CLIMBS DERRICK AND ENTERS SECOND STORY WINDOW. Escapea With Grip Containing Valuable Papers, Leaving No Clue to His Identity Fails in Attempt to Break Into Other Rooms. A peculiar robbery was perpetrated in the Westminster Hotel on the night of January 10. A grip belonging to William Yolen Williams of Rossiand, British Columbia, superintendent of tho Granby mines, was removed from his room on the second floor, No. 2, In such a stealthy manner that no clue to the Identity of tho thief has yet been found.

After a short absence from hla room on the night of the robbery Mr. Williams secured his key from the hotel office, unlocked his door, and entered his apartment, to retire. Ho then discovered that his grip had been removed how, he had not tho remotest Idea until morning. Then It was ascertained, by finger prints on the window sill and footprints In the dust lodged on the narrow coping under the win dows of the second floor, that the thief had undoubtedly entered by climbing to the window along the ledge from a derrick which stood in the alley In' the mar of the hotel, close to the building, and reaching above the second-story windows. Foot nd finger print showed that the same marauder had also tried to enter rooms 24 and 25, without success.

The loas of the grip haa caused Its owner much annoyance, as It contained papers valuable to him, but worthless to the person In whose possession they may now be. There were also several articles of Jewelry and personal atttre of Intrinsic value, but the loser aays he will gladly donate them to the person who took the grip, if the latter will return the business papers. On the Inside of a bill book which was in the grip was Inscribed the full name and address of the owner. 'The hotel management, aided by the police, have made every effort to recover the stolen goods, but without success. At the hotel it Is said the thief was un doubtedly an outsider, and not a per-.

HALE. ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY HONORS PASADENA MAN. Eldest Daughter of John Brown, Hero of Harper' Ferry, Diet at Advanced Age, Leaving Four Children Distinguished Visitor. PASADENA, Office of The Times, No. 26 South Raymond Avenue, Jan.

16. Prof. Georg E. Hale, who resides on Palmetto drive, this city, has Just been informed that he was voted, on last Friday, the gold medal of the Royal Astronomical Society of London. Prof.

Hale Is the man who is here to Investigate the feasibility of placlnsr a large, first-class observatory on Wilson's Peak. He made some encouraging remarks concerning this project yesterday, and also explained about that gold medal in a modest sort of way. 'The medal," he said, "was awarded principally for the invention and perfection of the spectroheliograph, and for recent work with this instrument in connection with the forty-inch Yerkes telescope at Lake Geneva. The spectroheliograph may have some local interest if It becomes possible to erect a large and powerful Instrument of this type on the mountains near Pasadena. "The purpose of the spectroheliograph, which was invented in 1889 and first successfully used at the Kenwood Obsercatory near Chciago in 1892, Is to photograph the flames and eruptive phenomena of the sun.

Photo-grahs of the sun taken in the ordinary way show no trace of these flames, nor can they be seen in observations of the sun with a telescope. With the aid of a spectroscope the flames at the sun's adge may be rendered visible, and these sometimes exhibit extraordinary phenomena. The epeetrohelio-graph supplies the only means of photographing these great eruptions, which in one 'f recorded on our plates, shot upward through a height of miles in sixteen minutes, Anally attaining an nltitude of 287,000 miles, over one-third of the sun's diameter. Hut In addition to this the spectroheliograph reveals on the sun's surface a great number of other phenomena which can not be detected in any way without its aid. These are great luminous clouds of Intensely hot vapors, of calcium, hydrogen, iron, sodium and many othr substances.

With the ppectrohellograph a photograph may be taken showing only the Iron vapor; or, by a change in the adjustments, 'the sodium vapor or the hydrogen gas may be shown alone, with no Interference from the other substances present. "Up to last spring the photographs taken by the instrument, some thousands in number, showed only the calcium vapor in the solar clouds. At that time, through improvements then per- lected, It became possible to photograph the vapors of the other substances. It Is certain, however that only a few of the many possibilities of the spectroheliograph have been realized, "It is with the hope of developing the Instrument in the most complete maimer that I am planning to erect a large telescope and a spectroheliograph of a new type and of a larger size. In the Sierra Madre Mountains.

What is needed Is a much larger Image of the sun than has been used in previous work, and this can only be had in a region of exceptional atmospheric conditions. Certain points in the Sierra Madrc Mountains seem to offer greater advantages in this regard than any other sites that have been investigated. "Mount Wilson appears to be the best site hitherto examined, but further work may bring to light still more favorable regions. I have recently had constructed in the Instrument shop of the Yerkes Observatory a large horizontal telescope of an entirely new type, and a very powerful spectroheliograph. If the necessary arrangements can be made I hope to bring these instruments here in the near future.

They would then be erected at the most favorable site to be found in the Sierra Madre or the San Bernardino Mountains." JOHN' BROWN'S DAUGHTER. Mrs. Ruth Brown Thompson, eldest daughter of John Brown, the hero of Harper's Ferry, died yesterday morning at 11:42 o'clock at her home. No. South Fair Oaks avenue.

She had been IH only a short time with the grip, though more or less of an invalid for a number of years. Despite her advanced age, 75 years, and hr enfeebled condition, Mrs. Thompson made a s.rong fight against the disease and up to a short time before her demise there was some hope of her recovery. Mrs. Thompson was born on February 2S, 1829, at Richmond, Pa.

Shortly after her marriage to Henry Thompson she removed to New York State, and again, after ten years, to Put-In-Bay. O. Nineteen years ago they left Ohio to come to California and made their home on Arroyo drive, on the Southwestern outskirts of the city. This little home they recently rented, moving up town. Mrs.

Alleged That Anvil Chorus Haa Been Busy on City Fruit Inspector. Apples in Market in Prima ConditionWould Deatroy Bad Fruit. The wires have not yet ceased to vibrate over an official act of R.

E. Drummond. City Fruit Inspector. Some time last month he condemned about 1000 boxes of Santa Clara Valley apples, becausa they were wormy, and a great howl went up from some of the growers. It seems that an inspector for the Horticultural Commission, who is at the same time secretary of the Appl? Growers' Association, has been helping to "knock" Drummond, and there may be something doing today, Th Apple Growers' Association will hold a meeting this morning at the Courthouse und Drummond will appear there and define his position.

The law requires that he destroy all wormy, scaly or rotten fruit, and he feels in duty bound to protect tho growers ot Southern California. There may be some warm exchanges on the subject at the meeting toctuy, but Inspector Drummond says he will simply state his lawful position, and dlsabuaa the ininds of any growers who may have been misled Into 'ho belief that he would destroy fruit for other than legal cause. AFPLES SOUND AND GOOD. Investigation among commission merchants develops the fait that the applts In market are In prime, condition, as they are all from the mountain or loothiil districts, where, they say, no scale ever exists. "A point of interest and importance." said tho manager of one prod-use company "Is that apples may ho tnfested with scale, invisible to the naked eye, and be placed in cold storage In apparently perfect condition, but when taken out It will be discovered that the scale hus developed and the iruit must be condemned.

The same Ihing Is true ot 'buckshot The apples will g. Into storage in pericct condition, so tar ns can be petn. tnid will come ou covered with the familiar small brown spot, under whih 1s a small pit nlleu with a spongy nuer. This is Knon (. the 'huckuhot It is In no sense injur ou to but ruins the ap ple the market.

'lrfvc is anoiner ime-u mmr STlous cause of loss In apples placed in cold stornae. known as "scald. It Is apparently due to the condition of the fru't when placed in storage, for li will attack entire boxes or alternate ripples in a box, or leave one perfectly sound while all around It will be 'f calert' apples. They are utterly worthless, they become soft and crack or tall to pieces." WOULD DESTROY BAD FRUIT. Frank Simpson is strongly in favor of destroying all wormy and scaly apples, or fruit condemned for any other reason.

He declares It ruins tho market and serves no good purpose, as any person in Ix Angeles can buy good fruit any time in the year. He commends the action of tho Watsonville growers for deciding to destroy cull aPAato scale being Injurious to health, Mr. Simpson thinks that apples showing Injurious scale wtll not be eaten. He says that not only dea ers, but growers and consumers as well, should tho TiVnit Insnector In de stroying apples infested with any of the Wtt, as that Is the only way to eradicate them and increase the per centage of flrst-ciass Truii. poULDNT FLOAT PUMPKIN SEED PHOTOGRAPH KNOCKS BOTTOM OF BIG LAWSUIT.

Attorney-Goneral Finda California Fish Company lan't Injuring Commerce and Diamiaaes Action Brought by Chamber of Commerce Wharf Committee. A simple photograph showing a man wading up to his ankles In front of a wharf knocked the stuffing out of a $100,000 lawault yesterday. By reason of the photograph, the At torney-General asked Judge Allen to dismiss the suit brought to take away the wharf franchise from the Califor nia FiHh Company at East San Pedro. The suit was really brought by George W. Parsons of the Chamber of Com merce Yharf Committee In the nama of the Attorney-General.

The complaint that Mr, Parsons swore to alleged that the fish company waB using lis wharf, granted to it for the public benefit, for Its own selfish In tereBts. He alleged the company was preventing vessels from landing at the wharf, and was not conducting a pub lie Institution at all, refusing to permit the wharf to be opened to commerce, This suit threatened to put the fish company out of business, and Imperiled an Investment of 1100,000. Of course, If deprived of a place on the water front, the fish company could not oper ate. The answer of the corporation was to quietly have photographs taken and sent to the Attorney-Ueneral. The most striking of these showed a man wading out in the water In front of the wharf to the point at which it was alleged vessels of commerce were refused landing.

If the picture was the Attor ney-General saw that a shingle couldn't be kept afloat. Another picture Bhowed that at low tide there wua a large stria of dry land in front of the wharf. Among the papers sent to the Attor ney-General's office was a copy of papers from the United States Knglneer'f office, showing that, owing to too limited approprlatolns, no dredging can be none in front of the California Fish Company tor six to nine months. Yesterday Deputy Attorney-General George Sturdevant arrived In the city, and went at once to San Pedro to make a personal Investigation. He saw that vessels were not prevented from landing.

He also held to the opinion that there waa no harm In the fence built on the wharf. The wharf owners claim the fence is only for protection to pedestrians. They say the Deputy Attorney-General stated that he believed they have the right to fence In the whole wharf until such time aa It can be opened for commerce with water enough to float a pumpkin seed. Mr. Sturdevant went into Judee Al len's court during the afternoon and dismissed the case.

The action of the Attorney-General's office was a great surprise to Oscar Lawler. of this city, attorney for the narrator, Mr. Parsons, representing the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Law ler says he was not consulted, although the leading counsel In the caae, and the dismissal waa without hla sanction.
