SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


SAN JOSE, July 14.-Impelled by
strange criminal tendency said to be
hereditary in her family, Miss Jessie
Turner, a young Palo Alto stenog-
rapher, burglarized the home of Mrs.
Mabel Scale, a prominent society
woman of South Palo Alto, this after
noon, and, when she was discovered
and followed to her home by Mrs.
Scale, furious fight followed between
the two women for the possession of
a telephone with which Mrs. Scale
attempted to bring aid.
Miss Turner drew a huge Japanese
knife from her stocking and slashed
her opponent across the arm and twice
across the body. The dullness of the
weapon undoubtedly saved Mrs. Scales
life. Rendered helpless, she was COM
PEELED to write the following note,
which was dictated by Miss Turner:
Il forgive you, and will not prose-
cute you upon condition that you never
do it again"
Miss Turner was arrested this after
noon by officers Matthewson and
Hickey and was brought to this city
anu AOCrtd 0p ia lllO OOuhLJ Pl4SOh-
Alfred Scale swore to a complaint
charging Miss Turner with burglary.
Miss Turner has been residing at the
home of Arthur Crane, a commuter,
for about a year. Prior to that time
she was a resident of this city, where
she pursued the vocation of a stenog-
rapher.
Yesterday afternoon she drove to the
home of Mrs. Scale in a carriage She
Fzra tod Nv
and by 13 year old Willie Crane She
sent the boy into the house first No
one was at home, and the boy is said
TO have gained access by a key which
had been left on the outside of locked
door. Miss Turner followed the little
fellow and ransacked the house, Sc
curing vauables of all sorts, which she
stuffed into a sack.
Just as they were driving away with
the booty Mrs. Scale came home. dis
covered that the house had been robbed
and followed Miss Turner's rig to the
Crane home on China lane Mrs Scale
boldly entered the house and ATTEMPTED
to summon her brother over the tele-
phone. Miss Turner attempted to frus-
trate the act by first tearing at the
telephone wires, but when it was evil
dent that this was going to prove
futile she overpowered Mrs. Scale with
the assistance of the big knife and
attempted to secure immunity by
threatening to kill Mrs. Scale if she
did not write pledge agreeing not
to prosecute her.
Miss Turner's sister gained consid-
cradle notoriety in this city some time
ago by running away with trunk
full of lingerie belonging to Mrs Will
lam Barnes of this city. Mrs Barnes
did not prosecute her when she was
caught and returned the goods
Both girls possess a good appear
ance and claim that they are irrespon-
sible for their actions at times, and
that they have an irresistible impulse
to steal.

Mrs. LongwOrth Under
Prohibition Ban
Horse Races and Cigarettes
Make Presidents Daughter
Non Grafa at Convention

COLUMBUS, July 14.-In caucus this
afternoon the Kentucky delegation to
the national prohibition convention,
which opens in Memorial hall here to-
morrow, refused to invite Mrs. Alice
Roosevelt to attend the
convention as Kentucky's honored
guest.
The reasons the delegates gave for
this action were:
First-That Mrs. Longworth attend
ed the Lexington horse races and sat
beside Boss George B. Cox of Cincin-
natl, well known man of the world
Second-That she smokes cigarettes.
Three Kentucky delegates invited
Mrs. Longworth to the convention and
asked the convention to approve their
action. Promptly and peremptorily
the motion was voted down upon the
grounds stated. In vain did the trio
argue that the action of the delegation
might be misconstrued by President
Roosevelt and accepted as an insult to
his daughter The answer was, why
should he know anything about it?
This caucus is secret meeting and
whether he does or does not know, we
have a duty to perform to the sacred
cause of prohibition which must not be
interfered with by such trif1es as a
possibility of misunderstanding"
The letter to Mrs. Longworth could
not be withdrawn, of course. She has
not replied to 1t and It is not known
whether she intends to be present at
the convention, but If she does 1t will
not be as the guest of Kentucky.

Her childish pride wounded to the
bitter quick by the discovery that her
mothers credit was no longer good
until unpaid bills were met, IL year
old Louise Jansen, little mamma" to
her three baby brothers and sisters,
assumed the whole tragic responsibility
on her own small shoulders yesterday
afternoon, and leaving a pathetic mes
sage of farewell, she attempted sui
eide.
From the little cloth satchel in which
she was bringing her books home from
school. Louise took a bottle of black
ink. Her lips Quiyered and her heart
was gripped with a pain such as only
the heart of sensitive child can know,
but she did not cry out. Quietly walk
ing to one side Of the store in which
an unthinking grocery clerk had told
her blunt1y but not unkindly that he
could not longer trust her mother, she
drank the ink to the last drop and fell
in a faint.
Later on at the central emergency
hospital. where she was quickly hur-
ried, DIR. Zumwalt saved her life by
antidotes, for the ink contained a
deadly aniline poison. She will re-
cover.
Louise lives with her mother, Mrs.
Katherine Jansen, and her three
younger, brothers and sisters at 123
HLangton street. The father perished
in the earthquake. Since then Mrs.
Jansen has worked bravely as a seam
stress to keep her little family to-
gether. and though it has been long
pull and hard pull she succeeded
somehow until just recently. But upon
