SAY HUSBAND CHASED
WIFE WITH RIFLE
General Manager Of Mining Company
Arrested, Charged with Threaten
ing Woman's Life While
Wild with Rage

Eugene A. Higginson, general manager
of the Good Springs Consolidated Mining
and Smelling company, was arrested at
his home last night by Patrolman II. G..
Hickok of the University motorcycle
squad and placed in the city jail on a
charge of disturbing the peace.
Higginson, 1t is alleged, ran his wife
and little boy from their home at TIA
West Thirty-first street with a rifle,
threatening to kill them.
The woman, screaming with fear and
with her child clasped in her arms. ran
from the house with the man after her.
Mrs. Higginson escaped to a neighbor's 8
house and the police were notified. Officer
Hickok went to the house and arrested
the man. The officer stated Higginson
had not been drinking SO far as could
be noticed, but that he was evidently
wild with rage.
Bail was secured for Higginson later in
the night and he was released. He will
be in the police court this morning.

which he characterized as a tentative
one for the consideration of the dele
gates. Before adjournment the COM
mittees-those on organization and on
rules-made their reports and the
scheme as suggested by Mr.. Straus was
adopted.
The scheme prescribes that the coun-
ellis functions shall be to keep the de-
partment of commerce and labor in
formed of the needs and desires of the
business world as formulated by re-
sponsiblo commercial and industrial or
ganizations, representing manufac-
lures, internal trade and commerce,
both export and import, and possibly
transportation, and also to keep the
business community informed regard
ing the work of the department, its
plans, methods and results.
The meeting later was turned over to
the delegates for such action as they
deemed proper. The chairman was au-
thorized to appoint a committee on or
ganization consisting of ten members.

STRANGE ROBBERY
PUZZLES POLICE
LARGE SUM REPORTED STOLEN
FROM RuLLock's
Detectives Investigate and Find Safe
U nIccked and Amount Of Money
Missing-$5ooo Is Left
Untouched

A robbery involving between $4,000
ed $4,000 is puzzling the police depart
ment.
The robbery took place at late hour
Wednesday night, but the facts were
not reported to the police until yes
terday morning, when j. g. Bullock,
superintendent of the Bullock depart
ment store, declared the large safe on
the seventh floor of the building had
been robbed.
The first notice the police had that
anything was wrong came at III O'CLOCK
wednesday night, when John Blades q
watchman at the store, telephoned the
detectives someone was moving about
in one of the upper stories and asked
for policemen.
When asked why he did not make an
investigation the watchman replied he
had no weapon. He said there were
four other men with him In the store.
but none would make an attempt to
capture the intruder.
Detectives Murray and Mcnamara
were sent to the store and searched the
place from top to bottom. When they
reached the seventh Dor one OF the
detectives tried the door of the safe
and found it unlocked. The inside door
was also unlocked.
The officers notified Mr.. Bullock and
he and other employees of the office
rorce< Went TO lHe Store anu iiauo ''
examination of the safes contents.
1t was discovered, the police say,
that between $4,000 and $4,000 In gold
and CURRENCY had been taken. The
puzzling part of the whole thing is that
an equal amount in gold, currency and
scrip was left in the same compartment
of the safe from which the missing
money had been abstracted.
The office keys were found in the
place they were left when the store
closed Wednesday evening, and the
safe, 1t is said, was securely locked at
that time.
The police believe the robbery is
what is known as an inside job
They say everything points to the
fact that the safe was opened and the
money taken by some one familiar with
the place The investigation is still
being carried on.

ROSS BRINGS
POLO PONIES
Coming Tournaments at Riverside
and Coronado VIII Show Whether
California Horses Beat Hardy
Alberta Breed

California polo ponies are to be pitted
against carload of the hardy Alberta
breed of horses at Riverside next month,
when players from Burlingame, Coronado,
Los Angeles and Pasadena will be
matched against Major Coin George Ross
of Calgary and a team composed of ex-
pert players from the northwest territory.
The imported ponies, which passed
through Los Angeles yesterday, are the
property of T. r. Jenkins and George
Robinson, members of the Alberta team.
Major Ross is one of the best known
men at polo on the continent He won
note twenty years ago before he left Ross
shire, his native county in Scotland,
where he learred the game. He was the
leader of the unbeaten Calgary team,
which downed the best men that could
be produced by New Haven, Buffalo. Sar-
atoga, Toronto and Montreal. The tourna-
ment he will enter in the south in Janu-
ary will bring out some of the best play
ers ir this conutry and probably several
from England to compete against the AL
berta champions. Several costly trophies
have been offered. Burlingame, the Cali
fornia champions, will name the place.
which will be either Riverside of Corona
do and the games may continue until far
into February.
Major Ross believes that the California
breed of polo pony is the best in the
world, and canont see why some of the
players import their mounts from Eng
land.

OBLEMAN IS
IN TROUBLE
FRENcHMAN is CHARGED WITH
BEZZLEMENT
ATTORNEY for Accused Man Refuses to
Give Up Client to Constable
Until Bondsmen Are
Found

Constable Ben Cohn and his deputies
were kent busy yesterday over an en-
bezzlement suit filed in Justice sum
merfields court by Morton Il. COOK
gainst George de Troost, French no
hIepnan and local representative of the
Morton l.. Cook Advertising company.
In the complaint Cook charged ms
local agent with embezzling $l2OO OF
the money of the firm. Cohn put one
of his men on the trail of the accused
man, but the deputy failed to locate
de Troost Then the constable ftooi.
charge of things himself and put al
his force to work on the case one
man was stationed in the offices or the
Cook company at sol Bryson block ana
was kept there all day until the clerks
finally closed the doors at night.
Then Attorney Jud Rush of the nrm
of Davis. Rush & Willis, 600-607 Bryson
building, appeared on the scene. he
said he could locate the missing man.
but would not turn him over unless the
constable would agree not to lock MIN
up until he had time to get bail. A
lengthy controversy ensued, at the end
of which Constable Cohn agreed TO
call off his force providing the attorney
would agree to answer for the appear
ance of the missing man. De Troosts
daughter appealed to Attorney Rush
and went with him personally to see
the constable and plead on her fatner's $
behalf.
Ready to Give Bond
Attorney Rush called up number. or
friends whose names were furnished by
the daughter and they willingly con-
sented to go on the bond of the accused
man. Last night the bondsmen and
Justice Summerfie1d gathered in the
office of Attorney Rush and the bond
for $500 was soon arranged. De
Troost will appear for arraignment in
Justice Summer1eld's court this morn
ing. Meanwhile he has bean saved the
discontinue of night in jail by the
prompt action of his daughter and the
willing assistance of his friends.
The Martin l.. Cook company controls
practically all the theater advertising
curtains on the coast and their con-
tracts for advertising run into many
hundreds of dollars. De Troost was
the San Francisco agent before the San
Francisco fire, which swept away near
L. all his property. He makes con-
tracts for the local theater curtain ads,
collects the money due by the local ad-
vertisers and after deducting his por-
tion of the net returns RENTS the ball
ance Since the San Francisco disaster
he is alleged to have deducted some-
what more tfan what was due him.
His friends assert that his overdrafts
were known at all times to the com
pany and that they do not exceed at
the most 5000. while money due him on
outstanding contracts in the name of
the firm are far in excess of that
amount His daughter says that her
father and Mr.. Cook. who is just down
from San Francisco, got into quarrel
over another matter and that the suit
was brought purely for spite. Her
father. she says. never attempted to
conceal any overdraft and there are as
sets to more than offset such amounts
as may he due.

WILL LET COUNCILMEN
SELECT FACTORY ZONES

Worried by where to draw the line an
refusing permits for business purposes
the fire commissioners are about to ask
the councilmen to select one section in
each ward which will be given over to
industrial and manufacturing purposes.
When such places are selected future
buyers and builders there will under
stand that factories will be encouraged
in that neighborhood.
Nearly every time an enterprise asks
for power and other privileges house,
holders protest and the commissioners.
while anxious to encourage business, are
placed in an embarrassing position by
these protests.
An ordinance will probably be drawn
up designating manufacturing districts.

Yer grand jury, just before its final dis
charge last Tuesday, adopted a resolu-
tion recommending to the district attor-
ney that the Indictments for alleged
bribery returned by it against w. 1. Bro

Mr. Heney said: What the grand Jury

a resolution recommending that the pros
ecution be lenient with Brobeck Green

recommend the setting aside of the in
dictments on the ground of insufficient
evidence when it heard from the lips of
the three men themselves the entire

Danbury and Classic Art.

The grim spirit of Puritanism is not dead
in New England. 1t does not compel the
wearing of ugly clothes or the eschewing
of all frivolous pleasures, and in some
parts of the region 1t has ceased even to
require the stoppage of all trains during
church hours on Sunday. But 1t still ex-
lists in spots with sufficient strength to
cause the more modern elements Of the pop
ulation to pause occasionally and to switch
their minds back to the days of Cotton
Mather and his colleagues. In Danbury,
Conn, for an example, this conception of
mans moral responsibility is still alive and
has just expressed itself In an edict by
the members of-the school committee that
certain plaster statues which the students
of the local high school have bought
must be appropriately draped. For some
time the young men and women of the
school have been raising money for the
artistic establishment of their building.
and have succeeded in purchasing copies
of the Apollo Belvidere and the discus
thrower, which are recognized throughout
the art world as well nigh perfect speci>
mems of ancient sculpture and physical
beauty. The school committeeman are hor-
