10,000 WANT NEW
STATE UNIVERSITY
Teachers' Boosting Club Starts
Circulation of Petitions
with a Rush
BUSINESS MEN BACK PLAN
Conservation of Intellect Is De
manded by Dr. Geo. F. James
in Institute Speech
Tin thousand signatures in thi ■
hours was the first response to the
v.ork of the Los Ai lea Teachers'
Boosting club, organized for the pur- j
pose of | tting a state university In |
the southern parl of the state. The
petitions are to be Bent to the state
legislature.
At the joint session ol the city find
county teachers' institute yesterday
jnorning in Simpson auditorium George
K. Larkey, presid it of the organiza
tion, made n. shorl epei i, I ointing
out the advantages of sui an institu
tion. That no teacher can rea< the
top of the. profession without a college
certificate is, he argued, right anil
fair, but it is not fair not to give every
one ,i ham c for higher education
■where he can obtain It without the
expenditure of the mom > necessary to
go north to Berkeley.
"The new intermediati schools which
are to be the center of school growth
and development, ac< ording to the
prominent educators of today, must be
put In the hands of collt graduati
. said Mr. Larkey. "Even the gri de
teachers, as well as the principals, will
have to show their certificates, a-iid the
teachers of Loa Angeles feel that the
t-tate should providi facilities in the
south for training them. Southern
alifornia represents too large a pro
portion ol the state's populai to be
turned down along educational lines.
The only means ol getting the rertiii- ■
cates now in this part of the state is '
1-v attending private universities, and
this hundreds of teachers feel they
annoi afford to do."
BACKED DV BUSINESS MBN
Thai this organization is being
backed by the business men of the |
ity. who represent capital and indus
trial interests, i- regarded by many of
the teachers as a great help.
Children provided much entertain
ment yesterday morning. The orches
tra of Pomona city schools, with .Miss
Jessie Bae Thompson as director, j
opened the program with d selection, j
then accompanied the grammar grade
chorus of the Pomona city schools, led
by Miss Minerva C. Fleming.
Dr. George P. James of the Uriiver- ,
siiv of Minnesota, formerly of the
Htate Normal school in this city, spoke
on "The Spirit of the People." Dr.
James denied the right of Americans
to speak with pride of a universal edu
cation in America.
"Education is not universal," he de
clared. "When 1 waa a young man T
once read of a tramping trip from
Harper's Ferry to various points in the |
.-■illtil The article, lingered In my mind, j
and Borne years later, when 1 had the ;
opportunity, 1 took the trip. Never j
Khali I forget the i ii tures of squalor,
of poverty and of ignorance hich were |
impressed on my mind. Scores and
hundreds of miles through mountains
settled by some of thi best stoi of
our country have been rmitti to
i, come plague I ■ -almost festering
sors _ "l Ignorance through lack of op
portunity. As against nol one in 10.000
children in Germany escaping compul
sory education we with difficulty gath
er in only 70 per i ■ nt of ours, allowing
30 per < ent to go.
WIIV Ml 1 < I XEGBO
"Some argui that it is the lack of
educational opportunity for the negro j
■which lius lowi our percentage. But
■who has given us the right to neglect
them, to perpc-l conditions likely
to Infi t posterity?
"Solidarii .. of which we are so proud,
though it be a very fine thing for a
country, may prove our greatest dan
ger ii ev< one plague spot of ignor
nnee is allowed to flourish. We hear
o. great deal in these days about con
servation —'save the forests, save the
streams, pave many wonderful and
beautiful spots for future generations."
But never 'save the intellectual forces
l>y federal conservation.' What if we
could have a sociological survey and all
form; of latent capacity should be dis
covered. Would we not start a new
campaign using federal aid Just as
purely us we now use it tor the material
conservation of our country?"
The morning session closed with an
address by Dr. Alex F. Lange on "Tie
tirement Salaries." This is a subject
very near to the heart of all educators,
and Mr. Langt* was listened to atten
tively.
Another sectional afternoon had been
planned for yesterday and all over the
city small meetings were being held for
more thorough discussion of special
(-objects.
The consensus of opinion am.>ng the
teachers is that this year the institute
I ■.)'■' much easier and therefore
much pleasanter than b. lore. Tins is I
due to Mr. Francis, whose every effort I
Jias been to lighten the sessions.

MORPHINE CAUSES ILLNESS
OF JAILED WIRE TAPPER
Governor Is Asked Not to Grant
Pardon to Prisoner
Excessive use of morphine was given
by physicians at the receiving hospital
yesterday as the cause of the 111 health
of William Lacy, no ■ serving a ISO
day sentence in the city jail tor "wire
tapping."
Following: his incarceration on De
cember 30 Lacy forwarded to Governor
Johnson the affidavits of several phy
sicians, payins: that the prisoner's heart
was so weak that imprisonment would
Impair his health.
Deputy District Attorney Vetteh yes
terday afternoon sent the governor nJ
illtional affidavits signed hy six ph.v-
I sicians, purporting tn prove that the
sole cause o£ Lacy's ill lie.altl is
morphine. As those physicians foun>i
ii" organic or functional derangement
of I hi' heart; Veitch recommends that
Lacy be forced to finish his sentence,
Lacy'B arm was bared in the eiv
ing hospital yesterday morning, re
vsaling hundreds of "prickings" l>y the

HAWLEY MAY GET
GALLOWAY'S PLACE
Fire Commissioner Admits That
Falling Star May Light
on His Breast
MAYOR SEEKS A GOOD MAN
Alexander Says Commission Will
Not Hurry in Choosing
New Police Chief
i' ii. Hawley fnr cliief of police is
i umor current at the city hall, and
Mr. Hawley himself admitted last
; that there had been indications
that something of the kind might
1 occur.
"The place lias not been offered to me
as a definite proposition)" said Mr.
] law ley.
"Are you in a receptive mood, if it
should be offered to you?" he was
questioned.
"Well, possibly," ho replied with hes
itation,
Mr. Hawley is now flro commissioner
and has acquired n reputation aw the
".live wir«>." He has Introduced Im
portant changes in the tiro department
and put It on a. basis of greater effi
ciency than ever before. Ilia en
di avors have reached beyond the fire
department, for other departments
have followed examples he has Bet.
especially in the matter of "loan
sharks." Hawley was the one who
shook the loan shark from the city
payrolls, after various administrations
hul vainly tried to do the same tiling,
and he did it by ordering the firemen to
■ tile with the city auditor revocations
■of the powers of attorney they had
I k'iven the money lenders. Now every
! city employe collects his own Biliary.
Hut If Mr. Hawley is appointed it
will not be until the police commission
Is ready to net in the matter, and this
| was clearly indicated by Mayor Alex
ander yesterday.
HATOfI GIVES VIEWS
"The police commission dors not In
tend to lie hurried in Its .selection of a
chief of police by any newspaper agl
-1 tation or any other source." said Mayor
Alexander. ','Long before any news
; iper published articles reflectinp on
the administration of the police depart
ment and demanding a change in the
head of the department the police, oom
lon had been casting about for a
good man to take Chief Galloway's
"Tentative proposals were made to
'c0..,j mm. but there has been no defi
nite decision reached. "When the com
mission has a good man tor the pla.~e
the chans-p will be made rind not before.
Newspaper articles have had the effect
if del lying such a change rather than
accelerating It, for the police commis
sion does not intend to be forced Into
anl hasty action. When a chief of po
lice Is ?i Ii ted lie will be a man well
j qualified for the place."

Pure Water Drinking
a Matter of Com
mon Sense
A Few Minutes Thought Will
Convince You That Pure Water
Is as Essential as Pure Food
You Can Rely Upon the Absolute
Purity of Puritas Distilled
Water
This question of pure foods and pure
water need not trouble anybody par
ticularly. Just use your common
sense, and the answer comes quickly
and much to the point. You KNOW
that to retain your health you must
■ l avi plenty of pure, wholesome food.
So must you have plenty of pure j
drinking water.
Water has a further function than
the mi i ■ ueni hing of the thirst. The
copious drinking ol pure water tends
to kei the body sweet and clean.
Wat nets as an internal bath. It aids
the >i.m in performing its functions.
Any skilled physclan will confirm this.
If you take impure water into the
body you'll find that the Impurities
are not easy to dispose of. Some "l 1
them an bacterial and cause disease
If the system is low in tone, Others,
especially those in Southern California
waters, are mineral in i haracter.
These minerals cannot be assimilated
by the body, nor are they readily
passed off. They become deposited
In the arteries, a fertile cause of rheu
matism and kidney troubles.
you're absolutely safe if you drink
l'uritas Distilled Water. We distill it
twice. We i ato it with pure ozoni .
We bottle it in clean glass demijohns,
so carefully that all Its wholesome pur
it;, is tuined, Even tho corks are
