What with the flit- ting about In the case of numerous pri- vate detectives, men and women, much eavesdropping ind the story of the recov- ery of Mrs. Robinson’s missing gold watch and chain from a stovepipe hole in the room formerly occupied by the Arnolds, there was much basis for the severe cross-examination by Attorney M.

The watch, according to Mrs. Robinson, | was found by a woman detective, one of a number employed from a private agency to uncover the mystery of the missing diamonds.

Both men wore red handkerchiefs over their faces as masks. They entered the saloon while the proprietor and three customers were playing a game of pool. Both men held revolvers. One remained near the door of the place and kept their victims covered while the other went *be- hind the bar and opened the cash register. After emptying the register, the burglar | commanded Sere to throw up his hands.

L e e e o] POLICE WIRES GUT IN TWAIN ‘Boxes Are Disconnected From the Central Station. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 26. Attack has been made on the fire alarm and police telegraph system of this city, | which is one of the most important safe- | guards for the protection of citizens and property in the municipal service. Wires connecting the police patrol boxes with the Central police station have been cut and this made useless a number of the call boxes and seriously in- terfered with the policing of the city. Failure last night of boxes to properly operate caused an investigation to be made to-day by Superintendent Babcock The search' for trouble located three cut lines | running from poles at Twenty-eighth and an Pablo av®- Twenty-second streets and nue. The wires had been severed, and the cuts showed that the work s not acel- dental, because other wires on the poles were not disturbed. Only those that ran directly from the boxes were thus parted, thereby causing the box to go out of ser- vice. Reports were filed to-night with the po- lice concerning the malicious act. Hitherto the wire-cutting that has been prevalent since the beginning of the tele- phone company's strike of linemen has been confined to wires and cables used by ille company. Last night's affair is new because of the danger in the cutting out of communication with police headquar- | ters. So serious is the matter that special instructions have been issued to all pa- trolmen to be vigilant in their watch for the perpetrators of the mischief. ports have also been given specfal consid- eration by the police officials with a view toward immediate precautionary steps. Coming on top of the slashing of a large underground cable at Twelfth and Clay streets Tuesday night, the episode has strong bearing on the linemen's strike in Oakland. The telephone officials feel that the cable cutting was done by somebody familiar with the location of the wires as well as with the necessary work to make | a good job of the separation. By Tuesday night's offense nearly 1400 telephones were disconnected from the main station. Repairs to the severad ca- ble were made by a force of expert elec- tricians from San Francisco. —_— Fix Franchise Conference. ALAMEDA, Aug. %.—City Clerk James W.

The Board of Public Works this after- noon adopted a resolution of against the applcation of the Southern Pacific Company to the United States Board of Harbor Engineers to change the pierhead and bulkhead .nes in the north arm of the estuary in order that the company may make its proposed fill of the trestles across the estuary at First and Seventh streets. The company purposes to cut the width of the waterway from 900 feet to 200 feet by filling on each side of the trestles for a distance of 330 feet. This move, opponen lp!:-gxi:xl:tely 3000 feet of available harbor frontage along each side of the estuary arm. Besides it is urged that there would be a serious interference with the proper hydraulic action of the tides upon Lake | Merritt by the reduction of the width of the water channel. It is also represented that the flushing of the main lake sewer would be seriously disturbed. These were some of the principal ob- jections raised to-day at the special meet- ing of the Board of Public Works.

The inquest into the death of Wayne McCloud; the young newspaper man who killed himself with a pistol last night while in the company of Miss Margaret L.

The verdict of the jury was that the unfortunate young man had come to his death by his own hand while temporarily deranged Miss Matthew's testimony was given through the medium of a deposition pri- vately taken by Coroner Mehrmann, as she was still too shocked to submit to an examination in public. She said she no- ticed McCloud acting peculiarly several months ago. While he was nearly al- ways cheerful he sometimes became de- spondent. She thought he was deranged, but believed he would recover if he had a long rest and she advised his giving up his work on the San Francisco Examiner. “He complained of a s feeling in his brai we were coming from the train last night I noticed that his face was flushed.
