ROBBED 4
 NUMBER OF
 TELEPHONES w. Hare, a Young Man, Caught in
 the Act. Tried to Open a Box in a Sixth Street
 Saloon.

William Hare, who is said to be well connected, was arrested last night while in the act of rif1ing a telephone box in a sa- loon on Sixth street, near Howard. Foe some time past a number of telephone boxes have been broken open and their contents taken. The manager of the tel ephone company enlisted the services of the police, with special instructions to arrest the culprits, as they had injured their business.
 Shortly after o'clock last night a spe- cial officer, whose beat Is on Sixth street, happened to visit the saloon near How ard and discovered Hare, who is only IS years of age, in the act of rif1ing the teie- phone box. He had a steel jimmy in his hand and was vainly endeavoring to open for several minutes and realizing that he intended to secure the contents of the box, the special accosted him and asked him what he was doing. For reply the youthful culprit struck him In the face and started to run away. The officer, with the assistance of a bystander, after short struggle. placed him under arrest He was then turned over to a regular pO- lice officer and taken to police headquar- ters, where his name was registered on used was found in his coat pocket
 Hare, who seems to be an innocent appearing youth. claimed that his father Is cigar manufacturer on Sixth street, and that the supposed jimmy he carried was used by him In making cigar boxes.
 He declared that he did not try to rifle the box, but was at loss to explain how 1t was he had inserted the jimmy in the door of the receptacle. The police claim that Hare answers the description of one robbing telephone boxes. To-day a thor ough investigation will be made, and the detectives believe they will connect Hare with at least some of the numerous

A. (. WIDBER
 IS REINDICTED A Budget of Important Busi- ness Transacted by the
 Grand Jury.
The Alleged Jobbery in the Ferry Depot Will Also Be Invcs-
 tigated.

At the session of the Grand Jury last night the chief business transacted was in connection with the Widber deficit The defaulting treasurer had already been indicted of embedding the lump sum of $16,0OO. but as it has since been dis covered that the actual amount is $117- OS3 79. he was reindicted for the full amount, In order to preclude the possi- bli1ties Of any technicalties arising from the fact that he was not indicted for the full amount.
 Mayor Phelan, Chief Lees and Chief Deputy de la Montanya were placed on the stand and testified that a formal demand had been made on the eX-TreaSurer for the missing money, but he had said that he was unable to produce It. Christian Reis, Widber's successor, also testified that he had made a formal written de- mand on Widber for the money
 The case of E. J. Stanton. who brought the sensational charges of corruption against Dr. Ragan, was next taken up, and the ex-teacher was indicted for ex- tortion. The Manley will case was also taken up, but the examination was not finished. It will be resumed at the next session.
 There is still much important business to come before the jury, and two special sessions will be held. On Wednesday the frauds charged in connection with the purchasing of school supplies will be taken up, and on Friday the alleged frauds in the construction of the ferry depot will be Investigated.

MOROSCO'S.

Lettie Le Vyne, in "The Wicklow Post man., was the morceau that Manager Morosco offered to a large audience last night. The play is a comedy drama that permits of a number of speciality intro auctions. The sweet melodies of the Elm erald Isle were well rendered oy the Acme Quartet and a number of the members of the company. But Miss Le Vyne, with an especially sweet contralto voice, was stantaneous hit. Her rendition of an Irish colleen was subdued well-sus- tained and natural. She introduced
 among other numbers, the new patriotic song, Remember, Boys, the Maine" Her costumes were very fetching, dis playing her shapely figure to advantage. Fred J. Butler in the leading role, re- ceived much applause for his clever work.

tention to the organized and persistent efforts made by the best people of the Mission and of the city to prevent the consummation of the purchase. "Why are these people so anxious to have us spend our money?'' he asked. Where had the project its origin? The scheme was con cocted in q downtown lawyers office where about a dozen men were present about a year ago. 1 have been informed that they bonded this tract and some ad- joining land to a certain real estate agent for S3O0 GOO, yet an attempt is being made to sell to the city a part of this tract for $3S7,OQo ,, He asserted that the money asked for the purchase of this tract could be much better used for the erec- ton of schoolhouses, for the paving of streets, for new hospital and for inn proved sewerage, and added that not less than $2oOOOO would be required for the maintenance and improvement of the land He paid tribute to The Call for its stand in the interests of the people and the taxpayers. e stated that the owner of The Call was a resident of the Mission and a large property-owner in that district, yet he was opposed to the zoo.

 candor be said that the very large audi ence that filled the auditorium at the Alcazar last night to laugh at the "Gay Parisians" missed none of the innocent though a trihe suggestive sparkle of the best of French farces. The piece went with snap and a crisp adroitness that left no time for pause between the con- stant bursts of merriment which greeted the funny situations
 Stockwell was in his best vein as the middle-aged deceiver, and Wallace Shaw as the stutterer gave him able support, playing Mathieu with naturalness which rendered his malapropos appear ances all the more ludicrous. Mrs, F. M. Bates as Angelique and Miss Gertrude Foster as Marcelle Paillard were not more than equaled by the two leading men of the piece. Between the first and second acts Miss Foster rected a Cuban selection, full of patriotism, and feel ing that brought down the house. The farce was as well received as it was on its first presentation in this city and bids fair to pile up run of several weeks.

NANCY HANKS.

Nancy Hanks was entitled to bet ter house than was accorded it at the Columbia last night, for it is farce of some merit and the performance was on the whole an improvement on that of the past week. Marie Jansen appeared to somewhat better advantage than before and the company too did better.
 Harry Beresford played the French man, the Marquis de la Rochelle, grace fully and temperately both as to dialect and action, and Richard Chandos was fairly well cared for by Clarence Mon taine; but if it would not be an unpatri- otic thing to do just now it might help the roll materially if Mir. Montaine would train on enchiladas and throw a little more chii into his work.
