PROFESSIONAL CROOKS
BLOW BREWERY SAFE
OFFICE is WRECKED BY THE
EXPLOSION
Only a Small Amount of Money Taken
by Robbers-Detectlves Have
Clew to Identity of
Thieves

Professional safeblowers cracked the
vault of the Edelweiss Brewing COM
pany, 500 Kellar street, at o'clock
yesterday morning. The safe contained
only a small amount of money, and SO
far but $25 has been missed.
Entrance to the offices of the brew
ing company was obtained by a side
door. This door bore marks of having
been pried open by a Jimmy"
That the work was done by men OF
experience is evident from the manner
in which the job was done. The door
of the large safe was blown nearly the
entire length of the room. Papers and
books which were in the vault were
scattered over the floor and the safe
was twisted and cracked until almost
ready to fall to pieces.
Persons living in the neighborhood
were awakened by terrific explosion
which made the earth tremble. The
shock caused several houses nearby to
tremble as if shaken by an earthquake
Several residents of that section said
they thought the boilers of the gas
company had exploded. A few rushed
10 their doors, but could not distin-
guish anything on account of the dark
ness.
Detectives working on the case de-
cline to discuss the matter but claim
to have a clew and expect to appre-
hend the men who committed the rob-
berry.

WORK BEGINS
ON RAILROAD
Los ANGELES-PAcIFIc EMPLOYS
HUNDREDS
NEW TERMINAL ON HILL STREET
BEGUN
Are Also Commencing Widening of
Tracks on All Their Beach
Lines to Standard
Gauge

With plenty o. men anxious for work
at the- Bethlehem institute under the
management of the Rev. DR.. Dana
Bartlett, and with plenty of capital for
wages in the hands of the manage
ment of the LOS Angeles-Pacific Elec-
trio railway, there seems to be plenty
of the good times" in Los Angeles
around Fourth and Hill streets.
The railway company has long fe't
that it needed a new terminal at that
section, it's present depot on Fourth be-
tween Hill and Broadway being made
quate.
However. work on the new building
has been put off for one reason and an
other, until men and finances were al
Rand. The above combination of men
and wages being at hand, work is be-
irg rushed through on the project
Iherrily.
The large building on Hill, near the
intersection of that thoroughfare and
Fourth street, which was used for a
garage blythe Western Motor Car
company for long time, is the prop
erty of the railway company, and the
latter will erect their new terminal
station there, thus relieving the con-
gestion o. traffic on Fourth street.
Through an arrangement with the
central labor bureau of the charitable
associations of Los Angeles, five hun
dred men have been furnished the rail
way company by the Rev. Dana Bart
lett, and the work has been going OH
with all possible speed for the past
week.
In addition to the new depot on Hill
near Fourth, the Los Angeles-Pacific is
planning to make the tracks of all their
Leach lines standard gauge. This will
enable the railway to put into opera
tion ali the new high-speed cars which
they have not been unable to use so
far on account of the narrow gaugesof
the tracks.
The work afforded the unemployed in
this manner is of the greatest value, as
many of those thus employed have been
searching for positions for many weeks,
and the number of men engaged in this
work will be increased from time to
time.

Admit They Have Engaged
in Robberies and
HoIdups

BY the alleged confessions of four
men who were arrested Friday near
the Arcade station by Patrolman Green,
the police have reason to believe they
have In custody gang of highwaymen
and burglars.
Ralph McCabe and r. H. Hall were
the first two of the gang arrested Pa
trolman Green noticed the men hang
ing around a saloon on Fifth street
near the station. He placed both under
arrest. They were taken to the CEN

was found on McCabe. They were

Miller is alleged to have confessed
to having committed a burglary and
