BURGLARS LOOT A HOUSE
While the Family Is ut Church Their Dwell
ling II Entered

Burglars are becoming epidemic in the
city, and scarcely day passes without
one or more are reported to the police.
Most of the hauls thus far made have
been small, but they are none the less
annoying as the losers are generally
people of moderate means. Last night
the family of j. Crib. who resides at
the corner of Eighth and Central av-
enue. went out to church leaving the
house locked.
On their return shortly after o'clock
they found that the premises had been
entered by burglars during their alb
sence and the place looted. Entrance
had been effected in the back and the
thieves made clean haul, taking ev-
erything in sight A lot of silverware.
some jewelry and even clothing was
stolen and the house looked as though
a cyclone had devastated the inside.
Everything was turned upside down,
bureau drawers pulled out and the con-
tents scattered over the floor. closets
ransacked and nothing had escaped the
hawk eyes of the thieves. The matter
was reported to the police and an officer
sent down a once to investigate. There
are no clews upon which to work. but
the detectives will make an endeavor
to locate the plumber and thereby get
track of the burglars.

ON THE WHEEL
Record Lost Through Non.Ob,ervance Of
Rules

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. o.-Through
nom compliance with certain rules gov
erning road racing on bicycles. the Acme
club Wheelmen lost the American record
for five miles today.
e. w. Decker, one of the clubs star
road riders, tried for the coveted honor
on the Haywards course and succeeded
in covering the distance in 1920 as
against George NJ. Hamlin's 11:11 20.
Unfortunately but two timers We're on
hand at the finish. while the rules re-
quire a least three, so the road racing
committee of the California Associated
Cycling clubs cannot accept it and thus
render it official.
The watches showed a slight varia
ton when compared after the ride, but
none of the spectators, after seeing the
speed of the rider, doubted his ability
to register a great performance. His
pace-makers were the fastest ever pro-
Vided for a record trial At the start he
had George r. Rovillet and Andrew
Bedbury, who took him the first half
mile in about SIS seconds They went
but little farther when j. r. Kenna and
\. II. AgneW cut in and hurried the rec
ord breaker along at lightning speed.
They were relieved at half distance by
George Dixon and Bert MEME, the
crack tandem team of the Bay City
Wheelmen. They thought they had but
got under way when the finish came in
sight For the final dash to the tape in
Haywards, e. H. Elford and C. K.
Krafts took Decker in hand, the tandem
and single rider racing out to the finish.
Just as the tape was crossed the front
wheel of the tandem struck a car track
and both riders We're thrown. Krafts
sustained some slight cuts about the
head
Decker was not at all spun out by his
remarkable ride, and will make another
attempt on Wednesday afternoon over
the same course, in order to get the rec
ord officially.

FIRE ON MACY STREET
A Saloon and Chinese Wash-House Destroyed
by Flames

Fire at Q o'clock last night destroyed
a Chinese laundry at 1913 and S35 Macy
street, run by Quong Wong Lee, and the
Stock Exchange saloon, at No. S31,
owned by Charles Kolb. NJ. Mcmahon,
formerly assistant chief of the fire de-
partment, but now employed by the
Cudahy packing company as night
Waterman of their warehouse, discov-
cred the flames breaking forth in the
rear of the wash house and endeavored
to eXtinguish them with hand grenades.
This he could not do, and so he ran and
telephOned the alarm. Almost at the
same time box 123 was sent in and the
department quickly responded. 1t was
found impossible to save either the
laundry or saloon, as the flames had
gained too great Roadway before water
was got on them.
The fire was soon under control, the
boys, headed by Chief Moore, working
hard. Quong Wong Lee places his loss
at 5000. The property is owned by John
Cline and the loss on buildings will be
small. Kalb loses about $1,000 on his
saloon, with some insurance.

the condition of women is better with
out the ballot than with it" The meet

made the best short speech of the even

slavery of women as an injustice from
his own standpoint as an intelligent
human being, before he was an enfran-
chised citizen. The next meeting Will

steam railroad which is to run from

Thomas S. Bullock, a wealthy eastern
railroad builder, has become interested
in Loutit's railroad venture. Bullock is
the individual whom Albert l.. Stetson
tried to interest in the Yosemite valley
railroad and whose final decision to
keep out of that enterprise is said to-
have contributed to Stetson's despond-
ency. Loutit said that the printed story
that Bullock had become interested in
his line was correct, but he declared that
there was no truth in the statement
that Stetson had been sold out" by
Bullock.

road out of Stockton, but we have an
understanding which I have every rea-
