BURGLAR SECURES
WRONG STRONG BOX
REAL TREASURE LEFT IN RAN
SACKED SAFE
Bows Find Safety Deposit Case in Va
cant Lot, and Police Seek Per-
petrator of Feed Yard
Crime

In response to a message from f. q.
Whitney. chief operator of the Suilset
telephone company, 622 South hlll
street. two detectives hurried to the
premises last night with visions OF
capturing desperate bank robbers, as
the message stated two men could be
seen attempting to open a metaillc
safety box in vacant lot in the rear
of the building.
The metallic box was found. and a
story of daring daylight burglary un-
earthed. but the mystery was not
solved. Claude Brown. 1887 West Sew
enth street, and William Macarthur,
1902 South Grand avenue, both en-
ployed as messenger boys for the Mer-
chants Dispatch company, were found
endeavoring to open the box, which Is
eighteen inches long and six lnches
wide, but after an investigation IL was
found the boys knew nothing OF the
robbery, and were prompted by curios-
ity to attempt to open the box, when
contained few personal papers ana
number of old coins.
The box was stolen yesterday noon
from the safe of Roy c. Young, a
dealer in lumber and feed, 2209 East
First street. The theft was not noticed
at the time, but when the box was
opened at police headquarters and pa
pers bearing the name OF j. b. Young,
1917 Waterloo street. were found, the
theft was traced. Roy c. Young had
kept the box containing his fathers
papers and old coins in his safe, but
stated the robbery must have happened
during the noon hour yesterday, as
that was the only time any one had
access to the office.
The thief evidently carried the box
to the vacant lot in the rear of the
Sunset building, and after trying to
open II. threw 1t away.
It was found by the messenger boys,
and their attempts to open 1t last night
attracted the attention of Operator
Whitney. with the result that detec-
tives were sent to investigate. The
police are satisfied the boys knew moth
ing of the theft, and after taking their
names, released them.
Further investigation will be made
today to locate the person who stole
the box. In the safe was large sum
of money, but the bold burglar OBJ
tained the wrong box, and, evidently
disgusted at his poor luck, threw it
in the vacant lot.

n R-R-R, accompanied by a gasp and
X a sputter. which was shortly
~ after followed by another b-r-r-r,
came to the ears of the owl habitues of
Riley's place on Second street, the mid
night rendezvous of the belated, this
morning. Again came distinctly the
gasp, the sputter and the b-r-r-r, and
the night hawks on the stools ex-
changed tragic looks, and pin could
have been heard to drop.
Surely here was tragedy on foot,
and all looked to Chez Pittman, who
has reigned supremely in that pine
board counter joint for the past two
years, to solve the mystery.
Another gasp and sputter this time
the br-r-r sounding fainter. Surely
there was a throat cut behind those
pine boards, or possibly some one was
being eased along TO the golden shore
by the strangle route.
Bang! went a tin pan, and the cat
came scurrying from the dish washing
room. That must have been the final
struggle az the cold-shiyer causing
sounds had ceased. Here was time for
action
Chef Pittman led, violently welding
the cleaVer followed by "Bubbling
JOY" his assistant, who was savagely
brandishing the longest butcher knife
in the house. Then came a,sporting
scribe armed with a sugar bowl. ball
players and others of different occupa-
tions, but Just then men of action and
armed for the occasion-some carrying
table forks, while others were armed
with catsup bottles.
Thus fOrmidablY armed, the brigade
slowly stole forward on their tiptoes.
The dish washing room was reached
without a mishap but the column was
suddenly brought to q halt by moan,
a gasp, a short sputter and a drawn
out sigh directly from the adjoining
room.
Forward" came in scarcely audible
tones from the mighty Pitt and the
column again broke into slow action,
and the wielder Of the Cleaver with the
utmost caution craned his top piece
into the open door from which spas
medically the unearthly noises came.
"Umh" came the sound Of restrained
laughter from the rib steak turner.
Then all took a look.
There. on n bench, apparently all in
after the evenings wrestle with the
dishes, was the dish washer in slumber
land.
Temptation for little fun at the
expense OF the slumberinc Que proved
too strong for "Bubbling JOY" who
found a large tin can and newspaper.
Setting the can close to the slumbeFing
one, he set fire to the paper.
With the blaze casting a ruddy glare
on the walls and ceiling. the owls fol-
lowing the leadership Of the chef and
"Bubbling JOY" in an Indian war
dance, Spaghetti, the dish washer,
came out of tho land Of dreams into
what he must have thought his intro

ARREST ARTIST:
PICTURE FOUND
SAN FRANCISCO POLICE RE-
COVER $4,000 PAINTING
"Shepherd and His Flock" Cut from
Frame in Golden Gate Park,
Found in Studio at
Bay City
GAssociated Press1

SAN FRANCISCO. March 15.-De-
claring he took the picture merely to
make copy of it. William Kunze, a
young GBrman artist, was arrested
this afternoon in possession of the
$4,000 Millet painting OF THE Shep-
herd and His Flock" which was stol-
en- last Sunday from the Golden Gate
park museum.
Kunze was arrested in his studio af-
ter search of the city, which had been
prosecuted with the utmost vigor ever
since the valuable painting was cut
from it's frame by an unknown thief
last Sunday. Detective Sergeant Ed
ward Wren refused to divulge the
clew which led to the arrest. Immedi-
ately after booking the prisoner on a
charge of grand larceny, he left the
city prison, accompanied by several
detectives, and II is believed that they
went in search of possible accomplices.
To the questions of Sergeant Wren
the arrested man answered that he was
led to take the picture by his love of
the beautiful and desire to make copy
of it.
The painting, which was loaned to
the museum by Miss Sara Spooner of
this city, was the work of Jean Fran
co.'s Millet in 1882. 1t was found in the
room used as a studio by Kunze, and
1T is now in the custody of the property
clerk of the police department. The
theft occurred last Sunday morning,
shortly after the museum was thrown
open to visitors. While the curator
was absent for a short time the can
vas was cut from the frame and car
ried from the building without the
slightest clew being left behind De-
tective Sergeant Edward Wren, as
sisted by two detectives, was assigned
to work exclusively on the case, with
the arrest of Kunze late this after
noon as the result
KunZe came here from Portland,
Ore, six months ago.
At the city prison Kunze made a
complete confession of the crime, tell
ing the detectives in detail how he re-
moved the valuable canvas from its
frame and explaining his reason for
committing the daring theft

other injuries dressed the boy was sent
to the Childrens hospital. His injuries
are considered serious.

to make a report to the police. Officers
of the University station are investi

the auto was going at high rate Of
speed. Cudahy, who lives in Pasadena,
is said to have agreed to pay for the
medical treatment, and requested that

at his expense.
A few minutes after Hicks was treat
ed, Lauder Elwood, 10 years old, living
at 1912 Edgar street, was sent to the

to have whipped up his horse and sped
away without reporting the accident
or finding the extent of the injuries of
the child. According to the East Side
police. the last name Of the driver is
Dallas, but he was not located last
night.
The child was taken to his home,

Why We LAUGH.


Laughter seems to be a specialized
form of either the scream of a star
tied or injured animal or the cry Of
triumph common to many beasts Of
prey. In children the cry Of terror
and the shout Of laughter often shade
into each other. and the young child
escaping from pursuit will scream with
laughter or fear, according to his
chances Of escape. Some unexpected
event that causes slight alarm short
Of actual terror is the commonest cause
Of children's laughter, but in adults
some sudden event that gives a sensa-
ton Of triumph over others has much
more influence. Really clever jokes
seldom cause laughter, and it has been
pointed out that a man chasing his
hat will produce laughter far more
hearty in character than the best ef
forts of the cleverest wit. The sight
Of i'll fortune in another causes by
contrast a feeling Of triumph in our
selves The ticklish parts of the body
are for the most part the sites Of i'm
p0rtant blood vessels, and the laughter
produced in children by tickling is
even more closely allied to the cry of
pain.

record in the exuberant language Of
their day the emotions that thrilled
their soul. 1.-The man who treads

mouth to its source.
1.-The characters" the same writer

belt of trees just beneath and the trop-
zeal at the base Of the mountain, with
its vineyards and luxuriant groves. The
great ocean around, with the islands of
