Annual ]. Hop

The Juniors gave their annual hop
on Wednesday evening of this week in
Central hall. Great pains and much
labor the young people had bestowed
upon the decorations and the result
was extremely pleasing. Festoons of
green and white crepe paper formed a
huge canopy for the ceiling and the
posts were wound with the same.
Evergreen trees made nice back
ground on the stage.
The party was not very large one,
due probably to much sickness and
many colds in the city and surrounding
country, but the juniors say they cleared
expenses with small margin left, and
the otherwise success of the party was
assured
Hutton's orchestra furnished good
music for the occasion.
A midnight collation. of ice cream
and waters was served.

LONDON, Nov 22.-Field Marshal Sir John French, in his report from the front. issued tonight, describes briefly an organized bombardment by the British artillery of the German lines, and refers again to the fighting in Oc tober around Loos. Of the German counter attack on October 8. Field Marshal French had previously report ed that the German losses were very heavy.- some 5000 or 5000 dead being left in front of the British and French trenches
 In denying this, the German official statement sent out Sunday, November 21, said:
 This was a pure invention, as the number of dead and missing, including those who died later of wounds, was only 7s3.''
 Field Marshal French, in his. latest report. declares that the German coill- munication refers only to one small portion of the battlefield, and reiterates that all information confirms his orig inal estimate. The text of the state ment follows;
 The following British official state ment concerning operations in the western zone was issued tonight:
 
 four days, carried out an organized bombardment of many portions of the hostile lines with great effect The enemy's artillery has been active north of Loes, east of Armentires and east of Ypres.
 A German aeroplane landed within our lines southwest of Ypres on No vember 19. The pilot and observes were captured. The machine was not damaged.
 The statements in the German re- port of the 21st regarding our front are incorrect in every particular. The report states that a large mine was successfully exploded in our position on the Ypress-Zonnebeke railway. The mine in question exploded well in front of our trenches. It caused no damage and no casualties, and we have occuz pied the ground on either side of the crater.
 The enemy made air raids on Po- peringhe on November IS and 20. Two soldiers were wounded and four cows were killed. In the second rail one

WANT TWENTY
 THOUSAND FOR
 SCHMIDT TRIAL
rnen,,bIIean A. p. Leased WIre]


 LoS ANGELES. Cal, Nov. 22.-An additional appropriation of s2O,O0O to prosecute Matthew A. Schmidt. charged with murder as a result of the Times disaster, was asked of the coun- tv board of supervisors today by Thomas Lee Woolwine, district attor- ney. He told the members of the board that if more funds were not forthcoming at once, he would be com pelled to dismiss the case or ask the court for a continuance until the money was available The money is wanted now to defray the expenses of wit nesses brought here frora the east to testify.
 According to District Attorney Wool wine. the schmidt case alone has cost the county about s31. .00O so far. A former administration expended more than s72,OO0 in the dynamite case be- fore Schmidt was arrested.
 The testimony in the Schmidt trial today consisted almost entirely of the identification of letters, bank checks and signatures taken from the files of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers in In dianapolis These letters and cheeks appear innocent on their face, but att torneys for the prosecution declare they will be able to prove they were written in furtherance of an alleged nation n-wide dynamiting conspiracy which they say led to the destruction of the Los Angeles Times building, october 1, 1910. and the death of twen- ty persons, ore of them Charles Hag- erty. with whose murder Schmidt is charged.
 Mrs. William H. Faust who was a stenographer in the office of J. J. Me Namara, secretary treasurer of the Iron Workers Association from May 1910 until 1912. was on the stand more than hours. She testified that she was familiar with the signatures of
 Philip A. Cooley of New Orleans, Eu- gene A. Clancy of San Francisco, Frank
 NJ. Ryan of Chicago, John T. Butler of Buffalo, Herbert S. Hockin of Detroit, Michael J. Young of Boston. Charles N. Beum of Minneapolis and J. J. Me Namara, all members of the executive | board of the organization at that time. She identified the signatures of these men to a large number of letters which passed between them. Attornys for 1 the prosecution will attempt to intro duce these letters in evidence later. Mrs. Faust was subjected to long I cross examination by Edwin V. Me
 Kenzie of counsel for the defense with relation to her memory of the letters and signatures, with the result that the witnesses was in tears part of the i time.
 Similar Identification of other let l ters and signatures were made by Miss Katherine M. Gallagher who was . stenographer in the office in 1909. 1 Walter Drew, attorney for the Ma tional Erectors Association, arrived ir
 Los Angeles today from New York. He | will be a witness for the prosecution 1 and will tell of his part in the contest waged in the east by. the Erectors As | sociation for the open shop, and whicf l culminated in the indictment of mum

BATAVIA, N. Y, Nov. 22.-Luigi Matroni was buried alive in the cellar of his home near Corfu, in May, 1914, his body being trampled into a newly made grave while he still begged for mercy, according to a story told by his widow to District Attorney Coon here today. This afternoon Antonio Boliva, the alleged murderer, pointed out the spot where the crime occurred, and a body was found which Mrs. Matroni identified as that of her husband. Bo- Iiva has confessed, the district attor- mel said.
 Boliva, who is Mrs. Matronfs son-in- law, is serving a six months term in the Monroe county penitentiary for a stabbing affray. Mrs. Matroni came here from Syracuse to tell the story of the murder, which she declared had been witnessed by her and her young son. Charles. Her long silence, she said, was due to fear of Boliva, who had threatened a similar fate for her and her son. When she learned he was in prison she felt safe to tell.
