BUSINESSMEN PLAN NIGHT WATCHMAN Want Protection for Stores and Offices Result of Prince Store Robbery A movement was underway today among businessmen for the employment of merchant police for protection of downtown business property as a result of the narrowly averted $5000 robbery of the Prince Store early Saturday. The businessmen believe it is wise to take this precaution in view of the crime wave in So. Calif., and in view of numerous burglaries and thefts here recently. Sidney Prince, of the Prince Store, E. J. Efker, of the Anaheim Music & Novelty Co., and J. Diehl, proprietor of the Valencia hotel, were active today in interviewing other businessmen on the proposition. It is proposed to employ a night watchman to guard stores and offices in the two blocks between Los Angeles and Clementine-sts and a block each way from Center-st. If adjoining business territory is desirous of similar protection, two watchmen will be employed. PUBLIC MKT. BUILDING ON W. CENTER Miss Elsie Rust Oblains Permit for 40x140 Structure at Center and Clementine Anaheim will have a public market, patterned along the same lines as similar successful institutions in Los Angeles, it was known today with the issuing by the city building department of a permit to A. Pinel, contractor, for Miss Elsie Rust, for a $10,000 building at the southeast corner of Clementine and Center-sts. The building will cover the entire lot, 40 feet fronting on Center-st and 140 feet facing Clementine-st. Construction will be of brick and tile of sufficient strength to support a second story later if desired. Considerable amount of 12 and 15-inch steel beams will be used. There will be three wide doorways at the front thru which wagons may drive in with produce while the entire Clementine-st side will be enclosed with wire netting.

If adjoining business territory is desirous of similar protection, two watchmen will be employed. The watchman each night will make continual rounds of doors, both on the street and in the alleys, according to the plan of the businessmen. The Prince Store today installed a burglar alarm system. Jose Murietta is being held at the county jail while further efforts are being made to get a line on the two men with him who escaped when Fred Anderson, superintendent of the California theatre, suddenly opened the alley door of the theatre at 4 a.m. Saturday, frightening them away as they were in the act of carrying arms of dress goods to Murietta's waiting auto on Clementine-st. Before being removed to the county jail, Murietta was taken to his home at Stanton where officers report they found more of the narcotic, marijuana, and a quantity of silk goods it is believed had been stolen. While this contraband narcotic found in Murietta's auto was in powdered form, that at the house was in liquid form. The silks found in Murietta's house appeared to have been ripped from dresses as if in an effort to disguise their origin. Murietta may be tried both for burglary and for having marrihuana in his possession.

WOMEN FAVORED FOR BURCH JURY LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22. — With the defense attorneys seeking a woman jury because of the psychological aspects of the case, principally the element of motherly sympathy for a wayward boy, the trial of Arthur C. Burch, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, was started today in Superior Judge Reeve's court. Paul W. Schenck, chief of defense counsel, manifested his desire for as many women as possible on the jury to try lurch soon after the examination of prospective jurors was begun. It was evident that Schenck preferred middle-aged women of the motherly household type. The defense aim to have a majority of women on the jury seemed likely to be fulfilled. Of the 63 prospective jurors summoned to the court room for the trial, 44 were women. Only five were unmarried. Sex psychology, the belief that women of the motherly type have a deep understanding of young men, particularly those who have wandered from the straight and narrow path," as Burch did enven before his alleged murder of Kennedy, caused Schenck and his associates, Richard Kittrelle and J. J. Sullivan to decide that a woman jury would be advantageous to Burch. One point especially was in their minds and that was Burch's position, as claimed by the prosecution, being the victim of Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, indicted with him in the slaying.

IRISH CITY STREETS SWEPT BY BULLETS BELFAST, Nov. 22.—A virtual reign of terror gripped Belfast today as the Ulster government assumed the powers of home rule.

The situation is rapidly growing worse with increased general firing in all sections. It was practically impossible to obtain details of the disturbances or a list of the casualties.

Ebert, Bluebeard's Glance Terrifies Witness VERSAILLES, France, Nov. 22—Terrified by a ferocious glance from "Bluebeard" Landru, Mile Fernande Seglet fell fainting in the witness box at his trial today on a charge of murdering 10 of his 285 sweet-hearts.

ROBBERS TAKE LETTERS FROM BOX Investigation was under way today by the postoffice department, the sheriff's office and police, of the robbery of a lock box of the So. Calif. Edison Company at Santa Ana. According to E. R. Drysdale, assistant manager of the Edison company, the box was broken into and the mail removed. O./H. Umbrham was the last employee of the electric company to visit the postoffice, and it is thought that the lock may have failed to catch when he shut the box after removing the mail. When Drysdale went to the post-office he found the box open and the boy's father, "Red Matthews," Anaheim boxer, Dr. J. W. Truax, Anaheim city health officer, and the aged defendant. Ebert testified to the age of the slain boy. Matthews repeated the details of the shooting, relating that he and young Ebert were not aware anyone else was in the patch until the shot was fired; then Matthews flew, jumped into his auto, proceeded to Richfield, turned around, came back, was hailed by Wetzel who announced he had shot someone; the two brot Ebert out of the patch. Dr. Truxaw detailed the nature of Ebert's wounds. The defendant testified that the discharge of the gun was an accident; that it went off as he came over an embankment. He also denied a statement credited to one of his sons that he had previously asserted he would shoot marauders of his melon patch. 3 CORERCT GUESSES ON 42-POUND CAKE A. L.
