UNABLE TO ADJUST
COOK-PEARY FIGHT
PARTISANS OF EXPLORERS
COME TO BLOWS
Native of Denmark Resents Imputa=
ton as to Standing of Copen=
hagen University, but No
Damage Results
Especial to The Herald. ]

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 9.-The
Cook-Peary controversy is responsible
for the parting of the ties of friendship
of Arnold Bjornson, once of Denmark,
and man named Williams. The men
came to blows on West Third street
when in the heat of an argument con-
cerning the discovery of the north pole.
Bjornson was cspousing the cause of
Cook and was ably defending himself
against the more fluent Williams, who
had evidently been a deep student of
the affair from the start. The men,
however, unable to agree on any par
ticular of the events consequent on the
return of Cook and Peary, finally lost
their tempers.
1t is alleged that Williams referred
to the University of Copenhagen in
manner not to the liking of Bjornson,
who remains a true son of his native
land. Incidents progressed rapidly, but
before either had done any material
harm to the other they were separated.
The points in discussion remain un-
settled and probably never will, as
Bjornson now disclaims acquaintance
with Williams and Williams doesn't
speak to Bjornson.

INJURIES AGED WOMAN
DRIVER OF MACHINE TAKES
VICTIM TO HER HOME
Spectators Say No Blame Is Attached
to Autoist, Who Was Proceed
ing Slowly at Congested ln-
tersection of Streets
rsneclal to The Herald ]


PASADENA. Jan. 9.-Mrs. NJ. j.
Thomas. the mother of Mrs. a. W.
stonestreet. 772 Merritt drive, was in
iured seriously this afternoon at $40
o'clock when she was run into by an
automobile driven by r.. L. Raley Oh
1909 North Fair Oaks avenue. Mrs.
Thomas sustained a broken ankle
s,t3rai med wrist and a lacerated scalp.
Because of her age these injuries may
prove serious.
Ralev stopped his automobile quickly
and placed her in his machine and took
her to the home of her daughter.
Spectators say the accident was due
to a misunderstanding rather than 10
any foult on the part of the chauHeuf.
Mrs. Thomas was standing at Colo
RADIO street and Fair Oaks avenue, one
of the most congested street lnlersec-
tions in the entire city. Raley was ap-
preaching the corner at moderate
pace. for the city ordinance requires
machines to slow down to six miles an
hour at this intersection, because OF
the heavy traffic. Eyewitnesses say
Mrs Thomas, who evidently did not
see the approaching machine, stepped
from the curb directly in front of the
automobile.
The unfortunate woman was hurried
to the asphalt pavement with much
violence and the car struck her head'
the wheel passing over her ankle.
Raley stopped as quickly a S possible
and at once hastened to the side of
the injured woman. 1t was seen at
glance that Mrs Thomas was hurt
severely and the autoist, without any
hesitation, lifted his victim into the
car which had run into her and hur-
ried with her to her home.

Property in Question Is Said to Have
Been PIdeged as Security
for Loan

PASADENA, Jan. 9.-Dave Coyle.
city bill poster, manager of the Lowe
opera house and one of the greatest
practical jokers in the Crown city. has
had the joke turned on him. Coyle has
his liberty pending a charge of battery
brought by G. Corwin Keyes, local
architect and labor leader Because of
the facts in the case Coyle was al
lowed to go on his own recognizance.
According to the story told by the
police, Dave Coyle has a friend named
McHugh, and McHugh, having once
been in affluent circumstances. had a
suitcase The McHugh circumstances
later became less affluent, the police
say and he went to Keyes and bor-
rowed money leaving the suitcase as
security.
Last night frantic telephone call to
the police gave the desk sergeant
the impression the Keyes apartment
was being burglarized and that Keyes
was standing off the burglar. The po-
lice made double quick time to the
scene. There, the police say, they found
Keyes trying to retain the McHugh
suitcase while Coyle was trying to get
it for his friend.
The court hearing will show just
how far Coyle went in his effort to get
back what he alleges is the property
of his friend, which Keyes, he claims,
was OBTAINING unlawfully.

BURGLAR SCARE IS
CAUSED BY WIRES
Crossing of Lines on Banks Alarm
System Calls Long Beach Police
to Scene in Great
Hurry
Especial to The Herald !

LONG BEACH, Jan. 9.-Last. nights
calm serenity was rudely broken by
a sudden, terrific changing of bells in
the neighborhood of First street and
Locust avenue. The loud bells were
those making up the very sufficient
burglar alarm i'll the Citizens Savings
bank. The alarm is set each evening
by clockwork, and remains set until a
certain hour of the morning, Any
meddling with the exterior of the
banks vault during that time starts
the alarm going, and it can be stopped
only from the interior of the vault.
The din of the bells is such as to
arouse any one within a number of
blocks from the soundest slumbers.
Members of the police department
gained access to the bank and the
vault and stopped the ringing after it
continued for some time. Crossed
wires were said to have caused the dis
turbance. There was no evidence at an
attempt to burglarize. The bank is the
one which recently was reOpened after
being closed two years.

BICYCLE STEALING
BECOMES FREQUENT
Three Wheels Reported to Be Stolen
Yesterday at Pasadena-one
Self Confessed Thief Is Ar
rested

PASADENA, Jan. 9.-In spite of the
fact the police can account for the
time Saturday of Charles Chambers OF
32S Bauchet street, Los Angeles, the
man who the police say confesses the
theft of a bicycle here earlier in the
week. three more machines We're re-
ported to the police as having been
stolen yesterday. This would seem to
refute the theory of some that in the
arrest of Chambers the Los Angeles
and Pasadena police had at last To-
Gated the man responsible for the
wholesale stealing of bicycles in the
Crown City.
The three who report having had
their bicycles stolen are NJ. NJ. Kill
patrick of 293 Galena avenue, Hall
Butterworth of 100 South Ell Molino
avenue and Gerard Brandenberg of
126 South AIarengo avenue.
The theft of bicycles has grown to
alarming proportions in Pasadena in
the last few months. Shortly after
the legislature made the crime of BIZ
cycle stealing a felony, there was a
marked decrease in such crimes, but
when the law was again changed and
bicycle stealing was restored to the
class of a misdemeanor there was al
most instantly a big increase in the
number of bicycles taken.
While the police have made pub
lie no statistics, it is said that the
average in Pasadena for the last sew
eral months has been at least one BIZ
cycle stolen every day while on an
occasion like yesterday the known num-
Der has totaled as much as five in a
single twenty-four hours
The arrest of Chambers was made
late last night in Chinatown, Los An
geles. 1t was thought he might have
done much of the wheel stealing, but
the fact that three wheels We're stolen
while he was not in Pasadena dis
proves this theory.
