CLEVER CROOK IS
IN POLICE TOILe:
ARREST LOS ANGELES SWIND-
LER IN ST. LOUIS
Leigh Allen, Accused of Looting POST
office and Who Was Short in
Church Accounts, Is
Captured

A man identified as Leigh Allen,
formerly a member of the First Con-
gregational church and for whom the
postoffice authorities have been search
ing for more than four months on ac-
count of a swindle which he is said
to have worked, was arrested yester-
day in ST. Louis and will be brought
to Los Angeles for trial
When Allen first came to Los An
geles about year ago, he brought
letters nightly recommending him from
churches in Michigan. He immediately
joined the First Congregational church,
became one of the most active mem
bers of the Christian Endeavor and
was appointed chairman of the social
committee. In that position he was in
charge of a considerable amount of
church funds. Later his accounts were
short and as he failed to make up the
amount missing he left the church.
Loots Postoffice
From Los Angeles Allen went to San
Diego county. In Lamesa he secured
the position of assistant postmaster.
Some time after he secured the posi-
ton, the regular postmaster left for
few days and the office was in charge
of Allen. He issued money orc ars pay
able to himself and after looting the
postoffice safe of about $500 he came
to Los Angeles and cashed the orders.
He was known by several of the
clerks and had little difficulty in Sc
curing the money. From the local
postoffice he thus secured $1S5.
After swindling the postoffice here.
he went to Pasadena, where he repeat
ed the trick. The total amount of his
populations was not far from $500,
When he was in Los Angeles he was
accompanied by a Jewish woman who
had formerly been a member of the
Salvation Army. He represented her
as his wife, but it has since been
learned that she was not married to
him.
Woman With Him
When arrested in st. Louis the man
said to be Allen had the woman with
him. She was also arrested, as it was
believed that she had some connection
with the crime
Al the time of his arrest Allen was
known by the alias of Charles Leigh.
1t was stated in the dispatch that he
was identified by the fact that two of
the fingers of his right hand were
missing.
The postal authorities have been on
the lookout for Allen all over the
United States.
The crime was great shock to his
acquaintances among the Church peo-
pie of the city Postoffice Inspector
Wilson Yesterday expressed gratifica-
tion at the mans arrest and stated
that in his opinion Allen is a dangerous

JAIL SERVICES
ARE PATHETIC
Hardened Criminals Break Down and
Weep as Long Buried Thoughts
of Home Are Brought
to Mind

Probably in no place in Los Angeles
is there service conducted on Sunady
80 pathetic as that at the city Jail. 1t
is no uncommin thing to see a hard
ened criminal break down and weep
when he hears the sweet music and
prayers.
Yesterday more than a score of people
gathered at the city Jail to hold serv-
ices, Among them We're representatives
from the Y. M. c. A, the w. C. T. u,
the Sisters and other religious organ
izations.
The services were held on the main
floor, where the men prisoners were al
lowed to congregate. Some of the re-

HORSELESS BULLFIGHT NEXT
Two Contests Scheduled at Tia Juana
This Month, With Rob-
ert as Star

Many are arranging to attend an en-
tertainment at Tia Juana that should
prove an interesting event in sports in
Southern California.
The excursion tickets and admissions
are now on sale and the Santa Fe rail-
road will run special both ways.
This is a sport that is well known in
Mexico and some portion of Texas,
but has never been successfully intro
duced in America. No horses are used
in these contests and consequently
many women have arranged to be
present.
Felix Robert imports wild and fierce
bulls for these contests, bringing them
from the mountains of Chihuahua. His
company of matadors come from Eel
Paso and the City of Mexico and are
much admired in those cities.
1t is clever, clean work and not the
brutal sport many suppose 1t to be.
There will be two contests on Sun
day afternoon, July 10, and July %.

Strike Many Attitudes

The different attitudes of the prisoners
would furnish much material for any
one interested in a study of human I'D =
ture. Some raised their voices in the
singing. some were content and please Il
mute and defiant.
One aged prisoner who is awaiting
trial on charge of grand larceny paid
no attention whatever when the singing
was first begun. Suddenly he straight
ened up and his eyes began to shine.
He breathed quickly and seemed al
most TO drink in the music. Before
the song was ended he had bowed his
head and was crying. 1t was a song
that his mother had sung to him when
be was a child.

Sees Vision of Home

Before his eyes fitted a vision of Z
mother and father long since dead He
alsD saw in fancy the little house and
the large green yard where he used lC
play in Chicago when that city was
young.
Almost by his side sat a young man
of good appearance. He did not have
a hard-lookng face, although he is now
awaiting trial on a serious charge The
music and prayers moved him not
Through the entire service he sat
quiet, rigid and defiant.
There We're many others who are in
Jail for petty first offenses whicn were
committed in a thoughtless moment.
They forgot their plight and rejoiced
by joining in the singing.
No Service for Women
on the second floor. where the women
are kept, no service was held yesterday.
Occasionally a little snatch of song
would drift up the stairway to the
women as they talked together. Some
were saddened, others rejoiced Some,
like a few of the men, gave no heed
whatever to the service.
In one corridor two women past mid
die age were seated. To each other
they told stories of happy girlhood,
then fall from grace and a life of
crime which brought them to prison.
Those who conduct the services at
the jail each Sunday bring with them
what can best be called sunshine. On
no day do the prisoners have such
happy faces as on Sunday. after the re-
ligious workers have left the jail.
Many who are serving long sentences
look forward to the Sunday services,
some because they are desirous of re-
joicing, others because II is diversion
from the routine of the week.

Report has it that the Mozambique
mine on Deadmans fiat, near Grass
Valley, Cal. may be sold. The mine is
being investigated on behalf of South
ern California capital. and If 1t can
show ledge of values of sufficient worth
there is a very strong probability that
the deal will be made. Years ago this
mine produced rich ore, but lack of
capital finally led to a cessation of ope
ratiOns which a stronger concern could
have carried out successfully, Some
months ago operations were recon-
menced. the long drain tunnel being

exciting than that for the nomination for
sheriff This y - due perhaps not only for
the honor a. n fhe6 to the OIL e Isself, but
also for the satisfaction that would accom-
pany the feat of defeating the only sue
cessful candidate on the opposition ticket
two years ago.
Winfield ). Treworgy, of Surry, was the
nominees man of high character, sue
cesstul in his life work, OF sterling worth,
not without experience in public life.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
Always an important office, that OF
county commissioner has become doubly
so during the last decade or two, in which
the valuation of the county has doubled,
and since the State has imposed duties
calling for sound business judgment and
an expenditure Of far more time than was
formerly required.
For this Office the republicans selected
Fred H. Page, of Bucksport, man whose
business for many years has especially
well equipped him for the work he will, II
elected, be called upon to perform.
FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS.
The dea h of William b. Campbell, who
was renominated by reclamation for reg

Deasy, OF Bar Harbor. The former has
served one term in the upper branch,

and useful member. Mr.. Deasy is one of
the brilliant lights OF the Hancock county

FOR CLERK OF COURTS.
No one who has had to do with the office
of the clerk of courts can gainsay that the

the right man in the right place. by
nature a gentleman, by training scholar,

REPUBLICAN RALLY.
Crowded Hall Welcomed Governor
Cobb In Ellsworth.

COBB In ELLSWORTH.
Hancock hall was crowded to the doors
last Saturday evening, when Gov. William
r Cobb spoke on the issues in the present
campaign. The meeting was presided
over by Col John r. Whitcomb. Lynch's
band furnished music.
Gov. Cobbis speech was a calm, dispas-
sionate, dignified review of the principal
issues in the campaign. He took for his
text the question propounded by the DEM
Gratis "Shali Maine be honest,n which he
said was an insult to the people of Maine.
Quoting from pa mphlet being circulated
by the democratic campaign managers, he
proceeded to explode some of the state
ments and half-truths made therein. He
touched upon the States finances. lie said:
"Maine is extremely prosperous. 1t has
never before been SO prosperous You know
it, You see it on the farm, in the shop, in the
mill and in every current OF trade which
blows up and down the State. The people
have more than ever before, and we are
spending more than ever before. Why? Because
the State of Maine is receiving more income
than ever before Twenty-Five years ago our
debt was s400o,000. To-day 1t is $1,000, CO.,
Since Jan. !, 1905, the principal has been
reduced s25000o and before the close of the
year it viii be reduced still more. Twenty
five years ago the State tax was four and one
half mills. To-day IL is two and one-hah
mills. Our debt has been reduced, the inter
est has been reduced, and the rate of taxation
has been reduced under republican admins
tration. Hancock county receives more
money from the treasury each year than 1t
pays in. Thirty-seven of the thirty-two
towns receive more money from the State than
they pay in"
He explained the railroad subsidy bill,
showing how it came to be granted, and
how it was justified by the benefits accru-
ing from the railroads.
He closed by reviewing at some length
the prohibition and enforcement ques-
lions, and the history OF the Sturgis COM
mission.
Gov. Cobb was followed by Walter @.
Emerson, of Portland, who spoke on gem
eral issues of the campaign, and paid
tribute to the splendid administration Of
Governor Cobb.
