WOMAN REsISTS BOLD THIEF
In Midst of Shoppers Crush Silk
Hated Japanese
Works

Athletic training received in the Chi
cago Womans Athletic club enabled
Mrs. Wallace Franklin to resist the
attack of a Japanese diamond nipper
who attempted to rob her of dia-
mond set in ring.
Friday morning between Third and
Fourth streets on Broadway, Mrs.
Franklin was caught in a crush of
shoppers seeking the elusive bargain.
and while she was attempting to escape
from the crowd the thief made the
bold attempt upon the diamond.
AS the man bent over her hand try
ing to wrench the jewel from its set
ting, Mrs. Franklin uppercut him on
the point of the jaw with her right
hand and sent him sprawling into the
gutter.
1t is thought that the Japanese Is
the same man who has stolen the
Jewels of several women in much the
same manner.
His description as given to the police
is that of a seemingly eminently re-
spectacle man, as he had silk hat
and was we'll dressed.

story building at Thirty-ninth and
Eureka streets.
The lower floor was occupied by a
grocery store and the family lived up
stairs.
A little before o'clock D. e. Koontz
was reused by the frantic barking OF
the family pet which slept in the store,
and hastily arising he found that the
lower portion of the building was in
flames. With some difficulty the fam
lily managed to escape but the dog re-
manned at his post and persisted.
A valuable Angora cat leaped from
the second-story window and alighted
on the ground in safety.
The fire department had difficulty
in reaching the burning building, owing
to short hose, but finally managed to
subdue the flames with loss of about
$500.
Accompanied by a patrolman Mr..
Koontz entered the store after the em-
bers had sufficiently cooled and dis
covered that the cash drawer was open
and about IS in loose change was miss
ing.
The fire originated near large box
filled with matches and the police be-
believe that burglars set the fire after
looting the cash drawer.
The dog was confined in a back
room and was probably first aroused
by hearing somebody moving about the
store and gave the alarm which saved
his masters family, although he could
not escape himself.

RET|RES
WITH SPURS ON
NO LONGER Is HE ASSISTANT
CITY ATTORNEY
Lays Down Law to City Council In
Advising That River Bed Franz
chlse Should Be
Sold

Herbert ]. Goudge yesterday dropped
the title of assistant city attorney
which he has worn for the last five
years and three months, and in future
the doings of the city council will
trouble him no more for he will have
nothing to do with the city's legal af-
fairs.
He resigned from his position to be-
come a member of the law firm of
Cochran, Williams. Goudge, Baker &
Chandler. This firm will care for the
legal business of the Pacific Mutual
Life Insurance company, formerly the
Conservative Life.
Mr.. Goudge was the first assistant
to City Attorney Mathews and with
his retirement Second Assistant Leslie
r. Hewitt will step into his shoes. Mr..
Hewitt Is said to have even higher
ambitions. 1t Is rumored that he will
ask the nomination for city attorney
at the next election.
The retiring attorney has been be-
fore the public even more prominently
that has City Attorney Mathews and
many have believed that Mr.. Gourge
was the city attorney. He has been the
chief legal adviser of the city council
and has handled the Owens river ques
ton in its legal phases, almost ex-
clusively.
Mr.. Goudge retired in a blaze Of
glory, for it was his statement to the
council Wednesday afternoon that put
such a serious aspect on the machina-
tons Of the council in engineering the
franchise grab. The citizens who pro-
tested against the steal in the council
room pleaded with the members of the
council to secure the advice of the
city attorney before taking any ac-
ton.
When 1t seemed certain that the
council would not ask the city attorney
for his opinion on the legality of the
proceeding, Mr.. Goudge placed himself
directly in front Of the council, and in
a clear, even tone said:
If the council has any right to grant
this franchise at all, 1t is not only
within it's power, but its legal duty
to sell it,"
