.HOMESICK YOUTH
ROBS HIS FRIEND
Longing for Childhood Scenes
Drives Young Linguist to
Check Forgery


OAKLAND, July 25.-Antonio Morey,
New Bedford, Mass, and kinsman of a
wealthy Spanis family of Madrid, was
arrested today by Captain of Detectives
Petersen on charge of forgery. He
committed the crime last June, when
he was penniless in Oakland. his lodg-
ing and food then being bought for him
by Turto Valencia, a Panamanian whom
Morey met on the boat from the 18TH
mus to San Francisco. The youth
learned that his friend had $3.50 in the
Security bank of Oakland. His longing
for the old folks at home overcame
his gratitude to Valencia, and the
young man forged a check on which
he obtained ValenciaS coin. With the
money he disappeared and was easily
traced to his Massachusetts home,
where the detectives suspected he
would go.
Morey does not deny the offense. He
told Petersen it was his first, and the
detective captain will use his influence
to put the youth on probation. 1t was
the desire of the Bankers associa-
ton to have the forger punished that
caused Petersen to go east, visit Bos-
ton for extradition papers and make
the long journey back to Oakland with
Morey.
The young man left his home early
in the year for trip to South America.
He Travelled easily, having several Ian
guageS at his command, and became
friendly with Valencia only few days
after their boat had cleared from Pana-
ma. 1t was the young mans intention
to come to Oakland and obtain his first
job, and he told Valencia of his plan.
The Panamanian encouraged him, and
to aid Morey paid his expenses in San
Francisco and Oakland. He cheered the
homesick lad and did not suspect he
had been robbed when the youth dis
appeared June 2.
few days later Valencia went to
the Security bank to draw his money.
He was shown a check, which he de-
clared a forgery. 1t was evident that
young Morey was the culprit, and Va
lencia told the bankers what he knew
In consequence the youth was charged
with forgery and traced to New Bed
ford.
Morey will be arraigned in the police
court tomorrow morning.

MILK These COWS
INPUDLIC? never!
Attorney Donahue Refuses to
Allow Animals to Appear in
Local Exposition

OAKLAND. July 25.-Alameda eoun-
tvs cows will not have to submit to
the indignity of public milking at the
Pacific coast electrical exposition.
which will be held at the Coliseum ia
San Francisco next month. Thanks -
District Attorney DOnahue and the
board of supervisors. who gallantlY
came to the rescue of the cows today,
this humiliation has been averted.
The managers of the exposition
wanted the cows to stand and show
what modern science has done to ex-
tract milk by electricity. The cows
of the county, which give milk for the
patients of the county infirmary, have
for some time been accustomed to
milking machines, and it was thought
by the managers of the exposition that
they would be more docile in public
when the electric appliances were at
tached to them. Hence a request that
two cows be loaned by the supervisors
was made.
District Attorney DOnahue said it
could not be done. No cow belonging
to Alameda county was going. he said.
to be gazed at while she was milked.
He gave it as his opinion that it was
an Illegal proceeding to loan the cows
to the exposition, and the supervisors
were glad to accept his adv..ce.

SAN LEANDRO. July 25.-The board
of trustees has adopted plans and Speci-
fications for the remodeling of the pres

ing is to be divided into Offices for the
municipal departments and a commo-

to be used for a short time, as it
is hoped to erect, within two years, a
$4,000 city hall in Estudillo or Hay
ward avenue. The cost of the improve
ments will exceed $1,000.

pies Of water taken by DR.. L. W. Sid

July u.
From the sanitary analyses I would
consider the samples in every way SUI
perior to what we are at present using
Prom the bacterial analysis, while some
of the results might appear high. the
time in transit must be considered, as
bacteria multiply very rapidly, as
shown by the three different results OBJ
tafned in the three samples. The longer
the sample stands the higher the bac-
ferfal content. From the analyses
would venture the opinion that the wa
ter as analyzed is satisfactory for all
domestic purposes.

The reports of the chemist and the

To thus confer

DENOMINATION of Schools.

I'm Vermont they are complaining
that there are too many women
teachers. as if unmindful of the fact
that there would not be if teachers
were paid mems wage."-Norwich
Bulletin
True for you. A great part of the
problem is involved in this very wage
proposition so tersely put by the con-
temporary. In spite of all the care
and caution employed by educational
authorities (when any is employed
at alb. the standard of the school
teachers profession is not SO high as
it should be, because most women take
up the work, not as a career, but as 81
makeshift occupation to support them
until they get married.
The result is therefore, that the
same serious, earnest, ambitious ap
plication to study and endeavor to per-
feet ideas and methods that would
characterize one going into a life
work with hopes and aspirations, are
portion of the girls that take up the
employment as mere impatient time
servers.
This paper does not lose sight of the
many noble women that have made
school teaching their life work, and
have given the best of their brains
and heart and self-sacrifice to the
calling, but it suggests that these
latter deserving ones are in worse
case because of the great army OF
frivolous fellow servants that outnun-
Der them and keep the average of pro-

Columbus Day in Boston.

The fact that this great concourse
of the sons of the Puritans was pune
tuated by the festivities of Columbus
day was a coincidence which could
not fail to provoke reflection. What
would the men of Winthrop's day or
the men of the days of Sam Adams
have said if anyone had predicted that
a time would come when an army of
$4,000 Roman Catholics, with bands
and banners, would march over Bea-
con hill? Yet I have not been able
to discover that these sons Of the Pu-
rftans now encamped in Boston have
been seriously disturbed by this eXfi-
bition. Considerable inconvenience
was caused by the parade to many of
them, but I have heard no ill-natured
word spoken about it. Nor have l
heard any outcry of alarm over this
display of the power of the ancient
church in the stronghold of Puritan-
ism. 1t would be difficult for any fair
minded man who watched that process
sion to feel that these thousands of
clean-f faced. well-dresSed, orderly, self
respecting men and boys were a dam
gerouS element in our society. We
know that their essential loyalty to
the fundamental principles of our
democracy is beyond all question

other things to consider than friend

in the face of a plain demonstration
THAI the interests of the country de-
mand his withdrawal, is an illustra-
tion of that amiable obstinacy which
he seems to share with General Grant
There is no apparent chance, the
Washington correspondent of the Jour

Indeed. his fond hops seems to be
that the distrust of Mr.. Ballinger will
be dissipated by the simple process Of
ignoring it, and that report in his
favor from n partisan committee will
undo all the mischief the accusations
against him have wrought. This, IL

By the monthly report of the secre-
tary of the state board of health there
We're 1850 deaths during the month of

August and SO more than in September
of last year, and "a more than the
September for the five years preceding.
The death rate was 1914 for the large
towns, for the small towns 15.2, and
1873 for the whole state.

There have been many cases of con-
tagious disease about the state; there
We're four cases of scarlet fever. ten
of diphtheria or Group and two of
consumption reported during the past
month.
That New London had 10 cases of
infantile paralysis in the month of
September out of II in the whole state
would probably be a surprise to the
average citizen, though such was the
fact according to the monthly report
of Dr. J. n. Townsend of the state
board of health. The other 81 cases
were divided between "a towns. Other
than these cases the city's general
health was fairly good, there being no
