SLAV IS TORTURED
BY TRAMPS
VICTIM 18 ROBBED OF ALL HIS
MONEY, THEN THROWN
INTO CAMPFIRE.
~os Angeles, Cal., Jan. 30.-Tramps,
to whuom lle applied fur food, robbed
Mark Jorheh, a Slavonian laborer,
and then held him on a fire with the
intention of burning him to death
Thursday, according to tye story he
told today to the officials of the
county hospital to whom he applied
for treatment. The surgeons found
that he had been seriously burned on
the back, hands and face. They say
it will be several weeks before he re
covers. Jorheh purchased a ticket in
San Jose for Colorado via Los An
geles. When the train o n the coast
line upon which he was riding was
sailed by washouts near Santa Bar
bara he decided to walk to Los An
geles. He became hungry when night
came on and stopped at a tramp camp,
believing, that they would give him
something to eat. The tramps imme
diately took him in, but when he was
off his guard they suddenly over
powered him.
After taking his purse containing
about $50; they threw him on his
back into the fire. They held him
while the flames blistered his back.
Then they suddenly dashed away.

was no one near enough to hear him.
Beating out the flames he bandaged
his wounds and started for Los An
geles.

his appearance for Initiation, he pro
duced an invitation from the presi.
dent of the Aananlas club. He was
told of his mistake, but he Insisted
that the room was packed with mem
bers of the Ananlas club,
The dinner was well advanced when
the lights suddenly went out. Amid
darkness and with the accompaniment
of a weird piano air, there was a shuf
fle of feet and in rhythm came a
mysterious "'B-shh-sh." The secret
service sleuths were approaching. One
of their number, Blinkerton, explained
that the sleuths were trying to find
out what congressman did with their
$7,500 a year. Chief Bilkie admitted
that he had detected no counterfeit
ers but added that he had discovered
a few four-flushers. The sleuths then
sang their repertoire, including a
song about sleuthing in general and
White House sleuthing in particular.
Finally the squadron separated, one go
Ing out to "protect the letter boxes
in order to keep Senator Tillman from
franking a grand piano."
"Revise Tariff."
At another stage of the dinner an
interruption was made to revise the
tariff. Representative Sereno E.
Payne of New York, John' Dalsell of
Pennsylvania and Champ Clark of
Missouri were dlscovered seated at a
table. Announcement was made that
the house committee on ways and
means was in session to hear evidence
concerning the tariff and "God save
the United States," added the herald.
The climax of Andrew Carnegie's tes
timony came when he demanded to
know what reason there was for a
tariff on steel, now that he had gone
but of business. The music, as at
tractive as usual, reached its culmina
tlion when a quartet of members told
Vice President Fairbanks in song that
in the club's memory his tall form
would ever fondly live. The chorus
joined in singing to the time of _'On
the Banks of the Wabash":
"Oh, the cocktails they are crowing
in the morning,
And the buttermilk Is flowing through
ihe hay:
They are waiting the return of Fair
banks,
On the hanks of the Wabash, far
away."
Good President.
During the evening the first line
sung by a clear tenor directed atten
tion to the president of the United
States. It was a song about "Roose.
velt, good Dutch name." It told how
the president made the air blue with
the messages he wrote to congress.,
how he was bound to have something
to say about everything on the face
of the earth and then concluded wi'
the observation that there was never
a man named Roosevelt that didn't
make "a d-d good president."
A number of members appeared as
the president's country life commis
sion. Some startling discoveries were
made by these frock-coated, college
decree plnatered gentlemen. They
found that the principal ingredient in
milk was water, that ancient eggs are
sold to city folks as strictly fresh and
that openwork plumbng Is confused in
the rural mind with openwork shirt
waists."
As they departed, a messenger boy
handed President Hall a cablegram. It
read:
"The possum am very, very fine,
William H. Taft."
Possum Song.
The message came from Panama
-nd served to introduce Major Alfred
J. Stofer, a southern correspondent,
who sang his famous "Watermelon
