Of those now preparing to leave 4,000 will need help from the Since last February the state department has aided between 1,000 and refugees. Department officials estimate that there were about 60,000 Americans in Mexico two or three years ago and Ambassador Wilson places the number as high as 75,000. HE'S "CLOSE MOUTHED." VERA Aug.

A SECONO HALE CHARGE Complaint Holds Pomona Farmer Keeps Daughter in Until Homo Trial in (Jiiin Court. The trial of J. J. Hale, charged with beating his minor-daughter, a child of 11 years, is being heard before Justice Quin and a jury of twelve, this afternoon.

The complaint was filed by an elder daughter, Frances Hale, who alleged that her father had abused, grossly, her young sister. Pearl. Hale is a well to do farmer of Pomona, a widower. Within the last few months the little daughter, leaii, has been his housekeeper, caring for six persons. She was the star witness for the prosecution to-da and related in detail a sorrowful story of oppression.

Two elder sisters also gave testimony, in which they clainTed that the father had similarly abused them. This morning a complaint was filed with Probate Judge Harrison, by Miss Frances Hale in which it is charged tlxTl the child Pearl Hale, is kept at the home of J. J. Hale which by reason of "neglect, sruetly or depravity" in an unfit place for her.

m. for an Inquiry. -The girl had come to the city this moruing with her father, and was foundry the sheriff at the office of Mr. Hale's attorney, W. B.

Mr. Vincent Is sales manager for the Lowe Paint company, of Daytou, will es tablish agencies for his firm through out the old world.

lie leaves Sunday for San Francisco, and will go from there to Honolulu. From there he will go to Japan and Eastern Asia. Mr. Vincent formerly lived in Ot tawa for many years and is a brother of Mrs. John Shields, of Chicago, who also lived in Ottawa until a short PAY LIQUOR FINES NOT ALL CAUGHT IX CITY'S NET WILL CARRY CASES TO HIGH Ell COURT.

FIND CIGARET LAW STRICT State Statute Makes Possible Im position of $IOO Fine For Selling to Minors Shields Is Making Hard Fight to Kecjf Out or Peu But Officers Say He Goes. Not all of the parties convicted of violating the prohibitory law at the recent wholesale trials in police court, will carry the matter to a higher court. Wesley Trader, who was fined $500 succeeded yesterday afternoon in raising $280 and on payment of that amonut was, released. Friends of "Polly" Lawson, having secured from the city a promise of considerable reduction in the amount of the fine for cash in hand, are skirmishing today with expec tancy of raising enough to secure his release. George Isles is similarly situated; it is possible that he too may be able to raise a goodly portion of his fine.

FACES THE PEN. Ed. Shields is employing finesse In an effort to escape a sentence to the penitentiary. Under a state law any person convicted twice of a violation ot the prohibitory law has commit ted a felony, aud the penalty is a state prison sentence. Shields has served one sentence for a conviction It was announced, when he was con victed in police court, the other day, that he would appeal to the district court, but today it was stated in police circles that he will undertake to pay his fine.

It is intimated that this is a shrewd attempt of Shields to escape the penalties of a possible sec ond conviction in district court. "It will not help Shields any," de-clared-an attorney this afternoon. "The statute is plain to the effect that two convictions, in any state or city court constitute a felony Shields' only show for escape would be to carry his case to the higher1 court in the hope of securing a re version of the lower court." At 4 p. m. the case against Mr.

aud Mrs. John McCermick, charged -with maintaining a nuisance, will be heard in police court. The time for hearing the case against John Weaver has not been set. CIGARET LAW STRICT. The institution of the suits agalust parties for violation of the antl-cig-aret law, has caused considerable criticism of the city officials, and particularly of the city A fact is that the ordinance is not as radical as is the state law iu the matter of cigarets.

Under the state law all persons arc forbidden to sell give away or barter cigarets or cig aret paper to any person, or to have the-same in their places of business A penalty of $25 is imposed The state law with espect to min ors, in this connection, provides that every minor person who shall smoke or use cigarets, cigars or tobacco in an form, on any public road, street, alley, park or other lands used for public purposes, or in any public place of business shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and be fined in a sum not less than $25 nor more than $100." Any person who shaR furnish cigarets, cigars or tobacco in any form to minors, or permit minors to frequent premises owned, held or man aged by them for the purpose of us ing the same, shall be subject to a similar fine. The city ordinance simply provides that it is unlawful for any person to sell. or furnish the proscribed articles to minors under 16 yeas of age, and makes the penalty not more than $25.

Unless Great Britain takes a brace no first class bard will seek the place of laureate, I'm thinking; he gets some sixty pun a year and draws a cask of ale or beer, if he's inclined to drinking. The times are and "poets need good groceries on which to feed, and clothes and shoes and bonnets; unless they're nourished well they can't in noble frenzy rage and rant, and turn out odes and sonnets.

And so the Kiplings do not run for jobs that pay but sixty pun and cask of ale or porter; the crossroads poets make the race, and he who gains the measly place must cut his diet shorter. Great Britain ought to give the bard stovewood enough to fill his yard, a cow and bunch of chick- pns art nrilpr nn nil stnrfs in town instead of wiiich she screws him down, and treats him like the dickens.
