STORY OF HAWKINS' MURDER. Jetties and Healey Charged With the Crime. flCf Were Arraigned Yesterday at Long Beach. im iaiarvl*" With Saltlas aad What ga Disclosed — Hon- Poar Old Hawkins Was Murdered. On th* night of April 20 of this year loan Hnwkini, an aged baker of Wil ninatou, wee fonnd murdered in hia oom in tbe rear of hia shop. He had teen killed by strangulation. From the appearance of the body shen found it seemed ai though Hawk ns bad been strapped down by tbe rob" sere in order to give tbem a chance to ilunder bis effects. It ii not supposed ihey intended mnrder. and tbeir inten iloni seem to have been simply robbery. The robbers, however, showed no mercy In tbeir method and left tbe old man to lie of slow strangulation. . The deed was a most inhuman one. Hawkins must bave suffered and strug gled for bis life in the very presence of the robber, who, however, took tbe precaution to keep him from making an latory. His face was horribly distorted; i deep cut showed plainly under the left eye; • great gash opened a scalp wound from the forehead to the back of Ihe bead and tbe eyea bulged nearly lrom their sockets. Hawkins was accustomed to rising md going to work in hia bakery as early is 4 o'olock in the morning, the next morning after the mnrder. Constable In ma n in paseing the old baker's shop, aoticed that the Tjjndows were closed, Iho blinds down, and that no one seemed io be aronnd. Tba constable tried the loon and windows and found them lightly fastened. The first thing to at tract his attention was a broken pane of glasa in a front window. Upon going to % rear window he discovered where an •ntrance bad been effected, and further Investigation showed Hawkins lying apon his bed cold in death. Sheriff Cline and all the officers at Wilmington worked for months on the mnrder, but got no oloe tbat would lead to an artest. It proved to be a mystery indeed. The mystery now promises to be short ly solved. Tbe thread of evidence which wai gathered a day or two after the murder of Camilla Klikan at Long Beach has been followed to a point wbera indications looate the morder up on two young men now iv the county Jail. The old aaw that murder will out ie again likel" *icnie trne in tbe arrest of tba men wno atand charged with brutally taking tha life ol John Haw kins. Tbe peraone nnder arrest for Hawk-, ins' death are William Kettles and L. F. Healer. Healer and yonng Feeler are charged with tbe mnrder of Elikan, and it was this mnrder tbat caused tbe ar rest of Settles. All thtee young men had been together for yeara, aud Settles •nd Healey were eopecial friends. Tbey •11 resided at Long Beach. Shortly after the arrest of Healey and Feeler a remark by Settles ceased the officers to suspect him of being impli cated in Elikan'a murder, bat wben tbey confessed and shouldered tbe blame on each other Settles was partially dee; d. Hia statement at once led to the belief tbat be knew lometbinz of Hawkins' deatb, and an investigation led to the issuance of a warrant for hie •rrest, (he facts o! wtiich wore exclu sively published in yesterday's Herald. Both Settlea and Healey were taken to Long Beach yesterday and arraigned injustice Rosea »us' court. Tbeir pre liminary examination was set for next Saturday at 10:30 o'olook. Healey, of course, denies all com plicity in tbe Hawkins' murder, but ad mits tbat bis partner, Feeler, shot Eli kan in hie presence. When • reporter for the Herad called Settles from hia cell at the county jail yesterday, after he and Healey bad been returned from Long Beach, be ap peared smoking a cigarrette and look ing somewhat agitated. He ia a tall, well-proportioned young man, whose face is not that of a murderer, hut whose eyes might indicate • more or leas reckless life. He is said to have caused his family much humiliation by bis careless aud unthrifty habits. "What do I know about Hawkins' murder?" be repeated after the repor ter. 'Nothing." be said, "I bave nothing at all to aay concerning the charge." "Well, then you deny any knowledge or complicity of the crime, and what do you expect to do to clear yourself?" "I ehall prove an alibi. On the night of tbe murder I was in Long Beach, bnt remember only one incident whereby I oan prove my innocence. Tbe last time I was in Wilmington I went there to a dance and that was fully two months before the mnrder of Hawkins." "I never saw tbe murdered man in my life. I bave lived with my father at Long Beach, where be owns property aud still resides, but I can't understand bow I came to bo taken for a murderer. Tbe man who swore to tbe complaint ie one of the fellows who 'get their badges from the east' —a half detective working on his own hook. I think hia name is Boswell." Nothing further could be elicited from tbe young man, except that he expects his father and bis attorney to got evidence enough to cause bis release at the preliminary examination at Long Beach next Saturday. A Monetary Solace. The trial of tho damage suit of Peter Johnson, ' a carpenter, against Albert Thomas, of tbe Union Iron works, for injuries alleged to bave been received ou January 15th, laet, by reason of tbe careless driving of one of the defendant's teamsters, was concluded yesterday in department four, before Judge Van Dyke and a jury. Tbe jury was only ont 20 minutes, returning with a ver dict for tbe plaintiff for $500. Anyone who bas children will rejoice with L. M. Mullord, of Plainfleld, N. J. His little boy, five yeara of age, was sick with oroup. For two days and nights he tried various remedies recommended by Irienda and neighbors. He eayß: "I thought sure I would lose him. I had seen Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ad vertised and thought I would try it aa a last hope and am happy to say that after two dosea he alept until morning, gave it to him next day and a cure was effected. I keep thia remedy in the house now and aa soon as any of the children show auy signs of croup I give it to them and that is the last of it."

A Tate* la Han Franolsao Dlstlnotlj Audible In Los Aerelns. It ii now possible to talk with San Franoisco without shouting the roof off. Tho long distance telephone is now In operation over a double wire, and a mur mur in Los Angeles la hoard distinctly in San Franoisco, 480 miles distant. A tost from ths Herald to the Examiner, over the Sunset Telephone company's line, demonstrated this faot. The test was made under the direction of Buper« intendent Howard Keyser, who ex - plained that although it coats 50 cents to talk with San Franaioso 15 seconds, the rate is actually cheaper than tbat charged for tbe same distance by tele graph, by reason of the fact that more words can be transmitted over tho tele phone in 15 seconds than can bo wired by telegraph for the amount stated. Tho time is counted from ths beginning of the converiation. Tbo rate for half a minute is $1; $1 50 for a min ute, and 5 cents for eaoh additional sec ond. These rates are necessary, because only one perßon can use the wire at a time. For ordinary, succinct business communications the long dietance tele phone is cheaper and more satisfactory than the telegraph. But it Is likely to prove an oxponnive means of communi cation when two women are at either end of the wire. Women comprehend the limitations of time, space and their husbands' pocketbuoka inadequately, and to wed them to a long distance tele phone under current rates io expensive beyond the troubled dreams of avarice. SPINNER'S EXPERIENCE. HOW IT FEELS TO BE HELD UP AND ROBBED. Tha Amatla Stra.t Storekeeper Talis How tha Footpad Out tha Drop on Him Tues day Might. Tuesday evening abont 8 o'olook a tall young man, about 20 years of age, walked into the store of L. Spinner at Hazard and Amelia afreets, and ad dressing tbe proprietor, said: "Give me your money, and give it to me quick I" Spinner looked up direotly into the muzzle of a six-shooter. He immedi ately handed out his money and watch, acd the robber escaped. "It waa a very trying experience," said Mr. Spinner, in relating tbe story yesterday. "The fellow wore a long black mask; had the revolver cocked, and, though bat a boy, evidently was there for busi ness. Yon see, wben tbe thief cams in, my little girl was standing by my side, and I couldn't make any resistance. 1 thought once of watoning my obance and attempt to knook the revolver from the man's hand, but my little girl's presence prevented. "Without any hesitancy I 'dug'into my pocket, banded out $2, all I bad, quickly removed my watch and chain, which I freely gave him, and bade him good nigbt, as he started. But instead of going out, he coolly walked behind the counter and opened, the money drawer. He found it empty, as my wife had jnst removed the change a few minutes before. "Tban tbe robber, going to tho door, jumped, fired hia revolver, and fled, Really, tbe whole thing didn't take a minute, but it aeemed like a week. 'Do I mind such an experience.'you ask? Well, there's only one answer —go through it once and see." FIRS COMMISSION. Th, Chief Will Itnport on Location of Now Eng-lae tToasos. The fire commissioners did iittls busi ness at tbeir regular meeting yesterday morning. Chief Moriarty reported granting tbe petition of W. J. McGee & Son for per mission to erect a carriage shop at Ninth and San Pedro streets, alio that the fine of Frank Sieba had been paid and de posited to the credit of the fireman's re lief fund.

Mr. Joseph's jeweler was posi tive that Gerbrich left a Walthan watch workß for repairs, and returned it, bnt the complainant wonld not accept it. Gerbrich said the watch cost him $75, and the jeweler told him the watch was worth only about $15. The whole mat ter soemn to be a misunderstanding or a mistake ou one eide or the other, and it cannot be believed that Mr. Joseph kept another's property intentionally, Hia case was set for tomorrow at 2 p.m. Thu Pratt Mt«iin£..

Inasmuch as beet oulture hae be come an established induatry in the southern counties of California, and tbe amount of land being devoted to its pro duction being greatly extended, every ewn device tending to perfect tbe pro cess ueed in the manufacture of beet sugar is of interest. At the Chino factory a very advanced point has been reached, and in the chemical laboratory experimentation is beiug carried on, more or less, all tbe time. A new process for toe precipita tion of beet juices with an iron chloride has been tried in Germany with great success, and is, so it is Baid, to be tried in this country. It is claimed that with this method tbe precipitation is more complete than is possible to obtain witb liuia and the regular mode oi carbon atstion. Tbe chloride alao preoipitatea the albumen, and other organic sub stancos are separated at the same time. In this process lime is mixed witb tbe raw juices from the battery until their alkalinity is about 0.08 per cent, and to 30 gallons of juice is added one quart of iron chloride, lime being then mixed in and heated to 170 degrees. Second car bonatation follows, and to 25 gallons of juice one half pint of ohoride is added. The saturation that follows ehould bring the alkalinity down to 0.05, and when the precipitation ia properly done there remaino no trace of iron. In tho German factories, too, the manufacture of levuloso with beet mo lasses is carried on. In this case the saccharose is first transformed into dextrose and levulose, and, if lime is added, there will result a precipitate of levulosate of lime, almost pure, while the coloring and other substances remain in the solution. By a careful filtration and carbonatation it is ren dered possible to obtain pure levulose. The best way to avoid scalp diseases, hair falling out, and premature baldness.

Spring St., LOS ANGELES. J. T. SHEWARD TF YOU WANT TO BUY A CLOAK and have the -*- money to pay for it you can buy one here less than any place in the city. We are turning our cloak stock into money. The way to make a quick turn is to reduce the price low enough to move the goods in a hurry. From 20 to 50 per cent reduction is the way to do it. It is a known fact that we carry the largest cloak stock in the city. The sale the past ten days has been very large. The price is in your favor. Provided at all times you pay cash for the goods. November and December are the best months in the year for cloak profits. It is the harvest time for the dealer. We will make a change in the way we do business on the first day of January and will largely increase our facilities. We will close every cloak to fully carry out our present plans. You can save from $2 to $10 on your cloaks by buying now. All cloaks are marked iv plain figures, and from this the price is cut. We are not overstocked on cloaks. We are not selling cloaks at a discount for the pur pose of raising money. We have a plain out and out busi ness proposition to follow out and are taking a loss on our cloak sales for this purpose solely. There is no fiction about it. There is no deception about our methods. There is a big saving in it to you. Provided you have the cash to pay for your cloak. This is important. This discount in cludes every garment in the house. Furs, capes, cloaks, shawls, for all ages and sizes. If you want to buy a cloak on time we tell you candidly you can't buy it here. If you go elsewhere to' buy a cloak on time you will pay from $2 to $10 for the accommodation and perhaps more. It is the cash trade we solicit. It is the only kind we want. In changing around we want to sell every dollar's worth of dress goods and are making a big cut in this department. Imported dress goods will be lower the first day of January than they are now. Every merchant knows that to be a fact. We are getting out from under our entire dress goods stock and are making prices that have never been made be fore. You receive the benefit. We are doing a larger trade than we have for years. Remnants of silks and velvets for fancy work at a big reduction in price. Side combs and hair ornaments in fully one thousand different styles. By far the largest assortment we have ever carried in this line of goods. New windsor ties for 25, 35 and 50 cents. When it comes to cloaks and dress goods there is no house in the city that can equal the prices. We are making big reductions in these two departments. Elegant canes free with ass purchase.
