THINK HOLDUPS
HAVE ESCAPED
OFFICERS LOSE HOPE OF CAP
TURING MEN
Police Inclined to Blame Railway Of
fclals Who Failed to Notify
Then and Suppressed
Information

Little hope remains in the police de-
partment and among the sherffs' off,
GERS of connecting the gang of crooks
that was known to have planned a
triple jewelry robbery and n burglary
OF the large sub postal stations in Los
Angeles with the two bandits who
robbed passengers on the Pasadena
short line" car near the city limits
Sunday night
Though there is positive evidence that
the highwaymen are members of the
gang which came from the east. all
efforts to connect the gangs have failed.
NO clews to the whereabouts of the
car robbers remain. After exhausting
efforts the county and city officers have
traced every bit of ground and have
found nothing. They now rely on the
efforts of outside officers to bring about
the capture of the criminals.
III feeling against the street car COM
pany still exists among the officers.
1t is known that Capt. Flammer and
his men in the detective department
knew nothing of the circumstances of
the case for many hours, with the ex-
ception of the slight information given
by DIR. q. Wilcox. attached to the Sis
ters' hospital staff, who, at the risk of
being shot, leaped from the moving
car to notify the officers.
Deputy Sheriff Franklin, with his
force of deputies, has labored day and
night. That they have secured no re-
suits the police who are generally will
ing to criticise county officers, believe
in due to the tardy information. IF
the car company had only Informed us
of the men and given US their descrlp-
ton" is the expression general among
the Los Angeles officers.
Now that the Los Angeles authorities
have secured all information possible
at this late date. descriptions of the
men have flooded the country. An
effort will be made to locate the men
by all the officers in surrounding towns.
The circumstances of the tardy inform
alton have been explained to them and
extraordinary efforts are being made
by them.

RODE BRONCO 1000 MILES
Kansas Cowboy Made Trip in Nine-
teen Days and Into Fathers
Office on Steed
Special to the Herald.


CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-After riding
distance of 1000 miles on a bronco
pony from ranch near Iuka, Kan,
Edgar M. Dunnebecke, 19 years old, did
not abandon his western style when
he reached the home of his father,
Ferdinand Dunnebecke, in Melrose
park, the other morning. Attired as a
typical cowboy, with a revolver and
lariat strapped to his belt, he rode
into the real estate office of his father
astride the pony on which he had
made the journey. During his journey
he was twice attacked by thugs, but
both times he escaped violence, as he
oVerawed them with his revolvers. His
ride was spectacular all the way
through and he declared that he will
return in the same way shortly after
the holidays.
In his journey he crossed three states,
Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. He was
delayed in Kansas for a day near
Hutchinson, where a bridge was being
constructed for a railway company,
and he had to go around another route
a distance of fifty miles before he could
continue on his Journey. Dunnebecke
is a giant in build and made the trip
III exactly 10 days, making a little
over fifty miles a day. His bronco pony,
Bibby, was awarded to him as a prize
in a rifle shooting contest among
cattle punchers and cowboys of Iuka.
Two miles outside the city limits of
Hutchinson, Kan, he was attacked by
two gypsies, who attempted to rob him.
He exchanged several shots with them
and whipping his pony into a gallop
he escaped them. He had an encounter
with horse thieves near Kansas City,

Tell Humorous "reminiscences

Both Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Forsyth said
yesterday afternoon that they are anX-
ious to get located and get business
established again. They will hold a
conference with the owners Of the
building this afternoon when it will be
decided what will be done with the
charred structure.
Many of the guests who were driven
from their rooms by the fire have taken
quarters at the Broadway hotel. They
told many incidents of the fire last
night, and some of them were quite
humorous. One of the tales they told
was about Jew and his wife who were
suddenly awakened in their room on
the fourth floor. The man ran out into
the hall while his wife remained to put
on some of her clothing.
Come on Winnie" he cried.
His wife told him that she would
come as soon as she had donned some
OF her clothes. Turning to the elevator
boy he said:
Take me down. Take me down."
Don't you want to wait for your
wife?" queried the operator of the
elevator.
"Take me down." cried the Jew, land
1 will come back and get her."
The boy did not see the affair this
way and made the man wait until his
wife was ready to accompany them.

ZI0N'S QUEER WEDDING RULE
Prospective Bridegrooms Must Have
Apostles rmission-Authorltie
in Dowie's Town Keep Record
Special 10 the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-The queerest
applications for marriage licenses come
from Zion City, according to the at
taches of the county clerks office at
Waukegan.
Not long ago a young man presented
wedding invitation at the clerks Of
flee. Across the face of the invitation
was written the words, "By permission
of the First APOSTLE" No marriages in
Zion take place until the powers that
be have passed on them and signed the
permission "in ink" When the candi-
dates for nuptial ties apply for the IL
cense they come bringing the permis-
sion with them.
The authorities at Zion City have a
perfect system i'm keeping track of mar
riages, births and deaths. The county
court authorities say that 1t is elabo-
rate as that prescribed by the law for
county offices.
Zion City sends down to Waukegan
a good proportion of its marriage busi-
ness, but none OF the ceremonies is
performed outside OF the lines of Dow
les town. 1t is claimed that large
proportion of the zionites who seek
marriage licenses are beyond the aver
age age. More middle-aged people, and
even old people, apply for licenses than
from any other section.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 26-Linburger
| cheese is to be placed under legal re-
strictions.
1t is not to be allowed a place in the
same ice box with butter, milk and
other food products susceptible to
strong odors. That is the provision in
an ordinance to regulate ice boxes and
refrigerators, introduced in the upper
house of the council last night.
The ordinance, it is asserted, Is not
due particularly to any aldermanic
aversion to limburger. In fact some of
them have at various times ben sus-
pected of a prediction for that kind
of cheese in connection with Dutch
lunch. But they like 1t "straight"-as
they do their butter and milk. They do
not want a mingling of odors.
The ordinance was introduced in the
name of Alderman e. S. Jewett. He
said he was requested to introduce 1t
by DR.. W. p. Cutler, city meat inspect
or. 1t gives that officer power to COM
pei dealers in food products to keep
their refrigerators clean and provide
separate storage for products that may
be tainted by other contents Of the ice
boxes.
Specifically the ordinance requires
that all ice boxes and refrigerators
used for storing meat sold to the pub
lie shall, at all times, be kept clean
and in sanitary condition No person
shall place limburger cheese or other
strong smelling cheese or substance. or
any milk or butter in any ice box or
refrigerator used to store meat which
is to be sold to the public. The ordi-
nance is to be enforced by the officers
of the board of health and the penalty
for violation is a fine not to exceed

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26.-Just
about dusk last evening the telephone
bell in police headquarters in the CITY
hall tinkled insistently. Lieut.. Keyser
answered it himself.
"Oh, help me! I'm locked in this
room. OH" gasped a sweet feminine
voice.
Where? where?" demanded the
lieutenant: The musical voice was
fainter this time:
In the Estey building on the fifth
floor. Please come and get mel" it said,
ending in a little Shrek.
Lieut.. Keyser picked out the fastest
runner on the reserve force, No. 22, and
dispatched him with all speed to 112O
Chestnut street
The elevator in the Estey building
was in charge of a little, old gray
haired woman. She looked quizzically
at the big reserve cop when he puffed
i'll.
Where's the woman what's locked in
a room?" he demanded.
What are you talking about?" said
the elevator woman.
When No. % had finished explaining
there was excitement in the building
There were gathered about him two
Watchmen, two porters, seven scrub
women and an innumerable company
of office boys, each one of whom was
Just sure he knew which room it was.
The party divided into two squads. and
led by the watchmen, who had skeleton
keys, they searched every room on the
fifth floor without finding any fainting
woman clutching to a telephone re-
ceiver.
Then they went about the other floors
shouting at loudest voice:
Where's the woman that's locked in
the room?" No replies We're heard and
then the fourth and third floors were
searched.
For some of the rooms on the top
floor there were no keys that would fit,
and the mystery, if there be one, in the
Estey building is still locked in one of
those unused offices.

JANGLING SERENADE A CRIME
Fined Five Dollars Each and
Rebuke
Special to The Herald.

ALTOONA, Pa, Dec. 26.-"Such dis
cordant sounds on the still night air
would be sufficient provocation for the
most peaceably inclined citizen to raise
the window and open fire upon you,"
said Magistrate Duncan to five pris-
oners who had just sung before him in
court as an object lesson. 'I feel that
your alleged 'serenade' deserves a
strong rebuke and I sentence you to
pay fines of $5 each"
The five young Romeos before him
were Edward Smith, Howard Friday
John Williams, Elwood Moran and
Joseph Smith. They had serenaded,
with vociferous vocal selections, the
lady love of one of the party, for which
offense, styled in the statutes 'disor-
derly conduct" they were arrested.
Unable to see in such gallantry any
thing disorderly the five demanded trial
before Police Magistrate Banks Dun
can, who invited the object lesson above
referred to, frowned his disapproval,
and fined the discordant singers.

was stricken with his fatal disease
Rear Admiral Schley likewise was dis

Gen. Macarthur received the tribute

Keep
Your Nerve

1t is nerve energy that runs
the organs Of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and Spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; if
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe-
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with DR.. Miles Nervine.
It assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
