Invade a Stronghold of Police- men and Take the Con- tents of the Safe. St Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA ROSA, Nov. 19.—The City )Iall;- Collector’'s office was robe izslh:?g t{?j‘morning between the hours of 5 and 6 o’clock. The amount taken was about $1000, but the exact figures have not vet been ascertained. It was city tax mcney which had been paid to Marshal | Charles H. Holmes. The robbers must have entered the Mar- shal's office, which is in the City H‘all, through the front door, it being wide open when the burglary was discovered at 6 o'clock. They could not have vis- jted the place before 5 o'clock, for at that hour all the policemen doing night duty reported off, and everything about the of- fice was then in perfect order. An hour later Mrs. Jane Samuels, janitress of the City Hall, arrived. She not only found the outer office door, open, but the safe was standing unlocked. She reported her discovery to Police Officer McIntosh, who lost no time in informing Marshal Holmes. The most pecullar circumstance in con- nection with the theft in the way in which the safe was opened. The com- bination was used. The inner door re- quires a key, but the burglars were pre- | pared for this, as they had a key to fit it. | The cash taken was in a canvas bag and | a number of checks payable to Mr. | | | Holmes as Tax Collector, which were in a box, went to keep company with the tax money. The safe is an old one and clicks when the correct combination 1S reached, and this may account for it hav- ing been opened so easily. A key to some other safe might have opened the inner lock. A cripple confined in a cell of the City Prison, which is at the rear of the Mar- shal’s office, sald that he heard voices ard hammering about the time the rob- bery is supposed to have occurred. Marshal Holmes said that as yester- day was the last day before city taxes became delinquent the collections had been very heavy. He had taken near! $4000 to the bank just before it clos one; aken by the robbers was what had heen patd In after that hour He said that he had the only key to the inner safe door and that when he left his office at 10 o'clock last night every- thing was all right. As policemen were constantly dropping in at’ the office dur- ing the night, he believed the money per- T farshal Holmes feels this misfortuns keenly and declares that if it be within his power he will personally replace every cent found miss ARGUMENTS ARE BEGUN IN THE WINANS CASE Famous Legal C(;ntroversy Over a Crown Legacy Duty Near Its Settlement. | LONDON, Nov. 19.—Arguments i | | appeal of Walter and J.

X B0S5 MAGHINE OUT OF GEAR Lynch May Give All His Time to Help Herrin. S California is ably represented in Con- gress by two Republican United States Senators and seven Republican Represen- tatives. Ivery member of the solid dele- gation is fully alive to the importance of | the Chinese exclusion act. ‘They will | doubtless carefully observe the proceeds ings of the convention called to meet in | this city to-morrow. If any agitator or | aspiring politician jumps in to make po- litical capital of the question involved the fact will not escape the observation of the delegation. A discredited newspaper has thrown out the siur that the Business | Men's Club, which gave such nearty sup- port to Representative Kahn in the last general election, is in favor of Chinese immigration. The little slur signifies that the yellow press is.preparing for a cam- paign of detraction and discord. Nothing Will be left undone to emparrass the Con- gressional delegation in its ettorts to as- certain and give expression to the will of the people of California. The convention Do doubt will endeavor to instruct and énlighten our Representatives, but it may _be harassed and vexed by the reappear- ‘ance of scheming politicians who were rel- egated years ago to obscurity. It goes almost without the saying that the old political back numbers and the- yellow press are in the agitation for some other urpose than the good of the country. etitions backed by yellow journalism are bound to do the cause of exclusion in- finitely more harm than good. Just Like Emperor Norton. Since the days of poor old Emperor Norton nothing has happened to afford more amusement to the community of San Francisco than the antics of (he yel- low press in taking charge of the world's affairs. Norton I issued his proclamations and went to lunch serene in the conscious- ness that the people of the earth would heed his warnings. If he were alive now | hé would take charge of the canal treaty, | the Chinese exclusion act and a budget of minor issues, but his reign has ended and the yellow press has appropriated his mantle and stolen his fulminations. The newspapers of the State comment freely on the result of the recent munici- pal election in this city., The expression is almost universal that the Herrin-Gage machine was pretty badly wrecked in its collision with the independent voters. It is acknowledged that Flint's stock in tha Gubernatorial market has advanced sev- «~ral points and-that there has been a cor- ‘responding decline in the Gage securitics. Wise politicians aré saying that Alameda County needs harmony now more than it has ever before needed it in that region. The remark goes: “If we could bring all Republican fac- tlons together, bury the hatchet and bury it so deéep that the handie would not stick out, we could nominate an Alameda man for Governor and insure the success of the entire Republican State ticket.” Asking for Lynch’s Removal. The San Bernardino papers quote the unwritten law which provides that United States Senators shall recommend all ap- ipointments where the beneficiaries have | Jurisdiction in more than a_single Con- gressional district. The deduction . i reached that the recommendation of ators Bard and Perkins for the appoint- ment of Stephen Kelley to succeed John C. Lynch will be sufficient to accomplisi the change. | Kelley the Senator will not strained to request another Senator to in- form the President that the appeintmecnt | ought not to be made. Senator Perkin | defended his action in going back on his own recommendation on the ground that members of the Republican party. It hap- pens this time that the prominent mem- bers of the party are asking for Lynch's | removal. Lynch is counting on Senator Hanna's prestige and Mose Gunst's al- | leged pull with the President to prevent a change in the Collectorship of Internal Revenue. The claim that affairs of .the office have been well conducted since Lynch's appointment. As Lynch has been giving most of his time office management, if any be due, must be given to some one eise. If Lynch is so | fond of polities and railreading, the Sena- tors may conciude to adjust matters so make the boss machine serviceable in the State campaign. The trainmen who are next to Herrin hint that Burns is the hoodoo that caused the recent wreck. e LARGE ISSUE OF BONDS FOR A SUMMER RESORT Lake Tahoe Railway Company Pre- pares to Utilize Half-Millien Dollars in Betterments.
