ROBBED BY BROTHERS,
Confession of a Convicted Burg
lar Recalls an Old
Crime.
Edward Vanderscweip Tells How the
0beron Safe Was Looted Last
DC ober

The safe in the Oberon saloon on O'Far-
rell street was robbed of $3.50 in the early
morning of October rs. The cashier had
put the money into the safe at 2:30 A. NJ. !;
then he shut the door, but neglected to
close the combination. Wnen he returned
next morning about o'clock the money
was gone.
Suspicion fell upon James Vanderscwe:p,
the night porter. He was in charge of
the bar after the cashier left and was
closely questioned by the proprietor. He
said no one had been near the bar after
the cashier left and he had not been out
of the saloon for minute. He loudly
protested his innocence.
The police were notified and Detective
Gibson was detailed on the case. He
came to the conclusion that James and
his brother Edward, who was discharged
employe of the saloon, had mitted the
robbery. He went to Berkeley. where
nothing of the robbery, but be searched
the house carefully. Nothing was found.
Then he went into the garden and no.
ticed that at one spot the earth had been
recently disturbed. He dug down, but
found no money. He, however, found a
table napkin with the Oberon mark upon it.
The four corners had been tied together,
but one corner had been pulled loose.
This strengthened his suspicion, but it
was not enough to cause their arrest.
Word was received at police head
quarters last night from Fresno that
Edward had confessed to committing the
robbery with his brother James, who Is
now serving a term in San Quentin for
burglary. Edward was arrested In Fresno
for burglary and yesterday was sentenced
to six years in San Quentin. Then he
made his confession.
He said that after the cashier left he
went into the saloon and saw his brother
James, who told him that the combina-
ton of the safe was not closed. James
opened the safe, took out $3.50 and handed
it to him over the bar He carried il
away, but he did not say what they did
with it afterWard.

SAUSAL|TO'S POOLROOMS
A Raid Made by the Marshal
on Schwartz & Co.'S
Place.
Five Employees Made to Put Up Fifty
Dollars Bail Each-Schwartz's
Complaint.

SAUSALITO, CAL, Aug. 6.-At 2 p NJ
to-day Marshal Creed, with his deputy T..
Cramer, entered the poolrooms operated
by Schwartz & Co. and after reading a
warrant arrested five employees behind the
counter.
This made matters pretty lively among
the crowd, which at that time numbered
nearly 100 of the sporting fraternity. They
seemed entirely taken by surprise. Moth
ing more than loud talk occurred, how
ever, as the employees were marched away
to the courtroom. No one was left to look
after the chalk and black boards.
Judge Pryor looked very dignified in his
magisterial capacity, and when the five
were placed in line before his Honor the
defendants pleaded not guilty. Fifty dol
lars cash bail was demanded from each.
The money was at once put up. The
Judge allowed Mr.. Schwartz one week to
employ counsel, when the case will come
up tor trial.
So ended the first round, and the pool
rooms at 2:45 P. NJ. were again in full
swing. The proceedings caused consider
able amusement and the water front pre-
sented quite an animated appearance.
Schwartz on being interviewed stated
tnat ne was Wiling 10 put up his money,
but does not see why be should be perse-
cuted more than Mr.. Harrison, against
whom there is a similar case pending for
more than one month. If Mr.. Harrison
had been tried and convicted he would not
have started here. He started, however.
with the best of intentions, not think.
ing he was infrauting the law. Ii Harrison
should be convicted be will be willing 10
throw up the sponge, but he insists on the
Harrison case being tried first. In the
meantime the poolrooms are all doing a
rushing business and Judge. ATTORNEYS and
Marshal are accordingly happy.

RAISING THE COLOMBIA
Engineer Tabrett's Challenge to the

In THE CALL of July there was printed
a statement as follows:
II. c. Tabrett experimenting engineer OF

Mail Company will give his firm the contract
he will raise the Colombia and bring her to
San Francisco inside of two weeks.
This attracted the attention of one OF
the high officials of the company mem
toned, who yesterday made the following
comment thereon:
'It appears that while this statement is
published In a newspaper for the benefit
of the public no such offer has been made
to any officer of the Pacific Mail Steam.
ship Company. There is no doubt that
the Pacific Mail Company would be will
ing to make such a contract on the basis
of no pay except on the delivery of the
