CARS CRASH IN FOG AND
A DOZEN ARE INJURED
Displaced Trolley Given as Cause
of Collision Two Miles
Out of Venice

The dense fog which pervaded the
beach towns last night was the reason
given for a rear-end collision of two
Los Angeles bound cars, two miles out
of Venice, in which dozen persons
were slightly injured
That no person was seriously injured
was due to the fact that the car which
was struck was a light car, and the
force of the collision knocked it along
the rails, instead of telescoping 1t, as
would have doubtless happened if it
had been one of the three-ear trains
which had been used to carry the holi-
day crowd to the beach resorts.
None of the passengers was injured
seriously enough to require immediate
medical attention, except Miss May
Barnes, 1902 Michigan avenue, who was
treated at the receiving hospital.
She suffered two-inch laceration of
the right arm above the elbow and a
confusion of the right shoulder. She
was taken to the receiving hospital by
Charles Willets, 124 South Main street,
who in company with Miss Barnes was
returning from a days outing at Ven
ice.
The car that was struck was badly
wrecked, nearly every pane of glass
being shattered. rhe trolley left the
wire and 1t was while the conductor
was adjusting the trolley that the col
lision occurred.

dier Generals Arson G.. McCook. Hor-
ace Porter, Nicholas w. Day, Walter
Howe, John T. Lockman and Thomas
H. Hubbard, with number of con-
gressmen and other notabes.
A detachment of regular army men
headed the marchers, whose route was
shortened so that the aged veterans
would not be too greatly fatigued by
their tramp. Followed by cailors and
marines from the battleships Connecti-
cut and Rhode Island. the head of the
parade moved up West End avenue to
Seventy-second street and into River
side drive and on past the stand at the

rial Day Parade
ASSOCIATED Pressl

NEW YORK, May 30-Before the
president of the United States there
passed in review today what remains
of New York's contribution to the war
of the north and south.
The president had come from Wash
ington especially TO see the old sol
diers pass the reviewing stand at the
soldiers and sailors monument on Riv
erside drive, and as they trudged by
they tautened their muscles, raised
their gray heads higher and sought to
show thew were still lit and active.
The parade was nearly three hours
in passing, but the president all the
while stood bareheaded in the stand,
bowling as the veterans passed by.
After the parade there was a short
exercise at the base of the monument.
1t was cut short by a lhower that wet
the president before a secret service
man rushed to his assistance with an
umbrella. The president made no ad-
dress.
Mr. Taft went back to his brothers s
house, changed his damp clothes and
spent an hour and a quarter in an
automobile ride through the Bronx to

went to Jersey City and began the
reutrn trip to Washington.
This morning at Riverside drive and
Fighty-third street a young man from
the crowd broke through the line of
police and ran toward the presidents
automobile A secret service man and
a policeman caught him, but he said
he was merely trying to get across to
the other side of the street He was
released.
A feature of the Memorial day cele-
bration was the work morse parade in
Fifth avenue. Two thousand dollars in
cash and many medals and blue rib
bons were presented from the reviewing

Notorious Crook Captured in a
Spring Street Store After
Desperate Struggle

One of the most important captures
in the record of the Los Angeles police
department was effected shortly after
II o'clock last night by Sergeant Au-
gust Hartmeyer when, after a fierce
struggle he placed Emanuel Sepul-
vada, a three-time convict, under ar
rest as the latter was in the act of
robbing the jewelry store of Jacob Bel
gard, AIS South Spring street.
Sergeant Hartmeyer was walking
south on Spring street when a person
rushed toward him and stated a burg
lar had just broken the plate glass in
the door of the Belgard store and was
looting the place.
The burglar was caught in the act
and in his pockets were found a num-
ber of diamonds and trinkets. AS
Hartmeyer neared the store, Deputy
Sheriff Louis Hoffman, who was pass
ing on a street car, noticed the COM
motion and went to the assistance OF
Hartmeyer. Hoffman was met near the
door by a companion of Sepulveda S
and was seized by the throat. After a
short struggle he broke away, but the
pal who was on the lookout while
Sepulvada robbed the store, made his
escape.
AS Hartmeyer started to enter the
store through the broken window Sc
pulveda dared him to make an arrest
and fought viciously while the hand
cuffs were placed on his wrists. He bit
Hartmeyer several times on the hands
and it was nearly ten minutes before
he was oVerpowered. The prisoner is a
stockily built Mexican, weighing 1SC
pounds, and not until securely mana
cled did he stop fighting Hartmeyer
and Hoffman.
At police headquarters Sepulveda was
Immediately recognized as an eX-con-
Vict who was recently released from
San Quentin, following the shooting of
Deputy Sheriff Russell of Ventura. He
is known as a desperate criminal, and
the fact that he had no weapon with
him last night was probably all that
saved the life of Hartmeyer, The prls-
oner boasted that Los Angeles was an
pretended to be intoxicated and re-
peatedly expressed regret that he did
not have his revolver with him. A
search of the store was made after Sc
pulVeda had been locked up, and an
automobile crank, which had been
coated with asphaltum to deaden the
sound, showed how the prisoner gained
entrance to the store. The auto crank
had been used to break the glass in the
store door. Several of the show cases.
which are always locked at the close OF
the days business, were found broken
and smeared with blood. The burglar
had used his right hand in breaking the
cases, sustaining a severe cut.
The knob on the safe was smeared
with blood, which indicated that an
attempt was being made to open the
safe when Hartmeyer interrupted the
work
