CHAPTER Xxx.
David Has Visitors

DAVID had to rise pretty early to admit his
charwoman. Behind her, in the outer lobby
he saw the scared face of the hall porter, who
remembered that a certain loud knocking and
difficulty of gaining access to that flat one other
occasion had been the prelude to tragic discovery
though he, not being in the building at the time,
had heard OF the affair only from his mates.
David smiled reinsurance at him. and went back
to his bed room to dress. He placed the portrait
and the letter in inner pocket of his waistcoat
provided tor paper money, and, the hour being in
advance of breakfast time went out for a stroll
Regents Park was delightful that morning. Not
spring, but summer, was in the air. Nature, to
compel man to admire her dainty COntr1VanceS was
shutting in the vstas. Already trees and hedge
rows flung their leafy screens the landscape.
So David wandered on, promising himself many
such mornings with Violet for it passed his wit to
see how Hupfeldt could wriggle out of the
testimony OF his own picture and his hand
writing.
Hence, instead of being earlier, he was somewhat
later than usual in sitting down to breakfast, and
he was surprised young man when, his charwoman
having gone to answer ring at the door, the
announcement came of:
"a lady to you sir
"a LADY," he gasped: Who is she?" and he
hoped wildly that it might be Violet,

David said that even the just man fell seven times

FOUR WRECKERS
BAFFLE POLICE
TWO IN CUSTODY SAY SIX ARE
IMPLICATED
Promise to Reveal Names and Hiding
Place If Granted Immunity, but
the Authorities Are
Undecided

The Los Angeles and Santa Monica
police departments have as yet dis
covered no clews leading to the APP
prehension of the four men at liberty
who were implicated in the attempted
wrecking of one of the Los Angeles
Pacific cars near Ivy station on the
route to Santa Monica early yesterday
morning.
The car contained about fifteen pas
sengers and was running at a slow
speed through the dense fog, when not
fifty feet ahead the motorman, j. A.
Fitzpatrick, saw a pile of logs lying
on the track, and only by quick action
succeeded in bringing his car to a
standstill, but not before the. front
wheels of the car had passed over the
obstruction.
Six figures were noticed running
from the shadows near the death-trap
as the car was stopped, and the motor
man and conductor with number of
the passengers gave chase. Two of
the fugitives were captured after
long run, but the other four escaped.
Implcate Four Others
The car was one of the last to leave
the Fourth street station for Santa
Monica. and the prisoners were taken
aboard the car and carried to the
beach city last night. There they were
imprisoned and made the statement
that four other men had been asso-
ciated with them in the attempted car
wrecking, and promised to reveal ev-
erything If immunitv from punish
ment were promised them. Whether
this will be done in order to make a
capture of the other men has not yet
been decided upon.
1t is believed that the motive. for the
attempted car wrecking was either
robbery or vengeance. This same plan
of robbery was followed about a year
ago on the same line. The theory of
vengeance arises from the fact that
Sylvester Uquidez and James Garcia,
THE two men captured yesterday morn
ing, had at one time worked on the
section gang of the Los Angeles-Pa
cific road near Santa Monica, and,
owing to disorderly conduct, for which
they were fined in the Santa Monica
police court, had been discharged from
the employ of the railroad company.
tits said that they had nursed a griev-
ance against the foreman who secured
their discharge and through Ignorance
may have sought vengeance upon the
railroad company in the manner which
they attempted Monday morning. 1t
is said that the men were drunk when
found by the passengers of the car,
and this may offer some explanation
for their deed

PASTORS UPHOLD THE
BASEBALL GAME
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-Two pastors
used the championship baseball series
as topic for discourse last night
Both agreed that the game is the
cleanest of all sports, but they deplore
the fact that gambling was permitted
on the grounds and that one of the con-
tests was played on Sunday They ap-
pealed to the managers to take a stand
against these two evils in the future
Rev. Johnston Myers preached on a
home run at Emmanuel Baptist church
and declared among other things that
''if the same spirit which sets men wild
at such baseball games as have been
witnessed last week in Chicago were
manifested in the church there would
not be "skeptic left in Chicago"
''In Winning the Pennant" was the
subject chosen by Rev. Reach STRAIT
ton, pastor of the Second Baptist
church.
Baseball is the greatest, grandest
and noblest of all sports,' he said at
is clean, manly and safe. There are
but two strong criticisms that the best
elements of a community ought to
make on the game First, the amount
OF gambling attendant upon the big
games. The second criticism is the al
most general custom of playing the
game on the Sabbath"

FRUIT VENDER
BELIEVED INSANE
ADVERTlSES FOR FIFTY MEN
TO HELP HIM
Has Only Small Wagon, and When
Questioned as to Motive for His
Actions Threatens to
Shoot LandIady

w. H Howe, who rooms at 41S1A
Ruth avenue, was yesterday afternoon
taken to the central police station by
Officers Radcliffe and Humphrey and
booked as insane.
The landlady of the house where
Howe rooms says that Sunday MORN
ing he had inserted in the daily papers
an advertisement calling for fifty men
and women to call at his address to
obtain employment at the Howe Fruit
company"
| Howe has only small fruit wagon
| and his action in advertising for fifty
employees was considered rather un-
usual but no mention of 1t was made
to him by the landlady. However,
when throngs of people began annoy
ing her by calling at the house and in
quiring for Howe she questioned him
regarding his reason for doing such a
thing.
She alleges that he told her it was
none of her business and after ours
ing her savagely threatened to shoot
her if she did not mind her own bust
ness"
The landlady notified the police of
| the affair, and the officers were sent
there yesterday afternoon to place
Howe under arrest
Howe was arrested several weeks ago
by Officer Humphrey on a charge of
blockading the street with his fruit
| cart and was fined $40 for the offense.
After he was released the landlady
of the house where he rooms says that
I he bought a revolver and flashing it
before her made the boast that he
''would kill the cop who arrested him.
The charge of insanity will be
brought against him and possibly the
carrying of concealed weapons.
