 MT. and Mrs. Ross and their 13- year-old daughter, Charlotte, came here from their ranch While stop ping at a local hotel, Ross, it is alleged, attacked Mrs Ross with long -bladed pocket knife and, but for the interference of the daugh- ter, might have seriously injured her.
 At the hearing today Mrs. Ross and the little girl testified that Ross had seized his wife by her hair and pulled her head back, menacing her with knife. The girl had kicked one of his legs, throwing him off balance giving the woman a chance to escape. The girl, also, took down the re- ceiver of the house telephone and screamed for aid. When it came Ross was in bed.

While the total cost per pupil has been reduced from $1220O per pupil in l919-20 to the $1040O es- innate for the present year, the actual cost per pupil to the city is much less than these figures, due to the territory paying large proportion of the cost of the school. The cost per pupil to the city has been steadily recreasing since 1919- 1920, it having been reduced dur ing that time from S65.00 per pupil in average daily attendance to $3900 per pupil in average daily attendance
 Although the amount of funds received each year from the city for the operation of the school during the period has remained al- most constantly, the enrolment has increased from an average daily attendance of 291 in 1919-20 to an average daily attendance of 511 for 1929-30. The average daily at tendance for each of the years and the cost per pupil to the city is shown in the following table:

CAPITOL

Ronald Colman's screen person
atty is a reflection OF himself as he
is in private life. Never one for
flamboyant colorS or flashy clothes,
his friends know him TO be quiet
retiring IN manner and primarily
concerned with his home and a few
close friends.
Tradition has painted the star Of
"Raffles" which opened to a large
audience at the Capitol theatre
Friday and playing for the last
times Saturday. as being modest
and ~reticent, and for once, fact has
justified a belief. The conventional
Colnan garb Of recent pictures has
been sport or evening clothes. The
uniforms and costumes in which
he was attired prior to the advent
of the talkies. the star found quite
unappealing.
Rough tweeds, usually herring
bone, are his ~favoriteS for street
year in pictures. A white soft shirt
with a plain black tie was the un-
varying supplement TO this appar-
el. Hollywood neighbors know him
best in plain sack suits of blue,
sometimes worsted. serge or flan-
mel. but four out OF five days. blue.
To 60 with this, Colman generally
selects a white shirt. but either a
stiff white collar or more frequently
a soft one Here the black tie gives
way TO a striped me. Striped regi-
mental colors and Scottish plaids
come in for play because they are
decorative and-quiet.

Interesting Facts
in R. r. Yearbook

The reduction in freight rates from
1921 to January LIST, 1929, saved the
American people S5,769, $4,000 in
freight bills. In other words had
there been no reductions in rates
since 1921 and the same amount of
tonnage carried the American freight
bill would have been S5,769, 1886 900
larger than it actually was. This in
formation is found in the annual
yearbook, Railway Facts No. 8 which
has just been issued by the Western
Railways committee on Public Rela-
tons, Chicago.
One of the interesting things shown
by this pamphlet is that there has
been a continuous annual reduction in
the average ton mile rate, with the
exception of n year, from 1921,
when that rate was 1.275 cents, to
1929, when it was 1.076, or a reduc-
ton of 15.5 per cent. For the west
ern roads alone the reduction in
rates since 1921 has been 1873 per
cent. These reductions since 1921
have saved the shipper almost a bill
lion dollars more han the entire
freight venue of the railroads for
last year
These savings to the American
shipper were made possible by oper-
ating economies put into effect by
