 0F BURGLARS
Officer Wilkcrson of Police Force Captures Men Who Have Been Breaking Into Houses and Recovers Nearly All Plunder.

Investigations which Officer Will kersOn of the police force has been conducting for several days with ref erence to the numerous burglaries that have been committed recently resulted in the arrest of Earl Lewis "a young man, little more than boy and a supposed professional burglar who says his name is J. NJ. Johnson The officer located the men on south Central avenue and took them into custody. They were taken to the county jail and kept separate. After "a while Lewis admitted the guilt of both of them and took the officer to the place to where most of the plum der stolen by them was cached
 The three most recent burglares were those of the houses of pr. John T. Dunlap on Tuesday night, the house of J NJ. M'Naughton. S10 West Madison street on Sunday night and the residence of J. M PhillipkoWSki on Wednesday night. At the last named place they succeeded in break ing a lock and getting a pair of trousers and a coat but they dropped
 
 the house. Lewis said that they were frightened by some one yelling at them from an upper window.
 From the residence of Mir Me Naughton they took a pump shotgun and case. a suit case. q couple of re- V0vers and some clothing belonging to G. W. Brown, traffic agent of the Santa Fe, who rooms there. Mr. Brown had not missed the suit case but when he called at the police sta tion yesterday afternoon to identify the property he saw it there de- scribed the marks on it and the con tents of it. Among the plunder taken from Mir Brown was large hunt ing knife and various small articles.
 Mir. Dunlap called at the office and identified 9 lot of jeWelry which had been taken from his residence There was a necklace of rose beads. q lava Here set with diamond an Eastern Star pin and a signet ring the face of which the thieves had filed away.
 Two more burglaries believed to have been committed by this pair, have been reported but there are seV- eral others believed to be the work of another syndicate.
 Before the first robbery was re- ported, Officer Wilkerson had been shadoWing young Lewis believing that it was only q matter of time before he would be connected with some form of crimlnality. The young man had recently completed a six months sentence from Gila Bend and was liV- 1 ing at q lodging house on East Adams street. Though he was suspected of participation in the burlaries Officer Wilkersm did not believe that he was the master mind and he followed him for some days before he caught him in the company of Johnson.

STATE HAS ROSE
 PLANTING FEVER
t Is Expected That Thousands Of Rose Bushes Will Be Planted
 This Coming Year

At no time has there ever been such wide spread enthusiasm over the state and Pacific coast as at present in the matter of Rose Bush planting Each community seems to vie with the other as to which shall do the handsOmest thing in rose planting. It is coming home to the people that rose planting in the state has scarce N begun-that there should be mil lions more of good roses; the world visiting here looks to us for this accomplishment.
 More intelligent planting: the plant ing of more good varieties is needed. Not only the home but the highways and by-ways should he adorned with roses. The people of today refuse to stick in corner at home of Sunday and brood over their troubles; the getting away from it." and over beautiful highways makes for better men and women and gives q bouyan- cy and optimism for carrying on our duties for the week.
 This rose planting fever is being materially augmented by the Cali fornia Rose Company of Pomona They ship to each point q large as sortment of their best varieties Of their field grown roses. This is the pioneer rose growing concern of the coast: their business is roses eX clusively and it is said they produce and market more field stock of ever blooming varieties than any concern in the United States.
 The growing of roses for the peo- pie was started by this concern about seventeen years ago near Los Angeles and the management states that they now produce a million roses yearly

 Violent changes in plices. accompan- ied by an immense trade kept the wheat pit lively throughout the session.
 Fear as to the effect of cold wave would have on winter wheat was Heightened by dispatches from the northwest saying that blizzard condi- tions in some places were the worst in years.
 Unsettled weather and the removal of an embargo against shipments to Baltimore put firmness into corn. The market was noticeably unaffected by temporary breaks in the price of wheat.
 Oats closed on a rally. but strength was impaired by reports that Argentine oats at Liverpool were being sold cheaper than car2oes from the United States.
