PLAN AIRSHlP LINE
AROUND THE WORLD

WASHINGTON, March 30.-A line of
Zeppelin airships to ply between New
York and London via Peking is pro-
posed by A Brodbeck, president of the
Aero club of Utah, who says he is al
ready negotiating with Count Zeppelin.
While the line would carry passen-
gers. Brodbeck had written to Post
master General Hitchcock asking if the
postoffice department has authority to
transport mail by airships. He has
been advised it could not be done un
less congress should specify airships as
one of the means of transportation. In
his proposal Brodbeck said the prac-
liability of the Zeppelin ship has been
proved.
1t would average forty miles an hour
he says. and principal stations on the
proposed route would be New York,
Chicago, Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake
City, San Francisco, Seattle, Fort Will
liam, Bering, Sakholm, Toxic, Peking,
Irkutsk, Omsk, Orenburg, st. Peters
burg. Riga, Berlin. Cologne, Paris and

PUSH TUNNEL PLAN
BY OUSTING BOGEY
Inspector Humphreys of Public Works
UnfoIds Method of Overcoming
Franchise Difficulty in Hill
Street Tube Proposition

W. NJ Humphreys, inspector for the board
of public works, submitted his report yester-
day relative to the proposed new tunnel under
the hill from First and Broadway to Fremont
avenue, outlining plan by which II is hoped
the city may overcome the present objec-
tions TO the tunnel.
These objections have arisen from the fact
that the city cannot give franchise for a
longer period than twenty-o years, and the
railway companies are unwilling to undertake
their half of the work unless they can have
a longer franchise.
The tunnel is demanded by the residents
living west and north Of the hill, beyond Ere
mont avenue.
Mr. Humphreys plan. as submitted yester-
day, includes, first. the suggestion that the
board of public works ascertain X the rail-
way companies consider it desirable to obtain
a tunnel right Of way for their cars TO run
through the proposed bore. In the event that
they desire to operate cars through the tun-
mel and are willing to pay their half OF the
cost, Mr. Humphreys believes arrangements
can be made at the expiration of the 1-year
franchises to compensate the railroad com
panies. He says:
AT the two approaches 10 the proposed tun-
mel there are two different railroad compan-
les VIII the railroad companies cooperate in
this matter and make such changes in their
rights Of way as would make the building of
the tunnel possible?
''If the foregoing matters be disposed
OF satisfactorily. ascertain II either railroad
company would build its half Of the tunnel
under a 21-year franchise with the understand
ing that II at the end of the 2l-year fran
chise the said franchise not renewed for
an additional period Of twenty-one years, then
the city of Los Angeles should pay TO the
railroad company that constructed said tunnel
one-half Of its original cost.
'Should the Los Angeles Railway company
conclude to build the tunnel, it would leave
a portion Of the hill section without railroad
service. This could be provided for in several
ways one Of which being railroad similar
to the Angels Flight up Second street. which
would terminate on the west at Hope street.
IF the railroad companies do not care TO
consider this proposition. the city can work
out this scheme independently and can con-
str,ct a tunnel the same as the Third street
tunnel but It would seem desirable to have
the cooperation OF the railroad companies If
the same can be had"

TREASURE TRUNK
MYSTERY GROWS
STARTLING RUM0RS ClRCU.
LATED IN FINK CASE
TRACED TO SAN
FRANCISCO HOTEL
Defendants, Charged with Making
False Demand on Insurance Conn
pany, Establish AIlbi and
Are Discharged

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of a trunk containing dia-
monds and jewelry valued at $10,S00
and belonging to Albert Fink, a jew
eler, December 80. while it was being
shipped to San Francisco and the
charge against Fink and his wife, Julia
Fink, of making a false demand against
the Hartford Insurance company for
$4,000 for the loss of the jewelry, still
grows deeper and farther from a solu
tion than ever.
With the dismissal of the charge
against Mr.. and Mrs. Fink by Justice
Summerfield yesterday, startling rum
ors were circulated concerning a man
and woman who boarded the same
train as Harry Adams the travelling
salesman for San Francisco on the
morning of December 80 at Alhambra.
1t is declared that they are friends
of Adams and that they went to the
same hotel in San Francisco as he did
After being in San Francisco a few
hours it is said they moved to the Col
den West hotel, where it is alleged the
exchange of the trunk containing the
jewelry for a suit case took place.
Movements of Trunk
It is alleged by the prosecution that
Mrs. Fink went to San Francisco De-
cember 80 for the sole purpose of OBJ
tanning possession OF the trunk ana
emptying it's contents and that she did
this at the Golden West hotel. Two
witnesses for the prosecution testified
they saw and talked with her that day.
The porter and baggageman of the ho-
tel stated they handled the trunk for
her. The baggageman testified at the
preliminary hearing that he hauled the
trunk to the depot and that she
checked it for San Jose. The trunk
was found there two weeks later by
tracers sent out by the Southern Pa
cific company.
An alibi was established by the de-
fense when they introduced sixteen
witnesses who testified they either saw
or talked with Mrs. Fink in Los An
geles on that date. The hotel register
of the Golden West hotel was intro
duced in evidence showing a signature
supposed to have been Mrs. Fink's.
The name was Frau Eta Schulz.
Attorneys Hold Conference
Attorneys for Fink and wife con-
ferred with Deputy District Attorney
Blair yesterday and although no infor
nation was given out, 1t is thought
they furnished valuable information as
to the identity of the couple that
boarded the train at Alhambra.
II the two can be found and enough
evidence to satisfy the district attor-
ney's office of the innocence of Fink
and his wife the hearing of the charge
preferred against them by the South
ern Pacific company, set for April 10,
will be dismissed.

Lies! Lies" shouted Herman Brun-
ner, former st. Louis lottery king and
at present a wealthy resident of AL
hambra, in Justice Summerfeld's court
Yesterday at his trial before a jury on
a charge of disturbing the peace, pre-
ferred against him by his wife, Louisa
Drummer, when she testified regarding
the family quarrel which led TO MS
arrest.
The trouble which led to the issuance
of the complaint occurred at the pala-
tial residence of the family at Alham-
bra July 5, 1909, a few days after they
had separateed when Brunner returned
TO the house for his raincoat. Accord
ing to the testimony, Mrs. Brunner ana
her daughter Theresa and her son
Fred were in the garden. and when
they caught sight of him they fled into
the house. Mrs. Drummer told him that
his overcoat was not there, whereupon
he tried to force his way into the
house. The witness stated that with
the aid of her daughter and son they
finally closed the door and left the de-
fendant on the stoop.
Father Accuses Daughter
"open the door little and let me
get a kick at him" Theresa is accused
by her father of saying. 1t was when
Mrs. Brunner was asked whether her
daughter said this and replied in the
negative that Brunner made his accu-
sations.
Brunner strove to show that his wife,
daughter and son. after exacting Sl7b,-
900 from him and brought about two
attacks of paralysis which he alleged
were due to beatings which he had re-
ceived at their hands they had barred
him from his own house. What made
me mad was to be thrown from my
own home which 1 paid $4,000 for"
testified Brunner.
Mrs. Drummer claims that after re-
fusing him admission to their home he
lifted his cane and broke two glass
panels in the kitchen door and that he
swore violently, after which he left.

ner?" asked Deputy District Attorney
