NEWSPAPER THIEVING.
Judge Joachimsen Will Give His De-
cision To-Day in the Case of
Robert Cook, q Janjtor.

C1SlOu lO-Ody III tho vase Oi
Robert Cook, Janitor.
The stealing of newspapers from the
doors of subscribers has been so frequent OF
late that it has become epidemic. The
carrier leaves the paper and when the SUBJ
scriber opens his front door an hour or two
later it has disappeared much to his dis
gust.
Complaints were so numerous from sub
scribers of THE CALL living along Pine
streetthat watch was set. Shortly after
O'Clock last Friday morning Robert Cook,
a janitor, living at 2318 Pine street, was
seen to take COPY of THE CALL from the
door of NJ. g. Jonas, 2011 Pine, and was
promptly arrested by Policeman W. d.
Scott and booked at the North End sta
ton on the charge of petty larceny. The
copy of THE CALL was retained as evidence
against him.
Cook appeared before Judge Joachimsen
a few hours later, and the case was con-
tinued till Saturday, the Judge releasing
Cook on his own recognlzance. When the
case was called on Saturday it was con-
tinued till yesterday, and yesterday the
Judge intimated he would render his de-
cision to-day.
An example should be made of Cook, as
be is wei able to afford to pay for paper
himself. Besides, it is necessary to infict
a severe penalty, which would have the
effect of putting stop to this vexatious
kind of petty larceny.

MYSTERY OF A DOUBLE CROSS
It Was Put on Houses by Canvassers

the Craft.

Some industrious canvassers must have
been laughing very heartily in theirsleeves
for the last few days over the scare about
mystic marks on doors and doorsteps.
First the prevalence of these signs attract
ed attention in part of Oakland, and when
the story of supposed mystery became
public every careful housekeeper across
the bay made search for the dreaded signs.
Presently, as if impelled by some unknown
species of inf fection, the marks were cpl
demic in Alameda and Berkeley.
That was bad indeed on the face of it,
and CONSERVATION spread from the Encinal
clear to Pinole. Ridiculous stories of boy
colts and evil designs to be carried out
through the medium of the door marks
helped to infame some of the timorous-
minded people across the bay. 1t was

BRUTALLY BEATEN.
Mamie Johnston Nearly Killed by Her
Companion in the Anita House,

Mamie Johnston, young woman about
25 years of age, was taken to the Receiving
Hospital last night in pitiable condition
from the Anita House, 81 Hunt street.
There was lacerated wound IN her head,
her eyes and face were swollen and black
ened and she seemed to be suffering in
tense pain. Her wounds and bruises were
attended to and she was sent to the City
Prison, where she was booked as drunk.
Sergeant Bidwell considered her condition
so bad that he notified Captain Whitman
and the captain laid the facts before Chief
Crowley.
The Chief detailed two detectives to
make thorough investigation into her
case and ordered her to be sent back to the
hospital. The detectives tried every possi-

Complaints Against Golden Gate
Park and Castro Heights
Supplies.
The Board of Health Will Enforce
the Birth Registration
Regulations.

In consequence of numerous complaints
regarding the artesian water in Golden
Gate Park and on Castro Heights, the
Board of Health at its meeting yesterday
decided to investigate the two supplies
mentioned with view to ascertaining
whether or not it is fit for human con-
sumption.
Dr. J. C. Spencer, the City Bacteriologist.
was directed to cooperate with Professor
Wenzell, who was appointed City Chemist
without pay, in taking samples of water
from the two supplies mentioned, and to
report to the board at its next regular
meeting the result of their Investigations.
The physicians of this City not having
shown an inclination to comply with the
regulations of the board regarding the
registration of births, the board decided to
take definite action in the matter. Notices
will be sent to all physicians and mid
wives within the City to report all births
at which they officiate on or before the
fourth day of each month.
Those who fail to report within the time
specified will be arrested under the law
governing the registration of births and
prosecuted to the Iull extent of the law.
Two weeks will be given the local medicos
to come to time.
MIX Inspector DocEery reported that
though the milk ordinance had been in
operation five weeks, very few hotel and
restaurant keepers had obtained permits in
accordance Herewith. He declared that
he proposed to enforce the provisions OF
the order strictly hereafter.
DR.. McMurdo reported that the Board of
Supervisors had neglected to buy drugs for
branch Jail 2, though he had made
many requests, and had finally sent notice
that he would not visit the institution
again until the desired drugs were pnr-
chased. The board will communicate with
the Supervisors and try to learn why the
drugs have not been bought.
