PRESUMABLY INSANE
PATIENT RECAPTURED
Switchman Escapes While Being
Taken to Court for Examination,
and Gives Authorities Long
and Wearisome Chase

Every obscure corner of the court
house and surrounding buildings was
diligently examined yesterday by
deputy sheriffs, janitors and attend
ants from the county hospital in search
for an escaped patient believed to be
insane, who, late in the afternoon, was
recaptured. The man is o. p. Boes-
sler, formerly employed by the Pacific
Electric company as a switchman. He
was taken to the hospital several days
ago, after examination and treatment
at the companys medical headquar-
ters.
Boessler surprised his associates
about ten days ago by lyin down
while at work and refusing to get
up. He was placed in a wagon and
taken to the railway hospital. Medi-
cal treatment was prescribed, and
when the physician in attendance en-
deavored to get some information from
his patient, the latter replied that he
could say nothing until he received
messages from the spirits. He was re-
moved to the county hospital for OBJ
servation. There he refused to talk,
but apparently labored under the hal
lucination that he was communica-
ting with unseen persons.
Together with a large number of
other persons supposed to be mentally
deranged Boessler was taken to the
courthouse for examination by the
lunacy commission. AS they were on
their way from the van to the elevator
Boessler quietly dropped from the
ranks. His absence was not noted un-
til the patients reached the court room
where the commission was sitting.
Then E. H. Hutchinson counted his

S. FREQ Hogue, John c. Edwards,
formerly proprietor of the Bismarck
cafe; r. w. Barnham aEC Alfred
Tridett were other persons called
during the afternoon. None of them
would say anything regarding their
testimony. The last named witness is
believed to have carried on an inves-
tigation in the "red light district,
and, it is surmised, gave the jury much
valuable information.
Among other things it is presumed
he informed the jurors in regard to
the price demanded of denizens of GER
tain houses in the district for keys to
their apartments. It Is known that he
had this information and it is believed
the long, low brick structure, 444 to
44S Commercial street, was mentioned
by him as one of the places where
woman pays $100 a month for two
rooms and a bath, and In addition
turns over $50 when her key IL given
her. This money, 1t is said, goes to
"the boss" Whether this boss is
George La Cour, who is said to own
the building, or some other person,
is not generally known.
This practice, it is believed, Trident
has found to be a usual one in the
told the grand jury his window cur
tain story. This relates to Madame
La France, who occupied place in
the 'red light" district, but who Is
said to have refused to give up her
money for protection. Then, accord
ing to the story. she was threatened
with arrest If she so much as raised
the curtain at her front window. While
houses on all sides were blazing with
inviting light, and women beckoned
with amorous smiles, Madame La
Frances house is said to have been
dark and forbidding. Up and down
the narrow sidewalk opposite the
heavily shaded window paced police
man, with instructions, 1t is claimed,
to "pull the place" If even SO much as
glimmer appeared. Finally Madame
La France packed up and left the city.
Mr.. Trident was before the jury
about a half hour and was instructed
to return Wednesday morning. Coun-
Gilman CIampitt, with most of the 9TH
er witnesses, was excused early in the
afternoon. Mr.. Clampitt said he be-
lieyed the jury wanted testimony con-
cerning the affairs of the Los Angeles
Utah Oil company.
This concern, he said, is doing the
best 1t can under adverse conditions.
Expenses, he said, were very large
and, like many other persons, the Of
ficers and stockholders in the COM
pany were disappointed with the re-
suits thus far obtained.
There's oil where we have been
drilling, and we will get it," said Mr.
Clampitt. "I know nothing about the
sale of stock in the company. I was a
director and manager, and employed
the men. We closed down in Decem-
Der on account of the cold weather.
We have some valuable machinery
there, the best we could get. Our ex-
penses now are a dollar day for a
watchman. All the other men have
been discharged"
The grand jury will meet again
Wednesday morning.

WOMEN ASK ABOUT
HOMEMADE GOODS
Secretary of Chamber of Commerce
Besicged with Inquiries Regarding
Articles Made or Grown In
Southern California

There appears to be a great many
people in Los Angeles who have the
spirit to buy and boost" but lack a
clear idea of what is to be bought and
boosted. A number of the women have
either written to Secretary Virgins of
the chamber of commerce or called him
by telephone to ask just what, in things
to be eaten and worn, are made in
Southern California.
II am glad to see women taking an
interest In Prosperity week." said
Secretary Virgins. 1T is the women
who create a demand in the stores, and
IL we get them to asking for home
products all along the line the mer-
chants and manufacturers will need no
urging to do the rest. 1 want all the
women who can possibly get away
from their homes to view the shops and
the display windows the opening day
of Prosperity week. that they may get
an adequate idea of the products of our
factories. They ought to be on hand
on parade day, too, with their children,
and on factory visiting day they will
receive an, especially cordial welcome
from the manufacturers"

FORMER SENATOR w. A. CLARK
TALKS OF CAMPAIGN
President of Salt Lake Railway Again
Visits Los Angeles to Look
After Numerous In.
terests

Former Senator w. A. Clark of Mon
tana, who is passing several days in
Los Angeles, believes that the outlook
for William J. Bryans electiof is ex-
cellent. He has just Travelled across
the continent and has had opportunity
to observe the situation In the most
important section of the country.
"Mr. Bryan has an excellent chance
to carry New York, Ohio and Indiana,
and these should give him the election,
as he will carry more states than he
has obtained heretofore" said Mr..
Clark yesterday. There will not be,
following Mr.. Bryan'S election, any
financial depression or panic such as
the Republican managers like to de-
pict. Naturally, just before national
election, business is slower, as 1t al
ways is, but 1t will increase in all lines
after election. That will come because
Of natural business conditions. The
country has outgrown the time when
any mans election is it's salvation, and
voters understand that fact.
'I find the business outlook good.
With the Salt Lake road the volume is
increasing and conditions are encourag-
ing. The road will undoubtedly handle
a large travel to the Pacific coast this
winter. Copper exports have been ex-
panding, and as our own manufactures
take less than half the normal produc-
ton we shall see a better market"
Business Cares Numerous
Mr.. Clark has disposed of an i'm
mense amount of business connected
with his large interests since his return
from Europe this fall. He was sur
rounded by papers and correspondence
at the Salt Lake Offices yesterday, and
he will be in Los Angeles several days
going over his local interests. He ar
rived yesterday morning from Arizona,
where he has been inspecting his copper
and will go to Butte by way
of Nevada and Utah points. In COM
paratively few weeks Senator Clark
has made an ocean to ocean trip and
has cleaned up more business than
would ordinarily occupy the time of a
small army of men for several months.
Former Senator Clark Is regarded as
one of the most conservative of the
country's big men, and his view of Mr..
Bryan's prospects is considered a most
important indication by the politicians
because of its authors wide viewpoint
and his well known reticence as to over
stating the exact situation.

For failure to report that he had run
over Mrs. A. Jewett on Seventh and
San Pedro streets at noon yesterday w.
j. Miller was given a sentence of ten
days in Judge Roses court yesterday
afternoon.
Miller was an employe of the Subur-

two days with horse and buggy be-
longing to the firm. He had beer
drinking, and at noon yesterday, as he
was driving at full speed, he ran over
Mrs. Jewett, who lives at 1886 Crocker
street.
Instead of stopping to see what in
jury had been done the woman, Miller
drove ahead as rapidly as ever, which
action so incensed those who saw it
that they ran the driver down and held
him until an officer arrived and took
him to the police station.

MUST HAVE THEIR SUN BATH.
important Thing to Remember in cars
 of Indoor Plants.

Often in the arrangement Of the room it is necessary to place a plant in s semi-dark corner or, at any rate, away from the direct rays of the sun In this case the plant should be changed from time to time with one that is in the window, or if there is only the one plant in the room it should be given sun bath every day. Otherwise its life will be short one. A plant should also be turned about every few days, so that all sides may grow equally, or else one side only will be developed, and the other leaves which are turned away from the sun will not extend nor will there be any fresh leaves on that part of the plant to take their place, all the new shoots turning and stretching out happily toward the greater light.
 More and more are flowers and growing plants recognized as neces- sary part of decoration. How much smarter the entrance that is bordered with two stiff little box or spruce trees than the doorway with only it's stone or marble steps and iron-grated doors! The iron-grated glass doors with their priceless lace curtain within and the marble vestibule may be many times more costly than the simpler entrance ornamented only with its little potted trees, but this latter will look far more attractive.
 Window boxes are gaining an ever firmer place in this country, and the box and frs with hardy ivy covering the easement look cheerful. even when weighted down with snow. The glass. covered window boxes with their gay. colored flowers inside have long been | popular in chilly England, but are not needed here, for as soon as the box and spruce have been killed by an ex- { tended season of frost and snow it is already springtime. and geraniums, hyacinths, daisies, daffodils and pan sies will thrive in the warm sunlight until it is once more time to put up the winter plants
