BURGLARS WORK;
POLICE SLOW
THIEVES LEAVE CLEWS, BUT
EASILY EVADE CAPTURE
Department WlthhoIds Facts From the
Public, Hoping Thereby to Screen
the Inefficiency of the
Force

Burglary reports and thefts flooded
the police station yesterday.
In all nearly $1,000 worth of stolen
goods and money was reported to the
detectives, but the "sleuths" could not
secure a trace Of any of the thieves.
AS is customary reports of many of
the thefts were withheld from publi-
cation.
E. r. Bullard of 14O East Eighteenth
street reported to the police on Wednes
day that thieves had entered his home
and looted it. From the appearance of
their work they were professionals.
BY means of pass keys they entered the
house in the afternoon about 1870
o'clock.
The robbers first rihed the first floor.
After tearing into several drawers and
ransacking closets they made their way
to the second story. There they rified
the bureaus and chiffoniers. A large
diamond solitaire, a necklace, a chain
and a lady's gold watch were stolen.
Police Inactive
Good clews were left by the thieves
that may lead to their recovery. These
were pointed out to the police and evil
dence as well. So far but little has
been done on the case.
K. q. IempletOnS nome at lll6 sam
tee street was entered Wednesday
afternoon about o'clock. The house
was ransacked and some articles of
small value and $50 was taken. The
theft was discovered soon after it hap
pened and was reported to the police.
No arrests have been made in the case.
Thursday morning numerous small
thefts were reported to the police. A
robber broke into the room of Mrs.
Webber at 329 Towne avenue during
the night. After ransacking the rooms
the thief stole some clothing and left.
The detectives were notified.
While absent from his room Wednes-
day night Carl Bonenberger told the
police that thieves entered and stole a
considerable amount of clothing. A
man was seen leaving the room and his
description was placed in the hands of
the police.

LOS ANGELES WEATHER
APPROACHES THE IDEAL
STRONG CONTRAST WITH CONDI.
TIONS in EAST
Temperature Reaches a Maximum of
96 Degrees, but the Heat Is Tenn
pered by Light Breeze-Toursts
Bask in Sunshine

Los Angeles was again the warmest
city in the United States yesterday
with the temperature at the maximum
OF sc degrees.
While the eastern states were bound
in ice and snow, tourists in Southern
California basked in the warm sun
shine, forgetting for the time the rigors
of climate at their home with its neces-
sary snow shoveling and the other dis
comforts which accompanies such con-
ditions.
Local Forecaster Franklin predicts
fair weather for today, with fresh
northerly, changing to west wind.
There was a slight wind blowing yes
terday at the rate of four miles an
hour. tempering the heat and making
the day nearly ideal.
The statement issued by the fore
caster as to the conditions prevalent in
Southern California is as follows
"The pressure continues high over
the Rocky mountain and plateau re-
gions and on the Pacific slope north of
the Tehachapi. Fair weather with
warm and dry northerly winds, results.
The conditions are favorable for con-
t1nued fair weather in this vicinity.

now is off the Georgia coast, with a
rain area extending from the Atlantic
coast to the lower Mississippi valley

WORK OF POLICE CRITICISED
Many Criminal Cases Dismissed Be-
cause Force Falls to Secure
Proper Evidence

E. A. Briggs, charged with embezzle-
ment, dismissed.
F. j. Crossley, charged with embez-
element, dismissed.
James Mulvaney and Guy Allen,
charged with petit larceny, dismissed.
Johana Kiel, charged with disturbing
the peace. dismissed.
According to the police court records,
these cases were dismissed yesterday
in the city justice and police courts be-
cause the police failed to secure the
proper evidence against the persons ac-
cused.
THE city prosecutors continually are
compelled to dismiss cases because of
the poor work in the police depart
ment," said an attorney who deals with
cases in the police court to a consider
able extent. Either the police want
to make good showing by arresting
innocent persons on suspicion or are so
incompetent they are unable to convict
criminals"

COURTS TAKE NO CHANCES
WITH SEERESS
Woman lnvades Mystic Realm, Slaps
Manager Sauer and Is Scratched BY
Margaret Graham's Mundane
Finger Nails

With a wave of her hand. calling the
spirits of the air and water to her aid,
Margaret Graham, self-named queen
of the spirit world, departed from the
police station yesterday to enjoy few
brief days of freedom before the courts
decide whether she must answer a
charge of embezzlement.
But the invocation of aid from the
spirits was only formality, for attor-
neys for Margaret Graham, or Mrs.
Charles Sauer, as she is known to the
earthly world, had already deposited
the necessary $4,000 bail with the Of
ficials and now if the psychic queen
looks in her hand and finds that it Is
forecasted she must flee the local courts
will be amply protected.
In connection with the charges
brought against Mrs. Graham in Texas,
a number of Los Angeles women have
made complaint and have alleged they
have been deceived by the spirit queen.
Margaret Graham is wanted in San
Antonio. her former field, on twelve
indictments charging her with embez-
Element in the practice of her spirit
schemes on the society women of San
Antonio.

One woman who is alleged to have
been victimized is Mrs. A. T. Innes of
Los Angeles. Mrs. Innes recently came
to Los Angeles from Can Antonio, and
yesterday she told of a recent encoun-
ter between herself and Margaret

POLICE MAKE
BAD BLUNOER
COMPELLED TO RELEASE GIRL
FROM CUSTODY
Booked Under the Name of Another
Woman and Who Is Said to Be
the One Really
Wanted

Ray Crates or Hornady. the young
woman arrested Wednesday evening by
Patrolman Willard Smith and held in
the city Jail all night under the name OF
Clara Barton, was released yesterday.
The officer admitted IL Ut he had no
warrant for the young woman, but said
that he decided to arrest her on sus-
picion.
1t also developed that the woman the
police were after is really Nina Barton.
An effort was made, according to a
statement from the prosecuting attor-
neys office, to fix on Nina Barton the
serious charge of Turing Ray Crates
from the Truelove home Prosecuting
Attorney Keyes, however, refused to
issue a complaint
According to Acting Chief Auble, the
Barton woman and the Crates girl have
been associating with several young
men during the last ten days. Ray
Crates was placed in the Truelove
home by her mother and stepfather,
but, according to Auble, was enticed
away by the Barton woman.
The police say they had been watch
ing for Ray and the Barton woman but
were unable to find them. Late on
Wednesday evening Patrolman Smith
arrested Ray at the Truelove home,
and, according to his statement later,
he did not know what the girl was ar
rested for: in fact, all that he claimed
to know was that her mother wanted
her arrested.
Friends of the girl want to know why
she was locked up in the city Jail on
no particular charge. as she was not
wanted for crime.
Ray Crates is the daughter of Mrs.
Herbert L. Crates of oil East Thirty
second street. Her real name is
Hornady.
The police declare they have traced
the girl to the Edendale hills and Echo
park during the time of her alleged dis

swindled out of several hundred dol
lars in Texas on the silk worm prop
osition by the woman now posing as
Margaret Graham" Mrs. Innes said,
in substance:
knowing that Margaret Graham
was in Los Angeles, started out last
month to find her. 1 succeeded in find
ing her in her elaborate apartments,
grandly attired and bedecked with
jewels. 1 recognized her at once.
II wore a heavy veil, which made a
sort of disguise, for the purpose of
finding out her methods of business.
She asked me if 1 wanted a So or So
reading. When 1 made known my
identity she bNshed and tried the
bluffing game of not recognizing me,
but she didn't succeed.
Bluff and Scratches
IT pressed the point of the payment
of the money she was owing me, and
she finally promised to pay me some
the first of March, and when the time
came | took my sister along with me.
When we entered the rom the husband
of the woman met us and tried his
game of bluff with considerable pro-
family, stating that we had no business
there. He aroused me to the pitch that
l struck him in the face, at the same
time asking HlIl " ISlleiSI WlitlS iiV
had said. At first he refused to do so,
but when 1 grasped a vase and threat
ened to smash it over his head, he
gave in at once.
I'VE managed to get inside where the
woman was, and after some words
passing between us she grabbed me
and scratched my face. And L didn't
get any money
When Margaret Graham" appeared
in court yesterday she was represented
by seven attorneys. Her attorneys
asked that the argument of the habeas
corpus proceedings be postponed until
Saturday and at that time the woman
will make desperate effort to be re-
leased from the fugitive warrant
brought by the officer from Texas.
But the district attorneys office has
the reputation of never having lost or
a fugitive warrant, and Attorney
Fleming is preparing a strenuous de-
fense for the Texas representative.

These two calculations uttered stimuli
taneously on Spring street, near Third,
last night by Lew Sully the monologist
at the Orpheum and Ed Perry, the
comedian with my Wife's Family at
the Grand opera house respectively,
show that stage folks seldom know
what is going on at other theaters than
their own. Had the chance meeting
not occurred on the street Perry and
Sully, who worked together in Vaude-
VILE at the time when it was much
more precarious existence than it is
now, would each have passed on his
tour next week without knowing that
they were rival attractions at theaters
not more than two blocks apart.
They went to Levys to talk it over.
"Reminiscences followed reminiscence,
and enough red hot material was
passed back and forth across the table
to keep short story writer busy for
years.
do you remember, Lew, that time
we went out with the Sagwa medicine
show" asked Perry.

Remember it? Say, DO you re-
member the morning knock came at
our door and voice said, is MIR. Perry

saws the voice. We all take turns tax

Indians around the streets to distribute
handbils and some one had to go along
to see that they didn't throw them in
the ditch. So you says, Guess you've
got the wrong boy. It's Sully you
want
yes" and Perry took up the tale.
"And you, you fat slobster, you grunted
three times and went to sleep again.
"And you poured ice water in my
shell-like ear" said Sully-
And then" Perry reminded him,
! 1--WE Tipped dollar to see which one
of us would take the Indians out. You

And | gave the dollar to the voice

in cases where the streets are already

that pipe lines shall be laid on unim-
proved streets, even if it does cost
the electric, gas and other users of
pipes a little more.
This was the decision of the board
of public works expressed yesterday
after having spent the day before in
inspecting the city streets with City
Engineer Stafford and Chief Inspector
Hanley.
The decision of the board means
that where streets have already been
improved permits will not be issued
for the laying of pipes on those
