Police Inclined to Blame Railway Of.

Then and Suppressed
Information
'-^Little hope remains in the police de
partment and nmoiift the sheriffs' offi
cers of connecting the Rang of crooks
that was known to have planned a
triple Jewelry robbery nnil a burglary
PI the large tub postal stations In I,os
Angeles with tho two bandit" who
robbod passenger" nn the Pasadena
"■hort linn" car near the city limit*
Sunday night.
Though there Is positive evidence thnt
the highwaymen uro members of the
Rang which came from tho past, nil
effort* to connect the gangs have failed.
No clews to the whereabouts of the
car robbnrs romnln. After exhausting
efforts the county nnd city officers have,
traced evrry bit of ground and have
found nothing. Thny now rely on the
efforts of outside officers to bring about
the capture of the criminals.
11l feeling against the street car com
pany still exists among the officers.
It Is known that Capt. Flammer and
his men In the detective department
knew nothing of the circumstances of
the case for many hours, with the ex
ception of the slight Information given
by Dr. O. Wllcox. attached to the Sis
ters' hospital staff, who, at the risk of
being shot, leaped from the moving
car to notify the officers.
| Deputy Sheriff Franklin, with his
force of deputies, has labored day and
night. That they have Becured no re-
BUlts the police, who are generally will
ing to criticise county officers, believe
M due to the tardy information. "If
the car company had only Informed us
of tho men and given us their descrip
tion," Is the expression general among
the Los Angeles officers.
Now that the Los Angeles authorities
have secured all Information possible
at this late date, descriptions of the
men have flooded the country. An
effort will be made to locate the men
by all the officers In surrounding towns.
The circumstances of the tardy inform
ation have been explained to them and
extraordinary efforts are being made
by them.
KING OF LILIPUTIA GOES BACK
August Tift, Austrian Dwarf, De-
ported for the Second Time
Because of Size
Special to the Herald.
NEW YORK. Dec. 26.— Aupust Tift,
an Austrian drawf from the village of
Bucarri, went back to his native land
yesterday morning at the order of
Immigration Commissioner "Watch
cm on board of the Patricia. This
is the second time in his twenty-four
years that the little man has tried to
come to America.
He Is only four feet and three Inches
high, and was sent back last June
because he was considered not big
enough to wrestle with a citizenship
in this country. Taunted by his friends
on his home coming, he was spurred
on ' to repeat the effort, and landed
here for the second time on Monday
from the Pannonia.
When qupstioned by Commissioner
TVatchorn Tift, in broken English, said
that he had been told that there was
'6. city of little men near New York and
that he had come here to find them,
and was, in fact, willing to become,
monarch of the Lilliputians In this
country. At last It was discovered that
the little men that he was looking for
•were the manikins of Coney Island.
ONE MAN KEEPS UNION ALIVE
Drivers' Agent Pays Dues for Six
Hundred Scattered Men Every
Month to Do It
Special to The Herald.
: CHICAGO, Dec. 26.— Chicago has a
phantom union. Although the Railway
Kxpreos Drivers' Union was broken up
by the teamsters' strike last summer
and its membership scattered from
Alaska to South Africa, James B.
Barry, erstwhile business agent of the
organization, appears every month and
pays dues for 600 men In the Chicago
Federation of Labor.
■ This unprecedented proceeding— one
man paying dues for 600— Is believed
to be part of "Skinny" Madden'a
scheme to regain control of the Chicago
Federation of Labor. It Is known that
not half a dozen of the express drivers
remain In Chicago.
Keep
Your Nerve
It is nerve energy that runs
,the organs of your body. The
battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
: nerve force is sent out through
' ; the system of nerves. To keep
the . "body healthy you must
liave plenty of nerve force; if
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe-
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
.aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with Dr. Miles' Nervine.
'It assists in generating nerve
'energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
''system strong and vigorous.
■ "I take pletiHure In recommending
• Dr. Miles' Nervine to those miflerlng

Special to Th« Herald.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 2«.-Seeretftiy
T«ft has received the honor, uncon»
scloua so far a* he is concerned, of
hftvlnff a cigar named after him, and
omeern of the army and navy who have
been wntchlnjr mich matters for years
believe It Is amlnous.
They cite the case of Rear Admiral
Sampson, whose name was put on a

was stricken with hln fatal disease.
Hear Admiral Bchley likewise was dls-i
tlngulahcd, and In a few weeks he was,

Oen. Mac Arthur received the tribute
and has had to serve In active service,
whilo he snw younger men promoted

death a cigar was named after the
late John liny. Henry (leorge, who
hnd a cigar nnmed for him, died soon
after. Chester A. . Arthur, James A.

KANSAS CITY WOULD
ISOLATE LIMBURGER
MAY PUT THE ODOROUS PRO
DUCT UNDER RESTRAINT
The Object Is to Compel It to "Flock
by Itself" In Dealers' Ice Boxes.
Measure Introduced by Alderman
Jewett and Is Likely to Carry
Special to the Herald.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 26.— Limburger
cheese Is to be placed under legal re
strictions.
It is not to be allowed a place In the
same Ice box with butter, milk and
other food products susceptible to
strong odors. That is the provision in
an ordinance to regulate Ice boxes and
refrigerators, introduced in the upper
house of the council last night.
The ordinance, It is asserted, Is not
due particularly to any aldprmanir
aversion to limburger. In fact some of
them have at various times ben sus
pected of a prodlllctlon for that kind
of cheese in connection with Dutch
lunch. But they like it "straight"— as
they do their butter and milk. They do
not want a mingling: of odors.
The ordinance was Introduced In the
name of Alderman E. S. Jewett. He
said he was requested to introduce It
by Dr. W. P. Cutler, city meat inspect
or. It gives that officer power to com
pel dealers In food products to keep
their refrigerators clean and provide
separate storage for products that may
be tainted by other contents of the Ice
boxes.
Specifically the ordinance requires
that all ic c boxes and refrigerators
used for storing meat sold to the pub
lic shall, at all times, be kept clean
and In a sanitary condition. No person
shall place limburger cheese or other
strong smelling cheese or substance, or
any milk or butter in any ice box or
refrigerator used to store meat which
is to be sold to the public. The ordi
nance Is to be enforced by the officers
of the board of health and the penalty
for violation is a fine not to exceed
$500.
STIRRED BY WOMAN'S VOICE
Locked in a Room She Said (Over
the Phone), but She Was
Only Teasing
Special to Tho Herald.
PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 26.— Just
about dusk last evening the telephone
bell in police headquarters in the city
hall tinkled Insistently. Lieut. Keyser
answered It himself.
"Oh, help me! I'm locked in this
room. Oh!" gasped a sweet feminine
voice.
"Where? Where?" demanded the
lieutenant. The musical voice was
fainter this time:
"In the Estey building on the fifth
floor. Please come and get me!" it said
ending in a little shriek.
Lieut. Keyser picked out the fastest
runner on the reserve force, No. 22, and
dispatched him with all speed to 1120
Chestnut street .
The elevator in the Estey building
was in charge of a little, old gray
haired woman. She looked quizzically
at the big reserve cop when he puffed
in.
"Where's the woman what's locked In
a room?" he demanded.
"What are you talking about?" said
the elevator woman.
When No. 22 had finished explaining
there was excitement in the building.
There were gathered about him two
watchmen, two porters, seven scrub
women and an innumerable company
of office boys, each one of whom was
Just sure he knew which room It was.
The party divided Into two squads, and
led by the watchmen, who had skeleton
keys, they searched every room on the
fifth floor without finding any fainting
woman clutching to a telephone re
ceiver.
Then they went about the other floors
shouting at loudest voice:
"Where's the woman that's locked in
the room?" No replies were heard and
then the fourth and third floors were
searched.
For some of the rooms on tho top
floor there were no keys that would fit,
and the mystery, if there be one, In the
Estey building Ik still locked in one of
those unused offices.

SAFE IN VAN NUYS RUINS IS
INTACT
Hotel Officials Hope to Return Valu.
ables to Guests Who Were
Driven Into Streets by
Sunday's Fire
Employes of the Broadway Van Nuys
Hotel company, whose hostelry was
destroyed by fire Sunday morning,
■worked all day yesterday removing
furniture and the belonpinps of the
guests which were not burned. An at
tempt was made to get the safe open
but it was covered with debris. The
safe will be raised today and the valu
ables which it contains will be returned
to their owners. The proprietors of the
hotel stated last night that they
thought the contents of the safe were
uninjured.
"All that we are trying to do to
day," said Mr. Clark of the hotel com
pany yesterday, "Is to get as many of
the valuables out of the building as we
.can and return them to their owners.
"We feel that our guests should be given
the first attention."
Recovers Gold Nuggets
K. R. Dunn of Alaska was one of the
largest losers among the hotel guests.
He went to the room yesterday which
he occupied before the fire and found
several hundred dollars' worth of nug
gets which he was unable to take with
Mm when he left the building Sunday
morning. The chamois skin bags In
which the nuggets were contained were
uninjured by the flames and had re
mained on the dresser where they had
been left.
Both Mr. Cl^rk and Mr. Forsyth
stated yesterday that the statements
that have been made that the fire
originated in the hotel basement are
false. As evidence that the oil heater
did not explode they showed the ap
paratus to a reporter. It Is uninjured
except from the damage done by heat
and water. They gave their opinion
that it would not be in the good con
dition that It Is now if it had ex
ploded.
G. F. Crouse, day engineer at the
hotel, was one of the first persons who
became aware that there was a fire In
the vicinity of the place.
Shut Off Oil Heater
"When I first saw the fire," said
Crouse yesterday, "It was a small blaze
under the wall paper store. For a few
minutes I did not think that our build
ing was in danger. As the fire gained
headway I became alarmed and ran to
the heater in the basement of the hotel
and shut off the oil."
Chief Lips of the fire department
said yesterday that he Is satisfied that
the blaze originated In the basement of
the wall paper store.
"There is no doubt in my mind," said
Chief of Police Auble yesterday after
noon, "that the fire sturted In the base
ment of the California Wall Paper
store. The rear of that building is
charred while the wood at the rear or
the hotel building Is not burned. If the
oil heater in the hotel had exploded the

Tell Humorous Reminiscences
Both Mr. Clark and Mr. Forsyth said
yesterday afternoon that they are anx
ious to get located nnd get business
established again. They will hold aj
conference with the owners of the!
building this afternoon when it will be.
decided what will be done with the
charred structure.
Many of the guests who were driven
from their rooms by the fire have taken '
quarters at the Broadway hotel. They
told many incidents of the fire last
night, and some of them were quite
humorous. One of the tales they told i
was about a Jew and his wife who were |
suddenly awakened in their room on
the fourth floor. The man ran out into
the hall while his wife remained to put
on some of her clothing.
"Come on Winnie," he cried.
His wife told him that she would
come as soon as she had donned some
of her clothes. Turning to the elevator
boy he said:
"Take me down. Take me down."
"Don't you want to wait for your '
wife?" queried the operator of the 1
elevator.
"Take me down," cried the Jew, "and
I will come back and get her."
The boy did not see the affair this
way and made the man' wait until his
wife was ready to accompany them.

Fined Five Dollars Each and
a Rebuke
Special to The Herald.
AI/TOONA, Pa., Dec. 26.— "Such dis
cordant sounds on tho still night ait
would bo sufficient provocation for the
most peaceably Inclined citizen to raise '
the window and open fire upon you,"
said Magistrate Duncan to five pris
oners who had just sung before him In

your alleged 'serenade' deserves a |
