MERE LAD CAUGHT
STEALING DIAMOND
WALDO RICHARDS ACCUSED OF
PURL0INING STONES
Son Of Excellent Parents, Himself in
Employ Of Big Firm, Apparently
Used His Work as Cloak
for Robbery
Pasadena Agency.
n North Raymond Avenue,
Phones: Sunset 1907. Home 212h


PASADENA, April 12.-Admitting
that he is guilty Of several diamond
robberies, according to stories told the
police, Waldo Richards, aged only 10
years, curtain hanger for the Grand
Rapids Furniture company Of this city,
is in the city Jail tonight with a felony
charge against his name.
The young man is directly accused
of having stolen q diamond valued at
SIS from r. V. Hovey of 345 Lincoln
this crime and also to have admitted
having stolen diamond, some money,
some cigars and briar pipe from the
Goodyear family of South Grand ave-
nue.; a gold ring set with an opal sur
rounded by diamonds from the Wage
ner family Of 324 FL Molino avenue: a
gold ring set with twelve diamonds
from DIR. Paul Deford; a number Of
small valuables from 457 South Madi-
son avenue and an unset diamond from
q house on North Moline avenue.
1t is stated that the young mans
method was to go to a house on bust-
ness for the firm for which he hung
curtains and then annex any valuables
he could find. In the Hovey case, in
which complaint has been made, he is
accused of having pried out the dia-
mond and left the setting behind him.
Richards is said to have taken this
diamond to a jeweler on North Fair
Oaks avenue and there to have left it
for several days. 1t was through this
fact that he was suspected and ar
rested by Chief of Police Pinkham and
Police Detective Coping. Richards
was brought to the station by Coping,
and Chief Pinkham says that the young
man broke down and confessed in a
very few minutes under cross-examin-
alton.
Most of the articles taken have been
located but in all the cases the owners
have not yet had the goods returned,
as all the names of the losers are not
known to the police. 1t is said that the
young man stole to give presents to
young women.
Richards comes of a good family and
has heretofore Lad a good reputation
in Pasadena. His mother is an es-
timable woman, living on Del Mar
street, and his early training was of the
best. He has gone with the better class
of young people and many will be
greatly shocked to learn of his arrest
on such serious charge.

WORK ON BREAKWATER
BEGINS WITH SUBWAY
Special to The Herald.

VENICE, April 12.-"Work on the
construction of Abbot Kinney's pro-
posed $4,000 900 breakwater is to be be-
gun simultaneously with the breaking
of ground by the Los Angeles-Pac1flc
Railway company for the carrying out
of it's announced plans to establish
subway service from Los Angeles to
this point"
The above statement was made to-
day by Manager Hanna of the Abbot
Kinney company and dispels the feel
ing of uncertainty that has recently
been manifest by we'll informed citizens
as to Mr.. Kinney's intentions in the
matter, the charge that he had aban-
doned the idea of building the break
water having been openly made in some
quarters. Not only will the project be
realized, Mr.. Hanna stated, but 1t will
embody many costly features not
brought out in the rough drawings that
the public has had access to.
Los Angeles architects are now work.
ing on plans for the proposed ocean
front bath house structure which, ac-
cording to the expectations of the Kin
ney company officials, is to be in readi-
ness to do business by July 1. The
building is to be located on the beach
between Horizon and Zephr avenues,
and will, 1t Is stated, be the most mag
nificent and costly structure in Venice

force with which the colliding car struck
the other.
Car Badly Wrecked
On the Boyle Heights car, which was
in charge Of Conductor A. G. Allison
and Motorman Wentworth, there was
no damage done except the breaking
of the fender and shattering of glass.
But the rear of the West Adams car
was badly wrecked, glass shattered and
the trucks put out of commission.
Conductor Day and Motorman Nc
Cam of the wrecked car proved them
selves self-possessed and cool in an
emergency. They helped the passen-
gers to alight from the front end of the
car and cared for the only one seriously
injured On the open end In the rear
were j. 10. Martin, living at West
Adams and MontclaiT streets, and
Samuel G.. Austin, 1902 Budlong ave-
nue.. Martin was thrown into the aisle
and sustained painful lacerations on
the head. Austin half turned as he saw
the inevitable collision and chung to
one of the seats, but was thrown
against the side, sustaining painful con-
tusions on the left leg.
In the inside of the car were only
two passengers, G. b.. Monk and Miss
Lotta Edmunds of 2348 West Twenty
seventh street. Both were thrown across
the aisle Of the car against the seats.
Mr.. Monk sustained a badly bruised
head and Miss Edmunds was injured
on the left leg. Four passengers on the
front end of the car escaped injury.
Miss Edmunds showed great presence
of mind, however, and did not scream
nor faint, but hobbled out of the front
end of the car with the assistance Of
her escort.
A rather curious incident connected
with the collision was the unexplained
reason for changing seats on the part Of
Mr.. Austin. When he boarded the car
he sat alone on the right side of the
car and would have sustained the full
force Of the collision If he had re-
mained there. But for some reason
obscure to him he changed his seat
while the car was passing along Hill
street and thus avoided what might
have been a serious accident.
The Boyle Heights train crew re-
| fused to talk about the accident, but
| the motorman is reported as saying to
his conductor that he thought he had
reached Broadway instead of Hill
street.
1t is expected that the officials Of
the company will ask him today to
explain why he stopped his car at the
crossing and then proceeded to send
his coach across the intersecting street
If he believed it was Broadway.

WOMAN CAPTURES
TUNA WITH HANDS
FAIR BATHER BATTLES WITH
MONSTER FISH
Rolls II Over and Over In the Surf by
Help Of Waves and stuns 1t
with a Blow from
Club

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, April ia leaping
tuna, five feet three inches long and
Weighing 151 pounds, was captured in
the surf shortly after o'clock this
morning by Miss A. M. Garlick, opera
tor in the local office of the Western
Union Telegraph company, and, after
a lively tilt, was towed high and dry
upon the sand and killed. Fish dealers
who took it to their market on the
outer wharf said it was the largest
tuna ever brought upon the pier.
Miss Garlick was just entering the
water at the foot of Elm avenue to
take her customary early morning dip
in the blue, when her attention was at
tracted by a great Topping and thrash
ing about in the water few yards be-
low. She seized a stick and, as the
waves came in, rolled the huge fish over
and over toward the shore. The tuna
was in such shallow water 1t could not
swim, but it spluttered wildly about,
splaShing water all over Miss Garl1ck.
Her hands were cut in the struggle
with the monster, but finally by re-
peated raps over the head with her
stick she quieted 1t.
Frank Leeper furniture dealer,
happened along about this time, com
ing to take his morning bath, and he
assisted Miss Garlick in dragging the
tuna up out of the water
Louis Youngmark and r. A. Beachler,
who have fish market on the pier,
hung the tuna up on nall in front
of their shop, where it has been gazed
upon today by hundreds of people. They
and other old-time fishermen said that
no larger tuna had ever been seen upon
the wharf.
Both tunas and whales often get
into shallow water and become bewil-
dered," said Youngmark "They are
unable to get out and founder about
! until they get such q quantity of SAND
in their gills that it results in weaken
ing them and finally causing theil
death This fish had not been in the
surf very long, judging from the COM
motion he caused"

EXPORTS OF CANNED
GOODS FALLING OFF
Special to The Herald.


WASHINGTON, April 12.-Figurcs
just issued by the department of COM
merce and labor show that the sales
abroad of canned meats have fallen off
enormously. During the seven months
ended February the exports amounted
to $4,S20,289, about so per cent less than
during the same period of the previous
year.
This is believed to be due largely to
the recent agitation, and the govern
ment is somewhat worried over this re-
markable falling off in this especial
branch of its export trade That the
administration believes something
should be done to check this unsatis-
factory condition abroad is evidenced
in the fact that President Roosevelt has
agreed to open the Packers exposition,
which is to be held at the Coliseum in
Chicago May 1.
Efforts are now making to have prac-
tically all the foreign representatives
here attend the exposition to see for
themselves the processes of meat pack
ing and also the packing of other foods
dairy, cereal, vegetable and fruit.
The packers have reached the con-
clusion that the best way to meet the
criticism is to take the public into their
confidence, and by actual demonStra-
tion show that their methods now are
beyond reproach.
Not only packers and consumers will
receive the benefit of this publicity, but
the growers of beef, pork, vegetables,
fruit and grain, and the dairymen also
will share in the good effects of the
exposition.
