BISHOPS DON'T DO so

A friend of the late Father Tabb said
in Ellicott City:
This fine poet and good man thought
that class hatred was due to Ignorance
that the rich knew too little of the
poor and vice versa.
HE once illustrated this ignorance
with the story of a Methodist bishop S
wife who addressed a meeting of slum
housewives on their home duties. The
address made the home life seem all
very fine and ideal, but one housewife
voiced the opinion of the rest perhaps
when she said TO her neighbors, with a
sniff:
shes all right as far as she goes,
but what I'd like to ask her is this:
What does she do when her old bishop
comes home on pay night with his en-
velope empty and a fightin' jag on? "

YOUNG SLEUTHS
CHASE BURGLAR
ROBBER is CAPTURED AFTER
RUN OF A MILE
S. p. FIREMAN TAKES MAN WHO
RANSkcKED LYNCH HOME
Quintet of Boys Follows crandaIl, Who
Tries to Make His Escape by
Jumping On an
Engine

Pursued by five boys, who chased him
for more than a mile, John Crandall
a hobo, who was discovered ransacking
the home of Mrs. James Lynch at 14O
Elmyra street, yesterday morning, was
captured by Fred Thorkros. fireman
for the Southern Pacific, who leaped
from a rapidly moving switch engine
and overpowered the fugitive and held
him until the arrival OF Detectives
Ingram and Beaumont. Crandall was
taken to the city Jail and locked up on
the charge of burglary. A $40 gold
piece, which he is alleged to have
stolen from the home of Mrs. Lynch,
was found in one of his shoes.
Crandall arrived in Los Angeles
early yesterday morning. He entered
the city on a freight train, and as
soon as he alighted in the railroad
yards he decided to start on a foraging
expedition.
Crandall approached the Lynch home,
and after knocking at the door and re-
ceiving no response entered the place
and began searching for money in the
room of Philip Lynch. Not finding
any money, he turned his attention to
a suit of clothes hanging in a closet,
tried it on and found it too small for
trousers a $40 gold piece fell from one
of the lockets and rolled on the floor.
The money promptly was taken by
Crandall, who after donning his own
clothes entered the room occupied by
a daughter of Mrs. Lynch.
While he was ransacking the room
Mrs. Lynch, who had been to the
grocery store, returned and found him
in the house. She screamed for help,
and Crandall ran from the house and
started down the street as fast as he
could run.
The cries of Mrs. Lynch were heard
by her son James, aged 13, who was
playing with four companions, Tom
Carter, Archie Whiteley. John Odone
and Earl Home. The lads were told
that the fleeing man was a burglar,
and they began the chase.
After a run of more than mile,
Crandall. with the boys in close pursuit,
attempted to board a moving switch
engine. Fireman Fred Thorkros, on
the switch engine, saw the peculiar
actions of the man and leaped from
the engine at the risk of injuring him
self and overpowered Crandall.
The prisoner was held until De-
tectives Ingram and Beaumont arrived,
when he was turned over to them.
The accused evidently eluded his pur-
suers long enough to hide his money,
as the missing coin was found in one
of his shoes when he was searched.
The police say that Crandall ad-
mitted having entered the Lynch
home, and that he did so because he
was without money and was hungry.
He probably will be arraigned in
police court Monday on the charge of
burglary.

STEEL KEGS

The substitution of steel for wood
goes steadily on. Beginning with jan
uary or thereabout the National Lead
company will pack its white lead in
steel kegs, having decided to abandon
the use of wooden kegs This innova-
tion is made because the company has
concluded that steel kegs will have
many advantages over the wooden
kegs. In the first place the steel pack
age does not absorb the oil from the
lead, as porous wooden packages do
and there is therefore no drying and
leaking of the lead around the edges,
making it possible to remove every
particle of white lead easily from the
steel keg. The new steel kegs also will
be much lighter, as well as being
stronger, than the wooden ones, and
this will effect a saving in freight
charges. Taking up less room than
the wooden kegs, the new steel pack
age also will save storage space

BRANCH OF AUDUBON SOCIETY
is FORMED
EDUCATE FARMERS, is PLEA or
MEMBER
Riverside and Pasadena Are Cited as
Places in Which Birds Are
Free from Molestation
by Children

A local branch of the State Audubon
society was organized yesterday at the
Alexandria hotel. Sixteen of those
present had feathers in their hats, but
| it is only fair to say that most of the
| feathers We're ostrich plumes, which
are quite permissible even for Audubon
members.
Bylaws for the government of the
new branch were adopted and the fol-
| lowing officers elected: President, Mrs.
Willis Dixon; vice president, Miss
Cora Lewis; secretary and treasurer,
! Mrs. w. j. Saunders; members of the
executive board, Mrs. Harriet Williams
Myers and Miss Mary Mann Miller.
Meetings of the branch will be held on
the second Saturday in the month.
The organization meeting was held
in the library of the Alexandria, and
was called to order by Harriet Williams
Myers, state secretary of the society.
DIR. William A. Findley, who was an
nounced to speak, was prevented by
illness from appearing, and short ad-
dresses concerning the work of the
societies where they exist were made
by Mrs. Myers and Miss Mary Mann
Miller
Miss Miller told of the enormous
number of insects and earth worms
which are eaten every day by young
robins and other members of the bird
family, and explained that by educating
the farmers and Others in this knowl-
edge the practical benefit of the birds
as well as their esthetic value would
be appreciated.
Mrs. Myers spoke of the large so
ciety at Riverside, where more than
four hundred children of the public
schools are formed into Junior Audu-
bon societies, making it their work to
study and learn about birds and their
habits. The most cherished duty of
these children is to protect the young
birds in the nest. The speaker also
gave an account of one horrible evil
dence of savagery and barbarity re-
Gently perpetrated in Los Angeles,
where a woman put poison on the
ground all about her residence, and
when the birds ate of it and died, hung
them upon the fruit trees which she
thought she was protecting.
DR.. Newkirk of Pasadena was pres
ent and spoke of the immense benefit
the birds are to Pasadena, where there
is a large society for their protection.
The birds nest even upon the school
grounds, secure from molestation by
boys and girls, who pass their domiciles
every day.

ory of suicide. even If all the other
surrounding circumstances were not
equally incompatible with it.
The crime was passing into the
realm of unsolved mysteries like the
Mystery of Train No. S26." The po-
lice theory. even in face of this evil
dence, was that the woman was sub
ject to fits and that she died in one.
For ten days the police set themselves
to elucidate the mystery on this the
ory. during which period the MUIR
deders were covering up their tracks
The newspapers insisted that the
theory of a natural death or accident
was untenable. and presented their
proofs of murder. so that the police
were reluctantly forced to accept
them. Inquiries were then instituted
about certain soldiers who travelled
in an adjoining compartment, with the
result already stated.

ROOSEVELT IN CHEYENNE.

Inn Every plainsman within hundreds of miles who could get
to Cheyenne is there today to welcome the ex-President
and the former Rough Rider. For Roosevelt has been a plainsman
and rancher himself He knows the country from long association;
he knows its people, and he knows how TO ingratiate himself into
their good graces. Roosevelts journey West was a series of oa-
tons. as it was expected to be, but the feeling was mostly one of
curiosity-t to see a man so much talked about. But in Cheyenne and
among the plainsmen the interest in Roosevelt is undoubted. 1t is
blended with a real affection. For did not Roosevelt make his home
partly in the Wild West for many years? Did he not always speak
highly of the men of the West? Did he not select his Rough Riders
mostly from these men? Has he not put Western men on the list of
his personal friends2 If Cheyenne whoops up Roosevelt today, what
else could il do?
