4 COOK WHO TURNS ROBBER Bruno Meyer Is Arrested on a Serious
 Charge.
Accused of Forcibly Purloining a Gold Watch and
 Chain.
The Complaining Witness Is E. Null Ter, Bartender in the Man
 hattan Saloon.

Bruno Meyer, a cook, was arrested at an early hour yesterday morning on a charge of robbery. The complain ing witness is E. Muller, bartender in the Manhattan saloon, Erie and Mission streets.
 Muller was on his way home about o'clock in the morning after closing the saloon. He had about S100 in his pockets, and, as he was afraid that he might be held up, he carried a re- volver in his overcoat pocket. He ad mitted that he had been drinking per haps more than was good for him. When he reached Sixteenth and Capp streets a man came up to him and asked him where he was going. Being in genial mood Muller began to converse with the stranger, who suddenly grabbed hold of his watch chain, pulled his watch out of his pocket and ran toward Mission street. Although he had the revolver Muller did not use it, but instead blew a police whistle, which attracted the attention of Police man Kearney, who was standing on Sixteenth and Mission streets. Rear ney observed a man running toward tllIIi, anu COICluUlilS that ne Hdu SOIllS- thing to do with the whistling he or dered him to stop. The man bent down and Kearney thought he was intending to pick up cobble-stone, so he made a rush at him, and without resistance placed him under arrest. Muller had followed the robber, and he told Rear ney that he had been relieved of his gold watch and chain. Kearney took them both to the Seventeenth-St Police station, and when searched the watch and chain were not found on Meyer, who vigorously denied that he knew anything about it. When Muller was searched the revolver was found in his overcoat pocket, and he was booked for carrying a concealed weapon. He at once gave $50 cash bail and was released. Lieutenant Burke sent Kearney and another off, cer back to look for the watch and chain. and they had with them the headlight of the patrol-wagon to help them. Just at the spot where Kearney had observed Meyer to bend down they found the watch and chain, and returned with them to the police sta tion and the charge of robbery was booked against Meyer.
 Meyer sad that he was out at Ocean View Saturday night and was drinking with some friends. He missed the last car and had to walk home. He lives on Bush street, near Kearny. When he got to Sixteenth and Capp streets a man took hold of him and said he was a special officer. He accused Meyer of robbing him and blew police whistle. when an officer who was across the street came over and arrested him

Miss Gooch Married.
Expected to Die.

ALAMEDA. Jan. 3O.-Theodor Meetz, the aged capitalist and street-car man. whose leg was amputated several days ago, is very low and is not expected to live through the night.
 MT Meetz was a native of Germany and was 77 years old. He had resided in this country many years, for the past thirty years in Alameda. He was one Of the largest property owners in the city, own ing some large tracts in the west end Of town. He leaves a widow but no chil- dren. He was the first man to build and operate street railroad between this city and Oakland, and in the heyday of the bathing and picnic resorts at the west end he made much money Subse- quently he sold out his carline interests to the electric company which now oper- ates them.

made sanitary. The Treasurer cannot have strong box built in his office be- cause the joists are not fit to hold it and 1t would tumble into the jail below There have been instances in which prisoners have with ease made holes in the stone walls and walked through to liberty. The City Engineer has long been crowded out and has to occupy rented quarters across the street The City Attorneys office is not a decent size for an ante-room, and-but why go further? The place is a disgrace to Oakland; compared with Alameda everybody should blush. This is not matter of sentiment but of urgent ne- cessity and the Mayors words should be acted upon.
 There has been a disposition on the part of some to place the Oakland Im- proVement Club and the Eben Society m false position regarding their re- latlons to each other. One of the lead ing members of the Ebell has outlined the stand of these bodies and it shows conclusively that each is energetically pursuing the line of work for which it was organized
 "The improvement club" said she, was formed to do what the Ebell So- ciety, as an organization, could not do. It was designed to be so broad and far-reaching that people belonging to i all organizations could be included. In l all of the sessions that I have attended l have never yet heard one word about 1 uniting, although it is true that there | are a number of Ebell ladies who be- l long to the improvement club, but they 1 belong only as individuals Dr. Myra ] Knox has not withdrawn from the i'm 1 provement club. She will remain as member and as president; but she has found that she was giving more time l to the club than she could afford to i take from her profession, and it is probable that henceforth she will not be so active as she has been in the past. The club will go on with its present lines of work. including the street cleaning; the latter was pro- jected to continue till May, by which time it is hoped the city government will take that matter off the clubs hands"
 This information is authoritative and should settle all doubt.

John Raddich. cook, 42 years of age, was knocked down by train al the narrow-g gauge mole this morning, and so severely injured on the head that no hope is held out for recovery. He was, with some companions, hunting, but no one saw the accident. One reported that Raddich put his head up through the trestle, while others declare that he was lodging one train and was knocked down by another. His skull was badly frac- tured, and Drs. Stratton, Milton, Fisher and Logan operated upon it. They do not think he will live.

Stratton, Wilcox and Sanborn.
 John Flaherty came to the hospital. having driven a pick through his foot. Flaherty dressed it with a quid of to- bacco that he was chewing, and the wound, said to be on account of the saliva, is poisoned. It may cause the loss of the foot.
