SACRAMENTO, Dec. 24.—It is be- lieved that the first record of the theft of an automobile was made this even- ing. A big pasesenger touring car was taken from its street station by the thief, and up to this hour no trace of it has been found.

Gray, local nt for the Bowers Rubber Company, offices at 75 West Washington | has been asked to make a search Clarence E. Close, a seventeen-year- S | waitn street, for at Everett December 2 and is believed by | many persons to have been shanghaied | and taken aboard some foreign vessel. | :cording to information received by M. the lad is from a well-known San *0 family. Through the manager R. Grace & Co., San Francisco | shipbuilders, a place)was secured for young Close on board the steamship Ca- | |cique. He was to act as the captain’s cabin bov and be given a chance tc work | himself up to a better position later. | The vovage constituted first a trip to | Puget Sound, then a voyage to South America and possibly around Cape Horn to New York. It was an opportunity for | the bov to see the world, and after some | hesitancy the consent of his partnts was | secured. . The steamship went | cisco to Seattle and from San Fran- later to Everett, | where it remained for three days loading lumber. On the night of December 2 the | boy went ashore at Everett with the first | assistant steward, who prevailed upon | him to attend a dance. The boy remained |until 11 c’clock and announced that he | would return to the vessel. From that hour all trace of him was lost. | The boy had written to his mother say- ing he was well satisfied with his posi- tion, was having a good time and being treated mnicely. His clothing was all aboard the ship and there seems-to be no |ground for believing that he deserted. Close’s parents have concluded that their son was either shanghaied, fell overboard and was drowned or was injured and taken away by strangers. The police at Everett were notified, but they reported that no trace of the lad could be found. Mr. Gray will go to Ev- erett to make additional search. ———— POLICEMEN IN ST. LOUIS RAID THE CLUBROOMS Continues to Resist Effort to Lift the Lid in Missourl. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 24.—Nearly 100 club- rooms were raided by the police to-day and persons found selling liquor were arrested and charged with violating the Sunday saloon closing law. Since the strict enforcement of the Sunday clos- ing statute clubs have sprung up like mushrooms in all parts of the city, and the raids were made under the direct orders of Governor Folk, who has de- clared that he will suppress all of the so-called “lid-lifting” organizations. In many instances the clubs were raided two or three times. Upon their first arrest the proprietors, after being released on bonds, would return im- mediately to the clubrooms and re- open. In several instances three differ- ent persons were arrested in as many raids on the same clubroom. As soon as one was arrested another would take his place selling drinks. ——————— Mine Shaft. Buflding Burned. SPRING VALLEY, Ill, Dec. 24.—The shaft building of the Marquette Third Vein Coal Company, three miles from here, was destroyed by fire to-day.
