Within the Next Few
Days

when the boys have driven through
about twenty-five more feet of dirt
they will see daylight on the Temple

indications are that they will accom-
plish this by Friday or Saturday." said
G. H. Page, night superintendent of the
tunnel being constructed by the Los
Angeles-Pacific Railroad company,
when questioned yesterday concern
ing the progress of the work
I'VE have not yet received the cleo
trio motor said Mr.. Page, but we
expect it any day now. The motor will
be used to propel dirt cars on the other
half Of the tunnel to be built from
Temple through to First street. / am
not certain just when that work will be
begun, but it will be only a few days.
I'VE have a splendid force of 100 men
now on the day shift, and nearly as
many on the night shift. Blasting is
being done right along, the dirt hauled
out, the brick laid and the walls ce-
mented. The work is being finished
symmetrically and perfectly as we go
forward"
This tunnel will be 924 feet long, 2s
feet wide and % feet high, and will be
one of the best pieces of work of it's
kind in California. 1t has been in
course of construction nearly four
months, about ten feet a day having

+ TOXIC, Nov. 4.-Among the passen-
gers on the steamer Mongolia, which
will sail for San Francisco tomorrow,
are the members of the United States
commission to the Japanese Interna-
tional Exposition, Francis B. Loomis,
Frederick K. Skiff, Francis B. Limmet,
John c. O'Laughlin and w. A. New
comb, all of whom were the recipients
of much attention while in Japan, each
receiving a decoration from the en-
peror.
Ten of the Pacific coast business men
who have been visiting various Jap
anese cities will also return home on
the Mongolia, the others staying a
week longer to further pursue their
Investigations of japanese commercial
conditions.
F. w. Dohrmann of San Francisco
said to the Associated Press that the
result of their visit would undoubt-
edly serve to secure an improved un-
derstanding and the betterment of
trade relations between the two coun-
tries.
He added that the entire party was
thoroughly convinced of the sincerity
of the Japanese people in their friend
ship for the United States.
Tank Shao Ye, special Chinese envoy
to the United States, will sail on the
Mongolia also. During his visit to
Japan the envoy has been the recipient
of much attention.
In a public speech he said the world
had been mistaken in thinking that
China was even slightly unfriendly to
Japan. He asserted that a perfect I'M
derstanding existed between the two
countries regarding their policies, es-
pecially in Manchuria, and that all
questions at issue between the two ma
tions would be settled amicably.

JEWELRY TAKEN
HOTEL ACQUAINTANCE SEES
HIS OPPORTUNITY
HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES REFUSE
TO GIVE UP DIAMOND
Victim Falls by Illness Into Hands of
Man Who, the. Police Say, Is
Noted Professional
Crook

Mrs. S. =. Ripperdan, formerly a
guest at the Hotel Vladimar, Tenth and
Broadway, appeared in Police Justice
Chambers court yesterday afternoon TO
testify in proceedings brought to Sc
cure possession of a diamond earring
which had been given to the superin-
tendent of the Good Samaritan hospital.
The testimony of witnesses brought out
the facts of a peculiar robbery.
Last June Mrs. Ripperdan lived at
the Hotel Vladimar June 10 she sud
denly became i'll and was in a serious
condition. One of the guests OF the
hotel, T. M. Harnett, with whom Mrs.
Ripperdan was casually acquainted,
sought the hotel clerk and the sick
woman was taken to the Good Samart-
tan hospital. In order to facilitate the
movement of the woman to the hospital
it was necessary to give an opiate, and
while in this condition, it is charged,
Harnett entered her room and stole all
her jewelry, valued at 5000, and con-
sisting of a pair of diamond earrings,
three diamond rings and d gold watch
studded with diamonds.
Then, according to the story of the
witnesses, Harnett made arrangements
with the hospital management to de-
post one of the earrings as security
until Mrs. Ripperdan could secure
funds from her husband, who is san
Francisco business man. Accordingly,
the jewel was given to the hospital su-
perintendent by Harnett, who disap-
peared and was not seen again.
Several days later, when Mrs. Rip
perdan had sufficiently recovered to
converse with the attendants. it was
learned that her jewels had been stolen.
The matter was reported to the police,
and Detective Charles Boyd was de-
tailed on the case. After making in
vestigations and searching the city the
VpGnWpTp6 Meantime the
woman's husband had been summoned
from the northern city, and he appeared
and paid the hospital expenses.
The diamond earring was secured
later by means of a search warrant ana
held by the police department pending
further, proceedings. Yesterday, after
the testimony of witnesses had been
heard by Police Justice Chambers, he
awarded her the possession of the jewel
Although the police have made a
thorough search for Harnett they
have been unable to locate him. He is
supposed to have gone to Santa Bar
bara, as one of the jewels was recov-
cred at that place.
Harnett is said to be a desperate
man and a professional crook. Accord
ing to the police, he is wanted by the
authorities in many cities throughout
the United States and by the federal
authorities He is accused of having
impersonated a United States army Of
ficer while at Santa Barbara and mar
ried woman from whom he secured

CONFESS TO ROBBERY
OF OLD MANS MONEY
English Coin Gives Clue for Arrest of
Youths Who Tied Truck Gar
dener and Ransacked
His House

October 10 William Van Ness, a
truck gardener living near Redondo,
was held up close to his home and
robbed by two young men. They took
him into his house, tied him to his bed
and then searched the premises for
money and Valuables, securing about
$100 in money. Among the coins was
an English sovereign which Van Ness
kept as a pocket piece.
Monday last City Marshal Stanch-
field of Redondo obtained a clew
through w. c. Parks, a youth living
in Redondo, offering the English gold
piece for sale to a Los Angeles money
broker.
Stancbheld, with Detectives Hosick
and Zeigler traced Parks, arrested him
on South Broadway and booked him
at the police station in detinue.
When interrogated by the police,
Parks at first denied completely in the
crime, but finally confessed that he,
Cecil Munson and another young man
of Pasadena had robbed the old man.
The detectives went to Pasadena
and located Munson, but found that
the third man had gone east several
he confessed to the police that he and
Parks committed the robbery without
assistance.
Munson stated that he was visiting
Parks at Redondo and that at Parks
suggestion they had robbed the old
man. He told where they had spent
the money, in poolroOms and saloons,
and also where they had hidden some
jewelry and other property. All the
stolen property with the exception of
money was recovered.

LOS ANGELES WINS
BANNER BY GROWTH
STATE REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN
PRAISES US
Says Big Plurality Obtained by Taft
Here Is Attributable to Great
Development of Southern
California

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-Chair.
man Teller of the Republican state
committee issued the following state
ment today:
The Republican party is to be con-
graduated on the magnificent victory
given to Taft and Sherman in Cali
fornia.
This is victory given not only tc
Taft and Sherman, but also TO the en-
tire congressional, legislative and judi
cial ticket throughout the state, with
one or two exceptions in which the
Republican candidate was defeated.
This was due, however, entirely to To-
cal conditions, the general result assur-
ing one of the most magnificent of
victories the state has ever given at
any election.
while Los Angeles has shown tre-
mendous majority, Alameda county has
more than redeemed itself by running
q very close second to Los Angeles, and
it is only the enormous growth of the
lower end of the state that is RESPONSE
BILE for the taking of the Republican
banner from Alameda county to Los
Angeles.
I'm sending out this message the Re-
publican state committee wishes to
thank the various county committees
throughout the state for their willing
and hearty cooperation during the
campaign just CLOSED.
John f. Murray, secretary of the
Democratic state central committee,
speaking for Chairman Judge Racker
of that body, said this morning:
1T was simply a case of thS people
wanting Taft. So they elected him.
The greatest disappointment to the
party was in this CITY, being as it is
the best organized union town in the
United states.
Roosevelt has during his adminis
tration done things. He has received
credit for the building of the Panama
canal. the opposing of the merger of a
transcontinental railroad and for insti-
eating the insurance Investigations.
"'While we are not saying at the pres
ent time whether this credit was mis-
applied, the people today want action
and were led to believe that Roosevelt
was fighting the corporations"
The officials at the Democratic state
central committee headquarters con-
cede the complete victory of the Re-
publican ticket throughout the state.
with the exception of few members
of the legislative ticket.

JAPANESE GIVE BANQUET
TO PACIFIC COAST MEN

TOXIC, Nov. 4.-The various Jap
anese associations interested in foreign
trade tonight gave banquet in this
city in honor of the representatives of
the Pacific coast business interests
now visiting in this country.
The function was attended by fully
200 business men, and in the speeches
delivered there was a frank and free
interchange of views and ideas, the
general tone taken by the speakers be-
ing such as to clearly prove that all
apprehension as to the possibility of a
clash of commercial interests between
the two countries is entirely un-
founded.
The American speakers showed keen
appreciation of the receptions ac-
corded them by the business men of all
sections of Japan, and the function as
a whole is viewed by all who at
tended as being highly significant and
successful and portending a great fu-
ture development in the trade of both
countries.
