PASADENA, Oct. 27.-At 10 a. m. to-
morrow Thomas Barker will have his
hearing before Justice Congdon. Barker
is the self-confessed chum of Ziegler
and is to be tried on the charge of COM
plicity in the burglary of the Los
Robes avenue station of the Santa Fe
in this city. Ziegler implicated Barker
in one of his numerous confessions and
the authorities of the railroad promptly
swore out warrant for his arrest.
Barker says that on the night Of the
Los Robes robbery he was in Los An
geles with a number of friends, and
that he will therefore be able to prove
an alibi readily enough. Ziegler told
Justice Congdon a short time ago that
Barker and he were members of the
same gang of burglars, that Barker
had obtained a job as dishwasher at
Hotel Maryland with the intention of
getting thoroughly acquainted with the
lay of the land inside and the possi-
bilities for obtaining rich plunder.
Then the gang was to descend on the
hotel and gather in the spoils. Barker
laughs at this story. At any rate Zieg-
Ter and he have had some disagree
ment.
Baptist Church Banquet
Four hundred members of the First
Baptist church sat down tonight to the
annual church supper and formally cele-
brated the raising of practically the
entire church debt. A year ago this
debt stood at $1,000 and was enough to
cool the ardor of the most enthusiastic
member. But within the past year Won
derful things have happened.
Under the leadership of it's new pas
tor, Rev Albert Thatcher Smith, every
department of church work has pros
pered and none more perhaps than the
financial. All trace of the dissention
which troubled the local organization
was swept away and it's final obsequies
were observed tonight The banquet
tables were spread in the dining room
of the church and following the banquet
came speeches by Dr. Smith, several
of the trustees and other men prom
lnent in church work. The occasion was
one of the most notable in the his
tory of the First Baptist church.
"Fatty" Again In Trouble
Little Fatty" Robinson is in the city
lookup, again. Yesterday he made
such an earnest plea for clemency that
the police court deciied to give the
lad one more chance before sending him
to the Juvenile court. But hardly had
the little negro boy arrived at home
before he began to devise new devil
ment. This morning he sold some rub
Der hose to a junk dealer A little
later he went to the same dealer with
a bicycle and a quantity of other arti
cles and offered them for sale. He is
alleged to have stole.I a number of
kerosene cans and concealed them in
a yard belonging to Policeman Bristol,
believing that the other boys would
not dare venture to take them from
him if hidden there. Officer Longley
arrested the boy, who readily confessed
that he had stolen the bicycle and
other things he had tried to sell. The
boy is considered incorrigible and will
be sent to Whittier.
