Burglars Thoroughly Ran

They Expected to Find COnsid-

Four Men Arrested on Suspicion and
Locked Up in the

The police are looking for two daring
burglars who entered the residence OF
James 1. Ewers at $40 Wisconsin street
Wednesday afternoon and stole several
articles of iewelry.
An entrance was effected by prying
open the rear door with jimmy.
Ewers is employed as a machinist in the
Union Iron Works. He was paid off last
Tuesday, and, contrary to his usual Gus
tom, he deposited the money in the Hi
bernia Bank. Shortly after o'clock
Wednes iay afternoon his wife left the
house to visit friend, and as she walked
along the street she noticed two men
standing on the corner, apparently en-
gagged in whispered conversation. Sus-
pecting that they were bent on mischief
Mrs. Ewers returned to her house intend
ing to watch them.
AS she opened the gate leading to her
house the men walked along Wisconsin
street and su bseQuently disappeared. Con-
Guiding that they had lett the neighbor-
hood, Mrs. Ewers carefully secured the
gate and then went to call on her friend.
She returned to her home shortly after
O. clock and was surprised 10 tlnd the front
gate Open. s subsequent investigation
revealed that burglars had visited the
an entrance they broke open trunks and
closets, and even ripped open two mat
trasses, so determined were they not to
overlook anything OF value. In a bureau
drawer the housebreakers found several
gold rings and a silver watch, which they
!ook.
Ewers is convinced that the burglars
were acquainted with the fact that ne had
received his wages and expected to find
| the money hidden in the house. He at
once reported the burglary TO Captain
| Bennett, who, after getting a description
of the stolen jewelry notified Captain OF
! Detectives Bohen. Two detectives were
| sent to the house, but after a long search
| they were unable TO find a trace OF the
! house breakers. Later in the day Captain
| Bennett arrested four suspicious charaC-
| ters who were hanging around q saloon in
the Potrero They gave their names as
| Edward Fitzgerald, Frank Woods,
| Thomas Burk and James Moran, and
were locked up in the tanks" pending
an invest igatIon.
Sawed up In the lining of MOran's vest
were three rings, which were supposed to
have been stolen from the residence Of
| Mr.. Ever. Last night Ever visited police
headquarters but was unable to identity
the rings. The prisoners were then
formally charged withvagrancy.

Charles Josselyn Buys Valuable Privi

Late yes terday Charles Josselyn and
Axel Johnson Of the Great Western Can
Company purchased the tin-can plant of
the San Jose Fruit Packing Company.
Mr.. Josselyn, president of the first named
com pany, figured for several months on a
proposition to establish q plant for the
manufacture of cans at the Potrero, but,
after due reflection decided to locate the
works at San Joae, which is now a ter
minal point under the railroad classifca.
ton. The advantages offered at San Jose
are sidetracks leading from the main line
OF railroad to the factory. The right to
use oil for fuel is also estimated as an al
vantage.
The extensive machinery which was
formerly used by the San Jose Fruit Pack
ing Company will be replaced by the
recently invented modern machines,
owned by the company of which Mr..
Josselvn is pre- ~ident. BY the 1st of Nav
next the new plant viii have machines in
operation capable OF turning out 4, 600, 00C
cans per month. 1t will be possible to
deliver the cans from the machines di-
rect to the cars
Messrs. Bendel, De Fremery, Carolan,
Wright and others, who sold the t1n-can
plant, did not dispose of the packing
plant or business of the San Jose Com.
pany with which they are identified.
FrCit-growers of California are sure tC
be benefited by the competition in the
manufacture OF tin cans.

FISH FROM TWO OCEANS.

The Federal Commission Looking Out
for Future Food Supplies.
The United States Fish Commission is
making an exchange of the fish of the At
lantic and Pacific oceans as fast as they
can consistent with the output of the sew
eral hatcheries on the two sides of the
continent. Many of the species brought
from the East and placed in the waters OF
this State have done so well that it is the
intention to stock all of the waters of the
West with the food fish OF the East and
continue the experiments of placing the
food fish of the West in the waters of the
East The last consignment from the At
lantic arrived a few days ago, and con-
sisted OF several hundred tautog and about
go egg bearing Holsters.
As each female IS usually responsible
for about half million eggs it is safe to
say that the first deposit OF eggs will be
fully 10000, 900. The lobster and iish were
deposited in the ocean near the Farallon
Islands. Tne Fish Comm ission car,
which brought these out, will go to An
derson, Shasta County, where ii will take
on a bout 6 600. 900 quinnat salmon spawn
from the Battle Creek hatchery. These
are to be distributed IN the Upper Huds IN
River and in all of the streams in the New
England States.
