BURGLAR CAPTURED WHEN
JUST ABOUT TO ESCAPE
Submits MeekIy, but Ultimately Makes
His Exit While Owner of House
is Busy Telephoning
the Police

REDONDO BEACH, Oct. S.-While
Mr. and Mrs. w. r. Albee were enter
tanning the pupils and teachers of the
high school at their home on the es-
planade last night a barefooted burglar
gained entrance to a second story Win
dow by means of ladder and was
about ready to depart with a bundle
of miscellaneous articles when Mr..
Albee, attracted by strange noises up
stairs, caught him by surprise.
AS the fellow was unmasked, un-
armed and showed no signs of resist
ance Albee ordered him downstairs,
searched him carefully and then bade
him wait while he telephoned for the
police While his host was at the tele-
phone the fellow made a dash for
liberty and darted down the hallway
and out of the rear door.
AS he went out of the rear door he
slipped on the step and went sprawling
on the ground below. Instantly Miss
Marion AIbee was upon him and
grabbed him by the hair, but was un-
able to retain her hold. An excellent
description of the man was given by
the guests, but none remembered hav-
ing seen him before.

CAN OFFER THE CITY
AMPLE WATER SUPPLY
EATON SAYS HE COMMANDS
OVER 1000 INCHES
Power Would Be Developed Sufficient
to Operate Municipal Lighting
Plant or Other Public
Utilities
1snecial to The Herald !

PASADENA, Oct. 3.--With the state
ment that ne could deliver 1000 or more
inches of the best water to Pasadena
L. E. Eaton of 60 North Ell Molino
avenue sprung a genuine surprise IN
the municipal water situation TO-DAY.
Mr.. Eaton says that he has almost
exclusive water rights on Big ROCK
creek, fifty-five miles from here, where
he has filed for 10000 inches of water.
At present about 5000 is flowing, ana
the supply never falls below 1000.
A site of 100 acres has been secured
for a dam which would back water
up over $40 acres of land. Mr.. Eaton
says the government has granted a
concession for a ditch through the 1or-
est reserve to convey the water to
Pasadena. Los Angeles or elsewhere.
The water would run entirely by
gravity and develop enough power to
operate the municipal lighting plant or
other public utilities.
Mr.. Eaton says he has had no est1-
mate made of the cost of bringing the
water here, but would place it at half
a million dollars.
The city at present is supplied with
only 800 inches of water, so the 2OOO
offered by Mr.. Eaton would be ample
No definite proposition has been made
on this subjecE1 although the matter
was broached to Mayor Farley and
others today.
eff Pasadena is interested we would
like to have the proposition looked
into, that's ALL" said Mr.. Eaton.

THE YANKEE AND HIS TIP

American travellers in Europe ex-
perience a great deal of trouble from
the omnipresent need of tipping those
from whom they expect any service,
however slight. They are apt to carry
it much too far, or else attempt to re-
sist 1t altogether. There is a story told
of. a wealthy and ostentatious Amerl-
can in a Partisan restaurant. AS the
waiter placed the order before him he
said in loud voice:
waiter, what is the largest tip that
you ever received?"
zone thousand francs, monsieur"
"Eh bien! But l will give you 2000,"
answered the upholder of American
honor and then in moment he added
MAY I ask who gave you the 1000
francs?"
'It was yourself, monsieur" said the
obsequious walter
OF quite an opposite mode of thought
was another American visiting London
for the first time. Goaded to despera-
tion by the incessant necessity for tips,
he finally entered the washroom of his
hotel, only to be faced with a large
sign which read: please tip the basin
after using" I'm hanged If 1 will"
said the Yankee, turning on his heel,
"I'll go dirty first!"-Everybody's Mag

OF HOLDING CONFERENCE
May Offer Heavy Reward for His Cap
ture-DefaIcations Now Estimated
as Amounting to About
$4,000

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. S-Sev-
eral of Cramer B. Morris victims are
arranging a conference of those who
have been heavy losers through his
Vaccinations. They may offer a heavy
reward for his capture.
This is the first day since the expos
ure occurred on which no new victims
have come to light. The total defalca-
tions to date are about $4,000.
A close friend who claims to know
says that Morris seven years ago lost
S11, 900 through mining deal, the money
having been intrusted to him by close
friend for investment. Rather than
betray this friend he has been robbing
Peter to pay Paul" Before disap-
pearing he said that if he had not been
exposed he would have been clear in a
couple of years. Many discredit this
story.

IMMENSE INCREASE SHOWN
IN REGISTRATION FIGURES

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 3.-The
registration figures for the county have
been completed and show an immense
increase in the voting population,
which,, according to the figures, is now
lila. This is an increase of more
than 25 per cent over the registered
vote of two years ago, which was then
