MAKES OCTOBER REPORT Shows Various Numbers of Cats, Dogs, Mules and Horses Were Protected by Death from , Cruelty • m______. Counting nine lives per cat, 360 lives have gone out of existence within the last month, according to the October report of the Los Angeles Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, ■which reports: "Cats destroyed, 40." Dogs have fared better, only fifteen having gone into the hands of the Hu mane undertakers. It has been said that mules never die, but It is certain one mule is dead, the society reporting: "Mules destroyed, 1." The report also states thirty-four horses have been ' killed, making | one wonder If there Is not some sound rea soning In Hiram Green's philosophy, ■"I would rather be one 'hoss' In the country than two In town." Forty-eight horses have been put on the pension list, and one mule also has been retired from active service. Thirty-three arrests for cruelty to animals are recorded for the month, one trial for previous arrest, convic tion resulting, and three cases pending. The rest of the report Is as follows: Complaints, 146; cases investigated, 223; animals" examined, 485; animals relieved, 65; animals transported in ambulance,. 18; warnings and repri mands, 19; arersts for the month, 33; convictions, 27; acquittals, 2; dis missals, I,' ' - - - . _■ BURGLARS ENTER SALOON AND OBTAIN MONEY SACK "Thieves, Who Secured $82.50, Evi y dently Were Familiar with Place, 4As Cash Register Was Left 1 Untouched Burglars, evidently familiar with the habits of the persons employed at the saloon of McDavltt & Gollmer, 317 South. Main street, forced an entrance to the place by breaking a panel in the back door early yesterday morning and stole a sack containing $82.50. The rob bery was discovered this morning when the bartender opened -up. That the thieves were familiar with the place and the habits of the proprie tors Is shown by the fact that the cash register, in which no money Is left over night, was not molested. The sack con taining the money was left ln a secret hiding place each night, and it is sup posed the night man was seen hiding the • money by . the persons who com mitted the robbery. ASKS AID TOR CHARITY WORK BETHLEHEM INSTITUTIONS MUST HAVE MONEY TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS AT LEAST REQUIRED Rev. Dana Bartlett Appeals for Assist, ance and Formulates Plans Which Receive Official Indorse ment of Merchants Unless immediate financial assistance is forthcoming, the noble work for so cial betterment in tho Eighth ward that has been successfully advanced for the past twelve years under the superintendence of Rev. Dana Bart lett, head of the Bethlehem Institu tions, will suffer a seriouß setback; in fact, much of It will have to be aban doned. The directors of the Bethlehem benevolent board feel confident, how ever, that the people of Los Angeles and vicinity will not stand unheeding by and allow such a dire misfortune to befall a movement in which the Wel fare pit' the whole city is concerned. To raise tire funds necessary to re move the indebtedness on the property of the Bethlehem Institutions and to pay the salaries, now in arrears, of the different helpers, the plan has been formulated to make the days interven ing between now and Thanksgiving a time for a thorough canvass of Los Angeles and Jtearby towns for money. Ten thousand dollars is needed; noth ing less will be enough to meet the bare requirements of the institutions. Anything over and above that amount that may come in will be applied in carrying on the human salvage work. The means always have been Inade quate to cover more than a small part of what should be done. What the Bethlehem Institutions have done for the city on that drab little dusty Vignes street, lying in the shadow of a big brewery, fighting for social and moral cleanliness in an at mosphere physically unhealthy, will never bo computed in dollars and cents, though these services have an un doubted cash value in the saving of the despondent and desperate from crime. It costs money to oil the machinery of jails and courts, and such work as Bethlehem is doing saves a great ex pense in these departments. Thousands of colonists coming to the city now on the cheap rates from the east have in their number many who will be down on Vignes street In a lew weeks. Each winter shows that among the home seekers with money 'enough to make an independent start in a new country are hundreds who come with nothing in their pockets. Many of these are bound to become public charges of one kind or another, and the Bethlehem idea is to reach them and help them to self-support and self- ' respect before the evil forces of the city start them on the downward path. "Star Day" Indorsed The great event of the campaign will be Star day, Saturday, November 21, when 100,000 Bethlehem star badges will be for sale on the streets at 10 cents each. The Merchants and Manu facturers' association has Indorsed the scheme in the following letter: "Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 23, 1008: "To Whom It May Concern: At a meeting of the board of directors of the Merchants and Manufacturers' associ ation held yesterday the movement to pay the indebtedness of the Bethlehem benevolent board was approved. • "It is the intention of said board to make Saturday, November 21, a 'Star day,' and public spirited citizens of Los Angeles are urged to support this wor thy institution to the best of' their ability. "By order of the .board of directors, "F. J. ZEEHANDELAAR, ) ' "Secretary," These stars will be on sale also in Pasadena and in all the towns on the kite-shaped track. The co-operation of the churches and of the woman's clubs and other civic bodies augurs a successful day. Mrs. L. M. Culver, chairman of the central committee, with Mrs. H. K. W. Bent and Mrs. A. I. Bradley, are working out a plan to cover all the wards of the city with sellers of Star day badges. The Bethle hem idea also will be exploited during Porsperity week, as a worthy home product, and arrangements are being made for a booth in the exposition. - ■ - ACCUSES BOND BROKER OF SELLING RING SHE PAWNED Owner of Diamond Circlet Valued at $400 Says She Left It with Alleged Vender as Pledge ' P.

Women's Clubs The coming of "prosperity week" and its celebration are everywhere the top ics of the hour, and nowhere more so than in the women's clubs of the city, and yesterday the subject was pre sented to the attention of Wednesday Morning club members by Miss Fran ces Holmes, originator of the plan. Miss Holmes' address was a call to arms in the cause of buying and boost ing home products and was bright and entertaining as well as stirring. She affirmed that there is no more reason for Importing olives and olive oil, crackers, catsup, etc., than there is of bringing Florida oranges to the Pa cific coast, and it is very like sending coal to Newcastle. ? "It Is up to us, ana especially to the women of Southern California," she said, "to show the easterners who visit us that we have other assets than sun shine and climate." Referring to women's part in the ac tivities of the world and its progress, the speaker said that the phrase, "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rocks the world" will soon have become a thing of the past, for a woman has invented a cradle with a mechanism that may be wound up like an alarm clock and set for as long or as short a time as the mother wishes.
