UNCLE SAM AT ENEMY'S MERCY
General Staff Of Army Sounds Warn
ing About California Coast.

That The ha:h0r OF San Pcdro. Gal.
should be fortified without delay, is
the gist of a report Of the general
staff Of the army made &" thc SNrrc-
tary OF war. The report Of the general
staff discusses the unprotected CON
ditiOn of the entire southern CalifOr-
mia district. The country is vastly
rich, and San Pedro would be an ad-
~vantageous point for an enemy to
land a force which could hold its posi-
ton indefinitely. "A certain oriental
power is the way the report talks of
the possible enemy that might land at
San Pedro. The seizure Of San Pedro
would follow after Pearl IIarbor, IIa-
wall, had been occupied by the enemy.
for the sake Of the argument IT being
assumed that the Americans would
have no nava! force in Pacific waters
strong enough to prevent the enemy's
designs.

Lawrence NJ. Jones, a wealthy dry
goods merchant Of Kansas City, and
his family were gathered into b IL
brary of their home Tuesday by a man
with an automatic revolver and q
dynamite bomb who demanded $1,000.
After clever m~aneuvering Mr.. Jones
managed to gain the mans consent to
accompany hin and his son to a bank
for the funds. While the trio were
about to enter the Jones motor car Mr..
Jones threw himself upon the man
from behind and seized him around the
chest in such a fashion al to pinion
his arms. At the same time, by a trick
he learned when q boy, he kicked the
mans feet from under him. Both fell
and rolled down the stone steps at the
edge the Jones porch.

young man seized the mans pistol in
one hand just as the trigger was
pulled. The weapon failed to explode.
Mrs Jones then ran in close and seized
the bag containing the bomb, which she
carried to the house. An examination
of 1t showed that the matches had ig-
nited, but failed to explode the powde.
and dynamite surrounding them.
The man gave his name as c. n.
Garnett, but admitted this was as

dynamite. He had rented a house in
Independence, Mo, and fitted it with
chains where he intended to hold Jones
a prisoner. He said he had frequently
contemplated suicide because Of his
poverty and bad health.
