Chapel Judson, a| well known artist, securing jewelry and silverware worth $300. Mrs. Judson left the apartment at 1374 Frankin street, shortly after 2 o'clock. Returning an hour later, she found the door open, and investigation revealed the fact that a burglar had ransacked the place, securing a dia- mond brooch, five rings set with pre- cious stones, a lady's gold watch, a pearl stickpin and a quantity of silver- ware. On discovering her loss Mrs. Judson at once gave an alarm and notified the police, but the burglar had made good | his ape. The door of the apartment | plainiy showed the marks of the tool with which it had been forced, being splintered near the lock. The forcing of the door must have caused consid- crable noise, but was unheard, although there were people in all parts of the building. —_— OWIS 15 FORCED TO MODIFY INDEGEAT ACT |Manager of Firetrap Thea- ter Meets Demand of the - Celts Manager Sam Davis’ affront to the Irish race has been abated, and the an- | tics of one of his actors playing at the Davis Theater, which were offensive to| all self-respecting Celts, were modified | last night and- made decent Davis gave up, with poor grace, to the pre: sure brought to bear upon him by the committee of Irish which waited on| him. Dillon’s offensive act was changed. | A committee made up of members of the St. Patrick’s day celebration com-| mittee v ted the Davis firetrap Tues day night and arter witnessing the pz of Dillon in the drunken Irish woman's act made indignant protest to Manager Davis. He attempted to put them off;| e promised to look into the matter: he | assured them it would be “all right”;| | he passed the protest up to this person jand to that, and he did everything but promise that it would be remedied on| | his authority. Then T. P. O'Dowd, head | | of the committee, said: “There's no use| talking any more about this matter. | If you don’'t cut this act out we'll cut 1t/ | out for you.” | The hitherto small attendance which i been the portion of the Davis Thea- |ter was appreciably augmented last | night by those who came to see some- | thing not on the programme, and which | was likely to make Kolb's kick to Dill's| | abdomen look like a caress. But they | | were aisappointed. There was a large| delegation of Irish on hand, but Mana- | | ger Davis had instructed his actor to Umng the impersonation of the Irish| | woman within the limits of decency. | Dillon was only too glad to do so.| In fact, he had protested the previous| | night against playing the objection- | | able part. The act was changed; Davis| | had yielded to the pressure of righteous| | indignation. v ——————— | | | KILLED IN FREIGHT YARDS | The headless body of a man supposed | | to be Luke McGann, member of Foun- | dry Workers’ Union No. 680, was found | |in the Southern Pacific freight yards | | a* Fifteenth and Townsend streets at | 7:40 o’clock last evening by George | Barde, a railway conductor.

T. Creswell made a aesperate but futile attempt yester- day at the meeting of the Police Com- | Women—‘ {1 missioners to abolish the haunted taloons which now infest the ential section of this city. He ed signally to carry his point. The wishes of Commissioners Hagerty and |} Leahy had him completely blocked. The question came up as the result of a letter from City Attorney William G. Burke, which was in reply to one from the commission asking for an opinion as to the scope of the power which the Police Commission wields in the regulation of the saloon business. Burke's reply might have been writ- ten by Attorney Frank J. Murphy, who represents the “cafe’ men in fight to keep Golden Gate avenue a| trail of red, so satisfactory to the re- sort keepers was the city official's mes- sage. Burke declared that the legis- lative power is vested in the Board of Supervisors. The Police Commissioners ly see to it that such laws as are by the Supervisors are enforced. sald the letter, right “I am of the opinion,’ ‘that the police have no legal to prevent females from visiting sa- || loons and that the Board of Police Commissioners has ne legal right to di- rect the police to prevent females from so entering saloons unless empowered by the Board of Supervisors.” Commissioners Leahy and Hagerty developed, at once, a fine sense of cour- tesy. They stated, feelingly, that they could not find it in their hearts to ques- tion the decision handed down by the City Attorney. out that many thousands of dollars were invested in these resorts, and it was implied, of course, that on that ac- count they should be protected. “] did not know,” replied Commis- Creswell, “that the saloons of San Francisco were founded upon the basis of women's patronage. If that be true, then they should all be abol- coming . generation and good morals. Besides T do not let the City Attorney dictate to me on a matter of morals. We differ as to the law in the case. The commission of which I am a mem- ber has the power and right to close these places up If it wants to. I ask that a vote be taken on the resolution.” Creswell then read his resolution, w h follows: ‘Resolved, That this board will not grant renewal licenses to any licensees of this board who sell spiritous, vinous or malt liquors to females, or who al- low females to enter into or frequent their saloons.” Supporting his contention for abolishment of these resorts, Creswell maintained that they were assignation houses and as such should be sup- pressed. Hagerty retorted that of his own knowledge all of them were not assignation houses and defied Creswell to prove his statement. Creswell an- swered quietly that Hagerty would win, for, he asked, “where will you find a man that will testify to the fact and how will you securé his female com- panion to corroborate the testimony?” So, with the defeat of his resolution m in the face, Commissioner Creswell was' forced to acquiesce in the suggestion that it be laid over. Commissioner Umbsen was not present and there were two votes in sight against his one. The saloon men had Creswell's resolution “beat at the ost.’ 5 Hagerty complained to Creswell that he should not spring such measures in open public session, maintaining that there should be a little quiet meeting “among ourselves first.” ‘After the meeting Captain Mooney stated that so far as he was concerned he would continue to keep the ques- tionable places closed as tightly as possible. He would instruct his men to arrest no women unless there was a good case against them. “We will make no arrests merely be- cause a woman is in a saloon,” he said, but we will continue our campalgn on vagrants, We can arrest vagrants anywhere.
