to
Jericho and fall among thieves" So
ciety still has its priests" and
"Levites," who will refuse to be neigh
Dor to man whose social or moral
grade is considered by them to be in
ferior to their own. In the big eastern
cities from time to time wealthy women
organize what they are pleased to call
Summing expeditions. Instead of be-
ing ashamed of the social conditions
which make the slums possible, they
patronize the victims Is that being
"neighborly?" Is that the lesson Of
the Good Samaritan?
People who patronize the poor when
they "relieve their necessities" are as
unneighborly as proud priest or eXclu-
sive Levite. There should be no destitu-
tion in the United States. When citi-
zens are in distress they may be the
victims of circumstances or of their
folly. In journeying from Jerusalem
to Jericho they may have fallen among
thieves.
When modern social conditions result
in the impoyerishment or sickness of an
unfortunate individual don't be like the
