tlficatlon
BY THE MYSTERIOUS MR. RAFFLES
(George Hnrrln Donobue)
Of all the easy places I ever operated
In this town is certainly the easiest
that ever happened.
I had some hopes yesterday that I
■would be able to walk around Los An
geleß today without bothering myself
as to whether I was recognized or not,
but after dallying with you for three
quarters of an hour in front of the city
hall I finally came to the conclusion
that the only way I could end this
chase was by walking across the street
and shaking hands with Mayor Harper
—and even then it is doubtful If the
crowd in general would have wakened
up to the fact that I was actually be
fore them.
Had I taken the same chances in
either Chicago or New York I would
not have lusted ten seconds without
capture. Even sleepy old Philadelphia
would have raised on its hind legs and
spluttered the mystic formula which al
ways results In my official undoing.
Had I presented the same chances to
the quaint old sleuths of Boston I
would now be reveling in a fresh mess
of beans and brown bread.
But in Los Angeles! — I see right now
where it will be up to me to practically
declare my identity in this town before
any of your ablebodied sleuths go after
me In the manner necessary to effect
my capture.
No Silver Platter Money
On the level — what's the matter with
you people, anyway? What do you
want to stand around like a lot of Sun
day school children for when you know
you are all keenly anxious to gather in
that thousand dollar note?
If you are waiting for me to hand
you this money on a silver platter you
might as well stay at home and attend
to your knitting, as the money will
never be collected in that way while I
am at the other end of this Job.
It is within the province of my con
tract with the Los Angeles Herald
management to take just as much of a
risk in this game as I. consider consis
tent with the success of the entire
undertaking. By this you want to
understand that I am trying to give
everybody In Lob Angeles an equal
chance at the money. I know just four
people in this town — all newspaper men
at that— and you will discover when tho
money is finally won that my friends
will not share in the reward in any way
whatsoever.
Hot Challenge to Doubters
While I am on this point I want to
go a couple of steps further. It has
been reported to me that several detec
tives connected with police headquar
ters in this city have made the declara
tion that I AM NOT EVEN LIVING
IN LOS ANGELES— THAT SOME ONE
ELSE IS GETTING ALL THE IN
FORMATION; THAT SOME ONE
CONNECTED WITH THE LOS AN
GELES HERALD IS WRITING THE
DAILY STORIES UNDER MY SIGNA
TURE—AND THAT I WILL NOT
SHOW MYSELF UNTIL A CERTAIN
DATE ALREADY ARRANGED FOR
BETWEEN MYSELF* AND THE
MANAGEMENT OF THE LOS AN
GELES HERALD.
Here Is my answer to the particularly
wise class of detectives from head
quarters who stand sponsor for the
above pipe dreams.

TER OF ONE OF YOUR MOST
BEAUTIFUL RESIDENTIAL SEC
TIONS OF 1-OS ANGELES.

DISAPPEARANCE TO THE PRES
ENT TIME.
Makes Police Feel Cheap
Commissioner McAdoo made the same
statement in New York city. He looked
and felt like 30 cents when it was
proved by his own detectives that dur
ing the entire of the time I had been at
liberty In Manhattan I had maintained
a headquarters at No. 248 West Thirty
eighth street— right in the heart of tho
Tenderloin.
Chief of Police "Tom" McQuade ap
peared equally foolish before the Pitts
burg public when ho publicly declared
I was not living In Plttsburg during the
time I was at liberty in that city last
summer. Ten minutes after my capture
in front of the Pittsburg postoffice de
tectives from headquarters were going
through my headquarters at No. 1848
Ann street, which is located within five
minutes of the central district on the
street cars.
Director Potter and Superintendent
Taylor of the Philadelphia police de
partment both felt like taking a long
vacation when It was established be
yond any shadow of a doubt that dur
ing 1 the time I had been at liberty in
that city I had lived at No. 5045 Arch
street.
I could recite several .more instances
of this sort, but lack of space forbids.
Challenges Detective
I have refrained from bothering the
police of Los Angeles for the simple
reason I know pretty well that your
department here is handicapped to a
remarkable degree. In the first place
you have not sufficient men to properly
police your town and the detective bu
reau Is so crowded with work that
chances are few that the the men at
tached there could devote but little time
to my capture.
However, this must not be taken as
an indication that I stand in the least
bit of feiir that a member of the Los
Angeles 'police department will ever
catch me. I have never been caught
by a professional detective attached to
police headquarters in my history as
THE MYSTERIOUS MR. RAFFLES,
and I did not come to Los Angeles to
break this uninterrupted record.
This entire story is directed at three
detectives attached to the detective bu
reau, and I will watch with consider
able Interest the haste with which they
will advance to Tho Herald office to
take me up at my word, and cover the
wager I propose.
Los Angoles Is without doubt "the
easiest place I ever operated in and
those who are after me here must bear
that fact In mind. I am working here
In precisely the same manner as I have
operated in other places, and for you
to capture me and win this money you
will have to exert yourselves equally
as much as have others In the differ
ent places where the reward has been
gathered In.
Sees Mayor Harper
I cannot "slow up" for an Instant
while working among you. It would
simply spoil me for further work at this
game. I am among you twenty-four
hours of the day, am eating and llssp
ing in Los Angclus every day and night,
ami am dully giving you chances galore
in capture me.
This shows you Just how easily an

paper In Contempt
of Court
By Associated Press.
SAN. FRANCISCO, April B.— Nickel
In the slot machines and police corrup
tion, allegedly resulting from their use,
occupied the attention of the grand
Jury at Its session today. Telephone In
vestigation was temporarily sidetracked
and no further indictments were re
turned.
The trial of Abe Ruef for extortion
was resumed before June Dunne and
progressed for half an hour when ad
journment was taken until tomorrow
morning on account of the Indisposition
of Attorney Ach of the defense. Ach
filed an affidavit In support of an appli
cation for an order requiring the pro
prietor and editor of the San Francisco
Chronicle to show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt In
having published an editorial denun
ciation of the court conduct of Ruef's
counsel.
June Dunne refused to consider the
matter at this time, saying it would
tend to sidetrack the main issue, the
determination of the guilt or innocence
of Ruef. While making a motion for
the drawing of 100 more names for the
regular Jury list, Ach announced that
the defense will' exercise all of its ten
peremptory challenges.
The witnesses examined before the
grand Jury were Dr. Joseph F. Poheim,
formerly a police commissioner;
Matthew Larkin, local agent for east
ern manufacturers of slot machines;
Fred Hilbert, of the defunct wholesale
liquor firm of Hilbert Brothers, and who
accompanied Mayor Schmitz upon his
recent tour of Europe, and G. Schultz,
a pool room man.
By questioning- these witnesses As
sistant District Attorney Heney sought
to strengthen the charge of the prose
cution that in January of last year, for
twenty days succeeding the repeal by
the police commission of the ordinance
prohibiting the operation of money pay
ing slot machines, large sums of money,
it was alleged, were paid to Ruef,
Schmitz and police officials for "con
tinued protection," until District At
torney Langdon cleaned out the ma
chines under the state anti-gambling
law.
According to an official statement,
given as an illustration, the large
profits made by Schmit7 who was then
an extensive owner or lessee of slot ma
chines, were cut in two, half being re
tained by himself and the other half
being by him turned over to Hilbert
"for distribution among those higher
up."
Controlled Tenderloin
Hilbert is the man whom the prosecu
tion charges with having paid Ruef $10,
00 for the exclusive privilege of sup
plying Tenderloin resorts with whisky
on the understanding that any such
place which refused to patronize Hil
bert would loso its at the hands
of the police commission. Hilbert was
very close to the mayor.
Among the witnesses present today,
but not called, was M. A. King of Los
Angeles, who negotiated the franchise
for tho Home Telephone company of
that city. He expects to testify on tele
phone affairs tomorrow. He said that
he tried from December of 1901 until
September of 1905 to induco the San
Francisco authorities to advertise a
telephone franchise competitive to that
held by the Pacific States company,
and to award it to the highest bidder,
but without success. "I wanted this
franchise personally," said Kins, "but
the supervisors turned me a deaf ear."
RUEF GRANTED ALTERNATE
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
BY THE SUPREME COURT
By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April B.— The su
preme court today granted Abraham
Ruef an alternate writ of habeas corpus
in response to the petition filed several
days ago by his attorneys, in which the
Indicted political boss attacks the le
gality of the appointment of Ellsor
Biggy and the constitutionality of
keeping him in a private prison.
The writ is returnable tomorrow
morning and will be argued before the
supreme court sitting en bane.

NEW YORK, April B.— The

half an adjournment was taken
