TAKEN IN ACT OF ROBBERY;
BAIL IS FIXED AT $500
lose Rosa's Hearing Set for June
II, at 10 O'clock

Jose Rosa, who was caught by de-
tectives early yesterday morning as
he with three other men were pre-
pairing to break into the store of H.
Landsberg, a merchant tailor at 1446
San Fernando street, was arraigned
before Police Judge Chambers yester-
day morning, charged with having
burglar tools in his possession, and
his hearing was set for June II at 10
o'clock. He is in the city jail in de-
fault of $1500 bail.
The trio was ready to haul away a
large quantity of the $4,000 stock of
firemen, police and railroad uniforms
kept in the establishment when they
were surprised.
1t appears that a couple of days ago
Rosa called on a downtown tailor and
offered him a bargain in splendid uni
forms provided he would take about
5000 worth. The cffer was accepted,
but when Rosa said he would deliver
the goods at o'clock in the morning
the tailor became suspicious and tele-
phoned the information to the detec-
tives. The detectives also received
word the same day from a Mexican
who was said to have been in on the
deal, but became frightened when the
time drew near. Several detectives
were detailed to watch the store and
apprehend the men.

''Our city is seeking to establish good gov

after we get good men in office we must nave
money and great deal of money, to enapie
them to do the things they seek to do SAID
Rev Dana Bartlett in an address before the

I'm order to accomplish this the people

The Robinson plan for Los Angeles was

resolution protesting against the recon-
struction of the old Main street bridge was
unanimously indorsed ~ the association on
proposal of Mrs. Andrew Stewart Lobingier
chairman of the Arroyo Seco committee In
the resolution objections were registered also
against the use of the old bridge material in
a span of the Arroyo Seco bridge at Avenue
43, as now proposed by the county engineer
or the construction of truss bridge OF any
character at that point. The reason for the
objection was given that the bridge is prac-
tically the gateway of the proposed Arroyo
Seco park, which, 1t is hoped, the city will
acquire, and for the further reason that 1t is
a link in the boulevard system planned by
Charles Mulford Robinson.
Another feature of the resol ltion was the
following clause;
"Further. that this society strongly pro-
tests against the erection of Inherently un-
slightly truss or glrder tyr bridges at any
scenic point especially along the line of the
proposed boulevard system which 1t is the

Sheriff Hammel and Deputies Alex

companied by Richard Gemrig of
South Pasadena and his four blood
hounds left yesterday for the Bakers
field region to participate in the hunt
for John Harrison and John Hordonot,
who escaped from the Jail at San Luis
Obispo on June 3, where they were
awaiting trial on a charge of murder
ing officer J. Rude, who was shot to
death at Paso Robes on March 16 last.
Early yesterday morning the escapes
were seen fifty miles northeast of San

try adjacent to Bakersfield. The men
were heavily armed. AS soon as Sher-
iff McFadden of San Luis Obispo
county received this information he no
titled the sheriffs of Los Angeles, Ven
tura, Kern and Santa Barbara coun-
ties. The sheriff of each of the coun-
ties Immediately took up the pursuit
and each is working towards Bakers
field, practically forming a dragnet,
through which 1t is believed impos-
sible for the desperadoes to escape.
Sheriff Hammel and his deputies left

morning.
Harrison and Hordonot are expected
to put up a fight against recapture.
Both are known to be desperate men,
Hordonot being a former convict. The
officers are prepared for fierce en-
counter.
Sheriff McFadden has had his best
officers investigating how the files and
saws were smuggled into the jail to
Hordonot and Harrison, but so far
they have been unable to secure the
slightest clew. Each trusty has been
rigidiy examined, but the most severe
cross-examining failed to make them
admit they had assisted in getting
the tools to the men.
