TWO MEN, FOUR SUIT CASES WANTED BURGLARS MAKE AWAY WITH QUANTITY OF GOODS FROM S. Q. R. STORE EXPERTS AT BUSINESS, MUST HAVE BEEN ACQUAINTED WITH PREMISES Two men carrying four suitcases were objects of a close search on Friday by Marshal Kellenberger and his force of police officials. These men broke into the S. Q. R. Store at an early hour Friday morning and made off with a quantity of merchandise estimated at a value of $250. Entrance was effected by cutting out a pane of glass in one of the rear doors. The men climbed over two fences and finding themselves in the rear yard of the store, cut out a lower pane of glass from the door. Their progress was stayed by the presence of several bars reaching across the door. A pane in the upper part of the door was then taken out and through this aperture one of the men entered. That the burglar was well acquainted with the premises is regarded as a certainty, for he lost little time in locating articles which he desired to take with him. Among the articles stolen were four suitcases, four suits of clothes, four dozen socks, half dozen leather belts, one dozen arm bands and ties, three pairs of shoes, two hats, two pair cor- in testing the scout requirements for signalling. A scout would take this flash light about 100 yards from the house and signal a message to be taken down by the other scouts. The Morse code was used, a long flash indicating the dash and the dot being shown by a short flash. Elwood S. Brown, who is acting scout commissioner in Manilla, Philippine Islands, reports that though there are a comparatively small number of boys who have taken up the scout work under his direction, they are making very rapid strides. A considerable proportion of his boys have become first class scouts. Not content to stop there, all are hard at work qualifying for merit badges awarded by the court of honor of the national council in New York City for special proficiency along varied lines. Already 24 of these badges have been granted to scouts in the Philippine Islands in the following branches of scout-craft: Athletics, camp-craft, cooking, cycling, first aid, interpreting, life saving, path finding, personal health, public health, signalling and swimming. Two or three of Mr. Brown's scouts have nearly finished the requirements for the Life and Star scout badges which are given to those who have earned five and ten merit badges respectively. MULE-FOOT HOG MAN GOES EAST Yancey Is Arrested on a Charge of Embezzling $1,500 in Pennsylvania Less than two hours after he had been arrested on a governor's warrant predicated upon a complaint sworn to by J. W. Bell charging him with the embezzlement of $1,500, James C. Yancey, oil promoter and proprietor of the famous "mule-foot hog ranch" near Santa Ana, was placed aboard an east-bound limited train in Los Angeles stayed by the presence of several bars reaching across the door. A pane in the upper part of the door was then taken out and through this aperture one of the men entered. That the burglar was well acquainted with the misises is regarded as a certainty, for he lost little time in locating articles which he desired to take with him. Among the articles stolen were four suitcases, four suits of clothes, four dozen socks, half dozen leather belts, one dozen arm bands and ties, three pairs of shoes, two hats, two pair corduroy pants, two dozen silk handkerchiefs, ten pair gloves, six shirts, two sweater coats, one dozen union suits and other articles of wearing apparel. These articles were passed through the aperture in the door to the man outside, who stood upon a step ladder. After making the haul, the burglar was helped through the aperture, when both made their escape. The key in the lock had been taken away, and the burglar was thus unable to open the door. The loss was discovered on Friday morning by Oscar Renner, one of the proprietors, who entered the store shortly after 7 o'clock. Marshal Kellenberger was notified and a description of the articles sten mailed to officers throughout Southern California. Kellenberger is of opinion the burglary was committed about 3 o'clock Friday morning, when Officers Morgan and Iman, who were on duty that night, were called to a Mexican settlement near the sugar factory to run down a robbery charge. Two Mexicans carrying suitcases, boarded the early train at Fullerton Friday morning. Marshal Kellenberger immediately dispatched an officer to Los Angeles in quest of them. They were located, but an examination of their suitcases showed they were not the men wanted. BOY SCOUTS IN THE ISLANDS They Win Badges For Special Profficiency in Scoutcraft James E. West, Chief Scout Executive, has received many interesting reports of the development of the Boy Scouts of America organizations in the Island areas under the American flag. In a recent letter, J. A. Wilder, scout commissioner in Honolulu, Hawaii, writes: "For the first time in this generation a Hawaiian boy, a scout, has made fire without matches, using only Hawaiian materials from the native wilderness." The scouts under Wilder's jurisdiction have just completed their annual hike of 40 miles, the expenses of which were paid from the proceeds of an exhibition and demonstration of scout craft. Three cases of MULE-FOOT HOG MAN GOES EAST Yancey Is Arrested on a Charge of Embezzling $1,500 in Pennsylvania Less than two hours after he had been arrested on a governor's warrant predicated upon a complaint sworn to by J. W. Bell charging him with the embezzlement of $1,500, James C. Yancey, oil promoter and proprietor of the famous "mule-foot hog ranch" near Santa Ana; was placed aboard an eastbound limited train in Los Angeles some days ago en route to Pittsburg, the scene of his alleged offense. Bell claimed he gave Yancey the money for a land investment that did not materialize. Yancey was arrested on Broadway by Detectives Boyd and Jones for Geo. H. Waggoner, a Pennsylvanian agent. He came to Los Angeles armed with requisition papers signed by Governor West of the Keystone State and Acting Governor Wallace at Sacramento. Waggoner so timed his movements that Yancey did not have an opportunity to engage counsel or otherwise lay plans to fight extradition by habeas corpus proceedings. Yancey protested loudly against going, declaring that he was being kidnapped. Waggoner brushed aside his protestations by exhibiting the executive papers. They gave him jurisdiction to act as he saw fit, he claimed, as soon as Yancey had been take into custody. About a year ago Yancey broke into the limelight with the announcement that he had for sale a species of hogs with mule hoofs. It was widely advertised that these hogs were immune from hog cholera and other diseases deleterious to porkers. In addition to this venture he has been promoting oil companies. His interests are said to be confined largely to the Kern county fields. At the time of his arrest he was at the head of two companies with an aggregated capitalization of $15,000,000. One is the Petroleum Producing Company, capitalized for $5,000,000, and the other is the Reduction & Refining Company, with a capitalization of twice that amount. Several months ago Yancey was declared to be in contempt of the Federal district court, sitting in San Francisco, and was taken into custody for not appearing before Judge Van Wyck in the bay city, as ordered. W. G. Van Flyke, A. B. Mamme, H. D. Wells and other oil promoters joined with Yancey in suing settlers for the recovery of about $3,000,000 worth of Kern county oil lands with drawn from entry. Yancey and the others alleged in their complaint that the settlers were menacing government The candidacy of Winn for supervisor of this district on the platform of good square deal for every taxery community in the stand is a fair deal for most for everyone that gets. Bill Schumacher has large money and forces he was 17 years of age from an orphans' home to big Slauson ranch at Floyd years later he was buying that came on to that rank everything that went frightened banker and invested his employer entrusted everything in connection ranch, and he found that money in his pocket to boy was keen and on time. People of the committee with the ranch came to confidence in and admire boy as did Slauson, for that although he saw to ployer got every cent thing, he also saw to it that whom he dealt received treatment. From the Slauson ranch visual efforts, Bill Schumacher years later took the same integrity. It is a part of separable as hands or feet bors in the Buena Park it and so does everybody business acquaintance with They know that if he is visor that there are good favors to any of his disfavor will get an absolutely squirt that every dollar he has bring back an honest dollar work. This reputation and the Schumacher's appearance and carries conviction of Scouts of America organizations in the Island areas under the American flag. In a recent letter, J. A. Wilder, scout commissioner in Honolulu, Hawaii, writes: "For the first time in this generation a Hawaiian boy, a scout, has made fire without matches, using only Hawaiian materials from the native wilderness." The scouts under Wilder's jurisdiction have just completed their annual hike of 40 miles, the expenses of which were paid from the proceeds of an exhibition and demonstration of scout-craft. Three cases of urgent first aid were accomplished by boys on this trip. The court of honor of the local council is about to recommend one scout, Eddie Apau, for an honor medal for bravery. New boys are fast being enrolled, and four additional scout masters have applied for commissions. There are many friends of the scout movement in Hawaii and pledges of $250.00 per year for the Hawaiian area have been promised to the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. H. E. Shaffer, Special Field Scout Commissioner for Porto Rico, who has a troop of boy scouts in San Juan, writes that he helped the boys to do stalking when on a three days' camp recently. "A boy was placed on guard on each side of the encampment, and another boy was sent out with instructions to return if possible without being seen by those on watch. Scout Dermejo proved a splendid example of scout resourcefulness in his successful attempt to accomplish this feat. Observation during the day had shown him a house about a quarter of a mile away to which he went, secured a woman's dress and shawl and returned to the encampment dressed in this garb, and entered without being recognized. Many other attempts were made, all resulting in failure." Scout Master Shaffer had a flash light device with him which was used several months ago Yancey was declared to be in contempt of the Federal district court, sitting in San Francisco, and was taken into custody for not appearing before Judge Van Wyck in the bay city, as ordered. W. G. Van Flyke, A. B. Mamme, H. D. Wells and other oil promoters joined with Yancey in suing settlers for the recovery of about $3,000,000 worth of Kern county oil lands withdrawn from entry. Yancey and the others alleged in their complaint that the settlers were menacing government rights. The contempt proceedings against Yancey were an out-growth of these actions. The original cases are still pending. KATE MEASOR TO BE TRIED Court Holds Her to Answer on Charge of Assault With Deadly Weapon After taking testimony Monday morning, Justice Cox of Santa Ana, held Kate Measor to answer for trial in the superior court on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The prosecution showed that when Merrill Ramsey and Henry Gastelum and others went to Mrs. Measor's home at Delhi with the expectation of securing evidence against her on which to establish a charge of selling liquor, Ramsey and Gastelum were met at the door by the woman, who drew a revolver and fired two shots. Gastelum declared one of the bullets passed between his legs as he ran. Mr. Townsend and his wife, who were driving by the place in a buggy, testified that they saw the woman fire the shots, they thought into the ground. Mrs. Measor is out of jail on $1,500 bond.

Schumacher for supervisor of this district is based on the platform of good roads and a square deal for every taxpayer and every community in the district. His stand is a fair deal for all and the most for everyone that the money will get. Bill Schumacher has been handling large money and forces of men since he was 17 years of age. At 14 he went from an orphans' home to work on the big Slauson ranch at Florence. Three years later he was buying everything that came on to that ranch and selling everything that went from it. The shrewd banker and investor who was his employer entrusted this boy with everything in connection with the ranch, and he found that it was good money in his pocket to do so, for the boy was keen and on the job all the time. People of the community dealing with the ranch came to have as much confidence in and admiration for the boy as did Slauson, for they found that although he saw to it that his employer got every cent that was coming, he also saw to it that those with whom he dealt received exactly as fair treatment. From the Slauson ranch to his individual efforts, Bill Schumacher several years later took the same fairness and integrity. It is a part of him, as inseparable as hands or feet. His neighbors in the Buena Park precinct know it and so does everybody else with business acquaintance with the man. They know that if he is elected supervisor that there are going to be no favors to any of his district; that all will get an absolutely square deal and that every dollar he has to spend will bring back an honest dollar's worth of work. This reputation and the fact that Schumacher's appearance bears it out and carries conviction of honesty and life, and he has never failed in anything he attempted, because he has always gone into everything in earnest, honestly, open and above board and fairly. In office he will be found to have no secrets and to be party to none, while his car will always be open to the needs and advice of his constituents, who from top to bottom can bank on it that there will always be a respectful hearing awaiting and a helping hand ready, for that is Bill Schumacher's history. Three months after his election he will know more about proper scientific road building and the needs of his district than any other man it has ever had, and then he will be found right on the job giving to his district the benefit of the best there is in him. Possessing a fortune won by his own industry and able to give to the office of supervisor the time and work it should have, he makes an ideal candidate. The public seldom gets as good a chance to pick up such a servant. BIGAMIST GOES TO PRISON Wm. Rawlins Wrote Poetry and Incidentally Had Too Many Wives William Rawlins, a writer of verse and a bigamist, was on Monday in the superior court sentenced to nine years and five months in San Quentin. Judge West gave him credit for seven months, the length of time he has been in jail, reducing the sentence seven months from the limit of years in jail. Since the law requires that a fine also be given in a bigamy conviction, the judge fixed the fine at $1. Rawlins, aged 57, a man who has been prominent in his time and who is well read and well educated, stood up while Judge West reviewed the case. Rawlins married his first wife in 1880, and she became the mother of seven children. Rawlins deserted her a few years ago, came to California, and a year ago he married Miss Zelma Dickson, who thought Rawlins was a wealthy mining man. Both wives testified against Rawlins. Judge West stated that the first wife went to him and pleaded for him to let Rawlins go without sentence. Judge West told Rawlins that he thinks the law limiting the sentence to ten years in prison is not severe enough. In these modern and civilized times, we Americans have outgrown the practice of the parents training the children and instead have adopted the This reputation and the fact that Schumacher's appearance bears it out and carries conviction of honesty and fairness, accounts for the phenomenal success that has attended his campaign and that has made enthusiasm for him in every part of the third district, with the result that his election on November 5 is now conceded. It is merely a matter of counting the majority. With his election a young man will be placed on the Board of Supervisors from the third district who will have nothing put over on him by his associates. He will demand and get all that is coming to his district. He will not be put off, cajoled, or traded through political deals into leaving up for a minute on getting all that belongs to his constituents. That has been his way of doing things all his Both wives testified against Rawlins. Judge West stated that the first wife went to him and pleaded for him to let Rawlins go without sentence. Judge West told Rawlins that he thinks the law limiting the sentence to ten years in prison is not severe enough. In these modern and civilized times, we Americans have outgrown the practice of the parents training the children and instead, have adopted the new method of having the children train the parents.
