BECAUSE OF CORPULENCE
Sends Word to Judge That He Is Too
Stout to WaIk-May
Move Him on a
Truck

Because of the obese proportions of one
Toy Lock, a Chinese shoemaker, the case
of Toy On who claims to be the son Of
the other Toy and who is charged by the
federal officials with unlawful entry into
this country, had to be continued in the
United States district court yesterday
morning.
Besides claiming Toy Lock for his
father, Toy On alleges that he was born
in this country, and had subpoena
served on his parent requiring him to
appear and testify to the date and place
of the birth of his son, If such is the
case.
No difficulty was experienced in serving
the summons on Lock, but he sent his
profound regrets to the court, together
with the astounding statement that he
was too fat to walk. 1t was suggested
that bids be advertised for and a con-
tract made with some of the trucking
companies, but no final action was taken.

that time the detectives found it i'm
possible to secure evidence against him
and he was given his liberty.
Since his release Turnbul has been
watched constantly by detectives. Several

the man to go, fearing they would not
get a conviction

Dixon, and when he reappeared was
followed by them to the Broadway de-
partment store.

articles of wearing apparel which he
slipped under his coat. He was arrested
and searched, and articles valued at
nearly $50 were found in his pockets
After Turnbull was taken to the station
officers were detailed to search his room.
There bolts of silk, fine silver mounted
toilet sets, neckties and shirts, all bear
ing the price marks of large department
stores in Los Angeles and few showing
signs of wear, were found.
1t is claimed all these articles were
stolen by Turnbull and number of
them have been identified by the manag-
ers of stores as having been stolen from
their places
Turnbull refused to make any con-
fession to the detectives, but the arrest
ing officers are confident he will plead
guilty when his case is called In police
court.

Rich Enough to Be Comfortable.

Miss Bertha Krupp, the richest girl

her wedding outfit, much to the dis
gust of the dressmakers, number of
whom hoped to be able to retire rich
or to at least have a controlling inter

buttonhole had been made.
Fortunately for Bertha. she is so
wealthy that she does not have to
prove it by spending all the money the
family can borrow on the COW and the
sewing machine for her wedding gown.
Doubtless she has a few other dresses
at home that wouldn't look so worse if
company should happen to drop in and
find her in her old clothes, and possibly
she doesn't care. If she did and still
wanted to save money she could get a
card printed to hand any one who turn
ed up their noses, reading, II could
buy and sell you and all of your rela-
tions." That ought to hold them.

A Method of Cooking That Makes

A Method of Cooking That Makes
Tough Meat Tender.
Braislng is method of cooking
which is something like both boiling
and baking, but differs from either. 1t
is fayorite French way of cooking
and Is regarded as both economical
and good, for 1t converts inferior pieces
Of meat into tender, tasty dishes.
First of all, a pan having a tightly
fitting cover is essential. In France a
special cover is made in such shape
that live Goals can be spread over the
top. This is necessary because much
of their cooking is done with charcoal.
With our stoves we can use either
metal or earthenware. The latter Is
preferable, because the heat is kept
more uniform, but any kind of deep
covered pan or kettle will do the work.
The meat which is to be cooked Is ar
ranged In the pan or kettle with or
without eatables, according to the fla
yor desired; water, sauce stock or a
savory sauce added. The dish Is then
tightly covered and placed in slow
oven to cook. From half an hour to
one hour Is allowed for each pound of
meat, according to its toughness. The
meat will brown some even while
part of the liquid is evaporating. When
1t is desired we'll Drowned the cover Is
removed half an hour before dlshing.
