STATE SUPREME COURT
MEETS IN LOS ANGELES
All the Justices of That Body to Be
in ttendance-Calendar Is
Rather Light This
Year

Less than the usual amount of busi-
ness is to be transacted by the state
supreme court of California when it
convenes in Los Angeles from Mon
day, April 6, to Friday, April 10.
Deputy r. l.. Dunlap was busy pre-
pairing the court calendar for April yes
terday.
There are forty-eight cases on the
calendar" said Mr.. Dunlap; 'rather
light for the court, as usually they
have about sixty cases. However, there
are no motions yet-that calendar is
not made up.
'W. H. Beatty is chief justice of the
state supreme court, which will open
in the Bullock block, fifth floor on
Monday afternoon, April 6, at 2 p. m.
1t will sit in bank two days and two
days in department. 1 think it will get
through all it's work by then. They are
usually on time.
You see, this court makes no de-
cisions during that time.
1T is allowed ninety days in which
to read, consider and determine what it
will do in all cases which come before
it for consideration. The judges listen
to arguments submitted, written and
orally. while many cases are submitted
without argument and others still with
what are termed printed oral argu-
mentS."

W OMAN IS VICTIM
OF NEGRO ROBBER
AGED INVALID ATTACKED BY
BURGLAR
Is Threatened with Death if She Does
Not Tell Where Money Is, and
Thief Escapes with
Purse

While disrobing for the night at her
home, 3431 Hough street, Mrs. C. w.
Moore, an aged invalid, was >fright-
ened by seeing large negro enter the
front window, which had been left open,
about 8 o'clock Saturday night.
Where is your money!" demanded
the negro.
So nervous was the woman she was
unable TO reply. The burglar repeated
the question, and then not receiving
an answer grasped her about the throat
and began choking her.
'1 will kill you if you don't tell me
where your money is" he said. Still
Mrs. Moore was unable to make a re-
ply. He released his grip on her and
began to search the room. He found
the money, amounting to $325, and
then disappeared through the window
and escaped in the darkness.
The matter was reported to the Uni
versity police station and the burglary
kept quiet in hopes of capturing the
thief.
Mrs. Moore is a cripple and walks
with the aid of crutches. Early Satur-
day evening she went to a store a
block from her home and bought some
groceries. She handed the store keeper
a S. gold piece and received 1925 in
change. She noticed a negro standing
inside the store at the time. He
watched her closely, but she paid little
attention to him.

into possession of a treatise on fenc-

1888. This book had $50 years before
formed a prominent part of the library
of an ancestor of the priest and was
highly priced by him because of its
association with a man whose deeds
of valor had become part of the his

From the priest the three articles
descended to Clement Lambertini, a

them to his son, the father of Victor

RECEIVES HIS MONEY
AFTER LONG WAIT
FoRGER'S VICTIM is PAID BACK
SUM
Man Held by Police Two Years Ago
Returns Total Amount Re-
ceived for Fictitious
Check

Two years ago Herman Klatt, then
living in San Francisco, lost $450
through his name being forged to a
check for that amount.
He notified the police of that city
and told them he believed Max Schu-
bert was the man who forged and
cashed the check.
The police Immediately investigated
the case and the arrest of Schubert
in Los Angeles followed several days
later.
The San Francisco police were no.
titled by telegraph that Schubert was
placed in jail. A reply was received
three days later stating Klatt had left
and his whereabouts were unknown,
and that Schubert should be set free.
Capt. Walter Auble questioned the
prisoner, who is said to have confessed
to having committed the forgery. He
fa6 $500 when arrested. He told Capt
Auble he intended to reform and gave
him the $500 and asked that it be
returned to Klatt, saying he intended
to pay back every cent he had taken.
Numerous efforts were made to To-
cate Klatt. but to no avail, after wait
ing for several months.
Tries to Find Loser
Capt. Auble decided to use some of
the money in an endeavor to find the
man to whom it belonged. He COM
municated with the police authorities
of a number of states and finally found
Klatt's father, who lives at Burton,
Texas. A letter was written him and
in due time a reply was received stat
ing Klatt was working on ranch near
Fullerton.
During the two years that elapsed
Schubert sent small sums to Capt.
Auble and with each remittance was
a few lines from the penitent man,
saying he intended TO make the whole
amount good.
Sunday morning Capt. Auble visited
Klatt, who is working at the Santa
anita ranch near Fullerton, and told
HIM of the money that was on hand
for him at the police station.
Yesterday morning Klatt called at
the central station and was given
$34733.

County Authorities Considering Ad-
visibility of Permitting Miss M.

to Her Residence

Authorities of the county hospital,
where Mrs. Beulah Hawkins has been
sleeping for forty-eight days today,

Miss Hawkins, who lives on Grand
avenue is quite anxious that her moth
er be with her in her own home.
The crowd of curious people who
wished to look upon the sleeping form
of her mother troubled the daughter
not little, and all the many efforts to
awaken the sleeping woman, none of
them successful, have been a source
of worry and veXation to the daugh-
ter.
The county hospital authorities be-
lieVe that the sleep or trance in which
Mrs. Hawkins is now resting may last
for weeks or months longer and are
considering favorably the daughters
request.
Attempt to Awaken Her Fails
The last effort to awaken Mrs. Haw-
kins was made by DR.. Eugene p. Woil-
lard of San Bernardino, who sought
by forcing ozone into her lungs with
pump to arouse her
The attempt was unsuccessful, how
ever, and the daughter says she wants
no more such painful ordeals to be gone
through with by her mother.
Mother is resting in this sleep, and
she will wake up" said Miss Hawkins,

bats on the local diamond We'd
nesday, yesteid day and to day.
In the first game, which was,
by the way, the first game of The
season for the locals, the visitors
proved to be easy money. They
had mislaid their pitcher and
thoughtlessly forgot to say any,
thing about it. The absence of
this pitcher seemed to discourage
the visitors, and the score stood,
after 7th. inning, 16 TO 8, in favor
Uf the home team.
Yesterday the line up for both
teams was changed; Scooba's
pitcher, Smith, showed up, very
much to the discomfort of the
Starkyill} boys. Carter caught
Smiths curves, lust as easy"
when the locals failed to touch
them; but they touched so many
that Carter never got tired.
Il. Als'on pitched a fine game,
With HInkle behind the bat.
The locals got more hits, iu
this game, than the visitors, but
somehow they got only one man
over, while the visitors, with one
run to their credit, up to the
eighth inning, scored two runs in
the ninth.
Hnkle and Lucas performed
the notable stunts on Wednes-
day. Yesterday, both batteries
worked beautifully. Shortstop
