THE HOBo's HABIT
A Philanthropist's Strange Experience
With q Hungry Man

W. c. Allen is only hobo, but in ad-
dition to his poverty he has the handi-
cap of not being able to stand prosper
lty. He stationed himself near the Van
Nuys hotel last night and when George
Morgan came along he recited the usual
tale of woe and hunger with, in this
instance, emphasis on the latter. Nor
gan did not know beggars as well then
as he does now, and he was so touched
by Aliens pitiful story that he took him
to a restaurant and gave him feed be-
ginning with Blue Points and ending
with Roquefort and coffee with all the
trimmings. Morgan felt better from
his charity and he hied himself to a
bootblack stand to get shine.
He was seated in a dark corner and
while the shine was in the process OF
development and completion he was
amazed to see his late companion at the
dinner, Allen. stop in front of the stand
and accost another man, telling him the
same story of want that had touched
Morgan's heart. Allen pleaded for only
one dime, but his new victim pro-
duced quarter and said he had NO
smeller change. To Morgan's amaze
ment the beggar seized the quarter and
then fished Is cents change out of his
pocket and handed it to the other man
Morgan did not wait for his shine. What
he said will never be known and perhaps
could not be published. What he did
was to hunt up Patrolman Davis and
have Allen 'pinched" for begging.

WHEELMEN COLLIDE
FATAL ACCIDENT AT THIRD AND
MAIN STREETS
s. w. Page Sustains Fractured Skull
in Collision-An Unknown
Wheelman the Cause

s. w. Page was killed and Herman
Glass was severely injured at Third and
Main streets early yesterday morning
by the collision of the bicycles which
they were riding, the accident being due
to the carelessness of neither of the men
but of third wheelman who is un-
known. Page was a salesman employed
in the delicacy department of Charles
Gassen's meat shop at Third and Spring
streets, and was So years Of age. His
home was at 1917 North Main street.
He leaves wife and two children. Glass
Is book binder in the employ Of Glass
Il Long and resides at 440 Wall street.
Shortly before o'clock Page left his
home awheel. He was few minutes
late and rode down Main street at
rapid pace. There were few teams on
the street at that hour and he had al
most a clear road. Glass was also late
and was riding up Main street, between
the car tracks, but not as fast as Page
was pushing his pedals. he was behind
another wheelman, taking his pace. KS
they neared the corner both Glass and
the man he was following reduced their
speed somewhat. The unknown wheel
man, as the intersection was reached,
turned suddenly to the left to go west
on Third street. Page was only a few
wheel lengths in front of him and COM
ing fast in the opposite direction. Page
saw the turn and made quick move to
the left to avoid it. 1t was evidently his
| intention to swing around the unknown
rider and pass between him and Glass,
as he had to go to Third and Spring
street. The sudden turn Of the man
ahead of Glass caused Glass to also turn
and Just as Page tried to cross the front
| of his wheel Glass front wheel struck
his mount. The impact was terrific and
both men were thrown violently to the
ground. Glass went over the handle
bars and fell upon his face and hands,
sustaining severe bruises.
Page was thrown diagonally over his
right handle bar and in falling struck
upon his head. He never moved after
he fell and the blood began gushing
from his ears and nostrils. The patrol
wagon was summoned and he was sent
to the receiving hospital where DIR. Ha-
gan examined his wounds. 1t was seen
at once that the man would die and the
physician could do nothing. After lin
gering unconscious for two hours he ex-
pired. The body was later removed to
Orr & Hines undertaking tablishment
| where the inquest will be held today.
Glass was assisted to his feet and
wanted to go to Pages assistance but
was unable to do so. He gave his name
and address to Patrolman Fay, who ar
rived within two minutes after the acci-
dent. He was allowed to go to his home
where he is now under the care of ply
| sician.
| Page was a member of the salvation
army and until recently conducted a
restaurant on Second street.

"THAT'S GOOD, SIR"
Battle Between Full Hands and Fists
in Poker Room

IN FOker Room
Mic Tardoni thinks he can play the
great American game of draw poker. or,
lat least, he thought so until last night.
Confident of his ability to break the
bank in any of the numerous cheap club
rooms, he went to the Arizona poker
rooms on Main street, near First, and
investing his all, 81, in chips, entered the
game. He won the first pot and then be-
gan plunging. Succeeding in bluffing
bob tailed flush through and winning an
ante only, he thought he was Hoyle
on poker. His luck continued and he
soon had large stack of whites, when
he caught king full pat. Of course,
he bet, especially as Jerry Beebee, who is
interested in the place and who dealt the
hand, drew three cards. Tardoni staked
his last chip, and then on Beebee's
raise, wanted to stake his clothes, but
he possession of them would have been
a liability instead of an asset, and Bee
bee SIMPLY called the last bet. An 'ace
full" beats king full'' any day in the
week, and that is what Beebee had
Then it occurred to Tardoni that he had
been "jobbed," and he accused the other
man, of cheating. The result was that
Tardoni was slugged and Beebee is in
the city Jail on charge of battery.
