WOMAN HELD UP;
MERCHANT ROBBED
NEGRO BANDIT GETS LARGE
SUM FROM VICTIM
Highwaymen, Working in Different
Parts of the City, Hold UP Two
edestrians-PoIce Hunt
ing for Negro

Another robbery in the series of
hold-ups which have been enacted in
Los Angeles during the past few weeks
occurred about 8 o'clock last night.
when Miss Carrie B. Conger was held
up by a lone highwayman within a
few rods of her home at 146 Wilmer
street.
The robber secured but 1925, as that
was all the money Miss Conger had
with her.
The robbery occurred while Miss
Conger was proceeding from the car
line to her home. The street along
which the woman had to pass is ex-
ceedingly dark there being no lights
in the vicinity A tall cypress hedge
adds to the gloom.
Miss Conger says that just before she
reached the hedge she noticed man
coming toward her. but as there, was
nothing suspicious about his looks she
proceeded on her way.
When he came opposite her the high
wayman grasped Miss Conger by the
wrist and demanded her money. In
reply the young woman told him to
take 1t and extended her purse.
The robber, who was evidently an
amateur, seized the purse and in his
anxiety dropped 1t. He picked 1t up
Immediately and made off down the
dark street.
Miss Conger proceeded to her home
and reported the hold-up to the po-
lice. on account of the dark spot in
which the incident occurred the young
woman was unable to furnish de-
scription of her assailant. Detective
Roberts was detailed on the case.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 27.-The gall
leries and lobbies of the senate were
crowded this morning In anticipation
Of the debate on the recommendation of
the special investigation committee
that Senators Emmons, Bunkers,
Wright and French be expelled from
the senate for. receiving bribes. Mrs.
Emmons left the bedside of her hus-
band at the hospital to be present in
the senate when the report came up.
She sat at her husbands desk.
In bringing up the question of the
expulsion of the senators, President
Anderson said: THE next subject on
the file for consideration is the re-
port of the special committee on in
vestigation of charges against certain
senator's"
Before the name of Senator Wright
could be presented he took the floor
to say:
'Tnasmuch as am not able to argue
my own case l ask that my counsel
be given fifteen minutes to make a
statement for me-"
Attorney T. v. Gator was then al
lowed to make final plea for Wright
before the senate. He declared
that no evidence had been ad-
duced to show that Wright was guilty.
Just before the roll was called on
the expulsion of Wright. he again stood
at his desk to intercede In his own be-
half. President Anderson told Wright
that he was out of order, but there was
nothing to prevent the senate from
granting him the request Wright
was allowed to proceed and with highly
dramatic effect said:
Swears He Js Innocent
How you can vote for expulsion
without giving me hearing L cannot
comprehend. contend that there is
not one iota of testimony against me
except that offered by Jordan. This
man Jordan admitted he lied and it is.
now possible that he may still have the
money and is still lying.
Should not the statement of your
fellow senator that he is absolutely
innocent be taken rather than that
of self-confessed perjurer?
II swear before God that 1 am abso-
lutely innocent of this charge. If a
man is to be thrown out on such
flimsy case as has been presented
against me then no man in this senate
or in the United States is safe"
Wright, who was trembling and pale,
then denounced the newspapers of the
state, saying that they had prejudiced
the public against the accused sena-
tors.

this country in San Domingo today.

Mr.. German predicted that the big
16000-ton battleships in ten years
would be as obsolete as the Texas
Mr. Blackburn said the battleships'
fighting qualities have not been es-
tablished. Japanese destruction of the
Russian navy had not been accom-
plished with battleships. Japan had
but four. Russia had fourteen, and
where are they now?"
Defends Administration
Mr.. Lodge defended the policy of the
United States in Santo Domingo. The
attitude of the United States in Santo
Domingo was due to the fact that the
United States was invited to do what it
had done there, and to the fact that
Santo Domingo and Hayti were at our
doors.
"We have" he said CONDEMNED the
island to the position in which it is
now in, by shutting other nations out
and must assume the responsibility"
Mr.. Lodge said that he did not de-
sire any more annexations to the
southwark.
Mr.. Perkins defended the battleship
as the unit of power in the navy and
urged congress to follow the advice of
the naval experts in dealing with the
navy.
Mr.. Teller said if the United States
was to become a collector we would
need a navy twice as large as that we
now have.

OF the proposed battleships was voted

BAR HIGH HEELS
/. AND HEAVY SKIRTS
EBELL CLUB ALSO PUTS BAN
ON TIGHT C0RSETS
"Lighter Clothes and Not So Much
Lacing Would Improve Their
Health" Says Mrs.
Burdette

High heels have been tabooed by the
home makers section of the Ebell club.
Heavy skirts have been relegated to
the resting place of antiquities, and
nothing but loose corsets will be toll
Grated.
CLOTHES" was the subject discussed
by the home makers section of the
Ebell yesterday afternoon, which con-
vened before the regular session.
Mrs. Robert j. Burdette was in
charge of the discussion and she was
assisted by Mrs. Florence Collins
Porter.
Women are beginning to be more
sensible about their dress" said Mrs.
Burdette. '"They are beginning to re-
alize ,sJg mach more sensible it is to
wear lightweight skirts instead of the
heavy ones which were worn only a
short time ago. 1 believe that women
will always wear light skirts in the
future and they show common sense in
doing so.'
Mrs. Burdette was interrupted at this
point by woman who said that she
did not believe it was common sense
at all. 1T is just fashion," she de-
clared, land as soon as the fashion
changes again the common sense will
have no part"
Clothing Too Warm
"a woman should consider her health
above all things" continued Mrs. Bur-
dette. 1.-The tendency of people is to
wear clothing which is much too
warm
A story was told by one of the mem
man regarding his scanty clothing.
The weather was cold and the white
man was bundled up in woolens, while
the Indian, who was scantily dressed.
appeared to be comfortable. You must
be cold" he said. Your face cold?"
asked the Indian. me all face"
Lighter petticoats and fewer of them,
no woolens and no high heels were other
things brought out as necessary aids
to health, and although corsets were
not entirely tabooed, the leaders d.
rected that they be worn loosely.
Loose enough to take out hatpin
and put in hairpin," advised Mrs.
Burdette.
lndorse No Saloon Movement
Following the meeting of the home
makers section the regular session
convened and Mrs. Lou V. Chaplin
conducted class in current events.
The no saloon campaign was discussed
at some length and the advisability
of abolishing the saloon as well as the
methods which are being used by the
campaigners were taken up. The gen.
eral sentiment was in favor of the
Ascot park was also spoken
of as an evil which should be abolished
as soon as possible.
A petition was circulated among the
club members, which will be presented
to the council asking that the garbage
be collected between the hours of 10
p. m. and A a. m The club members
contend that the garbage is allowed to
stand and the result is apt to be
dangerous to the health of the city.

been some Quarreling fo two or three
days and Arnold went to the depot
looking for ShOuse. a few words were
exchanged. and Shouse grabbed an ak

Denver today and the streets tonight
presented an animated appearance.
Col. A J. WOOdside, chairman Of the

THE GERMAN CHOLERA
An Assurance That IL will not Be-
come an Epidemic.

Berlin. Sept. 1.-Forty-t three cases Of
cholera i'm all have been reported. Nine
persons have died from the disease
and many suspicious cases are un-
der observation. The legal and medi-
cal machinery for dealing with this
invasion of the Asiatic bacillus is now
working at full pressure.
Prof. Edward Sonncnberg said to the
Associated Press tonight that no one
need fear an epidemic such as that
of 1928 because the health author
tiles since that time had built up an
organization quite adequate to grasp
the beginnings of cholera and to put
down the disease with precision and
firmness.
The health machinery to which Prof.
Sonnenberg alluded is working in con-
junction with tie police and other pub
lie services. With the exception of one
death at Hamburg, the cholera is con-
fined to the West Prussian districts,
and every case of illness in these dis
tricts must be Immediately reported TO
the authorities. An experienced ply
sician and bacteriolOgist at once takes
the case under observation and if the
symptoms are suspicious the person is
promptly isolated.

A PORTLAND DOCK FIRE
The Estimated Loss is a Third OF a
HilIiOn.

Portland. Ore, Sept. with a gale
blowing at the rate of thirty miles an
hour. from the east, fire today, start
ing about noon, destroyed the dock OF
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company and the Pacific Coast EIe-
vator company's warehouse in lower
Albina The wind carried the flames
across the Willamette river to the dry
kiln of the Eastern & Western Lumber
company, on the west side, which was
also burned.
Previously. a fire at st. Johns. a
suburb of this city, one and one-half
miles down the river, below the de-
stroyed docks, had destroyed the plant
of the st. Johns Lumber company, the
Oregon Fir company's mill and the
wood yards of the Peninsula Wood
company.
A hundred freight cars on the Oregon
& Western tracks in lower Albina
caught fire and twenty-five of them
were completely destroyed. including
their loads of wheat, lumber and mis-
.cellaneous freight.
The total loss will approximate more
than :25O,OOO
The amount of the insurance is not
known at present, but IT is estimated
tnat it will cover good proportion of
the loss.
The fire. which was famed by a
strong wind. consumed the docks in
less than half an hour 1t then jumped
the river, which is a third OF a mile
wide at that point. to the lumber
yards of the Eastern & Western Lum-
Der company. At . p. m. the fire was
creeping northward along the water
front and threatening the Oceanic dock
which lies about $50 yards from the
elevator docks. The water front for d
distance of 1900 feet has been swept
away. Sixty thousand bushels OF
wheat have been destroyed.
The loss is given out by the compa-
nies' officers as follows: Pacific Coast
Elevator company, elevator, dock and
20, 900 bushels of wheat, s150,000; Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation company,
Albina dock and 10000 bushels OF

kio and St. Petersburg. BY Tuesday

Komura expect to receive final author
ity to affix their signatures. Mr.. Den
nison and De Martens met this after
noon. The conditions of the armistice
rather than a complete suspension of
hostilities marking the conclusion of
the war, were arranged except the
minor details by the plenipOtentiaries
here.
Technically, a cessation of hostilities
was arranged instead of an armistice,
inasmuch as it was temporary pending
the final exchange of ratificatiOns. 1t
did not provide for the ultimate re-
lease of the prisoners. The article COW
ering the latter will be included later.
The signing Of the treaty will be as
quiet and unostentatiouS as possible.

FULWILER HELD OVER
A Pathetic Incident in the Course Of
His Examination.

The examination of AL Fulwiler,
charged with rolling" Ben Torrey in
a rear room of the Owl saloon on Mon
day night. took place before Justice
Burnett yesterday, the examination
having been adjourned from the day
before on account Of the intoxication
of TOrrey. He was sober yesterday.
He said that after having had a $40
gold piece changed at the bar and af-
ter spending about a half dollar ne
went into a back room and lay down.
He said that Fulwiler entered and
took $40 out of his pocket. Just at that
time other persons in the front of the
saloon, knowing of his condition, were
coming in to take his money and put
it behind the bar for safekeeping. They
could find only a little more than SO.
When they asked nim what he had
done with the rest he recalled that
Fulwiler had been feeling in his pock-
cts. He accordingly accused him of the
theft. Fulwiler denied it, but when he
was searched, after saying that ne had
only so cents about him, SO was found.
Torrey said he struck at Fulwiler, who
ran out into the alley and made his es-
cape. The testimony of the other wit
nesses was corroborative of this state
ment. on this showing, FuIwiler was
held to the grand jury in the sum OF
$500. Late last night the bond had not
been furnished.
There was a pathetic incident in the
course of the preliminary examination.
Fulwiler's wife was in the courtroom.
and while the relation of her husband s
crime was going on she fell upon the
floor in a faint She was carried into
an adjoining room, where she shortly
after revived.
