HALF THE STOLEN
MONEY RECOVERED
Robbery at Los Angeles OF $780,,
900 From Registered Mail
Battles Detectives


Los ANGELES June 15.-Fifteen
thousand dollars in currency OF the
original $4,000 shipped June by the
First national bank of this city TO the
Bank of Bisbee at Bisbee. Ariz.. by
registered mail and stolen by unknown
persons before it left the city. is still
uncovered. The report received from
Bisbee last night that the bank had
received the fun amount was verified
today, but this amount was a dupli-
cate Shipment sent by the Los Angeles
bank. and not the original.
Half of the stolen money. contained
in two packages, one of $4,000 and
another of $4,000. was found yester-
day or the day before at the local main
postoffice, where it had been hidden
by the thief. The two remaining pack
ages containing similar amounts have
not been found and no trace of them
has been discovered.
Much secrecy is maintained by the
postal and bank officials regarding the
affair. 1t is known that a number of
persons are under suspicion. but the
evidence SO far unearthed is so in
tangible that no immediate arrest is
probable. Three. postoffice inspectors
and detectives are working night and
day, but have not yet been able to
find any trace of the missing money.
The case is said to be an exact du-
plicate of the Kansas City postofice
robbery. which occurred a few months
ago. when nearly $50. 900 was taken
The money was brought to the main
postof1ce in a registered sack from a
substation. where it was deposited by
the bank early in the evening, and
was to be shipped to Bisbee the fol-
lowing morning. No sign of its Ieav-
| ing the main postoffice has been dis
covered.

BRAIN BUILDING
How to Feed Nervous Cases.

Hysteria sometimes leads to insanity
and should be treated through feeding
the brain and nerves upon scientifically
selected food that restores the lost deli
cate gray matter. Proof of the power
of the brain food, Grape Nuts, is re-
markably strong.

and was taken to the State Hospital for
the Insane at Lincoln, Neb., raving

"They had to keep me in a straight
Jacket and I was kept in the worst

dismissed in the following May but did
no brain work for years, until last fall

Article Is Forgery

NEW YORK, June 15.-With Mrs.
Frances Folsom Cleveland. widow of
the late Grover Cleveland, called as a
witness, the trial. of Broughton Bran
denburg, the magazine writer. on
charge of grand larceny. began in the
supreme court today The charge grew
out of the sale of newspaper article
which Brandenburg is alleged to have
disposed of to a newspaper on the rep
resentation that former President
Cleveland was the author. Mrs. Cleye-
land afterward repudiated the article.
Mrs. Cleveland. accompanied by H s.
Hastings. one of the executors under
Cfeveland's VIII, arrived al the criminal
courts building early.
Assistant District Attorney Mott said
the state would show that Brandenburg
waited until Cleveland died before he
attempted to sell the article purporting
to have been signed by Cleveland.

a former president to- a false article
and inject the article into national

! No did not. said the witness.
SIGNATURE Is QUESTIONED
Mrs Cleveland said she authorized
Hastings to write the Times and say
that they questioned the authenticity
! of the signature to the article. Mrs.
Cleveland said she had received a let
ter, and only one, from Brandenburg
in regard to the article early in August
1908. The witness denied she ever
authorized Hastings to write the New
York Times and say that the signature
/ on the disputed article was genuine.
Mrs. Cleveland was then excused.

Brandenburg about a week before il

PRESIDENTS TOUR
OF VALLEY AT END
Taft Back to the Railroad After
Pleasant Trip.

Glacier Point, CAL, Oct. 1.-THE
hotel here, at which the president
stopped, is but little, rough board
affair, set right at the brink of the
high cliff overlooking the valley. The
presidential suite" consisted of one
room without plaster or other evil
dence of luxury.
Coming to Glacier Point the presi-
dent arrived at the brink of the chasm
just in time to catch the beautiful
effect of sunset. The delicate pink
and violet lights, filtering through
forests of pine, painted the ordinarily
cold and granite walls with glowing
tints.
On the trail the presidents party
passed through patches of snow and
many beautiful views of the water
falls, the cliffs, the domes and the
natural wonders of the valley were
obtained. Arriving at the foot of the
narrow, winding path President Taft
and his party were met by coaches
and taken to the Sentinel hotel, where
luncheon was served.
A s;xteen-mile drive then took the
president out of the park to the little
railway station at Ell Portal, where he
boarded the train

Hortense Nelson, In "A Dolls House.

To lovers of drama, Hortense
Neilsen's engagement here Tuesday
evening only, at City Opera House,
will be of more than usual interest,
for she will present Henrik Ibson's
masterpiece, "A Doll's House, !"
which has created more widespread
discussions than all of Ibsen's plays.
A Dolls House" is perhaps the
most human and appealing. The
story of the husband who makes his
wife a plaything, and a child whose
selfish egotism allows him only to
see the danger for himself, when he
finds that the deception she has
committed for himself may bring the
family into disgrace, is one of abb
sorbing interest.
Hortense Nielsen is said to play
Nora sublimely. She is physically
the doll wife in appearance and her
development of the role from the
lighter scene of the first act, to the
tremendous situations of the play,
closes with so fine a piece of acting
that New York and Chicago refuses
to allow "A Dolls House" to be
withdrawn.
No other actors have ever offered
it in this country for more than a
few successive performances. Under
the direction of C. A. Quintard,
Hortense is supported by Norval
MacGregor and her New York CON-
pany and carries a complete pro-
duction.
This is without doubt the greatest
dramatic offer that will appear here
this season.
Reports come to US that capa-
city houses are being played nightly,
and it would, not be amiss to advise
our theater patrons to secure seats
as early as possible. Now on sale
