Approximately $500 worth of jewelry was stolen from the window of the Jewel Box, 223 West Center street, early this morning by a thief who broke the plate glass with a brick after partly cutting it with a diamond or glass-cutting device.

Other jewelry in the window valued at $1,000 could not be reached by the thief. The robbery was discovered by Miss Mary Chapman, an employee of the Knife Cafeteria, as she was on her way to work about 6 o'clock, H. C. Brown, one of the proprietors of the cafeteria, had passed the jewelry store nearly an hour earlier and since he did not discover the robbery it is thought that it must have occurred between 5:30 and 6 o'clock. Girl Discovers Robbery Miss Chapman reported the theft to Mr. Brown who called the police and notified Arthur Cohen, proprietor of the jewelry store. Policemen Chonte and Steadman arrived immediately and began an investigation. The police also advance the theory that the theft was committed about 6 o'clock and say that this hour was selected because the shifts in the force are made at that time. Herman J. Zabel, finger-print expert of the shiffr's office came to Anaheim early today and secured finger prints and other clues which may lead to the apprehension of the robber shortly.

One stoic and motionless, the other nervous and eager, Robert Rosser and Charles Handy, charged with the murder of Mrs. May M. Ricketta of Long Beach at Anaheim Landing November 1, were given their preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace J. B. Cox today. Following the waiving of the rights to a trial in the juvenile court by Judge R. Y. Williams, due to the magnitude of the case, the lads were brought up in the justice court in the regular form of procedure for their hearing. They are being held in the county jail without ball, held to answer to the superior court on the murder charge. An attorney to be appointed by the court will soon start to work upon the case for the defense of the youths. Rosser, the stoic, who has admitted the shooting, confessing that he held the gun, showed a trace of passionate temper at the hearing this morning. Woman's Companion Testifies G. W. Wolfe of Long Beach was on the stand. Wolfe was the companion of Mrs. Rickett on the beach at time of the shooting. He had told of the circumstances of the crime, relating how he and his companion were walking on the beach near the water when Rosser and Handy suddenly appeared before them and demanded their money. According to Wolfe, Rosser stuck the gun in his face and told him to put up his hands or he would blow his brains out. Mr. Wolfe also told how Rosser had turned to Mrs. Rickett and demanded her money as well, and when she hesitated, had deliberately shot her. Youth Questions Witness When the prosecution represented by Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley, had finished with the witness, Rosser asked Mr. Wolfe if he had seen him shoot Mrs. Rickett without a struggle as he had said in his version of the shooting. The witness replied vehemently that he had. "It's a lie," said Rosser with a show of repressed passion. He was rebuked by Judge Cox and warned against further outbreaks of a similar nature. Handy had nothing to say. Burton E. Whittington, city marshal of Seal Beach, was the next witness and told of the taking of the boys from an automobile, to the driver of which they are said to have confided their secret and the wish that they be turned over to the authorities. He told the story of finding the body on the beach, as told by the boats and later of finding the gun in man on train 12 was fatally injured. Train 17 was west-bound and No. 12 was eastbound on north bank line near Celillo, Wash. During the present jieup in the Columbia gorge, with their tracks on the south side of the river damaged by the recent storm, the Oregon-Washington company has been routing its trains over the tracks of the Spokane, Portland and Seattle lines from Fall Bride to Portland via Vancouver, Wash. Confusion in Dispatches Train 17 crossed the bridge over the Columbia at Fall Bridge and was to continue on into Portland. Due to confusion in dispatchers orders both trains were on the left hand track. The engines were smashed into each other from the force of the impact and four coaches, two on each train, demolished. The body of George Bristow, fireman on train 17, had not been recovered at 8 o'clock this morning. Rescue workers were using acetylene torches to cut their way through the wreckage of the engine to reach his remains. Relief Workers Busy Relief workers with twenty nurses and four doctors from TheDalles returned here with the dead and injured at 5:25 this morning. The dead were placed in a local morge and the injured rushed to Portland. Train 12 had just crossed the Columbia river at Fall Bridge and had regained its own tracks on the south bank when the accident occurred. Anaheimers To Attend Meeting At Orange Notices were received at the local chamber of commerce this morning announcing the regular monthly meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County, to be held at the American Legion rooms at Orange, Wednesday, December 7.

Quarrel Over Accident Ends in Divorce Decree LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1.—The culmination of a bed-side quarrel over who was to blame for an accident which resulted in serious injuries to their son, climaxed yesterday with Mrs. Georgia Bartram being granted a divorce from Edward E. Bartram, a dentist. The husband accused Mrs. Bartram of being responsible for the accident, according to testimony. She was awarded the custody of their three minor children with $250 a month allowance on her statement ashore ten miles south of San Francisco, according to a wireless received early this morning by the marine department of the chamber of commerce.

Permits issued during the last month brought the total for the year to $1,197,326, a sum in excess of the total of last year by several thousand dollars. Constable Injured, But Prisoner Unscratched LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1—Is the first harder than the head? Constable R. W. Witherspoon of Downey, says he isn't an authority on that question but he can show some evidence that it isn't. The constable arrived at the Los Angeles county jail yesterday with J. G. Gillingham, who had been sentenced by Justice A. S. Gray of Downey, to one day in jail for contempt of court. Besides the prisoner Witherspoon arrived with a badly smashed hand including a broken finger which he said was caused by hitting Gillingham on the head when he tried to escape. An examination failed to disclose any marks on the prisoner's head. Marriage may be a failure in some cases, but with the advent of twins it becomes a howling success. “It’s a lie,” said Rosser with a show of repressed passion. He was rebuked by Judge Cox and warned against further outbreaks of a similar nature. Handy had nothing to say. Burton E. Whittington, city marshal of Seal Beach, was the next witness and told of the taking of the boys from an automobile, to the driver of which they are said to have confided their secret and the wish that they be turned over to the authorities. He told the story of finding the body on the beach, as told by the boys, and later of finding the gun in the tules near the scene of the shooting. Mr. Whittington said that he found no money on the boys, but discovered a few bills amounting to about $7, pushed down into the holster of the pistol. Handy Was Onlooker Handy is said to have been a passive onlooker while Rosser did all of the work of the hold-up, including the shooting. This was corroborated by Wolfe in his testimony. Deputy Sheriff Roy Ballard, who investigated the affair from the local office, was put on the stand and told of receiving the boys and the gun from the custody of the Seal Beach marshal.

She was awarded the custody of their three minor children with $250 a month allowance on her statement that her husband's practice yielded him an income from $500 to $1000 a month. The divorce was granted by Judgé Toland. EDISON RECITAL HERE ACCLAIMED SUCCESS BY AUDIENCE The audience which last night at the High School listened to the joint recital of Miss Helen Clark and Joseph Phillips, given in comparison with the re-creation of the New Edison, was not only charmed with the work of the soloists but marveled at the perfection of the reproduction of the voices and of the piano. Miss Clark sang the opening numbers. Beside her was the New Edison. At certain places in her song she stopped singing and the New Edison went on with the song. During a part of the time the stage was darkened so it was impossible to see the motion of her lips. Persons in the audience frankly admitted that at such time it was impossible to tell when the human voice ceased and again took up the song. Mr. Phillips then sang several numbers, followed by solo selections by Mr. George. Miss Clark and Mr. Phillips also sang duets. In every instance the reproduction was so perfect that the hearers were baffled in discovering when the change was made. The reproduction of the piano was considered by many to be most remarkably perfect. Those who were privileged to listen to this unique and most enjoyable recitals heartily acclaimed if a rare musical treat and a demonstration of the New Edison which truly supported ed the contention that it is "the phonograph with a soul."

County Shrine Club to Be Santa Claus County Shrine Club to Be Santa Claus to Unhappy Children Plans for the distribution of Christmas cheer among needy families of Orange County are being started by members of the Orange County Shrine Club. More than 350 letters to various nobles of the order living in Orange County asking assistance and cooperation of all with the relief committee of the order are expected to produce widespread results. One feature of the affair will be an evening of dancing and cards at St. Ann's Inn. The proceeds from this evening of pleasure are to go to the Christmas fund. Copy of Letter A copy of the general letter sent out to nobles throughout the county, showing the methods used and nature of the work being accomplished, by the order, follows: "The cardinal virtues of our fraternity are Faith, Hope and Charity—Faith in our country, Hope in a future life beyond and Charity toward all mankind. Though our little county down by the 'Sunset Sea' is rich and prosperous, yet there are sure to be some little 'kiddies' who have never known a real Christmas, and again there may be in our midst some grown ups who are less fortunate than you and I and to them we want to extend that same Christmas cheer and a helping hand. Therefore, it behooves the Nobility in this beautiful clime where sunshine is ever present and shadow rarely falls to use our utmost endeavors to bring cheer and gladness unto the less fortunate firesides and homes. This is the first Christmas charity effort on the part of Orange County Shrine Club, so let us play the part of a big Santa Claus and cause a ray of sunshine and hope to enter their hearts and homes, and it should be a pleasure to have the opportunity to be per- mitted to assume this responsibility, for he profits most who serves best." "To provide funds for this purpose, and to give each and every one of you a deserving good time also, we have planned an entertainment, cards, dancing and other festivities, at St. Ann's Inn on Thursday evening, December 8, at 8:30 o'clock. We are enclosing four tickets, and you will please send your check for $4 to Harry L. Hanson, secretary, Santa Ana. Please do it now, that all arrangements may be perfected by the entertainment committee." "Respond Promptly" "Do not return the tickets—they will not bring Christmas cheer—but keep them for your family or sell them to your friends. (Your president, at the suggestion of many of our Nobles, inquired of Motley H. Flint, chairman of Al. Malajikah Shrine Christmas Charity, Los Angeles, if it would be agreeable for our Noblees to handle a portion of their Shrine contributions by our Shrine club and he replied, 'Certainly there could be no possible objection to such a plan and further I will be glad to co-operate with you at any and all times,' which is a true Masonic spirit, so please respond promptly as you have always done before." "Without pomp and display the sixteen Nobles comprising the relief committee of the club will extend this aid to such deserving families throughout the county as may be suggested by the Nobility. You will please consider yourself appointed a committee of one to thoroughly canvass your own neighborhood for those deserving ones whom you would like to extend the holiday cheer in this way and report to Noble R. L. Bisby, Santa Ana, who will be our Santa Claus in fact."
