SECURE AGAIN HER
FINE JEWELED TOOTH
CHILDREN RECOVER DIAMOND
STOLEN FROM MOTHER
MoIar Set With Gems, Given to Actress
by "5ob" Fltzsimmons and ABB
stracted From Her Mouth After
Her Death, Is Found

CHICAGO, Jan. "A diamond studded
tooth, which has been extracted from
the mouth of a corpse in north side
undertaking establishment, was re-
covered by policeman and turned over
in the Juvenile court to a sister of the
woman from whose mouth it was taken.
Life insurance policies for $3000 which
disappeared soon after the womans
death, were recovered also.
When Ida May Chambers was lead
ing woman in Bob" Fitzsimmon
theatrical company few years ago she
suffered frequently with toothache
Fitzsimmons induced her to have the
troublesome tooth filled, and, as a mark
of his appreciation of her talent as an
actress, he had the dentist place a
valuable diamond in the filling.
Off the stage the actress was known
as Mrs Colesbaugh. She was divorced
six years ago from Colesbaugh. who, 1t
is said, is now in the Central Hospital
for the Insane at Jacksonville, Ill.
Stricken While at Dinner
Mrs. Colesbaugh was taken i'll on
November 10 while seated at her dinner
table, and she died before midnight.
The body was taken to a north side
undertaking establishment, and while
it was lying there, according to Police
man William f. Stine, who subsequent
ly investigated the case, the diamond
studded tooth was extracted and the
insurance papers taken by one of the
attendants.
After her death her son Alvin, 1C
years old, and daughter Dorothy,
years old, were practically dependent
upon charity. They were found at Az
Wells street last Friday by officers OF
the Chicago bureau of charities. The
children told the officers about the dia-
mond which their mother had in her
tooth and the insurance policies she had
in her possession before her death. The
little boy and girl were taken to Judge
Mack's court by Policeman Stine, and
they told Judge Mack that the diamond
was given their mother by Robert Fitz-
simmons, the pugilist and former actor.
They insisted that their mother had
the diamond in her tooth when she died
and Judge Mack asked Policeman Stine
to investigate their story. Within three
hours Stine returned To the court with
the tooth containing the diamond, and
with the insurance policies. He re-
fused to tell who had them.
Mrs. Sarah f. Bates Of Bloomington
ILL.,, the childrens aunt. was in court
when the policeman returned. Judge
Mack appointed Mrs. Bates custodian
of the children's property, and she
agreed to care for Alvin and Dottie
She gave Stine the following receipt for
the tooth:
Received of w. F. slime one gold
crown, diamond studded human TOOTH
which formerly belonged to Mrs. Ida
May Chambers, now deceased.
SARAH E. BATES"
This was one of the most remark
able cases which has ever come under
my observation" said Policeman Stine
who for several years has been detailed
with the Children's Home and Aid so
ciety. II am glad the children have re-
covered their property and that their
relatives have been found. for now they
will spend New Years day with their
aunt in Bloomington instead of in a
charita able institution

1900 STRIKE IN NEW YORK
Employees of Forty-Four Printing Con-
Germs Quit Work
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Twelve hun
dred union printers, the employees of
forty-four book and job printing con-
Germs in New York City, went on strike
today and began the struggle for the
eight-hour day which had been declared
to go into effect today. Members OF
the local Typothetae, against whom the
strike was declared, asserted tonight
that hundreds of non-union printers
from various parts of the country are
hurrying to New York to take the
places of the strikers and to secure
the high wages paid in this city.
Representatives Of the Typograph-
ical union say that the eight-hour day
principle has already been won in New
York and that the percentage of men
compelled to strike is very small
According to an official statement
issued tonight, there are SO firms asso-
ciated in the local Typothetae. OF
these, 20 have consented to the eight
hour day, "A firms have decided to ad-
here to the nine-hour day rule and
seven firms already were operating on
the open shop principle. Twelve mem
bers of the Typothetae have yet reached
no decision.
To provide a steady supply of nom
union men the employing printers have
established an employment bureau in
this city, which will be run i'm connec-
tion with similar offices in other cities.
1t is said no discrimination will be
made against union men at these em-
ployment stations
George ii. Ellis Of Boston, president
OF the Union Typothetae of America,
came to New York today. In AN inter-
view Mr., Ellis said
The officers of the Typothetae are
much pleased with the present situa-
ton of the strike In all parts of the
country. We expected u great deal Of
trouble, but thus far we have very
little"

NEvIN GETS TIME
TO DECIDE PLEA
WEALTHYAUTcIST HAS LITTLE
FEAR OF JAIL
VloIstor Of Speed Ordinance Chats
With Judge Rose and ls Granted
continuanee--Gets Tip
From Prosecutor

"Billy" G. Nevin, clubman, million
aire and society favorite, rushed into
Judge Roses court room shortly be-
fore O'Clock yesterday afternoon and
held a confidential chat with the po-
lice Judge. incidentally Nevin an
nounced that he "did not know just
how he was going to plead to his charge
of violating the automobile speed ordi-
nance for the third time" Judge Rose
granted the young man time In which
to make up his mind and good natured-
" released him on his own recog-
nizance until then.
Nevin, apparently, has not the slight
est fear of Joining the chain gang for
q few DAYS in order to remind him that
there is an ordinance prohibiting reck-
less and fast speeding Of automobiles,

and Nevin had at one time been col
lege chums they greeted each other.
To post NeVin where he stands in his
present difficulty with the municipal
law, the office of the prosecuting at
torney has given out gentle tip TO
this effect:
cute you, Billy under the clause of
the third offense We are all aware of
the fact that you will fight the case
and in the end win out. We also know
that the anti-speed ordinance is not
worth the paper it is written on. Or
course. the police department Is doing
some good through their mounted pa
trolmen, who play tag and hlde-and-
go-seek with the autoists. But, If some
ono el1o,Ild take n notion TO contest our
ordinance in the courts the ordinance
would be counted down and out in the
first round. Go to it. Billy don't you
lose any sleep over a possible jail SEN
tence."
Prosecuting Attorney Frederickson
is responsible for this idea. Yesterday
morning he admitted that the ordi-
nance could not stand contest in the
courts, but said that under the con-
ditions he would be obliged to fight
the contest, although 1t meant defeat
for the state.
In spite of the fact that the law is
weak twenty-seven autoists charged
with violating the speed ordinance dur
ing the holiday season were arraigned
in the police courts yesterday With
the exception of F. B. Nickerson, who
ran down two small boys yesterday af-
ternoon at the corner of Tourmaline
street and Mission road, all of the ac-
cused pleaded guilty and were fined
SIS each. Nickerson was arraigned in
the police court, charged with violating
the speed ordinance last Sunday after
noon. Nickerson is supported by Fred
Ward, who says he Will fight the case

was fined $50 by Judge Rose yesterday

PLAN
MAIL BOX RAID
TO OPERATE IN THE BUSINESS
DISTRICT
Robbers Methods Are to Make Keys
and in Guise Of Collecting Car
riers Loot Downtown
ReceptacIes

Within a few hours the arrest of the
mail box thieves is expected by the To-
cal police department. Following the
disclosure of the plot yesterday, which
shook the department to the founda-
| tion, more sensational developments
were disclosed after the investigation
of the police.
Secret Service Agent Cronin and
| three police detectives spent most of
the day yesterday in Investigating the
theft. What was first thought to be
a scheme to steal mail boxes from out
| lying districts of the city now proves
| to be one of the most daring plans to
defraud the postal department that was
ever attempted in Los Angeles.
From the postoffce authorities 1t was
learned yesterday that the gang that
stole the mail box at Wiltshire boule-
ward and Rampant street is an eastern
outfit which has come to Los Angeles
to operate a scheme that has worked
successfully in the largest cities of this
country.
According to the information re-
ceived from the authorities the plan of
the gang is to steal one mail box in
an outlying district, After covering
up the traces of the theft, the gang
then makes set of keys to fit the pat
tern of the lock used In the city and
are then ready to operate.
one member of the gang, attired in
gray uniform similar to that of a let
ter collector, makes the rounds of sew
eral boxes in the downtown district
during the busy hours of the day and
collects mail. With this the man work
ing in the guise of carrier at once
rushes to a waiting wagon and deliv-
ers his stolen property to another.
Rob Downtown Mail Boxes
With great haste the driver then
takes the mail to the rendezvous of the
gang and there it is steamed open. All
of the valuable contents are taken from
the letters and the letters destroyed.
Those letters which contain no valu-
ables are resealed and mailed at the
postoffice.
By mailing the unmolested letters in
the postoff1ce all suspicion is thrown
for a time on the men handling the
mail in the office. Occasionally a re-
port comes to the office that a valuable
letter posted at such and such a box
had disappeared. Again reports flood
the office of more robberies and not un-
til detectives have worked weeks and
weeks on the case does the truth final
ly come to light.
Then the gang have left and are
either in hiding or are working in other
offices. Having studied the methods
OF tne gangs the secret service agents
in Los Angeles as soon as the matter
was reported, understood the game.
With a little investigation their theo-
ries were confirmed.
Details of detectives were working on
the case in conjunt tion with Secret Ser
vice Agent Cronin last evening and
from the reports their work was sue
cessful. At any moment late in the
evening the officers were looking for
call to assist in a raid on the rem
devious of the mail box thieves.

NORMAL
Conditions Are Rapidly Be-
coming the Order at
San Francisco

San Francisco, May 2.-For the first
time since the earthquake and fire
laid this city in ruins street lights
last night cleaned through the black
mantle which has enveleped, thcascstyy
after nightfall. Next to the resump'
ton of street car service the restora
ton of electric lighting is one of the
most important indications that the
city is rapidly returning to normal
conditions.
The street car service is rapidly be
ing extended as fast as large gangs OF
men clear the streets of debris and re
place the twisted and warped rails
The cars in operation so far have been
utterly inadequate to handle the heavy
traffic and owners of almost every
kind of vehicle are having lucrative
business of hauling large numbers of
people at the rate of Is cents to and
from the ferry.
In nearly all the parks and squares
the homeless are now quite we'll pro-
vided with warm bedding and COM
fortably housed in tents. This prob
lem has been pretty we'll solved by the
arrival of more tents and blankets, but
the food question is one that is caus-
ing the authorities much worry.
