Officers Watson and White both testi-
fed to disparaging things against the

yesterday afternoon that the judge

CHARGE SIRE AND SON
WITH WHOLESALE THEFT
Detectives Find Large Assert
ment of Articles in San
Julian st. House

The sequel to the alleged theft of two
fifty-pound porcelain wash bowls con-
signed to an eastern concern to a
local company by Jefferson Davis Ban
ton, 20 years old, colored, came yes
terday when suspicious circumstances
connected Jefferson Davis Banton jr,
aged 16, son of the old man, with the
possible theft of cases of preserved
pineapple, several dirk knives, numer-
Gus watches, a new lawn mower and
an ak.
The elder Banton is charged with
the larceny of the bowls, and the
younger will appear in Judge Fred
ericksons court today to answer to
the charge of stealing other articles
Tuesday evening the proprietors OF
the Baltimore hotel on South Main
street complained to the police that
some one had plugged" a plate glass
window with q small-bore rife. AS
young Banton was the only man seen
in the vicinity at the time of the
shooting, suspicion rested on him, and
after denying any connection with the
affair, he finally broke down and ad-
mitted that he had fired through the
window by accident.
LOOT FOUND IN HOUSE
Detectives took Banton to mis- home,
S22 San Julian street, and made
search of the premises. In the -parlor
they found four new knives. In the
sitting room they found several gold
watches, and in the kitchen new
rake, lawn mower and an ak. Further
search revealed two unopened cases
Of pineapple.
Jefferson Davis jr. was confused
when asked to explain matters. The
knives, he said, he intended to use on
hunting trip, but he could not tell
whence they came. The lawn mower,
according to the youth, had beaa pur-
chased to cut the lawn with; but when
it was pointed out that there was no
lawn, since there was neither front
nor back yard, Banton was con-
founded.
Several weeks ago." Banton ex-
planned, "I was employed by a grocery
concern in this city. I delivered gro
ceries part Of the time and brought
consignments of goods to the store
from the freight depot the rest of the
time. One day the company got
lot of pineapple cases from the east
and the checking clerk at the car told
me there were two more cases than
had been billed. My boss warned me
TO bring everything to the store that
the clerk checked off, but he never
told me to bring the leftovers. These
two cases were leftoyers and I took
them home"

Mrs. La. Rue, who is the owner of a
theatrical costuming establishment in
this city, was on the way to her nome
wednesday night when the holdup oc-
c11rred. She was leisurely walking
along Seventh street, awaiting the ar
rival of an eastbound car. AS she
approached the corner where the crime
was committed tall man sided up
TO her side with the command, GIVE
ma that pocketbookl" at the same time
making a grab for the purse WHICH
she carried in her hand.
The highwayman grasped the hand-
bag, tearing the handle in an attempt
to wrest 1t from Mrs. La Rue. She
screamed and the man struck her
blow, either with his fist or weapon
knocking her PROSTATE. Simultaneous
ly with the assault the thug ran.
Mrs. La RueH cries brought the as
sistance of an employe of nearby
garage, who carried the woman to ms
place of business, whence she was
taken to her home.
No trace of the highwayman could
be found, and the victim of the at
tack can give no description of him
other than that he was tall in stature.
Mrs. La Rue, who is now under a
doctors care, said yesterday, in speak,
ing of the holdup: =.
"Had the man but asked me for
money I would have given him some
assistance. but with his demand for

ant until the arrival of a policeman.

sentenced to prison"

len and infiamed where the highway
mans blow fell.

FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL
BUILD PRACTICE TOWER

Plans for the practice tower for the
fire department were approved by the
fire commission yesterday. The plans
call for a tower seventy-dve feet high,
divided into six ordinary stories, and
equipped with fire escapes, ladders,
standpipes and other features which
the firemen must learn how to use. 1t
it is estimated that the tower will cost
$4,000.
1t will be built in the corporation
wards at Pasadena avenue and Avenue
19. and various fire companies will
practice on it daily.
Commissioner Williamson stated
Yesterday that he had received word
that a moving picture company would
pay $1,000 for the privilege of taking
pictures on the tower as soon as it is
completed. If such an offer is made
to the commission it will be accepted.

HILL STREET BORE MAY
AWAIT NEXT BUDGET

The street committee yesterday ap-
proved the plan for constructing a
tunnel under Hill street, between First
and Temple streets, and sent the mat
ter to the finance committee with the
recommendation that the Improvement
be carried out.
But the finance committee has some
thing to consider in approving the
plan that did not bother the street
committee, and that is the city owns
more than 1000 feet Of frontage in the
proposed assessment district and the
money to pay the city's share must
come out of the general expense fund.
There is little probability that the
plan will be carried far enough before
July l, 1911, to bring it up to the pay
ment stage, and the amount the city
win have to pay can be set aside in
the next general budget.
