ARREST PROMINENT WOMEN
ON SUSPICION OF THEFT
Auto and Airship Figure in Queer
Illinois Case

CHICAGO. Oct. 12.-Four well-to-do
Chicago women were arrested here to-
dav in connection with a series OF
burglaries at homes of farmers about
Crown Point, Ind.
The women are Mrs. Ralph E. Hay
den, wife of dentist; her mother,
Mrs. Matte Jennings; his sister, Miss
Laura Jennings, and Mrs. A. Cressner.
The women were taken to Crown
Point late in the day and were ar
raigned before Judge Nicholson in his
parlor at 10 o'clock tonight. Each
pleaded guilty and was fined $40. The
fines were paid and the four women
were given their liberty.
The formal charge against the Chi
cago women was trespassing, on the
property of Charles Bailey. The farm
owners robbed refused to make any
charges of larceny.
According to Sheriff Grant of Crown
Point, the women have made several
trips into the Crown Point neighbor-
hood during the last three weeks in
an automobile. Approaching a farm
house, the sheriff said, the women
would tell the farmers and their wives
that they were motoring to witness the
flight of an aviator in the vicinity.
Almost invariably the whole household
would set off to see the landing Of the
mythical man-bird.
The sheriff declared that various
Iarders would then be robbed of butter,
eggs, cold meats, and in some cases
the dishes.
According to Crown Point officers,
when a search Of Mrs. Hayden's
garage was made today butter, eggs
and dishes were found in 1t valued

ARRIVES;
OIL LAND OWNERS
TO HAVE HEARING
First Assistant Secretary of Inte-
rior Department Comes West
on an important Mission
FAvoRS CHANGES IN LAWS
Official States Government De-
sires Full Understanding of
Situation to Give Justice

That the department of the interiar
contemplates bringing about changes in
the mineral and mining laws of the
country to relieve the present situ-
alton of the oil men in the west, and
that the present laws are entirely in
adequate to cope with physical condi-
tions in California, was the substance
of an interview last night with Frank
Pierce, first assistant secretary of the
Interior who arrived yesterday from
washington.
LAS custodian of public lands" said
Mr. Pierce last night, ''the department
Of the interior was in receipt of hun
dreds of letters last spring from oil
men In California complaining of the
laws now in effect as they relate to the
obtaining of clear and perfect title to
oil lands they are developing.
COMPLAINTS OF OIL MEN
"The principal complaint of the oil
men, Judging from their cOrrespon-
dence, appears to be that the law as
it stands provides for the location and
patenting of oil lands under placer
mining DAVIS, which require dis
covery of mineral before a valid To-
cation can be made. A man cannot
discover oil beneath the ground until
he has expended considerable money In
investigating.
"The operators believe that they
should be protected until such time as
they can drill wells, and the law ap-
pears to be inadequate for their pro-
lection. Anyone can erect rigs on
land located by the first person. 1t Is
from just such cases that questions
arise as to who has the most valid
claim.
IT do not doubt that in the circum-
stances new laws should be enacted.
The government has contemplated the
passage of laws to relieve this very
situation.
"On the other herd there has been
too rigid an Interpretation of the pres
ent laws on the part of the oil men.
FULL INVESTIGATION PLANNED
''I am here simply to hear all sides
of the story and to return to Wash
ington and make my report. My duty
is to investigate and report, not to
Judge. My instructions are to meet
these oil men personally and to get
a thorough understanding of the stu
alton on the grounds.
"If it. is decided by the department
of the interior that the laws need en-
larging in their scope as to oil lands,
a sttp will at once be taken to bring
the matter before congress, and while
we do not get through all the bills we
would like to see passed, do not see
any direct obstacle in the way of pass
ing such a bill"
Secretary Pierce will leave Los An
geles today or tomorrow for visit
to the Bakersfield and Coalinga fields
% an ri of
industry in the state.
Mr.. Pierce declined to discuss the at
titude OF the government toward oil
lands claimed by the Southern Pacific,
and which Clifford Pinchot declared
recently, in this city, should be taken
away from the Southern Pacific and
returned to the people.

WOMAN Waves CUM
MILLIONAIRE RUNS
Miss Julia Ward Gibson Is After
A. D. Myers, Accompanied
by MiniSter-Father

Rather than risk his life before an
angry woman who was waving re-
volver in his direction, Al D. Myers,
one of the men credited with having
made a million in Goldfleld's mines
fed from the presence of Miss Julia
Ward Gibson, daughter Of a Pasa-
dena Presbyterian minister, after q
brief conversation in the Myers home
at Long Beach last night.
Miss Gibson, who recently fled suit
against Myers for $780, 600 damages,
half for alleged breach of promise and
half for intellectual and bodily injury
she says she suffered, went to the
home of Myers last night, accompanied
by her father, the Rev. w. p. Gibson,
to learn the truth regarding a rumor
that Mr.. Myers was contemplating
matrimony.
Myers admitted the woman and her
father to his $4,000 home at 1900 East
Ocean avenue. When she asked him
if he intended to marry her, he replied
that he did not intend to marry her
or any one else Myers says she drew
a revolver at that instant. He ran
through a rear door and upstairs.
Then he sent his housekeeper to the
home of Councilman Mohrenstecher, a
neighbor, with a request that he notify
the police Patrolman Towel respond
ed and Miss Gibson, who waited pa
tiently in the Myers home, was placed
under arrest.
WOMAN IS ARRESTED
The Rev. Mr.. Gibson said he did not
know his daughter had a weapon until
she drew it, and would not have ac-
companied her had he known she was
carrying a revolver. He was not de-
tanned, but his daughter was taken be-
fore Justice S. H. Underwood, charged
with assault with a deadly weapon,
and put under $4,000 bond. She could
not give bail and was brought to the
county Jail in this city.
Early yesterday afternoon Miss Glib
son visited Myers office in this city,
313 West Third street, and it is said.
asked him if he intended to marry
some one, as reported. He replied in
the affirmative. She left the office,
and it is supposed that she obtained
the revolver then. Next she endeav-
ored, it is said, to find magistrate
with the idea Of returning to Myers
office and, it is surmised, compelling
him to marry her. Failing to find one,
she returned to Pasadena, and later
went to Long Beach with er'father
Earl Rogers is attorney for Miss
Gibson Myers says that he met her
while she was gathering material for
"write-ups" about Nevada mining
men. He denies having promised to
marry her.

OF FLIGHT TO EUROPE

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. 49,
No attempt was made to bring the

hangar tonight, but Walter WelIman
again announced the trip will begin
just as soon as all conditions are ia
Vorable.

SCHOOL BOARD AROUSED
OVER SHORT WEIGHT COAL.
Committee to Probe Loss on
Loads at Meeting Today.

One of the principal topics to come up
for discussion at the meeting of the
Board of Education committee on build
ir gs, grounds and supplies this after
noon is that of the short weight in
coal deliveries discovered on Saturday.
OF two wagonloads of $500 pounds one
was discovered to be 800 pounds under
weight and the other $50 pounds under.
brought before the committee by En-
gineer George w. Knight, whose duty
it is to look after the coal supplied to
the schools. 1t was at his direction
that the weight of the W loads was
made a subject of inquiry.
While the Lehigh-W ilkes-Barre Com
pany, from whose yards the coal was
brought, declared that when the
wagons left the scales in the yard both
carried full loads, the shortage at the
official scales at the City Hall is GER
tain. John H. Sullivan, city sealer of
weights and measures, tested the scales
Immediately after the first load had
beer taken off. He found them abso-
lutely correct. They had been tested
and sealed blu a few days before.
1t is probable that the sealer will be
called to make such a statement before
the committee which will pass the mat
ter on to the whole board for action at
it's meeting on Thursday.

Arnold and Miss Richey was an
nounced a year ago and they were to

suit of the mutual desire of the young

a large wedding, which had been
planned for them. On February 2 Shaw
I'M Miss Richey, with George III.
Richey, the bride elects brother, and
Miss Evelyn Lee Frew as witnesses,

to announce their marriage. Mr.. Shaw
is an electrical estimator for the Beaver
Construction Company.

Pennsylvania railroad, Anna Stano, of
20 Foundry street, n Susan Katag,
of ga Lentz avenue were fined $50 and
put on probation for two years by

Railroad Detectives Rothlein and
Hanley said they arrested the women
as they were getting down from the
top of one of the freight cars. They
denied their guilt, but admitted being
on railroad property. The railroad de
tectives told Judge Hahn that they
could bring a large number of offenders
into court every day for the offense OF
coal-stealing.
Bring them in" said Judge Hahn,
and we will take care of them. This
Goa stealing must stop. If it were no
for the fact that these women have

BARBER POLES TO GO NEXT
IN OBSTRUCTION CRUSADE.
Hitching Posts, Too, Must Con-
form to Law.

Violators of the ordinance against
sidewalk distractions, whose property
was confiscated by Sidewalk Inspector
Gottlieb Hanle and his mel who have
not redeemed the same, will have an
opportunity to buy it back at auction
next Tuesday. Advertisement of the
sale will probably begin on Wednes-
day.
The Vobstruction crusaders are CIV
ing ~storekeepers a rest and taking one
themselves this week. Until Thursday,
when a trip will be made to the Hill Sec
ton to clear up some hitherto unvis-
tied spots, the collecting crew will not
gather up any more property.
A new departure will be made when
all the present articles under ban have
been disposed of. Charles M. Shipman,
general superintendent of works, will
then begin making a specially of bar
Der poles set outside of the sidewalk
line and also hitching posts. The ordi-
nance regarding the latter is very ex-
plicit. They must be round and made
of wood and not over a certain height.
Not more than two may be placed in
front of a city lot. These specifica-
tions have put a stop to the contention
that barber poles and other poles are
hitching posts and should therefore be
allowed to stand.
