LOOT SAFE WHILE
OFFICIALS WORK
SUPREME COURT CLERKS Of
FlCE BURGLARIZED
Daring Daylight Job Staggers Govern
ment and Police Attaches-Must
Have Operated Before
Their Eyes

Daring thieves looted the safe of the
supreme court clerks office in the
Bullard building yesterday afternoon
before the eyes of the employees and
yet was not seen.
How the theft was committed and
who the guilty party or parties are
is yet unknown to the police.
So startling was the theft that the
police were staggered at it's boldness
Not the slightest trace of the identity
of the robbers can be found. Details
of officers have been put to work or
the case but nothing could be learned
from the police as to the progress they
made in the case.
The theft was one of the daring day
light robberies that have been repeated
ly committed in Los Angeles within
the past few weeks.
Heretofore thieves have used the tel
ephone. calling a proprietor from his
store into another to answer the call
and in the absence they would loot the
place.
How the thieves gained entrance is
not so surprising as how they got in
side the railing and looted the strong
box while others were in the room al
day
According to the police reports, Rob
ert Dunlap called at the central police
station late yesterday afternoon and
notified them of the robbery. Mr.. Dun
lap is clerk of the court and was II
the room during the day most OF the
time. However, he is certain that the
thief did not do his work while he was
in the room.
But few other particulars could bt
obtained regarding the theft.
The safe was left open only a few
minutes while the room was open an,
employees of the government were II
the room. 1t is evident that the THE
was desperate and did his work quick
ly and smoothly.
There were many other government
employees at work in the adjoining
rooms. No suspicious characters wer'
seen about the rooms or in the hall
ways.

Treasures the Clipping

Leona, the 14-year-old daughter of
Mrs. Baum, has been engaged almost
constantly, and it was thus that the
family was enabled to live Mrs. Baum
was only 2S years old and was hand
some woman. The clipping quoted was
tattered and stained and showed signs
of having been much read. Mrs. Baum
had evidently read the clipping and
contrasted the conditions.
When she was first taken to the hos
pital Mrs. Baum would say nothing
about herself except to moan that she
could not go on and to ask for Alf.
From the statement of Eph Denton,
her brother, it would seem that the
woman was of a very nervous nature
and that the desertion of her husband
had prostrated her. The daughter was
overcome by the plight of her mother
and almost tainted several times. Den
ton stated that his sister had tainted
at Chutes park earlier in the day but
had gone down town with the avowed
intention of consulting a physician.
DIR. Quint said early this morning
that the woman has an even chance of
recovery, although her condition is
still most serious. Mrs. Baum was 2S
year old and her daughter was born
when she was IA years old.

VICTIM OF TRANCE GOES
SOUTH TO RECUPERATE
GIRL WHO SLEPT FOR MONTH
RECEIVERS
Florence Parker, the Montana Mys-
terry, Will EndeaVor to Regain Her
7 Strength at Coronado Beach, HaV-
ing Entirely Recovered

Miss Florence Parker, the daughter
of Col. L. C. Parker, who slept twenty
eight days at the Sisters hospital, left
yesterday for San Diego and will go to
Coronado to recuperate from her long
illness.
Nearly a year ago Miss Parker was
taken with peculiar nervous disease
which for some months baffled all
physicians of the Pacific coast. In vain
her parents took the young woman
from town to town but her condition
steadily became worse.
While on her fathers ranch near
Tucson, Ariz., Miss Parker went to
sleep January IL. Five days later Col.
Parker chartered a private Pullman
and brought the young woman to Los
Angeles. She was sent to the Sisters
hospital and placed under the care of
DR.. Brainerd.
Even the skilled nerve specialist was
somewhat puzzled by the young wom-
ans condition, but under his care she
improved from her illness.
According to information received
last evening the young woman has en-
tirely recovered from her illness. She
is still in a weak condition but has
thrown off the connatose state in which
she was held for so long a time.
Miss Parker was formerly of Deer
Lodge, Mont.

Further Operations In North, Just
Coming to Light, Stamp Her as
Confidence Woman, the
Police Say

The police received information yes
terday that convinced them that the
dashing brunette arrested last week
under the name of Mrs. j. Herman
and taken to Fresno on the charge OF
passing fictitious checks is a notorious
confidence woman, known in northern
cities as Mrs. c. H. Middleton.
Mrs. Herman's speciality has been IN
weighing mayors of cities into indorsing
checks.
According to the police of Portland,
Mrs. Middleton succeeded in victim
izing a number of prominent business
men and she secured $S5 from well
known dentist, DR.. Ney Churchlnah'
who accommodated the woman by casn-
ing her check on Los Angeles bank.
The check was returned protested,
but Mrs. Middleton left the city before
any action was taken against her.
In company with the woman was u
man posing as her husband. He repre-
sented himself to be drug salesman
and it is thought by the local police
that it was the same man who called
at the station while Mrs. Herman"
was confined in the city jail awaiting
the arrival of Fresno officer.
The woman operated in this city dur
| ing the first part of March, and, ac-
cording to j. McGinnis, proprietor or
a. Spring street suit store, and the
managers of the Boston store sue

come to light and the police are pre-
rared with plenty of evidence on when
to hold her if she ever returns to this
city. .,e
| In Portland she represented herself
| to be a prominent Los Angeles SOCIETY
woman and gave "a plausible story wnen
passing her checks.
At Fresno she captivated several busl-
ness men by her charming manner and
| became involved in several transac-

Raisin city.
| If the authorities there fail to make
out a case the local detectives are pre-
pared to have her arrested on COM
plaint charging her with passing fic'
titious checks.
The Portland authorities are also
anxious to secure the handsome cohti'

ACTRESS GOWNS
TAX QUARTERS
NEEDS EXTRA DRESSING ROOM
FOR HER WARDROBE
New Stock Company Coming to Grand
Opera House Has a Fashion
Plate for a Leading
Woman

Miss Corinne Smell, leading woman OF
the Ulrich stock company which opens
its regular summer season at the Grand
opera house next Sunday matinee, is
the possessor of probably the greatest
variety of costumes ever collected by
any actress excepting some of the
greatest stars.
This fact was discovered at the
Grand opera house when the dressing
rooms were being allotted to the men,
bers of the company, and it was dis
covered that an extra dressing room
would be required for the costumes of
the leading woman alone, as 1t was I'M
possible for her to get them all into the
leading woman's room-the largest in
the theater-and leave room for her to
make up and move around with any
degree of comfort.
1t Is said that there are costumes
in her collection at the very description
of which mere man shudders and re-
tires within himself for silent cogita-
ton. 1t is believed that there are
colors and shades of color in the fab
RIGS that Solomon in all his glory would
have passed up as being beyond his
experience of gorgeousness.
1t would appear from this that there
will be something especial doing in the
matter of the staging of the produc-
tions at the Grand this season. The
opening bill, "The Shadow Behind the
Throne is one which will admit OF
gorgeous oriental coloring.
Other members of the company are
Harrison King, Miss Lillian Hayward
Pryse MacKaye, Frank 1. Frayne, Miss
Lule Warrenton, Miss Myrtle Selwyn
Frank Richardson, Paul Harvey, Ar
thur Hill, Herbert Farjeon, Earle Gard
ner and Albert McQuarrie.

with the quoted clipping worn from
much reading and soiled with tears
arising from reflection upon her condi-
tion, in her handbag, Mrs. Alfredo
Baum, known on the stage as Alfredo,
went into the Vile de Paris at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and swal-
lowed the contents of Il bottle of car
bOlic acid.
According to the statement of Eph
Denton, the woman's brother, Mrs.
Baum was deserted one week ago by
her husband while they We're at San
Bernardino.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baum were married
fifteen years ago i'll Nebraska. At that
time Mrs. Baum was only 13 years of
age. One year later their only child,
a girl, was born and was named Leona.
For the past ten years Baum is alleged
to have not only not contributed to
the support of his wife but to have
lived from the earnings which his wife
made as an acrobat.
The most dangerous feats We're per-
formed by the unfortunate woman to
enable her to earn enough money to
support her husband and daughter.
She was a performer on the high wire
and was noted for her disregard of
danger.
Calls Jim in DeIirium
With her little daughter and her
brother, Mrs. Baum showed at Portland
and more recently in Los Angeles at
Fischer's theater doing feats upon the
slack wire with the bicycles. The
daughter Leona and Eph Denton have
been at the Chutes theater for the past
week with an acrobatic act.
Mrs. Baum was unable to obtain an
engagement in this city, so she and her
husband went to San Bernardno. They
were not successful in getting work in
the latter city and Baum deserted his
wife, and although he has been seen
| in Los Angeles since the time he went
away he did not return to his wife.
When Mrs Baum was taken to the
receiving hospital she was unconscious
and repeated the words, "Jim, 1 can't
do my act. 1 can't go on today, Jim,"
and then she called repeatedly for Jim,
her husband, and Alf, her brother.
Husband Fails to Support Her
Clerks at the Vile de Paris stated
that the woman entered the store four
times and wandered aimlessly about
Finally she again entered the store just
before closing time, walked to the real

The brother. Alf Denton, for whom
she called was her twin brother anc

with her husband. 1t would seem from
the statements Of Denton that the hus
band was not actually cruel to Mrs
Baum but that he was utterly shiftles:
and that the woman was obliged tC
support the family.
