PLUM SPIRITED
Report That Well, Fargo G. Co. and
the Pacific Express Company
Are Warning for Want
age Points

There is lively contest on between
influences controlling Wells-Fargo &,
Co. and the Pacific Express company
for the handsome plum that is to go
with the contract to be let by the new
Salt Lake road.
1t is said President Hartman of the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific, who
is large stockholder in the Salt Lake,
is partial to Wells-Fargo & Co., while
Senator Clark, as head of the new line,
has no entanglements.
The Pacific Express already has the
business of the eastern end of the Salt
Lake road, while Wells-Fargo & Co.
are handling the affairs at this end.
Whichever way the contract goes there
will be a decided fight.
It is understood that the Western
Union has signed a long term contract
with the Clark line. The bidding was
spirited between that corporation and
the Postal. it is said, but the former
finally won out

WOMAN MISSING,
POLICE AID ASKED
MISS MARY WHITE HAS
DISAPPEARED
Gears Are Expressed That She May
Have Become Demented and
Wandered About the
City

Alarmed over her absence from her
of Mary White, a young woman 27
years old, who resides with her aunt
at 1880 East Pico street. went to the
police station yesterday afternoon to
ask the officers to aid them in a search
for the missing woman.
Miss White was last seen when she
left a friend, Miss May Carroll, at
Fifteenth and Main streets about
O'Clock Wednesday night. At the time
Miss White said she was going home,
as she felt i'll.

POLICE LOOKING
FOR THIRD MAN
HOLD-UP IN FROST BUILDING
CLEVERLY PLANNED
Developments In the Case Lead the
Officers to Suspect Presence of
Another Bandit in Fridays
Daring Robbery

Although the pair of masked bandits
who took over $10O from money lender
Thomas in the latters office in the
Frost building Friday night did not
secure great amount of booty for
the risks they incurred, the detectives
on the local force are bending unusual
efforts to effect the capture of the
daring robbers. The fact that the rob-
berry was one of the boldest and most
audaciously planned that has ever oc-
Cured in Los Angeles has awakened
the officers to the seriousness of their
undertaking, and no stone will be left
unturned until the thieves are cap
tured and lodged behind the bars
When the case was first looked over
it appeared as though the two men
who entered Thomas Office were the
the affair, and the police spent all
their time I'm looking for a pair an
swering their description. Now it is
asserted that the men with the re-
volvers were only the. tools of a more
clever crook, and simply executed the
plans formed by another.
The third man is the one who is now
being sought for most. If he is found
it is argued that the location of the
men with the masks will be a simple
problem. Those who are following the
case contend that when the ringleader
is once in custody he will divulge the
identity of his companions in crime and
that their capture will be an easy task.
Yesterday the police spent consider
able time in arresting suspicious look
ing characters and taking them to the
detectives office for examination. With
but one or two exceptions those ar
isfaction of their questioners their
whereabouts at the time the robbery
occurred, and were released from Gus
tody. The ones who were held will
be taken before one of the victims
of the affair, Lent, and an effort will
be made to identity them.
Lent, the man who received such a
terrible beating from one of the masked
bandits when he refused to hold up his
hands, is in an improved condition and
hopes are expressed for his speedy re-
covery. The wound I'm his head, which
was caused by one of the robbers
striking him With the butt end of
heavy revolver, is healing as we'll as
can be expected, while the left ear.
which was injured in the same way, has
already ceased to be of much trouble
Interesting developments in the case
at any minute are promised by the
police. The authorities refuse to di-
vulge the clew which will lead to the
detection of the guilty parties. but af-
firm that it will be a matter of but a
few hours before the trio who executed
one OF the boldest robberies in Los
Angeles history will be behind the
bars with evidence enough against
them to convict

FIRE VICTIMS IN
NEED OF SHELTER
APARTMENT HOUSE BURNED;
TENANTS SUFFER
One Person Severely Injured and the
Property Of Many Others Lost
In Blaze on Wall
Street

Thrown upon the city without a cent
with which to buy their suppers, their
scant supply Of furniture and house
hold necessities, which they had col
lected by dint of hard labor, swept
away by fire, four families in a board
ing house at 766 Maple avenue spent
the night In the open or in the homes
Of their friends last night, while one of
the occupants was cared for at the
Sisters hospital
The fire started shortly before noon
In a small frame dwelling at 76G
Maple avenue The house was owned
by II. Berry of SIG Wall street and
was tenanted by five families, each
with a small set of apartments.
Henry Balgenorth, 81 years of age,
picture framer, occupied a small
room in the front Of the house. He
was preparing his dinner over a small
coal oil stove when the oil exploded
showering the fiery contents of the
skillet in his face and wrapping him
in flames. He was horribly burned
and the injuries on his face, head, arms
snd body were treated az the receiving
hospital by Police Surgeons Quint and
Ronynge before he was sent to the
Sisters hospital He may live but from
the amount of surface covered by the
burns his recovery is doubtful.
In nearby room Mrs. Mary Scan
lon, widow, and her four children
were fighting against hunger and one
of the little girls was at work in an
effort to help out in the meager living
Of the little family. A small stock of
furniture and household goods were in
the room and were swept away by the
flames What shall I do? What shall
/ do?" walled the widow as she con-
templated the ruins of all she owned in
the world, while her three children
gathered around her and gazed with
frightened eyes at the destruction of
their mothers belongings. One little
girl was absent and did not return
until late in the evening when she
learned of the destruction. Two of the
children were cared for during the
night while the widow and her son and
daughter occupied the ruins.
Their suffering was pitiable and char
liable people are said to be starting
a fund for their temporary relief.
The belongings of Miss Lizzie Mac
beth, a music teacher, were also burned,
while water or fire destroyed the prop
erty of Henry Balgenorth, Mrs. T.
Donley and Charles Tucker.
The Tucker family, consisting of the
father, mother and two children, was
also in straits for a place of shelter
for the night. The mother has been
i'll for some time, while Tucker. ce-
ment worker, has had a hard time
caring for his family.
The damage to the furnishing of the
house was almost total, while about
$1,000 will cover the damage on the
building

COMMISSION TURNS
DOWN PETITIONERS
Property Owners on kohIer Street
Protest Against Boiler
Installation

Property owners at Ninth and Koh-
Ter streets, who protested against the
granting of a permit to the Southern
California Hardwood and Manufacture
ing company for the installation of
two new boilers at its plant, were
turned down by the fire commissioners
yesterday.
1.-The sooner you people sell out to
this company and move, the better it
will be for you," advised Commissioner
Betouski, and he expressed the senti-
ment of the board.
The Rev. c. B. Ebey, representing
the property owners, replied to Betou-
ski, saying:
1--WE presumed that we would have
to meet the owners. We did not ex-
pect to find this commission turned
into real estate agents to advise us
what to do with our property. We
had supposed this commission was to
protect"
II. j. Hampton, who lives next door
to the plant of the Hardwood and
Manufacturing company, said his
house had been set on fire three times
by sparks from the engines and that
recently some clothing had been burned
that was hanging on wire in the
back yard.
After refusing In one breath to grant
the request of the property owners on
Ninth and Kohler streets. the COM
mission in the next breath revoked a
permit granted February II to e. P.
Weber to operate gasoline engine at
Central avenue and Clanton street.
Weber said he had invested $4,000, all
the money he has, in his place and ex-
planned that the revocation of his per-
nit would ruin him

MISSOURrS NEW
SENATOR ELECT
MAJOR WARNER A MAN OF
WARM CONVICTIONS
Strong Personality Calculated to
Make an lndelibIe impression on
His Colleagues In the
Senate
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 25.-Ma-
jor William Warner, Missourrs senator
elect. is a man of such marked person
aity that he would be conspicuous in
any gathering Of men. 1t Is not in his
stature, for he is below the medium
in height, but there is the undeniable
stamp of strong nature in the rugged
lines of his face; the open, large and
keenly penetrating eyes that seem to
pierce false armor and look upon death
and danger in any form with no sign of
fear. When he speaks his voice Is
large, round and full. When he is an
cry. the roar of the famed bull of Ba-
shan becomes as al gentle summer
zephyr in comparison. Major Warner,
as an orator, will be an ornament to
the senate chamber, and 1t is probable
that that staid old resting place never
has seen a more varied or interesting
assortment of gestures than Major
Warner will present upon the occasion
of his first speech, after he has warmed
up to his subject.
Like all men of strong character, Ma
jor Warner is intensely in earnest. He
is man of convictions. He never does
things by halves. His friendship is as en-
during as the hills. Naturally a man
of such characteristics would not move
across the street to avoid meeting an
enemy. A popularity of Major War
ner is that he never combs his hair.
Or it may be that he combs it, but,
partaking of its owners marked self
assertiveness, it refuses to stay combed.
Usually it stands straight up in front
and reaches out to catch the breeze
at the sides below the hat line. When
Major Warner shakes hands one is apt
to unfold his own crumpled digits after
the operation and wonder when the ma
jor quit the blacksmithing business.
His greeting is full of good cheer and
he sticks to the old-fashioned saluta-
ton: How are you? L am glad to
know you" Somehow or other the i'm
preston fingers with you that he
means it, too. Sincerity sticks out all
over Major Warner, as though he had
patented the word.
= His First Start
81 think it was in 1866 the Repub-
licans carried the city election and Ma
jor Warner got his start in public, life,"
said ]. V. c. Karnes.
He was elected city attorney and
made a good record. Two years later
he was elected circuit attorney of the
circuit comprising the counties of jack
son, Saline and Lafayette. Next came
his election as mayor of Kansas City
and from then on everybody knows how
he has ever been before the public eye,
always ready to do something for his
state and city,

It used to be considered that only urinary
and bladder troubles were to be traced to the
Kidneys but now modern science proves that
nearly all diseases have their beginning in
the disorder OF these most important organs.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or
out of order. you can understand how quickly
your entire body is affected, and how every
organ seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or feel badly" begin taking

There is such pleasant taste to Swamp-Root, and
It right to the spot and drives disease out OF
the system. II has cured me, making me stronger
and better In every way, and 1 cheerfully recom-
mend IT to all sufferers.
Gratefully yours,
Mrs a. L. Walker 33l e. Linden St. Atlanta. Ga.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and If permitted
to continue much suffering and fatal results
are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates
the nerves. makes you dizzy, restless, seepless
and irritable Makes you pass water often
during the day and oblges you to get up many
times during the night. Unhealthy kidneys
cause rheumatism gravel, catarrh of the blad-
der, pain or dull ache in the back, joints and
muscles; make your head ache and back ache,
cause indigestion, stomach and liver trouble,
you get a sallow, yellow complexion, make you
feel as though you had heart trouble; you
may have plenty of ambition, but no strength

How to Find Out

If there is any doubt in your mind as to your
condition, take from your urine rising about
four ounces, place 1t in glass or bottle and let
It stand twenty-four hours. If on examination
1t is milky cloudy, if there is brick-dust
settling, or If small particles float about in it,
your kidneys are in need of immediate atten-
