Commanders in the Police Depar tment
Who Are on the Sick List.
Several of the men connected with the
Police Department have been "under the
weather lately, suffering from various
causes, all of sufficient graVeness to con-
fine them to their beds.
The first to vacate his desk was Captain
L. II. Robinson OF the Central station,
who has charge of the City Prison. This
official was compelled to hang up his uni
form and don a comfortable house wrap
per instead His ailment was that of a
monster carbuncle, which took possession
of his neck and made him feel misera bic.
The next to yield 10 home and medical
treatment was Lieutenant Fred L. Esoiua
of the CalIfornia-street station. His NAL
ady was pronounced nervous prostration,
superinduced by overwork and general
anxiety for the welfare of his men. He is
now at the springs.
The last to report off was Lieutenant
Daniel Hanna of the Southern station.
His ailment was an attack of pneumonia,
which at one time threatened to be seri-
Gus, but medical attendance and good
nursing have succeeded in bringing him
out of his illness.
The three popular officers are GONZALES
cent and may be seen harnessed to duty
in the course of week or SO.

seen yesterday by CALL reporter as to
what he should do with those who should
be arrested, Judge Pryor had nothing to
say. "Inasmuch as the case would come
up before me-" he said, 81 do not consider
it proper to have anything to say at pres
emf" Through Judge Pryor's courtesy a
copy of the ordinance above mentioned
was obtained, but further than this he
was entirely non-committal.
An interesting rumor In connection
with the intention of Breer & Huffman
to open poolroom in the Sausalito Hotel
is that Billy Harrison of this City also in
tends to start an opposition establishment
at the Buffalo Hotel, half a block down
the street. Harrison, who was engaged in
similar business in Sausalito before the
prohibitory ordinance was passed, and
who is quite popular in the town, is said
to be waiting for the crowd at Slinkey's s
Hotel to begin business and delaying the
beginning of his own enterprise until he sees
the outcome of the opposition venture.
He is hoping, it is said, that they will be
arrested and driven out of business and
thus leave the field open to him.
Thus the matter stands at present. The
Board of Trustees, consisting of Messrs.
Dickinson, Bruce, Ambjornson, Miller and
Sperry, is supposed to be IN favor of en-
forcing the ordinance. They have in
structed Marshal Greed to do his duty and
he declares that the ordinance shall be en-
forced. 1t is believed, however, that if ar
rested the poolroom men will demand a
Jury trial, and in that event it is quite
probable that they will be acquitted, the
usual result in Sausalito of trials by juries,
which are necessarily composed for the
most part OF "men on the fat" having been
acquittal.
A curious coincidence is that the pro-
posed outbreak of poolrooms will occur
about the same time as the closing OF the
City racetracks.

BOLD BURGLARY
ON HAYES STREET.
Residence of Martin Schnei-
der Entered by
Two Men.
THOROUGHLY LOOTED.
Two Watches, Five Rings, a
Gold ButtoD.Hook and
Money Stolen.
BROKE OPEN THE CELLAR-DooR
The Burglars Expected to Find valu
able Wedding Presents but
Were Disappointed.

The residence OF Martin Schneider,
shirtmaker, $50 Hayes street, was entered
by burglars on Saturday night and lot of
iewelry and other articles was stolen.
The family left the house about 6 o. clock
to visit friends and did not return till
close upon midnight. As soon as they
entered the house there was abundant
evidence of the fact that burglars had
been very busy there during their absence.
Bedroom doors that were locked as a
matter of precauiion had been forced
open with a jimmy and the bedclothes
and contents of bureau drawers were scat
tered over the floors. Nothing had es-
capped the vigilant search of the burglars
for plumber.
The parlor and dining.room had also
been thoroughly ransacked, and in their
haste the burglars had broken several
valuable pieces of bric-a-brac.
A hasty examination showed that
among the articles missing were two lady's
silver watches, gold ring with sapphires
and pearls, gold ring with large emerald,
gold ring with turquoise, chased gold ring
with the initials ''T. E. S." engraved on
the inside, plain gold ring. gold button
hook with three stones and SIS in money.
Entrance had been effected by forcing
Open Tie C0lldI OOON Ill WIN q
"iimmy." The door was fastened with
paddock. The burglars passed through
the cellar and out of the rear door, which
was left open, as there is no means of ac-
cess to the rear of the house. They got
onto the porch and forced open window
on the first floor and the rest was easy.
There was wedding in the house about
week ago and it is thought that the
burglars, knowing this fact, had expected
to find a lot of valuable wedding presents,
which accounted for their wholesale
search of tie premises. Fortunately the
wedding presents were not there. They
had been removed to the home of the
bride and groom the day previous.
A lady who lives opposite saw two men
leaving the house about 8 O'Clock by the
front door. Each was carrying bundle
under his arm. She thought it strange at
| the time, but the idea of burglars never
occurred to her. Owing to the darkness
she was unable to give description OF the
| two men. It is thought that they belong
| to the Hayes Valley gang Of thieves, and
they had been watching for an opportunity
| to break into the house, expecting to ind
| the wedding presents.
The burglary was an exceptionally dar-
| ing one, as that portion of Hayes street is
much frequented with pedestrians, ,particu-
larly on Saturday nights. They must have
| forced open the cellar door when for mo-
ment the coast was clear.
The police have been notified of the
burglary, and every effort is being made
to arrest the two men.

considerable amount of money to the
town to be allowed to conduct their busi-
ness. A license might have been given
them at that time by the Trustees were it
not for the strong opposition OF certain IN
dividuals. The general feeling was not
very, strong against the poolroom men. 1t
had been predicted that noisy drunken
crowd would come over to Sausalito and
would make it unsafe for lady 70 travel
upon the boat they frequented. On the
contrary, however. they acted very quietly,
were sober, and attended strictly to their
business. Again, they spent considerable
money in the town, so the men doing
business down on the fiat near the water
front were by no means averse to their
staying.
At the end of the season, however, the
poolroom men left and have since re-
mained away. Since the passage of the
ordinance above referred to it would be
impossible for the Town Trustees to license
them without repeating the ordinance.
This they are'not disposed to do, for to re-
peal an ordinance which they had unani-
mously passed would place them in very
queer light with the people of the town.
The ordinance then, as far as the Trustees
are concerned, must be observed. Whether
as a matter of fact it will be is matter yet
to be determined.
According to authenticated rumors two
different crowds intend to open poolrooms
in Sausalito within few days. Messrs.
Breer, Huffman and others have been
making preparations to open an establish
ment in the Sausalito Hotel, or the ''lower
hotel" as it is called to distinguish it from
the Ell Monte on the hillside, both oiswhich
are kept by j. E. Siinkey. The parapher-
MALTA necessary for the operation of the
poolroom will be taken over from San
Francisco to-day.
The intention is to begin business on
Wednesday next. Marshal Creed, how
ever, declares that the ordinance shall be
obeyed, and consequently an interesting
collision may take place between him
and the visitors.
If arrested the poolroom men will be
brought before Recorder Pryor. When

business establishments of the City, and a
large amount has already been promised.
This money the donors said would be

be announced. Chairman Soule has noti-
fed the members of the finance committee
to meet the executive committee this aft
ernoon, so as to arrange for districting the
City.

AFTER PICNIC PICKPoCKETs

Three vessels started on a coast race be-
tween this port and Puget Sound yesterday
morning. They were the bark Dashing
Wave, barkentine Retriever and the
schooner W. F. Jewett. The Retriever is
a sea-scorcher. The Dashing Wave is an
old bark that has lived long enough to
have outlived her usefulness, but she can
go and will show her old rusty h eels to a
younger ship on the least provocation. So
there will be considerable cracking on sail
and straining of braces to pull into the
Sound first.
Sunday visitors to the war vessels in the
harbor appear to increase in numbers, and
yesterday several hundred persons went
out to the Philadelphia.
Two rival tugs, the Belvedere and the
Ethel and Marion, made regular trips
from the slip near Washington-street
wharf until the Stockton steamer Mary
Garratt came in and her huge hulk filled
up the tugs landing place at the side of
the float. Dominick Cohn of the Ethel
and Marion hastened to find new place
where he could take aboard his passengers;
then thinking there was no other landing
space for his rival, notified the harbor
police officer that the other boat was using
-
permitted to do.
The scheme worked we'll and the Belve-
dere was ordered away. But her captain
appealed to the mate of the Garratt and
succeeded in having the big steamer
backed sufficiently to let the Belvedere,
which is little craft, squeeze into land
ing. The other and larger beat could not
do so and was obliged to go out of busi-
ness, leaving the small craft to scoop the
traffic.
Since the picnic season began gang of
pickpockets have been slipping the light
fantastic finger among other peoples val
uables, and the harbor police have been
putting in the Sunday mornings and even
ings camping on their trails.
Yesterday morning Officer Shaw arrested
James Hunter, who is said to be one of the
gentry. He was not caught in the act of
robbery, but not being able TO satisfacto-
rily explain his object for being there he
was taken in on charge of vagrancy. The
officers intend to arrest every idle and dis
character found around the pic
mic crowds.

Stopped His Team After Five Blocks
Dash Down Market Street.
Harry Morosco, the theatrical business
manager, created an unintentional sensa-
tion on Market street about 4:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon in his efforts to control
his runaway team.
He was out driving in a very light little
open buggy behind pair of large,
spirited black horses. Near the junction
of Powell and Market streets one of the
horses slipped on the cobbles and fell. but
Jumped up quickly and started to run, his
mate responding to the same fright.
Down Market the team tore in wild
run, and the pedestrians, expecting a
frightful smashup as the little buggy
swung threateningIy from side to side over
the rough cobbles, lell in behind the runa-
way and hurried after it in constantly
increasing procession.
At the junction of Battery and Market

horses after they had run five blocks on
