The Room of Mrs Hansen Entered Three Times During the Past
 Week.

'I have been robbed of $650 and want you to send a detective to make l thorough Investigation
 So spoke a middle-aged man named Oscar Minton as he rushed breathless- ly into police headquarters last night.
 "I knew I would be robbed he ex- citedly remarked. My God, what will become of me?"
 In answer to the questions of the clerk Winton said he had arrived here from the East yesterday morning, in tending to go to the Klondike. He had the money in his inside vest pocket and meeting a friend the latter induced him to accompany him to his room in a lodging house at Eddy and Taylor streets. A short time afterward he missed his wallet, and, convinced he had been robbed, he at once commun- icated with the police.
 Detectives Gibson and Wren were de- tailed to make an investigation and ac- companied by Minton they visited the room where he claimed to have been robbed. Failing to find the money in the room after a thorough search, the detectives proceeded to question Min ton. While they were asking him to de- scribe the places he had visited during the day ne SuUueUly JulIIpSO OOl OI lilc chair in which he was sitting, and with an exultant cry produced belt con- taining the money.
 T did not think of the belt" he joy fully remarked, as he eagerly counted the money. How could I have made such a mistake?"
 Minton then explained that shortly after his advent in this city he went to a store on Kearny street and bought the belt, as he did not want to carry so much gold in his pockets.
 After placing it around his waist he put the money in it, and, meeting his friend he went to his rooms. After a short conversation he forgot that he had placed the money in the belt and as he could not find it in his pocket he concluded he had been robbed, and at once reported the matter to the po- lice.
 Detectives Bee and Harper are in- vestigating a burglary which occurred yesterday afternoon in lodging house at 7S3 Mission street. During the temporary absence of Mrs. Hansen, who lives in the house, somebody en- tered her room and stole a sealskin cape. several silk dresses and a small amount in money. The door was found unlocked and 1t is thought that the thief gained an entrance with the aid of a skeleton key. This is the third time that the same room has been en- tered during the past few weeks. Last night Mrs. Hansen. visited police head quarters and reported the matter to Chief Lees

 5 313 S5 A person not familiar with the meth ods used by the Board of Harbor Com missioners in promoting the interests of favored contractors as against the interests of the State would naturally suppose that this proposition would have been rejected without so much as a moments hesitation. A person who had never seen a paint brush or priced a pot of paint would know, after read ing the proposition, that $313 could not represent more than one-fourth of the difference in value between the work omitted and the new work to be done. Not so the Commissioners. They promptly turned the proposition over to Architect Swain and he as promptly returned it with the following commu- nicauOn:
 December r, 1897. Gentlemen: Referring to a communt- cation made to your board by George J. SHllln c oOuS, TOT painting Union Depot and Ferry House, offering to complete the building In accordance with the schedules contained in their let ter, making all additions and reductions therein noted, for the sum of S313 S5, to be deducted from their contract, l beg to say that I have carefully gone over the quantities and prices, and in my opinion the figures are reasonable. Yours very truly, EDWARD R. SWAIN Architect Union Depot and Ferry House. All that remained to be done was &C., complished by Commissioner Colnon, who, as president of the board, affixed his signature to the proposition sub mitted by Smith & Sons.
 Other but smaller plums have, from time to time, fallen to the share of the painting contractor, but the foregoing will serve to show how the thing is done.
