PURSE SNATCHERS.
They Perform a Highway Robbery
by Daylight.


Yesterday afternoon, about l 80
o'clock, Mrs. G. W. Strong, an elderly
lady, who resides at $40 South Hill
street, left the house of a friend, whom
she had called upon on Bunker Hill
avenue, and proceeded in the direction
of Fourth street. After walking short
distance, Mrs. Strong was met by two
young men who looked like tramps,
and as they passed her one Of
them remarked in loud voice
that they "must be on the
wrong street and had better go
back" The lady of course walked on
without paying any particular attention
to the tramps; but before she had gone
many feet the men came up behind her
and one of them snatched small black
leather handbag from her hand. Both
then ran away as fast as they
could, but the plucky old lady
followed, screaming "Police" and "Stop
thief" at the top of her voice.
On reaching Fifth street the thieves
turned and ran 10 the park, where they
disappeared. In the meantime, how
ever, lady and gentleman hearing Mrs.
Strong's yells, attempted to stop the run.

Strong then came down town and re-
ported the matter to the police; but the
officers who we're detailed to trail The Of
tenders had not succeeded in capturing
them up to late hour last night. The
stolen satchel fortunately did not contain
anything of value except one $40 gold
piece and some small change.

DIVINE HEALERS.
They Allow Another Child to Die
Unattended.


Unattead ded.
Another case similar in almost every
particular to that of the Shepard child,
who died of diphtheria at East Angeles
while in the hands of the divine healing
fanatics on the 5th of July last, was re-
ported to the Coroner yesterday. The
victim in this case was the 9-year-old
son of J. D. Hatch, firm believer in
the doctrine of divine healing, who
resides at 900 Alpine street. As
in the case of the Shepard
child, the parents of the Hatch
boy refused to call in a regular
physician or administer medicine, trust.
ing simply to their prayers to counteract
the disease. In spite of their exhorta'
tions. however, the malady was un.
abated, and in very few days the pool
child died.
Unfortunately there does not appea,
to be any statute which provides for an
emergency of this sort, and the conse
quence ia that the Coroner and District At
torneyare unable to take any steps towards
the prosecution of believers in these
strange theories. 1t will be remembered
that in the Shepard case the jury sum-
moned to inquire into the cause of death
of the child returned a verdict of ''natural
causes" and until an ordinance or statute
is passed making this so-called faith cure
public offense, it will be an impossi-
bility to suppress it.

TYPHOID FEVER.
A Neglected Case at the County Jail
Causes Alarm.

A good deal of CONSERVATION was
caused among the prisoners in the
County Jail yesterday by the report that
one of their number was stricken with
typhoid fever. Though very little was
said about the matter so as not to alarm
the other occupants of the cells, it was
considered momentous enough to sum.

man to be sent to the County Hospital,

Jail on the Both OF July with sentence
of ten days from Justice Hall's court, at
Pomona, has been ailing for some days

A select Party Slaughtering ths
Jew Fish.

For many years past it has been the
custom of Mr.. George Carson, of the
famous Dominguez ranch, at Dominguez z
Station, to cast aside for a month or two
all trials, tribulations and profits of con-
ducting a ranch of 21,000 acres, and re-
pair to the beach with his family and
friends. Those who have enjoyed his
hospitalities in the past always remem-
ber the occasion, and longingly look for
ward for the recurrence of the festivities.
Mr.. Carson and his family and friends
are now enjoying their annual vacation
at the charming seaside resort OF
Redondo Beach. Barbecues, parties, pic
MICS, fishing, yachting, hunting, bathing
aud other pleasures are INDUCED in.
Yesterday it was arranged to have q
days fishing for the susceptible jew fish
or any other species of the finny tribe
that might feel inclined to tackle bait as
we'll as hook, and thereby view the
mysteries of terra firma. A number OF
the fair sex were invited. They endured
very successfully the rolling of the
yacht Pelican, which was commanded
by Captain Denny. On their return
they managed to relate some very good
fish stories.
The ladies all cid bravely and caught
lots of fish, which were unlocked by the
gentlemen, until choppy sea was en-
countered when couple of them thought
they were indulging in cruel sport by
hooking fish, and returned to the eaoin,
and did not care for any fish lunch. The
sport continued, however, and by night
Captain Denny claimed that the catch
was the largest that he had seen or heard
OF for the season. Those present on the
fishing excursion we're Captain Denny,

Two Large Stores Burned With
an Aggregate Loss of S435 400

LOUISVILLE, KY, March s. - The
most disastrous fire in loss of
property that has occurred here in
the basement of the Kleinhans g. Simon
sons clothing house, 1926 to Asa West
Market street. In fifteen minutes after
the alarm, the blaze had spread through
kleInhanS IL Sim0nSOn'S three stores
and was leaping from the fourth floor
through the roof. Soon after the roof
fell, and little later two large sections
of the side walls. With one of
these the rear of H.. Strauss
dry goods house went down, and

KleinhanS d SimOnson'S and the adj
Joining houses had rushed into the
street. One saleswOman was shut in by
the flames and with difficulty rescued
from the second floor. The two stores
where the fire started were built COM
pactly in one of the most important
blocks in the center OF the city. A
strong west wind was blowing, and
when Strauss store, the next east, was
already burning on the top floor and
the rear fell in. sending a mass of
flames upon the loose structures in the
ceutcT OF TIE DlOck, 1t seemed inevitable
that the eastern half should burn.
After hard fight, however, the fire
men gained control and confined
the flames to the upper floors
of Strauss place. One fire
man was painfully and another
slightly hurt. One of the Kleinhans
d Simonson's buildings was owned
by Ii. Victor Newcomb. of New York,
the other by the firm. Strauss build

CHICAGO. March S.-One of the Van

the union of the Bee Line and the Big
Four systems, outlined the situation as
follows: 1t is reported that the Van
derbitS have recently purchased about
fifteen thousand shares of the Big Four
stock, the price averaging 100. This
merely gave them minority in
terest. But their purpose has al
ways been held TO be the ulti-
mate capture of the Chesapeake &
Ohio, now controlled by c. p. Hunting
ton, the Big Four being controlled by
MIR. Huntington, Dreyel. Morgan Il Co.,
George Bliss and NJ. Z. ingalls,. TO get
the Chesapeake q Ohio. they need the
Big Four, which feeds it. Hence the
deal now conSummated. 1t will be eX-
tended by making the consolidated lines
Jointly lease the indianapolis IL St.

amounting to several hundred thousand
dollars. And the new line that will be
taken into the city will be the Cleve-
land, st. Louis d Kansas City,
which is now in course of conStruc
ton. Mr.. ingalls, will be presi-

Oh terms that will give each line

The Big Four secures st. Louis and

good terminals at both Cincinnati and

Judge StearnS to-day ordered the. dis

board of trade for moneys owed them by
j. A. Mckenzie, F. B. Mills and B. r.
Clarkson, whose memberships on the
board had been sold to pay their dues.
The judge held that surplus money aris-
ing from the sale of membership was
not subject to garniShment unless it
should appear that the debtor, whose
membership was sold, was not indebted
to other members of the board. 1t seems
that the debtors in this case owed sew
eral members of the board besides those
who brought suit. This will set the
board at rest for the future regarding
this point, which has heretofore been a
source Of great trouble.
