Announcement at Tammany Club
Banquet by Capt. Cake Arouses
Enthusiasm for the Coming
Gubernatorial Campaign
Democrats of Southern California
are of the opinion that this pun of
the state should produce the next can
didate for povernor nnd Cnpt. George
M. Cake's statement made at the nn
nlversary banquet of the Tammany
club Wednesday night that Judge D.
K. Trask. would be the choice of the
Tammany club for governor was evi
dently, seed .that fell In fertile soil.
The Idea had not before been
broached and while several of tho more
conservative members of the party be
lieved that tTie announcement was a
little premtaure, a large number of
them were enthusiastic over Juris*.
Trask's probable candidacy for the
plnce.
They wern IncliriPd to believe that
Capt. Cake's statement was n "feeler, 1 '
Uirown.put to learn the real sentiment
of the community, nnd as such declared
It a success. Some frit that It Is none
too enfly- to begin nn active campaign
and expressed themselves ns ready to
do all In their power to boom Judge
Trask's candidacy. Many declared that
It would be one of the frw Instances of
the ofllce seeking the man, «h Judge
TrasK's Informal • nomination of
Wednesday night wris made without
his knowledge or connivance.
Favors Trask
In speaking of ' the illieirtlon yester
day Attorney E. I». Hutchison said:
'"I don'-t know how- we could do bet
ter than nominate Judge Trask for
governor of California. His has been
the ripe experience that makes for
capable officials and he Is well qualified
for the position. He would undoubtedly
be elected if given the nomination, ns
I believe he is one of the strongest
and best known men In California." .
r. O. Engstrom was at first inclined
to believe. that Capt- Cilje was merel\
perpetrating one of the practical Jokes
•for which he is famous when he nom
inated the superior judge for gover
nor of California, but declared that he
had given, th,e...tlu.e.a,U o n. .considerable
thought since the announcement was
made.anrT tllat the more he thought of
it the better pleased he was with th>!
suggestion
"With Judge Trask nominated for
the place there could hardly be but.
one outcome;" said Mr. Engstrom. "He
Is probably one of the most popular
irien in Southern California and is well
and favorably known in the northern
part of the state. Southern California
should have the next governor, whether
he be Democrat or Republican,- and ir
respective ' of party politics Judge.
Trask should be tlje man. H6 is a
staunch Democrat of the old school,
one of the bulwarks of the party. He
is honest and honorable in everything
he doe? and with him in the chair we
could be assured that tho state ot
California would be well and wisely
governed. ! I was at first inclined to
treat Capt. Cake's statement as a joke,
but the more I huve thought of the
question the more certain I am that it
was a "feeler" to learn the sentiment
of Southern California."
"He Is a safe man and I would sup
port him," was C. Q. Egbert's state
ment,
< . ' Farish Enthusiastic
V O. K. Parish was enthusiastic in his
praises of Judge Trask.
"I don't know much of tho sentiment
of. the northern part of the state, so
cannot make any certain predictions
on tb.e chances he would have if he
entered the race, but It looks as if there
was to be a split in the north, and If
this proves true we have the best of
chances for nominating our man.
Judge Tra.sk on the ticket would carry
Southern California almost solidly for
the Democratic ticket. Personally 1
think there is no man In the world that
U the superior of Judge Trask, and
he would undoubtedly make one of the
best governors that California has ever
known."
City Treasurer W. H. Workman was
non-committal and declined to give an
expression, declaring it was much too
early to begin a campaign.
• "While I have the highest regard for
Judge Trask, personally, I. do not be
lieve we should enter Into a campaign
now," Batd Mr. Workman.
'"I believe that Capt. Cake was car
ried away ■by the enthusiasm of the,
occasion and made his announcement
prematurely," said Nathan Cole, jr.,
In discussing the question yesterday.
"But I have long thought that Judge
Trask would make an ideal candidate
for governor. It Is certain that the
next elections will be Democratic, as
they are all over the country, and If
Judge Trask Is nominated, as I be
lieve he should be, he will certainly be
elected. He Is a very able man and
would make an efficient and fearless
governor. He standß for some radical
changes in government, but the time
in at hand when radical changes are
demanded."
Capt. George M. Cake was as en
thusiastic in his praises of Judge
Trask yesterday as he had been in his
speech at the banquet the night be
fore. "Judge Trask would make the
best race for the governorship of any
candidate we could put up," snid Capt.
Cake. "I feel sure that he will receive
the nomination."

MOTHERS TO HELP
IN CHILD STUDY
INSTITUTE JOINS PRACTICA
BILITY WITH SCIENCE
Witl Make Closer Relations Between
Home snd School Life of Child.
Dr. Blgelow Pleads for
Little Ones
1 Under J. D. Graham, president of the
Southern California Teachers' nsso
clallon, an innovation In institute work
has been successfully carried out for
the benefit of the local teachers. That
In giving a 1 lace on the program to
the lnlty In child study work, Instead
of confining the subjects to speakers
representing the scientific side only.
Hereafter, according to Mr. Graham,
the mothers' leagues will be asked to
co-operate In a measure with the
touchers In the institute programs In
the departments relating to child study.
Mrs. \V. W. Murphy, as president of
the California Federation, Child Study
clubs, presented the mother's InterestH
at the general session In Simpson au
ditorium yesterday afternoon. Owing
to the length of the program prepared,
Mrs. Murphy spoke only briefly. The
keynote of ber remarks was the great
benefit promised in the closer relation
springing up between the home and
I the school.
I "The Spirit of the Times" was tho
j title of a papt r by Prof. B, B, Clnpp
of the University of California which
i was* an appeal to give the study of
! Greek 11 larger plnce In school currlc
j iilum*.
■ "It Is to be regretted," he snld, "that
I the study of Greek Is falling off. It Is
; no longer considered necessary for an
i educated man to he a Greek scholar,
land yet there la no community thnt
would not be benefited If In Its midst!
there were a few who are familiar {
with Homer and Plato In their own
I tongue."
Pleads for Children
Dr. Edward F. nigelow was last on
j the program, but no one In the nudl
1 ence showed the slightest Inclination
j to yawn after the energetic New Eng
j lander, who has been one of the stars
I of the Institute, turned on the current
I of his wit.
I "The What for Is That?" might be
1 given nn the title of Dr. Blgelow's ad
! dress, though on the program it was
I styled "The Qui Eonl of Nature Study."
I "First of all we want nature study
jln the schools as a training fo that.
I we can establish a' fact," continued the
I speaker. "It is a mighty rare thing
! to find a man or woman who can state
i a fact. In yeare of editorial work I
i have found few people who can state
a thing simply and truthfully. People
try to color their stories to make them
appear Interesting. I. have had men
come to me with wonderful accounts
of pumpkins grown on milk that took
1 prizes at county fairs; of the two
snakes that tried to swallow each other
and kept growing smaller and smaller
until— pouf! — there wasn't any snnke
left, and I have searched all over the
states of New York and Pennsylvania
for some one that had actually seen
the phenomenal milk-fed pumpkin, but
I never laid ty< on him.
Believes Men Are Liars
"Plenty of men who had heard of
It, and plenty of men who could prove
the story, but the man himself T have
never seen, Do you wonder that t am
bald-headed? It l« the result of hav
ing listened for years to thane cock
and-bull stories with all the proof. It
has made me believe that all men are
llnrs, and so'ie women, too.
"There are teachera who assume that
I-know-lt-all nlr to Impress their pu
pils. Don't deceive yourself. That lit
tle child can see clear through your
sham. Don't try to overawe the child
With a shell of senseless dignity. The
teacher who will noj allow a child to
tell her things ehe does not know
makes a mistake. Let them ; do some
of the tnlklng and sit back yourself
nnd learn. I am going to be an at 1
torncy for my little friends as long
an I live.
"I would have nature study for boy*
so that they could rise to those helghtn
of gentleness and purity that shine
In their sisters. Through teaching
them the bcautten of nature I would
have thorn acquire those attributes
thnt do not detract from true manli
ness, but that are now maligned by
being called 'sissy.' Teach them the
oneness of all the creatures of earth,
the flowers, the Insects and all the
creatures of the air, and you will take
nway all desire from him of cruelty
to nny living thing. Teach but do not
preach to him."

CASH INSTEAD OF CREAM
Clerk In Grocery Store Reports TIM
Was Robbed While He Was
Packing Frozen Dainty
While a clerk was In the eel'nr of
the Woods &. Julian grocery, 1300
South Flgueroa street, paoklnrr Ice
cream for a customer yesterday noon,
a robber entered the store, and stole
$88. from the cash drawer. The theft
was not discovered until later, when
the clerk attempted to make. change.
J According to the story told the de
tectives that investigated the case, a
well dressed stranger entered the store
nnd asked that the clerk at or.cc pack
a gallon of ice cream and sen! it to
nn address on West Pico street. At
the. time the clerk was alone In the
store, but as the stranger lingered at
the doorway, he wan not concerned
about the safety of the store.
When the clerk reappeared after
packing the ice cream the stranger
had disappeared. From that time un

MAKES PLEA FOR
FIRE INSPECTOR
CIVIL SERVICE BOARD RE
SUMES MORIARITY CASE .
Attorney for Accused Official Intro- ■
duces Witnesses to Prove That
Escapes Would Support
Necessary Weight
The trial of Fire Inspector D. A.
Morlarity, who Is charged by Building
Superintendent Backus with certifying
dangerous 'fire escapes, was continued
yesterday afternoon before the civil
service commission nnd from the long
list of witnesses yet to be examined it
Is predicted that the trial will continue
the rest of the week and probably lap
over Into next.
During the taking of testimony yes
terday afternoon. Attorney Dillon, who
in defending Morlnrlty hinted that his
defense to the ordinance of permitting
fire escapes to be built In violation of
tho ordinance would be extenuating
circumstances. ; Both Atorney Dillon
and Morlarity admitted that some of
the Ire escapes which the inspector
had certified as being all right were
lighter than those required by ordl
nunce, but Intimated that the ordi
nance was unnecessarily severe and,
that the Inspector was Justified in pass-
Ing light fire escapes that would hold
the dead weight required by ordinance.
The ordinance requires that a dead
load of 3000 pounds must be sustained
on each balcony of a fire escape. At
torney Dillon felt convinced that he
had made his point when William Ser
rett of the Llewellyn Iron works, who
had been called as an expert witness,
testified that the balconies as con
structed under the ordinance would
sustain a dead land of nearly 20,000
pounds. He stated that the several
fire escapes which are alleged to have
been constructed In violation of the
city ordinance and for which Morairity
is on trial, would probably sustain
hut 60 per cent of the weight of those
built according to every provision of
the ordinance but at that would •be
able to bear a welght'of 10,000 pounds..
OtHcers of the Baker Iron works,
Ornamental iron works and the Union
Iron works were called on for expert
testimony and all agreed that many
of the fire escapes now being con
structed are in gross violation of the
city ordinance.
