THIEVES TUNNEL
TO A WAREHOUSE
Much Wheat Has Been
Stolen in Stockton.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON. Nov 16.-The other day a
large tier OF wheat in one of the water
front warehouses suddenly collapsed and
upon investigation it was found that the
warehouse had been undermined from
Stockton channel and that thieves had
been stealing wheat on a large scale
During the summer and autumn when so
much wheat is left upon the wharves,
there Is always some loss by petty thiev-
ing and IL was known that now and then
sack or two had been taken. but no one
had any idea that. such extensive opera
tions were contemplated, "
The work had been cleverly done. The
warehouse stands back some distance
from the channel and the thieves had
rowed under the wharf and run tunnel
to the warehouse and through the brick
foundation of the building. A hole was
then cut in the floor Of the warehouse,
sacks cut open and the grain run down a
chute into a boat and taken away. 1t lis
not known exactly how much was taken
in that way, but 1t must have been con-
siderable. When the sacks collapsed the
tunnel was discovered. The sacks were
replaced and the. matter kept quiet, in
the hope of finding the thieves, but they
did not attempt any more operations. II
is supposed that they found out that their
work had been discovered

STOLEN JEWELS
FOUND ON HER
MANGLED BODY
Della Tracy's !Hus-
band Is Missing.

Charged With Breaking Into a House

Him.
SAID TO BE A BOLD BURGLAR
HIS PAL NOW AN INMATE OF
FOLSOM PRISON.

The detectives are satisfied that the va
rious articles Of jewelry which were found
on the body OF Della Tracy, who was
foully murdered in Turk street lodging
house last week. did not rightfully come
into her possession. They claim with con-
siderable positiveness that the jewelry
was stolen by the man who she claimed
was her husband. The jewelry is now
in the hands of the police and they are
making every effort TO find the owner Of
the property.
According TO the detectives who are
working on the case. Tracy and former
pal named Mason, who is now serving q
nve-year term in Folsom, some time ago
robbed the safe in the Louvre at the in
tersecton Of OFarren and Market
streets and secured some valuable pa-
sent letter To Schwartz, the proprietor.
telling him that they would meet him at
a certain hour at the ferry and return
SlOO
Schwartz went to the ferry and was
met by q stranger, who whispered 10 him
that he had the stolen documents The
proprietor of the Louvre foolishly gave
the stranger the amount asked for and
was handed over the papers. After re-
turning TO his place Of business he noti-
ned the police Of his transaction and two
detectives were at once sent to the ferry
10 apprehend the mysterious stranger
Atter "a diigent search they failed TO find
him.
The detectives also claim that Tracy
was with Mason when the latter broke
into house on Oak street and got away
with considerable jewelry AS. they We're
leaving the house one of the occupants
opened fire on them. but failed to stop
their flight: Mason was shortly after
ward arrested for the crime, but for lack
of evidence he was acquitted A few
weeks later he broke into the room of a
Mrs. Hill in the Parmalee House and stole
several hundred dollars worth of jew
elry. 1t Is claimed that Tracv was with
him at the time. but did not enter the
room. Subsequently Mason was arrested
and charged with burglary. He was con-
victed of the crime in the Superior Court
and was sent to Folsom for five years.
The unfortunate woman had been living
with Tracy for some time; and il is
claimed she was familiar with his nefa-
rions calling. The finding of the stolen
iewelry on her body exposed her hus-
band character. and now the police are
looking for Tracy. g.:
Since the jewelry was turned over 10
the police Tracy. evidently fearing arrest,
has left the city. Last night Captain
Bohen had Detective Ed Gibson securing
the city for Tracy, as he is very anxious
70 interview him in regard 70 the sup
posed stolen jewelry. Gibson visited the
various naunts Of criminals in the ten
derloin district, but failed 10 get a trace
Of the much sought for man..
To-day the police will redouble their ef-
forts in apprehending Tracy.

Then one of the males flies TO a fui1

The Roman wall of London touched the
river at the point where the. tower

lies AT the base of some OF the existing

Roman remains close to the white tower
IS Interesting, as showing that IL was

These relics inspected. the passage and

workmen having lighted the interior with

size and aspect. The bottom OF the SUBJ

by which, no doubt. the prisoner who \ as

by a strong iron grille firmly imbedded in
the masonry: at IT'S other end is the. dun

originally vaulted, and measuring about
seven feet across. When the opening OF
the shaft above was closed no ray of light
could. penetrate into this terrible prison
save that which came-if, indeed. even
that could come-froms the opening far
away IN the moat. The exploration OF
another subterranean passage leads into
1t at right angles from the Traitors Gate
so that IL Is probable that a prisoner
brought into the tower by water through
that gate could have been put into the
passage withont setting foot on the
ground. However this may be II Is GER
