SAN FRANCISCO CROOKS
WORKING IN LOS ANGELES
Lunch Wagon Row Sheds New Light
on Crime in city-Main Grim.
inal Missing

That crooks from San Francisco are
in Los Angeles is evident from testi-
mony given in Police Judge Freder-
icksons court yesterday in the case OF
William Harris, Thomas Burke and j.
Ryan, charged with battery on the
person of Walter lodfelty, an em-
ploye of a lunch wagon at 22l IL
North Main street, Sunday night.
According to the testimony, Gregg
and a friend, George Bowers. were
walking along Main street when
Blackey appered and snatched
watch from Gregg's pocket. A strug-
gle ensued and the men fell into the
street. AS Blackey fell he showed the
watch close to the curb He quickly
regained his feet and started to run,
but was seized by Glodfelty, who was
attracted by the fight and was over
powered.
While Glodfelty was holding the al
legged thief, Harris Ryan and Burke
appeared and demanded what he was
doing. Glodfelty answered he was
holding Blackey until the arrival OF an
officer. With that the trio attacked
Glodfelty, knocked him down and bru-
tally beat him. AS soon as Blackey
was released Ryan shouted to him to
"beat it,"
In court yesterday it developed that
Blackey, Ryan, Harris and Burke re-
Gently had arrived from San Francisco.
Judge Fredericton gave the trio a
scathing lecturke and sentenced each
to go DAYS in the workhouse.

CLAIMS CENTRAL
BANK IS REMEDY
FINANCIAL MAN APPROVES
EUROPEAN PLAN
SAYS INSTITUTIONS ABROAD
FAVOR HEAD AGENCY
President of Chicago House Declares
Proposition Offers More compar-
ative Treatment for Currency
Problem Than Any Other
TBy Associated Press.l

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 16.-"Nine-
tenths of al 1.-The objections now being
offered to the central bank plan miss
the mark; they do not apply at all to
the kind of a central bank that is pro
posed" declared George Il. Roberts.
president of the Commercial National
bank of Chicago and former director
of the mint, in an address today before
the Kansas City clearing house
"The central bank of issue offers a
more comparative treatment OF the
currency problem than any other plan,
he said. defy
he said ut provides absolute elias
tieity under responsible control. II
provides a fiscal agency for the gov
ernment through which its enormous
collections and disbursements may be
handled with the least disturbance in
the money market.
1--WE are not pioneers in the movez
ment. We are tagging behind all the
rest of the world, There is not a
country in Europe but has delegated
the issuance of its paper currency to
q central bank.
THE japanese began organizing
their banking system in 1872 by copying
our system of national banks, with Is
sues of notes based on the public debt,
but in ten years they discovered they
had not copied the best system Then
they established the Bank of Japan, a
seml-ofilcial institution, modelled after
the Imperial Bank of Germany.
Bankers Come Together
'In the cities the bankers, under the
pressure of emergencies, have learned
to come together and assume, without
any legal sanction, some of the func-
tions of a central bank. We saw the
clearing houses i'm 1907 receive the or
dinary commercial assets of THEN
members and issue an impromptu cur
rency upon them. and that currency
passed into circulation and served the
purpose of money. The only trouble
with it is that it has no legal status
and 1T was in itself ~ symptom OF dis
order.
"Those of us who favor central
bank advocate not an Independent,
competing institution, that will gather
deposits from all oVsr the country, but
central organization of banks-cal
ii a central bank, or a central clearing
house, or a central agency, or what
you like-that will do for all the banks
under the authority of the law what
the clearing house did for its members
in 1907; an organization that will rem
der certain services to the government
and to the banks and to the public
which the Individual banks are not SO
well qualified to perform"
Speaking of the misapprehension
Mr.. Roberts said:
mo important departure is ever
made without opposition. Every move
ment of this kind must be pushed for
ward through maze of suspicion and
prejudice objections and counter
propositions"

quarters, but after giving his explana-
tion of the affair was released. He

DESERT MURDER
ENDS OLD FEUD
MAN SWINDLED IN MINE DEAL
TELLS OF VENGEANCE
TRAIL LED 10000 MILES INTO
MEXICO AND CALIFORNIA
Proof Said to Be Certain That De-
tective Gave the Death Blow
in a Lonely Ranch
House

ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. 16.-Know-
ing that the bones of the men who
swindled him out Of $4,000 lie bleaching
in the sands of the Southern Califor-
mia desert, Newton A. Grabill, a mill
owner of Daleville, returned home to-
day after a 10,000-mile chase and found
that his creditors, believing him dead,
had petitioned the Delaware county
court TO wind up his estate.
Grabin is seYenty-two years old.
One day last June Grabill was ap-
preached at his mill by man VINO
said he represented a brokerage firm
in Chicago. The stranger had pros
pectus of a gold mine in Colorado and
/ persuaded Grabill that it would be a
profitable investment for his savings.
Grabill gave the man $500 in cash and
made an appointment TO meet him in
indianapolis and turn over the remain
der of the amount he intended to in-
vest.
At Indianapolis Crabill learned that
he had been tricked. He took up the
trail of the swindler First it led to
st. Louis and then to Denver; from
that city to New Mexico and Arizona.
/ Grabill followed. The confidence man
knew the victim was on the track and
he doubled through the southwestern
states.
At length the swindler crossed the
border into Mexico, with which coun-
try he evidently was familiar. Grabill
engaged a Mexican detective and the
two followed the swindler into the Cal
lifornia desert. The pursuit exhausted
Grabill and he stopped, but the de-
tective pressed on. Within a rev
weeks the detective returned to Gra-
bill and gave him proof that he had
caught up with the swindler at a
lonely ranch house; that they had
fought and he had shot the swindler
dead. His body was buried in the des-
ert.
Satisfied that in his final deal he
was getting his moneys worth, Gra-
bill paid the detective and set out for
Indiana.

MILLIONAIRE FILES
BILL FOR DIVORCE
CHARGES WIFE WITH BEING
CRUEL AND UNTIDY
Husband Declares Spouse Caused Him
to Be Held in Restraint in
England for Seven
Months

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov, 16-The Call
this morning prints a bill for divorce
which was filed, it is said, by Walter
McCreery, millionaire sportsman of this
city, last Friday against his wife, who
was Miss Emilia Jane McAdam, q
member of an old and prominent
British family. McCreery returned re-
Gently from England, and Attorney
General d. M. Delmas was sent &c
London from here to look after that
end of the affair.
McCreery recites in the complaint his
wife was cruel to him and when he
demonstrated with her over smoking
cigarettes and general untidyness she
caused him to be seized by three men
and held in restraint at Billion Park,
Warwickshire, England, for seven
months. He escaped finally to Bel
gium. This occurred February after
many scenes of anger between the two
in which, it is alleged, Mrs. McCreery
used abusive words and epithets. The
complaint states:
said defendant engaged three men,
one a doctor named McEnery and two
entire strangers to plaintiff, and di-
rected them TO seize the plaintiff by
force. and the evening of February o.
1909 they did seize the plaintiff by
force and did confine him to a ROOM
and by direction of the defendant did
charge him before all servants and
persons coming near with being insane
and dangerous to be at large.
Thereafter and for more than seven
months the defendant by means OF
false statements kept the plaintiff in
custody and deprived the plaintiff OF
the management and possession Of a
large part of his property kept the
plaintiff in the custody of people who
abused him and made him stay in
rooms that were not swept for three
months and spread all over the coun-
try vicious and false character reports
concerning the plaintiff and his con-
dition of mind"
McCreery prays the court to grant
him the custody of the four children.
