ROOM THIEVES ROBBED FOSTER OF A THOUSAND - Big Sacks of Coin in His Trunk. Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, Sept. 18. J. Foster, who lives at the Vendome Hotel, has reported the loss of a thou- sand dollars, which he declares was stolen from his trunk several days ago. He says the money was in gold and bank notes, and that while he was out a thief went to his trunk and stole his coin. Foster came here from the East sev- eral months ago for the benefit of his health. He is an old man and an inva- lid. He says that in addition to his coin two gold watches were stolen. He kept the money in the sleeve of an ald blue | shirt, and says that only one man in town knew that value in his room. In speaking of the alleged robbery that when he went to the Chief s office some one turned him Shorey. ‘‘Mr. Shorey impressed me with the necessity of keep- ing the matter very quiet,”” said Foster. “1 made an agreement with him that I would pay him 3500 in gold coin if he would recover the thousand dollars I lost. I would not.put up any money in advance, however, because once dld that and came out loser In Oregon. If Mr, Shorey recovers my money I will gladly pay him. At present we have no clew to the robber.” Chief of Police Hodgkins made thi statement to-nigh “Last Friday Fos- ter reported his loss to this department. Detective Shorey and Detective Holland went to the Hotel Vendome and searched his room. In a bureau they found $350 in gold, which they forced him to deposit in some bank. His trunk had been forced open, and 1 am inclined to_ think that the money was stolen from him. There was no deal made with the detectives, but Foster did say that he would will- ingly glve half of what was lost to re- cover the other half. There was no agreement made, and I feel sure the de- tectives acted squarely., So far there is no clew to the robber.” HELD THE BABY WHILE MOTHER SOUGHT AID he kept anything of OAKLAND, Sept. 18— Pop” Wells, the | erty and harassing Morris, who at one| County Supervisor, otherwise familiar! known as “Honest Tom Wells,” was the victim to-day of what some of his con- freres on the Supervisorial board would term a “joke In black and white.” Mrs. nn%nm a Peruvian, before the board asking for help.
