The police have a case on hand which is
likely to bother them before thep get to the
bottom of it. The facts of the case are as
follows: On Saturday last a man took a
room and board at the United States Hotel,
registering as John Heenan, of San Fran
cisco.
On Monday Mr.. Holman, the proprietor
Of the hotel, missed 81 from the till in the
office. He spoke of the loss, and yester-
day morning while he was busy in the
yard boy came and told him that there
was q man behind the counter He went
into the office at once and saw Heenan be-
hind the counter, apparently busy with his
valise, which had been left there on the
floor. Heenan said that he was after his
medicine. and exhibited bottle as proof of
his assertion. When Heenan had left the
house Holman inspected the till and found
s. 10 more had been taken.
He determined to catch the thief. and
having marked four silver dollars and a
htty-cent piece SO that he would know
them, put them in the till. Then he took
his station in the baggage room, and
through the partially opened door kept
watch of the office, particularly of the till.
For two hours and half no one went he
hind the counter. Then Heenan entered
the room and, walking directly behind the
counter, stopped and seemed to be busy
with his valise again. In few minutes he
walked out and took a seat at a table.
Holman went to the till and found that the
marked money was gone. 1t seemed a
clear case, and when officers Carroll and
Edwards came in response to a call by
telephone, Heenan was given into custody
Here is where the curious part of the
affair comes in, for the most careful search
of the person of the prisoner, of the table
at which he sal, of his valise and everv-
thing near it failed to discover the marked
coins. He was locked up to await further
Investigations. In his pockets were papers
showing that he had been admitted to
practice in the Courts of one of the Eastern
States and of Arizona. He strongly asserts
his innocence and declares be is the victim
of some mistake.

OCEAN STEAMSHIP LINES.
The Committee on Ocean steal

The Committee on Ocean Steamship
Lines submitted an elaborate report.
The first reference was made to the mail
service of Fan Francisco and Vancouver with
Japan and China. The remuneration of the
Pacific Nail, the American line for carving
the mails was in lSS6-S7, sl3 229 81 or 1927 paid
by the United States Government for each
round trip. The Government pays railroads at
the rate of 80 cents Per mile, and even the
same rate would be some encouragement to
steamship owners. The practical effect of the
fostofee law at present is TO discourage the
employment of American steamships in foreign
commerce.
