GIRL IS KILLED

MISS JULIA HARNETT MEETS

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, May 23.-The victim
of an explosion which burned nearly
every vestige of clothing from her body,
Miss Julia Caroline Harnett, 18 years
old, a daughter of one of the pioneer
families of this city and a member of
last years high school graduating class,
died at $50 o'clock tonight at the Long
Beach hospital. Her body was burned
from her head to her ankles, and DIR. e.
R. Harvey, who was called to attend
her, stated shortly after the accident
that the girl could not recover.
That Miss Harnett was not almost
instantly killed was due probably to the
timely intervention of her mother, Mrs.
e. T. Harnett, who threw a quilt about
her and with the assistance of another
daughter, Miss Josephine, extinguished
the flames. Mrs. Harnett was not in
jured, but Miss Josephine's hands were
both badly burned.
The explosion which caused Miss Har-
nett's death was an unusual one. She
had started a fire in the kitchen stove
and poured kerosene upon IL from a can
which had stood near the range. There
was but little oil in the can and the re-
ceptacle bad filed with gas. This gas
exploded, bursting the can, and the
flames leaped quickly to the girls light
gown.
Miss Harnett was the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. E. T. Harnett, who came to
Long Beach eighteen years ago from
England. Harnett is manager for the
Long Beach Milling company. He went
to Palamar recently for a vacation. He
was notified of the accident by tele-
graph this morning and started foi
home at once.

DIAMOND BROKER
MAKES BIC HAUL
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 23.-Half dozen
wealthy firms in the Maiden Lane dis
trict are looking for w. Edward Boeck,
a diamond broker, to give an account
ing of gems of great value entrusted
to him on memoranda and which he
secured to dispose of to alleged
wealthy clients.
The exact value of jewelry so secured
by Boeck is not definitely known be-
cause of the unwillingness of some Of
the firms to discuss the transaction at
this time, but estimates in the jewelry
establishment place their value at from
100000 to $250,000.
Boeci; had office room at 40 Broad
way, but had not been seen for over
a week He lived in splendid style at
an uptown club, but inquiries showed
that he had absented himself from his
rooms for some days. Some of the
firms who entrusted him with the valu-
ables have called the attention of the
grand jury to the matter and that body
is investigating the cases.
Boeck, who is a big, handsome man,
was very successful in selling gems,
according to the stories told in the
jewelry district. He made many big
and profitable sales, gained the conf
dence and patronage of wealthy per-
sons and for that reason found no diff
flculty in securing jewels of value on
simple memoranda.
