AUTO TAKEN. THIEVES FLEE.
Up-to-Date Burglary and Running
Fight.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, December %
Two thieves in an automobile who looted a
department store at Whittier, a suburb of
this city, yesterday were pursued by the
police in a second machine. A running
fire with revolver for miles over country
roads ensued, but the thieves finally es-
capped by jumping from their machine as
it was going full speed.
The store is owned by Klinberg &
Co., and the plumber consisted of shoes.
hats, suit cases, etc. These the thieves
loaded into an automobile which had been
stolen some hours before from DR.. Ray
Robinson of this city. Immediately upon
hearing Of the robbery at Whittier, police
from here. accompanied by Dr.. Robinson,
started toward Whittier, surnising that
they might meet the marauders. Several
miles out the police sighted an automo-
bile. The robbers simultaneously saw the
machine of the officers, and, turning
about, fed toward Whittier. The police
threw on all speed and succeeded in get
ting within 200 yards of the robbers.
The officers called to the men in the
machine in front o them to halt There
was no answer. The police then opened
running fire. Suddenly the two rob-
bers leaped from their machine and es-
capped in opposite directions. The ma
chine crashed into a telegraph pole and
was wrecked. The stolen goods were
recovered.

JOHN OF CRoNsTADT ILL.
Famous Old Russian Priest Probably
Diving

ST. PETERSBURG, December 90
Father John of Cronstadt is seriously i'll
with the recurrence of an old malady in
aggravated form. He is unable to eat and
on account of his great age and debility
his recovery is problematical.
The influence of Father John of Cron-
stadt who is considered a saint by the
ignorant classes is still great. He has
thousands of followers in st. Petersburg
and the provinces, but the sect of late
years has attained an unenviable noto-
riety owing to the charges of immortality
and drunkenness brought against the
chief. satellites who exploited Father
Johns reputation for sanctity to great
financial advantage. The practices of the
followers of Father John have been the
subject of play entitled The Black
Ravens" which was given to crowded
houses in St Petersburg an( produced
also by several road companies. This play
was prohibited in many cities where the
following of Father John were numerous
for fear of exciting popular disorder.
The powerful influence of the reactionS~N
organizations were exerted against this
production because Father John, in spite
of the ill repute of his followers. is count
ed as one of the strongest supports Of at
tocracy and orthodoxy.
