Three peoble saw the robber dash from the front door of the grocery and make | oft down the middle of Twentieth street | toward York street. Mrs. Teresa Bahgo of 2632 Twentieth street, who was stand- ing on the_front steps of her house, first | set up the Try. The thug then ran within | ten feet of Mrs. E. Linquist, who was | sweeping the steps of her house at 2723 Tventieth street. Joe Norton, the third person who saw the robber first take flight and the only one to pursue him, was on the roof of his house at 2702 Twentieth street when the | shot rang eut and the man who had fired |it dashed down the street. With all speed Norton reached the street and gav pursult, although the fleeing man was al- ready a block ahead. Down Twentieth to York the robber ran, then turned into York street and made along Bryant to Efghteenth, down BEight- eenth to TFlorida street the footpad dnshed, then he. disappeared. Between Florida and Harrison streets, where the railroad runs, there is a vacant block ccvered with plles of lumber and refuse. Into this the robber dashed, and there the trafl ends, Norton immediately reported the matter to the Mission police station, and Officers and Esmond were hurried to the scene. Later Dctectives Graham and Fitzgerald were put on the case. They got a de- tafled description of the man who com- mitted the assault and traced his flight to Eighteenth and Florida streets, but there all trace of the miscreant was lost, and though they have gone over the Mission district thoroughly they have not ob- tained further clew to his whereabouts. The pistol with whigh the shooting was done has not been found. As soon as the wounded man's wife was apprised of the shooting she gave orders for her husband's removal to the German Hospital, which was accomplished at noontime. Dr. Draper, who gave iie wound {ts preliminary dressing, says that the bullet is probably lodged in the brain and that Tiedemann's chances for life are about equal. Dr. Conrad Weil, the chief surgeon, will probe for the bullet this' morning. A robbery occurred at the Gamon bak- ery, 2808 Twenty-fourth street, within two blocks of the scene of Tiedemann's shoot- ing, which leads the police to believe that the same man perpetrated both deeds. Tuesday a man answering the description of Tiedemann's assallant sought a posi- tion as a baker and was accepted. Ahout 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning, while the driver was absent on his route, the new baker took $5and a silver watch from the driver's trousers pocket and disappeared. ——————— NEW YORK, April 15.—All grades of re- fined sugar were advanced b cents per 100 wounds to-day. ges | speed to -Ninetéenth street, with Nolan| | behind him.

Assignment of Berths to the Pollard Steamship ” Company. The Board of State Harbor Commission- ers met yesterday, President Charles H. Spear in the chair. W. D. English, secretary of the board, presented his resignation and later in the day John M. Foy of Berkeley was se- lected his successor. English’s resignation was contained in the following communication: ident and Members of the Board of arbor Commissioners: I beg to { mit my resignation as secretary of this body, to take effect on the 20th inst., or thereafter as my successor can be elected and | qualifies, In taking this step I do so with keen regret, | | as the duties of the position have been both tions T desire to tender to | ing our official | this board my earnest wish that every suc- | | cess will be met with In its work of upbulilding !in the management and control of the water | front of this great city. | ana business experience of its members I know | the commisston will meet the wishes and re- quirements of the varied Interests having con- them. only add my sincere thanks for the ent of at your hands and I bespeak for my | successor the same forbearance and considera- tion. RESIGNATION ACCEPTED. President Spear, speaking to his asso- ciates on the board, inquired, “What is your pleasure?” Commissioner Kirkpatrick said, “It is with a great deal of regret that I move | the resignation be accepted.” | The motion was seconded by Commis- oner Mackenzie. The resignation was then accepted. - | President Spear in appointing Mr. Kirk- patrick a committee of one to prepar: a resolution expressive of the commission’s { regret in losing the services of so valu- able a seeretary remarked: “The an- ncuncement made to me by Mr. Engiish that he had resolved to resign came in the nature of a surprise. 1 am sure there was no Intention on the part of the bourd to remove him, as we recognized his abil- ity and experience. In his retirement we lose a very valuable man who has occu- pied high positions. Men of his character and standing are needed in the public ser- vice.” The selection of Foy to succeed English will come as a surprise not only to the politicians of the State but also to the politicians of Alameda County, where Mr. Foy and Chairman Spear both reside, for Foy has never tak- en any active interest in State politics, and even in Alameda County politics he is almost an unknown factor. But over in Berkeley Foy has been a friend of the man who is now the head of the Harbor Commission. Foy has resided quietly in Berkeley on ' Bancroft svay for a number of years. He was at one time connected with the Tay- lor Lumber Company and was secretary of a lumber concern that flourished in Oakland for some time. Of late he has been employed by the E. B. & A. L. Stone Company as an accountant. Mr. Foy last night refused to discuss the matter, ving that he had not yet been elected to the position, and until he was he would have nothing to say. Charles H. Spear, the chairman of the board, sald: “Mr. Foy’'s name has been mentioned as a candidate, but it can hardly be said that the matter is fixed. The sudden resignation of Willlam D. English has prevented a multitude of candidates for this very desirable posi- tion from springing up. It was thought that English would be permitted to hold | through a considerable portion of Gov- ernor Pardee's administration. !f not through it all, and so it was that when ready to throw themselves into the breac he suddenly resigned there were few ready to throw themselves intc the breach and save the State by accepting this office. sub- | as_soon | From the character | fcts of kindness that I have been the re- | ADVERTISEMENTS. | CAN NOW WORK instructive and agreeable to me, and in sever- | | | | OSALIE 0O.

Three Japanese passengers on the steamer Hongkong Maru, following the Oriental custom, resorted to bribery ves- terday morning and in consequence were | taken as United States prisoners to the County Jall of Alameda County. They had a quantity of silk handkerchiefs, in their baggage, which they wished to Jand without the payment of the customs dutles. After a conference two of the | prisoners gave Naol Nenomatsu $, which he offered to Customs Inspector | James J. Cantlen on condition that Cant | len should allow the goods to be landed free of duty. Cantlen, in the presence of two other inspectors, received and marked thé coin for identification. Then the prisoners were taken to the office of | the United States District Attorney, where they were served with warrants of arrest. Nenomatsu was charged with an at- tempt to smuggle by means of bribery, Shayi Seno was charged with alding in the attempt to bribe and Ide Tetsujiro | was charged with attempt to emuggle 500 cigars.
