THREE MEN HAVE TROUBLE
Police Say Too Much Whisky Is
Cause Of Injuries Of
Victims

j. o. Stewart, a mining man, was
run down by a car on North Main
street and severely cut on the head.
His wounds were dressed in the re-
ceiving hospital and later he was
locked up in the jail. Five days pre-
viously Stewart was arrested for

$500 in a money belt. Yesterday only
S21 remained.

RAILWAY WORLD
RATE WAR AGAIN THREATENED
IN THE EAST
Passenger Traffic Officials Resent the
Breaking Of $1a Agreement Be-
tween Minneapolis and New
York City

When the Grand Trunk and Wabash
cut the fare from Chicago to New York
city 50 passenger rate war was threat
ened in the eastern and middle states,
but did not materialize, because no
action was taken by the other lines.
Fresh fuel has now been fed to the
smoldering embers by the four lines,
that have connection with steamboat
lines from Minneapolis to New York
city and a passenger rate war seems
imminent.
The $18 from Minneapolis to New
York, by way of Chicago and Montreal,
has now become effective through the
Niagara frontier. AS the result Of an
investigation it was learned that busi-
ness, instead of going by the way of
Chicago and Montreal, was turned over
to the Nickel Plate at Chicago and then
to the West Shore, which took passen-
gers to New York by way of the Mag
ara frontier
A commotion has been caused among
the passenger officials by the action OF
the lines breaking the $18 agreement.
The steamboat proposition has been a
tender one for some time and the recent
cutting of rates by the 500 line and
other disagreements promise to precipi-
tate lively rate war.

Mlxed-AssaiIant Says He Was
AvengIng an Insult to
His Wife

Frank Abrams shot Mrs. Herbert
Findlay and her son Hodsey, slightly
wounding them, while they were stand
ing in front of their home, 1910 Vic
toria street, last night about o'clock.
According to the police, the trouble
arose because Findlay demanded 81
of Mrs Abrams, who, he claimed,
owed him this sum.
Having called the Findlay family
out in their front yard Abrams is said
to have declared that he would inn
mediately settle the debt. With that
Abrams pulled a large revolver from
his hip pocket and began to shoot, 1t
is said
After emptying his revolver at the
Findlays, Adams fled to his home at
1918 Wall street, where he was arrest
ed an hour later by Detective McKen-
zie and Officer Mack. Abrams is held
in the city Jail on a charge Of attempt
to murder.
Two of the shots fired by Abrams
took effect. One passed through the
fleshy part of Mrs. Findlay's arm, just
above the elbow. Another shot passed
through the left leg of the lad. DIR.
J. L. Jones attended the injured par
ties.
Findlay claims that he loaned Mrs.
Abrams 81 on Saturday and that when
he tried to collect the money they be-
came involved in trouble. Abrams ad-
mits having gone to the Findlay home
to shoot Findlay, but says that the
trouble was due to attentions paid to
his wife by Findlay.

TRAINING SCHOOL MAY QUIT

President Nav Be Ousted

In the purchase of the building of
the training school for Christian work.
ers at III South Figueroa street by
William Douglas and w. Brown, an
other chapter in the disturbance which
recently lowered over the Los Angeles
Friends church has been closed.
The annual election of officers of the
school will be held May 20 and it is
expected that I. H. Cammack. who
created the trouble, will be relieved
of his office as president, and 1t is the
opinion of many that the school, which
has not been a financial success, will
be disbanded
Messrs, Douglas and Brown paid
$4,000 for the building, which they will
convert into a lodging house. Eight
thousand dollars of this sum will pay
off the mortgage and the remaining
amount will go to the board OF trus-
tees, the disposal of which has not
been decided upon.
The case of Mr.. Cammack is still be-
fore the judiciary committee and In all
probability will be returned to the
local church for settlement.

ARRESTED FOR TAKING KNIFE

Robert Eaton was arrested by Patrol

Broadway last evening on the charge
of stealing a penknife. From what
could be ascertained from the police,
the lad is believed to be a member OF
the gang OF boys who have been loot
ing the downtown stores. Whether he
is a member OF the gang of boy bandits
for whom the police are searching could
not be learned from the boy Young
Eaton is about 12 years old and has no
appearance of a criminal. The boy re-
sides at 6341a South Grand avenue.
In the past few weeks the police have
arrested several lads for petty thefts.
They say there seems to be a reign OF

BELIEVE
WOMAN IS DEAD
STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS IN
ALGERIA CASE
William Ward Exonerated--Dete
at Work on Case Make piscov-
cries but Refuse to
Talk

Any connection that William Ward
was supposed to have with the alleged
murder of Mrs. William Algeria has
been proven a false theory, accord
ing to Detective Talamantes. Within
the next few days, however, the police
say that they will have some startling
information to make public.
That Mrs. Algeria was murdered is
now a generally accepted conclusion
in police circles. The young woman
disappeared from her home, 413 Lake
Shore road, April 30, about o'clock
in the evening. She told her father
in-law that she was going out on the
back porch to get drink of water.
That was the last seen of her.
For the first few days the case was
looked upon by all concerned as a
suicide. But little heed was paid to
1t until Sunday night, when Algeria
made statements to the police that
led to the murder theory.
Make Discoveries
Immediately the police detailed two
detectives to work in conjunction with
Talamantes on the case. Yesterday it
became known that the men had made
some startling discoveries and it was
practically admitted that the case had
evolved into a murder.
So much secrecy is being thrown
about the work of the detectives that
1t strengthens the rumor that the case
is a murder and that the police have
made certain of this fact. Detective
Talamantes does not deny that the
case is a DrObahIe murder
Ward, the man who was connected
for time with the mysterious disap-
pearance, was employed by Algeria
for five years. He left the city about
the time Mrs. Algeria disappeared 1t
was because Algeria dismissed Ward
from his service that the police thought
that he might have been connected
with the case. 1t now appears that
Ward was in Santa Barbara two days
before the woman was spirited away
and had not been out of that city.

HOLD UP AND ROB PEDDLERs

Daring highwaymen held up and
robbed Charles Grossn-an and H.
Simon Of SIS yesterday morning at
Lemon, a small station two miles this
side of Pomona. After the three had
begged food and tobacco from Gross
man and his partner, two of them drew
guns on the peddlers and covered them
while the third rihed their pockets.
Grossman and Simon arrived in Los
Angeles last evening and went directly
to the central police station, where
they reported the bold robbery. They
were unable to give any detailed de-
scription of the men. The Los Angeles
officers have notified all surrounding
towns
