PORCH CLIMBERS
MAKE RICH HAUL
Home of Mrs. susanna M. de Bernard
Robbed While Family Is at DIM
ner Discussing Recent
Holdups

The home of Mrs. susanna NJ. de
Bernard, one of the wealthiest residents
of Los Angeles and widow of Samuel
de Bernard, pioneer settler in Los
Angeles, was visited by porch climbers
last night and jewelry valued at $1,000
stolen.
The Bernard family were at dinner
at their luxurious home S45 South Lake
street, when the robbery happened. At
dinner with Mrs. Bernard were Mr..
and Mrs. f. I. Bernard, son-in-law and
daughter
The party had been conversing about
the recent robberies in the University
district, when Mrs. Bernard had occa-
sion to go to her room in the upper
part Of her home.
She quickly saw that the lights were
burning, and investigation showed that
one Of the rooms had been looted, and
that the person or persons implicated
in the robbery had been frightened
away before completing their work.
Mrs. Bernard made a hurried inYen-
tory of the jewelry in her room, and
estimated her loss at $1,000. Among the
articles missing was a three-stone dia-
mond ring; one two-stone diamond
ring: a brooch of gold; a diamond
studded ring and two valuable watches.
The robbery was one of the first
porch climbing reports received at po-
lice headquarters, and 1t was evident
that the affair had been carefully
planned.
Scores of detectives and patrolmen
were detailed to the Westlake district,
but up to an early hour this morning
no arrests of the porch climbers had
been made.

So far little success has resulted
from the activities of the labor

The coal barons seem to hav,
considerable of an advantage I'm
der the present status of affairs
In the first place the mine work
ers have been negligent in th'
matter of preserving their organi
lzation intact during the past TIVE
lyears, and yeoman service is re
lquired to build up their unions IL
many places. Secondly, the mil,
winter is responsible for slacknes
! of work among the men, and con
lsequently they are in poor finan

This decrease in the consump

the accumulation of enormou
stacks of coal, estimated at n,
less than 100000 tons, tn
iprice of which would be stiffenet
and undoubtedly considerably aug
