THROWN AGAINST CURB
WITH FATAL RESULTS
RUNAWAY PROVES DISASTROUS
FOR A GRocERYMAN
Driver of Delivery Wagon CoIldes
With Chinese Pedder and sustains
a Fractured SkuI-Dies in
Hospital

E. F. Spangenberg, employed at
Bishop &S Co.'S factory on East Seventh
street, was killed in a runaway acci-
dent yesterday morning at East Third
street and Central avenue.
The young man was driving a de-
livery wagon and when near the corner
of Third and Central avenue collided
with the wagon of a Chinese peddler.
Spangenberg was thrown out, his
head striking against the curb, causing
q fracture.
He died shortly after the accident at
the Los Angeles hospital on South Hill
street.
Spangepberg was 20 years old and
recently came to Los Angeles from
Savannah, Ga.
The young man roomed on Central
avenue and had no relatives in this
section as far as is known. An effort
will be made to communicate with his
friends in Savannah before any dis
position is made of the body, now in an
undertaker's morgue awaiting an in
quest.
The Chinese who was driving the
team which caused the collision would
have been roughly handled by the
crowd which collected about the victim
of the accident but for the arrival of a
policeman. 1t was ascertained that the
Chinese peddler was not responsible
for the collision that resulted in Span
genbergS death.

The litigation over the widening Of

benefited by the Improvement.
The plan to widen Hill street from

ment, claimed damage to their property
and took their cases to court. Major
e. F. C. Klokke, julius H. Martin and
Thomas N Garfield were appointed
referees to assess the damage and their
work was just completed yesterday.

BEGIN -RUSADE AGAINST
JEWELRY AUCTI0NEERS
POLICE MAKE ARRESTS UNDER
THE STATE LAW
Four Men Locked Up Will Retain
Counsel and the Issues Will Be
Settled in the Courts-Auctioneers
Profess Astonishment

The police have begun a crusade
against auctioneers of 'phoney' jeWclry
and four alleged jewelry statesmen were
arrested yesterday afternoon and ar
raigned in Justice Austin's court, hail
being fixed at $500 in each case.
The men arrested were S. Fisher, $50
West Fifth street; NJ. Marin 532 South
Main street; j. Holman and j. Gram
well, 144 West Fifth street, and l.,
Streiffer, South Main street.
Patrolman Ditzen made the arrests
under the state law requiring auction
eers to put up a bond of $4,000 with the
county clerk.
The auctloneers professed much
astonishment at their arrest and threat
ened dire things against the police for
disturbing their business.
The officers say that these men have
been holding fake" auctions and that
they have sold jewelry that was not
as represented.
They are alleged to have employed
"cappers" to aid in the bidding and
when the successful bidder got the ar
tice on which he bid, it is said that
oftentimes an inferior article was sub
stituted.
M. Marin, who runs a small place on
South Main street, was arrested by
Patrolman Roy Allen last week, but
no complaint was issued as the prose-
cutting attorney thought that a charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses could not be maintained.
Other cases could not be pressed under
a violation of the city ordinances as
the auctioneers had city licenses, but
City Prosecutor Beebe and his assistant,
Mr.. Eddie, believe that the complaints
under the state law will prove eff
fective.
The four men We're locked up in Jail
until their bail could be secured, and
afterward released on $500 bonds. Each
will retain a lawyer and will fight
the cases.
If convictions can be obtained in
these four cases, it is thought that
fake" auctions will be suspended IN
various small stores on West Fifth,
South Spring and Main Streets

CARDIAC ASTHMA KILLS
OCCIDENTAL VICTIM
DEATH OF HIGGINS DUE TO
NATURAL CAUSES
Two Members of the Club Who Had
Trouble With Decedent Have
Been Forced Out of the organiza-
ton as a Result

An autopsy on the body of Victor G.
Higgins, alleged to have died from in
juries received at the Occidental club
where he was employed as a porter,
showed that the mans death resulted
from cardiac asthma.
About a month ago two members of
the club assaulted Higgins and in
hicted severe injuries, but death was
from natural causes, according to the
autopsy. The man died at the Dea-
coness hospital Tuesday and some of
his friends believed that the beating he
had received at the Occidental club
had caused his death. Investigations
yesterday disproved this theory, ac-
cording to Coroner Trout.
The two members of the club who
We're said to have given Higgins a
severe beating We're Henry Johnson
and e. kaufman. After the affair be-
came known their designations were re-
ouested by the club management.
Kuhlman is said to be a prize fighter
who goes by the name of Edward Toy,
and it is stated that he admitted to the
club manager, Walter j. Way, that he
had struck Higgins on the night in
question. johnson said that he was
standing near to Higgins but he did
not strike him.
Although the autopsy showed that
the club attendant died from natural
causes his friends still think that the
brutal assault hastened his death, as
he had consumption and heart trouble.
Higgins came to Los Angeles from
Bar Harbor, Me. the first of last year.
Defends the Club
Walter ]. Way. secretary of the club,
expressed his regreat at the incident.
mo one regrets this matter more
than l." said Mr.. Way. Here are 400
members of the club and scarcely a
half dozen We're aware of the fact that
any trouble whatever had arisen until
this morning.
1.-The few blows which struck Mr..
Higgins had absolutely nothing what
ever to do with his death. On the
morning after the incident with the
two men Higgins walked to my home
at 400 West Ninth street. He showed
me a spraiined thumb which had re-
suited when he guarded himself.
This was the only injury sustained
by him and he hardly referred to any
blows that he received during the
trouble. Higgins came from Maine
about a year ago and had been in the
employ of the Occidental club as
night watchman or porter. He came
west for his health and suffered from
a complication of heart trouble, asthma
and tuberculosis"
