William Graves, a stranger in th city, and guest at a questionable hotel on Broadway near Second street, will not trust the next man who generously offers to hold his valuables for him. He did it once and told his troubles to the police yesterday.

Friday morning Graves went to Venice, and met a pleasing-appearing young man with whom he engaged in conversation. Bathing was discussea and the other suggested a dip in tnu plunge. Graves was not eager, but finally agreed. As he was about to get a bathing suit the new "friend" suggested that Graves watch and valuables would not be secure in the, dressing room, so Graves turned over his gold timepiece and $50 for safe keeping. The "friend" Is presumed to be keeping them, for as soon as Graves and his little bathing suit struck ttw Five Advantages i 1 BY WILLARD HUNTINGTON WRIGHT, Poison and Firearms in Jail-break Plot.

Its abundant foliage, lush ravines, picturesque hills, and Its austere, implacable coast have caught the imaginations of the artist-folk.

The artistic bacilli are so numerous that inoculation is imminent even to the visiting pachyderm.

In fact, if you hnve any hobby, caparisoned or saddleless, Carmel is the place where you may ride unmolested. There are no road laws for hobbies there. Only the hobby must have an elevated parietal structure. The community is strictly high-brow. Thither gather the yearners for culture, the spirits with prominent auras, the favorites' of the Muses, the children of the intellect, the over-souls, the chosen, the blest.

Breaking into an inspiration at Carmel was probably a penal offense, like breaking into a house In an ordinary community. And it was a clear case against me.

I was red-handed. So I apologized humbly, fearing I might be placed under arrest But nothing tragic happened. The lady proved very charming and kind. Through her I met the Carmelites. THE TOWN OF CARMEL.

Look to us for your June outfit of the uninspired and the inartistic toward the intellectually elite and the esthetically cultured, has in it mingled pride and disgust. The ones without the pale don't exactly know ivhat to make of these rarefied souls, but at the same time they feel that in some subtle and recondite way these souls add to the dignity and superiority of the place. When I first inquired of the stage-driver at Monterey as to the artistic condition of Carmel, a look of pride accompanied the information that there were "a heap of real swell writers and artists in Carmel." Later, as we were driving over the hill in a stage, which had had a long and strenuous past, behind a horse that long ago had forgotten its youth, a sudden steep pull necessitated a halt.

The poor beast struggled but could not move. The fat driver arose and began a furious stream of epithets. Having exhausted all the derogatory and infuriate side of his vocabulary, he settled back in disgust and looked painfully at the horse. He was ransacking his brain for some final anathema. For the moment the lexicon of mortality seemed inadequate to express his true Secretary of the Commission Tells City Club Members That Good Government Crowd Is the Hungriest One That Ever Got Office in Los Angeles.

There, shut off from the unappreclative and the ln-artiHtlc. they ruthlessly disseminate their culture and set the intellectual "Civil Service In the Hands of Its worthy of the name. The other byways are rustic and unpaved. It is considered a crime to cut the trees or shrubbery, and the result is that the many little bungalows, of which the town is comprised, are hidden from sight until one is very near to them.

Carmel has the general appearance of South Spring Strttt Men's Tailors being a primeval, uninhabited spot, and little does one suspect what mighty and cultured things are going on there. II! There is a Roycrolty hotel on the main street, one or two grocery stores, a bakery, a plumbing establishment, a candy shop, a livery stable, and a drug store oh, let us not forget the drug store. I put emphasis on this establishment, for what would seem a very irrelevant reason, namely, that Carmel is a temperance town, parenthetically, I would suggest to the stranger within Carmel's gates that germs into frenzied fulminations. THE Conversationally, Carmel is polysyllabic. Scenery, the soul, and art have infinite possibilities for discussion, and are indulged In almost exclusively.

When I arrived" at Carmel, it was a dead-heat on these subjects, although immediately after my coming art got in the lead, with the scenery a close second. For two days the soul spurted, and the scenery and art dropped far behind. But when I left, the scenery had It her own way. In summer, however, art is the only entry. It Is discussed from sun to sun.

It Is the only intellectual pabulum during the dog-days. At the end of August the topic of art has been worn to a frazzle. It takes It the remainder of the year to recuperate. Nor, is the vocabulary employed In the conversational clinic that of the humdrum man. No, indeed! Bizarre and rococo words flourisji.

Were I not afraid of appearing erudite, I would say that a sententious sesquipedalian-Ism characterized the Carmellan repartee. To be in the verbal swim in Carmel one must have handy cataclysmic who has Just been taken to San Quen-tin to serve a term of six years for grand larceny. The break for freedom was hatched while he was a prisoner in the County Jail. Not since the Fleenor-Stackpole episode, when a burglar and a murderer attempted to throttle their jailer, and were shot for their pains, has such a deso(rate move been planned by any inmates of a local prison. 1 Appreciation of a prisoner for the kinlness shown him by Jailer Gallagher caused the plans to be uncovered by 'the officers before they were complete, and probably prevented bloodshed.

The prisoner overheard the scheming and reported it to his guards. Warren was hurriedly taken to the penitentiary. The plot dates back to the tinxi when a safe-cracker trio, Garwood, Gavin and Pfeifer. was Imprisoned. They were experienced in assaults upon their fellow-beings, and thought Holding of human life when it stood between them and the accomplishment of some desperate objeet.

Garwood is given credit for having hatched the scheme. He formulated a plan whereby he thought it would be possible to break from the prison. WARREN AMPLIFIES PLOT. It found fertile soil in Warren's brain. He accepted it, and enlarged upon It.

From the very moment was taken in custody he vowed that he would never serve a day in the penitentiary. To the plot for breaking jail, he added the Idea of ending his life if he should fail in the attempt. Warren took into his ccntidem-e several men who had little c.ianre tn escape going to the State prlsuti. was to be the leader. In order to carrv out the scheme it was necessary untold the whole affair to a man who was serving a short term for a petty offense.

The plot was to have the "short-termer furnish the iiwensury after he had procured hi release.

But suddenly he arose and gripped his gad. There was a note of satisfaction in his voice: "Giddap, you damn artist!" he said The damn artist proceeded. THE PROFESSORS.

As I have stated, there are many college professors In Carmel. These classic pundits come down from Berkeley and Stanford to recuperate. David Starr Jordan has a bungalow there. For, the most part these gentlemen have coagulated in one street. This honored highway Is called "Professorial Row." Their prinoipai pastime is engaging in catch-as-catch-can on the dialectic mat.

The professors very studiously and religiously avoid the artistic element In Carmel for fear of contamination. These learned gentlemen represent law and order. And the habits of artists, from the beginning of the world, have always been motto. Last year the Arts and Crafts Club of Carmel discovered they were In debt. So they inaugurated what they called a "Merry Widow Road House at which home-made caniy and soft drinks were sold by young authorines clothed in black.

It was too much for Friends," the topic of an address by W. A. Spalding, before the Club yesterday, disclosed the painful fact, according to Spalding, that of all the raids that new administrations have made on the sen-ice. that of the present "reform" crowd has been the "hardest." Spalding ought to know, for he is secretary of the Civil Service Commission, its first and only secretary, and has served during the seven years of plenty since the scheme wa3 put into the charter. Besides he is the protege of Dr.

John R. father of civil service and the direct legislation trio, who is now hurrying to Europe to spend four months learning why-there are more mine accidents in the United States than in France or England. The speaker, who was introduced by Dr. Frank B. Kellogg, identified himself as a continuous reformer for thirty years and he introduced civil service as an important part of the equipment of the "reform" army.

He addressed the City Club as "the house of the friends" of civil service which, he declared, has been the real leverage for all the other reforms, in that it destroyed the power of the boss over tne municipal employe. "I have served through four administrations," said he, each time the new officials have tried to raid the civil service to take care of their friends, but I want to say the raid has been harder 'under the present reform administration than any other. But all administrations looked aiiku to the commission," he added. "As a matter of fact." he declared, "civil service in Its governmental entity, is between the politicians on one hand and the 'reform' administration on the other, but it mut fall, he preferred for it to tail 'in the hands of, AT YOUR OWN PRICE We Must Have Cash N.

With a license, the owners of these lots could erect parlors of conviviality and introduce the Demon Rum to the public. The promoters of Carmel have their fears of what may happen any day. The deeds to these lots hang over their beads a sort of bottle of Damocles. Any day the red wine may flow in Carmel. But at present the drys have it.

One reaches Carmel by stage from Monterey, over the Carmel hill. Nothing so vulgar as a railrad has dared variations for the commonest phrases. For Instance, if I were going to say, "the leaves are green," I would fly at it in some such manner as this: "Yon arboreal appendages are emer ald- hued." penetrate into this sanctum sanctorum of art TOU SUNSET!

But if they objected to the "Merry Widow Road House," the professors nevertheless are in sympathy with the Stadium, which Carmel Is soon to have. The theater will be bullded in one of the ravines. For a time there was a hot discussion between the Respectables and the Eminently Respectables as to how this theater should be run.
