POLICE HEAR CRIES;
CATCH A F00TPAD
GUILTY PARTY PROVES TO BE
NEGREsS
First Hold-up Near New High and
Temple in Years Ends in Dis
comfiture of Two Bold
FemaIes-One Escapes

A daring highway robbery was per-
petrated at New High and Temple
streets late last night, according to the
victom, Gus Larsen, who claimed that
two negresses held him up and robbed
him of $160.
Patrolman Vignes heard the outcry
and ran toward the struggling group.
One of the women broke away and
escaped, but Vignes captured Lula Will
liams and locked her up in the city
Jail on suspicion.
She was searched but no money was
found in her possession.
Detectives believe that she passed the
money to her companion.
Larsen said that he was a guest at
the Grand Central hotel and took a
stroll on New High street. AS he
reached the corner he noticed the two
women, and one of them stepped for
ward and opened a conversation. He
attempted to brush by them, but one
grasped him tightly about the neck,
while the other deftly went through his
pockets.
He called for help and grappled with
the women. Patro1man Vignes heard
the cry and ran to his assistance.
Il One of the women ran down New
High street and escaped, but Lula Will
lliams was captured after putting up a
stiff fight. She is powerfully built and
was able to make Il strenuous resist
ance, said the officer. She maintained
gner innocence of any attempt at rob-
Abery but the police said that they have
q good case against her.
NThe police regard this as a daring
robbery. There is no light at the
corner but pedestrians are constantly
passing up Temple street, and as far
as known this is the first hold-up in
that locality for several years.

OCCIDENTAL DEFEATS THR0OP
Archibald is Easy for College Stick
Men--HighIander to Meet
Pomona

The Occidental college baseball nine
crushed the team of the Throop poly
technic school yesterday afternoon by
a score of IA to 0.
The game was characterized by the
heavy hitting of the collegians and the
miserable fielding of the polys. The
work of the black and gold was by far
the best exhibition which they have
given during the present season and
there was a dash to their play which
ihas been sadly lacking heretofore.
But one error was chalked against
the Hghlanders and they participated
in several fast plays. Ross and
Thatcher were the stars of the day.
Archibald, who proved such a puzzle
to the Presbyterians in the first game,
was an easy proposition yesterday and
was pounded to all corners of the field.
The Occidentals will play their first
intercollegiate game with the Pomona
team at Claremont next Saturday.

OIL ON THE TRACK ARoUSES HIS
SUSPICIOUS
Mischievous Boys Believed to Be Re-
sponslbIe for Report That Ban
dts Planned to Rob
Passengers

A report that five armed men were
laying plans to hold up Belt line
car was investigated by detectives late
last night.
1t was thought probable that boys
living in the vicinity of Bellevue ave-
nue. were at the bottom of the plot.
The rails were smeared with oil and
it was impossible for the cars to ascend
the hill near Echo park road until the
car crew thickly sprinkled the tracks
with sand.
Motorman d. e. Cornwell of car No.
"a told the police that several men
were lurking in the bushes on Bellevue
avenue near Echo park road with the
intent to hold up car as soon as there
were enough passengers to warrant
the desperate act.
The motorman said that he noticed
that the track was very slippery when
his car began to descend the hill, CITY,
bound. He investigated and found that
the tracks were covered with oil for
several yards.
At the next crossing a passenger got
on in a high state of excitement. He
said that while he was waiting for the
car he saw indistinctly several figures
back of a clump of bushes and heard
someone say: "That's all right. We
will get the next car, when there are
more passengers"
Motorman Cornwell lost no. time in
coming to the city and at once reported
the affair to the police.
A detective was sent out on the re-
turn trip of the car to make investi-
cations.
From another source it was learned
that mischievous boys We're the proba-
BILE authors of the alleged attempt at
a holdup.
