DETECTIVES BAFFLED BY
CASE OF INJURED WOMAN
Elimination of Mrs. Laura A. Sim from
Suspects Leaves Police
at Sea

The mystery of the murderous as"
sault on Mrs. Margaret Staehle, as she
was sleeping with her 12-year-old
daughter at her home, S1S Gladys ave-
nue. Sunday night still remains un-
solved and the detectives working on
the case are baffled for the present.
The elimination of Mrs. Laura A.
Sim from the case, after being de-
tanned three days, leaves the detec-
tives as much puzzled as when the VIC
tim was found nearly dead from loss
of blood, Sunday night.
Detective p H. Murray worked on
the case yesterday but admitted that
but little headway had been made.
Mrs Staehle is slowly but surely re-
covering, according to the statements
of the attendant physicians at Vest
lake hospital. Although she is gaining
in bodily strength, the wound caused
by the slash of a razor is healing slow
ly, making conversation with her im-
possible.
The detectives do not believe that
Mrs. Staehle will be- able to throw
much light on the mystery, as she was
asleep at the time, but they are anx-
iously awaiting until her condition is
such that she can tell coherently what
she knows Of the doings of Sunday
night

YONKIN
PEEVED BY MAYOR
MAKES CHARGE WHICH IS NOT
SUBSTANTIATED
Sixth Ward Representative Says He
Sees Game of Politics In
Note from Mayor
Alexander

Councilman Yonkin was peeved yes
terday at what he called the attempt
of Mayor Alexander to play politics.
A communication from the fire COM
mission was received by the council in
which 1t was asked that the two posi-
tions Of inspector of public safety be
abolished. These positions have not
been filled for several months and
are not considered necessary to the
efficiency of the fire department. The
communication stated that it would
be better to save the salaries of 500
a month each attached to these posi-
tions for some other purposes.
I'm not going to stand for mes
sape OF that kind" said Yonkin. This
is an attempt of the mayor to play
politics. The positions are not filled
and 1t is not saving any money 10
abolish them. But the papers Will
come out in a few days and say the
mayor has saved the city hundreds
of dollars a month by having these
places abolished. am willing to vote
to abolish these places, but not on that
kind of a message"
The places were abolished and Hon-
kin voted for it. But an investigation
disclosed that Mayor Alexander was
not responsible for the communication
to the council in the form in which 1t
went in. He acted as president or
the fire commission that made the
but it was the sug-
gestion of Chief Lips that instead OF
appointing other men to fill the vacan-
cies of the inspectors of public safety
II would be better to apply the money
to some other purpose.

LABORER SANDBAGGED
AND LEFT ON TRACKS
POCKETS IN CLOTHES TURNED
INSIDE OUT
A. Greif Does Not Know Whether He
Was Attacked for Robbery or
for ReVenge-PoIice
Puzzled

All Greif, a laborerfl 6SS15 Mimosa
street, was attacked by one or two men
he is not certain of the number
while crossing the East Fourth street
bridge, near the Santa Fe station last
night, and placed, on the Santa Fe
tracks.
All that Greif remembers Is that he
was accosted by a man and struck
heavy blow behind the left ear, and
then he lost consciousness,
When he came to, half an hour later,
he was lying on the tracks and every
pocket in his coat and trousers was
turned inside out.
The highwaymen did not obtain
single article of value, as Greif stated
at the receiving hospital, where he was
taken, that he always made 1t a point
not to carry any money after dark.
The detectives who heard Greifs
story are at a loss to know whether
robbery or revenge was the motive for
the vicious assault, as two knife cuts
through the clothing of the victim,
which barely scratched the skin, were
found on examination at the receiving
hospital
Greif was positive jim his statement
that he had no enemies that he knew
of, and could only account for the as
sault by the robbery theory.
A slash through the right sleeve of
Greif's coat and another through his
shirt near the abdomen, bore mute
evidence of the attempt to stab the
victim, but In each case the skin was
merely grazed.
The blow that did the damage was
the one received behind the left ear
Greif was able to go to his home.
He could not give any description of
his assailant or, assailants, and the
detectives have but slight hope of ap-
pretending the highwaymen, or would :
beAmurderers.
The fact that Greif awoke before
any train passed was all that saved
his life, and he is uncertain as to
whether he rolled on to the tracks af-
ter being assaulted or was placed
there, but the police incline to the lat
ter theory.

DECIDES WOMAN
COULD BE JUROR
JUDGE HOUSER REFUSES TO
SUSTAIN OBJECTIONS
PEREMPToRY CHALLENGE KEEPS
MRS. ENGELMAN OFF
Court Interprets Law in Broad Sense
and oVerruIes Points Raised
by Attorneys for
Defense

That Mrs. Johanna Engelman of
Santa Monica, the first woman in Cal
ifornia summoned to do jury service,
may act in that capacity was the de-
clsion of Judge Houser Of department
three of the superior court yesterday.
Judge Houser refused to consider q
challenge of Mrs. Engelman for the
causes put forward by attorneys for
the defense in the action IN which she
was called as a talesman, namely that
she is a woman and was born in a for
eign country and had never been nat
uralized.
In his ruling the court held that the
law In providing for twelve men" to
compose a jury does not forbid wo-
man to act and that the word men
should be considered literally so as to
include women If they were qualified
in other respects to act. AS to the
question of naturalization, Judge Hou-
ser gave it as his opinion that Wo-
man becomes a citizen when her hus-
band is naturalized and Mrs. Engel-
man stated her first and second nus
bands had been admitted to citi-
zenship.
Prevented from Serving
Mrs. Engelman was, however pre-
vented from serving In this trial, the
defendants attorneys, Munson 7. Case
and Grove Walter, taking her from the
jury box with the last of their prer-
emptory challenges, after Judge Houser
had denied a motion for her removal
on the ground that her services would
be in violation of the provisions OF
state and federal constitutions.
Mrs. Engelman was among the hrst
twelve persons called and her re-
sponses to questions propounded by
attorneys for both sides showed she
was qualified to try the case, which
was that of j. A. McLain against the
Dahlstrom Metallic Door company for
s1O. 600 on account of personal injuries
sustained by the plaintiff when an ele-
vator rope broke during the construc-
ton of the Mutual Life building in
September last year.
No challenge to Mrs. Engelman was
made for the plaintiff by his attorney,
George NJ. Harker, who expressed him
self as willing to have her serve.

BIDS FOR ALARMS
OAZE COUNCILMEN
CITY ATTORNEY REQUESTED
TO UNRAVEL TANGLE
Mass of Figures with Unusual VarIa-
tlons Hurled at Law Makers for
Benefit of Fire and Police
Systems

Members of the city council sat IN
dazed sort of way yesterday AFTERNOON,
and listened to Minute Clerk Carroll
hurl a mass of figures at their heauS
and when he had finished the couhch
knew no more than before he pesan'
The occasion was the opening OF plds
for supplying the University olstrlcI
with 100 fire alarm and 5O ponce slshdi
boxes and a completely equipped man
ual central office. The bids were SUD
mitted by the five manufacturers OF
this apparatus that have been giving
demonstrations to the council ann 10
experts in the old Hamburger puilolhs
on North Spring street.
But the bids were in such shape tlldl
even City Auditor Mushet held up ms
hands when all the figures were SUP
mitted and declared he could not tell
which was the lowest bidder ana
would have to run through seVerdi
hundred pages of manuscript and 40
some expert accounting before he coula
tell the council which bid to accept
The only thing certain is that If the
city accepts any of the five bids SUD
mitted it will cost about $4,000 for the
fire alarm and police signal system
Attorney Asked for Opinion
There is some question of the regu-
larity of some or Ine DluS ana liCS
were referred to the city attorney to
pass on this matter. The city attorney
is expected to make an early reply and
it is probable the council will hold a
special session Monday morning TO
award the contract or reject all bids
The chief difficulty was that every
bidder submitted alternative PROPOSE
tions except the A. d. T. company
which did not bid on police boxes. The
specifications cali for 100 fire boxes and
a complete fire central manual office
and so police boxes and complete
police central office.
The Siemens- -Halske company, when
sent representative to Los Angeles
from Berlin, Germany, to compete for
this system, offered to install the police
central for s37P5, the fire central for
S27. .705, to supply the police boxes for
$3.50. each and the fire boxes for $l2s
each. But the total cost of the system
to be installed by this company could
not be arrived at for the reason that
the overhead wiring is to cost so much
per mile at the prevailing rate or GER
tain kind of copper wire at the time
the contract is let. Other considera-
tions also entered into these bids, some
of them making the cost higher and
some making a reduction.

COUNCIL LEGISLATES MEN I
FROM OFFICE BY MISTAKE

Unintentionally the health officers
at San Pedro, Wilmington and Gar
dena were legislated out of office by
the council last Tuesday when an ordi-
nance was passed abolishings the posi-
ton of cook and caretaker at the de-
tention hospital
Mayor Alexander called attention to
the oversight in a message to the
council yesterday and the council or
dered the city attorney to prepare an
other ordinance that would correct the
mistake.
The citys legal department has not
yet become accustomed to the fact that
San Pedro and Wilmington are part or
Los Angeles, and when the council
ordered a new salary ordinance for
the health department. on the recon-
mendation of that department, the
legal department prepared an ordi-
nance that overlooked the fact that
there are three assistant health Off
GERS in the new territory. The ordl-
nance passed by the council last Tues
day contained a repeating clause and
the positions of these officers and their
salaries were repealed.

The Theaters

oliver Morosco returned to Los An
geles yesterday from San Francisco,
where he went va few days ago to en-
joy the Portola celebration. He de-
clares the celebration big success.
Brown of Harvard" has been added
to the Morosco play list and will be
presented at the Burbank within a
short time. This is a play of athletic
life in the university just outside OF
Boston. 1t swas played in the east for
several seasons by Harry Woodruff,
proving the most popular college play
ever witten At the Burbank A. Byron
Beasley will have Woodruff's old role
and an elaborate production of the
piece is promised.
A matinee this afternoon and a per-
formance tonight will conclude EN-
met Devoy's engagement in I'm
Dreamland" at the Majestic. Dewey
received his usual "crank" communi-
cation yesterday. He seldom fails tc
get at least one letter of the sort in
every town he visits. The epistle came
from Lewis the Light" a character
we'll known in Los Angeles
When he was last here a woman
tried to shoot the actor because sbe
didn't like the way he treated Venus
in the play, then a vaudeville skit
Dewey was at the Orpheum that sea
son, and the woman was locked into
Clarence browns office until two plaiC
clothes men arrived on the scene and
placed her under arrest. A day or two
later she was committed to the insane
asylum. She carried a heavy caliber
revolver, and Dewey is thoroughly con-
-vinced that he would have been shot
had not Clarence Drown interfered.
The secret of the trouble Dewey has
with cranks all over the country
doubtless lies in the fact that his
play attacks the fake side of spiritual
ism and handles the subject without
gloves.
