A MASKED HIGHWAYMAN
lie Tries TO Rob Second Street
Electric Car
Conductor Hazen Fired Three Shots at the
Fellow, Who Made His Escape
but Got No Booty

An attempt was made last night TO rob
an electric car on the Second street di-
vision, but the robber was frightened
away before he secured any booty. 1t
was car No. 4, west bound with Ed Wood
as motornan and r. l.. Hazen as con-
ductor. There were five ladies seated on
the Inside and two men standing on the
rear platform. The car was going along
First street and had Just gone into the
big cut that is at the foot Of the hill from
Bunker Hill avenue, and was approach
ing Ohio street. The conductor had sig
naled to stop he car at the crossing.
when Just few feet from Ohio street q
masked man jumped from behind a tele
graph pole and leveling revolver at the
head OF the motorneer ordered him to
stop the car. Instead of obeying, how
ever, Wood turned the lever wide open,
intending to run the car past the fellow.
The latter jumped upon the front plat
fo,m and walked through the Car to the
rear, where Hazen stood. and commanded
him to 'shell OUT
The conductor grabbed the pistol, al
though it was pointing against his
stomach. The robber evidently weak
ened at this resistance and started to
jump from the rapidly moving car. Hazen
stayed with Elm though and the two
jumped together. The conductor fell
upon the ground and rolled over several
times, while the robber kept his feet and
started to run. AS soon as Hazen recov-
cred his equilibrium he pulled out his re-
volver and fired three shots at the fleen 6
man, but without hitting him.
The run WAS made without any further
trouble and the matter was reported at
the police station. Mr.. Hazen was una
BILE to give an accurate description OF the
man. He wore, however, a long white
mask covering his head and shoulders,
with holes cut for the eyes. He was about
5 feet inches in height and from his
manner was thought to be boy about
10 or 20 years of age. Officer Cochran was
on the scene shorely after it happened,
but no trace of the man could be found.

men in a chorus as an acquaintance
limped up to them on La Sale street the

a strip of court-plaster over his eye and
two front teeth missing.
''Yes, trying to catch car" replied
the cripple.
"You always were reckless about get

OF the corwd.
'Oh. this did not happen that way, "
was the pensive answer.
"How was it?' again in chorus.

Deputy Constable Mugnemi Has Trouble
With Prisoner
Deputy Constable Mugnemi had hard
tussle with big prisoner last night, but
pluckily stayed with him and booked
the man at the police station.
Mr.. Mugnemi was standing on Alameda
street when he saw man knock the

against a woman's head. The woman
came out on the sidewalk and told the
fellow to go along, but instead of COM
plying he began kicking her. She picked
up stool and struck him on the side of
the face. The officer then came up and
ordered the fellow to move along, and
as he would not, then placed him under
arrest. The man resisted and made a
big struggle to escape. and by this time
a large crowd had gathered, and some
endeavored to assist him from the
clutches of the officer.
Finally the latter drew his revolver
and compelled the man to accompany
him up to Main street, where he was put
IN the patrol wagon. At the station he
gave the name OF James Stelker. Two
charges were enterbd against him, one ol

SUGAR TALK CONCLUDES
Semmes of New Orleans Has the
Last Word
He naintains That the Comptroller Has No
Jurisdiction-OnIy the Courts
Can Decide

WASHINGTON, August i0.-Thei hear
ing before Comtropller Bowler on the
constitutionality of our sugar bounty law
was concluded today. Thomas j. Sem
mes Of New Orleans presented a care
fully prepared legal argument. contend
ing first that If centuriels of construction
of constitution by congress is binding on
courst, then the power to tax for bounty
for a particular industry is no longer an
open question; second, this course OF
legislation, with the acquiescence of the
people, is as old as the nation itself, ana
has been sanctioned by both dierct and
indirect bounties.
Mr.. Semmer said that the propositions
outlined had been laid down by the at
torney-general in the test Of the validity
OF the Mckinley law. and he defended
them as correoct. Mr.. Semmer quoted
many precedents in which congress had
granted bounties and made appropria-
tions for purposes other than those spe-
officially enumerated. He said congress
had exercised this prerogative under
the general welfare clause OF the consti-
tuition, and its right had never been
questioned until the district court OF
appeals delivered its recent opinion. He
declared this court to be only territorial
one and not a constitutional court, and
he said such matters as the bestowal of
bounties or other gratuitles congress was
the keepet of the conscience of the peo-
pie. No court could properly sit upon
the disposition of the people to do equity
OF charity. He contenjed that if con-
| gress had the power to d 10 equity, the pre-
| rogative was one which should not bt
| limited except by the people at the ballot
| box.
Mr.. Sernmer held that the comptroller
had no jurisdiction to deciue the claim.
Only the Judiciary could declare the
law unconstitutional: not that the exec
utive officer had that power In matter oi
appropriations congress was supreme.

SANTA ANA, Aug. 10.-The Iowa pic.

train another good crowd went down.
The day was perfect and all seemed bent
on having good time. The assem- blage
gathered at the pavilion at O'Clock.

Rev. D. Carton delivered an address Of
welcome and was interrupted by repeated
applause. Rev. Gregory, Mr.. McCord Of
Des Moines, Iowa, MIR. Hockett and
others spoke, giving some Of their exper.
fences in Iowa in the early days. None
of the speakers could forget Iowa, but
loved Southern California more.

GENTLEMEN: Responding to
the toast "THE SHIRT" calls to
mind funny little incident in
the life of Carl Schurtz. When
President Hayes appointed
Schurtz secretary Of the interior
in 1877 it was jokingly re-
marked that Hayes had seven
men in his cabinet, seven with
Schurtz and six without.
| believe if men only realized
how much comfort and pleas
ure, and even family peace, is
promoted by buying a thor
oughly reliable, we'll made shirt,
there would be only one brand
of shirts in demand. A man is
physically and morally better
man if his shirt fits; then, again,
your coat won't fit if your
shirt don't can conscien-
tiously recommend the Standard
Shirt as being without doubt
the best fitting shirt we have
today. Some people try to be-
little Standard Shirts because
they are made In California. I
believe that is a point in their
favor. There is no reason why
a California girl can't do as fine
work as her sister over the
mountains. What helps Cali
fornia helps you, and the fact
that hundreds of families are
sustained by the Standard Shirt
Factory being located in this
great state should also be in its
favor. Then, again, the Stand
ard Shirt, though reasonable in
price, is distinctly a HIGH
GRADE SHIRT, It is made in
Silk, Silk Mixtures, Percale,
Madras, Linen, etc., from the
finest materials obtainable. The
manufacturers also control the
output of the Stockton Woolen
Mills, and manufacture a supe-
rior quality of California Flan-
mel Shirts. | am informed
by Mr.. Sherwood, the Fur
nisher, through whose efforts
the name STANDARD Shirts" has
become quite familiar to all of
you, that in any case where a
shirt does not fit perfectly, and
is not satisfactory in every way,
he will take it back and cheer
fully refund the purchasers
money. That's pretty fair, isn't
it? Now, in conclusion, those
native shirts come in all sizes
and all sleeve lengths, and the
price-well, that's the only
cheap thing about them. And
now, gentlemen, propose three
