PRETTY SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL REST FOR STEALING $80 BROTHER. SHE HAS BEEN j s AND A PAIR OF OPERA GLASSES FROM HER IN TROUBLE BEFORE. OF OAKLAND WHO 19 UNDER AR- OAKLAND, March 3.—Three times within a year has the love of fine cloth- ing and jewelry got pretty 17-year-old Nora Jordan into trouble. The girl is | under arrest charged with theft. She stole $80, a pair of opera glasses and a small revolver from the room of her brother, Frank Jordan, who lives at 662 Bast Thirty-third street. When Jordan reported his loss to the police it was thought that burglars had en- téred the house during the absence of the family, but after an invesiigation the detectives decided that it was an “inside job,” and suspicion was at once directed to Miss Nora, who had been in trouble before. When the girl was taken to the po- lice station she vehemently denied any knowledge of thé theft. Finally she weakened and confessed that she was the thief and told where the things were hidden. She expressed no re- morse for the crime. She smilingly told hbw she had stolen the money and val- uzbles from her brother's room while she was alone in the house. ‘When scarcely moré than a child the girl committed her first crime. 8he was ouly 15 years old. She was sent by her brother to deposit $40 in a local bank, but instead of so doing she wrote the entry in the passbook and spent — b the money. When her brother went to draw the money he found that he had no funds. The matter was hushed up by the girl’s family, who have done their best to keep her straight and have given her everything their moderate means allowed. In the latter part of 1908 Nora ob- tained a position as a domestic with Mrs. Morris Edelstein of 662 Fifth street, and soon afterward her employer began to miss valuable articles of clothing and jewelry from her ward- robe. The thefts were traced to the servant and on January 23, 1904, she was arrested. Mrs. Edelstein, how- ever, refused to press the charge against the girl and she was released. Six months later, while in the em- ploy of E. J. Bardon of 560 Fourteenth street, she denuded the wardrobe of her employer of articles of fine wear- ing apparel and on July 7 she was again arrested. She pléead guilty when arraigned in the Police Court, but on account of her youth she was placed in charge of Probation Officer Miss C. Anita Whitney. Last December she was released from probation and im- mediately commenced to steal when opportunity presented. The police regard the girl as in- corrigible, but it is not likely that her brother will prosecute her. ATTACKS MADE (PN BALFOUR Ulster Unionists Denounce the Premier and Spread Alatm in His Following I —_— s LONDON, March 3.—The revolt of the Ulster Unionists against the Gov- ernment is increasing in intensity." At a meeting of the newly formed Ulster Unionist Council at Belfast to-day an- gry denunciations of the continued re- tention of Sir Anthony P. MacDon- nell, Under Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and Wyndham, the Chief Secrétary for Ireland, were heard, coupled with threats to fight the Government at all points. The Ulster men and Natlonalists profess to be convinced that Premier Balfour does not dare cut Sir Anthony MacDonnell adrift, because he would then be free to publish compromising correspondence with prominent mem- bers of the Government. Some of Balfour’s sturdiest adherents are becoming alarmed and are urging the Premier to take tne party into his confidence by calling a meeting or by other means to contult as to the best manner of meeting the ous situation.

Charles T. Walkley De- sires to Go on Record in Early Days of Preparation RIS Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, March 8. Opposition to holding the projected floral fete at the race track at Emery- ville has developed. Directors of chari- table institutions that are interested in the al fresco entertainment have been invited to attend a meeting to-mor- fow mdrning at 10:30 o'clock at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church to discuss the plan of using the jockey club’s grounds on Mayday, as has been proposed by the eitizens’ committee. | The mover in the opposition is the Rev. Charles T. Walkley, rector of St. Faul’s Church. He has asserted his ob- Jection to be solely against the place of holding the fete in which all of Oak- land society is to be interested. The rector insists that he is in hearty ac- cord with the proposed holiday and its objects: But he has called the meet- ing to give expression to his own views on the race track and to give opportun- Ity to others to ~o on record before the arrangements have been carried to completion. PEACE REICNS 0N LAST DAY Obstructionists in House Abstain From Usual Tae- ties at the Final Session — WASHINGTON, March 3.—The last day’s session of the House before the final adjournment of the Fifty-eighth Congress at noon to-morrow found that body almost through with its work of disposing of conference re- ports on the great supply measures of the Government and a few measures of public importance. A feature of the proceedings was the general desire of the members to abstain from obstructive tactics and permit the disposition of business. Speaker Cannon wielded the gavel over the entire session and maintained the best of order. The only object which gave rise to any considerable debate was the conférence report on the river and harbor bill. By an over- whelming vote the House refused to agree to a motion by Sibley to concur in the Senate amendment, and the bill was sent back to conference. The conference reports on the Indian and postoflice appropriations were agreed to, finally both measures being passed. The conference report on the naval appropriation bill was called up by Foss of Illinois. 1In division, 100 to 89, the House concurred in the amend- ments, thereby fully passing the Dbill Other bills were passed as follows: Authorizing the Secretary of State to order manufactured rifies for the use of rifle clubs under regulations prepared by the national board for the promotion of rifle practice. Authorizing the President to allot and dis- tribute Indian tribal funds to such Indlans as in his judgment may be entitled to them by reason of their advanced civilization; relating to the construction and matntenance of roads, schools and the care and support of insane persons In Alaska; to further prescribe the duties of the Secretary of the District of Alaska. Kalanianole of Hawaif addressed the House on_the subject of leper condi- tions in Hawalil, in answer to some suggestions made yesterday that one of the islands be used for a national leprosarium, including persons from the United States. He protested against the proposal on the ground that it would be destructive to the in- terests of that Territory. At 5 o'clock the House took a recess until 8 o’clock. On reconvening Hemenway pre- sented the conference report on the civil service appropriation bill and it was agreed to with little consideration. —_—————— In the Public Eye Again.

The last of the ap- propriation bills having been passed, the session was given up largely to general legislation, and, when neces- sary, to conference reports on appro- priation bills. During the day the final reports were presented on the paval, the postoffice, the Indian and sundry civil bills, leaving only the river and harbor bill and the general deficiency bill to be considered in their final stages. During the day the pure food bill was definitely displaced. - The joint resolution continuing in force the present law applicable to the Panama canal zone was unanimously adopted, but not until after several Senators had expressed themselves in frank language concerning the .atti- tude of the House, to which they at- tributed the failure of the conference on_the bill. The resolution was agreed to on a rcll call, 69 years, no nays. It is as follows: That the provisions of section 2 of an act to provide for the temporary government of the canal zone at Panama, the protection of the canal works and othér purposes, approved April 28, 1004, be and hereby are continued in force until the expiration of the session of ‘the Fifty-eighth Congress, beginning the first Mon— day in December, 1005, unless other provision be sooner made by Congress. Miscellaneous bills, as follows, were passed: Authorizing Gila County, Ariz., to fssue $40,000 worth of bonds for the construction of a Courthouse. Permitting two young Chinese to re- ceive military instruction at West Point. Cockrell resigned from the commit- tee in charge of a new office building for the Senate and Teller was ap- peinteq to fill the vacancy. At 6 o'clock the Senate took a recess till 8:30 o'clock. At 8:30 o'clock Perkins called up and the Senate passed a joint resolu- tion authorizing the acceptance of the re-cession of the Yosemite Valley as an addition to the Yosemite National Park and appropriating 320,000 for the care of the park. Hale then presented the first con- ference report on the general de- ficiency report. In answer to a ques- ticn in the conference to an inquiry from Gorman, Hale said the conferees had failed to reach a decision on the House provision appropriating $190,- 000 to pay mileage to Penators and members of the second session of the present Congress. Gorman expressed the hope that the Senate would not yleld its position for a moment. He added the opinion that if the provision sheuld become a law it would create a national scandal. The report. as far as it went, was agréed to and the Senate decided to ask for another conference. AN SRR STUDENT WINS RHODES HONORS Hugh A. Moran of Stanford to Be the Second Oxford Scholar From California prR Y B Special Dispatch to The Call STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 3.—Hugh A. Moran will be awarded the next Rhodes scholarship from Califor- nia. Only two of the candidates who took the recent examination were suc- cessful. These were Moran and F. B.

The remainder of each year’s ~llowance is paid at regular in- tervals wuring the year. The Rhodes scholarship in California is granted in alternate years to Cali- fornia, Stanford and the smaller col- leges.
