would have been a dificult matter to
have forced an admission OF any sort
from Siemsen. II was the fear OF
God and the love OF home which
loosened Dabner's lips. His father
and elder brother came down from the
little country town where only few
months before the boy had been a
high school pupil. Both pleaded with
him To tell the truth. His father
worked on all the religious impulses
OF his son. and evoked the picture OF
his sorrowing mother. All three wept,
and finally the shaken dupe OF the
elder criminal told the waiting detec-
tives everything.
The FIRST the public heard OF the
"gas-pipe men," as Siemsen and Dab
ner have been dubbed from the choice
OF weapons, was one morning when

the subject for several weeks the coun-
Gil decided on a trial of the new method.
This exposed it to the criticisms of

in reply to these that Mr.. Sturdevant

Mr. Sturdevant explains his position
thus: Sd
Il worked the best I knew how to
have Los Robles paved with asphalt
because it was the best pavement 1 had
ever seen or heard of, and it was only
when 1 became convinced on the testi-
mony of several of our well known citi-
zens that bitulithic was superior that I
called the meeting of asphalt advocates
at the board of trade rooms and recon-
mended that we petition for bitulithic
pavement for Los Robles avenue, and
when we did so petition we knew OF
the "just as good" pavement which the
Barber company offers to lay at lower
price.

Mr.. Morris said that he had secured an
option on forty-two acres of sand loan
on which thousands of gum trees could
be grown which would find waiting

adapted for railroad ties.

PASADENA, Aug. s.-1f the new plans
announced by the Santa Fe railroaod
officials at San Bernardino are carried
out, practically all overland. and limited
trains over the main line of the Santa
Fe road will be routed via Riverside,
Corona, Richfeld, Fullerton and Ana
helm, instead of through Pasadena, as
at present. The new route has been Sc
lected and nearly million dollars has
been appropriated to make the necessary
changes of grade and cutoffs on the new
line. When completed it will be nearly
as short as the one through Pasadena,
1t is said
Numerous street crossings in this city
are the great drawback to continuing
all the overland trains over the old line.
Recently mny of these crossings have
been protected by gates and warning
bells, but as the city grows to the east
there will be many others to be equipped
with safety appliances, and time will
be lost in running slowly for several
miles through the center of the city.
When the new route is completed and
the schedule goes into effect only local
passenger and freight trains will be
sent over the Pasadena route. Two pas
senger trains daily are expected to con-
stitute the service.
A representative of the Santa Fe from
Los Angeles called on Mayor Farley and
City Engineer Van Ornum yesterday and
made proposition to lower the railroad
grade at Elm avenue nineteen inches
This is the crossing about which so
much protest has been made since the
railroad put in new cement cutters there
and left the track nearly two feet above
street grade. A storm of complaints
hurled at the city officials forced prompt
action in providing a remedy for the
miserable makeshift of a crossing. The
change of grade proposed will also reach
to Ell Molino avenue, causing the tracks
to be lowered there

VENICE, Aug. Especial vigilance is
being exercised by the police in the resi-
dence districts as result of the activi-
ties of housebreakers, who have made
at least four attempts at burglary
within the last few days.
Last night there was an attempt made
to enter the homes of A. R. Fraser and
H. r. Gage on the ocean front. In both
instances ladders had been placed against
the houses and at the Fraser residence a
screen window was cut out.
Fred Ellington, 26 Raymond avenue
reports that a screen door was cut from
a rear room of his residence during the
night.
The home of Mrs. L. F. Lewis at IS
Raymond avenue received the attention
of intruders Monday night. Mrs. Lewis
was in Los Angeles at the time, but on
her return to her residence the following
day found that a bold attempt had been
made to pry open a bedroom door. The
police say the housebreakers have Sc
cured no booty
