The authorities at the University of California are trying to catch the thief an assgyer’s balance, worth from the ining building, last What he could do with the ma- chine, unless he is a student, passes the understanding of the sleuths, as it is nothing but old junk to anybody who not, acquainted with its intricacies.

The machine was stolen from the as- ¥ on the morthwest side 1g building. The burglar got into it by going through a window Not long ago this window was broken over the latch and it was easy for the miscreant to put his hand in and turn it o that he could paise the window. sirange coincidence is that a simi- nee was stolen from the min- who st 50, bora only two nights ago.

REPEAT EFFORT 10 BREAK JAIL Youthful Burglars Cat Their Way Out of a Cell, but Are Blocked at Large Front Door —_— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 27. Jail bars have no terrors for David Williams and Pearl James, the youth- ful burglars who escaped from the | Niles calaboose Monday night, were | recaptured yesterday and this morning bad worked their way out of a cell in the Centerville lockup. The pair had a neatly planned scheme to escape again foiled by the unexpected appear- ance of Deputy District Attorney A. P. Leach at the jail in company with Constable Roderick. James and Willilams were taken to the Centerville jail last night from this city. Before morning the boys had cut their way out of the cell and into the corridor, but the large outside door blocked them. Leach, who had gone | to Centerville to conduct the boys'' pre- liminary examination. went to the lock- up with Roderick. As the visitor entered the jail he saw James standing on one side of the door and Williams on the other side, ready to jump for freedom. But the unexpected appearance of the two men disconcerted the beys. Roderick had his wily guests handcuffed,and on the way to court before they had recov- ered from their surprise. The constable declares that if he had gone to the jail alone he would have been attacked by the " half-freed youths. Justice Sand- holdt held the boys for trial on charges of burglary. ————————— Funeral of Jockey Woods.

Without a sign of ceremony the first shovelful of earth was turned this morning from the site of the University of California where the walls of Cali- ‘fornia Hall will rise. The conventions were entirely shunned in the start-off | of this important undertaking, and it might have been the excavation for a hen coop for all that anybody seemed to care. Early in the morning the con- tractor for the digging, William J. Schmidt, arrived with his men and teams and set them to burrowing into the ground. There was absolutely no sentiment, no ceremony, no speechify- ing. The contractor’s pick and shovel men began prodding alomg a line that was defined by the stakes and strings of the surveyors a while ago. These stakes and strings mark out a site that is a few hundred feet west of old North Hall and near the tennis court and baseball diamond. It is on a slope that is partly artificial ground. In order to get down to hard pan, upon which the foundations will rest, Contractor Schmidt must excavate some 4400 cubic yards of this artificial ground. This will require at least a month’s work. After that the concrete foundation will be put in by the Contra Costa Construction. Company, of which Guy Hyde Chick is the president. It will take 35,000 cubic yards of cement and gravel to complete the foundations and will require at least 100 days of work. California Hall 1s to cost $250,000, that sum having been appropriated for it by the last State Legislature. It will be built entirely of stone, steel, concrete and glass, thus making it an entirely fire-proof building. There will practical- ly four floors in the buflding that can be used. The basement will contain the vaults, ventilating apparatus and stor- age rooms. The first floor will contain classrooms and an auditorium, with a seating capacity of 500 people. On the second floor will be the administrative offices of the university—the offices of the president, secretary, recorder and a meeting-room for the Board of Re- gents. In the attic will be storage apartments and files for the preserva- tion of the university archives. Contracts for the steel structural and stone work will be let as soon as the foundation is laid. The kind of stone to be used has not yet been selected, but it will probably be Raymond granite, the same a% that being used on the Hearst mining building. The roof will be tiled with Spanish tiles. It will take eighteen months to finish the building if all goes well. UNIVERSITY EVENTS AR RN ' BERKELEY, Jan, 27.—Miss Elizabeth M.

William J. Yore, the nephew of the | late Mrs. Mary Canning, the wealthy Church, has declared his belief that he has been disinherited by the aunt whom he served for twenty years as confi- dentjal agent and manager of her large estate. On the eve of the old lady’s funeral, cence, there has been made public the | story of the estrangement of the aunt and her nephew, who was her nearest kinsman. Yore, with his sister, Mrs. Nellie Davitt, wife of Michael Davitt, relations with their aunt until the sep- | aration occurred. Mrs. Davitt long ago | Yore was in the aunt's family until his marriage, to which the elderly lady, it is said, took exception and compelled her nephew to withdraw from her household. Deeply embittered is the nephew, who declares he was not permitted to see his aunt before her death. Yore says he is convinced that he has been dis- inherited by Mrs. Canning, but the idea is not based on definite knowledge con- cerning what Mrs. Canning might have dome toward making a will Some time before the old lady sold the Canming block at the southwest | corner of Broadway and Thirteenth street to Henry A. Butters, Yore, whe had charge of the building., was de posed. He was succeeded by Joseph Kenney, a former letter carrier. Yore Geclares one of the reasons for the| trouble with his aunt was because he objected to the sale of the building. He said that prejudice had been en- gendered against him and that he feit convinced he' would not receive a nephew's share under his aunt's will if she left one. “I have no personal knowledge on the subject of Mrs. Canning’s will,” ex- plained Yore to-night, “and I therefore cannot say now whether there will be | litigation or not. In many matters 1 was treated unjustly by my aunt. It was only by accident I learned she was | ill, and T feel that there has been much in the conduct of those about her to which I can take exception.” During her lifetime Mrs. Canning, who was of a deeply religious nature, gave much to the church in whose faith she had lived. As the benefac-f tress of St. Francis de Sales parish, Mrs. Canning gave nearly $150,000 to | erect and maintain its fine church edi- fice. With the pastor, the Rev. Thomas McSweeney, Mrs. Canning enjoyed a lifelong friendship. Father McSweeney said to-night: “I am in no way connected with the making of Mrs. Canning’s will. In fact, I advised her to have no priest appear in the disposition of her estate, because 1 knew of the annoyance sometimes | caused in such matters. Mrs. Can- ning’'s friendship had been lifelong with me, and her great generosity to this parish was well known. I do not know how she has disposed of her { estate.” Mrs. Canning’s fortune is said to be close to $500,000. The Canning block alone was sold for $295,000. e —————— FLECT MEN FOR AND TRIAL JURORS JUDGES GRAND Long List of Those Qualified Is Sub- mitted for the Ensuing Year.

For a week a young man, who gave the name of George Fuller, has tius been working in this city, the scheme being recorded as an entirely original one to the de- tectives in Oakland. First the thief stole three good bi- eycles. With one of the wheels he called at the J. P. Maxwell Company's store and after much persuasion was induced to purchase a valuable shot- gun. To make the trade satisfactory the customer left his bicycle as se- curity for the weapon. That was the last seen of the man with the gun. The police were notifled and they learned that the pledged wheel was a stolen one. The same trick was successfully worked on the Pierce Hardware Com- pany and at J. W. Orear's establish- ment. The three bicycles have been claimed by their owners. But the guns are still missing. * e ———— OAKLAND, Jan. 27.—Councilman Cuvellier has made public a request from Eighteenth street residents that the thoroughfare shall be lined with palms west of Market street in har- mony with the beautifying of West Sixteenth~ and =West Sevénteenth streets.
