15 MONKEYS CALL
ON WOMAN; HELP!
Jockoes Scramble Through Mrs.
Lippman'S WindoWs-Wa
Neighbor Ryder Arrested

Because fifteen monkeys made un-
bidden use of her parlor and dining
room last Monday evening, Mrs. Celia
Lippman, 228O Ewing street, Edendale,
asked Deputy District Attorney Hill
yesterday afternoon to have Antonio
Ryder, her next door neighbor and
owner of the monkeys, arrested.
Ryder has for years raised monkeys
and dogs which he trains for cxhibi-
tion in vaudeville houses. Many Of
his cleverest animals have been seen
repeatedly in theaters in this city and.
according to showmen, are among the
best in the business.
According to Mrs. Lippman, Ryder
has been allowing his dogs to run as
they please, much to the annoyance
of neghbors. Monday evening, she
says, the animal trainer accused her
of poisoning two of his dogs which had
been sleeping in Mrs. Lippman's
clothes basket on the back porch.
When she resented this charge, she
declared Ryder deliberately loosed the
monkeys and allowed them to leap
through open windows into her parlor
and dining room.
'I was seated at the table Monday
evening"" said Mrs. Lippman, "when
those horrid monkeys came tumbling
through my windows. was frightened
10 death besides being put to the trou-
BILE of clearing my homo of monkeys.
1t was certainly a put-up game
Are those animals SO trained that
they will encroach on the property of
neighbors when Ryder so orders?" At
torney Hill asked the woman.
"They are" Mrs. Lippman replied.
Their intelligence is nothing short of
human"
An effort will be made this morning
to serve a warrant charging a dis
turbance of the peaCe on Ryder.

Especial to The lIeralD

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2l.-Fishcd
from the waters of Spreckels lake, into
which she had cast herself, her rescuer
being a reputed man of wealth, whose
name is concealed. Edna Lotus Rheln-
strom, wife of Harry A. Rheinstrom of
Cincinnati, now confined in stockton
asylum, lies seriously i'll at u hotel near
Golden Gate park.
The attempted suicide followed three
weeks of unsuccessful effort to obtain
engagements in vaudeville or to main-
tain herself in the style to which she
had been accustomed.
In her desperation the actress went
to Golden Gate park and plunged into
the lake. A man who was passing in
an auto stopped his car, waded in and
dragged her out. Promptly the rescu-
err hurried her away to a hotel. where
he is said to be trying to make her
worldly circumstances happier.

MINE KILLS 800
Fire Cuts Off ResCuerS from Men
Blocked in Pit by the
Explosion

| BOLTON. Eng, Dec. 21.-More than
800 men lost their lives in the ex-
plosion in the Little Hutton colliery of
the Hutton Colliery company, located a
short distance from Bolton.
| The explosion occurred early tins
morning, soon after the miners had en-
| tered the pit. The lower passages were
blocked. Heroic efforts were made by
rescue parties all day, but fire pre-
vented tho rescuers from penetrating
beyond 400 yards into the workings.
At $3.50 o'clock tonight the rescuers
were called out of the mine and a con-
ference was held, at which Government
Inspector Gerard, the engineer and the
mine manager were present.
Inspector Gerard issued report,
after making a descent into the pit. in
which he said it was impossible that
| any of the miners are still alive. He
| added that nothing could be done ex-
| cept to bring up twenty bodies found
| living near the shaft. This was COM
municated to the anxious crowds
around the pit mouth, after which the
bishop of Manchester conducted a
touching service in the open air, and
the people slowly dispersed.
No explanation is given as to the
cause of the explosion.
This is the second great mine disas-
ter in England this year. an explosion
having occurred in the wellington col
| lery at White Haven, Cumberland. on
| Nav 12, in which 1856 miners were killed.
Rescuers brought out eight men, still
living, but the majority of these were
in a serious condition from the noxious
gases. Ten bodies also were removed
and twenty additional bodies We're
found partly covered by heavy falls OF
coal.
Late tonight the colliery fans were
again started and the air was found to
be fairly good. Arrangements were
made for relays of rescuers to go every
three hours throughout the night. To-
wards midnight two more miners were
found alive. They were terribly
burned and are in a critical condition.

Curtiss, Brookins and HoXsey FUR
nished thrills for visitors TO Domin-
zuez aviation field yesterday after
noon.
Curtiss, in his newest and fastest
machine, equipped with slXty-norse-
power motor shot across the field at a
fiftv-fiye mile an hour clip, dazzling
the spectators with his brilliant work.
A few moments after he had landed
in the center of the aviation neld, the
buzz of another propeller was heafd
and Brookins, in q Wright machlne'
circled into the air from the other
side of the stand.
Curtiss looked at the craft Tor Il
minute and jumped back into ms seat
In an instant he was off and the two
machines were sailing over the COURSE
at a terrific pace.
Brookins at a height of 600 feet sped
over the far side of the course at forty
miles an hour. Curtiss, several nun
dred feet below, quickly overlook him
and, swinging around at the END OF the
field, shot In q straight line over the
park at clip that made even the oth-
er aviators applaud the performance.
Curtiss after the flight estimated that
he had flown at the rate of fifty-fiVe
miles an hour.
Hoxsev followed Brookins, using the
same machine that the latter had used
and made a twenty minute flight. Ihe
spectators caught their breath once
when tho motor stopped while Hoxsey
was at a height of about 200 feet. The
aviator began a glide to the ground
but the motor started up when he was
about seventy-five feet from the
ground, and he shot off again for an
other circle of the course.
Latham may spring surprise on the
aviation committee today. The French
aviator has been invited by the mem
bers of the Bolsa Chica Gun club to
spend a half day at the club shooting
ducks In fact, a committee from the
gun club asked Latham to bring his
Antoinette aeroplane over and make
the experiment of shooting ducks-or
shooting at them-while flying.
Latham accepted the first invita-
ton but did not promise to take his
aeroplane along. If he gets his motor
in shape, however, the distance, about
twenty miles from the aviation field
to the gun club would not deter the
aviator from carrying out the second
part of the invitation.
