Edward -Ryan, Richard Hart, Frank Burke and Eddie Burke, boys whose ages range from 15 to 18° years, have been arrested as members of an organized gang of bicycle thieves, who are respon- sible, the police declare, for the disappear- ance of a Jarge number of wheels during the last few weeks. On Monday alone nine machines were reported stolen from the business section. Ryan and the Burke boys, the latter brothess, were seen by policemen to take three wheels from a sidewalk stand at the corner of Washington and Thirteenth streets. Their arrest was followed by the capture of Hart, who was taken after arriving from Alvarado, where three sto- len bicycles had been sold. Another wheel stolen in this city was sold three hours later in San Jose. De- tective Quigley has gone to the interior cities to locate more of the purloined machines.

Property of the Red Cross Mining Company Is Now in Danger. PEAEESTE G NEVADA, Aug. 12—A wide stretch of country In the vicinity of Omega is being swept by a fierce fire and already an im- mense amount of damage has been done. The fire burned briskly Sunday, but was finally checked, and it was then thought that all danger had passed, but the blaze | broke out afresh yesterday and last night it was more furious than ever. Several hundred acres have beéen burned over. The flames were traveling east toward Diamond Creek last night, laying waste everything in their path. The property of the Red Cross Mining Company is.in im- minent danger. It is reported that several of the older buildings on the property have been wiped out. The sawmill at Red Cross has also been partly burned, a por- ! tjon of the flume has met a similar fate and the remainder is in danger of de- struction. It is more than likely that 200 head of cattle belonging to Mr. Thompson, a cat- tleman who makes his headquarters sev- eral miles below Grass Valley, have per- ished in the fire. The animals are known to have been in the path of the flames and it 'is hardly probable that they suc- ceeded in making their way to a place of safety. The fire is now raging in the mountain forests and it will doubtless take several days to get it under control. Fire fighters are battling hard in an effort to subdue it. GRASS VALLEY, Aug. 12—This city by two disastrous fires the past fifteen hours. Noell's and dwelling-house adjoining were destroyed this morning and a dwell. ing owned by Thomas Quinn of San Francisco was burned Tuesday. This morning’s fire started in a house occu- pied by Willlam Trebilcox and family. Mrs. Trebilcox was taken from the burn- ing building through a windqow. Her hus- band then re-entered the hbuse to res- within | cue their baby. He was overcome by | smoke, but both he and the child were rescued by firemen. —————— PLEASURE.

Mrs. Wilhelmina Willlams, the bereaved wife, declared to the jury at the Morgue this afternoon that her husband left her on the evening of July 31, their first da at home after returning from a two day: wedding trip to San Jose. “We were perfectly happy,” said Mrs. Willlams, “and there had been no trouble of any kind. My husband said he would have to go because he was required to re- port aboard the steamer. That was the last I heard from him. He appeared in the best of spirits.” Captain Albert Lockett, master of the Algoa, also testified, ‘but he was equally ignorant of any cause that might have led Williams to end his life.

Decide to Abandon the Al- drich Measure of Last Session. Special Dispatch to The Call. OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 12.—Cur- rency legislation was the subject of a long conference held on short notice at Sag- amore Hill to-night. It was participated in by President Roosevelt, nator Nel- son W. Aldrich of Rhade Island) Senator William B. Allison of Iowa, Senator O. H. Platt of Connecticut and Senator John C. Spooneg of Wisconsin. It was by far the most important con- ference held at President Roosevelt's | country home this summer, because it was held for the purpose of determining in a general way the character of the bill which shall be .introduced at the extra session of Congress. The arrangement for the visit of the Senators was made by Senator Spooner, who was in New York en Monday and who arrfved at Senator Aldrich’'s home, Warwick, R. I, vesterday. There Sena- tor Spooner found Senators Aldrich, Platt and Allison, who had assembled to put into. the form of a bilt the joint re- sult of their individual cogitations, which Senate adjourned. ' When the Senators got together it was found that President Roosevelt had some very clearly defined ideas about the leg- islation that is in contemplation. VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Roosevelt had caused it to be known that while it was desirable that the Bill to be passed should have the practically united support of-the Republicans of the Senate and House, it was also important that the measure should-be on broad lines and not open to the charge that it was pianned to make it easy for the banks to get_money out of the treasury in order to lend it when stock speculators ‘“‘get into a hole.” ‘While thé Senators would not discuss the detalls of the bill, they made it clear that they brought with them, in concrete form, a statement of the various proposi- tions to which they have agreed. No draft of the bill was brougnt. It can be asserted that the Aldrich bill of last session has been abandoned, al- though some of the features which it con- tained may be found in the new bill. The proposition to secure Government deposits on railroad, municipal and country bonds, instead of Government bonds, so that the Government bonds could be released. to be put up for additional circulation, has met much opposition in the West. This feature, it is said, has been dropped. It is probable that the first thing in the bill will be a provision for the deposit of customs receipts in banks. The problem of an emegeney circulation, based on the | assets of a bank, to be retired when the emergency passes, has been discussed in | a half-dozen different forms. | HOUSE LEADERS' ATTITUDE. A provision looking to temporarily in- creasing the cireulation has been formu- lated and was laid before the President to-night. The most hopeful sign that something may be accomplished is the growing feel- ing among Senators that they will be able {o agree with the leaders of the House. | To get harmony it is necessary to adopt a policy of “‘give and take,” and this pol- icy is being pursued. It is reported that Representative Can- non of Iilinois, who is to be Speaker of the next House, has shown a disposition to meet the Senators half-way. What Cannon has been urging is that the bill shall not be loaded down with too much. He will give his support to a reasonable measure which supplies an emergency cir- | culation to provide funds in time of strin- | gency for the movement of crops. He also is supposed to be willing to favor a bill | which will permit customs receipts to be deposited in national banks. e — POPE PIUS RECOVERS . FROM SUDDEN ILLNESS Walks in Vatican Gardens and Grants Audiences to Distin- guished Visitors. ROME, Aug. 12.—The Pope this morning left his apartments for the first time since his fainting spell, going for a walk in the Vatican gardens. He remained in the open air about two hours and re- turned to the palace feeling much bet- ter. All that remains of yesterday's col- | lapse is a slight feeling of lightness in the head.

The request was im- mediately granted and the installation will be made at the Government's ex- pense. —_— INVESTED WITH PALLIUM. Archbishop Farley Receives Token From Mgr. Falconio.

Falconio, Apostolic Delegate to the United States, in St. Pat- rick's Cathedral to-day. The delegates and laymen composing the guests of honor assembled in the dio- cegan house and marched to the arch- episcopal residence, where the prelates Jjoined them. ‘When Archbishop Farley, after the march from the arch-episcopal residence, reached the main entrance of the cathe- dral, he was met by the Rev.

South Berkeley Location to Be Kept by the Cor- poration. PSS Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 12. The Southern Pacific Company has de- cided that it will proceed with the devel- opment of its freight yards in South Ber- keley and to-day the deeds to the proper- ty were placed on file by the corporation. This act, together with the completion of the crossing of the Oakland Transit Com- that the two corporations came to an agreement while the people were holding meetings and denouncing railroads. The Southern Pacific Company has held the deeds to the property in question for | some. time. It was purchased when the | agitation for the removal of the freight yards from the center of Berkeley to some more remote point was started. Then began the trouble over the granting of a franchise for the Southern Pacific | to cross the street and enter the new yards. The people in the melghborhood | protested against the location of the | Yards at that point, and the franchise has been hung up in the Beard of Trus- tees for seyeral weeks. Meanwhile the Southern Pacific Com- pany could not get its tracks built into the new yards, and the Oakland Transit Company could not connect its track be- tween East Berkeley and Emeryville. The matter was settled last Sunday | when _the corporations got together and placed the tracks and crossings upon the line of an old track that the Southern Pa- eifie Company owned. The filing of the | deeds to-day settled the fact that the | Southérn Paeific Company is to have its | yards at that point whetHer it gets the franchises asked for or not.” There were thirteen lots transferred, a nominal con- sideration being named in each case. —_——— "SENATOR’S GUESTS ILL OF PTOMAINE POISONING Stewart Serves Cold Storage Beef to Prospective Buyers of Dairy Farm.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 12 There are many people who would like to know the whereabouts of D. Gruber, late of San Francisco, but later of Rock- well City, Towa, but latest of Fruitvale. Most of those who are looking for Gru- ber would like to Ccollect bills. Gruber arrived in Oakland some weeks ago and began looking for a house. He flashed a big business card, which read: D. GRUBER. General Contractor and Superintendent Heavy Buildings a_Specialty. References—Security Bank, First Nauonal Bank and Rockwell City Canning Company. Rockwell City, lowa, J. L. Wood and Ed Croak, Waterloo, Iowa. ‘When Gruber told people how much he liked Oakland; that he wanted to live In this city, buy property and open a busi- ness here, he flattered the business men of the city. The card looked as if he were a man of considerable business standing: his references sounded good, and the line, “Heavy Buildings a Specialt suggest- ed more than a man with a earpenter's pencil and saw. The first one who did any business with D. Gruber was Walter E. Logan, a real estate man. Gruber wanted to buy prop- erty, but Mr. Logan was adroit and de- manded money. So Gruber selected a house in Fruitvale and paid a month's rent, with the understanding that this was to apply upon the purchase price as soon as his money arrived from the East. Then D. Gruber moved into the house. He bought a handsome and extensive outfit of furniture from C. W. Kinsey. payment to bé made when his money ar- rived from the East. Other supplies were secured, but the payment was always to be made when the money came. Meanwhile Mr. Logan became a little suspicious, so he wrote to the references given on the card. This is the reply from the First National Bank: Dear Sir: In reply to your inquiry about D. Gruber, will say that I consider his referring | you to this bank as the last act in the littie farce we have been playing for about two n when he gave us his out $30. He has woven around this note such a web of romance and fiction that if the impossible should ever hap- pen and he should pay it, We should be al- most sorry to let it go. Such colossal nerve as his in referring to this bank reaches into the reaims of the ludicrous. and I hope you will therefore pardon such a letter. Yours truly, J. F. HUTCHISON, Assistant Cashier. The other letters were even stronger, and when Mr. Logan started an Investi- gation as to Gruber's actions in Oakland he found that the bird had flown, leav- ing numerous bills. Now the creditors of Mr. Gruber believe tnat he was detected before he had time to complete his scheme of buying property upon a small deposit and then selling or mortgaging it. As it is there are several merchants who have suffered at the hands of the man with the “heavy bullding™ card. —— e —— Abracadabra Club Men Lose.
