DECLARE FEES NOT TOO HIGH Marie Butters to Be Bride Of Victor iketcalf Monday Lorel-Comus Assembly's Last Dance One of Most Successful of Season Judge Samuels ana" Stenographers Reply to Criticisms Made, About Work OPEN 1 SCHOOL PROPOSED BY PHYSICIAN i Dr. Foster, Director of Health Ik J-' I r0mi' fit-' ill If) 1 I li iiV i A i i) 4ljx ::::0: 111 A- A2is I 1 I W.T.nWy- r. 4 "Am The at'tack on Judsre Samuels' court in regard to the stenographer's fee is regarded by him es entirely unjustifiable. "I have bfcn' holding court here from 9 a.

m. "until 4 and o'clock, and besides that have to give a good portion of my time to looking up authorities which are cited by attorneys." said the Judge this imorning. "The race-track cases have. worked us all to fleath ami that they aje broughinto court is not my fault. They District 'Attorney's officf.

the police "department and tb complaints of private Individuals are the sources from which criminal lititcation comas. As to setting cases to oblige the stenographer that is moonshine. Any one familiar with the practice of courts knows that the contending attorneys are the real masters of the situation and also the press cases on the calendar. 1 do not see how any impartial person can find cause for complaint." Judge Samuels has made one of the best officials in the city. The stenographers are Irving Magnes and Eugene "an Court.

WHAT VAN COURT SAYS. The statement that the calendars are Juggled In the interests of the shorthand reporters or that- excessive fees are earnr-d by them in the performance of their duties is excepted to by Eugene Van Court of Police Court 1. "I'p to within- a year after tSe San Francisco fire I served both courtsl when the work became so heavy I wet? Compelled to ask that I be relieved of ifttend-ance upon Judge Samuels' said Van Court this morning. "I their confined my work to Judge Smith's court. My fees for last year were $1970 for 197 per diems and $140.15 for transcriptions.

Of this latter amount $360 was paid to my transcriber and for typewriting! It must be remembered that the stenographers have nothing to do with fixing the hearing of cases, which are set upon the calendar by motion of the attorneys for the defendants with the consent of the and agreement with the prosecuting attorney. Soma days I have had as high as sixteen felony cases to report, find it is not uncommon to have fFom three to six. On such occasions I receive the fee of $10 per diem allowed by law, and what the transcribing bill amounts to. which is nothing when the defendants are discharged. I am compelled to make my appearance in court every day arid wait until the session is over, whether I get paid or not.

and as the record of last year shows there were 109- days when I did not receive a cent, but was on hand just the same. It must be remembered that in all high misdemeanors, such as threats against life, search warrants and the like, I must serve as reporter and do not get a cent for per diem, as the law will wed Victor N. Metcalf at Monday afternoon. COTILLION A GROUP OF MAIDS WHO LAST NlCxHT ATTENDED THE CLOSING OF THE LOVEL-COMUS ASSEMBLY IN MAPLE HALL. ucuai uneni, neuuiiwiieuub Outdoor Training BOARD OF EDUCATION HEARS MEDICAL REPORT Mothers' Ciub Enters Protest Against Granting of Rail-! road Franchise Dr.

X. JC. Foster, director of tha department of health development and sanitation of the schools of Oakland, submitted his report of the work done during the first half of the present school year, at the regular meeting' of the Board of Education hell last evening in the Central Bank building. la the report he recommended an open air BChool, where weak and poorly nur- ished children can be taught. Until such time, he suggested, two rooms, one east of the lake and oua west, might be provided.

He stated that this jwould in no cense of the word te a school for suck children or those afflicted with open tuberculosis. Such children, he declared, should not be In school with other but In one by themselves. The open air school should be for the weak ones, who lose ground in the ordinary school room, i PLAN ENDORSED. TM I I vr garding the open air school was endorsed in a communication by the Alameda County Society for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The communication was written by Dr.

Florence Sylvester chairman of the tuberculosis committee. She stated that the society wished to co-operate with the Board cf Education and said that until better arrangements could be made, a portable house in East Oakland and one in West Oakland should be erected, such as are now' In use as an annex to various schools. They could be arranged for an open air school by taking out part of the ide walls and replacing them long windows which can be opened or closed at will, letting into the room sun and air In large Quantities. The children should be protected from the cold by warm wraps, aoapstones am warm food and broth as is done In other cities. The segregation of these delicate children will.

It is thought, be a benefit taken as well as to themselves and will help relieve the present congestion in the EIGHT CLASS ROOMS. "The plan allows for eight class rooms, 24x20 fvet, the whole building occupying a Fpa.ce of about 140x3S feet, giving a large space for playgrounds on the supposition that the lot will be 160x200 feet. The wall of each room would consist on three sides of long windows, from "the top, to within about three feet from the floor. The roof could be of glass in iron frames and made to roll like rolling doors so that the greater part of it could be open all the time except during rainstorms. The report of Dr.

Foster is In part as follows: "During the term we examined between ISoO and 1600 children, who had been selected by the teachers. Of these between 200 and 300 were not enough defective to require notice to be sent to the They were quite generally simply slow In developing and did not require medical or surgical aid. There were, however, 12S2 who were defective to sueh a degree as to retard them In their progress. They were divided as to the defects as follows: Vision, 465; hearing, 226; defect of nasal breathing. 51; -teeth.

431; palate. orthopedic, serious disease of lungs. diseaae of nerves, -7; disease of skin. 11; disease of tonsils, 424; disease of heart, adenoids, 217; enlarged glands 246; malnutrition, 66. Many of the children had more than' one defect.

PHYSICAL INFIRMATIES. "There are many children below their normal grades simply because they are suffering from some phyjicial infirmity and the removal of the defect will aid the child in Its progress. "The largest number of the afflicted are in the lower grades and comparatively few In the high school. The vjst army of tuberculosis is largely recruited from those uflerlng from malnutrition, 'and if we stamp out this disease or very materially lessen Its draft upon our vital resources we must begin -with the children. They must bo educated in the proper methods of living.

This we are trying to do by repeated talks to the children, to the mother's clubs, to teachers and by tlie Influence of the nurses In the home, but the school life should also be such ea will improve or damage physical conditions and at the same time to an object lesson in living. "The sanitary renditions cf most of cur schools are excellent, but in a few instances it is not what we could wish, but perhaps they am us good as can be had with the buildings, at SOAP A MENACE. The floors of the school room and halls should be treated with dustine, which in a great degree lessens the dust nuisance. "The common cake of soap used by one and all is a menace to health and I would be glad to sea a soap supply furnished that would not be dangerous." A delegation representing the mothers' club of the Lafayette school appeared bo-fore the Hoard and asked that body to all in its power to prevent the City Council from granting' the to the Southern l'avltlc lor a raliroed.

Argument was begun in the United States District Coprt in the conspiracy case against former congressman Binger Hermann, hero today, Francis J. Heney making the opening address for the government. He spoke In a carefully modulated voice, rarely raising it above a conversational tone, and contended that if Hermann, as commissioner of tho general land office, "winked" at frauds in-, public lands in order to secure the friendship of certain Oregon, politicians, whose support he wanted in his senatorial ambitions, he was. Just as guilty of conspiracy as most active of the. conspirators.

Heney took up Hermann's personal character and mentioned- that estimable men had testified that it Was good. He said be wished to direct attention to Colonel Harvey W. Scott'3 testimony, especially one editorial he published in the Oregonian, as best describing Hermann's character. This editorial stated yiat Hermann was a perpetual seeker-that he was not a. high type of statesman, generally wrong on the money and tariff but he was a "sleek and oily politician, in palaver and-unctlon unsurpassed." Heney said that the government did not contend that Hermann received intrinsic compensation for tho part ho played in the alleged conspiracy, but it did claim that he was a perpetual candidate for United States Senator and that he kept men like Special Agents Ormsby and Loomls in office year after j-ear, when he -knew they were dishonest po that these men mignr aovance ins senatorial candidacy, pretending all the while "that we were deceived by the character of our agents in the Held." Herfy assorted that Hermann not only winked at.

but closed his eyes tlghtly and permitted vest frauds to be perpetrated by that "gang of politicians" in Oregon who could advance his chances.

And thos duHn the remainder of the month go to Judge Samuels. It has been said that the court reporter in Judge Samuels caurt has re ceived a larger number of cases than I nave.

i nis is only accidental and It -is possible that I may get a large number when he has practically nothing. That mere nas been an inrren.se In mrh hDir. ings is attributable to the fact that the last legislature enacted several new fel ony otlenses, among them being failure to provide and betting at the race track in these cases the testimony has to be taKen rtown as in other felonies.

"The American Tffcgraph and Telephone Oompany has no control of any other companies in Ohio, excepting the Ions' distance, the Cleveland Telephone Company and the "Western Company of Cleveland. The Western owns the Cleveland Company. In Cincinnati we do not own a controlling Interest." Mr.

The Lincoln-Roosevelt executive committee had held its meeting behind closed doors and had pledged all ft3 members to secrecy. So the lieutenant-bosses chort led Rnd said: "There these men have been for years storming about tickets that were put up in secret by a few men in a back room. Yet nr.v these same Keformers get together in a back room and go to putting up a ticket. All of which shows that in politics there must be bosses and back-room conferences, no matter whether the Terformerg or the Reformers are In power.

It's only, a question of who is to be REFORMERS UN ARM ON IOUS. And it seems that the Reformers are "hardly more harmonious than the Performers, who are all split up over Curry, Stanton, McNah and Anderson. For among the Lincoln-Roosevelt Leaguers there are some fierce, if smouldering enmities. For instance, former Governor George C. Tardee has no use in the world for his fellow townsman, former Mayor W.

R. Davis, and is fighting tooth and claw against nomination of Davis by the league. Some of the leaders In the reform movement are suspicious of Mayor Frank K. MotC and some of the supporters of Senator Belshaw freely declare that Mott la the candidate of John C. Lynch, the lieutenant of W-.

F. Her-rin, and that if the Oakland Mayor were named as the league's candidate he would very sharply indorsed by the Herrln organization. OPPONENTS ARE DREAMERS. On the other hand, some of the supporters of Mott say that his opponents are "long-hairs," theorists or dreamers, who Insist on a "rrosecuting attorney campaign" that would tear the State and the party wide open. Governor Pardee li very warmly In Mott's fight and is paid to have raved the Mayor's Bcalp whn Hiram Johnson was about to take It at a dinner and conference at John-eon's house a couple of weeks ago.

At that dinner the isit of Governor Gillett's secretary. Cooper, to Mott with the message that GlUett would not run this year was taken by Johnson to put Mott out of consideration by the league; but Pardee jumped to his feet and said he wouldn't see his friend Maughtered In th.it way. talked over some of Mott's opponents. Pardee suspected at that time that there was a plot to hand the honor to his opponent. W.

R. Davis, ivho seemed each time with feebler hand to push away the nomination crown. As for Mott. lie is being pleaded with not to leave Oakland In the lurch. The boomers over -there say they need him to lead the work of building up a city of a million Inhabitants.

Notwithstanding the definite declination of Davis of Oakland not to be candidate of the League Chester Rowell of Fresno thinks he can prevail upon Davis to alter his determination. Rowell has until Tuesday next to bring this about. STELLA TYNAN' GETS $170 EVIDENCE MONEY SAN KltANCJSCO. 1-U. fr'tclla Tynan, wlv) was arrested with Alexander Astro, for the alleged robbery of J.
