o'clock last night thief snatched a
valuable diamond from the smaller of
the two. She gave the thief over to the
charge of her companion, an athletic
girl, but when the thief found he could
not get away he gave the young wo-
man the pin and she released him.
The woman noticed a man was fol-
lowing her and was just about to tell
her companion when he snatched the
pin. The smaller of the two grappled
with the man just long enough to de-
tain him until the pretty girl with big
muscles could take hold of him.
The small woman ran for Patrolman
Harrison, but when the officer arrived
he found the other woman had allowed
her prisoner to go. She told Harrison
that she could have held onto him but
she wanted the pin and not the man.

MAYOR VETOES
CROSSINGS BILL
BELIEVES PRESENT SYSTEM
AIDS TRAFFIC
Executive Finds Scheme Of Stopping
Sixty Feet Beyond Corners Pre-
vents Delays and Accidents,
Citizens concurrIng

"Uncle George" Smith, the venerable
father Of the city council, received q
blow below the belt from Mayor Nc
Aleer yesterday when the chief execu-
tive vetoed his pet measure for COM
pelllng the street cars to stop on the
crossings instead of near the middle of
the block, as now Is the case in the
business district.
When the mayors veto was received
by the council Councilmen Blanchard
and Kern voted to sustain it, leaving
only Councilmen Smith, Harmon,
Hitler Summerland, Ford and Healy to
vote tApass it over the veto.
AS We measure bore the emergency
clause seven votes were necessary to
pass it over the negative.
Councilman Smith believed he had his
fight against the stopping of street cars
in the middle of the block won and
rested on his oars.
When he first introduced the measure
it passed the Legislative body without a
dissenting vote and Councilman Smith
thought he had every right to expect
that in the event of veto those who
voted for it,once would do so again.
! ''Well, that is about as foolish as
most Of the things McAleer does" said
Councilman Smith when the veto was
read.
Why Cars Allow Space
The stopping of the cars near the
middle of the block was done for the
purpose of relieving congested traffic,
according to the street railway COM
panies.
1t works on the theory that there is
a street car following the one that stops
and that by drawing up one car length
from the crossing the following ear
can pass the street Intersection and
discharge it's passengers at the same
time.
Councilman Smith asserted that with
other members of the council he had
stood on the street corners and counted
the cars as they passed and that in
only one case in seven was there a car
In the rear of the one that drew up
to the middle of the block. He took
his defeat on this measure calmly, how
ever, and declared he would soon take
another "crack" at the street railways.
The mayors reasons for his veto were
given in the following message:
Mayors Reasons
"I return herewith without my ap-
proval ordinance adopted by your hon
orable body at meeting of April 16, 1906,
regulating the stopping OF street cars
at street intersections in the city of Los
Angeles for the purpose of discharging
or receiving passengers for the follow
ing reasons:
81. After careful investigation I find
that in the opinion Of the crossing
patrolmen, as we'll as others, that the
present practice of stopping cars sixty
feet from the line of the cross street
greatly facilitates the handling Of
traffic.
"2. That in facilitating the handling
of traffic better safety is afforded the
public. For instance, if person alights
from car at this distance from the
cross street they do not attempt to
cross the street Immediately behind the
car, but go to the sidewalk, then to the
crossing and across the street, thereby
greatly lessening the danger.

THIS MOUNTAIN SPoUTs MUD
Staid Old Pennsylvania Volcano Pours
Forth Sudden Eruption-Sign
of Earthuuake?
Special to The Herald.


Special to The Herald.
SHENANDOAH, Pa, May 21.-Deep
as the impression of the volcanic dis
turbances on the Pacific coast has been
among the people of this section, their
interest in matters subterranean Is
chiefly taken up with the remarkable
eruption which took place on Green
mountain, ten miles north of here, on
Easter morning.
Soon after 10 o'clock that day huge
mass of clay and rock spurted out of
the side of the mountain a few yards
from the top and in a viscid torrent
rushed down the declvity, cutting n
swath 1900 feet long and at some places
fifty feet wide.
Rocks weighing hundreds of pounds
were tossed about like pebbles, and a
huge mass of mud lava" was deposited
at the bottom of the mountain where
1t hardened into grayish mass almost
as hard as cement.
The "cra ter" formed by this eruption
is about forty feet in diameter, and is
now twenty feet deep, although 1T was
apparently deeper, having been partial
ly filled by the crumbling of the edges.
From superficial appearances, the earth
was forced out by some great power,
and, whether it was caused by the
waters of a subterranean reservoir or
by real volcanic force is the question
which is now engaging the rural mind.
Henry S. Stauffer, who lives on the
opposite side of the valley, says great
noise attended the phenomenon, but
owing to mist he could not see it clearly.
An old farmer named Foos, who lives
near the scene, says he saw steam and
smoke rise from the crater"
The mountain stands alone in the
valley and is of odd formation. 1t has
three spurs, enclosing two circular
basins, having some resemblance to
craters of extinct volcanoes, and the
natives hereabouts wonder whether a

ROBBED IN POLICE
STATION S SHADOW
WOMAN is VICTIM OF MOST
CLEVER TRICK
Messenger. Boy Accosts Her, Takes
Money and Is Lead Away, Sup
posedly to Jail,
by Pal

Mrs. B. C. Culp of 2430 Pomeroy street
was held up, and robbed OF 81 in front
of the Central police station at HIS
o'clock last night.
Just as the trhief was about to leave
the scere of the crime a man Mrs.
Culp thought to be a detective took him
in charge and informed the woman that
he would take care of the thief.
Investigation a little later by the
woman revealed the fact that no ar
rests in the case had been made and
that the supposed detective was only
a pal of the robber.
The crime Is the boldest that has
been committed in Los Angeles in a
year. At the moment the robbery was
taking place there were nearly a dozen
policemen in the station and several
detectives were just going off duty.
According to Mrs. Culp she was walk
ing along West First street toward
Broadway and had just passed the
central station. When she attempted to
pass through crowd gathered on a
temporary board walk Immediately
east of the station a messenger boy
accosted her.
Takes Her Purse
beg your pardon, madam" said the
messenger, II want to see you" At
that Mrs Culp turned to allow two
men to pass and as she did so the
messenger took her purse. He cody
opened it, extracted 81 and returned the
purse.
Mrs. Culp was much excited but the
idea flashed over her that she could
tell the police and have them capture
the messenger before he could get
away, when a man she supposed was a
detective interfered. Come with me"
said the supposed officer, pulling the
thief along toward the station.
The woman was about to follow them
when the supposed officer turned to the
woman and said: I'm give you all that
you are looking for, young woman
That frightened Mrs. Culp. She waited
until the man and the boy had entered
the station and then rushed for a pro-
tector
A few finutes later the woman
reached the central station in company
with friend, but to her chagrin she
found that no messenger had been ar
rested.
Mrs. Culp is positive that she can
identify the young man who took her
money.

MRS. BRADFORD SAYS HE GAVE
HER WRONG DRUG

careIessness

Did May Bradford receive bl-chlor-
ide of mercury when she asked for NOR
phine at the Angelus pharmacy, 212
West Second street, on April 18th?
Did ]. s. Leitch, one of the managers
of the pharmacy, forget to label the
drug which he sold to her?
These two questions are Of vital in
terest to the Angelus pharmacy and to
May Bradford, formerly Of San Pedro,
but now an invalid in the county hos
pital.
Mrs. Bradford AYERS that she has been
an invalid since April 20, and asserts s
that the cause of her sickness was an
injection of bi-chloride of mercury,
which she says was sold to her at the
Angelus pharmacy by Mr.. Leitch when
she asked him for morphine

Mrs. Bradford further states that she
has been a regular customer at the
Angelus pharmacy and that she has
purchased morphine there on different
occasions During most of this time
which she says she has been trading
there she has taken morphine inter
nally. 1t was suggested to her. so she
says, that 1t was preferable to tak-
the drug as an injection. and that in
view Of this hypodermic syringe was
given to her by the Angelus pharmacy.

tion is the result.
ITO my recollection I have never
seen the woman before"

in the Union Trust building the woman
came Immediately after the injection,

Displays a Box

"She showed me round box, in
which, she says, mercury was sold to
her at the Angelus pharmacy instead of
morphine. The box was not labeled
as poison nor mercury. analyzed it
and found it to be bi-chloride of mer-
curry.
"The woman told me that she had
been using morphine to some extent,
but she had not been taking it. by in
lection, and that she was given hy-
podermic syringe at the Angelus phar-
macy and advised to use the morphine
as an injection. She is bright little
woman, and seemed to me to be honest
in her statements to me-"
DIR. w. Murray Johnston, who saw
the woman soon after her first call at
DR.. Byington's Office, says that the
woman is a morphine habitue and that
her arm was not badly poisoned, in
fact so little that she should not have
been made sick at all. He says the
box was labeled "by-chloride of mer-
curry tablets"
John w. Mitchell, attorney for J. c.
Leitch, and also interested in the drug
store, said yesterday: without any
reference to the attorneys of Mrs.
Bradford, who are highly reputable, L
say this is a case which should be
dropped, as believe it is not prompted
by right motives"
H. F. Schinker, one of the clerks in
the Angelus pharmacy, said: Il was
in the office when the woman returned
and told us that she had been poisoned.
I looked at the box and it was labeled
correctly as mercury tablets. Dr.. By
