SEEKS MARRIAGE TO
CANCEL DEBT OF $40
Veteran Applies for License to
Wed Girl for Whom He
Purchased Hat

SANTA MONICA, April 4.-Much
amusement was created in the office of
Justice of tho Peace J. G. Steele when
John Grippe, an old soldier from Saw
telle, attempted to get a license to wed
Mary Jones, d young woman who, he
said, is employed in Los Angeles cafe.
Justice Steele informed Cripe that he
was not the proper official TO distribute
marriage licenses, and advised him to
try the county clerks office.
Cripe's matrimonial intentions were
developed since he loaned Miss Jones
$50 to purchase an Easter hat. He
said his supply Of cash was not large,
but the young woman, with whom he
had been acquainted only short time,
was anxious to appear in a new head
piece at the usual spring opening, got
the loan from him on condition that she
would marry him. She has since re-
fused to carry out hor part Of the con-
tract, according to Cripe, and he said
he is at loss how to collect the bill.
1t was understood that the marriage
would serve as a cancellation Of the in
debtedness.
A lawyer was consulted by Cripe in
order to figure out a way in which to
collect the $40, and Grippe was advised
to get a marriage license and compel
Miss Jones to accompany him to the
magistrate. MlSIaklng the directions
given him by the attorney he went to
the office of Justice Steele for the IL
cense, and the story of his belated ven
ture toward matrimony in that way
leaked out. Cripe is said never to have
been married because he harbored an
opinion that all women are tickle. His
friends say this opinion has been air
chored more securely than ever in his
mind as result of his latest expert
enCe.

MT. NJ 'KINLEY EXPLORERS
MAKE RAPID PROGRESS

SEATTLE, April 4-The steamer
Northwestern, from Valdez, Alaska,
brings news that the Mount Mckinley
expedition which left Fairbanks in jan
uary, and which is composed of Thorn
as Lloyd, Robert Horn, Harry Karsten
and Charles McGonigle, all experienced
mountaineers, made more rapid prog
ress than had been expected and at
tanned 1900 feet without special diff
Guilty.
From the 12,000-foot altitude to that
of 10000 feet an almost perpendicular
wall of ice arose, that at first seemed
to forbid further ascent. Undaunted,
the climbers began to explore the Ice
wall, and succeeded in finding a gap.
In letter sent to Fairbanks by a
hunter Lloyd said
From the surveys we have just COM
pleted, we believe we have found a
route by which we can make the sum-
nit without having to overcome very
serious difficulties. 1t will be steep
climbing over one stretch, but that is
the only prospective delay on which we
will have to figure"
When the party set out they did not
expect to make the dash for the sum-
nit until summer, but Lloyd's letter
indicates that the men intend to lose no
time.

tion had been obtained against the
company which prevents shutting off
the water either at the meters or at
the houses.
Indignation against the water COM
pany was apparent on all sides. The
attorney said: 81 glory in your spunk
for fighting the corporation. Some time
ago they shut off your water. Tonight
when we assembled here some one had
shut off the lights. If we were fighting
the light company some corporation
probably would try to shut off the air.

POLICE CLAIM DARING
THUG IS IN CUSTODY

In the arrest of Andrew Miller in
North Pasadea last night, the Los An
geles police are confident that one of
the duo of negroes who have terrortzed
the east side OF Los Angeles for sew
eral weeks by their daring and sue
cessful holddps is at last within the
clutches Of the law.
Miller, who is charged specifically
with assault with a deadly weapon In
complaint swor to by James WYATT,
who was shot by Milled, it is alleged,
at the corner of Ninth and Wilson
streets February is, is regarded as a
desperate criminal with a long career,
and he was brought to Los Angeles
late last night and lodged In the Uni
versity police station.
The arrest of Miller was made pos
sible by the identification of John
Wesley, who was held up by two
negro bandits several nights ago, Wes-
ley was attacked but he had no money
or valuables with him and during the
search by the badits was able to get
a good description Cf the two negroes,
and in his report of the hol up stated
TO the police he could identify the
men if he saw them again.
Acting on the suggestion of the police.
he visited daily the neighbOrhood or
Central avenue, and finally spotted Mil
Ter. Since then Miller has been con"
stantly trailed, but precaution was
urged in making the arrest, as the
negro bandit stated he would never be
taken alive.
Yesterday morning Miller was traced
to North Pasadena, where he was at
work in a restaurant washing dishes.
Wesley made sure of the identification,
swooped down on the negro and COW
cred him with guns before he had op-
nortunity to offer resistance.
At the Pasadena station Miller swore
vengeance on Wesley and the arrestins
officers, stating If Wesley testified
against him he would kill him when
he got out of Jail. No chances were
taken with the prisoner, and, securely
handcuffed, he was brought to Los
Angeles, muttering threats all the way.

Arthur Chamberlain, former dean or
Throop institute. who has just returned
from a trip through the east. lie
said in part:
have found that It would be false
economy to build high school on 700
little ground or to build too sman. All
buildings should be fireproof. Tne cor
rldors should be liberal. Small ana
dark corridors should be avoided. six
teen feet In width should be mlnl
mum. A separate assembly hall IS
found preferable in all institutions OF
the east. Many do not have an as
sembly hall separate. They now regreI
their condition. Study rooms shoula
be separate. In arranging for CLASS.
rooms there sheuld be an average OF
three and a half classrooms for each
100 pupils. This is exclusive OF stuuy
rooms and assembly halls, laboratory
and sloyd rooms.
"Drinking fountains should be nu-
merous, but not of the kind to be OPP

Grated by a valve turned on IN re-
cesses. other kinds are for OUTDOORS

Technical and traditional hgn
schools are not wisely separated. IN
one school where they have dinereh'
heads there is friction between the stu

The high school of the future IS a UNI
high school under one head with teen
meal classical and other departments
"The east advises for us coeduca-

RIVAL LAUNCH OWNERS
ENDANGER PASSENGERS

SAN PEDRO, April 4.-The war be-
tween launch owners running between
this port and Long Beach has reached
stage that will probably result in the
interference of the, United States in
spectors, and possibly the revoking or
the licenses OF two or three masters.
Yesterday afternoon while the launch
Comiguin was at the Fifth street land
ing she was rammed by the Virginia
The Comiguin is owned and operated
by Arthur Mason and the Virginia by
Capt. e. Z. Napier. There has been
bad blood between the two men for
several months. When Napier steered
his boat against the Comiguin yester-
day Mason retaliated by trying to ram
the Virginia. Then Napier rammed the
Comiguin again. The Virginia was not
Comiguin's bow.
Each boat was loaded with about 100
passengers, and when they struck
women screamed and children cried.
There was a heavy shock, and amid
the footing of whistles by the Pngry
boatmen fighting for the landing, con-
fusion reigned.
The boats belong to rival lines. Ma
pier operates the Nora and Virginia,
and Mason and his associates four 9TH
er boats Since the war began the price
has been cut to 10 cents for the round
trip at the Long Beach end of the line,
but the regular price of % cents for the
round trip is still maintained here. Ma
pier was recently arrested on the
charge of cutting away the lines on the
Music, one of the rival boats at Long
Beach.
There was much indignation on the
water front over the action of Mason
and Napier on account of the danger
to the passengers.

POLITICAL NOTES

There is much discussion as to who
will be selected to preside at the Dem

TWO METHODIST BISHOPS
CONDEMN VATICAN'S ACTS

CINCINNATI, April 4.-Bishop Earl
Cranston commented today sharply on
the Vatican's position regarding Col.
Roosevelt's visit. He said:
"The incident serves to emphasize all
| have said or written on the real Sig
nifcance of the Fairbanks episode.
Americansm is worth more to the
world than papal assumption, and 1t
is the spirit of Amerlcanism that is
now again put under the ban by the
pope. No honeyed words for the public
can change that fact. The Methodists
are not in this case"
Bishop John Wallien, who expressed
himself plainly when the Fairbanks ep-
isode occurred, said two monumental
blunders had been committed by the
present pope. He declared Pope Leo
was far too wise to have been guilty of
the errors of Plus.
