HIS GRACE, THE
DUKE, ARRIVES
IMPOSING SPECTACLE PRE
SENTED AT HOTEL -
REPORTERS NOT ADMITTED
One Consignment of Valets, Secre.
tarles, Etc., Arrives, and An
other Is Expected In the
• City Today
Happy Hooligan's friend, the duke of
Sutherland, In at the Van Nuys. As
the Imposing array of carriages drew
up before the fashionable hostelry and
well fed men at arms leaped to the
ground with drawn plkea and formed a
lane, clown which mnrchnd his grace,
two dozen bellboys sprang to attention,
two clerks and Reveral bookkeepers
straightened up and saluted.
Who was the short, honvy set man
advancing down the glittering lane.
The florid' complexion and grey beard
looked familiar. Was It King Kddie
VII? The gentleman answered the
question by advancing to Uie register
and writing therein the simple auto
graph, "Duke of Sutherland." He did
not write the rept of his names and
pedigree, because his secretary, who is
custodian of the three volumes In which
they are inscribed had not as yet ar
rived and the duke could not remember
them all.
The party were given rooms and Im
mediately repaired to their apartments.
Only the first consignment of valets,
secretaries, etc., arrived, with- the dis
tinguished Englishman, but another
shipment is' reported due today.
Reporters Fare Badly
As It was, the reporters fared badly.
The duke could not be seen — the clerk
was good enough to impart that to
over-anxious news-seekers; but some
attempted to run the gauntlet.
A Herald reporter got past the third
assistant shoe blacker, the second
deputy whisker trimmer and two or
three other dignitaries of equal or su
perior Importance, but when he struck
the custodian of the ducal waistcoat
he got no further. - ; • ■
This august personage stood in the
middle of., the hall and .effectually
blocked passage on either side. He said
that he could answer all questions rela
tive to the trip and the intentions of
the party.
By a system of cross-examination the
fact was brought to light that Happy
Hooligan had failed to call upon the
duke when the. former was recently In
England. This fact has .worried .the
ducal mind a great dear since and as it
was;Xeared this worry would bring, on
nervous prostration a trip to "Ham
merica" was planned, that his grace
might explore the wilds of the western
continent and thus forget the slight.
The duke has as his guest B. Chaplin,
A. Sampson and L. Laference. . .

LITTLE CHANCE OF RECOVERY
'Regains Consciousness at Hospital
and Begs Physicians to Save
His Life — Oxygen Being
Administered
Because "Jeannle" Hobbs, a married
woman and mother of a large family,
failed to return his devotions, S. D.
Steffer, a pottery worker, who lives at
731 South Los Angeles street, attempt
ed to end his life in his room late yes
terday afternoon.
In order that no chance might be
left for a failure of his work, Steffer
turned on the gas in his room, cut the
main artery in his left wrist with his
pocket knife and resigned himself to
his fate.
When found by his landlady Steffer
was unconscious and all but dead. More
than two-thlrda of his blood had been
drained from his body, while the dead
ly fumes from the gas that filled the
room practically removed what little
chance there might have been for his
recovery.
Steffer was taken to the receiving
hospital, where Drs. Freedman and
Quint are attending him.
When Steffer regained conscious
ness he called plteously for "Jeannie."
The story he gave for his attempted
suicide was that he was madly Infatu
ated with "Jeannie" Hobbs. Steffer
said that he had lived at 731 South
Los Angeles street for over six months,
and that he had known Mrs. Hobbs,
who lived next door to him,' during that
time.
Detective Murphy was detailed to
look up Mrs. Hobbs, who was at that
time only known to the police as "Jean
nie," Murphy reported later that he
had learned that the woman Is the
mother of several children.
During the evening over five gallons
of oxygen were pumped Into Steffer'a
lungs, and since then he has sunk to
such a condition that his death Is ex
pected momentarily.
Steffer begged the doctors" to save
his life, as he ways he has changed his
mind and does not want to die. He is
a cripple, having lost one of his legs
in an accident a few years ago.
Steffer was visited last night by
Mrs. Ida K. Eddy, his hulf sister, who
lives at Kighteenth street and Griffith
avenue. Mrs. Ktldy said that she had
never heard Steffer threaten to take
his life.

ATKINSON-TYNDALL
LECTURES DRAW CROWDS
Former Speaks in Afternoon and
Latter In Evening, Advancing
New Thought Ideas
Blanchard hall was filled yesterday
at both the afternoon and the evening
meetings. William. Walker Atkinson,
the genial editor of the New Thought
magazine and a recent addition to
Southern California celebrities, lec
tured on "The Majesty of Self."
Mr. Atkinson made an eloquent plea
for the development of individual self
respect and independence. This mental
attitude he characterized as "the lever
that shall raise men out of their self
imposed misery and fear into a knowl
edge of their kinship with God." Con
tinuing, Mr. Atkinson said:
"We have been 'worms of the earth'
long enough. Self-debasement and ser
vility can do no better than to create a
race of slaves. Let us realize that we
are Indeed made In God's image and
likeness and that it is time we proved
the assertion by manifesting the power
and the importance of the self."
Mr. Atkinson's lecture received hearty
applause. Dr. Mclvor- Tyndall followed
with some wonderfully interesting ex
periments in psychij power, eclipsing
many of the wonders of psychic phen
omena demonstrated on previous occa
sions.
Dr. Tyndall's Lecture
In the evening Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall
spoke at Blanchard hall to a large
audience, taking for the theme of his
discourse "Tfie Open Door," and said in
part:
"To be free— free from fear, from the
tyranny of custom and tradition and
arbitrary thought concepts Is to be
come one with power. And, while the
human race remains outside, as it were,
wrangling over the despotism of ma
terial conditions, the door stands open,
through which we may enter Into com
plete mastery of these conditions. Just
at present we feel a condition of mind
pervading this city which illustrates
this tyranny of ideas. We find much
argument for and against the wisdom
of prohibitory laws that shall regulate
the desires and the appetites of the
citizens of this city. Now the point Is
this: If a person can but realize his
Individuality, his strength and his ab
solute oneness with all that Is he wouU
never question the advisability, of en
acting laws one way or the other. He
would know that, as muster of material
conditions, man may choose as he wills
to choose and it cannot affect him." !
During the coming mouth Dr. Mclvor>
Tyndall will hold meetings In Blanchard
hall on Sunday evenings Instead of ii
the afternoons. Classes will meet as
usual, three times a week, at the Mo-
Ivor-Tyndall Institute of Psychlij
Science, 1501 South Grnnd avenue, meet-
Ings being held both afternoons and
evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays iiinl
Fridays.
By request, next Sunday evening at
Blanchurd hall Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall will
speak on "The Secret of the Ages."

MONTANA BANDIT
CLEVERLY CAUGHT
FOILED BY ENGINEER AND
EXPRESS MESSENGER
ROBBER FELLED BY A BLOW
Highwayman's Intended Victims Seize
Opportunity and ' irn Tables,
Seriously Injuring
Him
By Associated Presn.
MISSOULA, Mont., May 28.— A lone
robber made a daring and almost suc
cessful attempt to hold up and rob the
eastbound north coast limited on the
Northern Pacific last night at Bear
Mouth. He is now a prisoner in the
county jail at Drummond, owing to the
quick wit and courage of Engineer
Wilson and Express Messenger Laub.
The train reached Bear Mouth at 11
o'clock last night and had just finished
taking water when the engineer and
fireman were ordered to hold up their
hands by a tall, broad shouldered man
with two pistols. His features were
partly concealed by a slouch hat. The
engineer and fireman obeyed the sum
mons and were then ordered to descend
and cut loose the express car. This
was done and the bandit ordered them
to pull out, he remaining on the en
gine and keeping the engineer and fire
man covered with his revolvers.
When mile post 81, two miles east of
Bear Mouth, was reached the engine
was halted and the robber marched
the engineer to the express car, \fhere
he was ordered to summon the ,mes
enger to come out. The messenger re
fused, but under the robber's threat
that if the messenger did not leave the
car he would blow the car up with
the messenger inside, the messenger
came forth and was lined up with the
engineer and fireman.
The robber then attached a stick of
dynamite to the safe in the car and
blew off the door, shattering the side
of the car. When the smoke of the
explosion had cleared away the en
gineer was ordered to enter the car
ahead of the robber, and the messen
ger to follow.
As the bandit found himself In the
car he ordered Wilson to strike a
match. As the tiny flame flickered En
gineer Wilson saw that Messenger
Laub, who was following the bandit,
had picked up a heavy piece of tim
ber from the wrecked car and held It
raised ready to strike the robber.
Wilson quickly blew out the match
and almost at the same moment the
bludgeon descended upon the outlaw's
skull, knocking him unconscious. The
messenger and engineer quickly seized
upon the prostrate robber, bound him
with rope and, running the car to
Drummond. turned him over to the
county officials.
He had not regained consciousness
up to a - late hour today and It is
thought he will not recover. He has
not been; identified. The car and its
contents were not seriously damaged.
