POLITE BURGLAR
EXCUSES HIMSELF
INVADES HOME OF PASADENA
MINISTER
Mrs, Henry T. Btaats Answers Knock
at Her Bedroom Door and
Finds Intruder Seeking
Admittance
Paaadena Agenoy,
114 East Colorado Street
PASADENA,, Oct. 18.— A very polite
burglar visited the residence of Rev.
Henry T. Staats. 477 North Raymond
avenua, this afternoon and after ran
sacking the first floor and visiting the
second floor was frightened away by
the owner of the house and escaped by
the way he came.
It was about 3 p. m. and Rev. and
Mrs. Staats were upstairs preparing to
make a call upon friends. The burglar
pried open a rear window and entered
the bouse. In one room he found a
Btickpin and then tiptoed upstairs.
Down the hall he went to the room In
which the owner of the house was
dressing. Mr. Burglar was not at all
certain that the room was empty, so
he gently knocked at the door. Mrs.
Staats went to the door and partly
opened It. The sight of a stranger In
the gloomy hallway frightened her and
she screamed "Burglar."
The man bowed low, and with a mur
mured "excuse me," turned and ran
tor the stairs. Rev. Mr. Staats pursued
him and caught another glimpse of him
as be cllrabed out of the window and
darted away.
Peabody Case Settled
There will be no contest over the will
left by the late Miss Helen Peabody.
The announcement Is made this even-
Ing that an amicable settlement has
been reached by the contesting heirs
and the Presbyterian societies, sole
beneficiaries of the will, by which the
religious bodies recognize the Impossi
bility, under the state law as it now
stands, of more than one-third of the
property left by Miss Peabody going
to charity.
This means that about $6000 will go
Into the treasury of the missionary
societies of the Presbyterian church
and about $12,000 will be divided among
the twenty-four nieces and nephews
;who are the legal heirs.
There seems to be no objection among
them to the residence property on
Bouth Euclid avenue, this city, being
considered the share of the missionary
societies, but as the present agreement
•will not leave anything with which to
maintain the "House of Rest" there as
designed by Miss Peabody, it is likely
that the money will be accepted by the
societies instead.
Thus Miss Peubody's great desire to
found a home for Indigent missionaries
comes to nothing because of the threat
ened contest over her will.
Coursing Must Stop
Coursing at Arcadia must stop. The
Humane society announced today that
it Is ready to proceed to arrest and
prosecute the men who are responsible
for the sport at the coursing park.

taken is not made public.
Leaders Harmonized
As a result of the conference last
night the board of directors of the
Y. M. C. A. announce that General
Secretary Sams and Physical Director
Braden will retain their present official
positions.
The friction which has developed be
tween these two men was harmonized
by the board and steps taken which, It
Is believed, will prevent future clashes
of authority.
During the course of the discussion
last night Mr. Braden said that he de
sires a prolonged leave of absence next
year for the purpose of further study
in the east along the lines of his work.
The board of directors last night de
nned the exact duties of the two execu
tive heads of the association in such
a manner as to prevent their coming
into conflict again.

BIG REALTY DEAL CLOSED
H. W. Lemcke of Hueneme Railway
Buys Large Tract Near Santa
Monica
Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, Oct. IS.— Real es
tate men are on the qul vive tonight
and the air is full of rumors concern
ing the significance of a sale an
nounced today, whereby for a consid
eration of $1000 per acre H. W. Lemcke,
general manager of the Hueneme,
Malibu & Port Los Angeles railway,
Is the ostensible purchase of one
hundred acres of close-in property.
To give the deal color it Is pointed
out that Joseph Burkhard, whoso
name has appeared In connection with
the building of an electric line from
Los Angeles to the coast, controls more
than three hundred acres of land ad
joining that just purchased, and that
neither he nor Mr. Lemcke are com
mittal concerning the use to be made
of the property.
The tract is bounded by Front street,
the National boulevard, the Burkhard
property and the Andres Mach«do
holdings. Robert M. Miller and asso
ciates were the previous. owners. /
Although the election of the non
partisan ticket for a board of free

was conceded, the overwhelming ma
jority by which the ticket was elect
ed occasioned somewhat of a surprise.
The board will now have ninety days
in which to frame and submit a city

will depend Its adoption.

PROBLEMS IN HAWAII
Increase of the Japanese Population
Threatens the Future of the
Islands
Atherton Brownell in Public Opinion
writes aa follows of one of the "Prob
lems of Hawaii":
It is almost a unique situation that
a country having the possibility of
great Industries has not the popula
tion to furnish ths necessary labor..
In Porto Rico we have the opposite,
situation— 3ooo square miles of terri
tory with over 1.000,000 Inhabitants.
In Hawaii, with 6500 square miles, we
have but 150,000. In the Philippines
there are both territory and inhabit
ants, the territory undeveloped and the
people unacquainted with the rewards
from labor.
In Hawaii, with all of its possibili
ties for development-, the one Interest
that has not been neglected, that has
been nurtured and fostered and made
to grow to its fullest extent Is that of
sugar, and as a result practically all
of the large business Interests of the
150,000 people are In the hands of 6000
whites, of whom perhaps 100 control
three-quarters of the great wealth of
the islands. .. .V-ftstJ
•With the native Hawaiian race fasti
dying out, It has been necessary to
look elsewhere for the labor with, which
to cultivate the cane. Work In the
cane fields, among the tall growth.
In a humid climate, shut out from light
and air, is not such as to attract white
men. Directly in the path of Immigra
tion from the orient Hawaii has, there
fore, been compelled to seek Asiatic
labor. The Chinese coolies are prohib
ited under the Chinese exclusion laws,
so that, save for what remains of the
earlier Chinese Immigrants, Hawaii is
at the mercy of Japan for Its labor.
The direct result of this Is that the
Japanese are now one-half of the pop
ulation of Hawaii numerically, and
more than one-half In effective work
ing strength, a position in which they
feel so secure that here the yellow
peril is very real and is indicated in
a domineering and dictatorial bear
ing. The danger to Hawaii, and Inci
dentally to the whole country from
this situation, is not to be overlooked.
What is required and desired is . the
Americanization of Hawaii, whereas It
Is being Japanned — If the word may be
so used.
DECLINE IN THE BIRTH RATE
Proportion of Children to Adults
Has Decreased One.
Fourth
Some Interesting facts concerning
the proportion of children In the United
States have recently been given out
through the census bureau. At the
beginning of the nineteenth century.
It uppears, the number of children
under ten years of age constituted one
third of the population; at the end of
the century the proportion had de
clined to less than one-fourth. The
decrease in this proportion began aa
early as the decade 1810 to 1820, and
continued uninterruptedly, though at
varying rates, In each successive de
cade. This of Itself, however, is not
enough to prove a declining birth rate,
as the decrease in the proportion of
children In the total population may In
dicate merely an Increase In the aver
age duration of life and the conse
quent survival of a larger number of
adults.
But by taking the proportion of chil
dren to women of child-bearing age
we are able to get a more satisfactory
index of the movement of the birth
rate. Between 1850 and 1860, the earli
est decade for which figures can be ob
tained, this proportion increased. But
since 1860- it has decreased without. In
terruption. The decrease has been very
unequal from decade to decade, but
if twenty-year periods are considered,
it has been very regular.
In 1860 the number of children un
der 5 years of age to 1000 women 15 to
49 years of ago was 634; In 1900 it was
only 474. In other words, the propor
tion of children to potential mothers
in 1900 was only three-fourths as large
as in 1860. ...
I One is thus led to the conclusion that
there' has been a persistent decline in
the birth rate since 1860.
BARGAIN PRICES
What the Little Bird Overheard While
Keeping Quiet
The following seasonable dialogue has
been reported by the teeny little fllliloo
bird with the eavesdropping and rub
bering habit:
Her— And you figuring that I'll need a
new coat this year? I don't believe you
have given the matter a thought. And
this Is just the time to buy furs.
They're juot giving them away at this
season. This afternoon I saw the
cutest seal Jacket, wtlh high collar and
big reveres, and it was only $175.
And—
Him— Gittout, is that so? Well, on
my way home this evening I saw the
loveliest melton cloth close-weaved
split-tail autumn overcoat, and the
price tagged to it showed that they
were Just chucking It away. It was
only $95. However, I flagged It.
Her— That's It; try to turn everything
I ask you Into what you consider a
joke. Now, didn't you Just as much as
tell me, when you bought me that
common old coat lor $37 last winter
that you'd be sure to get me a seal
jacket this year?
Him— Well, 'l may have been smoking
a little last year, at that. I promised
myself a whole lot o' things at the same
time, but they still look to be about as
far away as one-sixteenth of a grain of
strychnine on the White Lot gazed at
with the naked eye from the top of the
Washington monument.
Her— Now, wait a minute. Look at
me. You don't expect me to wear that
common old $37 coat again this win
ter, do you?
Him— l haven't got any expects com
ing, except that I sure expect to Ink
up that old ulster of mine again and
swash around In it when the raw
weather drifts around.
Her — Mrs. Kergrab, whose husband
gets only sixteen hundred, Is going to
have a seal Jacket this year. She's got
it all picking out, and she's bragging
about it to me something awful.
Him— Uh-huh. Mrs. Kergrab meets
Kergrab In the disbursing office on pay
dnys, knocks him down and out with a
gnarled club, tukes hia pay envelope
from him and when Kergrab wants to
get his shoes half soled he has to beg.
her for the sixty-five cents for a week.
Her— Well, I think she does perfectly
right, the miserable, drinking thing she
has for a husband, and
Him— She hasn't left Kergrab the
price of a hooter of Swampoodle gin
for six months to my dead sure knowl
edge.
Her— Well, it's a good thing she
hasn't, so there, now. Look at the good
use she puts the money that she saves
to — she's going to have v. sealskin
jacket.
Him— Yep, and Kergrab will be
slouching and slinking down the back
streets in a bum Paisley shawl, as like
as not.
Her — And if you weren't so selfish as
to spend every penny that you can rake
and scrape on cigars and
Him— Stogies, six for five.
Her — And clothes
Him — Last suit, made' to measure In
April, $9.98.
Her — And drinks —
Him— One beer for lunch, one on my
way home from office, ten skents.
Her— And poker —
Him — Why, fury and shucks, didn't I
win 65 cents the last time I played,
four months ago?
Her — And betting on nasty old race
horses in handbooks
Him — Haven't made a bet In three
months, then it was one ace, and I came
near winning at that. Horse only got
beat four days and three hours.
Her— And thinking of nobody but
yourself —
Him — I'm thinking of having my rus
set low shoes dyed black so's I can get
the winter out of them.
Her — And here it will soon be chilly
weather, and I only need a few little
things— that peal jacket, that's Just dirt
cheap for $175, and a winter polo hat—
I saw a perfect dear yesterday for $30 —
and I have been wanting one of those
gold chatelaine bags — Mrs. Kergrab lias

Some Millinery Hints
Small and medium sized hats are cor
rect this season.
All head coverings run to the pictur
esque, and most of their smartness de
pends at the angle at which they are
tilted.
Trlcornes and long, narrow turbans
are noted by a tilt toward the front,
while larger dress hats will take any
angle becoming to the wearer. '. . ;
Shapes short In front and very deep
at the left side or back are very try-
Ing, though swagger.
The very high right side lift is most
becoming. ;
The soft pliable felt plateau will be
much used on account of the bends and
curves of the prevailing modes. A new
idea is to cover It with velvet to with
in an inch of Its edge.
Velvet is to have an increased vogue,
as well as feathers.
Roses In the faded tones are among
the fashionable trimmings.
The ostrich plume must be of a shad"
to tone In with the color of the hat.
Smoke gray, plum and burgundy
shades, green and brown, Marie Louisa
blue, with just a suspicion of green In
It, are the fashionable millinery tints of
the season.
Flat effects are sought In ostrich
feather tlmming, the idea being to use
two or three of the f ourteen-lnch length
on one hat, often letting them droop
over the back to form part of the
cachepelgne.
Lace draperies for dress hats are to
be used to a degree, arranged over the
flower trimmings in the front and then
drooping slightly to -form the cache
pelgne In the back.
January Jones on Prohibition
January Jones, a Nevada miner, has
been in America only a few years, and
our prohlblton laws still excite his won
der.
"I have visited a good many of your
prohibition states," he said the other
day In Philadelphia, "and it seems to
me that people drink there 'just the
same as In London or Paris or in Ne
vada. I don't believe prohibition ' laws
can be enforced.

expected to enter from time to time.
There seems to be no end of interest
