CHARGE L. A.-PACIFlC WITH
MAINTAINING NUISANCE
SERVICE OF COMPLAINT is
WITHHELD
President of Road Promises to Re-
move Piles of Rubbish on Sunset
Boulevard - Peculiar Action of
Prosecutors Office

complaint charging E. p. Clark,
president of the Los Angeles-Pacific
Railway company, with maintaining a
public nuisance was issued yesterday
by Assistant City Prosecutor Eddie.
The charge against President Clark
was allowing refuse to accumulate on
sidewalk on Sunset boulevard near
Bolyston street.
Mr.. Eddie called up the president of
the railway before serving the war
rant of arrest and President Clark
hastily assured the assistant city
prosecutor that he would have the side
walk cleaned at once. The serving of
the warrant of arrest was held in
abeyance until the city prosecutoEs
office was informed that workmen were
busy removing a quantity of dirt and
refuse that had accumulated upon the
public sidewalk on Sunset boulevard.
THE reason for our action was the
dilatory policy pursued by Mr.. Clark
said Deputy City Prosecutor Eddie.
For several weeks Mr.. Clark neglected
to remove a lot of dirt and rubbish that
made it we'll nigh impossible for one to
use the sidewalk. Several notices were
served on him but he paid no attention
TO them. Today / issued complaint
charging a violation Of a city ordi-
nance and he would have been arrested
on warrant had he not shown an i'm
mediate inclination to comply with the
terms of the city ordnance"
Whatever complaints have been
heretofore made to the city prosecutor's
Office of violations of city ordinances
the persons so charged were proceeded
against at once.

CHARGES MAN WITH
THREATS TO KILL HIM
CIGAR DEALER MAKES THE COM.
PLANT
James Hale Locked Up After M. Ber-
kowitz Makes Hasty Trip to the
Police Station to Ask for Pro-
lection

James Hale. proprietor of the Boston
rooming house, 300 West Second street,
was arrested yesterday on a warrant
charging him with threatening to kill
M. Berkowitz, a cigar dealer at 907
West Second street.
Berkowitz told the deputy district
attorney that on Sunday Hale was very
drunk and threatened to shoot him be-
cause of remarks made about the char
acter of the house.
Hale came down stairs from his room
ing house and called the cigar man
vile names and said he would shoot
him as soon as he could secure his
gun, according to the story told to the
police. Berkowitz said he did not
stand on ceremony but ran down to
Broadway and informed an officer.
Yesterday Berkowitz swore to COM
plant against Hale who was found at
the Boston. Hale was locked up in the
city jail and will be arraigned this
morning.
The Boston is said by, the police to
be a house of bad reputation and some
time ago it was raided by officer In
gram, dressed in woman's attire.
The detective secured information as
to the sale of liquor and Hale was
fined several hundred dollars on the
charge of selling liquor without a
license.
The police state that the Boston is
still under surveillance because of the
character Of its business.

RAILROAD MEN
WAR ON TRAMPS
BECOME DEPUTY SHERIFFS
FOR PROTECTION
In Arms Because Of Recent Shooting
Of Brakeman Frank Erickson,
Who, Though Seriously ln-
Jured, May Recover

| AS a result of the recent shooting Of
Frank Erickson, brakeman for the
Southern Pacific, a number Of railroad
men on roads in the vicinity of Los
Angeles have organized for protection
Several of them were sworn in as off,
GERS yesterday.
Erickson was shot by n negro tramp
named Wilcox near Saugus station sew
eral days ago and is now in serious
condition at the Sisters hospital The
negro is being hunted through the
brush country of the Antelope valley.
According to the story told by the
wounded man. he ordered three negroes
off his train, and when they refused and
he started toward them one drew a re-
volver and fired at him, the bullet
piercing his liver.
The wounded man has three brothers.
and they with third railroad man
were sworn in as deputy sheriffs yester-
day.
Tramps Constant Menace
For the past score of years the west
ern tramps have been q constant mem
ace to the railroad men and particu-
larly to the brakemen, whose duty 1t is
to keep them off the train. Many train
men have been shot and others stabbed
by the tramps, who fight upon the
slightest provocation. Railroad records
show that scores of trainmen have been
injured, some of them killed, by tramps
on the western roads.
The Erickson family, all the members
of which are railroad men, have suf-
fered at the hands OF the tramps. The
shooting of Frank Erickson several
daXs, on Uue the most rapaOt acpidant
in the family. One of the older broth
ers while working on a western road
about two years ago, ordered a MeXi-
can tramp to leave the train near
Saugus. The man refused and Erick-
son was compelled to use force. There
was no alternative but to throw the
tramp off, especially since the travel
ing officials of the road were on the
train. So Erickson approached the
Mexican and suggested that he leave.
Stabbed by Mexican
The Mexican rolled over on one side,
at the same time drawing knife and
plunging the weapon through Ericl-
sons thigh. He stabbed the trainman
several times in the leg before jumping
from the train and taking to the brush.
Other members of the family have
had experiences with tramps, as have
had hundreds of other railroad men.
From now on it is an understood thing
among the southwestern railroad men
that tra1nps will receive very little
polite treatment.
Hope is still entertained of Frank
Erickson's recovery from his wound.
Physicians state that the mans cour-
age and self reliance have thus far
brought him through the perils of
shock. His strong constitution may
save his life.

Subscriptions to the Young Mems
Christian association building fund
continue to come in, and while the total
is not growing quite so rapidly as was
the case before the earthquake in San
francisco. a fair rate of gain is being
shown from day to day. Up to O'Clock
last evening $22S,175 had been received
in pledges leaving a balance of $121,-
S25 still to be raised. There are still
two weeks in which to make up this
deficiency. and If hard and aggressive
work on the part of the canVassing
committee counts for anything the to-
tai of $350,000 required will be in hand
when the time limit expires at 10:30
o'clock the evening of May 81.
Young Men Subscribe
The membership committee has
turned in additional pledges amount
ing to $3.50. making the total sum
raised by this committee $13,040. This
represents for the most part subscrip-
tions from the young men of the city,
many of whom are not yet members of
the association. This committee has
done an immense amount of hard work
the total subscriptions reported by 1t
being made up of pledges from about
400 persons. AS these pledges come
largely from young men and boys
working on moderate salaries, the
amounts in most cases necessarily are
small, and it frequently takes a good
many of them to make up $100.
Results from the letter canvass are
so far in excess Of $4,000, and although
the first letters were sent out April IA
pledges continue to come in with every
mail. There has not been a day since
the San Francisco earthquake in which
at least 500 has not been received, and
usually the amounts have been much
larger.

SELECTS FINERY
FOR SHERIFF
DECLARES HERSELF A COUNTY
/. OFFICIALS DAUGHTER
Goes to Jail in Search of Supposed
Parent-Said to Be Suffering
From Slight Mental
Derangement

Declaring that she was Sheriff
Whites daughter and that she had
been appointed to buy clothing for him
young woman yesterday appeared at
a well known clothing house and pro-
ceeded to select a long list of articles OF
wearing apparel to be sent to the sher-
ifs house.
my name is Minnie Thompson and
1 live on Gless street." announced the
young woman, as she marched into the
clothing house.
Il was called up by phone this morn
ing and told to select some clothing for
Sheriff White, who is my father, and
l want the things sent out to his home
The girl showed not the slightest
trace of nervousness as she walked UP
and down the aisles and proceeded to
select neckties, shirts, collars, vests
and everything Imaginable in the
haberdashery line.
The clerk became suspicious when the
girl selected the neckties. 1t is we'll
known fact that Sheriff White prefers
baby blue and light pink neckties to
match the trimmings on his gold star,
so that when the young woman selected
a number of royal purple neck harness
and added thereto a few greens and
reds with dash of yellow, the clerk
began to think things.
The sheriff's idea of the dainty and
delicate in the shirt line further re-
ceived a severe jolt when his self-ap-
pointed relative selected the loudest,
liVeliest green shirt she could find
and completed the bill with pink socks,
orange cuffs, red soft collars and few
other rainbow colors.
Sheriff Appears
She told where the goods should be de-
liVnTnl nf he CT ho
coming suspicious, suggested that she
find the sheriff so that he could con-
firm the order. She left the establish
ment in company with a clerk and
the two went to the county Jail on a
search for White.
In the meantime White ambled down
Spring street and went into the cloth
ing store to buy pair of suspenders.
He was asked about his daughter and
nearly tainted when he looked over the
colorful list Of furnishings prepared for
him. He met the girl as she returned to
the store and the two went to the
county jail
After being questioned the girl
stated that she had no parents and
was living on Gless street with a wo-
man whose name she could not remem-
ber. She stated that she had been
employed in restaurant since her ar
rival here from st. Louis several
months ago.
In explaining her conduct she said
that she had taken up a telephone yes
terday morning, intending to call up a
friend, and that she had heard someone
tell her to order certain articles OF
clothing for Sheriff White.
Following an investigation into The
case the sheriff learned that the young
woman is the daughter of one of the
ness had probably caused her TO wander
away from her home. She is said to be
suffering firm temporary mental alb
beration.

FINDS RICHES In
FROZEN ALASKA
PLUCKY WOMAN BRAVES PERILs S
OF ARCTIC
Nurses Stranger Who Gives Her Inter-
est in Paying Claim as Remuner-
alton for Services-Lives
Now in Los Angeles

little woman with a quiet voice, a
firm chin and pair of piercing blue
eyes, a train of four splendid Eskimo
dogs and a shop full of Alaska curios
at the corner of Fourth street and
Central avenue is attracting more at
tention than anything else in that
neighborhood at present.
Few who see the woman know her
history and it is one that cannot be
duplicated by any woman in America.
She is Mrs. Marie Riedeselle. the first
white woman to brave the hardships
of the Klondike in the search for gold.
For seven years she fought the fight
against the elements that many strong
men have been unable to stand before,
and now she has a neat little fortune
and a paying claim that is the envy of
many OF her brother miners.
Eight years ago Mrs. Riedeselle made
her first trip to Alaska. She was an
osteopathic physician, living in New
York, when she first decided to try her
luck at mining. From there she went
to Seattle and purchased a miners out
fit Eskimo dogs and the few other bare
necessities. For two years she lived at
Dawson City, nursing, doctoring and
studying, but without getting nearer
to the gold mine.
Goes to Nome
Il determined that 1 must get to
Nome at all COSTS" she said in recount
ing her experiences last night. IT got
to Nome and there my chance came. I
am an osteopath and I heard of a
young fellow who was supposed to be
dying with pneumonia. His partner
had done all he could for him, but had
failed to relieve his suffering. I ar
ITTC in
nursed him back to health. Out of
gratitude they took me into partner
ship in claim they had just staked
out in Eldorado sixty miles from Nome
THE hardships of that winter were
terrible. Many times we had nothing
to eat for days at time. One partner
was sick and the other far away from
us most of the time. We had years Of
hard work. but we found rich claim
and am back in civilization for a
time. My visit here is to be brief, as
one has to fight always for that which
he would keep in Alaska, and some Of
my property is now in litigation"
Home In Connecticut
Mrs. Riedeselle owns a beautiful
home in Connecticut, but decided that
Los Angeles would be nearer to the
place where most of her interests are
cenleIeu, SO Sne determined to come
here. All her curios and furniture We're
shipped to her and now she finds tha,
If she would keep what she has in
Alaska she must always be there to
to protect it. She says her treasures
are not the kind which can be kept in
Alaska, so she is going to dispose of
them and then return to fight her
battles.
The dogs are splendid animals and
her constant companions. For weeks
at time she has depended solely upon
them for friendship In the collection
is a suit which she treasures as the
finest ever seen i'm Alaska. II consists
of long coat or "parka" made of REIN
deer skin, with hood and cuffs of longer
fur and border of tiny squares of
light and dark furs forming an Indian
pattern, and pair of deerskin trou-
sers and matelocks made in Siberia
from finest skin
