LONG BEACH, Dec. 7.—The per- petrators of as audacious a series of burglaries as were ever committed have at last been run to earth here. The burglaries extended over a period of several months, during which a score or more of houses were stripped of nearly everything they contained. Surprising as were the burglaries there was a greater surprise when it became known to-day that they had all been committed by C. H. Schmidt, a well-known and prosperous con- ractor and builder, assisted by his two sons, Roy, aged 19, and Ray, aged 13. Practically all the plunder stolen by the trio has been recovered. It had been boxed and crated and it rooms in the fine residence which Schmidt owns. The very audacity of the last job done by the burglars led to their un- coing, although it spoiled a wedding. Harvey Smith, an employe of the Pa- cific Electric Railway, was to have | been married in Los Angeles to-night and he built a home on Sixteenth street. For weeks he and his intended bride had been purchasing furniture for their home and they had bought the best. The house was completely furnished with everything new. Even their clothes had been stored there been placed in the house. Tuesday | night Smith took the clothing in which |he was to have been married to the | house, intending to dress there this evening, then proced to Los Angeles and return with his bride. This morning Wwhen he visited the place he found the house stripped of everything movable. Pictures had been taken from the walls, carpets from the clothing from the closets and dressers, lounges and chairs re- moved. In fact, practically every arti- cle which could be moved was missing. Even the piano had been turned on edge, the legs removed and the instru- ment moved to the front porch. in the vard showed a \:gnn hld stood, and these tracks led across vacant lots, lea.flng a trail that & blind man might. have followed. ‘When the dolice urrlvgd they followed home of Contractor Schmidt.

SAN 7—R. O Caruthers was Kkilled this morning | while at work on a bridge over the | Mill Creek zanja, a current of 3,000 velts from one of the Edison Com- voltage wires passing through his body. Caruthers was a bridgeman in the employ of the South- ern Pacific Company. With a crowbar | in one hand and a steel wrench in the | other he started to walk along one of the stringers. He lost his balance and threw up his hands to recover himself when one of the tools came in contact with a live wire. Caruthers fell dead ' on the bridge, but the contact with the wire was not broken and a grel\! ball of fire was seen to issue from his body. Two of his fellow employes, fearing the body was about to fall in the water from the bridge, hastened to save it and were in turn severely shacked. . Caruthers was 22 years old and leav: a mother who resides at Willows, this State. The wire which caused his death is one of those carrying power from the Mill Creek power-house to the city of Los Angeles and was of exception- ally high voltage. S s — o stolen furniture. Proceeds of practically every burglary which has been commit- ted here for months were found. The entire family was arrested, but when Schmidt and his sons confessed and told the officers that the wife and mother had pleaded with them to quit stealing, Mrs. Schmidt was released. Schmidt's daughter is dying of ty- phold fever and begged the officers to pgrm her brothers and father to re- ‘hie. re 0 bu ud placed in jail. | CON. VIRGINIA VINE ROBBED Rich Ore Stn]en by Trusted Employes Is Shipped to the Selby Smelting Works e P el Special Dispatch to The Call. RENO, " Nev., Dec, 7.—For the past four months a number of men have| been systematically robbing the Con-| solidated Virginia mine in Virginia City of its richest ore and have been ship- ping it to the Selby Smelting and Lead | Works, near San Francisco. It is esti- mated that more than $10,000 worth of | the richest ore in the mine was stolen and turned into gold at Selby's. | The theft was discovered by an em- ploye of Selby's. who recognized the last consignment of ore as coming from the Ceonsolidated Virginia mine when | AL N it was supposed to have come from an- | other mine in Nevada. He immediately | reported the matter to Superlmendem. McKinty of the Consolidated Virginia mine, who visited Selby’s for the pur- pose of investigating the affair. McKinty returned last week and im- mediately discharged four of the most trusted men in the mine. Arrests may i follow when an investigation now be- | ing made is concluded. | The manner of stealing the ore was very easy. The ore is sent from the shaft to the dumps, where it is sorted and the poor ore is thrown over the dumps.. Instead of throwing away. the | poor ore, however, the richest quartz was thrown cver the dumps. This would be gathered up by accomplices at night and shipped to Reno in wag- ons, where {t would be loaded on cars and sent to Selby's. ———— ‘Woman Must Hang for Murder.

Chadwick was placed to-night in her apart- ments in the Hotel Breslin, charged with aiding and abetting a bank of- ficer in embezzling $12,500. The ar- rest was made after a lengthy con- | ference between United States Com- missioner Shields, Assistant United States District Attorney E. E. Bald- win, Secret Service Agent Fiynn and United States Marshal Willlam Henkel. Commissioner Shields issued the warrant, which charges a violation of section 3029 of the United States Federal laws relating to conspiracy. There was a scene in the woman's room when the officials announced to Mrs. Chadwick that she was under ar- rest. Her son sprang to his mother’'s sifle, as she burst into tears, but the youth uttered no word. Marshal Henkel, who, with his depu- ties and United States Secret Service Agent Wilham J. Flynn grouped in the door of Mrs. Chadwick’s apartment, had enmtered without knocking, found her in bed. He said: “Madam, I have an unpleasant duty to perform. I am obliged to serve a warrant for your arrest, issued by United States Commissioner Shields, at the instance of the Federal authorities of Ohio.” 3 “I am very nervous and i1, replied Mrs. Chadwick. “What shall I do? 1 certainly am unable to up.” “In that case,” said Marshal, “T F s ana b eme o T Continued on Page 2, Column 1.
