Police Looking for Wit Whose
Humor Made Miss
Roberts III.

Three undertakers called at the resi-
dence of Miss Jennie Roberts last night
to prepare her body for burial, and found
her alive and we'll Miss Roberts is the
superintendent of the Young Women S
Christian Home at 81 c street northwest.
This morning it was said at the home
that Miss Roberts was,ill and unable to
talk to any one in regard to the occur
renee.
The three undertakers were from the
establishments Of J. William Lee, Joseph
Gawler & Sons and w. r. Speare. They
said they had received telephone calls
asking them to 30 to the house at 81 c
street to get the body. They were met at
the door by Miss Roberts herself. much
to their surprise.
The telephone calls had been given in
a woman'S voice, it was said. Miss Rob
erts and the undertakers believe tina,
some woman was trying to put up a prac-
teal Joke on them, although the 1st OF
April was in the past.
The wagons and assistants of Under
takers J. William Lee and w II. Speare
met at the Young Women's Christian
Home at the same time. the men in
charge saying they had been sent fol-
the body Of Miss Jennie Roberts.
Third Wagon Appears.
The undertakers' employees soon learn
ed that Miss Roberts was still in the
land of the living and they went away.
1t was long after their departure that
Undertaken Joseph Gawler's wagon stop
ped in front OF the street building, a
message similar to that received by the
other undertakers having been received
at Gawler's.
In each instance the sender Of the mes
sage asked for prompt service, evidently
wanting to see the three wagons reach
the front Of the building al the same
time. Miss Roberts, who had been made
ill and nervous by the calls. called up
police headquarters to ask that some
thing be done to stop the annoyance.
She feared other undertakers would ap-
pear later. but no others called. and Miss
Roberts finally retired for the night.
The police of the sixth precinct made
an investigation, but nothing was learned
by them which would assist in bringing
about the identification of the person
who had sent in the calls.

Philadelphia Capitalist, After Wan

Found in State of Collapse.

LOS ANGELES. Cal. April 4.-Lost
amid the canyons in the mountains twen-
ty miles north Of here. during a rain
storm, Charles Beck, Philadelphia CAPT.
talist, had a narrow escape from death
Sunday night.
After having wandered aimessly about
for several hours, and then finally col
lapsing, Mr.. Beck was found by a party
of rescuers yesterday.
Mr.. Beck, in company with his daughter
Elsa left the tavern. 1000 feet up Mount
Lowe, for the summit. He rode a burro.
while his daughter walked.
On returning. late in the afternoon. Mr..
Beck insisted that Miss Beck ride, while
he started along the trail on foot. She
left him behind When he did not re-
turn guests at the tavern organized a
rescue party. After reaching the sum-
NIT they were able to lind his trail in a
light fall of snow. This led to a point
