SOLDIERS OF THE STATE IN REVIEW WITH REGULARS Boys of the Militia Have Their First Tryout on the Field at Atascadero, Presenting a Pretty Scene VALISE THIEF TRAPPED IN FERRY BUILDING Robert Benson Is Cleverly Caught by the Police With a Baited Suitcase. ¢ complaints have come to the nd around the ticket offices of ry building, and yesterday a trap, baited with a suit-case, aught a thief. y case was prepared and n a waiting- where it could be found by the man looking for things m, P n James McGowan and Thomas Conlon of the Harbor Police station, wearing plain clothes, placed s where they could not be 8 the po le thief. Presently a young felloW came saun- tering along through the arcades of the big building, apparently on a tour observation. He strolled into the room, looked around and d out. But he did not go far ¥ from the locality. He did not no- = the two men who were so intently up Market street, but he care- noted Sergeant Tom Mohoney, who was gallantly showing a handsome blonde lady the way to the Stockton boat. That officer was too far away and too busy to be dangerous, so the voung fellow walked back into the waiting-room. He looked at the time-table on the wall and then picked up the nice new suit case lying so temptingly in the corner of the empty apartment. He moved with a business-like air across | East street and was about to board a when the two policemen over- hauled him. Their inquiries as to where he got the case met with an in- dignant reply. He insisted that it was his property. When they opened it and showed him that it was loaded with several sticks of wood he weakened and confessed that he saw the grip ownerless and alone in the waiting- room and just took it along. He thought he might as well have it as any other stranger. At the police station, where he'was charged with petty larceny, he gave his name as Robert Benson, oc- cupation a sailor. { Several days ago a young man ner- | {veus and hurried came into the Ferry | building, set his suit case down and stepped to the ticket window. When he returned the case was gone and with it his wedding suit, the license and the ring that was for a girl across the bay. After that bridegroom-not-to- be-that-day had recovered a little from the mighty jar of his loss he went to | the police station for assistance in the firding of his lost property and to the clerk’s office for a duplicate license. ‘When the wedding came off next day he stood up in his business raiment and wondered what girl his fine, made-to- order suit was hovering around then. A young lady bound for Santa Cruz last week lost a dainty suit case while She re- turned home from her visit to the city- by-the-sea sooner than she expected, because in the case was a smart bath- ing dress she Intended to wear, but didn’t. An elderly man hurrying for the Ma- rin County golf links became separated from his suit case full of tweeds and after a bitter denunciation at the po- lice station of the man who is now wearing out his clothing went back heme. The Harbor police officers are encour- aged by their first day’s fishing for suit-case thieves and wiu plant thelr bait in the Ferry waiting rooms for more captures. —————— Railroad Men to Dine. ‘The members of the Transportatien Club are whetting their appetites in anticipation of an enjoyable repast next Friday evening, when they will be the guests of Carleton C.

GILMORE. ’ aft Correspondent of The Call ATASCADERO, Aug. 14—The first day here in camp of the militia has passed off in a quiet manner, becoming the day we observe. The booming of the cannon at sun- rise brought everybody in the camp from his couch and by 6 o'clock all were out in the field ready for the day's programme. At 8:30 the entire First Brigade, com- | posed of the provisional regiment, U. S. A., Colonel Pitcher commanding; the | Sixth Infantry, N. C., Colonel R. K. | Whitmore in command; the Seventh Infantry, N. G. C., Colonel S. H. Fen- ley commanding, and the First Battery | Artillery, Major H. P. Bush command- | ing, passed in review on the south parade ground before Colonel Alfred C. Markley, the commander of the brigade. A large crowd, considering the early { hour of the morning, was perched on the sloping hills under the big oaks | | and expressed complimentary remarks as the different organizations passed by. Shortly after 10 o’clock short re- gious services were held by the dif- t troops at their own headquar- t | At 5 o'clock the Second Brigade, com- posed of the Fifteenth Infantry, U. S. | A., in command of Colonel E. B. Pratt; | the First Infantry, N. G. in com- mand of Colonel Thomas F. O'Neil; the Second Infantry, N. G. C., in command of Colonel H. I ymour; the Infantry, N. G. C., Colonel J. F. Hayes mmanding, and the Third Squadron, inth Cavalry, U. 8. A, troops A, B, C and D, N. G. C., in command of Colonel | E. A. Goodwin, passed in review before Colonel Henry C. Ward. The afternoon was warm and pleas- ant and a tremendous crowd from miles around came to see the soldiers drill, as they expressed it. They were evi- dently much surprised by the combina- tion of Uncle Sam's troops and the militia, judging from their expressions of approval, which they freely uttered on all sides. | _ This evening the weather was superb, being very clear with a brilliant new moon to add light to the scene. The usual band concert was. given at 8§ o'clock. All the roads in this vicinity are be- ing ofled, and by the latter part of the week will be in splendid shape. . To- morrow the evolutions will take place in the camp grounds, and on Tuesday the battle exercises begin in dead earn- est. Adjutant General J. E. Laucke ar- rived in camp to-day and is now in- stalled in quarters adjoining those of General MacArthur on the bank over- looking the big camp. He was met at | Asuncion by Major P. W. West with the Government automobile, and after a speedy run of fifteen minutes to the camp he was escorted to the headquar- ters here, where he was received by General MacArthur. After friendly greetings were exchanged Colonel Joce- lyn, Major West and Captain Winn joined the party and General Laucke was shown from a point the great field of tents that represents the temporary homes of something like 5000 officers and enlisted men. He was greatly sur- prised and pleased at what he saw. He will remain in camp here several days. N. A. Junker, the manager of the Paso Robles Hotel, announces that he will give a large reception and dance on Saturday night as a compliment to the officers of the Federal and State troops who are now in camp here.

An unusually slim crowd was in evidence yesterday at the park and beach. The fog-chilled breezes kepts most folk indoors. Those who ven- tured forth returned homeward after a rhort stay. The Chutes benefited by the inclement weather and many con- gregated in the theater, where they | were: protectad from the cold. The California Commandery of the | Knights Templar, mounted on black | horses, went through their military | maneuvers on the ocean boulevard in the morning. The knightly horsemen, | four score in number, were drilled by | four | score in number, were drilled iby R. S. Hurlbut. .In spite of | the cold the drill attracted | many to the scene and not a little amusement was afforded by the evi- dent lack of harmony between some of the riders and their steeds. Un- certain seats are growing more se- cure, however, and by the time of the jconclave every Knight will sit his h like one of Uncle Sam's own alry troopers. —_—————— Large Alarm, Small Fire. Murch alarm and little fire called out the Fire Department at about 9:30 |last night. A ring from box 114 and another from box 95 sent the engines to 949 Market street, where a fire was under way in the tailor shop of L. Mink, situated on the second floor of the building. When the firemen entered the room they found no per- son present. The fire originated in a |small charcoal stove. The flames | were soon extinguished and a fireman | was left in charge of the premises. i_\Vth L.

Hubert Judge, employed by Bovee, | Toy & Co. and living at 153 Fifth | street, while crossing Market and Kearny streets about 11 o’clock last mght was knocked down by a car. He was treated at the Central Emergency Hospital for numerous bruises about the body and a possible fracture of the skull. —_—————— Loses a Diamond. M.

Some littla consternarion was tarown into camp to-day when it was discov- ered that some of the militia had not come uniformed in the style expected of them, in order to take sides desig- inated to them in some of the exercises, Some of the maneuvers demand that one side shall be uniformed in brown the militia were in blue.

Kelly, who introduced him- self to the city last night, is king of | them all. He was crowned by accla- | mation and with laughter last night. | Old, blase habitues of the O'Farrell- | street vaudeville shop, who wouldn't laugh for a salary, doubled up and ha- | haed out loud under the laughingitis | spell cast by this wizard of smiles. | You had to giggle, even if the last notch in your meal ticket was punched | twice and your mother-in-law was due | in the morning. | | And all Kelly's humor was real.

It was like Judge Mogan's | icourt on a busy day. All the while | regular Sunday-nighters were tying themselves into knots with laughter. i Therefore, hail ‘“King” Kelly, mono- logist. Long may he live to hand out { his abundance of heated atmosphere. | There were two jag scenes on the bill, both of them emphatically realistic. | Ernmet Devoy imitated genteel in- ebriation and Louis Pritzhow did a steam-beer drink stunt. These imita- | tions were so lifelike that a soldier who had three shtets in the wind had it out | with Harry Orndorf, the stage man- ager: “Shay, ole man, this drunk imi- tashun bishness isn’t personal, is it?” asked the intoxicated boy in blue. | | The Original Madcaps displayed the usual amount of attractive black stocking and lively girl.

Numerous complications in matrimony and plots to get rid of the burdensome mother-in-law form the material of the comedy. Neill is unusually good in the part of ! Adolphus Doubledot, who is compelled to seek a divorce from his first wife on account of his mother-in-law's invasion of his home. He marries again, only to once more meet his old-time mother- in-law. The father of his second wife, while on a vacation, marries Double- dot’s first wife and brings her back to the son-in-law’s home. This mix-up keeps the audience in a fit of laughter. Lillian Andrews, as the mother-in- law, is hilarfously funny and gives an excellent impersonation of the charac- ; ter. John W. Burton, as the father nf} Deoubledot’s second wife and the hus-| band of his first wife, handles his part well. Edythe Chapman has a light part, which she makes the most of. —_— California. The Elmer Walters Company in “Just Before Dawn" at the California gave one of their smoothest first per- formances of the best play so far in their repertoir All the characters are well drawn and conscientious portrayed by the stock company. There was also a pleasing absence of the vulgarity that has characterized | some of the previous productions. | The work of Lloyd Ingraham as Reuben rather subordinated that of the rest of the cast. Ingraham gave a cleancut and convincing perform- ance. Theresa Walters in the load} handled a di ult part well, but her | work suffers from inartistic gowning. Stanley Johns has a tendency to be- | come restless and ill at e: Maud | Monroe was excellent as Nan, while Harry Llewellyn and Harry Todd were acceptable in thankl parts. : e EDUCATOR TALKS TO MEN AND YOUTHS BIBLE Dr. Newell of Chicago Addresses Big Mecetine at the Young Men's Christian Association. Rev. William R. Newell of the| Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, ad- | large body of men and| uditorium of the Young | n’s Christian Association yesterday afternoon. Dr. Newell is considerea one of the most profound students of the Bible in America and it was on | biblical themes that he spoke for | more than an hour. The preacher’s work consists in the establishment of interdenominational | popular Bible classes. His classes in Chicago have on the rolls as many av | 6000 students. In Toronto during the | years 1902-03 the class numbered 5000. Although on a vacation, the doctor, who arrived Saturday night, arrangea at once to meet the ministry of San Francisco in the hope of interesting | the clerical body in his popular Bible | class programme. A meeting will be held at noon to- day in the Young Men's Christian As- sociation Auditorium. when it is ex- | pected that the ministers of the vari- our ministerial associations, which | meet this morning and afternoon, will attend. Dr. Newell addressed a large audi- cnce last evening at the Bethlehem Congregational Church and will speak again at the same place this evening. —————— Small Sea Voyager. | _The little yawl Restless, six days from ;Graya Harbor, came gallantly into port yes- terday morning.
