SAN FRANCISCO, April AT
tracted by a terrific explosion of dyna-
mite, which tore up the sidewalk in
front of the Athenian building early
today, the police surprised Thomas
Ryan and Frank Smith, cracksmen,
and captured them after a running
revolver battle which lasted several
blocks. The fight ended in a hand

Three officers were drawn to the
scene by the explosion, and exchanged
shots with the robbers, who took flight
at once. The police gained In the
chase and the fugltives lodged into
lodging house with the officers at their
heels. Smith leaped from a second
story window almost into the arms of
an officer. He lodged into the build

where he pushed himself behind a
chimney and opened fire. The Of

SPECTATORS GIVE UP
RIGHTS To YUMA LAND
Nine Entrymen ReIinquish Claims
Before Payments to Govern
ment Are Made

Fears of the government land Of
flcials in Los Angeles that successful
applicants for farms in the Yuma land
drawings had entered tho lists merely
for speculative purposes were realized
yesterday when nine entrymen relin-
quished their claim to the farms they
had won a right to buy by failing to
make their first payment on the prop
erty within the ten days grace that
had been allowed them from the date
of drawing. Other entrymen, however,
announced their willingness to bid for
the farms at an auction to be held
under the auspices of the land office,
and the expenses of which the entry
men will defray by purchasing a right
to bid. Realty men of the city are
somewhat skeptical OF the enthusiasm
displayed by the Yuma applicants and
claim that many of them could pro-
cure lands in Southern California that
would be cheaper and just as produc-
tive.
Those who purchased a right to bid
at the Yuma auctions and the amounts
they paid for the privilege are: Percy
Griggs, Los Angeles, $25; Walter w.
Werden. Los Angeles, $25; Samuel II
Mccartney, Los Angeles, $36; Robert
w. Lutley, Los Angeles, $40; George
L. Benson, 81 1t is only necessary to
pay for the privilege of filing on the
land when there are two or more sim
ultaneous entries for a single unit.
Those who procured farms yesterday
at auctions without paying a bonus
were John Rezel. Los Angeles, G5;
Gustav Nelson, Los Angeles, BIS; AL

Arthur Barlow, Los Angeles, JIG.

SEEKS A SEARCH WARRANT
TO RECOVER DIAMOND RING

Proceedings to obtain a search war
rant to recover a diamond ring valued
at $3.50 began in Police Judge Williams
court yesterday afternoon.
The complainant, Mrs. Lulu Wood
ley, alleges that Harry Kelso has in his
possession a diamond which was stolen
from her last spring. Kelso admits
this fact, and stated he bought the dia-
mond from F. C. Chapman, brother
of Mrs. Woodley. who is a fugitive
from justice, charged with stealing
$4,000 worth OF diamonds and Jewelry
from his sister
Mrs. Woodley admitted she had
loaned the ring to her brother on vari-
Gus occasions and also that her brother
is supposed to have stolen the $4,000
worth of jewelry, but she maintains the
sale was not proper and seeks to re-
cover the ring by search warrant pro-
ceedings.
The case was adjourned at o'clock
last night until Friday, when author
tiles on the question involved will be
submitted to the court.

URGE JEWS To RALLY
To MAI BIRTH ORDER
Differences in Camp of Israel viii
Not Interfere with Work
of the Lodge

| WASHINGTON, April 4.-"The or
der must continue to be the rallying
ground for all Jews, regardles of po-
litical or religious opinions" declared
Adolf Kraus of Chicago, president of
the Independent Order of B'nai Birth,
in his message to the grand lodge con-
vention, which began here yesterday.
A tremendous dynamic force, Mr..
Kraus said, had been at work in the
camp of Israel.
Passions have been aroused, schisms
have been created, and where peace
and harmony are so essential, strife
and discord reign. We have the Iii
onist and the anti-Zionist; the ortho-
dox and reformed, with their respec-
tive chasms constantly widening. their
antipathies steadily growing. In my
judgment 1t is the province of the or
der to continue in the path which 1t
has pursued from its inception. It
must not favor or discountenance
movements within our own ranks on
which Jewish opinions are pronounced
and varied"
pathetic picture was drawn Of the
conditions in Galicia, where the pow
erty Of the people, Mr.. Kraus said, was
indescribable. It was not strange, he
added, that among the Galician Jews
the recruiting agent finds many not
too reluctant additions to the army
of white slaves"
1--WE are fighting the white slave
traffic" said the president. Let us
help to close up the markets which
furnish the victims"
At last nights meeting the principal
address was delivered by Lucius L.
Solomon of San Francisco, second vice
president of the order. He spoke
broadly of the aims of the order and
of the Jews place among the nations
Mr.. Solomon criticised the immigration
laws of the United States.

WILL URGE STORM DRAINS
West Tenth st. Residents Seek
Protection for District

The West Tenth Street Improvement
association, which was organized a few
weeks ago for the purpose of securing
needed public improvements for the
district in the vicinity of Tenth street
and Vermont avenue, has now gained a
membership of about $50, and as the
first and most important of their meas
ures will endeavor to impress on the
council the necessity of a storm drain
for that district.
A petition bearing the names of
about 225 property owners will be pre-
sented to the council this morning,
asking that steps be taken to avoid
the accumulation of storm water in
the district during the coming rainy
season, so that the pools of storm wa
ter will not stagnate and become a
menace to the public health as they
have in past winters.
A meeting of the association will
be held this evening in the hall at
2935 West Tenth street, at which Dep
uty City Engineer Tuttle will be a
speaker.
