Bullet Is Found by Police Imbedded in Partition in the Rear. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 15. Shortly after midnight a masked bur- glar entered the saloon kept by Mr. and Mrs. Elias Olsen at Third and Jefferson Streets, and not finding any one in the front part of the saloon fired a shot at the partition in the rear and then de- camped. It was almost closing time, and Olsen and his wife were in their apartments in the rear. Mrs. Olsen heard a noise in front, and looking through the glass in the door saw a man wearing a white | mask and a dark sloueh hat standing in | front of the bar. She called to her hus- band, who was in the kitchen, further in the rear, at the same-time pulling aside the curtain hanging over the glass ‘portion of the door. The masked burglar pulled a pistol and fired at the'door, but the bullét went wild and struck the partition. The masked individual then ran out and the police were notified. Several officers responded and made an investigation. They found | 2 bullet, evidently fired from a 4é-caliber | revolver, imbedded in the partition. They searched the nelghborhood for the rob- ,‘;ff‘ but were unable to find any trace of m. BERKELEY TENNIS MEN HOLD A TRY-OUT Hunt and Baker Will Represent the College in Annual Match ‘With Stanford. Owing to the mildness of the weather vesterday play on the tennis courts around the bay was lively. The-principal event was the doubles try-out of the Uni- versity of California held on the college court. As was expected Reuben Hunt and George Baker won, but the fact that they won in straight sets was somewhat of a surprise. MacGavin played an ex- cellent game, but his partner, Brown, who is much stronger in singles than in doubles, did not play well. The score in favor of Hunt and Baker was 6-4, 6-3, 6-1 The third tournament for juveniles was started In the park yesterday. Fifteen boys and one girl took part. Following is a summary of the day's play: First round—Cassell beat Hallerin, 6-2; Marr beat B. McFarland, 6-0; Ross beat P. Martin, 7-5; La Garde beat O'Brien, 6-4; 5.

Second round—Marr beat Cassell, 6-3; Ross beat La Garde, 6-2; London vs. Dodge, not played; Knickerbocker vs. Page, not played. All the cracks were out on the Cali fornia courts yesterday and the spectators were treated to some good matches. The best match was in doubles in which Dr Sumner Hardy and Frank Mitchell beat R. N, Whitney and H. W. Crowell. The score was 9-7. Another fast doubles was | that between George Whitney and Crowell | and Bob Whitney and Chet Smith. The former won three straight sets—5-4, 6-4, 6-4.

Sacramento-Street Car Does the Balk- ing Horse Act. | As car No. 501 of the Sacramento street | line was crossing Polk street on its trip | toward the ferry yesterday afternoon about 1:156 o'clock it suddenly came to a | most abrupt stop, standing for an instant on its forward trucks, like a plunging | horse, and then swinging sideways off the | rails. The cause of the trouble was the close approximation of the sides of the Sacra- | mento street slot where it crosses the | Polk street slot. | Some heavy dray had evidently passed | over the slot and by its weight bent the | iron so as to entirely close the slot. | It is customary for the gripmen of the | Sacramento street line on nearing Polk | street to release the cable, at the same | time giving the car sufficient momentum | to carry it across Polk street to a point some sixty feet beyond the crossing, in | order to get the rope again. Had the car still been connected with the cable a se- | rious accident would have undoubtedly oc- | curred. There were but few people on the car | when it came to its sudden stop, but they | were severely shaken up. It was found necessary to cut away the ‘ iron before traffic, which had- been sus- | pended for an hour, could be resumed. | Car 301 was so badly twisted that it will | occupy a position in the shops for some time before resuming its “‘beat” on the slot. { ————————— LABOR COUNCILS STILL PASSING commms; o | District Body of Carpenters Replies | to Resolutions Adopted by An- other Organization. H. A. Butler, president of the District Council of Carpenters, and J. F. Macdon- ald, secretary, have issued a reply to the resolutions adopted on Friday night by | the San Francisco Labor Council in refer- | ence to the troubles existing between Car- penter's Union No. 483 and the Bullding | Trades Gouncil. These resolutions claimed that the Buflding Trades Council was en- deavoring to contyol the whole situation. In reply the officers of the District Council of Carpenters say that those who signed the resolutions of the San Fran- | cisco Labor Counell are not actuated by | the best of motives and are attempting | | to disrupt the entire labor movement. The resolutions are decidedly personal in cahracter. —————— Successful “Rummage” Sale. A “rummage” sale bazaar was opened yesterday at 417 Fourth street in aid of the Mizpah Presbyterian Church, Harri- son street. There was a constant stream | of purchasers of discarded but excellent garments throughout the day, and many a poor man entered looking shabby and | see6y and walked out with the appear- ance of being jn comparative affluence. Those who took an active part in die- posing of the articles were Mrs. B. ¥. Watson, president of the Ladies’ Aid So- ciety of the church; Mrs. G. W. Kidd. secretary; Mrs. R. F.

Harry Smith Believed to Be Person Who Took Krutt- schnitt Jewels, Harry Smith, who resides at 426 Sutter street and who was formerly a bellboy in the Hotel Richelieu at Van Ness ave- nue and Geary street, was arrested last night on suspicion that he had a hand In stealing Mrs. Julius Kruttschnitt’s jewels frcm her rooms in the hotel mentioned. The arrest was made by Detective Thomas Gibson at the corner of Mason and Turk streets. The youth was taken to the Southern station and his name placed on the detinue book. Until ladt Thursday Smith was em- ployed as bellboy in the hotel, but‘on that oaay he was discharged for some breach of conduct. On the following night the theft of Mrs. Kruttschnitt's jewels oc- curred. Suspicion immediately pointed to the discharged bellboy, as it was sup- posed that he had an intimate knowledge {of the apartment occupied by the Kyutt- schnitts and that he had frequently seen the valuable jewels. As soon as the rob- bery was reported to Captain Seymour detectives were _detailed to search for Smith. His name was placed on the detinue book, and no one, not even his mocther, was permitted to see him. The theft for which Smith was arrested was committed on Friday night while Mrs. Kruttschnitt was absent for a short time from her apartments. turred she found the doors locked as she had left them and nothing apparently molested. It was only when she had oc- casion to look in her bureau drawers that she discovered that her two handsome gold watches, with their fine gold chains, a diamond brooch and two diamond pins were missing. It was at once apparent that the thief was or had been in the em- ploy of the hotel, as it was evident that be used a pass key in entering the rooms. ARRESTED FOR STEALING MRS. DARLING’S DIAMONDS Raymond Sanchez Is Brought Back From Chicago to Stand Trial. Raymond Sanchez was brought back from Chicago yesterday morning by De- tective Ryan and booked at the City Pris- on on a charge of burglary. He is ac- cused of belng the accomplice of John Stevens, the physical instructor, who is wanted for stealing $9000 worth of jewelry from Mrs. Elizabeth V. Darling, 913 Eddy street, on January 24. Stevens had been afforded accommoda- tion In the basement of Mrs. Darling's residence, and by that means obtained knowledge of where she kept her jew- elry. During her temporary absence on anuary 24 he entéred the house, accom- | | panied it is said by Sanchez, and stole | Mrs. Darling’s dfamonds and other jew- elry. Stevens and Sanchez fled eastward, and as Mrs, Darling did not discover her loss till the following day they got a good | start. Detective Ryan, who was detalled on the case, obtained a clew that both Ste- vens and Sanchez were in Chicago, and the authoritles there were instructed to be on the lookout for them. Sanchez was arrested but Stevens is still at liberty. The only thing found on Sanchez was an imitation diamond taken from a necklace | which Mrs. Darling used to wear on the stage and which she has positively iden- ified. Sanchez evidently thought the | 60; stone was genuine. P. H. and Anole M.

Brooks’at the Glen Island Hotel several weeks ago. Mrs. Thomas W. Brooks, motber of the dead man, testified: “Florence Burus said Brooks was a criminal because he would not let Walter marry her. She also said: ‘If he does not marry me I will shoot him, and I wili shoot to kill." I answered that if she shot him I would shoot her, and then I asked her: ‘Why don’t you kill yourself? " Mrs. Brooks said she heard many con- versations between her son and Florence Burns. The latter on one occasion taunt- ed the young man with being a “kid” be- cause he said he did not wish to marry, as he would then be obliged to leave the ( home of his parents. Mrs. Brooks was asked to identify the watch her son had worn when he was killed.

PARIS, March 15.—The Vicomte Chris- | tian de Villebois de Mareuil, a brother| of the hero of Boshof, South Africa, has | written to the British Government re-| questing permission to take a French ambulance to the Boers. He says the | ambulance is ready to start for South! Africa if Great Britain gives the neces- ! sary authomzation. The Vicomte would have made the request before, but was, deterred from so doing by the British re-: fusal to allow other ambulances to go to the Boers. Now, however, since General Delarey’s chivalrous release of General Methuen, the Vicomte thinks the British Govern- ment may consent to the French am- bulance going to the Boers.

In the large majority of cases weak- ness is found to be the result of an exhausted nervous condition, impov. erished blood or a local derangement of the pelvic system.
