Fire Dispatch PatroImen Prevent
confIasration on 6roadway-Turn
in Automatic Burglar Alarm
by Mistake

Owing to the vigilance and prompt
action of Fire Dispatch Patrolmen
Warren Dole and Percy Collins. a seri-
Gus fire was averted last evening on
South Broadway.
The men have cross beats, meeting
each other at Third and Broadway. AS
Dole went to turn out the electric
lights in the show case of the Geneva
Watch and optical company at 305
South Broadway at 1910 p. m. yes
terday he noticed that flames were
creeping around the lower edge Of the
show window.
He went around to the back door and
broke in, thereby turning on an auto
matte burglar alarm and attracting a
crowd of A. d. T. messenger boys.
With the help of Collins, Dole procured
two seltzer bottles and armed with
these the two patrolmen extinguished
the flames, which in few minutes
would have done great damage to the
valuable display of jewelry and
watches in the show window. 1t is
believed the cause of the fire was de-
fectiye wiring.

POLISH MFL UENCE
FOR HUMAN UNIT Y
PROF. LuTosLAWsKI THINKS IT
WILL BE POTENT
Distinguished Educator Opens New
Course of Lectures at Simpson
AudItorium-other Subjects
of Next Lectures

That the unity of mankind may
come from the influence of the repub
| lican character of Poland was the es.
sence of the thought of Prof. Win.
Gently Lutoslawski, who opened the
new university course of lectures al
Simpson auditorium last night. His
subject was 1.-THE Polish Nation: Its
Past, Present and Future" The lee
turer was introduced by President Jo-
seph Scott of the board of education,
who paid high tribute to the scholar
ship and citizenship of Prof. Lutos-
lawsh and commended his teaching to
the people of Los Angeles.
The lecture proved of interest to the
audience and was ended by a quiz
sense OF republicanism, he said, d.
rected it as otherwise he regarded "A
lecturer as a little despotic.
The Polish people, he said, had been
for fourteen centuries practicing re-
publican form of government. Unlike
the great American nation, the govern
ment was and had been for centuries
one of unanimity rather than of ma
jorities. In America the majority
rules and the minority is subject. But
in Poland the ruler, even In the an
Gent days, was the unanimous choice
of the governed, and he could not be-
come SO until he was the unanimous
choice. Minorities had the right to
take the field in defense of their con-
victions In America the civil war and
the confederacy were deplored; in Po-
land confederacies of the minorities
We're authorized, the minorities took
the field in defense of their convictions
and were not treated as rebels, but as
loyal people. And there were instances
where, in such a civil conflict, a trivial
minority had gradually won the unan-
imous support of the people, and the
diet ratified its program.
Poland stands in the center of Eu-
rope and has been the bulwark OF re-
publicanism for centuries. 1t retains
the true Aryan character which has
persistently been the force for civil lib
erty In distinction from the dynastic
rcces. Today its influence is reviving
and the lecturer regarded it as prob
ably the biggest influence looking to
the unification of mankind in the flu
ture.
Prof. Lutoslawski will supplement
his lecture on Poland at the Audito-
rum next Tuesday night with another
on 1.-THE Russian Crisis" and on
March he will discuss 1.-THE Immi-
nent and Inevitable European War"
The lectures all treat of the civil de-
velopment which, he said, may mean
the unification, first, Of allied races.
such as the Latin and Germanic, and
eventually a unification of all. The
development was not material, but

Heard From

Two women believed to be profess

tives Chapman and Home and were
booked at the city prison on suspicion.
The women were detected while
working in the Broadway department
store, and when an attempt was made
by the house detective and a clerk to
detain them they put up a fight, and
it was only after struggle that one
of the women, who gave her name as
Anna Nelson, was captured. Her COM
panion escaped, but was later picked
up on the street by the detectives on
description.
The prisoner captured in the store
was fully equipped with shoplifter's
outfit. Beneath her outside skirt and
with an opening through which it could
be reached was long black bag ca
pable of holding bushel of stuff. Scat
tered throughout her clothing were
smaller pockets, easy to reach but hard
for the animated to detect.
1t Is alleged the women entered the
store and while one attracted the at
tention of the clerk the other proceeded
to help herself to whatever valuable
goods she took q fancy to.
Have Complete Outfits
The Nelson woman, while her part
ner, who gave the name of Annie Will
liams. was busy looking at goods, is
said to have quietly slipped silk I'M
derskirt of the finest quality into the
long black bag and then took $35
hat from its resting place in the mil
linery show department and walked off

dressing room and donned the skirt
and deftly placed the hat beneath her
clothing so it would not be noticed.
She then returned to her companion
and was In the act of getting away with
a few pairs of long kid gloves of the
most expensive patterns when she was
detected.
The clerk who discovered her at
tempted to arrest the woman and called
for help. The woman promptly planted
her fist in his face and then followed 1t
with a second blow in the stomach.
Both women then ran, but the house
detective and number of clerks were
at the spot by that time and the
women were surrounded. They contin-
ued their flight, however. and the Will
liams woman succeeded in getting
away.
Anna Nelson was detained until the
local detectives could be sent for, and
she was taken to jail. She refused to
make any statement An hour later
her companion was arrested on Spring
street and the baggage of the two
women was found in a Spring street
lodging house.
They came to Los Angeles Thursday
morning from San Francisco and were
equipped with round trip tickets over
the Southern Pacific railroad from Chi
cago to Los Angeles.
The women are believed to be known
to the police of the eastern cities, and
the detectives In various towns have
been. communicated with. 1t is be-
lieved the women are also guilty of a
series of daring shoplifting jobs which
were pulled off in San Francisco a
week ago..
