murder of a Japanese,
When the jury was selected several
days ago the attorneys for the prose-
cution made it a rule to accept no man
who had been born south of the Mason

considerable time there.
Since the trial has been under way
it has developed from testimony that
in the eyes of some ranChmen of CAL
iforna the 1aboring Japanese are about

it is said that some ranchers treat them
with as little consideration as the ne

defense took up the entire day with
his argument, dwelling at some length

DOCTORS HANDLE
DARLIN G'S CASE
NOT A PROPER SUBJECT FOR
POLICE
c. 3. Darling, Prominent Mason Who

Condition

An insanity complaint has been is

Miller, manager of a Spring street
medical institute, who is being held
in the city Jail on complaints issued
by residents of 623 West Eleventh
street, charging Darling with disturb

Darling is said to have been in the
city for some time interested in ad-
vertising the medical institute. He
roomed for time at q house on West
Eleventh street owned by Mrs. Epply.
Possessed with the idea that he had
bought the house he attempted to sell
it and was arrested on complaint of
Mrs. Epply. After his incarceration in
the city Jail he made known to the
police that he is a thirty-second degree
Mason. Immediately the officers were
influenced to reduce the bail.
Before leaving the Jail Darling
promised not to bother Mrs. Epply.

VAIL OF BABE STARTLES BATLTFF:
PATHETIC SCENE ENACTED In COURT

Again the bailiff looked craftily
about in hope of discovering who had
made the noise, but it was Of no avail,
until he suddenly spied a decidedly red
and plugged nose sticking out from the
bundle held by the mother. Then he
understood and thereafter nothing was
said when the baby cried.
The case was a particularly sad one.
The baby's mother. Mrs. Hazel King,
is herself scarcely more than a child.
Yesterday when she was called upon
to sign away her baby to Mrs. Stroup
she broke down and cried while the
baby looked on and gurgled in mute
sympathy.
The baby's father died during the
latter part Of April Of last year, and
as the young mother was unable to
support the youngster she decided that
the best thing to do would be to turn
her little one over to some one who
could properly educate and care for
her.
The petition for adoption was quick
ly signed and the baby was taken to
its new home

ATTORNEY WARNS ALL VTOLATORS
OF THE CITY CONDUIT ORDINANCE
Thirteen Offending Companies Ordered to Comply
Immediately With the eLaw-Municipalit
and Los Angeles County Included

Following a conference between City
Attorney Mathews, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Fredericton, Street Superintend-
ent Hanley and his chief deputy, w.
Woods, yesterday noon at the city
hall, Attorney Fredrickson gave notice
to the companies, corporations and
bodies which are violating the city
ordinances that they should remove
poles and wires in the district pro-
scribed in the city ordinance.
The order was directly the outgrowth
Of an action on the part of the city
council ordering an investigation of the
violation of the ordinance which stipu-
lates that conduits shall be used for
wires instead of maintaining overhead
service.
After thoroughly discussing the uues-
ton It was decided that Attorney Fred
rickson should take the matter up and
prosecute all companies refusing to
comply with the law.
The first notice sent out was to the
city of Los Angeles. 1t was brought
to the notice OF the attorney that the
city is maintaining wire from the
city hall to the fire department on Hill
street in violation Of the ordinance.
Attorney Makes Statement
Another communication was sent to
the board of supervisors to take down
the wire maintained by them from the
court house to the county Jail. Similar
notices were sent to various telephone,
telegraph, messenger and cable COM
panies to take down wires and poles
used by them and to make use. of con-
duits.
I'm substance the notification I sent
stated to these companies that they
were using wires and poles in viola
ton of the city ordnance said Mr..
Fredrickson late yesterday afternoon.
81 Informed those who are violating
the ordinance that they must comply
with the law; that they must live up
to the ordinance or they would be
prosecuted.
II did not set any particular time
when they should tear down the wires
or poles, but the vioators OF the ordi-
nance must begin Immediately to live
up to the requirements of the law. IF
the request is not complied with the
city will begin action against the CON-
panies.'
City Attorney Mathews is said to
have expressed the belief that some
OF the companies would contest the
affair and in all probability would re-
suit in trouble. He said that the COM
panies are maintaining wires and poles
In some places on streets and in other
places in alleys when they should use
conduits.
Mr.. Mathews Is quoted as saying that
If action was hot taken by the COM
panies the city would take action and
remove the poles and wires for the

Wrapped in flannel and a quantity
Of clothes, Miss Elizabeth King, aged
three weeks, daughter of Garfield and
Hazel King, yesterday braved the bad
weather and the annoyance Of pub
licity to go to Judge Trask's court and
talk over matters with the judge re-
garding her adoption by Mr. and Mrs.
d. j. Stroup.
The baby was so small that when
the flannel coverings were unwrapped
it seemed as though there was hardly
room left for the baby but the court
was startled when a tiny baby fist,
grasping at nothing, was poked out Of
the covering, while a loud and in
sistent "yow" went ringing across the
court room.
over at one end OF the room the
bailiff turned from a contemplation of
the gloomy weather and raped stern
ly for order, but without the slightest
consideration for the bailiff or for any
other man living the baby came
through with another forceful ejacula-
ton.

WATCHMAN BAGS
TWO CAR THIEVES
THINKS HE WOUNDED THIRD
OF BAD GANG
For Some Time City and Railroad De-
tectives Have Been on Trail of
Mail Box and Depot Yard
Miscreants

Ralph Richmond and Anton Hetz,
supposed by the police to be members
of the famous mail box" gang OF
thieves, were captured early yesterday
by Night watchman Murray in the
Salt Lake railroad yard after a rum
ming fight. Three other members of
the gang escaped.
Murray found the men stealing tools
and brass from the railroad company
and Immediately gave chase. The gang
scattered but Richmond and Tetz re-
NAMED together. The watchman dis
charged his shotgun at the gang be-
fore they separated and declares that
he heard a wagon drive away and one
of the men cry out that he had been
shot.
The police attempted to secure a
confession from the men but were un-
able to gain anything. 1t is thought
that the men will break down and
confess to their crimes. From their
appearance the men are professionals.
Some time ago a mail box was stolen
from a corner on Rampant street af-
ter the police had been informed by a
"yeggman" that the theft would occur.
Immediately secret service agents
took the matter up but soon referred
it to the postal inspectors.
Dress as Mail Carriers
The inspectors found that the gang
that stole the mail box were well or
ganized and their scheme was to make
a pattern of the keys used on mail
boxes. With these keys the robbers,
dressed in uniforms Of carriers, would
collect mail, rob valuable pack
ages AMI then in order to throw
detectives off the track would mail
the reseaIed packages and letters in
the postoffice.
Steps were taken by the federal
authorities and the police that made 1t
impossible for the thieves to operate.
Since then they have been making
raids on various railroad yards, prin.
cipally in the Santa Fe yards. Police
were detailed to work in conjunction
with railroad detectives.
Of late the gang have been operating
in all of the railroad yards, stealing
tools and valuable property. Despite
the efforts of the officers no clew to
the identity of the thieves could be
gained until the affair yesterday morn
ing.

SHIP CELERY
To SALT LAKE
FINDS NEW WINTER MARKET
IN UTAH
Buyers From Mormon City Are Send
Ing Best Southern California Vege=
tables Eastward During Cool
Weather by Carloads

Salt Lake City Is fast becoming a
market for the celery raised in such
| large quantities in Southern California
In the vicinity of Los Angeles, say mer-
chants of that city.
The first car that was ever shipped
into the Mormon city arrived there
last week and 1t was of such delicious
quality that the Wholesale houses have
| had a demand for it which they have
| been unable to satisfy.
| Immediately buyers were sent to the
towns near Los Angeles where the
vegetable Is marketed and they have
been securing many cars of it for ship
ment east.
r. e. Wilkinson, representing the
Rash Produce company of Salt Lake
City, who has been making his head
quarters at the Angelus hotel for the
past week, has bought several cars Of
celery and cabbage.
When the Salt Lake road was built
1t provided a means Of direct trans
| portation for vegetables between Los
| Angeles and Salt Lake City and the
ranchers believed that it would provide
a new market for them. Until the
present time however, satisfactory re-
suits have not been obtained.
In Winter Only
During the warmer months plenty of
celery was raised in the country sur
rounding Salt Lake City to supply the
local demands.
Last winter general commission men
In the Mormon city had some celery
shipped from the market towns near
Los Angeles. Their experiment proved
| a loss to them because the vegetable
was shipped In crates and at an un-
| favorable season. This year the mer-
chants decided to handle the product
on more extensive scale and to pay
more attention to the manner of ship
| ping. So great a demand was created
by the sale of the first car that the
merchants believed that Salt Lake City
will prove to be good market for large
quantities of celery during the winter.
The movement of vegetables from
Southern California to the east Is very
heavy at the present time. Railroad
men say that the shipment of celery
from Southern California is heavier
now than it will be at any other time
of year and that from thirty-five to
! forty-five cars are being shipped from
| Smeltzer each day.
