AUTOGRAPH DOCUMENT IS
PRESENTED TO LIBRARY
is IN HANDWRITING OF ABRAHAM
LINCOLN
Complaint In Case Drawn by the First
Martyred President slxty-EIght
Years Ago Donated by Jesse w.
Weik, Bloerapher

A legal document in the handwriting
of Abraham Lincoln has been pre-
sented to the public library Of Los
Angeles by Jesse w. weik, the author
of a life Of Lincoln.
This precious document was formally
presented to the library board by letter
last night, and the board has written
to the donor expressing it's thanks.
The gift to the Los Angeles library was
made at the suggestion of Jerome
Allen, who has spent considerable time
i'm this city, and, while here, became
interested in the library.
The document is one of the first COM
plants ever written by Lincoln, and
bears the date of July 6. 1887. The
president of the United States was just
entering upon his career at the bar and
was at the time a member Of the law
firm Of Stuart e. Lincoln.
The complaint shows that Joshua T.
Speed. the plaintiff, was the client of
Lincoln, and the document was drawn
in Sangamon county, Ill Speed was
one of the first men of influence, ac-
cording to q communication from the
donor, who is Lincoln's biographer, to
recognize the worth and latent force Of
the huge and lanky backwoodsman.
The letter from the donor says that
the complaint was written the year
after Lincoln was admitted to the bar.
This document, while of necessity
bound to the phrases of the law, in
many places still shows the power Of
expression and command of English
which Abraham Lincoln possessed. The
board orderd the treasure appropriately
framed, in order that it might be pre-
served
The library commissioners also dis
cussed the plans for moving the library,
and decided to invite the councilmen to
meet them at dinner and discuss the
question Of providing library building
and whether to build or rent.
If the court decides that the city has
no right to erect a library in Central
park, an effort will be made to pur-
chase ground elsewhere on which to
erect the building. Several sites are
under consideration, should the court
so decide, and the library directors
hope to see the institution in building
of its own within a year or two.

saloon followers were parading the
streets.
"Pll admit that I was drinking a bit, -

prisoner when accused by the officer
who made the arrest of throwing his

POLICE DETECTIVES RAID
CHINESE LOTTERY DEN
Two Days Allotted Span Of Life for
Gambling Game on San
Pedro Street

Two days was the allotted span Of
life for a lottery conducted by George
Wing at 224 North san Pedro street,
and the end came without struggle at
$3.50 o'clock last evening, when the
Chinese proprietor was arrested by De-
tectives Boyd and Ingram.
The detectives, who are specially de-
tailed by Capt. Auble on lotteries and
blind pigs" declare they knew a Chi
nese lottery was in operation at 224
North San Pedro street half an hour
after the Chinese character signs and
peculiar lock were put on the door
Monday evening. Since that time they
have been trying to procure evidence
against the place by strategy.
Yesterday while Boyd held the atten-
tion of the lookout" in front Ingram
went to the rear door and was admitted
by George Wing. The officer said he
wanted to take a chance on the lottery
and purchased ticket from the China
man. Boyd went in few moments
later and also purchased a ticket and
informed Wing that he was under ar
rest.
The proprietor offered no resistance,
but bemoaned his hard luck, as he de-
clared he had been conducting his es-
tablishment but two days.

JUDGE THIEVES BY
THINGS THEY TAKE
DETECTIVES FIRST DETERMINE
. CHARACTER FOR CLEW
OFFICER CITES A LOCAL CASE
From Nature Of Robbery Near Pasa-
dena sIeuth Works on Theory
That Burglar is Tall and
Well Dressed

Can the character and temperament
of the much-feared burglar be judged
by the articles he purloins and the
manner in which he takes them?
Such Is the case, if the statement of
a detective long in the service and
trusted by his superior officers, is true.
Working on this theory, the detec-
tive is now searching every theater
in town to locate a tall, we'll dressed
burglar, who is alleged to have en-
tered the house Of Anton M. Aker-
mann, a mile west of the Raymond
hotel, a few afternoons ago.
No one saw the man enter or leave
positively that the burglar was tall;
first, because marks on the door where
he picked the lock are all above the
keyhole and none under it; and second,
because only the top drawers of the
dresser and sideboard in the house
were opened, while the bottom draw
ers were left shut. He was we'll
dressed, for no dusty footprints were
left on the carpet, indicating that his
boots were well cleaned and brushed,
linen which he had handled in looking
for valuables, showing that he had
completed his toilet before he entered
the house.
Is Artistic Burglar
Now ] will tell you why I am going
to look for this man in the theaters," ,"
said the detective. "IIe has shown me
his artistic temperament in the things
he has stolen, although 1 would not
say that this was his motive for
stealing.
"a fine pair of opera glasses was
the first thing stolen by the burglar,
because they sat on the mantel piece
nearest the door through which he en-
tered. This would not be sufficient
for me to state positively where 1
could find the burglar, but when 1
know that he also took from the house
an old-fashloned, open-faced watch,
more valuable for it's antiquity than
for the price it would bring, and a
pair OF nelu GLASSES, my lounudlloIl
for deduction is complete.
"Of course he needs money or he
would never have committed the burg
larry. and the first thing he did was
to pawn the field glasses. Now that
his pecuniary wants are satisfied for
a short time, he will begin to think
of pleasure and as he fondles the
stolen opera glasses, which are a beau
tiful piece of workmanship, the thea
ter will suggest itself to him at once.
II would be willing to wager half a
months salary that our artistic burg
lar is sitting in some theater tonight
enjoying the play through the stolen
opera glasses"
