ROBBERS INVADE
ANOTHER STORE
City Jail Crowded with Suspects, but
Long Sought Offenders Still
Battle Entire Police
Force

With the police detectives working
fourteen to twenty hours a day, one
half of the patrol force beating the city
highways and byways in plain clothes
to protect the citizen and his property
from the criminal and the holdup man.
and with the city Jail choked to the
doors with crooks of high and low de-
gree, the ''long and the short man.
continue to do business at the old
stand.
For the past two weeks Chief of Po-
lice Kern, Capt. Thomas H. Broadhead
and Capt. Paul Flammer have had all
the detective force and two-thirds of
the patrol force on special duty to run
down the two or more criminals who
almost daily have been cultivating
their chosen field of livelihood, holding
up citizens and merchants, and taking
toll from them at the point Of a pistol.
Despite the fact that the detectives
have worked overtime and packed the
cells and cages of the city prison with
suspects, and that the patrolmen in
plain clothes have followed suit and
crowded the tanks and bullpen with
men of more or less shady standing in
the community, the long man and the
short man continue to gather the coin
and property of this, that or the other
merchant.
0TdSFtSI OCT III vain
The city Jail, with a capacity of 125
prisoners, is at the present time crowd
ed with suspected criminals, men of
known bad regulations who have been
gathered in from time to time in an
effort to stop the so called wave Of
crime which is sweeping over the city.
More than a dozen replicaS Of the long
and short team are now adjoining the
inside Of the steel tanks and cages at
police headquarters, yet at 10 o'clock
last night the long man and the short
man appeared at the grocery store of
L. E. & c. C. Finster, S25 West Sixth
street, and while the short man stood
outside and watched for the policeman
on the beat, the long man walked into
the store and at the point of a pistol
held up L. c. Finster, who was prepar-
ing to close the store, and robbed him
of SIG.
George Brown who says he lives at
571 East Seventeenth street, was ar
rested at Pico street and Maple avenue
last night by Patrolman Weiss and
booked at central station on suspicion.
Brown was found by the officer trying
to buy cartridges for a revolver, and
when questioned said he was getting
the cartridges for the private watch
man at the United States dye works,
at 1865 San Julian street
The prisoner was taken to the dye
works to verify his story, and it was
found there was no Waterman employed
there. Then he broke away, and it took
four shots from the officers revolver
to halt him, which was done only after
a chase Of two blocks.
Ten other suspects were arrested and
placed in the tanks last night, and
while the police allege that all the men
are criminals and undesirable people to
have at large in the town, they have
no evidence against them of any crime
committed here. 1t is probable that,
along with the score or more of like
prisoners arrested within the past week
or two, they will be permitted to go
within q few daYs.

SECRET SERVICE
INQUIRY TO Be
FAR REACHING
CHAIRMAN HALE SAYS RE-
PORTS ARE EXAGGERATED
DECLARES INVESTIGATION NOT
TO BE PROLONGED
Presiding Officer of Senate Committee
Which Will Conduct Inquisition
States Roosevelt Will Not
Be a Witness

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-That the
wv proposed inquiry by the senate
committee on appropriations into
the methods of the secret service will
be comprehensive, was stated today by
Senator Hale, acting chairman Of the
committee.
This announcement was called out by
an intimation that the inquiry might be
prolonged until after the 4th Of March
to permit the summoning Of President
Roosevelt before the committee as a
private citizen to testify regarding the
operations of the secret service.
Prefacing his remarks with the state
ment that the investigation would not
be conducted in sensational way, Sem
ator Hale said:
The extent and use and the kind OF
work performed by the secret service
under the direction Of the heads of GER
tain departments, have greatly and
startlingly been amplified during the
last few years, and it is this situation
that has attracted the attention Of the
senate in the foundation Of is investi-
cation.
Presidents Message Secondary
'"The presidents message is only sec.
ondary in it's Importance as affecting
this investigation. The report of the
committee will not be in any way
limited as an answer to that message
Nor is there any intention of prolong-
ing the investigation until after March
4. Indeed, l doubt whether it ever en-
tered the mind of the most imaginative
of senators to call President Roosevelt
as a witness when he becomes a pri-
waite citizen.
There is very little in the senate in
vesttgation that has to do with the in
timatfons that members of congress In
either house have been Swallowed OF
spied upon by emissaries in the secret
service. / doubt whether the president
believes the senators and representa-
tives are unduly sensitive upon this
and his message, when carefully read
does not bear out the proposition kbat
members Of congress were .mpro @rly
influenced in their votes restricting the
secret service because of any criminal
ity on their part, the exposure Of which
was feared

NEW YEAR USHERED
IN WITH HILARITY
CONTINUED from Page One,

to one of the tables, dropped lightly to
his feet the figures 1909" flashing from
the interior of the lighted ball. Then
other lights appeared through hanging
panels of Indian woodwork, from the
sides of which were reflected the words
Happy New Year.
Again the delighted crowds cheered
their delight and again the noise broke
from its confinement in repeated ap-
plause.
High Times Elsewhere
At other cafes the same stylish
crowds were to be seen as at the Alex
andria, and many hostess must have
been made miserable during the even
ing by regrets lying on her reception
tables from social devotees who pre-
ferred to witness the departure of the
old year amid scenes of greater excite
ment than were offered in a formal
drawing room function.
At the Lankershim a delightful stage
setting had been arranged by means of
which the jewellers might the more en-
joyably witness the passing Of the old
year. Special music, both Instrumental
and vocal, had been provided in the
grill room and in the main office lobby,
while special menus and elaborate dec
OratiOnS in Yuletido colOrS provided
endless delight for the merrymakers.
At the Van Nuys, the Westminster,
the Angelus and the Hayward special
music, elaborate menus and extra en-
tertainment features were introduced,
and all these cafes were crowded with
funmakers who tarried long after the
dawn of the new year, winding up the
unfinished business of their watch par
ties.
Cafes Filled to Overlooking
At the leading cafes, at Levy's and
the Bristol, entrance was barred to lit
orally hundreds of gaily dressed par
ties, who sought in vain for some haven
Of rest from their tired efforts. Admis-
sion to both of thse popular places was
entirely by card.
At the Bristol plates were laid for
1850 diners, and three times that num-
Der clamored for admission. Chief
Steward Rubens had made elaborate
arrangements for de luxe dinner that
was an evident success if boisterous
approval was a criterion. Two orches-
tras in the adjoining grills were the
cue-makers for the pandemOnium that
prevailed, the extent of which may be
judged by the fact that it required
fully twenty officers in civilian suits to
keep the roysterers from getting into
the spot light from the tops Of the
tables. Suovenir song books, odd Turk
ish caps and hand-painted menus were
distributed, while 155 walters, twenty
assistant head walters and scores of
other help were required to serve the
dainties and the sparkling waters from
silver plated buckets.
Many of the churches counteracted
the unbridled gayety of the downtown
sections by the holding of watch serv-
ices,'' special programs having been
prepared in many instances.
When midnight announced the COM
ing of the New Year, those who had
tired of the din and had retired tn their
humble cots in the hope that the worst
was over were sorely disappointed
What had gone before was but sum-
mer's zephyr as compared with the
storm that followed. The crowds had
been only practicing.

NM ITH dancing and laughter, music
A and song the old wear was CAV


wv and song the old year was gay
ly forgotten last night and the
new year joyously welcomed. Nearly
everybody took part in some festivity
to celebrate the turning the corner of
q new twelvemonth. Theater parties
were numerous last night and many
of those who so passed the evening
finished with a supper at the down
town cafes, which were centers of roll
licking gayety.
The Mason had it's share of the smart
set, who turned out in large numbers
to hear Carmen While the audience
did not present so brilliant an appear
ance as on the opening night, there
was q brave show of beautiful gowns
on pretty women. In one box was
Mrs. Charles Wellington Rand, looking
stunning in a rich white silk empire
gown and black velvet hat covered
with sweeping white plumes. Her
daughter Lillian, looking very girlish
in maiden white, was a member of
the party.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Drake Ruddy
came up from the beach for the per-
Torrance and occupied seats in the
dress circle. The Misses Mary, Cora
and Edna Foy were seated near, and
not far away was a party composed
of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. J. Jones, Mr. and
Mrs. c. P. Kits, Mr.. and Mrs. F. A.
Rogers. Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Clover
were there and DR.. and Mrs. John R.
Haynes were also noticed in the au-
dience.
Mr.. and Mrs. George F. Perkins
were accompanied by their daughter,
Miss Helen Golf, who is an accom-
plished singer. Miss Nuncie Bittman
Of Pasadena, another popular singer,
was there. From away back in almost
the last row downstairs Ester Ferra-
bini and Ger. rdi GRAHAM listened to
the opera, and between acts the beau
tiful singer held informal receptions
for her friends. The signorina was
munching chocolates with all the rel
ish of high school girl and seemed
to enjoy the performance as much as
anybody. Those who sat near and
recognized the young star were much
interested and many polite chances
were cast in her direction.
This morning there will be an exc
dus of society people toward Pasadena
for the Tournament Of Roses. Nearly
every automobile in town will be in
the procession toward the crown of
the valley. Many of those who go
will remain for the sports in the
afternoon, returning home for dinner.

SPORTSMEN GET A HEARING
Appear Before Wisconsin Committees
on Fish and Game.

on Fish and Game.
Madison, Wis, March 27.-Large
delegations Of Sportsmen from various
sections of the state came to Madison
to attend the joint hearing of the leg
islature committees on fish and game.
The principal arguments in favor of
spring shooting were made by Henry
f. Cochems, Milwaukee, and Otto
Bosshard, Lacrosse.
They commended that the present
law discriminates against the great
mass of hunters who are unable to
hunt in the marshes in the fall which
are usually controlled by clubs. They
were willing to assist in protecting
game, if the law prohibiting spring
shooting would bring this about.
The opposition asked for protection
of the game in order to have fair
shooting in the fall. They believed the
objects of those favoring spring shoot
ing were for selfish motives.
