BAREFOOT Thief
AGAIN At WORK
SH0ELESS BURGLAR R0BS
MANY HOMES
Said to Be Well Armed and Prepared
to Resist Alarms or Fight
Against Arrest

with daring that has character
lied his previous robberies, the motor
ious barefoot burglar" entered four
houses early yesterday morning In East
Twenty-third, East Twenty-seventh
and East Twenty eighth streets, Sc
curing considerable loot and display
ing daring and cunning work.
Although several detectives were de-
tailed on the case yesterday, they
were unable to secure any tangible
clew
At the homo of A. w. Harris, 1165
East Twenty-third street, the daring
robber walked boldly into one Of the
sleeping apartments and turned on the
electric light. One of the members OF
the family saw the man In the room
and started to raise an alarm. The
burglar grabbed a vest which was In
the room and darted out. He secured
some small change and watch.
Gets Money and Watch
A little later, presumably the same
man entered the residence of w. l..
Bell 1915 last Twenty-seventh street,
and ransacked the house without
awakening anyone. He went away
with about $11 in money and watch.
At the home of L. Johnson, 1882 East
Twenty-eighth street. SIT in silver was
taken.
About an hour later burglar entered
the home of DR.. w. l.. Brown, 1913 East
Adams street. His presence in the
house was discovered by a member of
the family, but the elusive barefoot
burglar" escaped by jumping through
an open kitchen window.
Expects Further Trouble
The police believe the man entered
other residences in the same locality
and expect to hear further reports to-
day.
Detectives found footprints under
several windows at the entered resi-
dences and in the soft cart hof the
gardens was found proof that the burg
lar was either barefoot or in his stock
| ing feet.
A barefoot burglar has been operat-
| ing in the city for several months, the
police say, anG generally enters four
or five residences in one night, be-
| tween the hours of midnight and 2
O'Clock in the morning
They claim the man is generally
alone, is armed and prepared to battle
with anyone trying to arrest him, but
does his work in a comparatively noise
| less manner.
Several weeks ago a number of houses
not far from the locality visited Sat-
urday night and yesterday morning,
were robbed of considerable money and
! jewelry.
Escapes After Fight
In two cases he was discovered and
met with resistance, but managed to
escape after putting up desperate
fight. He is thought by the police to
be daring criminal and every effort
will be made to capture him.
NJ. Komio. rooming at 112 Rose street
reported to the police yesterday his
room was entered Saturday night and
about $40 taken from his clothing.
F. Suntatsu, living at 1851 Figueroa
street, said he left his front door open
Saturday night and some prowler ef
the night took advantage of the open
door and secured 50 left on a dresser.
A belated report was received by the
police that the home of Carl Anderson
521 North Whitney street, was entered
Friday night and $32 in money and a
gold ring secured.

MOTHS ACT AS WEAvERs
Make Wondrous Cloth Of Tick and
Turkey Feathers Up In
Vermont State

MONTPELIER, VT. Aug. 2S-Here
Is true story that is going the rounds
In the state papers:
Ten years ago when the home of Mrs.
James Ryan of Lyndon was destroyed
by fire, soiled pillow filled with tur-
key feathers was saved and laid away
in the attic of the new home. Here it
was left undisturbed. A few days ago
Mrs. Ryan thought she would see If
the feathers could not be- cleaned and
made use of, and to that end she emp
tied the case.
When the case was turned inside out
1t was found that the quils of the
feathers were in small pieces and that
some kind of moth had converted the
entire inside of the ticking into what
appeared to be a beautiful piece of
gray plush. 1t was smooth, with a de-
cided nap, and under a strong magni-
flying glass resembled silk woven into
the cloth. The moths had almost en-
tirely disappeared.

VILLAIN WAVES
MOUSE, NOT GUN,
AT THE GRAND

How Baxter Butted In," at the
Grand this week, must be a puzzle to
the old deVotees of melodrama who go
to that house Sunday after Sunday ex-
pecting to be thrilled. But that they
took kindly to being amused instead
was evidenced by the number of cur
tain calls after the second act yes
terday. 1t is usual for the curtain in
the Grand to go down as the hero
stands with his foot upon the neck
(either literally or metaphorically) OF
the villain, while he holds the heroine
in his arms and shouts defiance to the
whole world. The close of the second
act of How Baxter Butted In" found
Harrison King, who had cavorted about
singing Crocodile Isle" and doing a
dance of the whirlwind sort, stand
ing in the middle of the stage waving
a dead mouse at the confused con-
spirators who had gathered to find the
reason for sundry revolver shots. Mean
while prosecuted virtue makes it's es-
cape in the confusion, and the whole
company joins in ffivolity.
Arthur Hill, in the role of the hard
headed hard-hearted country hotel
keeper, is the iridescent spot of the
whole affair. He has invented a sort
of half snort and half whistle to en-
phasize his meanness which is worthy
of any character actor that ever
breathed. Frank l. Frayne. with such
homely philosophy as Let, Christians
like that go to he'll" is as good as ever.
He is always on hand with the right
business. Myrtle Selwyn is found in
one of her favorite isis Hopkins
parts and is funnier than usual.
There are specialties, songs and
dances and many other incidentals
worked into this curious piece which
liven the proceedings materially. 1t
is odd, but none the less diverting, to
see and hear a leading man singing a
coon song, and Myrtle Selwyn, sup
ported by bevy of pretty girls. makes
things lively whenever there is nothing
else doing. Altogether, though a de-
cided break in the melodramatic ca
reer of the Ulrich company, the new
piece is a welcome diversion.

BOTH LESSEES
CLAIM POSSESSION
H0TCHKlSS. THEATER NOW A
PROBLEM FOR LAWYERS
C. F. Hamilton Has Lease With Priv
ieqe of Extension, While e. A.
Fischer Says He Also Has a
Lease in His Safe

With one man holding an option and
in possession of the property and an
other man holding a lease and expect
ing to secure possession, the Hotchkiss
theater is in a fair way to have trouble
At any rate, unless satisfactory ar
rangements are made there promises
to be long anG heated litigation over
the theater after the first of the year.
C. F. Hamilton, who has just opened
at the HotchkiSs,. is the man with the
option and in possession. He claims
to have a lease on the theater to Janu-
ary and the written promise of Mrs
Hotchkiss-Jauch, owner of the build
ing, for one years continuation there
after If he wants it.
E. A. Fischer nj Fischer's theater has
years lease on the Hotchkiss build
ing tightly locked in his safe. accord
ing to his statement, and receipt fol

Both are agreed that there is no con-
troversy over the lease.

any controversy I don't know it.

first of January if l want it, and as
I'm now in possession of the building
1 guess it's pretty good"
Locked in My Safe"
"There is no controversy whatever" "
said Mr.. Fischer last night. "I have
years lease on the building locked in
my safe and when January 1 comes
I'll take possession of the theater.''
And there you are.
AS matter of fact Hamilton, who
now has the house. only has a real
lease till January 1, but he is too old a
theatrical man to take hold of the
property without some way ~ having 1t
longer than four months If he wants
It, On the contrary, while Fischer may
have a lease from January 1, it is
nderstood-though not authoritatively
that it is subject to any option that
Hamilton may hold.
Among theatrical men it is the talk
that Mrs Hotchkiss-Jauch has prob
ably in order to make certain an in
come from the property, given both
parties hopes, If nothing more; prob
ably inadvertently.
Legal Tangle Created
Be that as it may, very pretty legal
tangle seems to have been created, and
It. may take the courts to decide
provided, always, that Hamilton hasn't

The Hotchkiss has been the storm
center of Los Angeles theatrical sensa-
tions for the entire span of it's career
1t is known as hoodoo house, and
practically every man who has had a
hand in it's management has gone tc
the bad with it.
When Kolb and Dill were really TAX
ing in real money there Fischer wanted
the lease, and the day that Don Chick
signed 1t Kolb was cooling his heels in
the lobby trying to do the same thing
with Fischer associated with him. But
he was few minutes. too late.
While it was hoped that the Hamilton
regime would result in, the house get
ting out of the hoodoo class for once

affairs have taken. Incidentally, 1t is

TIGRESs CHUMs WITH A DOG
They Occupy the Same Cage on the
Steamer That Brings Some
Queer Animals

SpcriaI IN IN" Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug 26.-Just an ordi-
nary yellow dog and fierce tigress
occupied the same cage aboard the
German freighter Vandalia, which
nosed her way into a slip at the Bush
terminal warehouse yesterday. The
Vandalia Is from the Far East.
The dog is from the Straits Settle
ments, and some one, when the tigress
was young, forced the ill-mated pair
into terms of intimacy, until they
would lie down and share their rations
together
The tigress, beautiful beast of the
Bengal variety, makes every human
being aboard the ship respect her long,
cruel claws, but has soft place in her
tigerish heart for the walf dog.
OF the collection on the ship, includ-
ing the Chow Chow dogs, Japanese
spaniels, Malay ape and the tigress
and her friend, the star is August, a
tiny Malay bear cub of the color of
blue ink. August is less than sixteen
inches in length.
