SHOWN BY THE CENSUS

SAN BERNARDINO,. Aug. 2.--The
annual report of superintendent Nc
Pherron of the county schools shows
that during the year there were 1926
children in the first grades of the
county. In the senior year of the high
school. an advance of twelve years
from the first grade, there were but
179 pupils.
Advocates for additional technical
school facilities are using these fig
ures as arguments, claiming that the
great decrease would be materially les
sened by the establishment of poly
technic high schools offering a train
ing sought by the majority of the pu-
pills
The total number of pupils was 9279.
The staff of teachers includes accord
ing to the report. 229 women teachers
earning S162, 2,S62.50 annually; sixteen

POLICE CHIEF ACCUSES
OFFICER AT OCEAN PARK
Parent Declares George Nettle-
ton Behind Graft Charges

OCEAN PARK, Aug. I'm an inter
view tonight, Chief of Police Parent
declared that City Marshal George H.
Nettleton is back of the charges of
graft filed against him by Harry As
sador and H. o. Briggs, in which the
chief is alleged to have retained S. of
the city's money which he collected.
Chief Parent said it is the duty of the
city marshal to collect license money
and that he has been collecting money
at his office as an accommodation to
the marshal.
Marshal Nettleton differed with
Chief Parent on this score, declaring
that all taxes and license monev are
payable at his office at the cit- hall
and that he is under no obligation to
receive money from the chief of po-
lice He said he is unable to under
stand why the money collected by
Chief Parent from Assador on July 4
was not turned over to him on the fol-
lowing the time other sums of
money were reported by the chief. The
marshal denied that he has anything
to do with the graft charges.

NO CHARGES PREFERRED
Train Conductor, Under Arrest, Says
He Found School Teacher Dead in
Her R~oom-Hints at Sui
eide Theory.

Peoria, Ill.-An inquest is being held
over the remains of Miss Minnie All
lers, 20 years old, a pretty school
teacher of P~rinceville, who wa found
dead in bed in the Metropolitan hotel
here, with three bullet holes in her
body, n through the left lung and
her heart pierced by the other two.
S. E. Easterly, 81 years old, Of Chill
licothe, a conductor for the Santa Fe
railway, who for a little less than a
year had been one of the girls suit
ors, is in Jail here, but has not been
formally charged with the crime.
Easterly and Miss Ahlers registered
at the hotel as man and wife. Ac-
cording to Easterly the girl spent half
the night in tears. A few moments
before the shooting he went to the
buffet below. He was absent for aoout
15 minutes, and upon his return to
the room, discovered the body.
Tells of Suicide Threat.
Deputy Sheriff Hurff went with the
prisoner to Chillicothe. where Easter
ly said that in his room might be
found a revolver with which the girl
has threatened herself and him as
well, also letters written by her to
him containing threats of suicide.
Neither the weapon nor the letters
could be found, and it was discovered
that Miss Alters had spent an hour
In the room prior to the departure of
the couple for this city.
Easterly's efforts to cease his rela-
tons with Miss Alters are supposed
to have been responsible for the trag-
edy.
The prisoner told the coroner that
ne came to Peoria with the girl upon
her promise to leave him here and go
to Wyoming, agreeing to have nothing
further to do with him. He said that
they had not quarreled and tHat she
gave no immediate intimation of a de-
sire to take her life.
Suicide Impossible, Police Belief.
Miss Ahlers is the daughter of a
wealthy farmer living near Strong
hurst, and has not lived at home for
nearly three years. An estrangement
with her father led her to take up her
residence elsewhere. She had pre-
viously borne an excellent reputation
and her relations with Easterly were
entirely unknown.
Easterly stoutly denies that he is IN
any way concerned in the shooting.
The police, coroner and physicians
are of the opinion that it would have
been a physical impossibility for a
person committing suicide to have
fred three shots in the region o. the
body where Miss Ahler's wound are
located.

A Census Question.

Here is a sample Of one Of the tests
given to the men who took the exam
nation to be census enumerators. The
test is not exactly as 1t appears on the
question sheets, but is given from the
memory of n of the men who took
the examination:
Sarah Green and Jim Brown were
married in London, England. They
lived there four years. one child was
born to them, then they emigrated to
the United States. A child was born
to them on the ocean. They lived in
New York for nine years. during
which time three more children were
born. Then they moved to Ohio and
another child was born. Then Sarah
and Jim disagreed and were divorced.
and Sarah married another man and
a. child was born to the new union.
Jim meantime was n~aturalized.
The problem was to place the va
rious facts on the enumeration blank
as they should appear when the cen
'sus Is taken.-Columbus Dispatch.
