WAR HERO KILLS HIMSELF
Pat o'6rIen, Former Flyer for the
British Leaves Ineoherent Mote
Believed Mentally 0eranged.

Los Angeles, Cal. =, Lieut.. Pat
O'Brien, veteran OF the British royal
flying corps, killed himself in a hotel
room here shortly after he had talk
ed over the telephone with his wife,
from whom he had been estranged.
1t was just aEree years ago that
O'Brien came home after his greatest
adventure overseas. Four German
airplanes had attacked him. He was
wounded. His plane fell 5000 feet.
He returned to consciousness ina Ger
ma. hospital. While being moved he
leaped from train and for II days
outwitted the enemy and finally stag.
gered into Holland, then made his
way to America.
1t was great homecoming. Pretty
nearly everybody in Momence, Ill, his
home town, was down to the train,
bands played, and pretty girls threw
flowers in his path.
Mrs. O'Brien, through friends, said
she was convinced her husband was
unbalanced mentally, and that his act
was due to that condition.
Lieut.. O'Brien left note addressed
to his wife, in which he spoke of him
self as like the rest of people-a lit
tie bit of clay" In letter he bade
farewell to his wife, mother and sis
tiers. This note, written by O'Brien
was found near his body.

Amid Throngs Of Holiday Shoppers,
Three Masked Men, After Com
hitting Murder, Get Away
With VaIuabIes.

New York.-It seemed that despera-
does in New York had reached the
peak OF their audacitg when three
masked men held up four guests OF
the Hotel Astor in their rooms at the
dinner hour one day last week, but
Thursday afternoon unmasked bandits
walked into the office Of wholesale
jewelry firm at Fifth avenue and 4t5h
street, shot and killed a member Of
the firm, bound and gagged three men
who entered the office in the course
Of the holdup and escaped with jew
elry valued at about 100000.
The holiness of bandits in perpe-
trating two such daring holdups on
successive days in Broadway and
Fifth avenue-the show streets OF
New York-at times when thousands
Of persons and supposedly plenty OF
policemen were about has stirred the
city with amazement and alarm
The murder-holdup taking place as
1t did in the heart OF a district filled
with Christmas shoppers and equip
ped with unusual protection by the
police and private detectives during
the holiday season, illustrates what
daring risks bandits will take. And
with its cold-blooded killing of the
ieweler it shows how little they count
a human life that stands in their way
and how little the fear OF the electric
chair deters them.
None of the murderers Of the jew
eler have been arrested, although the
best detectives assigned to the work
Cf tracing criminals were gathered at
the scene Of the robbery and murder
soon after the bandits disappeared.
The jeweler who was killed was
Edwin w. Andrews, 80 years old, a
member Of Andrews & Winston, in
corporated, with offices on the eighth
floor of the building at 542 Fifth
avenue, at the southwest corner OF
45th street.

MINOR SHOCKS ON SATURDAY

10000 Endangered.

Buenos Aires.-Earthquake shocks,
which on Dec. II. destroyed several
towns along the Argentine slope OF
the Andes mountains, were the most
severe experienced in this country
since 1869, when half the city OF
Mendoza was laid in ruins. Reports
from the area where the shock was
heaviest indicate great loss of life and
property, upwards of $50 bodies haV-
ing ALREADY been taken from the
wrecks of buildings.
At Tresportenas, more than lOO
persisted, and at Costa de Araujo, 80
more were killed. 1t is feared more
victims still are buried under the
ruins in each town. At Tresportenas'
La Vale and La Central, not house
was left standing. No estimate OF the
number Of persons injured has yet
been made.
Minor shocks continued throughout
the district, one particularly strong
tremor being felt Sunday afternoon
at S o'clock in the towns of Martin
and Riyadivia. The people are report
ed as panic-strlcken The city OF
Mendoza was shaken, but did not sur
fer any extensive damage.
In the town of Costa de Araujo the
quake opened great crevasses out OF
which hot water spouted. The water
from one of these geysers reached a
height of about Is feet and formed
q, pool in which two persons were
drowned. A Red Cross ambulance
reached the village and set to work
to rescue any sufferers who still may
be alive in the ruins.
More than 10000 persons inhab1t
little villages along the eastern An"
dean slope and, as reports continue to
add to the long list of casualties ap'
prehension is felt that the final fig
ures will be very high. Rescue parties
have been sent from Mendoza, but
details from the scene of the disaster
are meager, as telephone and tele-
graph wires are badly disorganized.
The earth movement during the
tremor was from the northwest to
southeast and number of small
shocks followed the principal concus
sion, which lasted 80 seconds.

BEGIN BUILDING OF DOCKS
Every Available Employe Of Jahneke
Company in New Orleans
Put to Work.

New Orleans.-The work OF rebuild
ing the Jahncke dry docks which
were destroyed by. fire, which also
damaged three ships anchored near
by, entailing loss of approximately
S2,O00,000, was begun last week. Ev-
cry available employe of the company
was placed at work.
Plans for rebuilding the wharves
and dry docks destroyed in the
spectacular fire we're announced by
Ernest Lee Jahncke, head Of the cor
poration, even before the flames had
died down.
While some apprehension was felt
following the fire that the huge dry
dock would sink. later it was found
to be safe and will be repaired. Dam
age to the Jahncke dry docks and
wharves is estimated at $1,750,000.
The greatest damage to the ships
was suffered by the Dade County,
which was damaged to the extent Of
$4,000. The steamer Dillwyn was
damaged 100000, while the steamer
Darlington was damaged $4,000, &C
cording to estimates. The steamer
John Adams was only slightly dam
aged.
The fire was caused by the break.
ing of an electric wire carrying a
heavy voltage, the end Of which fell
into the river, which was covered by
oil escaping from a nearby tanker
The flames spread rapidly over the
oil soaked timbers of the wharf, caus-
ing heavy cloud of smoke which
made it difficult to fight the flames
or to tell just what ships and prop
erty were burning.
