The | Niles constable thinks that by nailing up the door of the calaboose and tying a dog in front of it as an extra precau- tion he can hold the prisoners until | they are given a preliminary hearing. | The burglars who held the Niles in such light esteem are Pearl >s and David Williams, youths who say they came recently from the East and who, from articles found in their | possession, had evidentiy started out deliberately on a career of crime. One night last week James and Wil- liams entered the store of Jackson & Easterby at Niles and took everything that they could find, inclu®ing some i jewelry and about $15 in money that they got from some slot machines. They then beat their way to Pleasan- ton, where they were arrested by Con- stable Locke and sent back to Niles. The two young fellows managed lo | hide a caseknife last night when they were served with dinner and with that they cut out the lock of the jail door, which was fastened on wood, and es- | caped. | They started for Oakiand and landed in Fruitvale this morning.

KX CAYLEY WRITES MIRACLE PLAY Head of the English Depart- ment at University Author of “The Star of Bethlehem™ —————— Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center street, Jan. 26. Professor Charles Mills Gayley, head of the department of English at the| University of California, is the author of a miracle play that was present2d at Chickering Hall in Boston for the first time yesterday. Its title is “The Star of Bethlehem,” the action being founded on the Bible story and dealing:| with the nativity, the passion and the resurrection. The gospel narrative is followed closely and the entire play is markedly simple. : Professor Gayley has taken his ma- terial from thirty old plays that weie | presented in the religious houses and | in the streets of England 600 years ago.4 He is an authority on the old English drama, being now engaged on a work dealing with the subject, and so has had access to many works, It is interesting to know that the play was staged under the direction of Ben Greet, manager of the company of English players that presented “Everyman” and “Twelfth Night” at the university so successfully last sum- mer. It was this same English com- pany that presented.the play. It has| been in preparation for some time and even Professor Gayley . was not iu-; formed of the progress of the arrangé- ments. ' A telegram réceived yesterday informed him that the play was about to be given. ————————— CHARITIES INDORSEMENT ‘COMMITTEE ORGANIZES Board of Representative Members Is Formed to Pass Upon Appeals to « Mérchants for Assistance.

Eimer of 1305 Weber street has re- ported to the police that her resi- dence was entered and looted yester- day afternqon between the hours of 1 and 5 o'clock while she was attending a whist party at a friend’s home. In- cluded in the articles taken by the burglar were eight old gold rings, a gold bracelet, $23 in silver, two gold dollars, a child’s bank containing $4 and an ebony cross bound with gold. Access to the house was obtained by the thief by means of a skeleton key, which was used in opening a rear door. It is the theory of the police that the theft is the work of some one that is familiar with the Eimer premisesand the habits of the members of the household.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 26.—George Rosen- berg of 1182 Broadway narrowly escaped being , drowned yesterday afternoon at the south end of Regent streef while swimming after a duck that he had shot. He was stricken with cramps when some distance out from the beach and was struggling helplessly when his plight was ob- served by Lionel Morell. The latter quickly went to’ the hunter’s assistance in a rowboat and after some effort succeeded in dragging Rosenberg into the craft. After being taken ashore and plied with stimulants Rosenberg recovered and was soon able to go to his home unaided. ——————— Josiah P. Ames’ Estate.
