BIC HAUL MADE
by HOLD-UP MEN
J. S. DONALD ROBBED OF $140
AND GOLD WATCH
BANDITS WORE NO MASKS
Victim Was Within Few Feet Of
His Home, 775 Ceres Avenue,
When Accosted by Armed
Highwaymen

One Of the boldest and most sue
cessful hold-ups that have taken place
in Los Angeles for long time occurred
shortly after midnight last night
when James S. Donald. who lives at
IT'S Ceres Avenue, was robbed Of a
gold watch and $14O in coin.
Donald was walking home and was
within q few feet Of his house, when
he was accosted by two men who
ordered him to give them what valu-
ables he had. One of the men kept
his gun pointed at Donald's face, while
the other, who also carried a gun,
went through his pockets.
Donald offered no resistance, but
permitted the highwaymen to take a
gold hunting case watch, heavy gold
watch chain and purse containing
two fifty dollar bills and forty dollars
in loose gold.
Donald reported the holdup to the
police shortly after it occurred and
gave an accurate description of both
men. He said ;hat neither of them
wore masks, which will make it an
easy matter for him to identify them
should they be arrested.

Call on Deneen
Unions Oppose Plan to
Bring Soldiers
Rioting Fierce and Many
Casualties Result
Mayor Dunno Declares That the City
Can Cope With Difficulty, and
Protests Against Calling
Out the Militia
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 3.-Rloting in the
streets today was SO prolonged and Of
so fierce character that many of the
leading business men have concluded
that there will be neither peace In the
city nor safety for outside interests
until the state militia has been called
out to restore order.
A committee Of members Of the En-
ployers' association left for Springfield
today to confer with Governor Deneen
and to request him to give orders to
the state troops. The labor unions
have an extensive lobby at the state
be heard before any action is taken
by the governor.
Chief of Police O'Neill says he is
confident that he has control of the sit
uation and can keep peace in the city.
Despite the orders of Mayor Dunno
and the prohibition of the city council,
many of the wagons of the concerns
against which strikes have been de-
clared were handled today by men
armed with rifles and shotguns.
The first rifle shot fired during the
strike went whizzing through
crowded thoroughfare today. The shot
was fired by a guard on a wagon of
the United States Express company,
while 1t was passing through a crowd
of strike sympathizers at the intersec-
| finn Of 70 Do ly,b 81
Shoots at Conductor
In driving past the corner the driver
of the wagon refined his horses sud-
denly. A guard within the wagon
poked his head instantly from the
wagon, and seeing a street car con-
ductor STOPPING as though to throw a
missile, pulled the trigger without the
slightest hesitation. No one was hit
and it developed later that the con-
ductor, who narrowly escaped death,
was intent on his legitimate work of
throwing a switch" The request of
the employers made today that the
police be allowed to ride on their wag-
ons was declined by the chief of police.
Positive orders were published that
under no circumstances must the off,
GERS mount the wagons. They must
march abreast of the wagons. The
order, Chief of Police O'Neill explained.
was simply intended to ward off criti-
cism.
One hundred and fifty wagons of the
seven express companies went to and
fro across the city today in many in
stances completely unguarded and at
no time under the supervision of more

ENORMOUS DAM AT ST. JOHNS
GIVES WAY
MANY PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS
Wall of Wate" Is Twenty Feet High
and a Mile Wide, and Is Rush
ing Down the 1-itte
Colorado

by Associated EreSs.
WINSLOW, Ariz., May S.-The dam
at St. Johns gave way at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. An immense
flood of water is now coming down
the Little Colorado river and is ex-
pected to reach Holbrook within q few
hours. The water is reported to be
twenty feet high and mile wide.
The dam was fifty feet high and
backed water for eight miles and a
mile wide to an average depth of twen-
ty-five feet. The water was used to
irrigate a large body of land.
A Mexican, while crossing ahead Of
the running water, was caught and
carried down the stream.
At Holbrook, a hundred miles north
of st. Johns, great excitement pre-
walls and it is feared that town will
be seriously damaged. Last night the
Santa Fe sent fifty freight cars there
and the merchants loaded their goods
into them and they were taken to
Aztec.
Every dam and every settlement be-
tween Holbrook and st. Johns will be
swept away and large number of
people will be made homeless
The breaking of the st. Johns dam
was caused by the breaking of the
one at Greers, forty miles south of
ST. Johns which, in it's turn, was
caused by rains and melting snow in
the mountains.

TOURISTS PAY
s2,250,000 FARE
PROFITABLE SEASON FOR THE
RAILWAYS
1440 TRAINS ARE REQUIRED
Traffic official Figures That Climate,
Roses and Sunshine Cost East
erners High in the
Millions

Twenty-Five thousand tourists. nine
ty-five per cent of whom either came
directly to Los Angeles or visited the
city at some time during their stay in
Southern California, is the conserva-
tive estimate by railway officials of the
tourist travel into this portion of the
state during the past five months.
The season does not virtually open until
after the holidays, so that by far the
larger portion Of this number came
since January 1.
Those who made the pilgrimage to-
ward the west with its sunshine and
flowers remained here from two to
eight weeks. What was the aggregate
sum spent by this army of pleasure
seekers can not be Appropriated with
any degree of correctness but it was
large.
What it cost them to come here and
return to their homes is not hard to
figure. One railway official taking
Chicago as an intermediate point that
the Individual transportation might be
figured and assuming that the aver
age round trip ticket cost $50, figures
s., $50 900 as what California sunshine
and roses has done for the railroads
this season.

'ALKS WITH SANTA FE AGENT

Should James r. Garfield of the
United States department of commerce
and labor wish to make an examination
of the books of the Santa Fe railroad at
its headquarters in Los Angeles in his
investigation Of the oil industry of the
state, he will meet with no opposition.
General Freight Agent W. G. Barn
well of the road said yesterday: 1.-The
Santa Fe has nothing to conceal and
we are ready to be of whatever as
sistance is possible to Mr.. Garfield III
his Investigations. Should he desire
to go over our records, they are at his
disposal.
"Mr. Garfield called at my office Mon
day afternoon and in casual way we
talked over the condition of the in
dustry in California and the shipping
facilities. No, he did not ask to have
his assistants examine our books. l
do not know whether or not he intends
doing so.
''I believe he intends to visit the diff
ferent fields in this part of the state,
to talk with shippers and gain their
views on the subject"
Assistant General Freight and Pas
senger Agent G. A. Parkyns of the
Southern Pacific when asked If he
had been interviewed by Mr.. Garfield
said that he had not.
II believe Mr.. Garfield gained what
information he wished from the general
offices of the Southern Pacific at San
Francisco in his investigation there -
said Mr.. Parkyns, "but we shall be
glad to cooperate with him here in Los
Angeles should he so DESIRE"

Many CoIonists

If colonists are taken into considera-
tion the number of visitors runs up con-
siderably over $4,000 and the aggre-
gate fare is correspondingly greater.
The same official figures it took 144o
trains to move visitors to California
and the same number, by the time the
season is over, to return them to their
homes.
Taking 81 as the cost Of a tourist
berth from Chicago and 81 returning,
it cost these tourists for a place to lay
their heads during the time they were
on trains the small item of $3.50, 1000.
Meals on dining cars and at restaur-
ants along the way, do not come for
nothing so here is another large outlay.
The tide of travel turned toward the
east April 1, and reached its greatest
height on or about April Is, when the
railroads were not able to accommo-
date all those seeking to return.
During the past week eastward
travel has been heavy but the decline
Of the season is at hand, say the rail-
road officials.

SAYS YOUNG HAD PISTOL
Sacramento Resident Claims to Have
Information Favorlnq Accused

SACRAMENTO, May 3.-A resident
Of Sacramento who declines to give
his name for publication says that
he knows that Caesar Young was the
owner of a pistol which he believes
to be the very weapon described in the
dispatches as that which caused
Young's death. The Sacramentan
says that he frequently saw the pis-
tol in Young's possession and that at
one time he borrowed it and took it
with him when going on a coon hunt
on the Haggin ranch near Sacramento.
Importance is attached to this state
ment from the fact that the prosecut-
ing attorney in New York is said to
have declared that if the defense could
prove that Young ever owned such a
pistol there would be no chance to
convict Nan Patterson on charge of
murder. Although declining to figure
in the newspapers the man who says
he saw the pistol could be reached
with a subpoena If needed as witness
in the event of another trial of the
Patterson woman.

FAILS To AGREE
ACCUSED WOMAN FAINTS

ANOTHER TRIAL IS UNLIKELY
II Is Reported That a Majority Are

ANOTHER TRIAL is UNLIKELY

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 4,-Having failed
to reach verdict and declaring that
they were hopelessly disagreed, the
jury in the Nan Patterson case was
formally discharged at 2:2O o'clock this
morning.
At 1880 o'clock this morning the jury
was called into the court room by
Recorder Goff. When the twelve men
were in their places and the court Off
cials had all arrived the recorder asked
why the defendant had not been
brought into court. A deputy sheriff
replied that she had been feeling i'll
and had retired, but was then being
dressed. After wait of twelve min
utes Miss Patterson arrived, looking
pale and in a highly nervous state.
Gentlemen, have you been able to
reach an agreement" asked the re-
corder of the jury.
mo. SIR" replied the foreman.
"Is there any question of law or evi-
dence in which 1 can instruct you? Is
there any way in which the court can
help you?"
The foreman looked for an instant
at his fellow members of the jury, then
turned to the recorder and said:
NO sir; I don't believe you can
help us"
"Then you will retire to reconsider
the matter"
Jury Reconsiders
The jury filed out and the court
room was cleared. Recorder Goff re-
NAMED in his chamber ready. to re-
ceive a verdict if rendered Or to fur
ther instruct the jury.
Miss Patterson collapsed on the
jury's announcement and tainted dead
away. She was assisted from the
courtroom by one of her counsel and
revived in the ante room.
On the second return of the jury
Recorder Golf made personal appeal
to the foreman to endeavor again TO
reach verdict. The foreman entered
the jury box and polled the jurors in
the open court, but they were not able
to agree The recorder then asked
point in law or something he could
do by which the jury might be able to
reach a verdict, but the jurors re-
mained steadfast and finally declared
their verdict disagreement.
Recorder Golf before dismissing the
jury cautioned them not to tell how
they stood. 1t is understood that
majority of the jury were for acquittal,
but in what proportion theysstood can
not be ascertained.
Future procedure in the case is un-
certain. 1t has been intimated by the
district attorneys office that the
people probably would not attempt an
other trial. Should this be the case
Miss Patterson would be released on
nominal bail or under her own recog-
nizance and the indictment eventually
be quashed.

WILL VACCINATE
CHILDREN FREE
BOARD OF EDUCATION WINS
VICTORY
SCHOOL PATRONS BENEFIT
Rule That Only Those Declaring
Themselves to Be Paupers Will
Be Treated by Health Board
Is Revoked

The board of education gained dis
tinct victory over the board of health
yesterday in regard to the vaccination
of school children by the city. Some
time ago the health commission made
ruling that none but the children of
paupers should be vaccinated by the
city free. Cards were printed and
issued to the teachers and associated
charities which were worded to the
effect that the bearers parents were
absolutely unable to pay for vaccina-
ton.
The board of education found it could
not enforce the rule thus made, as the
teachers refused to sign the cards, de-
claring that they were paid to teach
and not run commercial agency and
had no time to- investigate each ap-
plicant for vaccination.
The next vaccination day nearly 200
children were turned away from the
health office because they did not have
cards stating that they were paupers.
Plea for Children
The question was taken up at a
special meeting of the board of educa-
ton yesterday and Commissioner Quinn
was appointed to confer with the
board of health. Chairman Bicknell of
the board of education made a strong
statement, declaring: "The law forces
the child to go to school and If it at
tends school to be vaccinated. Now
what we want to do is to help the chill
dren Of poor but not pauper parents to
go to school," 1t was the apparent
declaration of the board that the rule
of the health department was arbitrary
and would not be enforced.
The question was discussed at length
before the health board last night and
Director Quinn made it plain to the
members present that the school de-
partment did not intend to subject the
pupils to any such treatment as max
ing them acknowledge themselves pau
pers when they were not in reality.
1t was finally decided to recall the
cards distributed and in their place
issue one to the principals of the vari-
Gus schools which should read: "The
bearer is entitled to free vaccination"
1t was further agreed that these cards
should be issued to all pupils asking for
them.
1t was thought that this method
would eliminate the Objectionable
features in any and all of lhe schemes
tried heretofore.
