WOMAN VICTOR IN
FIGHT WITH THUG
Mrs. J. B. Callahan After Desper
ate Battle Puts Degenerate
to Flight
SCREAMS BRING NEIGHBORS
Struggles with Assailant in the
Kitchen and Finally Routs
Him with Kick
Followed into her home at 9:15 o'clock
last night by a man who answers the
description of the degenerate who has
been terrorizing- Boyle Heights, Mrs. B.
J. Callahan of 3259 East Fourth street,
when attacked by the intruder, fought
him desperately and finally put him to
rout by a well directed kick. Before
neighbors could reach the scene the as
sailant of Mrs. Callahan arose and
made his escape in the darkness.
lira. Callahan left her home shortly
before S o'clock and went several blocks
away to visit a neighbor. Her husband
being out of the city, Mrs. Callahan re
mained at the home of the neighbor un
til 9 o'clock, then walked slowly toward
her own home. She entered the place
through a rear door, and after turning
on the electrta lights, called to a next
door neighbor and asked her to come
• over and .spend the night. The neigh
bor assented ami replied that she would
be over in a few minutes.
Mrs. Callahan left the rear door opon
so that her friend could come In, and
busied herself about the kitchen. Sud
denly a mini sprang from behind the
door and ordered her to make no out
cry under penalty of being killed. He
blocked her way to the open door, and
when lie saw that .--lie was looking for
an avenue of escape he sprang toward
her. Mrs. Callahan fought him off
with her clenched fists, and Just as lie
•was about to seize her by the throat
she planted a hard kick in the pit of his
stomach.
The assailant reeled backward out of
the door and fell. The woman then
infed lor help, and just as the
neighbors entered the yard the man
staggered to his feet, hesitated for a
moment, then ran out of the yard.
Mis. Callahan described the intruder
as being between 22 and 24 years old,
and weighing between 140 and 110
pounds. SheViid he was ', feet B. or 10
inches in height and wore dnrk coat
and trousers, a white soft shirt, and a
black hat with four dents in the crown.
She says the man was rough looking,
and sin; is positive that his eyes are
blue. Her description answers that of
the degenerate who has attacked sev
eral women in that district during the
past two months.
Officers from the east side station
were hurried to the scene and are
searching the district in an effort to
find the criminal.
It is the supposition that the man
followed Mrs. Callahan to her home and
entered- the house while she was in a'
front room.
AVIATOR BRUCKER WILL
ESSAY FLIGHT OVER SEA
Former Chicagoan Plans West
ward Atlantic Trip
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—The next at
tempt to cross the Atlantic ocean in a
balloon will probably be made on a
wfestward course —the opposite direction
from that attempted by Wellrnan.
The expedition will be that cf Joseph
Brucker, formerly ol' Chicago, who h;is
been engaged for a year in the prelim
inary plans of his airship trip. Bruck
er's dirigible, the Buchard, is approach-
Ing completion at Munich. The entire
equipment will be shipped to the Ca
nary islands at the end of the year, and
the start westward is scheduled to lie
made from Tenerlffe next February.
Brucker's first scheme was to start
from Cadiz. The adoption of Teneriffe
as a starting point will save him TOO
miles of travel fiver the ocean.
The Buchard is nuo feet long and has
:-.. iubic meters' gas capacity. Two
200-horsepower motors will drive the
airship by means of two propellers. The
balloon will carry a 35-foot lifeboat,
with a gasoline equipment.
Brucker hopes to sail with favoring
northeast trade winds to Porto Rico or
Haytl.
If necessary he can make a descent
there and then continue his voyage over
Cuba to New Orleans. He has ;,
method of overcoming the effect of the
sun's rays on the balloon, which in the
case of the Wellman expedition sent the
America bounding up to a height of 3500
feet. He proposes to meet this, not by
an equilibrator. as planned by Melvin
Vanlman, but by filling tanks with
water to act us ballast dining the warm
hours of the day, and emptying them
again as the cool of evening comes on<
To do this he proposes to ship an
automatic pump attached to the engine
of the airship, which will take in and
discharge water through a long hose
hung from the lower part of the bal
loon.

Indictments Expected to Follow

(Continued from Tone Three)
and to fathom if possible the motives
lying behind the outrage. The original
subpoenas for witnesses will probably
number about forty.
HUNI>BEO MAS TESTIFY
"Before the investigation is com
pleted," said Detective Browne yes
terday, "teh subpoenas may number
more than 100." The officer explained
that he meant by this that the testi
mony of the original witnesses might
Involve other names and that the
grand jury might also have subpoe
naed those mentioned.
Snbpoenaes will be served on the. In
vestigating committee appointed by
the mayor which reported the explo
sion as caused by dynamite, on per
sons acquainted with the structural
conditions of the Times building, on
persons who were in the building and
in best position to- observe the effect
of the explosion, on detectives and
others who have worked on the case,
on officials of the giant pwder com
pany, and last, but most important,
on Mrs. D. M. Ingersoll, the friend of
Bryce, and Mrs. Belle Lavin, the friend
of Schmidt, who is now held prisoner
here on a charge of murder as the re
sult of alleged complicity in the Times
explosion. a
EAGERLY AWAIT MRS. If\VIN
Mrs. Lavin Is expected to be the sen
sational witness at the grand jury .ses
sion. From the defiant attitude she at
first assumed she has retreated little
i by little until yesterday she became
I almost voluble In her story of her re
lations with Schmidt and Bryce. She
told of whispered conferences held by
the two men In which dynamite was
mentioned and of Schmidt's uneasy at
titude for several days preceding the
explosion.
She sticks resolutely, however, to her
story that Schmidt ate breakfast with
i her in San Francisco on the morning
i of the explosion and that he there read
a newspaper account of the disaster.
After reading the story she says the
man laid down the paper and left the
i house. He returned that evening and
then went out. She declares she has
never seen or heard of him since.
Mrs. Lavin admits that the pair of
man's cuffs found in her room when
the detectives searched It belonged to
Schmidt, but denies that she was In
love with the man or that her relations
with him were anything more than
friendly. She declares that he always
I .seemed to have plenty of money and
paid regularly for his lodgings at her
house at 2410 Mission street, San Fran
cisco.
The detectives are Inclined to believe
her story in part true, but believe that
she is concealing more than she tells.
It was admitted yesterday, however,
that her Indictment as an accessory In
the dynamite case is very doubtful
I ii.l it is strongly intimated that if she
"cornea through" before the grand jury
■with revelations she lias hinted at that
the murder charge against her will be
dismissed.
coxfekenc.es OVER DYNAMITE
To tlio partial revelations of Mrs.
Lavin will be added the testimony of
Mrs. Ingersoll, her friend, who will
be brought here from San Francisco
as a witness. Mrs. Ingersoll, ac
cording to reports from San Francisco,
not only verifies Mrs. bavin's story
of whispered conferences regarding dy
namite, but Bays that the Times was
specifically mentioned in one of the
conversations and that the career of
Harry Orchard as a dynamiter in
Idaho was discussed. Both women
deny knowledge of plan.
To couple up the testimony of these
two women as to Schmidt and Biyson
having hatched the plot in Ban Fran
cisco will be »i numb, of letters writ
ten by the two nu-n under various
aliases. Tlie.se letters arc ii.l to be

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER TDK).
dence concerning the purchase of the
powder at Giant and the caching of
It at the house in South San Francisco.
On this information the indictment of
four suspects is anticipated.
TWO SENSATIONS IN SEAHCII
The hunt for the dynamite suspects
developed two sensational features
yesterday. One was the word received
by the local police that the third sus
pect, heretofore always referred to as
"the Mexican," because of his swarthy
complexion, had been positively iden
tified in San Franclßco as David Cap
lan, who under the name of William
Capp purchased the canvas covers
found thrown over the boxes of dyna
mite cached in the "house of mystery"
in South San Francisco. The second
feature of the case was the statement
of Los Angeles detectives that a fourth
man has been revealed as a party to
the dynamite plot to blow up the
Times.
Caplan was run down through care
ful back-tracking methods. The can
vas cover found over the dynamite
boxes bore the trade-mark of the
Thomas Tent and Awning company. By
tracing back the detectives discovered
that this particular piece of awning was
purchased by a man giving the name
of William Capp and the Grove street
address of a man named Caplan D.
Caplan, a fruit dealer with a ranch
near Auburn, in the vicinity of the mine
owned by Bryson, the man whose name
was taken by one of the suspects in
the ca.se. The description of "the Mex
ican"' the third man who figured with
Bryson and Schmidt, exactly fitted
Caplan. Yesterday Caplan's cousin, a
man named Morton, admitted to the
San Francisco police, that Caplan was
"the Mexican," and that he frequently
met him in company with Schmidt.
This news was at once communicated
to the Los Angeles police, and the mys
tery veiling 1 the identity of the third
of the trio of alleged dynamiters was
solved.
The police of San Francisco declare
that Caplan is a notorious anarchist
and an avowed follower of Emma
Goldman. It is said that he frequently
attended her meetings when she visited
S;ui Francisco a little more than a
year ago.
Mrs. Caplan is now living at 1126 Fell
street, San Francisco. She says that
she and her husband up to a few days
ago lived at the Grove street address
given by her husband in the purchase
of the awning. She says that on Octo
ber 4 she and her husband quarreled
and he left her, without telling where,
he was going. The woman declares
that her husband was in San Francisco
on the night of the explosion, but from
her statement regarding other dates
the police are inclined to believe she
does not know where he was on that
(late. The police have a good descrip
tion of Caplan, which has been widely
circulated throughout the state.
Caplan's connection with the case is
believed by the police to Strongly sup
port the theory of an anarchist plot.
A dispatch from Washington says:
•'Henry Lane Wilson, American am
bassador to Mexico, has advised the
state department in Washington that
thero Is a possibility that the men im
plicated in dynamiting the Times
building in Los Angeles are on board
a. ship bound tor the Mexican port of
Manzanlllo,
"Jt Is understood that the governor
of California has requested the fed
eral government to take action
through the American embassy here
for th of the suspects, und the
request has been registered In Mexico
City.
"Ambassador Wilson and Foreign
Minister Creel refuse to discuss the
matter."

EDGAR SALTUS AND
OLGA SINCLAIR WED
Friends of Writer and Former
Attendant in Library Hear
of Oklahoma Wedding
Friends of Edgar Saltus, well known
writer and apostle ot the asthetic, have
heard that the a ithor was quietly mar
ried recently to Miss Olga Sinclair at
the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Niel Sinclair, at Delaware, Okla., and
that the couple are now enjoying their
honeymoon in southern seas, some
where off the coast of South America.
Miss Sincluir resigned her position
in the Los Angeles public library as
an attendant last June, and on the Ist
of July left for the home of her
parents.
Mrs. F. J. Bronson, from whom MNs
Sinclair rented a small cuttage at 1142
Arapahoe street for six months prior
to leaving Los Angeles, said Miss Sin
clair had told her she was engaged to
be married to Saltus and that the wed
ding would soon take place at the
home of her parents in Oklahoma.
"Miss Sinclair told me," said Mrs.
Bronson last night, "that their honey
moon would be passed cruising on a
yacht off South America and that they
would later visit the principal points
of interest in Europe."
"Saltus," said Mrs. Bronson, "called
on Miss Sinclair frequently at my cot
tage and appeared very attentive."
The romance, it Is said, began in the
public library, which Saltus visited
frequently to take out books. Miss
Sinclair, the attendants say, appeared
to take an interest in the writer which
ripened into strong bonds of friend
ship, i
The rumor that the couple would
soon wed was rife several months ago,
but Saltus at the time entered an em
phatic denial.
Saltus lives in New York and is the
author of several well-known books
that have served to bring him into
prominence in the literary world,
among them "A Transaction in
Hearts," "'When Dreams Come True,"
"Mary Magdalen," "Imperial Purple,"
"Purple and Fine Women," "The
Pomps of Satan," "Historla Amorls"
and "The Lords of Ghnstland."
Saltus was born in Now York June

miinber of the Manhattan club, New
York; Blenheim, London, and Capu
cinei club In Paris.
Miss Sinclair is many years the

and pretty, with a wealth of dark
brown hair. She is .said to be a great
student and an admlicr of Saltus'
works.

OFFICIAL REVEALS PLAN
OF INDIAN CONSPIRACY
Advocate General Resumes Argu
ment Against Govt. Foes
BOMBAY, Oct. 21.—Th* advocate
general, continuing his address for tlie
prosecution in the Nasik conspiracy
trial, withdrew the charge of waging
war, but pressed the charge of at
tempting to wage war. The case for
the prosecution, he said, was that all
thirty-eight of the accused were mem»
bers of a large body of conspirators.
Their ages ranged between 17 and 48,
and ten were undpr 20. A lurge pro
portion were prl-sts, students and
schoolmasters, and some were univer
sity graduates. The object of the con
spiracy wan to obtain home rule by all
or any means. Money was collected by
theft and otherwise; arms were ob
tained, explosives were manufactured
in Naslk and Bombay, {he murder of
officials was contemplated and the as
sassination of Mr. Jackson, the reve
nue collector, was perpetrated. Naalk
was the headquaiters, with branches
of Igatpuri, Aurungabad and elsewhere.
In 1903 a society was established by
Savarkar and his brothers to promote
Swadeshi and religion. In 1905-00 the
name and the object of the society
were changed and it devoted itself to
the attainment of home rule. In 1906
Vinayak Savarkar made speeches in
citing his hearers to rise against Brit
ish rule. In May of the same year
Savarkar went to England. There he
wrote :i preface to a life of Mazzini
with the object of forming a secret
society for the purpose of overthrow
ing the Indian government and estab
lishing home rule by force.
Two thousand copies of the book
were scattered in India with a view
to inculcating the principles expounded.
Savarkar advocated the collection or
arms and secrecy and prescribed a
form of oath and revolutionary jpo
cedure. Karve, one of the defendants,
pushed these doctrines at Thana and
other places and utarted branches of
the society at Igatpuri and in the
Nasik district.
It is believedUhal all of the accused
will be convicted and deported or ex
ecuted.
CHILDREN DESERT HOME
TO ESCAPE POTATO DIET
Brothers Travel and Live Royally
While Funds Last
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—Mashed potatoes
served on the family table morning,
noon and night became so odious to
James Smith and Gilbert Lancaster,
two 10-year-old lads from Molino, 111.,
that they ran away from home and
came to Chicago to obtain a change
of diet. Last night they landed in the
Harrison street police station after
being picked up on the streets penni
less and anxious to return home.
"We wore treated well at home,"
the boys told Sergeant Oonroy, "but at
every meal we had to eat mashed po
tatoes, either. Wo ate only one good
couldn't eat them any more. Wo saved
our money until wo had $20 and we
sneaked away from school and came
to Chicago Monday.
"The first meal we bought cost us
HO cents apiece, and you bet we didn't
oat any mashed potatoes, or fried po
tatose, either. We eat only one good
meal a day and the rest of the time
wo lived on Ice cream soda. Now wo
haven't any money, and guess we'd
better go back to school, but maybe

TESTS RELIABILITY OF
LAW COURTS EVIDENCE
Swiss Educator Makes Interest
ing Experiment
GENEVA, Oct. 21.—Prof. Marquis of
Lausanne university has made some
Interesting experiments which seem
to prove that evidence given in law
courts is seldom reliable.
Last week he questioned a number
of his students concerning various
parts of the university buildings and
other objects which are before their
eyes every day. Out of fifty-four stu
dents not one was able to answer eight
questions correctly, and when asked
about a certain window forty-flve de
nied its existence, eight affirmed it,
and one remained undecided.
Another test of their powers of ob
servation was to ask them to describe
the dress and appearance of a man
wearing a mask who had been intro
duced into tho lecture room two days
before. Their answers varied consid
erably. They were also shown ten
masks, out of which they were to se
lect that worn by the man. Out of
twenty-four students, only four rec
ognized the correct mask, eleven made
mistakes and nine could not make up
their minds about it.
"All these persons," says Prof. Mar
quis, "are men of education and cul
ture. What, then, are we to think of
the statements made in criminal law
courts by persons who belong to less
educated classes?"
FORGET SPEED LIMIT TO
GET MARRIAGE LICENSE
Groom Borrows Preacher's Auto
to Hasten Wedding
CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 21.—Love laughed
at trolley cars and Dan Cupid proved
that he. ia wise to the modern means of
surmounting obstacles when a big
touring cur, the property of the Rev.
Dr. George W. Henson, a Philadelphia
clergyman, was pressed into service
for a trip to Media to procure a license
permitting George A. Hobe and Miss
Phoebe Jcanette Whitson of New York
city to be made man and wife.
The pair, accompanied by Jonn Whit
son, father of the young woman, called
at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church
parsonage late yesterday afternoon and
said they wanted to get married. No
license had been procured, but the
young man said he would go and get
one. He was told that the court house
would be closed by the time he reached
Media, and the wedding party was
plunged into the depths of despair,
when the Rev. Dr. Henson, who was
attending the district Epworth league
convention, volunteered the use of his
automobile.
Perhaps somebody exceeded the speed
laws in the trip to the county seat, but
with Cupid at the wheel nobody had
the heart to put up a kick. The mar
riage took place last evening.

CURE OF ECZEMA
AND DANDRUFF
— ■__ —_
By One Box of Cuticura Ointment arid
One Cake of Cuticura Soap.
Head Perfectly Clear.
"I am pleased to inform you that I
have been cured by Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Since I was a boy I have
suffered with dandruff, not only from
the itching but from Its disagreeable
appearance in a scaly form all over my
head. I had to brush it off my clothes
all day long. I used every kind of prep- -
aration supposed to cur* dandruff, also
soaps and shampoos, but it seamed to
me that, instead of improving - with
these remedies, the dandruff increased,
even my hair began to fall out and the
result was that two months ago eczema
developed on my scalp. ,
" I suffered so from this that as a last
resource I thought I would try Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment. They had
the most gratifying results for 1 had
used only one box of Cuticura Ointment
and a single cake of Cuticura Soap when
I wax cured, the eczema and dandruff
were gone and my head perfectly clear.
"I can assure you that so long as I
live no other soap than Cuticura will b*
used by me and all those near to me.
I will also add that I will always use
Cuticura Ointment as a dressing for the
hair. I feel that you should know of my
cure and if you desire you may use this
as a true testimonial -which comes from
a sufferer of thirty years' standing. I
will be happy to tell any one of my ex
perience in order to assist those who may
be suffering from the same disease. J.
