POL tES MOVED DOWN
BY STREET CAR
oiI-Saturated Gunnysack Throws from
the Track Fast Moving Coach
on the Hollywood SUBJ
urban Line

Derailed by an oil saturated gunny-
sack on the track just east of Sanborn
junction at o'clock last night, an in
ward bound Hollywood car plunged be-
tween the tracks and moved down two
huge poles before the motorman could
bring the coach to a stop.
Although badly shaken and bruised,
none Of the passengers sustained seri-
Gus injury.
After the car came to a standstill the
frightened passengers were almost
thrown into panic by the pyrotechnic
display furnished by the trolley wire
which fell on the track.
heavy iron cross arm from one of
the poles fell on rail and the 500 volt
current in the wire quickly fused the
whole contact point into white hot
mass of metal. The cross arm was
welded to the rail so tightly that it was
removed with great difficulty. The
cracking and swapping of the I'M
chained electricity struck terror to the
already frightened passengers, who
hastily sought safety on the en-
bankment.
The car was thrown across both the
tracks so that the evening traffic to

The car was running at a high rate
of speed on a slight down grade at the
time the accident occurred. The motor

piled the brake, but at the instant the
car struck the sack and was thrown

WOMAN IN YEARS
CHILD IN MIND
Judge Gives Impression of Character
of Woman Who Claims That
Her Husband Induced Her
to Steal

IT am going to continue this case un-
til learn more about this woman. She
is charged with burglary, but 1 do not
believe she is responsible. 1 believe
this womans mind ceased to develop
after she was years of age, and do
not think she knows the difference be-
tween right and wrong"
With these words Police Justice
Frederickson yesterday continued the
case against Mrs. Sidney Hendricks,
charged with burglary, until March IL,
and in the meantime detectives will be
instructed to learn the whereabouts Of
her husband and have him on hand at
that day to give testimony in regard to
his wifes actual condition.
According to the testimony, Mrs
Hendricks stole some clothing and three
rings from Miss Bessie Bower, 225
South Figueroa street.
Mrs. Hendricks testified she came to
California two years ago with her
mother and was married shortly after
ward. Her mother returned to the east
and from that time Hendricks Is said
to have mistreated his wife, and forced
her to live in a house of Ill repute. while
he lived on her earnings. Mrs. Hens
bricks claims her husband suggested
that she steal the things from Miss
Bower, and beat her because she re-
fused to pawn the articles.
The case was postponed until March

by that time her husband can be found

WANTS SLICE Of
CHIEF KERN FUND
INF0RMER TURNS UP" FOUR
CROOKS FOR PAY
Declares Capt. Broadhead offered Only
So for Tips, Though They Were
Worth Twelve Times as
Much

One man who read of Chief Kern's
new $4OO a month secret service fund
Is anxious for cat of the melon. He
wrote the police board yesterday to
that effect in demanding pay for turn
Ing informer.
The letter Is as follows:
ION January % l gave your Captain
Broadhead information that enabled
him to arrest and convict "A white man
who had been selling Chinese lottery
tickets for months. Captain Broadhead
promised If he caught the man to pay
me what such information would be
worth.
ION Tuesday night, February 5, his
men arrested this white man and the
next day he was sentenced by tie judge
to sixty days in the chain gang.
"wednesday night, February 3, also
phoned central station to send an officer
to the New Turner Hall saloon, on Main
street, and | would point out three
crooks who had 1T all framed up to
rob drunk. Craig and Mcnamara
came down to the saloon and saw the
gang take the drunk out of the saloon.
The officers followed them out and ar
rested the gang.
II called on Chief Kern the next day
at p. m. and he said, That is good
work. and said that he had given
Captain Broadhead n fund to pay for
such kind of service.
"I called on Captain Broadhead the
same day at o'clock for my money.
He was inclined to make light of the
whole matter, but finally said If 1 want
ed 50 he would hand me that. l took
it under protest, and 1 have been trying
ever since to get what | ought to get
for putting Captain Broadhead onto
criminal that all his force could not
detect, though the criminal had been
operating for monthe.
|. 1.-The fine in such q case would have
been at least 500 had the judge imposed
fine, and think 25 per cent of that
sum is little enough, all things con-
sidered, for my work in assisting the
police to catch four crooks, who, 1t is
safe to say, would never have been
caught but for me.
"I see the council yesterday placed
S40O at Chief Kern's disposal for just
such work as 1 did, and I hope you
will see your way clear to have an
order sent to me on the fund for $25,
because / have earned it. Yours,
JOHN SHELDON"
The board referred the request to the
chief with power to act.

BOOSTER FOR LOS ANGELES
is INDIANA MAN

George T. Dinwiddie of indianapolis.
Ind, his wife and mother are at the
Westminster. Mr.. Dinwidde is the
owner of large department store in
the easten crty and he is also largely
interested with his brothers in cattle
ranch in Northern Wyoming. For ten
years he and his family have occupied
the same suite at the Westminster
during part of each winter, and it
would be difficult to find a better
booster for Southern California than
Mr.. Dinwiddie. He is vice chairman of
the Republican state central commit
tee of Indiana and he takes an active
part in politics.
II have been to Florida, to Mexico
and every other place that is reputed to
be good winter resort, and there is
none that can compare with Los An
geles," said he.
"The climate is all that any but a
dyspeptic old crank could wish, and
one can be in the heart of a thriving
city and at the same time have the
beaches within a few minutes ride,
the large citrus ranches close at hand,
the mountains within an easy distance
and everything else agreeable.
1.-THE eyes of easterners are turned to
Los Angeles more than to any other
city in the land and it is rare man
who doesn't want to go to Los An
geles." ,

YOUTHS SUSPECTED OF
R0BBING EMPLOYERS
SEVEN YOUNG MEN PLACED UN-
DER ARREST
They May Be Compelled to Answer a
Charge of Stealing Thousands of
Dollars Worth of Goods from the
Braun Wholesale Drug Company

Charged with being implicated in the
theft of thousands Of dollars worth of
valuable rubber and leather goods, per-
fumes, surgical instruments and toilet
sets, seven young men employed by F.
w. Braun company, wholesale drug
gists, sol and sos North Main street. are
at the police station, booked as being
held on suspicion.
The men under arrest are Charles
Carroll, Warren Platt, Roy Sisk, Dick
Mcintosh, Il. S. Harris, w. A. Fryes
and A. w. Greenbaum.
According to the police these young
men have been engaged in the store in
different capacities during the last two
years. 1t is said the thefts have been
going on all that time and the boys are
suspected of having formed a gang for
the purpose of robbing their employers
and disposing of the goods.
So far valuable surgical sets and a
large amount of rubber goods, totaling
about $1,000, have been recovered and
the officers claim these goods were
found secreted among the rooms Of each
of the seven young men.
About a month ago the managers of
the drug company became convinced
that a great amount of goods was being
stolen from the store by employees and
the police were notified. Patrolmen In
gram and Beaumont were then detailed
on the case, and after four weeks of
hard work they decided that they had a
case against the young men who were
arrested and the officers placed several
under arrest yesterday morning These
men are said to have confessed at the
station and to have implicated the men
,.ri,,. taI Iak s.,
great deal of the property which
was recovered has been identified by
the managers of the drug company, ac-
cording to the police, and 1t Is thought
charge of grand larceny viii be
placed against the prisoners.

GOOD ROADS TO Be
GIVEN A BOOST
MEETING CALLED BY CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE
Permanent Organization of the Los
Angeles County Association to
Be Effected Saturday
Morning

Following closely upop-the boost to
the good roads movement by the Cali
fornia Development society, the Los An
geles chamber of commerce has thrown
it's influence in favor of the cause, and
a meeting for the organization of a so
ciety with this end in view will be held
in the chamber of commerce rooms
Saturday morning.
The organization will be known as the
Good Roads Association of Los Angeles
County, and invitations have been ex-
tended to all the civic and commercial
associations of the city to send repre-
sentatives to the meeting.
A temporary organization was effected
at a previous meeting and report by
a committee for permanent organization
will be submitted at the Saturday morn-
ing meeting.
The plans are to make the association
as widespread in its influences as pos
sible by including widely varied in
terests and localities in it's makeup. AL
though the membership will be limited
to prevent it's being unwieldly, efforts
will be made to make it as representa-
tive as possible.
F. w. Blanchard telegraphed Senator
Savage yesterday, urging him to make
efforts to hurry the passage of the good
roads bill which the representatives
from Los Angeles county offered to the
Legislature. 1t is hoped that action will
be taken on 1t before the end of the
week, and there is said to be little doubt
that Governor Gillett will approve the
bill. Unless the bill is presented to the
Legislature Immediately Mr.. Blanchard
and Hartley Shaw of the district attor-
ney's Office will go to Sacramento to
urge it's passage.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-28
s,anonara oonndent

Mr.. Blanchard is enthusiastic over
what he thinks will be the result of the
passage of the bill, which he is confident
will be in fe wdays. ell said yester-
day:
1T is the first out of the several bills
that have been presented before the leg
islature that seem to satisfactorily COW
er the project of good roads. 1t will
have tendency to ease up the large
property owners who could not afford
the heavy expense, whereby this move
ment will equaliZe the expense accord
ing to the valuation of the property
throughout the state for this purpose.
I'm Los Angeles county, outside of
the cities, there are about 1000 miles
of roads in charge of the supervisors,
and the income from II per cent of the
taxable property has made it made
quate for doing good work.
''If this bill is passed it calls for
the best of roadways, but limits them
to the main travelled thoroughfares, to
be built between the cities of the coun-
ties. The income now derived by the
assessment can be used for the cross
roads and will go long way in CIV
ing the entire county fine system Of
roads and boulevards. Probably with
in the next few years the state will
come to the assistance Of the people and
appropriate funds for the building Of
roads. But Los Angeles county, real
izing that the building of roads at this
time Is absolutely imperative, had the
bill drawn up and placed before the
legislature. it is safe to predict that
Los Angeles county, within two years,
will build 200 miles of the best macad-
amized roads,"

HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
DECEPTION BRINGS THE
DESIRED RESULT
BY THE EAvEsDRoPPEH

1t began in quito the usual way, but,
alas, 1t nearly had a sad ending.
The pretty girl, who is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. II. King Of omaha,
Neb., came to Los Angeles with her
parents a few days ago, and they went
to stay at the Van Nuys.
Came also d. g. Bradford from Oma-
ha, and in love with Miss King
After the fashion of her sex. down in
her heart Miss King is just a little bit
Of tease, and IL is said that, though
she was inclined toward the man from
her native state, she was not caring to
have him know 1t too soon.
He grew impatient of waiting and de-
| termined he was x z to find out
whether or not he was E-r. Right. At
dinner Tuesday night he offered an OBJ
lection to something. She questioned
his right to object. He thought he had
a right and then he said good-by-a
very ominous good-by, that made her
wish she had not, and he disappeared.
He went to his room, turned the lights
low and was not heard from again until
5 o'clock In the morning.
At 10 O'Clock the girl relented a little
and sent up card. The bellboy ham
mered the door, but came down and
said there was no response. At II
o'clock she telephoned, and again there
was no answer. The girl tossed her
pretty head, pursed her pretty lips and
said she did not care, anyway. and was
going to bed. She went to bed, but not
to sleep. Up there in the dark of her
room horrid thoughts crept into her
mind. She wondered where he was
and she hoped very hard that he was
all right. She tried to force herself to
sleep, but sleep would have none of her
She heard the clock dispose Of the
hours and with each passing one she
became more disturbed. What If he
were dead, she thought; and that
| thought was parent to her next act
She got up and went frantically down to
the night clerk. 1t was 3 o'clock then
II just know something terrible has
| happened to Mr.. Bradford. Won't you
please go up to his room and find out p
| she begged of the night clerk, and she
was young and pretty, and-well what
could the poor clerk do? He went and
he took all the other available members
of the force with him. They pounded
on the door of the young mans room
and awakened every one else in the cor
ridor but brought no response from
the right direction. Finally the night
clerk climbed to the tr9hsom and in
the dim light of the room he saw a
form stretched on the bed.
II guess he's dead, all right" he said
and then broke the transom and tried
to climb through. The girl had fol-
lowed them Tito the hall and with this
she gave little cry. The man reached
the floor on the other side of the door
and again came forth, II guess he's
dead"
Turn on the light" -uggested one
of his assistants, and then out of the
flood of light came a voice from the
supposed corpse r. lining in the bed
IT guess you had h of time get
ting in
At this the girl in the hall giggled
and the man jumped up. His bluff had
worked and the rest of the story can
only be guessed. He is no longer in
doubt, and some say they see visions
OF minister and a bridal gown.
