SEEKING
SNEAK THIEVES
OFFICERS THlNH. ORGANIZED
GANG Is AT WORK
Many BureIaries OF Minor Value Are
Reported From Various
Parts of the
CITY

Police detectives are searching for a
gang of men who have been perpe-
trating small hold-ups and burglaries
ir various parts of the city for the past
few days. All these burglaries bear
loss to determine whether the crimes
are the work of some organized gang
or simply the work of the many loafers
and hangers on who follow the races all
over the country.
HON Coy, who was one of the vic
Tins of the gang, was held up and
robbed on Alameda street, late Friday
night by two masked men. HON was
on his way home after a social evening
with friends when suddenly two men
stepped from the shadows at the side
or the street and pointed revolvers at
him. Before he could cry out, one of
the robbers caught him by his loose
celestial clothing and turned him
around. They then searched him, talk
ing all his money, about 81. The
frightened Chinaman reported his ex-
perence to officer Butler of the
Chinatown squad
Burglars broke into the office of the
Hummel Brothers & Co., employment
agency at 116 East Second street, Fri
day night. The intruders sawed off
the hinges of an iron safe, but found
nothing in it, They then opened the
cash register and searched the drawer.
Failing to find anything of value, they
mutilated the register and left.
C. w. Endel of 5O2 North Alameda
street reported the burglary of his
room yesterday morning. Burglars
gained entrance by entering an adja-
cent room, which was vacant, and then
breaking in the connecting door and
slipping the lock. They took $35 from
a drawer in the room and left without
touching other articles of value.
Police have been asked to apprehend
sneak thief who is engaged in rob-
bing peddlers' and delivery wagons in
various parts of the city. Several
complaints have been made by drivers
that sneaks have plundered their
wagons while they We're at work and
detectives have been detailed on the
case.
Burglars or sneak thieves secured $24O
from trunk belonging to Albert
Stale, former chef at the Lankershim
hotel, one day last week. Stale, who
was saving his money, had secreted it
i'm the bosom of shirt which he kept
in his trunk. The trunk was kept in
his room at 942 South Main street.

will they find some loophole by which
they can comply with the new rule and
still continue their business in the
reform workers and police officers who
have been detailed to see that the new
orders of the commission meet with
prompt attention.
Yesterday was the first day of the
new order, and it was an April fools

course, VIC won very frequently if the

BITTER FIGHT ON
MEDICAL LAWS
PHYSICIAN OF "ELECTRlCAL"
SCHOOL ON TRIAL
Case Resolves Itself Into a Test Of
the Power of Examiners to Conn.,
pei Such Healers to Take
Out Licenses

Electricians, medical practitioners ana
lawyers from all parts of Southern
California crowded Justice Roses court
room yesterday to listen to the trial
of H. S. Hollingsworth of 2O2h Soutn
Broadway, charged with practicing
medicine without a license.
The case was a test to determine
whether the state board of medical eX-
aminers could convict a man practic-
ing electrical treatment, and fund
for the defense was raised by cleo
trical practitioners in all parts of the
southern section of the state.
Detectives Nick Harris and William
Shand appeared for the prosecution.
Shand testified that he had gone to the
office of Hollingsworth and asked FOR
examination. 1t is alleged that Hol-
lingsworth examined him and then
treated him for bronchitis and other
diseases, administering electricity and
pills.
Prominent legal talent of Los Ange-
the firm of Rush, Davis, Jones e Will
lis appeared in behalf of Hollingsworth; ;
George Beebe, city prosecuting attor-
ney, in behalf of the people, and At
torney Wallace w. Wideman, special
attorney for the state board of medical
examiners, conducted the prosecution.
The case was completed yesterday
morning, and the arguments COM
menced.
Attorney Wideman opened the argu-
ments with a description of the case.
Many practitioners were in the court
room, and offered their assistance to the
defending lawyers, but were astounded
at Attorney Widemans knowledge of
medicine and his authorities were in
disputable.
Jud Rush followed for the defense
and commenced with 1.-The knowledge
of medicine shown by the attorney for
the prosecution staggers me-" He
criticised the restrictions of the medi-
cal law, and asserted that with the
present law not only all the employees
of bath and massage houses would be
compelled to take medical degrees, but
even the motorman of street railways
would have to have a Doctors certifi-
cate before being allowed to apply cleo
tricity.
Attorney Beebe followed with a bril-
liant argument for the prosecution and
the jury retired. They failed TO agree
at a late hour, and. with eight men
for acquittal and four for conviction,
the jury was dismissed and the trial
reset for tomorrow.
