DOLCE WORK ON
L TELEPHONE CLEW
Purchasers of Dynamite
Sent Messages From
Hotel Argonaut

An unintelligible telephone commu-
nication, presumably in a foreign
tongue. to the residence of A. C. Jacob
sen of 1927 O'Farreli street Wednesday
morning opened still another of the
numerous lanes of inquiry in the hunt
for the men who dynamited the build
ing of the Los Angeles Times, leading
to the theory that at least one of the
trio is in hiding in San Francisco and
desperately endeavoring to get into
connection with one of his friends.
The slig clew also led to the inves-
tigation pursuing a new course in Los
Angeles
Prior to the outrage and during the
days of the transactions regarding the
purchase of the explosive. the three
men were at the Hotel Argonaut. and
during their stay made use of the
telephone. Most of the messages were
in regard to the hiring of the launch
from Douglas Burrowes and are per-
fectly clear. but others to West 62S2.
the number of Jacobsen's phone, are
ineXplicable.
JACOBSEN MYsTIFIED
The members of the Jacobsen house,
hold deny all knowledge of the three
men and emphatically declared that
they knew no one staying at the Hotel
Argonaut. Mrs. Jacobsen remembered,
however, that during the latter part of
September she was called to the tele-
phone two or three times, only to be
greeted by unintelligibie words from
the other end Of the line Unable to
make head or tail of the conversation
she would hang up. The same rnys-
terious incident occurred Wednesday
morning. And the belief of the police
is that the party telephoning from the
Hotel Argonaut is the same. person who
did so Wednesday.
The three men occupied room 366 at
the hotel and the check OF the tele-
phone operator showed their telephone.

wall, and none of them could explain
the telephone calls, denying all knowl
edge of them.
On the other hand, the telephone
operator at the hotel is positive that
they were sent from room 366, where
the trio had their headquarters.
As the situation exists now, the de-
tectives are nonplused. Either the trio
were trying to locate some one of their
acquaintance who lived at the places
mentioned. or one of them is known
to the parties telephoned to under a
different name.
BRYCE CULTIVATED MAN
Bryce, according to all accounts of
him, has the appearance of man of
education and refinement, and there is
a probability that prior to his connec-
ton with the dynamite outrage he
moved In very different circles.
Apart from Miss Oseith, the other
roomers at the Jacobsen residence are
Miss Esthel French, trained nurse at
the st. Thomas hospital; Miss Ger
trude Jacobsen. daughter of the
house, and Miss Austen, stenog-
rapher. None of them can explain the
message
That the messages might have been
directed to a former roomer' named
Toner is another theory. Toner occu-
pied room in the place at the begin
ming of September, but left after
short stay. He was about % years of
age, said he was an electrician and
that he recently came here from Dem
YER. Where he went on leaving Mrs.
Jacobsen did not know, and the police
are hunting for him.

three to the Jacobsen house.
UNINTELLIGIBLE1 MESSAGE
Toward the last of September" said
Mrs Jacobsen, there were two or three
occasions when l heard the telephone
bell ring, but on answering it mans
voice at the other end of the line
would begin speaking in an unintel-
ligible way. l could make nothing of
the conversation at all and finally
would hang up the receiver. The same
thing happened yesterday morning at
about l L o'clock. 1 heard the bell ring
and when l went to the telephone the
same voice began the same tumble of
words / asked him to speak plainly
as I could not understand him, but he
kept on talking. Ultimately l grew
disguised and hung up the receiver"
The house has been rented by the
Jacobsen family for two months. A
feature which was noted by the police
is that the landlord is a man named
Smith, and according to addresses used
by him, tailor with his place of bust
ness at $50 South Spring street, Los
Angeles. The police belief is that the
men telephoning from the Argonaut
might have been trying to locate him
or one of his former tenants.

The Sheriff Takes a Hand.

The Teller, Lancaster: On Friday at
the Fair, meeting with H. w. Brown
on the grounds, Mr.. Brown seemed
indignant about the character of per-
formances going on in what was called
the Oriental Theatre. He said if he
could find the sheriff he would see if it
couldn't be pulled" While we talked,
Sheriff Harcleroad happened to come
along. Mr.. Brown told him what he
heard The sheriff went straight for
the theatre on the other side of the
grounds from our position. A half
hour afterwards we were over there
and found the Oriental Theatre was
RACED to the ground and piled up ready
for the wagons to haul it away.

Economy of Feeding Silage.

Lancaster Herald: The time is
approaching when the farmers about
Lancaster will begin to fill their silos
Many of the country residents here
abouts are now provided with well
built, up to date silos and some have
the latest model ensilage cutters. The
economy of silage as a dairy feed is no
longer matter of doubt. The number
of silos in this vicinity will probably
be doubled next year, as more of our
neighbors realize the saving.

drinking cup has been banished from

and have not provided themselves with
cups often go dry. The water is in the
tanks just the same as before, but it
requires a cup Of some sort to get
drink. For the accommodation of
travellers cups are kept on sale at lunch
