INCENDlARISM is SUSPECTED
Owner of Bakery in Which a Fire
Occurred Sunday Will Be
Arrested

Application has been made for war;
rant for the arrest of Earle Wilde,
owner of the bakery at Ninth and Wall
streets, in which fire was discovered
Sunday by o. G. Payne, who has a
grocery in the same neighborhood
1t is believed by the police that Wilde
may have set fire to his place. What
reason he could have had for so doing
is not known, but it is supposed by
some that the act was committed in
the hope of securing the amount Of
money for which his shop is thought to
have been insured
The bakery is surrounded by bust
ness places, and lodging rooms are
above it. Had the fire gained head
way it is probable that much prop
erty and even lives would have been
lost.
The firemen who answered the alarm
sent in by Mr., Payne say there were
many indications of incendiarsm Cam
dies had been arranged so that they
would drop into a pile of oiled rags
after partly burning, which in turn
would melt lead pipe nearby leading
to a gas meter, with the result that the
gas would have become ignited.
Wilde returned from the mountains
yesterday where he had been since Sum
day, and Capt Flammer OF the detect
ives said he would be arrested imme-
diately.

WOMAN ROBBED
WHILE AT CLUB
FASHIONABLE ORGANIZATION is
WROUGHT UP
Thefts Have Continued During the
Past Year and Several Menu
bers Now Are Under Sus-
picion

Money and valuabes have been dis
appearing at almost every meeting OF a
certain fashionable woman's club OF
the West Adams district since the club
was first formed.
Mystery surrounds the whole affair,
and, while there are certain members
upon whom suspicion rests, no one IS
brave enough to make an open alle-
cation. Nearly every member of the
club has lost an article of value at
some of the meetings.
The women composing the member
ship of the club are all from the best
and wealthiest families of the city, and
there seems to be no reason why any or
them should be tempted to steal, unless
there is truth in the belief held by some
that a kleptomaniac is among them.
Actions Considered Peculiar
One of the women has directed sus-
picion to herself by her peculiar ac-
tions at the club meetings, which are
held at the homes of the members.
This woman invariably excuses herself
from the luncheon table, or while the
rest of the members are engaged In
some amusement, to enter the room
where the wraps are placed. Nearly
every stolen article is found TO nave
disappeared from this room, and, while
no evidence against the woman in ques-
tion has been discovered, her actions
are thought to be very extraordinary.
Prompted by the increased number OF
losses, 1t was agreed upon that one Of
the women was to remain behind
screen in the room, to spy upon the
suspected person. This was done some
weeks ago, but the woman did not
make her usual appearance, and the
members of the club were left as much
in the dark as before. Whether the
woman had a confederate who informed
her of the intended detection that was
to be made is a question that is now
perplexing the club.
The story of the mysterious thefts
has been kept secret by the club mem
bers for the past year, during which
time nearly every weekly meeting has
marked the disappearance of valuables
or money from the clothes or purses OF
the club members
Publicity of the matter has been care
fully avoided, in order to avert dis
agreeable scandal, and therefore 1t is
not probable that any action will be
taken toward prosecution of the guilty
party, If she is ever found, unless some
feminine Sherlock Holmes makes her.

the islands, the big steamer became
grounded on reef and she is there
yet, doomed to destruction. All on
board, including Mr.. and Mrs. Mossin
of Los Angeles. were safely landed by
means of boats, but the passengers
were compelled to walk for several
miles over the mountains before they
reached shelter and comfort.

that reef" said Mr. Parish yesterday.
I'VE were lucky in escaping without
injury. Mr.. and Mrs. Mossin will go
