VAULT ROBBERY
PUZZLES POLICE
Two Members of Firm Had Been
Absent from Place of Business
but Short Time When
Thieves Entered

The safe of the Sleepwell Mattress
company, 629 South Olive street, is re-
ported to have been opened shortly af-
ter o'clock last evening and $3.50 in
gold taken from an inner compartment,
which apparently had been broken open
with brick. The police are puzzled.
The persons who compose the mat
tress company are c. Whealand, who
lives at Hollywood, and Arthur and
Victor Whealand, his two sons.
Victor Whealand called al the police
station last night and told his story.
According to his statement he closed
and locked the outer door of the safe
at $3.50 o'clock, then closed the place
and went to restaurant a short dis
tance away to get his supper
In the meantime, he said, -.rthur,
his brother, went to the store, opened
the door and went in and was surprised
to find the safe doors open; the inner
compartment broken open and brick
lying on the floor nearby. He hurried
over and told Victor of the robbery and
together they examined the safe and
found the money had been taken.
1t is said the money was placed in
the safe earlier in the day and was to
have been used to pay a certain bill
that falls due today.
The officers learned Whealand had
not been absent from the store more
than forty minutes They also learned
an employe of the firm had attempted to
enter the store a short time after
Whealand left the place, but was un-
able to gain admittance.

TOPEKA, Kas., Oct. ia special
from Newton, Kas., says train No. II,
west bound, on the Santa Fe railroad,
which left Kansas City last night at
$3.50 o'clock, collided head on with a
stock extra, east bound, at Braddock,
fifteen miles east of here, at 3:45 this

gineer David II. Roberts of the stock
extra, and the injuring of twenty-five

ously.

Emporia, were on the stock extra.
About forty head of cattle were killed
and the engines were damaged to a
considerable extent.
Among the passengers injured was
I. d. Stamps, Oaks, N. D.,
The cause of the wreck will not be

piece of single track six miles long,
between Braddock and Walton. With
the exception of this space, the Santa
Fe is double tracked between EN-
poria and Newton "a distance of sew

countering the rear wheels of the
wagon.
Anderson, who was driving, was

struck him in the abdomen with such
force as to kill him almost instantly.
His left leg was broken at the hip
Louis, his brother. was internally in
jured and was taken to a sanitarium
at Selma, where his death is hourly
expected.
Following the accident the driver of
the wagon jumped on a wheel which
he had in the wagon and rode to
Selma to procure help. In the mean
time another party of autoists came
upon the scene and took Andersons s
body and his wife, brother and daugh-
ter to their home in this city. An in

ANGELENO TELLS
OF LAND DEALS
TAKES WITNESS STAND IN
PORTLAND CASE
Marsh Tells of Proposition He De-
clares Was Made by w. H.
Smith and of Prom
ises Made
[Ry Associated Press.l

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 19.-I. M
Marsh of Los Angeles was the princi-
pal witness for the government in the
so-called Los Angeles land fraud suit
in the federal court today. Marsh ces-
titled that on the solicitation of VIII
liam H. Smith, representing the Pa
cific Furniture and Lumber company
he went to Port Orford and filed on 16C
acres of land.
Marsh declared that Smith assured
him that If he (Marsh) would buy stock
in the furniture company members OF
the company would provide him with
employment, locate him on a timber
claim in Curry county, and, when he
had completed final proof on the land
would purchase it from him for $500 ii
he should decide subsequently to dis
pose of it.
The witness also testified that the
company's agent had promised him
that the company would pay all filing
fees and other expenses incidental to
settling on the land and completing
proof,
Reimbursement Refused
After reaching Curry county and fill
ing on the land, however, Marsh said
the members of the company refused to
reimburse him for his expenses, and
when they declined to advance him the
the final payment Marsh admitted thai
be surrendered the claim and returned
to Los Angeles where the firm re-
fused to pay him the money he had in
vested in the business, as had beer
agreed would be done.
Counsel for the defendants cross-ex-
amined and sought to impeaeh the wit
ness by introducing testimony of Marsh
given at the hearing of the removal
proceedings at Los Angeles last spring
Marsh developed great stubbornness
and insisted the statements ne had
made at the trial of the cases hers
were true, despite the persistent efforts
of the defendants attorney 10 confuse
the witness.
Similar testimony was given during
the day by four other witnesses-W. j
Hornby, a solicitor of Los Angeles;
Malvern Dimmick of Ventura, Eugene
L. Bogie of Kern City, Cal, and Thos
Lake of Coos county, Ore.

APPEAL DISMISSED;
BILLIK MUST HANG
Belief Now Is That Slayer of Vzral
Family Has Grasped Last
Straw and VIII Pay
Penalty
[By Associated Press.I

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The su-
preme court of the United States to-
day dismissed for want of jurisdiction
the appeal OF Herman Billik from the
decision of Judge Lands of the Gnited
States circuit court for the northern
district of Illinois, denying the petition
for a writ of habeas corpus in the
case of Billik, who is under sentence
of death in Chicago on the charge of
numbering a number of people.
1t is believed Billik will not get an
other stay of proceedings and there
fore that the sentence of the trial court
soon will be executed.
The new federal statute requiring
federal courts to issue certificates of
probable justification in granting ap-
peals in criminal cases was brought
into use for the first time in connection
with this case. The states attorney
for Cook county citing the law for the
purpose of showing that it had not
been complied with and on that ac-
count asking for the dismissal of the
case.
The refusal of the supreme court Of
the United States to act in the case
of Herman Bi!lik of Chicago appar-
emily brings to an end one of the most
notable struggles ever made in the
history of American Jurisprudence to
save the life of a condemned man.
Billik was indicted two years ago
for the murder of five members of the
Vzral family, and finally sentenced to
hang. His last hope lies with the gov
ernor of Illinois.
Billik received the news of the action
of the supreme court with composure.
1t is stated his many escapes from
execution have given him the idea he
will never hang.

clared, without the slightest trace Of
