II OS ANGELES. Oct. 2o-Trans-
ferred from San Francisco to
- Los Angeles the hunt for the
men who blew up the Office of the Los
Angeles Times was momentari1y for-
gotten today while the hunters quar-
relied over the possession of Mrs.
Belle LAWN, who was brought from
the north on a warrant charging her
with completely in the dynamiting
crime
On the arrival here today of AT
torney Earl Rogers, who has been
leading the search in the north, and
Detectives L. Browne of the district
attorneys Office, wrangIing between
the sheriff's force and that of the
district attorney over what disposition
should be made of the prisoner was
begun Immediately.
Sheriff Hammel and the local police
had determined TO arraign Mrs. LAWN
this morning, but Rogers and Browne
had different plans, and Mrs. Lawn
was left in her cell. where for 50
hours she had been submitted to the
tortures of the third degree" Not
only was no action taken looking TO
the arraignment of Mrs. LAWN, but 10
steps were taken toward impanelling
grand jury, as had been the inten-
tion, according to statements credited
TO Rogers.
Kept in Seolusion
So closely guarded and secluded that
not even attorneys retained by her
friends in San Francisco were allowed
to see her, Mrs. LAWN did not leave
her cell today. Outside the Jail her
attorney. Joseph f. Seymour, paced
back and forth. demanding admission.
but his demands were met with the
statement that Mrs. LAWN did not wish
to see an attorney and that until she
expressed a wish to retain counsel no
one would be admitted.
The break between the officers of the
district attorney and those Of the
sheriff was precipitated when after a
long interview in Mrs. LAWNS cell
Rogers and Browne declined to allow
the woman to appear in court.
Sheriff Hanmel declared in nou ncer-
tain terms that Mrs. LAWN was not
Brownies prisoner and that the district
attorneys ONCE had nothing to say re-
garding her Browne came back with
the assertion that Hammel had been
guilty of bad break by sweating
the woman and allowing her TO be
questioned by the police detectives and
an agent of the Pinkertons.
Must Be Arraigned
That Mrs. LAWN must be arraizned
tomorrow by the officers if they do not
wish to face habeas corpus proceed
ings was intimated tonight by Attor-
ney Seymour and his associates. who
have convinced the district attorneys
Office that they have been employed to
defend her. Seymour asserts that the
woman's friends are unable to inform
her that counsel has been retained, and
the deputies at the Jail maintain that
she does not wish TO see an attorney.
Asked directly about Developments
today. Rogers said:
I'VE know who blew up the Times
ONCE, and should they be captured to-
day we have evidence enough TO hang
them"
Browne said: II can only state that
we are on the right track and have re-
ceived some very satisfactory reports.
but the sheriff and police should not
interfere in this case

dollars was cleared tonight for the
benefit of the Mount St .Joseph's or
phanage of San Francisco, when the
ST. Joseph's boys' band Of this city

q huge success socially.
Ten selections were given by the
band and Mayor Dawson addressed the
gathering, presenting a beautiful prize

makers.

More Money Needed

Money continues to come in to The
Calls subscription fund, but greater
need seems to arise each day. For beds
alone the sisters have been compelled
to expend $1,000, and many things are
still lacking.
Does the great public realize that
400 children must be provided with a
home, clothing and food-from a start
of nothing at all save the ashes of
their former home. the brave hearts
and courage of the sisters and their
wonderful energy and work?
1t is up to the public" as some one
said, to supply these helpless children
with means of sustenance. Be gen
erous and let The Call fund grow SUR
prisingly. Remember the benefit is
altogether for the orphans and the
sisters-and they need the money
sorely.
Send a check-a good sized sum
and feel that comfortable glow around
your heart, which will be stronger
even than any little grudging discom-
fort you may have at parting with

YOUNG REPUBLICANS FORM
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION
Enthusiastic Response Made to Call of
Franklin E. Smith

After repeated failures to stimulate
interest in the formation of league of
recognized Republicans, at last, on Tues
day evening more than 80 young men
met in the parlor of Hotel Rodney, where
they proceeded to form themselves into
body. The sole purpose of this club is
not for political purposes, for the mem
bers are resolved upon clearing away the
stigma, that the town does not have !
social club for men.
Suitable and permanent headquarters
will be secured at once, as a committee
of five, comprising George Biggs, as chair
man, L. Z. Kiger, William O. Adams,

body those of the Young Mems League
Of Atlantic County.
Charles J. Adams, is president; G. Wm.
Braun, vice-pres.; John Barrett, seere-
tary; Japhet Price, treasurer.
The membership is. unlimited and it
is confidently believed that every man in
town with Republican inclinations will
eventually enrol himself, if for no other
reason than to have a place of recrea-
tion in addition to his home. a nominal
sum is required as yearly dues, 81, which
should not make one feel obliged to stay
without the ranks.
As the various committees have lots TO
! do in the meantime they will not be ask
ed to report till Tuesday evening, Jan.
25. At this meeting definite knowledge
will be available as to headquarters.
Each and every one who signed his name
to the roll book will be looked to for
