THE NEW TOURIST HOTEL
Ringing Resolutions by the Chamber o
Commerce

Ringing Resolutions by the Chamber Of
Commerce
Upon the ground of public interest the
chamber of commerce, at q meeting held
yesterday afternoon, unanimously indorsed
the enterprise of building the proposed
Adams street tourist hotel. Though 1t is
contrary to the policy of that body to fos-
ter private enterprises an exception was
made in this case for the reason that the
project promises to supply public want.
The speeches made regarding the under.
taking evinced the warmest sympathy and
a deep interest was manifested by all pres
ent in the progress of the work. The reso-
lutions were introduced by General For
man and warmly seconded by Mr.. Slauson,
DR.. Davidson and others. Following are
the resolutions:
Whereas, This body, recognizing the
fact that hundreds of thousands of dollars
are annually spent in the tourist resorts OF
Southern California by eastern tourists,
and that, owing to lack OF adequate &C
class of visitors, this large sum OF money is
expended at hotels outside OF this city,
aud,
Whereas, 1t has come to the knowledge
of this body that a we'll organized effort
is now being made by committee of our
prominent citizens. headed by Major
klokke of this chamber, to supply the long
felt deficit in this city's required accesso-
ries, and that the effort thus put forth
seems likely to speedily achieve the sue
cessful accomplishment of its object, be it
therefore
Resolved, That the chamber of COM
merce of the city of Los Angeles hereby
heartily endorses the project and officially
lends the undivided force of its moral sup.
port, and bespeaks the aid of its members
in their private capacity for the further
ance of the ends and aims of the pro-
moters of this worthy public enterprise.

A CASE OF NERVE
Thompson, the Boy Burglar, Wants Pay for |
Repairing Stolen Watch

thompson, the Boy Burglar, wants Pay for
Repairing Stolen Watch
As showing the consummate gall and
precocity of the youthful burglar, George
Thompson, now awaiting trial for several
Offenses, the following tale is told. Most
of Thompson's thefts were committed in
Pasadena and Pomona, where he made
way with bicycles and jewelry wherever he
could lay hands OH them. One day a boy
stopped at the house of j. ID. Ross on
Prospect street, South Pasadena, and
asked Mr.. Ross for drink of water. This
was given, and Ross went to the barn for
some purpose. When he got back to the
house the boy had disappeared and with
him Mr.. Ross silver watch. The matter
reported at police headquarters, but
Tor some time nothing developed.
When Thompson was arrested he had
on his person Mr.. Ross watch. The
owner was notified and identified his prop.
erty. When the iimepiece was stolen the
handspring was broken. but when taken
from Thompson was ticking Off the hours.
in good style. Mr.. Ross was taken to the
county Jail to see if he could identify
Thorn ,son as the boy who called for a
drink, and Immediately did so, Thomp-
son glibiy confessed his crime and told
how, when Ross vent to the barn, he had
entered the house and abstracted the
watch. II had cost him Sl.5O in Pomona
to have new mainspring put in, and he
calmly inquired of Mr.. Ross, now that he
had recovered his property, if he would not
refund to him the money expended in re-
pairs. Thompson seems thoroughly hard
ened and is only one more instance of a
naturally bright boy coming to grief
through evil associates.

The preliminary examination of Elisha
L. Bennett for the murder of Fred Czarske
came to close yesterday, resulting in his
being held to answer without bail. The
testimony the evening before closed with
James Mcdowell OH the stand. Eugene j..
Mcdowell was the first to testify in the
morning and told the story of the tragedy
substantially as before recited. Mrs. Lo-
retta Czarske, widow Of the murdered man,
corrected some of her evidence as given at
the coroner's inquest. She stated that
af er Czarske and: Bennett had been sepa-
rated the latter did not Immediately rush
upon her husband, but stood near the wall
for minute or two before drawing his
knife.
Paul Hammer, one of the jaiers at the
city prison, recited the circumstances of
Benefits arrest by Detective Hawley and
himself. The knife was found in a bureau
drawer, but Bennett admitted having car
ried it the night before. Deputy District

day afternoon. The misdemeanor COM
plant against Joe ID. Biddle was dismissed
and defendant discharged. Lizzie Turner
and Josie Smith, two Migrants, got float
ers of sixty and 100 days respectively.
Nine cases were in the dock for drunken
ness, and all received from SIS to IS fines,
except Henry Miller. His being an aggra-
waited case was assessed $40 or twenty

day. Hing Lee, who sold lottery tickets,
had his case set for March 18th, and All

A large portion of the afternoon was oc-
cupied in the rehearing of one of the Rice

eress was this time the defendant. The
case resolved itself into technical
wrangle over the fact whether the new Or

was arrested on the evening of its publica-
ton, legally went into effect until twenty
four hours had elapsed from the first copy

ROBBED HIS WIFE
A Bride of Four Days Deserted by Her Illus
iald-TOok Her Money

IaTd-iOok her Money
G. S. Moore yesterday applied to the dis
trict attorney for q complaint against
Sherry O'Deara on a charge of robbery.
The case is a peculiar one. Three or TO ur
days ago O'Deara married Moore's sister.
The young woman at the time had $2S5,
which she had sewed up in her skirt lining
Tuesday night, when the couple retired,
Mrs. O'Deara put the skirt containing her
money under her pillow. Some time dur
ing the night or early morning O'Deara
managed to get the skirt from under his
wifes pillow and ripping open the lining
distracted the money and made his escape.
Yesterday morning when Mrs. O'Deara
awoke she discovered the robbery. As
O'Deara was not to be found, she took
council with her brother, and, after some
inquiry it was found that O'Deara had left
OH the Santa Fe morning train for the
east. Under Sheriff Clements had but
twenty minutes in which to cut off O'Deara
at Barstow, and a telegram was sent
Deputy Sheriff Asa Green to look out for
him. Fortunately there was no detention,
and when the train pulled into Barstow,
Green was waiting for his man. Mr..
Clements was notified of his capture and
the recovery of the money, and Deputy
Sheriff Charles Fleming left last evening to
bring him back.

THE TALBOT is H0ODOOED
Has Not Yet Reached San Francisco With
Her Cargo

Has Not Yet Reached San Francisco With
Her Cargo
Nothing has as yet been heard at the oil
exchange as to the whereabouts of the
tank vessel, Enoch Talbot now due in San
Francisco with her initial cargo of oil for
that market 1t was expected that she
would arrive sometime during the night, or
at least be sighted off the Farallones.
When the Talbot has discharged her cargo
she will 20 into dry dock to have the extent
of the injuries Inflicted upon her in the
recent storm ascertained, after which, if
found seaworthy. she will Immediately re.
turn for another load. The Talbot seems
to have a "hoodco" hanging over her as at
first she could not take aboard her full
complement of oil on account of drawing
too much water to cross the bar at San
Pedro.
Next she started north, but was not fairly
under way when storm of great violence
was encountered and, after three days of
peril, she managed to anchor off San Pedro
badly damaged above and below. Fixed
up temporarily she was to go to the wharf
at Port Los Angeles TO take on board the
balance of her cargo, but was becalmed
for two more days and was finally towed
out and. with fair wind started. Making
fair progress she has been due in San
Francisco for two days, but has not yet
been heard from. IL ehe is found sound
when placed on drydock for examination,
she will at once be put in the water again
as there is now more than enough oil on
hand in the exchange tanks to reload her.
All teams possible are being used TO haul
the product from the field and the total
capacity of all is some 200 barrels per day.
The capacity OF the tank wagons runs from
121a to 25 barrels, only one of the largest
size being now in use. Seven new wells
are now going down in the district and
the new Foster hole is expected to start a
flow every day. The sand has been reached
and the drill is working in oil. The North
we'll No. 2, which was recently cleaned out,
is pumping over fifty barrels day, but is
decreasing and will again be cleared of
debris. Mr.. North has just secured several
leases on oil property and as soon as final
papers are signed will erect rigs and com
mence to bore.
Every day shows perceptible falling off
in the oil production and the 81 mark seems
certain of attainment in the near future. The
Santa Rosa mine, which has been placed
in the hands of II receiver, has been started
up with petroleum as fuel and will be
worked to it's full capacity to pay off its
debts. Settlements will be made every
fifteen DAYS.
