2 REPORT GRILLS SCHOOL; LETS GREELEY Off DISGRACEFUL SYSTEM AT WHITTIER SCORED SUPERINTENDENT GETS COAT OF WHITEWASH Board Admits Knowledge of but Suggests No Blap at Desmond 'Continued from Paso Owl this to distinguish fact from fancy and idle rumor from established truth has been a defect of judgment which has produced serious and regrettable results; he has allowed himself to be imposed upon by his Informants; what he has done has been of serious injury' to the school and to its officers, and he is officiiilly and personally censurable for making, and making public, charges of immorality which he had no evidence to sustain. "He is further censurable for his efforts to prorure testimony by threats and intimidation, and also by promises of reward. "Concerning the general administration of the school your committee further reports as follows: "The act creating 'The Whittler State Srhooi" declares 'that the board of trustees shall be a body corporate and politics to receive, hold and use moneys or other property held In trust for Ihe use, and by the authority, of the state of California, and to control, manage and direct the several trusts committed to them (Sac. 3). Criticise board of trustees has not always acted as a corporate body, owing to marked incompatibility of temper and a lack of understanding of duties and authority to act only as a board and not as Individuals.

"The act further declares that the shall make all needful rules and regulations concerning its meetings and the modes of transacting Its (Sec. 7). We find a lack of care In preserving full and complete records of all matters pertaining to the business of these meetings. Too great care cannot bo exercised In preserving the details of all such transactions. "The act further prescribes that the trustees shall control, manage and direct the several trusts committed to them respectively, including the organization, government and discipline of all officers, employes and other Inmates of said (Sec.

3). We find that the organization of the school is by no means as complete and systematic as It should be; the thorough organization of good business management la wanting there. Failure of Officers "The board is required to appoint the several officers of the institution and to prescribe their duties. (Sec. 9).

Such appointments have not. In all cases, been sufficiently considered, ajid there has been a marked failure to prescribe the duties of officers. "The board of trustees has recently been compelled to dismiss officers who were morally unfit for duty In the school, because their records had not been sufficiently investigated prior to their appointments. "The law states that the board shall see 'that strict discipline is maintained' in the school (Sec. 7).

"A great mass of evidence was Introduced to show that the discipline of the staff, sb well as that of the school, Is confused and loose. "There Is a lack of system and denniteness of responsibility and eaprit de corps. "There has been no such thing as frequent and regular meetings of the superintendent with his staff of officers and teachers, and as a confeequence there is a decided 'lack of team "work-' "To the prime object of the school, the upbuilding' and reformation of the pupils, the officers not sufficiently devoted. Their work is too routine and lifeless. They need more of the living appreciation of the value of human beinga.

Need Parole System "The duty of paroling and dismissing pupils Is by law vested in the board of trustees. (Bee. 18 d). We find that the methods here employed are not such as obtain generally in the best Institutions of this character. There is no established and impersonal system of earning a parole based upon the pupil's record of work and conduct In all the departments of the institution.

"The school work, which 1b a very important feature of institutions of this character, has not received the attention that it demands. There feems to be lack of school supervision, and weekly and monthly school records and reports do not exist. Boys Need Training "In connection with the school work there should be a well equipped manual training department. Tills is one at the most important features of a school of this character and is sadly Jacking in this one. "We do not believe that proper attention is being given to the physical renovation of the pupils, to gymnastics and the general building up of weak and defective bodies.

"Improvements should be made In the hospital service. A separate build- Ing for a hospital should be erected, and a good muse should at all times be in charge. We do not approve of permitting people other than the regularly appointed physician, or other regular physicians in consultation, to prescribe for pupils. "The military training and discipline are not good. There is a laclc of proper company drills and setting up exercises.

There is a failure on the part of the major and captains to work together In harmony, captains having even refused to obey the orders of the major. The failure to prescribe the duties of officers was conspicuous in this department. Should Be Exemplary "There was considerable evidence of a degree of such moral delinquency as is never wholly absent among the pupils of such a school. We believe that the moral forces of regeneration and preservation are not used to their full extent, and even in minor matters we believe that officers should be exemplary character, and should themselves abstain from all thoae Indulgences which are forbidden to their pupils. "We take pleasure In witnessing to the unselfish devotion of the members of the board of trustees to their duties; their willingness to spend largely of their time in the Interests of the institution, and their complete freedom from making political or personal appointment or in any other way using their position as trustees of the school for personal advantage.

further take pleasure in testifying to the general good physical condition of the buildings and grounds of the institution, the good and profitable condition of the farm and many improvements that have been made; for all of which credit is largely due to Superintendent Greeley. "We must further testify to the courtPsy of the trustees and superintendent in rendering every facility to this committee in the performance of its task; and we especially wish to recognize the earnest and faithful services of Captain W. E. Connors, who acted as bailiff for the committee. "We cannot close this report without thanking the newspapers of Los Angeles, and especially the reporters who represented them at the hearing, for the full and fair report of our proceedings published from day to day.

"Very respectfully submitted, C. MOORE, K. McLEAN, "CHARLES A. EAMM, A. GATES, "Committee." "I fully concur In this report, 'E.

'OIL' DECISION PLEASES GOULD APPLAUDS JUDGE GROSSCUP'S ACTION SAYS LANDIS 1 FINE HURT CREDIT ABROAD Railroad Magnate Offers Suggestion That Some One Individual, Not Stockholders, Should Suffer By Press. NEW YORK, July the Standard Oil decision George J. Gould has expressed unqualified satisfaction. "I think," said Mr.

Gould, "that marks the turn lii the business situation. Looking at It from the standpoint of railroad credit nothing does more to hurt this credit abroad than the huge fine assessed by Judge Landis. The foreign Investor felt that at any time his property might be confiscated through no fault of his own. "Judge Grosscup's decision again affirmed the American motto of fair Mr. Gould added that he thought the one to answf- for corporation misdeeds was some one individual, not the Innocent stockholders.

It was reported today that following Mr. Gould's return there will be a series of conferences between representatives of the lnt-rests, E. Harriman and Kuhn, Loeb and that as a result the Could roads will receive strong financial support and Mr. Harriman and Kuhn, Loeb Co will have a share In the management of the Gould system. Negotiations looking to that end are said to have taken place before Mr.

Gould went abroad. GIRL PROPOSES AND IS ACCEPTED; THEY'RE WED Mailed Her Offer of Marriage for Fear Bhe Might Pop the Question to the Wrong Twin BT. LOUIS, July jrfdna Cooper Hale, East Alton bride, proposed by letter because she was afraid that if she asked L. H. Hale to his face to be hers sne might discover that she had not popped the question to L.

H. Hale at all. but to Halts twin brother. The Hale brothers look so much alike that when they are together it is hard to tell which is the other and when they are separated it is hard to tell them apart. Miss Cooper did not want to go to all the trouble of asking a man to be her husband only to find out that she had asked the wrong man, because in that case she would have to do the work all over again.

But she was confident that a letter addressed to L. H. would reach the right spot. Model Leap Year Proposal Ro she took her pen in hand and wrote like this: "Dear Mr. Hale: Will you permit me to express to you the deep respect and esteem which I feel for you, and to ask you, for the sake of our past happiness, to become my husband? I have long wished to express this desire, but had not the courage.

My love is great, indeed, and since it is for you only I feel that we could live a long and happy life together. Hoping for an early reply, I remain, "YOUR SWEETHEART." The rieht Hale got it. When he called that evening he said something about it being so sudden, blushed prettily and whispered "Yes." Told Secret to Best Friend And so they were married. That was a waek ago at the new Baptist church in East Alton. The Rev.

A. W. Judd of Bunker Hill slid the ceremony In the presence of a large number of thoir relatives and friends, none of whom knew that it wag a real leap year affair. After the wedding the happy bride told her bast'girl friend about it, with a strict injunction not to tell anybody. That is how everybody heard of It.

Miss Cooper was a school teacher before she turned her attention to wooing. She gave up her position In the But Alton schools last spring. The couple have returned from a visit, to Mr. Half's parents at 111., and have gone to In a cottage in East Alton. WON'T KISS WIFE.

"He said that sort of thing was when I laughed at a Joke In a magazine he slapped me. He said only silly people laughed. "He wouldn't take me out evenings after we were mairif-il. He said 10 uas too much to spend when I sited him to take me street ear riding, but he often atayed out late playing pinochle, and ha told me be played at $10 a game." LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 20, 1908. JAPS READY TO WELCOME FLEET GARDEN PARTY PLANNED AT YOKOHAMA ONE ENTERTAINMENT TO COST 20,000 YEN Prominent to Give Banquet to American Officers at Leading at Tea House a Feature By Associated Press.

TOKIO. July anticipation of the visit of the American fleet to Japanese waters the municipal bodies of more than one port have already taken initial steps to extend to officers and men a hearty and characteristically Japanese welcome. On July 7 the Yokohama municipality held a conference, at which the members discussed the proposed reception In honor of the fleet, which Is expected to arrive at Yokohama during October. Mr. N.

Mitsuhashi, the mayor, proposed that a garden party should be held on the cricket ground, to which should be invited about 2300 American officers, the American ambassador and his staff, and that about 20,000 yen should be spent by the city on this entertainment. The proposal was unanimously carried. A bill providing for the expenditure will shortly be submitted to the city assembly. Leading citizens will also give a banquet at a foreign hotel in honor of the American officers. In addition to the above entertainments the Yokohama chamber of commerce intends to give a Japanese dinner to the American visitors at a tea house.

It Is expected that the preparations for the occasion at the capital will be upon a proportionately elaborate scale, following the precedent created on the occasion of the last visit of the British fleet. SUES FOR $80 BOARD BILL FOR DOG KEPT BY WOMAN FOUR MONTHS Los Angeles Judge Must Decide Diffi. cult Problem Involved in Odd Case to Be Tried Be. fore Him What Is the legitimate price that should be charged for the boarding, rooming and frills of a dog? Not a common, "ornery" cur, whose commissary departments are hidden under a few inches of soil In numerous backyards, but a canine of royal blood, albeit repugnant of countenance. The question must be decided by Justice Stephens.

In whose court a complaint yesterday was filed by Mrs. Auda D. Johnson against Mrs. Eva Guderyohn, in which she demands $80 the care, keep and board of a Boston terrier named "Royal." For four months Mrs. Johnson has tickled the palate of Royal with delicious morsels, bathed him with sweet scented waters and kept the omnipHsent and disturbing flea at a safe distance.

Twenty dollars a month, Mrs. Johnson believes, Is little enough to charge for her labors.

Polly Love Florence Calender Eleanor Carey (v Miss Fanchon Everhard Nettle Mill MlllM Pip" i Miss Dorothy Bernard MIM Josephine Dillon Glory'Qaajie Miss Jane Grey BT SIDLE WHENCE CHRISTIAN," which IB I revived at the Belasco this week, was, I believe, the first of the Hall Came novels to be presented in stage form. As the story remains, in many the best of the Manxman's output, so the play is in all respects the best that has ever come from his pen. Frankly melodramatic, this play which has as Its central figures a willful woman and an Episcopalian priest in whom asceticism, begotten of defeated love, is, in the end, conquered by love triumphant, has already had a considerable life upon the English speaking stage and doubtless wil continue long aftfr many of the ephemera! Recesses of the day have been forgotten.

Be that as it may. this drama has been bo frequently presented upon local stages that its quality should be well known to Los Angeles theatergoers. Thus In revival, the audience chief concern is not the play, but the play- Crin the Belasco presentation Hobart Bosworth is cast as John Storm and Jane Grey as Glory Quayle About these two characters the conflict of the drama rages and consequently upon their shoulders falls the brunt of the production. I have long regarded the part of John Storm as one of the most difficult of realization written Into any play within the past ten years. Mr.

Bosworth, however, addressed himself to Its mastery with earnestness, dignity and genuine force. For the time he obliterates its most glaring absurdities, permitting us to appreciate their triviality and falseness only In the retrospect. Bosworth is a persuasive preacher as well as a capable actor. Both accomplishments stand him in good stead in this role. Miss Grey's Acting Miss Grey, too, acquitted hew" finely.

"Whatever you, may think of her Glory Quayle you must credit her with giving her own interpretation of the part. She avoids many of the pitfalls into which her predecessors stumbled: one in particular, which always proved unfortunate for Miss Viola Allen, who originated the part in this country. This is her reception of Drake's kiss in the first act. Miss Allen, as I remember it, became tremendously indignant at this affront and stormed so gustfully that the incident was exaggerated out of all measure. Miss Grey Indulges in no such heroics.

She approaches her big scenes carefully and yet with confidence. One of the best things she did last night was her acting in the brief scene with Father Lumplugh In the second act. Here she played with admirable restraint and yet conveyed to her audience a picture of a woman subjected to almost excruciating mental torture. In scene with Mr. Bosworth, too, in Glory's apartments, her acting was excellent.

There are flaws, of course, and there are defects for which the actress should not be held responsible. Her voice, for instance, is illy suited to emotional work. On the whole, however, her playing of the part is distinctly praiseworthy. Incidentally Glory's hair and Glory's costumes, particularly the costume of the final act, are vastly becoming to their wearer. Richard Vivian gives us a meritorious handling of Horatio Drake; Harry Glazier Is good in the badness of Lord Robert Ure; Charles Ruggles Is effective as Brother Paul, Jacques Kruger contributes a fine impersonation of Father Lumplugh, and William Terance is fussily amusing in the part of Archdeacon Wealthy.

The role of Poly Love is admirably handled by Florence Smythe and Miss Eleanor Carey is, I think, the liest Mrs. Callender I have ever seen. The parts of the "Three Graces" have been entrusted to Miss Fanchon Everhard, Miss Dorothy Bernard and Miss Lllllas Piper. These three charming young women do their best to be naughty but succeed only In attaining to a kindergarten wickedness that is highly amusing, If it is not exactly what Hall Came meant when he created the characters. The mob scene Is managed, the minor roles are In competent hands and the production, save for the setting of the third act, Js up to the, Belasco's usual high standard.
