CANNOT LOCATE KELLEY
Police Search UnsuccessfuIIy for Man
Who Leaped From Second Story
to Avoid Arrest

Not the slightest clew has been OBJ
tanned as to the whereabouts of ]. B.
Kelley. who leaped from the second
story of the Congress hotel, COZ 1-2
North Main street, Tuesday afternoon,
to avoid arrest. 1t is believed by the
police that Kelley, with Harry Wilson
and Edmond Montgomery, are con-
nected with numerous burglaries in
the city.
Kelley, the police believe, learned of
the arrest of Wilson and Montgomery
and retired, for when Detectives Smith
and Dixon entered his room he was
in bed. After dressing, Kelley reached
for his hat and leaped through the
window. Detective Smith caught him
by the leg, but he kicked himself free
and fled.
In Kelley's room wes found money,
jewelry, dynamite caps and a first
class burglars outfit. Attempts to To-
cate the owners of the jewelry have
been unsuccessful.

SPACIOUS LAWN
MAZE OF BEAUTY
LIGHTS AND BLOSSOMS MAKE
GORGEOUS ARRAY
Entertainment in Aid of Santarum for
Consumptives Proves One of the
Greatest Social Successes
of the Season

In all Southern California there was
no more beautiful spot last evening
than "Miramar," the Santa Monica
home of Senator and Mrs John P.
Jones.
Hundreds of brilliant lights, of wo-
men an uncountable number, and of
blossoms a bewildering array.
Society in Los Angeles, Pasadena and
Santa Monica sent the fairest maids
and matrons, and the green houses of
all three places were unburdened of
their choicest blossoms, that the Mir
amar garden fete" might be a thing of
beauty and a joy for whole evening.
"Tennyson's Dream of air Women"
was the feature of the evening but even
Tennyson might have dreamed anew,
could he have seen the fete, for the
whole affair was a dream of fair wo-
men.
In every nook and corner there was
a booth offering something which could
not fail to loosen the purse strings of
the bachelors and husbands. Every
booth sheltered a bevy of pretty maids
and fascinating matrons who managed
to keep the purse strings united until
the last candy basket had seen the last
piece of candy disappear and the last
drop of lemonade had gone the way
of all such vands.
The affair which Miss Georgina Jones
first planned as a small garden party
will be remembered as one of the most
brilliant affairs of the kind ever given
in this part of the state.
society was so well represented that
the blue book man might have checked
off his lists from a seat near the ice
cream stand and in all the fascinating
crowd there was probably no one more
charming than the busy hostess.
And the best is yet to come. AS a
result of the affair many of the peo-
pie who cor--a to California sick and
dsheartened will find a spot at Oceano
where they may have a fighting chance
