TICKETS FOR Benefit
FIND A READY SALE
Assistance Leagues Coming Attrac-
tion Meets with Approval, as
Shown by Rapid Disposal
of Seats

For the first time yesterday the general
public had chance to buy seats for the
coming benefit of the Assistance league.
And the result indicated that the house
will be filled to its capacity. The advance
subscriptions alone were enough to insure
the success of the affair beyond question,
and the added run yesterday made all the
promoters wear "the smile that won't
come Off"
Excellent locations are still available
however, and the sale will continue at The
Bartlett Music company till the seats
are exhausted. Seats at all prices, 49, s.
and 81, still remain.
Rehearsals for the various stunts" are
now in the last stages, and every partici-
pant is letter perfect. Costume rehearsa.s
will be held every night this week, and
Edgar Temple, the stage director, is put
ting the final touches on each event
These several turns are all of different
sort, and the variety of the program Is
not its least attractive feature.
The cause, as is now well understood
is purely for charity and all the proceeds
will be devoted to the work of the league
The outlook is that the association will
have plenty to do this winter, and tn;
generous response to it's efforts so far
has delighted all who are giving so freely
of their time and labor toward the sue
cess of the entertainment.

SECOND STORY MEN
MAKE BIG HAUL
SECURE JEWELS AND CASH
WORTH HUNDREDS
Daughter Of George H. Mahr Hears
Thieves at Work, but, Unsus-
pIclous, Continues
Sleep

Second story men are again at work In
Los Angeles. For some time the police
have expected to hear Of some Job pulled
off by crooks of this class. but the one
early yesterday morning is the first
which has been heard OF.
Ear;y yesterday morning two daring
ladder thieves entered and robbed the
apartments of George H. Mahr at 1927
Figueroa street, stealing diamond rings
valued at $500, a gold watch valued at
$65, a gold chain valued at $40, $50 in gold
and SIS in scrip.
An expensive pair of opera glasses, a
jewel case highly prized by Its owner and
several small articles were also takep.
The robbers evidently carefully planned
the burglary. They first entered the
yard of neighbor and stole a long lad
der, which they carried to Mahr's house
and placed against the side of the build
ing. One of the men then stood guard
while his companion mounted the lad
der and forced an entrance.
While the robber was doing his work
on the inside of the house Miss Alice
Mahr, one of the victims daughters,
awoke and heard a noise in the rear
section of the house. Thinking 1t was a
cog the young woman said nothing but
went back to sleep.
From footprints about the place where
the ladder rested it was seen that two
men did the job, and judging from the
imprints of the shoes both were large
and clad in rough clothing. The foot
prints show the shoes worn by the men
were of the square toed variety with
heavy soles.
my wife and myself sleep in the rear
of the house, while my daughters occupy
the front bedroom" said Mr.. Mahr last
night. 1.-THE robbers entered through my
daughters room, but evidently did not
search that apartment, as nothing was
disturbed.
Neither my wife nor myself heard
them at their work.
"The articles they took were highly
priced and am willing to give their full
value to have them returned"
The Mahrs recently came to Los An
geles from Chicago.

CLERK MISSING;
DIAMONDS GONE
MISPLACED TRUST RESPONSIBLE
SAYS LCsER
AL Lubeck of Loan Company Accuses
Sam Solomon of Taking
Jewels, Watch and
Coin

Placing implicit confidence in a clerk
whom he had employed five weeks ago,
AL Lubbock, proprietor of the Collateral
Loan company, III East First street, yes
terday discovered his trust had been mis-
placed and he now mourns the loss of
two valuable diamonds, $50 in money, a
watch and chain and, perhaps, other arti-
cles which an inventory will be necessary
to disclose.
Lubbock employed Sam Solomon little
over a month ago. The man came to
him well recommended and his appear
ance was such that Lubbock was impressed
and his entire confidence was gained.
Sunday morning last Solomon went to
the little store and told his employer he
had found a prospective purchaser for a
good diamond. He wanted to take two OF
the finest gems to show the customer and
Lubbock handed him a stone worth Sl75
and another valued at $780, Solomon told
Lubbock to wait at the store for him as
he would return within an hour.
Lubbock waited two hours and deciding
his clerk was delayed went home. Solo
mon. he knew, had key to the store
and could replace the gems in his abb
sence.
Register RifIed
| When Lubbock opened his store yester-
day morning he found the diamonds had
| not been returned to their place and
when he opened the cash register $50
which he kept on hand to make change
was missing Hastily locking the place
he went to the young mans boarding
house, 1152 East Eighth street, where he
was told Solomon had not been In his
room since Friday.
Lubbock hastened to the police station
and reported his loss. When he rturned
to the store he found an old watch chain
which Solomon had worn, while
valuable chain was missing from a show
case. Going into rear room where
clothing is kept Lubbock found light
colored overcoat which he knew belonged
to his clerk hanging behind the door.
There is large amount of clothing In the
room and Lubbock believes Solomon ex-
changed his coat for another and better
one in order to disguise himself.
Solomon had made an engagement with
young woman to go to a theater Satur-
day night, but did not appear The wo-
man was at Lubecks store yesterday In
ouiring about the man. She said he had
told her he intended to go to New York
before Christmas, and 1t mattered little
how he got there. For this reason, 1t Is
believed the man may be located in the
east. His father is owner of jewelry
store on One Hundred and Twenty-hfth
street, New York.

WIN7 Err INFLUX OF
CROOKS UNDER WAY
MANY PETTY BURGLARIES ARE
REPORTED
Advance Man of Rush Caught, Say
Police, In Arrest of William B.
Hunter on EmbezzIe-
ment Charge

The first advance man of the usual
yesterday, according to the police, when
Detectives Dixon and Craig arrested Will
liam B. Hunter, collector for the Penn
berton livery stable, 4O5 Wall street.
| Hunter was employed at the stable
recently. While the proprietor was abb
sent on Sunday Hunter, according to
the proprietor, collected between $40 and
$50 in livery bills. With this money he
went to 81 Myricks pool room and when
arrested was awaiting the returns from
an eastern race.
Small burgaries and thefts are being
reported to the police daily and 1t is ex-
pected the number will grow as the sea-
son advances. The amount of money and
the value of articles stolen are generally
small. but, on account of the frequency
with which these thefts occur the police
are urging every householder to take
especial care in protecting their homes
from entrance.
In the capture of Walter Anson Sun
day night the police believe they will
be able to find an explanation for num-
Der of burglaries that have occurred re-
Gently.
The officers say Anson has been en-
ployed as elevator man in the Stimson
building, lis South Broadway, for the
mast four weeks. He left the rooming
house at 255 South Bunker Hill aevnue,
where he had secured accommodations
for himself and mother, few days af-
ter they had registered, and since then
has been missing so far as the proprietor
of the house knew.

Loranette Stolen

Another burglary reported yesterday
was that of a gold lorgnette and long
gold chain from the room of Mrs. q.
Carlyle, 2721 Portland street. The jewel
ry was valued at $780, The thief entered
the room through a window.
Rooms in a number of rooming houses
have been entered during the past few
weeks in a similar manner to the above
or by the use of pass keys. Other thefts
have been made exceptionally easy by
roomers leaving their doors unlocked and
the police believe if proper care were
taken the cases of thefts and burglaries
would become less numerous.
