PRACTICAL JOKE
CAUSES ALARM

The city was alive Thursday morn
ing with a rumor that the Ticonic
National bank building had ben brok-
en- into during the night, that the
Waterman, who is Hugh Division, had
been tied up and gagged and part
of the vault blown open and money
belonging to a certain firm stolen.
The report flew from mouth to
mouth with surprising rapidity and
while appearances indicated that
there was something "ishy" about
the tale, there was a certain amount
of credencc mixed with the doubt
given to the story. Being traced to
its source it seems that a certain man
in the city who is sort Of practi-
cal joker told another man wild tale
something to the above effect. The
nearer placed full confidence in the
tale and started to spread the same
with the result that everyone was on
the pui vive to know what had really
happened. The bank officials hardly
relished the joke as they were kept
busy answering the telephone all day
Thursday refuting the story.

EDUCATION

The committee on education on
Wednesday had the following hear
ings:
Act to increase the school age. Rep.
Maxwell of East Livermore appeared
for the measure. He stated that the
present school law provided that a
completed the 9th grade at the age of
Is, could not under the labor laws, go
to work until he was 16 years. The
pool rooms and other places were a
great temptation to them and in
many of these cases, the, boys not
only wasted their time but fell into
bad habits. The bill is designed sim
ply to keep them in school during
that year. il they have not completed
the grade 6 work.
DR.. Thomas, State superintendent
Of public schools. endorsed the plan.
substantiating Mr.. Maxwells state
ments.
Bishop Louis S. Walsh opposed the
bill. A long discussion followed. it
evidently being mixing of the effect
1cf the labor laws and the school laws
as to the age of children being per-
mitted to work.
After it was all over. the debaters
seemed to have arrived at a, -better
understanding, although Bishop
Walsh insisted that the compulsory
age limit of schooling and being per-
mitted to take up regular employ
ment was an injustice not only to the
young people but to the parents.
Rep. Hunton Of Oakland spoke for
amending the law relating. to school
house lots required by condemnation.
