SAN PEDRO, Calf, September II
The hurricane off the west coast OF
Mexico last week had its reaction in
shipping here today, with two ships
overdue and unheard from and a third
in distress.
The freighter Grace Dollar dropped
her propeller 600 miles south OF here
and her appeal for aid caused the sal.
wage steamer Peacock and a Goa st
Guard cutter to start to her aid. In
addition, the Dollar around-the world
liner President Van Buren, was stand.
ing by. The Grace Dollar was en-
route here from New York when the
accident occurred.
The British motor ship Cape of
Good Hope, which left Balboa August
2S, and should have been here a week
ago, has not been heard from, and,
as she carried radio equipment, 1t is
feared she may have been damaged in
the storm.
The Mexican steamer Bolivar, which
left Salina Cruz, Mexico, August %.
and was due here a week ago, also
has not been heard from and fears
are felt for her safety.
The freighter Horace X Baxter of
San Francisco last night was re-
ported hard aground on an island near
Victoria, British Columbia, but she
appeared in little danger.

STEALS TO FINANCE
ANTI-BURGLAR LOCK
Man Explains in Court Just One
More Job Proved Undoing,
When Caught.
Rx the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 16.-John
Burton as a burglar learned a lot
about locks, he explained in court
when arraigned on a charge of break
ing into a house.
AS he approached 65 he decided to
retire and invented the Burton bur-
glar-proof lock, which even he could not
pick. To raise funds to patent it, he
decided to pull just one more job and
this is the one that proved his undo
ing because he was caught, he told
Judge Emanuel Eller.
He said he is willing to plead guilty
to the charge. but asked a continu
ance until November Z, to attend to
patenting the lock, which he figures
will bring in enough royalties to
brighten his life in prison by provid-
ing tobacco, magazines and other SIM
pie needs.
Judge Eller granted his request and
released him on bonds furnished by
men Burton said had been induced to
finance his lock.
