Obliged the CORPSE"
(Kansas City Starr

\hdnSdS ClIy STAR
An empty coffin rested on truck
on the Atchinson depot platform one
day this week. Out Of mischief one
Of the employees of the baggage room
crawled into the coffin box and drew
the lid down. No sooner was he
concealed than young colored man
with jaunty swagger and tuneful
whistle came along and wishing to
rest settled comfortably on the cask-
ct. He fell asleep and was awakened
by distressingfi moan. The moan
was repeated, and then somebody
said: "Oh-o-! Please get off my dead
body" The negro granted the re-
quest at once. With blood-curdling
yell he leaped into the air and sped
away. He attempted to cross the
bridge. but Cy Smith. fearing that in
his fenzy, he would leap into the
watery depth below, blocked the way.
Unable to cross the river, the colored
man sprinted to the railroad yards,
and when last seen was passing the
coal mine and still going South.

CHEAP ARMY RIFLES No MORE.
Government Will Hereafter Destroy
Discarded Army Equipment.

Chicago, April 14,-Chief of Po-
lice Shippy, of Chicago, explained
to-day that he had discovered some
weeks ago that many hundreds Of
the old United States army rifles had
been sold In Chicago stores indis-
criminately, and that he protested to
the War Department against the
sale of the weapons.
81 learned that the government
had sold large consignment of the
rifles to one man and that he had
sold them in turn to stores through
out the country" said Chief Shippy.
THE stores were retailing them for
almost nothing, and it seemed to me
a dangerous thing. With such wea-
pons obtainable so easily the COM
munity might be imperiled in times
of strikes or riots. The War Depart
ment has informed me that it will
sell no more Of the weapons, and
will melt up what remains of them. -
Won't Sell Any More.
aShiiStoH, AlTli 14.-NO more
will cheap revolutions in neighbor-
ing countries be encouraged by the
easy manner in which it has been
possible to purchase the old arms of
the United States. Orders have been
issued at the War Department stop
ping the selling of discarded arms Of
the United States. 1t has been re-
ported at various times that revolu-
tionists In Central and South Amer
lea obtain arms from the United
States.
1t remained, however, for the po-
lice Of Chicago to complain that the
sale Of the old Springfield rifles, re-
Gently discarded, was causing trou-
Bile for them. That complaint was
followed by an order against the sale
Of the remaining 5000 rifles by auc-
ton. These rifles may be sold to
patriotic organizations only.

POSTAL AUTHORITIES
TO STOP FAKE SALE
Jewelry Firm, Which Has but Small
Standing, Is Holding "Fifty-
Cent Box" Lottery
Scheme

A catch-penny fake, which is a lot
terry, pure and simple, and in which the
local postal department has interested
itself, is 50-cent box sale given by a
cheap "jewelry" company in South
Spring street. Several advertisements
of this box sale have appeared, but the
postal authorities propose to stop any
more publications bearing the adver-
tisement from the mails.
The concern that fosters the lottery
way equal to the jewelry stores which
do legitimate business in Los Ange-
les. The alluring bait held out is that
some of the articles in these boxes are
actually worth $40, and the statement
is made that each box contains an
article valued at least at so cents. In
the eyes of the law this method of
doing business is lottery and is strict
ly prohibited.
If the goods displayed by this Jew
elry'' house are any standard of Judg-
ing, the entire stock would not greatly
exceed $40, wholesale value. Its spe-
cialty is the cheapest kind of cheap
jewlery, white topazes" set in gilded
metals, bits of colored glass, beach
moonstones and other articles that gilt
ter and catch the vulgar eye. The spe-
cial price for these gauds is SO cents.
Genuine white topaz set in 1S-carat
gold plated rings for So cents is one
way this place uses to catch customers.
The attention of the city prosecutor
office has been called to the lottery
scheme, and it probably will be sup
pressed.

VALUE OF TEAM
AND INDUSTRIAL
TRACK INVOLVED
LOS ANGELES RAILROADS EX-
PLAIN POSITION
EXPERTS PLACED ON WITNESS
STAND GIVE TESTIMONY
Lands for Various Trackage Are
Valued by Right of Way Agent,
Who Places Low Price
on Ground

The question Of the value of team
and industry track lands is playing
an important part in the hearing now
in progress before Special Examiner j.
d. Lederman, representing the inter-
state commerce commission, and in
which all roads entering Los Angeles
are involved.
The defendant roads yesterday Of
fered evidence to rebut that given by
the real estate experts introduced by
the complainants. This was one OF the
features of the day.
The other was the cross-examina-
ton of Yardmaster Burdette by Mr.
Kuster of counsel for the compla1nants
This cross-examination consumed all
the afternoon, and the measuring OF
steel between the railroad man and the
attorney was interesting in spite OF the
dryness of the subject.
Mr.. Burdette's testimony related to
the breaking up of a train on it's ar
rival, the segregation of the cars &C
cording to classification, the number
of engines used, their hours, the total
hours for all crews, the number of cars
handled, the time and distance IN
volved, the situation of classification
tracks and the movement of transfer
cars. Mr.. Burdette was closely ques-
toned as to the storage tracks, the dis
lance from the center of one track to
a twin track, and as to whether or
not these tracks, now used for storage
cars, were not originally intended as
industry tracks, and particularly II
thew were not available for team
tracks. He admitted that storage
tracks would not be constructed as are
those now used by the Southern Pa
cific.
States Cost of Team Tracks
F. A. Waters, right of way agent for
the Salt Lake road, gave some figures
as to the cost of team track lands to
that road,~ placing the purchase price
as low as cents square foot. Ground
for other tracks cost 8 cents and l.
cents square foot. He declared that
values where these lands are situated
had not increased.
T. w. Pate of the Santa Fe freight
department offered statements as to
the amount Of shipping done and the
time consumed in order to controvert
the statements made by two inspectors
at San Francisco.
Roadmaster Stevenson of the South
ern Pacific testified as to the cost of
maintenance of the Industry spurs and
yard tracks and also the cost of main
line maintenance. He asserted that It
cost as much to maintain industry
tracks as it did the main line. the av-
erage annual expense a mile being
$1,000.
G. M. SoRelle was introduced by Mr..
Durbrow of the Southern Pacific as q
real estate expert. He placed the value
of lands at least 40 per cent lower than
the appraisement made by Allen and
Mcconnell.
At the afternoon session Mr. Burdette
was placed on the stand for cross-ex-
animation, and the hearing continued
until he had finished. The case will be
resumed at o'clock this morning. Mr.
Durbrow departed for San Francisco
last night and the Santa Fe and Salt
Lake roads will have their innings
now. The hearing probably will last
for several days.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-05-22

where the girl was found is the bellef
of the police, and their endeavors yes
terday were directed to finding where
the crime was committed.
Last night they reported that their
search was futile and no new cleWs
were discovered.
Detective Tom Rico, who has been at
work on the case since the finding of
the body, stated last night that the case
was as much of a mystery as at the
time the body was discovered. we
have run down every possible cleW,
said Rico, land have not found one
that is plausible.
"The case rests just as it did at
first, but we will continue to work as
long as there is a possible chance OF
landing the fiend who committed the
murder"
Yesterday afternoon Patrolmen Rob-
erts and Walker arrested George val
dez, a Mexican, on suspicion. Chief
Dishman issued orders that all MeXi-
cans answering the description given
by Martin Baumister, teamster living
at 4511 Sunset boulevard, of Mexican
seen walking along the road in front OF
Annie Poltera, Monday afternoon, be
arrested.
Valdez told weird tale of having
been in the vicinity, but on investiga-
ton it was found that he had no con-
nection with the case and will doubt
less be released today. At first it was
thought Valdez was the right man, as
spots on his clothing looked like blood
stains, but it is now thought Valdez
knows nothing of the case.
Children to Aid in Search
Baumister told of having seen a Mexi-
can about 200 yards ahead of Annie
Poltera as she was returning from
school Monday afternoon. He said that
he did not hear of the murder until
Thursday afternoon and reported the
story of the Mexican to Deputy Sheriff
Johnson. The officers are still working
on the clew and the arrest of all
Mexicans answering the description
given by Baumister has been the result.
Today the former schoolmates of the
young girl will assist the officers in
their search. 1t is not yet known
where the school books and lunch
basket of the girl are. 1t is known
she had these in her possession when
she started from school Monday ater-
noon If these books and lunch basket
can be located the officers believe that
a good clew will be unearthed.
To find where the murder was COM
mitted is now the aim of those work
ing on the case. The fact that num-
Der of hairs were near the body of the
dead girl is not considered a good clew.
The hairs were dark brown, but as to
the probability of locating the person
from whom the hairs were taken dur
ing the struggle that must have ensued
the police have doubts.

ALLEGED he TRIED
TO STAY HIS WIFE
HUSBAND PLEADS TEMPORARY
INSANITY
For Second Time Martin Becomes
HystericaI in Police Court Room
and Is Placed in Strait.
Jacket

The trial of Edward G. Martin,
charged with attempt to murder his
wife. was begun yesterday morning
before Police Justice Chambers. The
session occupied the entire day and
was continued until this morning. The
evidence was heard behind closed
doors, and the efforts of the prosecu-
ton were directed to proving that the
attempt at murder was maliciously
made. The plea of the defense is tenn
porary insanity.
At the close of the trial Martin coll
lapsed in the courtroom and was taken
to the receiving hospital. He raved in
cohc- ntly and attempted to end his
life. 1t was necessary to place the
prisoner in a straitjacket.
It is the second time that Martin
has become hysterical in the court
room, and the officers have decided to
watch his movements in order to as
ing insanity or not.
Martin is alleged to have shot his
wife on the night of March 2S while
she was walking with woman friend
at the corner of Sixth and Main
streets.
The prosecution alleges that Martin,
after firing one shot, deliberately stood
over the PROSTATE body of his wife and
fired three more shots 1t is also al
legged that he uttered an oath and
made the statement that he hoped he
had fixed the woman for good
Shortly after shooting his wife Mar
tin walked across the street and at
tempted suicide, firing one bullet into
his head. His attempt to end his life
resulted in but slight injury. The wife
is still in a serious condition, and it
was owing to this fact that the trial
yesterday was held behind closed
doors.
Martin was employed as a cook at
the Delmar cafe, and. 1t is said, became
estranged from his wife and attempted
murder during a period of jealousy.
The trial will be resumed this morning
if Martins condition has improved.
