The recommendations agreed upon by the executive committee at the meeting Monday evening next may be ratified by the State committee. Questions touching the methods of se- lecting delegates to the convention will ely be considered. There is an earnest ire upon the part of Republican vot- rs of the State for opportunity to par- pate in the election of Gelegates. De- al of this opportunity will subject the ttee 10 deserved censure and pro- tici, n discord in the party. Oppose Appointment of Delegates. The manner of electing delegates to nt the cities of San Francisco, Los Alameda, Berkeley, not be changed by the committee. Poll ticians of the (Gage machine expected in the campaign that the Supreme t would overthrow the law but the e of public sentiment in favor of the impelled the bosses to change their it is quite well understood that workers attached to the Gage ma- will do whatever they can under encourage the appointment of ates by county committees. There , however, in the executive committee a strong sentiment in favor of the prin- of requiring all - delegates to be by primary elections. The Gage tac the chine r to count cision would be rendered, the county committee. It v he power of the State Central Com- mittee to recognize the people or refuse t them recognition. The reference no other resuit than a big crop of con- testing delegations. There is more at stake than the office of Governor, Repre- s in Congress and Justices of the Supreme Court are to be nominated. What is wanted is a fair deal and 4 chance for ction of delegates to the convention. ters will resent county committee ap- pointments by holding primaries and elect- ing other Melegates. The issue will thus passed up to the convention's commit- tee on credentials. Fight for Chairmanship. Vhile the Republicans of the State who battling for good principles and party success have not united on.a candidate to oppose the Gage machine, they have, by common consent, decided to support Hon. Jacob H. Neff of Placer for chair- man of the convention. The friends of Preston, Flint, Pardee, Edson, Short and Cutter are willing to trust Governor Neft, knowing that he will not take orders from Burns and Herrin. George Knight is recognized as Gage's candidate for chair- man of the convention. No doubt many - delegates ) Governor Neff and some may get instruc- tions to support Knight. The Gage manipulators will not be able to pro- gramme the ticket from top to bottom if The convention organizes by electing Nef | chairman NO WAR TAX STAMPS ON STOCKS IN ESCROW Treasury Department Decides That for the Present They Will Not Be Required.

Eight Thousand Dollars in Gold Is Almost Wit-hi.n Their Grasp. Some accidental and unexplained inter- ference early yesterday morning prevent- | ed one of the most daring and sensational safe-cracking exploits that has occurred in this city within recent years. An at- made to gain entrance to the of Johnson & Higgins, insurance , on the second floor of the build- ing at 315 California street, some time after midnight. The outer door of the| afe was bored through and the bars to | the lock melted in twain by a powerful electric battery. One hole was started in the inner door, but for some unaccount- | able reason the burglars did not complete their work. Beyond the inner door of the safe I over 38000 in gold coin and negotiable curities valued at more than $16,00. With the outfit possessed by the safe crackers another half-hour would have put them | | within reach of this treasure and they | | would have escaped with the plunder. The | tools are the only evidence through which | their identity may become known. | The outfit of safe-cracking tools re- covered by the police at the scene of the \ attempted job is worth, commercial least 3500, and is the finest and most plete ever captured in this city. Every tool that criminal ingenuity could devise to expedite and lighten the work of open- | ing vauilts, and all of them of the finest workmanship, comprised the collection. In addition to these there was a strong electric battery, capable of generating a current that would instantly meit steel bars. The tools completely fllled a large sack and were the object of much interest from detectives at police head- quarters. Janitor Makes the Discovery. | William Henderson, the janitor of the building, discovered the attempted crime | at 4:3) in the morning. He had zome to | his work slightly earlier than usual and | opened the outer door of Johnson & Hig- | | gins’ office with his passkey. He passed | | into the inner office and was startled to | | find the door of the safe swung open and | | a quantity of drills, braces, bits, feeders | and other burglar tools scattered around | | on the floor. A glance convinced him that | the inner door to the safe was still intact. He went downstairs at once and found Special Policeman Wigmore, who is em- | ployed as watchman on the block. Word was telephoned to police headquarters and | a patrol wagon with Detectives Reynolds | and Armstrong went immediately to tie place. The detectives found that the safe crackers had gone about their work with the utmost deliberation. They had at- | tached a peculiar kind of lamp to the electric light wires in the room and by | the rays of this they bored four hol into the safe door. There is a high d in the room alongside the, safe which | kept the light from showing'at the tran- | som or at the windows. Work of Clever 'Crooks. No locks were broken on the doors tn | either of the offices and it-is supposed | that the burglars gained entrance-to the | room by climbing through the windows | from :the adjoining building. The win- | is an unusual | occurrence in the office, and none of the | clerks or proprietors can recall that th were left open at the close of busines: | the evening before. In the sack which contained the tools Detective Reynolds found a memorandum book in which there was some data, from | which he expects to gain a clew fo the | bold operators. What he learned from the book he would not divulge. The police believe that a gang of Chi- cago safe-crackers have recently arrived in the city and that this is thelr first at- tempt at doing a job. The locality chosen is an especially dangerous-one, as it 15 E8 | | | | as large sums of money are always on hand in the offices of business men in that section. The acquaintance with the prem- ises shown by the burglars evidences ex- treme care in their preparations and marks them as particulagly dangerous in this line of work. Ever§y effort will be made to apprehend them§ and it is be- lieved that they will either be caught or else compelled to leave the city before they can secure another kit of tools and resume operations. | TU.

B 3 CHOKE AND ROB AN OLD CITIZEN Two Thugs Hold Up Thomas McCoy at His Home, Thomas McCoy, an old man Iliving in the rear of 314 Third street, was robbed by two men about o'clock yesterday afternoon in his residence. One of them grasped him by the throat and choked him, while the other went through his pockets, securing his gold watch and chain and about $350 in silver. - The old man was warned that if he made any outery he would be strangled to death. After robbing him the two thugs ran away. McCoy notified the police, ani in less than half an hour Detectives R>gan and O'Connell and Policeman Harry O'Day arrested one of the robbers in 2 room at 316 Third street. He had been living there for about three weeks, and the po- lice believe his object was to watch for a time when the old man had money in the house from rents collected. The pris- oner gave his name as James Crombhe, and after being identified by McCoy as the thug who went through his pockets he was booked at the City Prison on a charge of robbery. The officers have an accurate description of the other thug and his arrest soon is certain. McCoy was in the house alons at the time. e has two sons, who live with him, but both were attending to their business. One is Peter McCoy, the well known baseball player. The old man was for years head man for the late Senator James G. Fair, and amassed a comfort- able fortune. He owns a number of houses in the 300 block on Third street, among them being the one where Crombhe had a room. The old man had seen him in the house when calling for the rent and was able to at once recog- nize him when he came in to rob him. He does not know the other man, but would be able to promptly identify him. LARGE REALTY SALE ON MISSION STREET Charles Holbrook Purchases Dalziel Property at Handsome Advance Over Original Price.

Walton died of pneumonia yesterday morning at his resi- dence, 3955 Eighteenth street. Walton had been connected with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for fif- teen years was in charge of the pub- lic pound for the t\three years.

The story of the bold assault on Miss Ma- grane was told exclusively in The Call of vesterday morning. Msz Magrane was walking home from her sister’s house, which is located at the corner of Ful- ton and Devisadero stréets, and when she reached the corner of Buena Vista ave- nue and Halght street she was set upon by jhe unknown miscreant and thrown to the ground. The footpad tried to stiffe the young lady’s screams by chok- ing her with a plece of wire, which he threw over her head in the form of a noose. Fortunately for Miss Magrane the thug was scared off before he could rob her. The young lady was still suffering from the shock yesterday.and:was unabloc to talk to Detectives Bell and Dillon. Her sister informed the officers that the un- fortunate young lady would be unable to identify the man because he wore a mask. All the assaulted girl remembers is that he was short and stbckily built. With his meager description to work upon the officers began their investiga- | tions. - The' only clew in their possession is the wire that the man used in his daring attempt at robbery. They searched the park very carefully for the mask used by the ruffian, but . their efforts were in vain. Mrs, Dr. Ragan, who saw.the assault, stated that it occurred under her win- dow.- She heard the screams of Miss Magrane and raised the window to see what was the trouble. As soon as she saw the man struggling with the young lady she screamed. The ruffian then looked up at her and she noticed he was masked. Frightened at the screams emitted by Mrs. Ragan and his victim, the. man. tried fo grasp Miss Magrane's diamond earrings, and, failing in this, rushed up the pathway into the park and disappeared. The assault was a particularly daring one. It was a bright night and the thug tried to rob his ‘victim on a street that was far from being deserted because of people walking home. He had followed the young lady for more than a block. Intuftively she knew she was being fol- lowed and was_on the point of rushing to Dr. Ragan's house for protection when she was grabbed from behind. The mis- | creant threw his wire over the young lady’s head and in- turning sharply around she wrenched one of the ends out of his hand. k L e e e e e Issues License for New Bank.

BY WHOLESALE Braun Admits He Plundered for Many Months, Half a Hundred Thefts Are Traced to a Cunning Stranger. Swell bets on the ponies and a love for fast life are the inducing causes given by Martin Braun for becoming a thief. For three months or more he has been looting the private offices of dentists and doctors, and has secured in that space of time biunder to the amount of $3000. Braun dressed well, lived the easy life of a man about town and roomed in com- tortabie_apartments at the Golden West Hotel. Since the first or the year com- plaints have been comung 1 to police ueadquarters of articles missing from gentists’ and doctors' ofhices, and always | accvlnpanying tnese was a description of a well-dressed stranger of affabie man- ner, who when askea his business would inquire where he could secure the serv- ices of a trained nurse. It wasn't a nurse he needed, but a policeman. On April 7 a suit case containing dental supplies to the value of 51309 was stolen from an office in San Jose. The supplies belonged to J. W. Rooch, 916 Market street, and he made a report to the San Francisco police. Detectives Ryan and O’Lay succeeded in locating some of this stuff in a pawnshop, and the description given of the seller tallied with that of the mnan in search of a nurse. He told the pawnbroker he had some more stuff to sell, and the detectlves shadowed the place for three days, waiting for the thief’s return. He did not come back, but he went to Oakland yesterday and called on a doctor, who became suspicious and telephoned ~Chief Hodgkins, who placed the suspect under arrest. Word was telephoned to the detective depart- ment of this city and Detectives Ryan lt‘l’?g bO’Day brought the prisoner across ay. Braun admitted that he had been steal- ing at every opportunity for several months past, and gave the detectives in- formation which led to the recovery of a large amount of the loot. A violin valued at 3300, which was ‘stolen from Dr. Radesky of Alameda on March 28, was re- coyered and also about $1000 worth of sutgical instruments and dental supplies. In Braun's rooms at the Golden West Wwas a large amount of clothing and other plunder which he had taken from restau- rants and theaters. Nearly everything that was movable looked good to him, and he admits plying his trade at every opportunity. Altogether there are about fifty separate thefts, the responsibility for which he has acknowledged. It is thought by the police that he has a criminal rec- ord elsewhere. Nearly all of the stolen articles will eventually be recovered.

Riley, charged with | the “murder of Otto Ekbert, a non-union teamster, on Townsend street, between Third and Fourth, on November 9, was continued before a jury in Judge Cook's court yesterday.
