EDWARD E. Sinclair, engineer of the

ne wrote letter to the bridge celebra-
tioh committee recently, in which he
dlrected the attention of the members
70 the way birds were patronizing the
structure. -
1t is an indication" said Mr.. Sin
cialr, that the structure is perfectly
strong and will stand all tests. 1 was
employed in bridge building in Iowa
several years ago, and before the bridge
was completed the birds strangely made
thelr home on it. This bridge was also
Crltlclsed but 1t is standing today and
mas done twice the work ever contem-
plated.
Another bridge whose stability was
questioned and to which the birds
11ocked was built across the Missouri
river by the Atchison, Topeka and San
ia Fe railroad, and this bridge is doing
great work today Many of my asso7
ciates in bridge building have noticed
lhls same true instinct of birds, and
ornlthologists say that birds in large
nocks VIII not settle on a weak struc-
ture."
The bridge workers are glad the birds
nave come to the bridge, for they are
prone to believe in omens, for most of
them have been sailors in their time.

LONG BEACH, Dec. 25.-A typical
Southern California Christmas was en-
joyed here today by scores of eastern
ers, who could not conceal their rap
ture over the turquoise sky, the fra
grant flowers and the broad, blue sea
whose warm waves Tapped the warm
sand The broad beach was sought
this afternoon by hundreds. Here, on
the broad strand, some sprawled in
luxurious comfort and there, where the
sand had not become dry after the re-
ceding Of the tide, others scurried
about for shells.
There were a number of bathing par
ties today in the surf, both east and
west of the pier. The Christmas day
ocean dip is demanded by many a
visitor.
"Such vista!" exclaimed a bust

after a frolic in the water and looked
off toward the mountains. He saw
flaming geraniums, snowy callas and
stately palms everywhere about the
town, and beyond them the everlasting
hills reared their heads. so often

CHRISTMAS EVE H0LDUP
USES FASHIONABLE STREET

PASADENA, Dec 25.-During the
night a telephone message told the
police that a man had been held up at
the point of a revolver at the corner
of California street and Orange Grove
avenue, in the most fashionable Sec
tion of the city, and while the one
telephoning said that he was the one
held up, he refused to give his name
for fear of publicity. The unknown
said that man of medium build rudely
accosted him shortly after 8 o'clock
last night, thrusting a 44-caliber Colt
revolver in his face by means of en-
phasis. The informant said that the
man got some dollars in silver from
him and gave a description of the
robber but absolutely withheld his
name.
At first the police thought 1t was all
a hoax, though Sergeant Longley went
to work on the case. Later in the
night. however, the report was con-
firmed by a street car conductor who
runs on the California street line, and
who had been the first man to reach
the scene after the holdup. The con-
ductor did not know the victim of the
robber, but thinks his name is James
Shoat. The man is supposed to live in
the South Orange Grove district, and
the police are dividing their energies
between attempts to locate the high
wayman and his victim.

TO THE GEYER WEALTH

Lands Left by His Ancestor ana
Will Fight to Recover
Them

POTTSTOWN, Pa, Dec. Getaways
a seemingly unsolvable mystery, the
career of John Michael Geyer, who
left Upper Hanover township, Mont
gomery county, about 1900, and whose
alleged fortune his descendants are
now trying to recover, has just peell
run out by Jacob M Smith OF thls
town. one of his "heirs." Geyer was
traced by Mr.. Smith to Armstrong
county, Pa, later to Maryland ana
thence to one of the West india Isl
ands, where he died March II, 1S4l,,
day after making his will. In this ne
beoueathed his island possessions

sons, and although they spent this,
they did not live long enough to settle

Yellow fever carried off the three
Geyer boys and completely wiped out
the family of John Michael Geyer,
leaving as the next of kin and helrs
to his fortune the progeny of his BROTH
ers and sisters.
A dispute as to whether their an
cestors spelled his name "Geyer' or
"Geiger' has recently caused 1aclloliaI
strife between the two sections of the
family bearing these names. Mr-
Smith says that the "Gelgers' are not
in the line of descent from John Mi
chael Geyer and also that they are
"off the track" by claiming that Con-
rad Geyer was the name of their an
cestor who left the fortune. lie was
brother of John Michael Geyer and had
also been in the West Indies, but had

BANK VAULT OPENED
BY PERSON FAMILIAR
WITH COMBINATION
ROBBERY KEPT QUIET FOR
TWO WEEKS
Pinkerton Detectives Have CIews to
Men Who Secured $2e,7oo from
Monrovia Financial lnsti-
tuition

MONROVIA. Dec. 25.-No arrests
have followed the robbery of the First
National bank of Monrovia, which oc-
CURED December 10. and the circum-
stances surrounding the banks loss Of
$29, ZOO are still mystifying the detec-
tive force and the sheriffs officers.
A thorough investigation of the
premises has been made. No evidence
even of an attempt to forcibly enter
the large vault has been discovered.
The money was missed, and that was
the only change in the condition of the
vault from the preceding Saturday
night 1t had been opened by some
one who knew the combination.
1t was, however, discovered that,
while the combination locks on the
vault doors were in their proper con-
dition, the time lock did not work. For
this reason any person familiar with
the combinations could easily have en-
tered the vault and taken the con-
tents.
The failure of the time lock to do its
automatic duty is what is puzzling the
officers. All the locks were thoroughly
overhauled the day of the robbery by
one of the leading experts in the west.
No suspicion, it is said, attaches to
anybody connected with the bank, but
Pinkerton detectives at work on the
case have made no exceptions in their
dragnet of investigation.
This investigation, according to Su-
perintendent Halter of that agency,
has resulted in several important clews
and he believes developments might
be counted upon in the near future.
The bank was without a watchman,
depending entirely upon the security
of the vaults time lock device. While
the loss is q heavy one, it in no way
affects the banks credit. Behind the
institution are some of the most sub
stantial business interests on the Pa
cific coast and in addition the bank
carries $4,000 burglary insurance.

Serlously-Both Had Been Re-

Loved

CLEVELAND Dec. 25.-A duel to
the death with knives in a dark room
Christmas evening between two suitors
for the hand of 14-year-Old Julia Pice
resulted in the death of Powell From
ich and the serious injury of Michael
Milanovitch, who is under arrest on
the charge of murder.
Fromich's brother was probably fa-
tally stabbed when he attempted to
separate the fighting men.
The girl was struck by Mllanovitch
and badly hurt
Both Fromich and Milanovitch had
pressed their suits and proposed mar
riage to the girl.
She refused each in turn.
Each thought the other the cause of
his rejection. Both men boarded in
the Pice home.
