Auto owners, look out! The police

Hereafter, instead of there being but
two motorcycle "cops" following the

there will be four. The squad was
doubled yesterday morning when Pa

In assigning Harland and Wallace to

after be seen most anywhere at most
any hour, night or day. In this way
it will no longer be possible for busi-
ness men, returning home from their
offices to 'hit her up" along the down.

work in the morning they were strict
to observe the speed limit, knowing
that the motorcycle men would be on
duty in the morning hours.

NEGROWOMEN ROB
VISITOR ON STREET
Revolver at Mining Mans Head
Causes Him to Give Up
$500 in Gold
SHOCKED BY QUICK ACTION
FIashiIy Dressed African DamseIS
Hold Up Arizonan Near
Arcade Depot

James Ralph, a prosperous looking
mining man from Phoenix, AriE.,
stumbled into police headquarters
breathless and pale, and on the verge
of collapse, early yesterday morning
and reported to the detective depart
ment that two f1ashily dressed negro
women held him up at the point of a
gun on East Fifth street, near the
Arcade station, and forced him to give
over between $400 and $500 in bills
and gold.
According to Ralph, he was taking
stroll in East Fifth street shortly
before midnight when he saw the wo-
men following him. They walked
slowly when he did, Ralph said, and
quickened their pace as he walked
faster. Suddenly the women, max
ing a squirt, caught up with him and
before he had time to act, forced a
pisto. in his face and demanded his
money. When Ralph protested, the
negreses told him to waste no time
but hand over the wallet before
somebody gets his head blown off.
The moment Ralph gave over the
money, he said, the women ran ana
disappeared in an alleyway The VIC
tim was so overcome with his ex-
perience that he failed to notify a
policeman Immediately, going to his
room at 400 East Fifth street instead
After recovering from the shock,
Ralph hurried to the police station
and reported the robbery.
'Tt was the most brazen thing 1
ever heard tell of In highway rob-
beries." Ralph told the police. "The
women didn't give me a chance to save
nv money. 1 am certain my head
would have been blown off if had de-
layed or resisted"
The police are of the opinion the
women are itinerant robbers, going
from city to city to make their hauls.

UNIVERSAL TRANSFERS
GOOD ON CITY LINES
Officials Report 100 Pay-as-You
Enter Cars Will Be Put
in Service

Universal transfers in Los Angeles
went into effect yesterday morning on
all city lines. The Pacific Electric
company, now that it no longer owns
any cars giving local service, has
ceased giving transfers from any or
its interurban lines.
AS soon as possible the West Sixth
street line will be rebuilt into mar
row gauge line, to accommodate the
new cars which will be put into COM
mission. This line was originally
broad guage on account Of the fact that
the interurban service to Glendale
over the Pacific Electric ran over 1t
as far as Figueroa street. The WIDE
guage will be completely torn out west
of Figueroa street, and the third rail
put in from Figueroa street east along
Sixth street to the Pacific Electric sta
ton at Sixth and Main streets.
The officials of the railway announced
Yesterday, that school tickets, which
hitherto were good only on the yellow
lines. will be accepted on all local lines
In payment of fare. A new ticket book
probably will be devised to take the
place of those being issued now, and
the age limit on the new books may
be increased to 81 years instead of
"a wears. in compliance with the re-
o1est of the students of the Los An
geles high schools.
No sites for the location of the extra
car houses and shops, which the rail-
road officials announced yesterday
would be built at once, have been sell
ected. 1t is said that the company is
waiting until certain rumors as to the
probable location of the new buildings
blow over, before sites are secured.
One hundred new pay-as-you-enter
type cars are due to arrive in Los
Angeles within few days from st.
Louis and these cars will be put on
the lines over which red and green
cars are now operated, it is believed,
in order that the latter may be sent to
the shops for reconstruction.

before Judge Rives of the probate de-

before Judge Rives of the probate de-
partment of the superior court.
This demurrer was to the answer
filed by Mrs. Clara Baldwin Stocker
and Mrs. Anita Baldwin McCiaughrey,
two daughters, though there is anoth-
er of a similar nature to be argued to
the answer of H. A. Unruh, executor
of the Baldwin estate
The heirs and the executor, while not
admitting that the young girl, who,
through her guardian, Leo J. Mcguire,
is bringing the action, is a daughter of
Baldwin, declared that her adoption by
her mother, Mrs. Lillian Ashley Turn
bull. and the latter's husband, DIR. Will
liam B. Turnbull of Boston, would, ac-
cording to Massachusetts, laws, pre-
vent her from inheriting any property
from any person other than her natural
mother and her adopted father.
Isidore b. Dockweiler, Gesner Will
liams and A. w. Hutton, Miss Trun-
bulls Los Angeles attorneys, asserted
that that provision of the Massachu-
setts law Is no longer in effect, and
that section 7, chapter 154, of the re-
vised statutes of that state says: "A
person shall not by adoption lose his
right to inherit from his natural pa
rents or kindred" They say such was
the law at the time of the adoption of
the girl by her mother and her moth
er's husband in 1904.
Judge Rives said that he often has
made legal Investigations in similar
cases and that he never has found a
precedent for the proposition that the
act of adoption prevents child from
inheriting anything from its natural
parents. He took the matter under
advisement
The contest of the Baldwin estate,
instituted in behalf of Miss Turnbull,
is set for December 1 before Judge
Rives. At that time her Los Angeles
attorneys will be reinforced by her
eastern lawyers, Walter b. McCorkle
and Walter b. Grant

WOUNDS ARE CAUTERIZED
Surgeons Promptly AlIay Fears
of Parents

Parents in the neighborhood Of Jack

ened yesterday morning when a dog
rushed into a group of children play
ing in that neighborhood and before II
could be driven off bit two boys and
tried to injure others.
Oscar Fishfeather, 10 years old, living
at 5O7 Turner street, and Hiroshi
Nakamira, living at 109 North San
Pedro street, were bitten in the left
leg. They were taken to the receiving

and drove it away from the children
say there were no signs, so far as they
could tell, of hydrophobia.
