MAN VlCTIMIZED
BY BOGUS SLEUTH
Expressman Accountability Lends
Disguised Hawkshaw SIS with
Which to Raid Blind Pig.
Borrower Vanishes

A. Johnson, an expressman who has
stand at Eighth and Spring streets,
has lost his faith in plain clothes men.
Johnson was approached late
Wednesday afternoon by a man who
represented himself as an officer in dis
guise about to raid d blind pig. He
enlisted Johnson's services, borrowed
SIS from him en- route and disappeared.
Johnson did not report the matter to
the police until yesterday morning.
Investigations by the police disclose
that the same game was worked on w.
n. Scruggs, who has a stand at Eighth
street and Gladys avenue, the same
afternoon. Scruggs lost So by the
mans operations.
The mans game is to approach an
expressman and hire him to drive him
to an address where he says he is go
ing to raid blind pig. While en- route
he hastily fumbles in his pockets and
asks the expressman to change $40
bill for him. Frequently the express
man will have a smaller sum, and not
being able to accommodate his fare,
will tender him his money until the
stranger can change the bill. Before
the address is reached the Officer will
request the driver to drive to a Sc
cluded spot while he reconnoiters. He
does not return, and the victim is left
to report his loss to the police.

DEATH SUMMONS WOMAN
OF SPANISH PUEBLO DAYS
Mrs. Luis Roeder Saw Los Angeles
Grow from Adobe Town to
World Famous City

One of the pioneer residents who has
seen Los Angeles grow from a Spanish
pueblo into the present cosmopolitan
city was called by death yesterday
morning when Mrs. Wilhelmina Roe
der, wife of Luis Roeder, passed away
at the home of the family, 1887 West
lake avenue.
Mrs. Roeder was true pioneer of the
west, having crossed the plains with
her parents and a party of friends
from New York in 1854. The "praire
schooner seemed a delight to the
then child, but before the shores of the
Pacific were reached she had come to
realize what it meant to cross the
American continent in prairie schoon-
er. The family settled at San Ge-
briel, and it was in that historic mis-
sion that Wilhelmina HUH was mar
ried to Louis Roeder in 1868. The
wedding was a big event and after the
California style people travelled many
miles to be present at the festivities.
The young couple removed to Los
Angeles and lived in what was then
termed the country, at Second and
Spring streets, in an adobe house.
They resided there until Roeder block
No. was built in 1885, Five years
later Roeder block No. 2 was erected
opposite the Cathedral of st. Vibiana.
Mrs. Roeder is survived by her hus-
band and six children, Mrs. c. p.
Dodge, Mrs. F. G. Johannsen, Mrs. J..
Il. Joughlin, Miss A. c. Roeder, Henry
and Louis Roeder, jr.
The funeral will be held at the home
Saturday at 13O p. M, burial to be
in Odd Fellows cemetery.

VICTIM OF HOAX,
DECLARES FURREY
Retired Capitalist, Back from San
Francisco, Says Story of His
Being Robbed
Not True

Major w. C. Furrey, retired capital
list and hardware merchant, returned
to Los Angeles from San Francisco
yesterday and vigorously denied the
stories which were sent out from the
north that he had been robbed of
$50, 900 at the bay city.
ITO get sum like 100000 together
L would have to convert into cash
everything 1 own, and then probably
would fall short of the mark" said
Major Furrey. II am either the vic
tim of a hoax or of mistaken identity.
The only way 1 can account for it is
that some acquaintance of mine
played on the gullibility of a San
Francisco reporter and started the
story that 1 had viewed the sights of
the Paris of America.
81 passed Monday evening at the
st. Francis hotel. 1t was raining a
little bit and I did not brave the
weather, even to walk about down
town. why, I never carry over $40
or $50, and never' heard of a man
named H. CLANCY, who was supposed
to have rescued me and taken me
to the hotel"

WHAT is A FRESH EGG AND WHEN
is AN EGG FRESH? COURT is ASKED

that the eggs were as represented, the
retailer cannot be prosecuted, but the
wholesaler may be.
The contention of the attorneys for
the defense is that as the eggs in
question were sold to them by a
wholesaler under a marked label and
upon that contention they made a mo-
ton to have the complaint dismissed.
Deputy District Attorney Mccartney,
father of pure food laws" in Los An
geles, argued that inasmuch as the
defendants had not introduced into evil
dence a written guarantee given by
the wholesale dealer, they were guilty
of "deceiving" the public by selling
eggs which were marked fresh which
were otherwise. The motion was de-
MED.

company, which sold the eggs in liti-

ceived by his firm after being in
transit in refrigerator cars eight or
nine days. The trial was continued I'M

what is q fancy fresh egg?" and
when is an egg fresh?" were two
mighty problems that were laid before
Justice Ling yesterday at the trial of
G. o. Johnson and c. G. Hershman,
Alhambra grocers who are charged
with offering for sale mislabeled eggs,
''Must an egg broker, that is, one
who sells eggs to a retailer, break
each egg and ascertain whether it was
laid too soon or whether it was not
laid soon enough before he sells
them?" was one of the questions pro-
pounded to Justice Ling by the attor-
ney for the defendants. Justice Ling
merely shook his head and told coun-
sci to proceed with the case.
Strange to say, there were no dem
onstrations given showing What a
fresh egg is and what an egg that Is
not fresh is like.
Arguments were heard on technical
points involved in the case. The law
provides that if retailer can produce
a written guarantee from the whole
saler from whom they were bought

DoN'Ts FOR GIRLS.
HA<~A .Ar<

Don't be hilarious, but do be jolly
Don't try to be grown up too soon
Don't be sentimental; men flee from
sentiment as a pestilence.
Don't be affected. Be as well-man-
nered as possible, but be sincere.
Don't try to captivate; your efforts
will be detected, and o will be voted
a schemer.
Don't permit the slightest familiarity
from men. Even old men need severe
%snubbing occasionally.
Don't be Miss Primish. A nice girl
sees only what pleases her, hears only
what she chooses; the rest is tact.
Don't cultivate a man who is looking
for his ideal" Very likely he is a
crank; certainly he is a silly creature.
Don't have too many men callers.
There is not safety in a number if a
girl cares for sincere attentions from
one man.
Don't be ashamed of poverty. Be
ashamed of untidiness, Of soiled hands,
cheap jewelry, tawny hats and f1ashy
gowns. The poorest girl can be neat
and dress with taste.
