FORMER JAILER is
SENT TO HOSPITAL
JESSE CASE BECOMES VIOLENT
IN COURT ROOM
Struggles with Officers and Leaves
Marks on Several Before He
Is Committed by
Judge

SAN BERNARDINO, May 2S.-Jesse
Case, former county jailer, was today
committed to the state hospital at Pat
ton. For the past two months, since
his resignation as jailer on account of
poor health, it has been generally
known that his mind was unbalanced,
but it was not until today that he
showed signs of violence.
He was taken into custody late last
night by his former brother officers
from the sheriff's office, while he was
roaming about town inviting all his
friends on an imaginary trip around
the world and although he showed no
signs of violence at this time or during
the night, when it was attempted to
take him into the court room this
morning he broke loose for moment
from the grasp of his guardians, and
before they succeeded in getting BIN
under control he had laid out three
stalwart deputies.
He was finally apparently pacified
and taken into the court room unfet-
tered, where he again struggled to get
free and battered up several of the
officers. Judge Bledsoe, in committing
the unfortunate man to the hospital,
criticised the act of the sheriff's men
for bringing him into court without his
arms properly muffed.
Case was known throughout the
county as an exceptionally capable Off
Ger and has many friends. 1t is thought
that treatment in the hospital will re-
store his mind.

NOTES FROM REDLANDs

REDLANDS, May 2S.-William e.
Brown. alias Bowden, was arrested
here Yesterday on complaint of the AS
ISOLATED Charities. Brown has lived
on the funds of the Associated Chart
ties. He claims to be a sufferer OF
tuberculosis. He is accompanied py
his wife and three children, less than
wears old and it was through the in
fluence of his wife that he was given
one more chance Policeman Conklin

came from the court room and he VIII
be carefully watched until it is known
whether he wants to work or not.
Authorities arrested C. w. Draper

wanted in San Bernardino for the same
offense and was later sent to the

All plans have been made for the
laying of the corner stone of the new
Masonic temple on Cajon street. June
12 at o'clock p. M, has been decided

geles with other officers of the grand

The monthly meeting of the directors
of the Settlement was held and they

GIRL WIFE ADMITS
SHARE OF ROBBERY
WITH HUSBAND FORMS PLOT
TO STEAL DIAMONDS
Father of Young Woman from Fresno
Goes to Long Beach to
Straighten Out
Tangle
Especial to The Herald

LONG BEACH, May 2S.-Mrs. Lee
Warren, accompanied by her father, O
G. Summers, an influential citizen of
Fresno, arrived here this afternoon
Mrs. Warren being in the custody OF
Chief of Police Williams, who arrested
her in Fresno on a charge of completely
in the robbery of Miss Bette Hart
diamonds, valued at $400, from the bath
house Tuesday of this week.
The woman made a confession of her
part in the scheme to rob Miss Hart,
She said Warren told her if she would
go to the bath house he would get Miss
Hart to put her valuables in his box
and then would give Mrs. Warren his
key, and she should give him hers.
Mrs. Warren took the jewels and left
for Los Angeles After Warren was
placed under arrest he telephoned her
to leave hastily for Fresno. This moved
the police to go after her.
One ring was pawned for $50 at Uncle
Ikes pawnshop on First street. and one
for $50 at the Main street store. She
threw the watch under bush in yard
at 1912 South Flower, where it was
found by Miss Goergette Knaus, Z years
old.
Mrs, Warren is under Is years of age,
so she was taken before Judge Wilbur
this afternoon in Los Angeles. She
eloped with Warren, and her father
said he was willing to help give the
young and erring husband his deserts
for leading the young woman into
wrongdoing.
The police say they have evidence
that Warren and a confederate had
formed a plot to get one of the stolen
rings on a finger of the cashier in the
bath house under a preteXt. Then, the
police say, Warren would have made a
strong declaration that this employee
had rifled the box containing the jew
elry.
Mrs. Warren was taken before Juve-
nile Court Judge Wilbur at Los An
geles. Judge Wilbur made her q ward
of the court and allowed her to leave
in the care of her father. The young
wife will have to report at intervals
to the juvenile court.

CHEAPER FREIGHT
RATES ARE IN VIEW
SHIPPERS CLIPPER LINE GETS
MORE VESSELS
Another Step Made in Effort to Break
Up Monopoly Which Controls
Water and Land
Hauls

SAN PEDRO. May 2S.-The 800 tons
of asphalt which were recently shipped
from East San Pedro to New York via
San Francisco will go around the Horn
on the Acme, one of the American ships
operated by the Arthur Sewall com
pany, which is managed by Bates &
Chesebrough of San Francisco.
Late dispatches from San Francisco
state this company has purchased re-
Gently some seven ships from the
Standard Oil company and that these
will be added to the Shippers Clipper
line" The reason given for the sale
is said to be because of the establish
ment on this coast of refineries, thus
doing away with the necessity of the
transportation of oil in cases. Big
tank steamers now carry all the oil
both crude and refined
The merchants of Los Angeles have
been contemplating shipping by this
line, which is the only line not under
the control of the railroads.
The rates quoted run from Sc to 81
per ton. While it is inconVenient for
Los Angeles wholesalers to reship at
San Francisco, it is stated considerable
business will soon be diverted from the
American Hawaiian line of steamers to
the sailing craft. This will be one
step in the process of getting cheaper
freight rates from the Atlantic sea-
board to Southern California.
With public docks here controlled by
the Greater City, independent steam
ers and sailing ships will be induced to
put in here and the opening of the
Panama canal will be the final stroke
to break down the railroad monopoly
which today controls not only the
transcontinental land haul, but prac-
tically all of the water transportation,

make the sentence less than ten years.

knew Wood was penniless, but it would
perhaps serve as a spur to honest effort
to know that judgment for criminal

would therefore let the fine stand.
