JACK, THE BURGLAR.
ANOTHER BOLD ROBBERY BY TIL E
MYSTERIOUS THIEF.
A Burglar Who Has Operated In tho City
Three Months Enters the House
of Contractor Much
more.

The police department OF this city
was never more worried than at present
over the presence OF burglar, so elu-
sive, 30 mysterious, as the one who for
the last three months has bee n operst-
ing in the southwestern part of the
city. He has committed 80 many bur-
glaries without dropping a clue as to his
identity that the detectives class him aa
Jack the Burglar. A more succe ssful
thief never operated in Los Angeles.
Jack the Burglar made his advent in
Los Angeles three months ago, and inn
mediately began his career of crime.
The superiority of his operations show
that he is an eastern productions man
who has made business of working
the second story of residences. He ia
known as porch climber" His
method is to enter the rear of house by
means of ladder, while the family are
at the dinner table or sitting in the par
lor or library early in the evening.
This mysterious burglar has entered
almost q dozen houses in this manner
aimee he arrived here. He has stolen
property the worth of which runs far in.
to the hundreds. Every one of the rob-
berries was committed in the same part
of the city. The detectives have worked
diligently and faithfully. extra police
men have besn placed in the district,
all to no avail. Last week it was thought
the placing of extra officers had caused
the ainglehanded burglar to cease his
deeds, at least in that part of town, but
in this mistake was made, and Jack
the. Burglar goes on undisturbsd.
The last burglary perpetrated by the
"porch climber" was at the residence
of Oramel j. Muchmore, contractor,
! formerly city superintendent of build
ings, at 1877 West Twenty eigh tn street
The thief entered by means of ladder
and ransacksd the upper story of the
residence. He got away with only $1.5(
in cash and few small articles of ne
| great value.

uhpor Vi people act IN the same way
here.
The best definition OF truth l have
ever heard or seen was that of nay old
professor at the Virginia, Truth is the
correspondence between thought and
things" According to this definition
let as examine some OF the questions of
the day. We might, for instance, have
the thought that the reports of the Asso.
ciated Press, especially with regard to
the industrial army, we're strictly re-
liable. This would certainly not be a
correspondence of the thought with the
thing. Or we might have the idea that
the two old parties, or that it was seri-
Qua crime for the Coxey army to
tread on the grass at Washing
ton, as the ak lawyers en-
ployed by congress- claim, or that Miss
Pollard ought to be sent to hell and
Colonel Breckenridge to congress, and
the error would be the same.
Truth is not the exclusive property of
people OF any one country or age; and
10 not founded on the teachings of any
one sage or seer. 1t belongs to all races,
all times. all teachers, all philosophers,
all religions. This ia the truth, be-
lieve, as Jesus taught it. He said you
shall not worship God in this mountain,
nor in Jerusalem, but you shall worship
God in spirit and in truth and we can
tn6 no higher ideal of truth than that
which he gave as the esssnse OF his
doctrine, Thou shalt love thy God
with all thy heart and all thy soul, and
thy neighbor as thyself."

THE AGITATOR WILL SURRENDER.
Theodore Pinther Located by
the Officers.
He Will Face the Charge of Con-
tempt of Court.
He May Be Released with Only n Rep
rimand-Interwiew With
Lady Who Knows
Where He Is.

Theodore Pinther, the Industrial army
agitator wanted for contempt OF court in
San Bernardino county, was located
yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Pourade of
that county and HERALD reporter. If
Pinther's friends who have kept him in
concealment are to be believed, he will
surrender himself this morning and
answer the charge in manly, straight
forward manner.
After Pinther sent the contemptuous
telegram to Judge Otis demanding the
release OF the Industrial army leader,
Vinette, and after his arrest and re-
lease under hsbess corpus proceedings,
he became alarmed at what he had done
and, to avoid arrest upon the new cita-
tion, went into hiding. 1t was rumored
that he had left the city, but the more
cool-headed OF the Industrials deprecated
the report with the statement that Pin
sher had not Intentionally committed
an offense, and would not attempt to
escape punishment for what he had
done. Pinther himself, upon his arrest
and examination in the habeas corpus
proceedings, made the declaration that
he was innocent of even so much as an
intimation OF bulldozing the judiciary OF
San Bernardino county; that, while ne
perchance was too hasty in sending
such telegram, there was no ill will
toward Vinette's prosecutors or the
court. The telegram was sent to show
that he was in full sympathy with the
imprisoned leader, and not for the pur-
pose OF intimidation. Upon this evil
dence and upon legal technically
Judge Van Dyke ordered his release.
Immediately after his release Pinther
was secreted 30 that. his co-workers say,
he might have time to deliberate with
the body OF lndustrials as to what
course would be best to pursue. He has
not visited his home at 923 South Main
street for four days, and Deputy Sheriff
Pourade, who has possession of the
amended warrant, has been constantly
searching for him. He secured clue
yesterday and found that Pinther had
decided to give himself up and face the
charge.
Pinther's whereabouts were known
by perhaps only two or three persons,
one OF whom 10 Mrs. Mary W. Alex, who
resides at 1704 South Grand avenue. In
company with a HERALD reporter
Deputy Pourade visited the lady yester-
day morning. She is prominent figure
in labor circles and is a well-versed,
fluent speaker. She regretted that such
steps had been made necessary, but
gave most confident assurances that
Mr.. Pinther would surrender himself
tnis morning. She knew his where
abouts and stated that he had been
almost ill from the effects of an ulcer
ated tooth. and was in no condition to
attend to his case.
II Pinther keeps his word he will go
to San Bernardino today with the off,
Ger and appear before Judge Otis. II
is thought by his friends that the court
will simply reprimand Pinther anc
allow him to go.

WESTLAKE PARK.

New Boathouse of This Delightful Re-
sort La Formally Opened.
The new boathouse at Westlake park
was formally opened yesterday, although
it still lacks some of the finishing
touches. 1t is an elegant building, the
design of Architect Hugh Todd. The
colonnades on the lake side rest upon
piles driven deep in the water. On the
lower floor are q number of seats it
will be wonderfully cool retreat during
the heat of the summer months. Up
stairs. under dome supported by pill
lars, is the music stand. Concerts were
inaugurated in it yesterday afternoon
by the Los Angeles military band with
q very we'll selected and artisticslly rem.
dered programme.
Westlake park ia delightful resort.
1t is not, properly speaking, park, but
a botanical garden, which under the in
telligent superintendent of Louis Le-
grand, one OF the best landscape gar
deners of the Pacific coast, is fast be-
coming unique. For years to come
shade must be insufficient, because the
hills OF the locality had absolutely no
native trees on them, and those that
have been planted since the grounds
were laid out are still small.
But what the gardens lack in grown
trees they make up in growing ones,
gathered from all continents and parts
Of the world. Among the collection are
date trees, palms and palmettos, yuccas
from Australia, Hawaii and the Mojave
desert, banana trees from Abyssinia and
Central America and cacti from Arizona.
To that family Of spiny plants large
part of the north side of the park has
been devoted, and here can be seen the
giant sahuaro, the spiny cholla and the
willowy tassjo, while mescal and century
plants are aleo abundant.
The cheeky blsckbirds walk unmo-
lssted through the grass, over ready to dis
pute the right of way against the larger
bipeds, the humming birds hover over
| the banks of flowers, the meadow lark
pipes his melodious if short songs on the
hills around the park, and one or two
mocking birds visit the grounds from
| time to time. 1t is the intention OF
Superintendent Legrand to have the
varieties of trees, shrubs and plants
labeled, as was done several years ago,
| W hich will have the affect of educating
| the people in vegetal lore.
Since it was first started Westlake
park has grown considerably in dimen-
sions, and the park com mssioners will
probably still extend it by adding to it q
part of the land lying between the lake
and Eighth street.

THE CRANDALL STORY.
The Reason Why Mrs. CrandaII Got
Divorce and Sues Now.

The Reason Why Mrs. CrandaII Got n
Divorce and Sues Now.
By the time that the examination of
Private Detective Emil Harris and
Matchmaker G. d. Platt comes up in
the federal court, the inside facts which
led to their arrest on the charge of hav-
ing unlawfully used the United States
mail for the purpose of bleeding E. E.
Crandall out of some $500, will have
pretty nearly become public property.
That the doings of Mr.. Crandall were
the subject of gossip and discussion be-
fore he caused the two mems arrest is a
matter of notoriety, which was probably
only unknown to himself and to the
woman whose name has been coupled
with his own.
The accused men have darkly limited
several times that Crandall's life would
be shown up and that the time was
near at hand when it should become a
matter of record. Harris claimed that
he had been retained by Mrs. Mary R.
Crandall to find out how her husband
had put in his time while she was away
from him.
Whether Mira. Crandall entirely de-
penned upon his discoveries to formu-
late the allegations of the two suits filed
on Saturday evening with the county
clerk by her is not certain, but it is evil
dent that they guided her to certain
extent, and 1t is not difficult to perceive
that Harris is now striking back at
Crandall, hard and rough.
The story told by Crandall's divorced
wife, Invested of its legal forms, 10 as
follows: She recites how he got her to
consent to go to Honolulu for her heal th,
promising to send her money for her
support. When he had got rid of her,
and had her in Queen Jiluokalani's do
mains, he closed his purse strings with
a clam-like snap, and she found hsrself
without resources. In order to return
home and investigate the reason of the
cutting off of legitimate supplies, she
had to appear as a supplicsnt before the
local agent OF the steamship company to
obtain her passage to San Francisco on
trust. Crandall's conduct then so dis
gusted her that she proceeded to Gin
cinnati and obtained divorce there
from him on the ground of desertion
and non-support.
Mrs. Crsndall alleges that when her
husband went into the hardware bust
ness on Main street, several years ago,
she gave him $4,000 OF her own funds
to invest in it for her, and that he has
ever since failed to account for these
moneys, although often requested to do
so, and that he still refuses to pay her
back. That ia the reason she sues him,
and while she is hopeful of obtaining q
judgment, the question of its being sat
isied is quite another affair. as she
thinks the $4,000 he obtained for his
stock have probably been placed in Sc
curity.
Mrs. Crandall AYERS that during hei
absence in the island kingdom Mrs
Clara D. Thompson succeeded in alien
ating the affection of the hardware man
and this she appraises at $4,000. l
was to suppress this story that Harris
and Platt are alleged to have demanded
hush-money from Crandall. To gel
even, it is said they will now have the
whole story come out in the courts,
with Crandsll and Mrs. Thompson al
defendants.

Young Peoples Missionary Conference.
The Young Peoples Missionary con-

First NJ E. church for the past two days
was concluded yesterday afternoon at 3
O'Clock with mass meeting. 1t was in
fact a union meeting of the Y. W. G. A.,
Y. M. @. A., Boys Brigade and the var
ious Christian Endesvor societies OF the
city. Rev. A. w. Rider conducted the
meeting, and Miss Kate Rider pre-
sided at the organ. Song service,
led by A. w. Hare, opened the
services, after which DR.. w. N. CLARK
OF Colgate university, New York. was
introduced. He spoke on The World'a
EvangelIzation in CHS Generation. His
text was David, after ne served our gen.
GRAFTON, by the will of God, fell asleep.
He stated that if this evangellzation was
to be accomplished it must be done by
this generation. 1t was better not to
discuss the details of this work, but to
believe that it would be done and leave
the details to God.
Christian endeavor meant the evan.
gelization OF the world. and if the Chris
tian Eadeavor societies that were being
trained for the work did not do it, their
professions as endeavorers were all a
mockery.
Mr. Rider next called for volunteer
remarks on the subject, and asked Mr.
G. B. Studd to speak first. The latter,
during his remarks, quoted Moody, and
said that entire conservation to Christ
was needed more than missionary en-
thusiasm in the work.
Several others made remarks, includ-
ing the venerable DR.. William Dean,
who is a returned missionary from
Siam after so years OF service in the land
Of the white elephant. He declared that
il the Lord SO directed he would gladly
embark in another SO years. service
among the heathens, and with as much,
If not more, vigor than he had under
taken the work at first. The benediction
was pronounced after short sentence
prayers by the congregation.

Engine Power From Liquid Fuel.
In a paper read before the Pacific
Coast Technical Society several weeks
ago. Admiral Jasper Henry Selwyn, q
retired British officer, made some sur
prising statements about the possibili-
ties Of engine power derived from liq-
uid fuel. Theoretically, he said, q
pound Of the best coal is equal to con-
verting sixteen pounds of water into
steam, but practically only half of this
effect is realized under the most favor
able conditions. But with petroleum
there was theoretical value of Fl, and
in practice he himself secured the eva
poration Of 1863 pounds of water to one

in front by wide revers and in the back
by big graceless sailor collar. The
fronts of the sleeves are of the braided
material and the back of the plain. But
it is in the skirt that ugliness reaches
its climax. A piece Of the braided cloth
is fitted closely about the hips, curvlDg
from depth of twenty inches in front
to ten in the back. 1t clings tightly TO

Value of Twin Screws.

The great value of twin screws, apart
from the increased speed which they
give, was shown in the case Of the
steamship Paris, belonging to the
American Navigation Company. Al
though the rudder Of the Paris was
broken she remained under control and
by the use Of her twin screws was turn
ed about and returned to port. Such ac-
cidents are relatively rare, but when
they occur it is usually in rough wealth
er, when steering gear is most needed.
The ships with twin screws have in
effect duplicate rudder, and are there
by rendered that much safer.-Jhiladel-
