KILLS SELF IN HEAT OF ANGER HYPNOTIST COMMITS SUICIDE AFTER FAMILY QUARREL FINDS WIFE'S ROOM LOCKED AND. S^ FIRES FATAL SHOT ,'\u25a0 ' Little Son Pleads In Vain with Father '.'y >' / to Wake Up and Love '. x ; Him Once More y :\u25a0..>'. \u25a0 -. >-»-«• *: -* Enraged because of his failure to force an entrance to the room occupied by his wife, whom he intended to kill. Prof. Wiliam Rosskopt, 35 years old, a hypnotist, placed the muzzle of an automatic pistol against his breast and sent a bullet through his heart at his home at 849 West Fifty-seventh street .shortly before 11 o'clock yesterday morning. ,- ' Rosskopt and his wife quarreled fre- quently recently, say tho officers who investigated the matter, and a week ago, following a violent altercation, he fired a shot at her while they were in their bedroom. . The bullet whizzed near her head and buried itself in the wall. At 6 o'clock Saturday night Rosskopt, his wife, their 6-year-old son and a young man who was employed by Rosskopt began the evening meal. .While at the table Roskopt and his wife began to quarrel, presumably about a mortgage which they had given on their home. When the meal was finished the couple continued their dispute, and did not cease their bicker- ing until midnight. Angered at Wife - /. y Rosskopt was so angered at his wife that he refused to stay in the' same room with her, and after getting his pistol and a pillow entered another room and went to bed with his young son. ::'?-';-! Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning Rosskopt arose and dressed, not awaking the child. He then went to the room occupied by his wife and attempted to enter. The door was locked and he was unable to get in. . He then returned to his room and pro- cured his pistol. With the weapon in his hand he again went to the door of his wife's room and demanded ad- mittance. Mrs. Rosskopt refused to open the door and * told him to go away and allow her to sleep. Rosskopt -then threw his weight against the door and attempted to force it open. After making several futile attempts he called to his wife and told * her that if she did not open the door by the time he counted three she would be sorry for it the rest of her life. 7By this time the young man, who acted as a subject for Rosskopt during the entertainments given by the latter, entered the room where Rosskopt was standing. Rosskopt had just counted three, and before the young fellow could interfere placed the pistol to his breast and fired. Little Son Awakened The report of the pistol awoke the son of the dying man, and the little fellow rushed into the room and pleaded with his father to get up and love him. Mrs. Rosskopt then knew that something was wrong, and she unlocked her door and hurried to the side of her husband. , Just as she reached his side he gave a gasp and died. - '\u25a0 ' \u25a0\u25a0 " Mrs. Rosskopt notified the University police station, and Patrolmen Shreiner and Johnson were detailed to make an investigation. The officers learned that Rosskopt, who earned his living by giving hypnotic entertainments in the .various towns in Southern California, was of a peculiar temperament and ' frequently quarreled with his wife without cause. - >"' - "\u25a0 Mrs. Rosskopt told, the policemen that her husband had returned from Santa Barbara several weeks ago and had been worried because of financial troubles. She said that he started a violent quarrel a week ago and, while enraged at her, seized his automatic pistol and fired at her. She crouched v down just as he pulled the trigger and the bullet crashed into the wall near her. <»;_ The body of Rosskopt was removed to the undertaking establishment of Bresee Bros., and the coroner probably will sign a certificate of suicide with- out holding an inquest.

BARNARD DIES AT HOME IN ELLENDALE PLACE For Years He Was General Manager Kof the Southwestern System of Chicago, Burlington and Quincy J. F. Barnard, one of the most prom- inent men in the east and for many- years at the head of large railroad In- terests, died yesterday at his home, 2711 Kllendale place. \u25a0 Mr. Barnard, who was 81 years old, was a graduate of the Rensselaer Poly- technic Institute at Troy, N. V., oVie of the best known engineering schools in the United States, receiving his di- ploma with the class of 1851. For many years he was the general manager of the southwestern system of the Bur- lington railroad, with headquarters in St. Joseph, Mo., and in 18S6 became president of the Ohio & Mississippi rail- road, with his headquarters in Cin- cinnati. . ' Mr. Barnard continued the president of this railroad until 1893, when he be- came receiver for the Omaha &. St. Louis - interests before that , railroad was reorganized.- After this :he be- came president and part owner of the Alton Bridge company of Alton, 111., which position he filled until coming to . Los Angeles five , years ago, . when he retired from active business. Besides his wife, Mr. Barnard leaves four daughters and four sons, Miss Barnard, who resides at the family home; Mrs. A. G.

Hisgen Throws Down Defi to Rockefeller Inter. ests—New York Is ; , . Amazed AT EW YORK, Feb. , The an- \ . nounced intention of Thomas L,. -^-" Hisgen, president of the Indepen- dent? Petroleum Marketers' association of the United States, foe of the Stand- ard Oil company, to compete! for the wholesale I oil and gasoline trade of Greater New York is notable for its boldness. . \u25a0 .' " ' New York is the nerve center of the great Rockefeller corporation. Some of its biggest refineries are situated near this city, its main offices are housed In its own building at 26 Broad- way, and many of its leaders have their residences in and near New York. The active head, of the big corporation is now John D. Archbold. The presidency of John D. Rockefeller is considered merely . nominal, as he visits the company's offices only about once a year. \u25a0 . N - Speaking of the new move, Mr. His- gen said: "While our policy may seem like pure aggrandizement, it Is really purely one of self-preservation, the first law of man. The minute we stand still, so to speak, * Mr. Rockefellers cohorts proceed to hem us in, and only by branching out into new territory are we saved from being mowed down."-. The Standard Oil people declare that the existence of Mr. Hisgen and ffis associates as active competitors of the "octopus" Is in itself refutaton of the charge that the Rockefeller company has a monopoly of the oil business? > ANCIENT BURIED CITY FOUND IN TRANSVAAL JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 6.--Much In- terest has been aroused throughout South Africa by the reported discov- ery of a buried city near.the Vaal, in the Western Transvaal. It appears that, as" a farmer was digging a grave, ho came upon a large slab, which, on being exhumed, proved to be of a kind of marble I unknown in tho neighbor- hood. It was beautifully worked, evi- dently by highly skilled hands. Fur- ther excavations disclosed ' another similar slab. - Subsequently a trench was driven from the spot, which led to the dis- covery of an ancient wall of massive masonry. A Johannesburg syndicate has been formed "which will direct systematic excavations. Near the spot are several mounds and ridges. The slabs discovered are said to resemble ancient Grecian work and with other remains appeal to belong, to an entirely different civilization from that re- sponsible for the Rhodeslan ruins. 2900 BLOWS CAUSE PRISONER'S COLLAPSE SHANGHAI, Feb. The consular body held a meeting some days since and decided to depute tho British, German and American mixed mint assessors to proceed to the Shang- hai city magistrate's yamen and demand to be allowed to examine a prisoner there who was kidnaped by the magistrate's' runners in the foreign settlement on August 23 In connection with an unimportant. land \u25a0 dispute. He* was recently condemned to receive 4000 blows with a bamboo as punishment tor Invoking the in- tervention . of; the municipal authorities. . The relatives •of \u25a0 the ~ victim assert that he col- lapsed after the Infliction of 2900 blows, when he was horribly Injured and his, thighbones were exposed.: The senior consul, in the name -of his col- leagues, . wrote demanding the immediate re- lease of the prisoner, who was not amenable to Chinese justice unless for a serious crime proved to the satisfaction of the mixed court. It Is noteworthy that, although punishment by the bamboo was solemnly abolished as barbar- ous by Imperial edicts of April and October, 1906, the taotal sees nothing unusual in th© magistrate's action. . .",.-/ I -.-.' Finally the assessors is .v the magistrate, who declined to produce the prisoner in the absence of orders from the taotal. IThe as- sessors announced their Intention not to leave the yam- \u25a0• without seeing him. "' After re- maining for' seven hours the assessors I saw the prisoner and verified the brutal treatment which had been Illegally Inflicted.*, The"taotal, evidently Impressed by the energy ana firm- ness of the consular body, | ordered the pris- oner ': to be released on security, which. was jHMin'jttfIHRMMHBHHHfc JOY RIDE ENDED BY THE POLICE WOMEN ARE STARTLED WHEN ARREST IS MADE J. E. ADLER ACCUSED OF PASS. ING BOGUS CHECKS Man in Jail Refuses to Tell Where -y; He Came From or Where He Lived While in Los Angeles ! An automobile joy ride was termin- ated suddenly in South Broadway late Saturday afternoon when, to the sur- prise and Indignation of three pretty girls, their escort, who gave the name of J. E. Adler, was placed under, ar- rest by Detectives Jones, Boyd and Hitch and booked at police headquar- ters under suspicion. ( The girls were dumfounded. and at a loss to account for the interruption as Adler was taken from the auto. Adler also, was loud in his indignation and termed the arrest an . outrage. Adler's arrest was kept a secret until last night, that the detectives might have opportunity to look up his record, and they assert that the prisoner will have to face a charge of passing ficti- tious checks. - y i \u25a0 \u25a0--- According to the police, Adler, who is 30 years old, well dressed and of de- bonair appearance, arrived in Los An- geles a week ago. Shortly after his arrival he deposited $25 with the South- ern Trust company. He then visited numerous jewelry and clothing stores, and made small purchases, for which he gave checks. At each place he in- spected goods and remarked that he was soon to be married and would make mure extensive purchases. The checks ranged in amount from $2 to %5, and were honored by the Southern Trust company. In the mean- time Adler was creat-.ig a furore among the gentler sex by his fluent talk and polished manners, and he entertained lavishly with automobile rides and din- ner parties. Wednesday Adler went.to the jewel- ry Arm of Luekenbach & Co., 141 South Spring street, and selected a $250 dia- mond ring, and tendered a check for payment. The firm refused to accept the check until they investigated, al- though Adler's check for a small pur- chase in the store had been honored a few days before. With the remark that "if a gentleman's honor was ques- tioned he would trade elsewhere," Ad- ler left. He then visited the wholesale jewelry firm of Bastheim, Adams & Abel, 701 Broadway Central building, and went | through the same transac- tion. This firm also refused to accept a check.' .At the clothing store of Braver & Krohn, Fifth an". Spring streets, Adler had better success, purchasing a $50 suit of clothes and his check was ac- cepted. ylt is alleged, the check' was valueless. ' , Tl.j actions of Adler were reported at police headquarters and a description of the man given, which resulted in Ills arrest. The prisoner will not \u25a0peak, only to assert that he is a vic- tim of. circumstances. He would not state where he came from or where he roomed while in Los Angeles. - *. . *.

JEWS SETTLE IN PALESTINE LANDS ZIdNISTS PURCHASE LARGE TRACTS IN JORDAN JERUSALEM FAST ~ BECOMING l ;-;'.'\u25a0'-.;CITY OF HEBREWS Constitution of Turkey Induces Many of the Israelitish Faith to I <f»i Seek Homes in the •' Holy Land JERUSALEM, Feb. The procla- mation of the constitution in Turkey has opened tho doors of Palestine to the incoming of Jews from all parts of the world. In Jerusalem alone four- fifths of the population (100,000) now belong to the Jewish faith, while at Jaffa, Tiberias, Safed and Haifa (Mount Carmel) Jews are reckoned by tens of . thousands. - Almost the whole of the extensive plain of Esdraelon has been bought by them. Their prosperous colonies spread from Dan to Beersheba, and even far- ther south to the outskirts of Egypt. Thousands are escaping from Persia to find shelter and protection In the Holy Land, while every ship, from Odessa carries hundreds of them. The Jordan valley, once the property of : ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid, Is being eagerly sought after by Jewish capi- talists and syndicates. The Zionists, whose I agents are distributed all over the land, are buying up the rich prop- erties of the ' Mohammedan effendis, whose incomes since the revolution have considerably lessened. . Monopolize Everything The whole city is essentially a Jew- ish town. -Banking, as well as trade and commerce, is monopolized by- Jews. The government has found it necessary to organize a \u25a0 company of Jewish, gendarmes. Hundreds of thou- sands of dollars are annually sent from Europe and America to enable the colonists to build homes, hospitals, schools and invalid homes. Over one hundred Jewish schools already exist in Jerusalem alone. Synagogues are rising up everywhere. The value of land has risen fourfold. The ignorant and poverty stricken peasants are being ousted from their homes and villages .by the sharp Eu- ropean Jew settler, whose modern agricultural implements and .methods have made the land produce never before dreamed of by the na- tives. The Anglo-Palestine company, a Zionist banking and commercial en- terprise, is pushing the cause of Israel with splendid determination. The racial exclusiveness of the Jews and their clannish proclivities are arousing the | opposition of Otto- mans. ~ The Turkish constitutional regime has in this question one of the greatest .problems . that ever faced a new and patriotic government. TIGER IN FRENCH FOREST IS SLAIN BY JEWELER PARIS, Feb. 6.—M. Bertler, a Paris jeweler, enjoys the distinction of hav- ing shot a tiger in a French forest and " thereby ending \u25a0a \u25a0. three weeks' hunt in which several hundred sports- men \u25a0 participated. . Reports that a tiger was at large in the forest at Moulins have been cur- rent for many weeks, and fantastic stories have been related 'by terror stricken villagers, who claimed to have encountered the animal while walking through the forest. ,'i'"''"',:', . The .reports were generally discred- ited, however, until live stock began to disappear from, several farms. Then shooting. parties were organized to hunt the tiger. , ' ; •-• iV . -. A telegram from Rhelms states that M.» Bertler; was the lucky person/ The tiger measured about 5 feet In length. It is supposed to have escaped from a meiifegerle. y " r MURDER DONE ON ROAD NEAR PICO WM. MOSS SHOT TO DEATH NEAR RANCH HOME BODY \ FOUND IN HIGHWAY BY PASSING FARMER Spree at Roadhouse Has Fatal End- ing— Mystery Still Sur- rounds Facts in the Case Lying in a pool of blood In the road near Old Mission, about three miles from Pico station, near Whittier, the body of Walter Moss, 35 years old, a rancher living at Pico station, was found early yesterday morning. A short distance away was found the horse and also the cart belonging to John Taylor. Moss was the son of early settlers In Southern California. At one time he was possessed of considerable wealth, but as the result of dissipation and ill-advised investments, his for- tune was swept away. Recently he had been drinking heavily. Saturday afternoon he told his wife that he was going over to what is known as Old Mission, near the old Temple homestead. There are several roadhouses in that neighborhood. These places are headquarters for a rough element, according to the officers who are familiar with the district.' Moss hitched his horse and cart, kissed his wife goodby and told her he would return early. That was the last time she saw him alive. He went to the roadhouse and be- gan drinking heavily. He was known to be quarrelsome when in his cups, and it is said that he had altercations with several persons. Ho was seen to enter his cart and drive away shortly after 9 o'clock Sat- urday night. It is not known whether or not he had a companion with him, and nothing more was seen of him until a belated rancher stumbled over the body in the road early yesterday morning. . >\u25a0. I The officers, were notified imme- diately and a search was made for the. horse and cart, which at first could not be located. After a further inves- tigation the horse, drawing the cart about in an aimless manner, was found near the scene of the murder and the home of the dead man. •/.-\u25a0-. Tho body of Moss was taken to the undertaking establishment of E. H. White at Whittier where the coroner will hold an inquest. L. Manriques, a rancher living near Whittier, was brought to the county jail last night by Deputy Sheriff Mar- tin Agulrre, and will be held as a wit- ness pending the Investigation of the murder of William Moss. Although Deputy Agulrre stated that Manriques was held simply as' a wit- ness, it was admitted that there are discrepancies in the stories He has told. After being brought to the county jail the witness refused to discuss the case. According to Deputy Sheriffs Aguirre and Oliver, who worked? all day yester- day on the murder mystery, the motive has not been found. It is known that Moss and a party of friends had been 1 drinking heavily and a quarrel ensued. That the mystery will be quickly cleared is the opinion .of the deputy sheriffs. :• MARKET CRASH IS HARD TO EXPLAIN High Prices of 1909 In Measure Held Responsible for the Violent Contraction of Stocks :\u25a0 *.- . NEW YORK, Feb. 6.--The violent contraction In the market status of stocks last week and the heavy liqui- dation that caused it proved difficult to explain. The fact of the stock market crash gave anxiety over the general situation and to fears that un- favorable facts existed, although they were not disclosed. The excess of the preceding specula- tion which had pushed prices to un- warranted heights in 1909 was assumed and the measure of that excess was held responsible for the violence of last week's reaction. The letting out of the speculative In- flation not only has brought a modified view of the actual conditions that prompted it, but also a realization of the lull in the progress of such pros- perous increase as had set in. , » With the recognition of the check to progress in business and industry comes the question how far the reac- tion may run. The unsettled specula- tive sentiment was reflected in the stock market. Confidence is Impaired in the substantial nature of the im- provement that has- occurred and its permanent character. A potent factor in this view is the dying down of demand for iron, espe- cially for the longer deliveries, and the resultant decline In the price. The report of cancellation of orders for equipment by some railroads makes an Impression of distrust over main- tenance of traffic. The raising of cap- ital for extension of enterprise only presents difficulties. The public agitation on the high cost of living also had an unfavorable ef- fect on the market. A less abtruse but effective Influence on stocks is the pushing of the move- ment by the banks to clear out of their collateral for loans such stocks as are under suspicion of manipulation by pools. KING OF MONEY LENDERS OF AUSTRIA IN CUSTODY Loan Shark Patronized by Aristocracy Is Accused of Forging Clients' ' Notes for Thousands VIENNA, Feb. 6.—Fritz Reicher, the "king of money lenders," who abscond- ed, from Vienna nine months ago, has been arrested at Irun, on the Franco- Spanish frontier. Sensational revela- tions are expected at his trial, which will take place here in the near future. Reicher was the leading money lend- er to the Austrian aristocracy, and his rise to fortune was remarkable. He came to Vienna a penniless clerk,.but in a few years he was the most pros- perous note broker in the Austrian cap- ital. His Income is said to have averaged $75,000 a year, but-nevertheless he cop- ied' the extravagant ways of many of his aristocratic clients, and lost heavily on;the turf. It is alleged he took to forging bills in the name of various prominent men in Vienna, and when he disappeared last spring he is said to have owed more than $2,600,000; Relcher's victimized clients were un- willingto appear against him, and the police were powerless to-interfere until a complaint was filed.' The fugitive act. ually wrote to several . victims and re- quested loans. Finally one of them, exasperated at his impudence, con- sented to appear in court, and Reicher was arrested. ....'" Strange stories as to his dealings with persons in high station are expected. THE EXTENT -'Do you know Borroughs?" "Some." \u25a0 "How well do you know htm?"

Enraged because of his failure toforce an entrance to the room occupiedby his wife, whom he intended to kill.Prof. Wiliam Rosskopt, 35 years old,a hypnotist, placed the muzzle of anautomatic pistol against his breast andsent a bullet through his heart at his

home at 849 West Fifty-seventh street.shortly before 11 o'clock yesterdaymorning. ,-

'Rosskopt and his wife quarreled fre-quently recently, say tho officers whoinvestigated the matter, and a weekago, following a violent altercation, he

fired a shot at her while they werein their bedroom. . The bullet whizzednear her head and buried itself in thewall.

At 6 o'clock Saturday night Rosskopt,his wife, their 6-year-old son and ayoung man who was employed byRosskopt began the evening meal..While at the table Roskopt and hiswife began to quarrel, presumablyabout a mortgage which they had givenon their home. When the meal wasfinished the couple continued theirdispute, and did not cease their bicker-ing until midnight.

Angered at Wife - /. y

Rosskopt was so angered at his wifethat he refused to stay in the' sameroom with her, and after getting hispistol and a pillow entered anotherroom and went to bed with his youngson. ::'?-';-!

Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterdaymorning Rosskopt arose and dressed,

not awaking the child. He then wentto the room occupied by his wife andattempted to enter. The door waslocked and he was unable to get in.

. He then returned to his room and pro-cured his pistol. With the weapon inhis hand he again went to the doorof his wife's room and demanded ad-mittance. Mrs. Rosskopt refused toopen the door and * told him to goaway and allow her to sleep.

Rosskopt -then threw his weightagainst the door and attempted to force

it open. After making several futileattempts he called to his wife and told

* her that if she did not open the doorby the time he counted three she wouldbe sorry for it the rest of her life.7By this time the young man, whoacted as a subject for Rosskopt during

the entertainments given by the latter,entered the room where Rosskopt wasstanding. Rosskopt had just countedthree, and before the young fellowcould interfere placed the pistol to hisbreast and fired.

Little Son AwakenedThe report of the pistol awoke the

son of the dying man, and the littlefellow rushed into the room andpleaded with his father to get up andlove him. Mrs. Rosskopt then knewthat something was wrong, and sheunlocked her door and hurried to theside of her husband. , Just as shereached his side he gave a gasp anddied. - '\u25a0 ' \u25a0\u25a0 "

Mrs. Rosskopt notified the University

police station, and Patrolmen Shreinerand Johnson were detailed to make aninvestigation. The officers learned thatRosskopt, who earned his living by

giving hypnotic entertainments in the.various towns in Southern California,

was of a peculiar temperament and' frequently quarreled with his wife

without cause. - >"' - "\u25a0

Mrs. Rosskopt told, the policementhat her husband had returned from

Santa Barbara several weeks ago andhad been worried because of financialtroubles. She said that he started aviolent quarrel a week ago and, whileenraged at her, seized his automaticpistol and fired at her. She crouched

v down just as he pulled the trigger and• the bullet crashed into the wall nearher. <»;_

The body of Rosskopt was removedto the undertaking establishment of

Bresee Bros., and the coroner probablywill sign a certificate of suicide with-out holding an inquest. '.\u25a0;:,':-- - *\u25a0

The presidency of John D. Rockefelleris considered merely . nominal, as hevisits the company's offices only aboutonce a year. \u25a0 . N -

Speaking of the new move, Mr. His-gen said: "While our policy may seemlike pure aggrandizement, it Is reallypurely one of self-preservation, the firstlaw of man.

ANCIENT BURIED CITYFOUND IN TRANSVAAL

JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 6.--Much In-terest has been aroused throughoutSouth Africa by the reported discov-ery of a buried city near.the Vaal, inthe Western Transvaal. It appearsthat, as" a farmer was digging a grave,ho came upon a large slab, which, onbeing exhumed, proved to be of a kindof marble I unknown in tho neighbor-hood. It was beautifully worked, evi-dently by highly skilled hands. Fur-ther excavations disclosed ' anothersimilar slab. -

Subsequently a trench was drivenfrom the spot, which led to the dis-covery of an ancient wall of massivemasonry. A Johannesburg syndicatehas been formed "which will directsystematic excavations. Near the spotare several mounds and ridges.

J. E. ADLER ACCUSED OF PASS.

ING BOGUS CHECKS

Man in Jail Refuses to Tell Where-y; He Came From or Where He

Lived While in LosAngeles

! An automobile joy ride was termin-ated suddenly in South Broadway lateSaturday afternoon when, to the sur-prise and Indignation of three pretty

girls, their escort, who gave the nameof J. E. Adler, was placed under, ar-rest by Detectives Jones, Boyd andHitch and booked at police headquar-ters under suspicion. (

The girls were dumfounded. and ata loss to account for the interruptionas Adler was taken from the auto.Adler also, was loud in his indignationand termed the arrest an . outrage.Adler's arrest was kept a secret untillast night, that the detectives mighthave opportunity to look up his record,and they assert that the prisoner willhave to face a charge of passing ficti-tious checks. - y i \u25a0 \u25a0---

According to the police, Adler, who is30 years old, well dressed and of de-bonair appearance, arrived in Los An-geles a week ago. Shortly after hisarrival he deposited $25 with the South-ern Trust company. He then visitednumerous jewelry and clothing stores,and made small purchases, for whichhe gave checks. At each place he in-spected goods and remarked that hewas soon to be married and wouldmake mure extensive purchases.

The checks ranged in amount from$2 to %5, and were honored by theSouthern Trust company. In the mean-time Adler was creat-.ig a furore among

the gentler sex by his fluent talk andpolished manners, and he entertainedlavishly with automobile rides and din-ner parties.

Wednesday Adler went.to the jewel-ry Arm of Luekenbach & Co., 141 SouthSpring street, and selected a $250 dia-mond ring, and tendered a check forpayment. The firm refused to acceptthe check until they investigated, al-though Adler's check for a small pur-chase in the store had been honored afew days before. With the remarkthat "if a gentleman's honor was ques-tioned he would trade elsewhere," Ad-ler left. He then visited the wholesalejewelry firm of Bastheim, Adams &Abel, 701 Broadway Central building,

and went | through the same transac-

tion. This firm also refused to accepta check.'.At the clothing store of Braver &

Krohn, Fifth an". Spring streets, Adlerhad better success, purchasing a $50

suit of clothes and his check was ac-cepted. ylt is alleged, the check' wasvalueless. ' ,

Tl.jactions of Adler were reported atpolice headquarters and a descriptionof the man • given, which resulted inIlls arrest. The prisoner will not\u25a0peak, only to assert that he is a vic-tim of. circumstances. He would notstate where he came from or where he

roomed while in Los Angeles.- *. . *.

JERUSALEM, Feb. The procla-mation of the constitution in Turkey

has opened tho doors of Palestine tothe incoming of Jews from all partsof the world. In Jerusalem alone four-fifths of the population (100,000) nowbelong to the Jewish faith, while atJaffa, Tiberias, Safed and Haifa(Mount Carmel) Jews are reckoned bytens of . thousands.- Almost the whole of the extensiveplain of Esdraelon has been bought bythem. Their prosperous colonies spreadfrom Dan to Beersheba, and even far-ther south to the outskirts of Egypt.

Thousands are escaping from Persiato find shelter and protection In theHoly Land, while every ship, fromOdessa carries hundreds of them.

The Jordan valley, once the propertyof : ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid, Is beingeagerly sought after by Jewish capi-talists and syndicates. The Zionists,whose I agents are distributed all overthe land, are buying up the rich prop-erties of the ' Mohammedan effendis,whose incomes since the revolutionhave considerably lessened.

. Monopolize EverythingThe whole city is essentially a Jew-

ish town. -Banking, as well as tradeand commerce, is monopolized by-Jews. The government has found itnecessary to organize a \u25a0 company ofJewish, gendarmes. Hundreds of thou-sands of dollars are annually sent fromEurope and America to enable thecolonists to build homes, hospitals,schools and invalid homes. Over onehundred Jewish schools already existin Jerusalem alone. Synagogues arerising up everywhere.

The value of land has risen fourfold.The ignorant and poverty strickenpeasants are being ousted from theirhomes and villages .by the sharp Eu-ropean Jew settler, whose modernagricultural implements and .methodshave made the land producenever before dreamed of by the na-tives.

MURDER DONE ONROAD NEAR PICO

WM. MOSS SHOT TO DEATHNEAR RANCH HOME

BODY \ FOUND IN HIGHWAY BY

PASSING FARMER

Spree at Roadhouse Has Fatal End-

ing— Mystery Still Sur-rounds Facts in

the Case

Lying in a pool of blood In the roadnear Old Mission, about three milesfrom Pico station, near Whittier, thebody of Walter Moss, 35 years old, arancher living at Pico station, wasfound early yesterday morning. Ashort distance away was found thehorse and also the cart belonging to

John Taylor.Moss was the son of early settlers

In Southern California. At one timehe was possessed of considerablewealth, but as the result of dissipationand ill-advised investments, his for-tune was swept away. Recently he

had been drinking heavily.Saturday afternoon he told his wife

that he was going over to what is

known as Old Mission, near the oldTemple homestead. There are severalroadhouses in that neighborhood.

These places are headquarters for arough element, according to the officerswho are familiar with the district.'Moss hitched his horse and cart, kissedhis wife goodby and told her he wouldreturn early. That was the last timeshe saw him alive.

He went to the roadhouse and be-gan drinking heavily. He was knownto be quarrelsome when in his cups,and it is said that he had altercationswith several persons.

Ho was seen to enter his cart anddrive away shortly after 9 o'clock Sat-urday night. It is not known whetheror not he had a companion with him,and nothing more was seen of himuntil a belated rancher stumbled overthe body in the road early yesterdaymorning. . >\u25a0. I

The officers, were notified imme-diately and a search was made for the.horse and cart, which at first couldnot be located. After a further inves-tigation the horse, drawing the cartabout in an aimless manner, wasfound near the scene of the murderand the home of the dead man. •/.-\u25a0-.

Tho body of Moss was taken to theundertaking establishment of E. H.White at Whittier where the coronerwill hold an inquest.

L. Manriques, a rancher living nearWhittier, was brought to the county

jail last night by Deputy Sheriff Mar-tin Agulrre, and will be held as a wit-ness pending the Investigation of themurder of William Moss.

Although Deputy Agulrre stated thatManriques was held simply as' a wit-ness, it was admitted that there arediscrepancies in the stories He has told.After being brought to the county jailthe witness refused to discuss the case.

According to Deputy Sheriffs Aguirre

and Oliver, who worked? all day yester-day on the murder mystery, the motivehas not been found. It is known thatMoss and a party of friends had been

1 drinking heavily and a quarrel ensued.That the mystery will be quickly

cleared is the opinion .of the deputy

sheriffs. :•

MARKET CRASH ISHARD TO EXPLAIN

High Prices of 1909 In Measure HeldResponsible for the Violent

Contraction ofStocks

:\u25a0 *.- .NEW YORK, Feb. 6.--The violent

contraction In the market status ofstocks last week and the heavy liqui-

dation that caused it proved difficultto explain. The fact of the stockmarket crash gave anxiety over thegeneral situation and to fears that un-favorable facts existed, although theywere not disclosed.

The excess of the preceding specula-tion which had pushed prices to un-warranted heights in 1909 was assumedand the measure of that excess washeld responsible for the violence oflast week's reaction.

The letting out of the speculative In-flation not only has brought a modifiedview of the actual conditions thatprompted it, but also a realization ofthe lull in the progress of such pros-perous increase as had set in. , »

With the recognition of the check toprogress in business and industry

comes the question how far the reac-tion may run. The unsettled specula-tive sentiment was reflected in thestock market. Confidence is Impairedin the substantial nature of the im-provement that has- occurred and itspermanent character.

A potent factor in this view is thedying down of demand for iron, espe-cially for the longer deliveries, and theresultant decline In the price.

The report of cancellation of ordersfor equipment by some railroads makesan Impression of distrust over main-tenance of traffic. The raising of cap-ital for extension of enterprise onlypresents difficulties.

The public agitation on the high costof living also had an unfavorable ef-fect on the market.

A less abtruse but effective Influenceon stocks is the pushing of the move-ment by the banks to clear out oftheir collateral for loans such stocksas are under suspicion of manipulationby pools.

KING OF MONEY LENDERSOF AUSTRIA IN CUSTODY

Loan Shark Patronized by AristocracyIs Accused of Forging Clients'

' Notes for Thousands

VIENNA, Feb. 6.—Fritz Reicher, the"kingof money lenders," who abscond-ed, from Vienna nine months ago, hasbeen arrested at Irun, on the Franco-Spanish frontier. Sensational revela-tions are expected at his trial, which

will take place here in the near future.Reicher was the leading money lend-

er to the Austrian aristocracy, and hisrise to fortune was remarkable. Hecame to Vienna a penniless clerk,.butin a few years he was the most pros-perous note broker in the Austrian cap-ital.• His Income is said to have averaged$75,000 a year, but-nevertheless he cop-ied' the extravagant ways of many ofhis aristocratic clients, and lost heavily

on;the turf. It is alleged he took to

forging bills in the name of variousprominent men in Vienna, and whenhe disappeared last spring he is saidto have owed more than $2,600,000;

Relcher's victimized clients were un-willingto appear against him, and thepolice were powerless to-interfere untila complaint was filed.' The fugitive act.ually wrote to several . victims and re-quested loans. Finally one of them,

exasperated at his impudence, con-sented to appear in court, and Reicherwas arrested. ....'"

Strange stories as to his dealings withpersons in high station are expected.
