PICKPOCKET CAUGHT IN
ACT OF ROBBING VICTIM

PBacidio G. Valencia was arrested
last night on Kearny street near Nor
ten and booked at the City Prison
for grand larceny. Valencia was seen
to pick the pocket of H. j. Hurst of
1647 Mission street of a watch and
fob. Hurst felt in his pocket imme-
diately after the touch and then called
for the police. Valencia was pointed
out and locked up by Policeman Pat
O'Brien. Just before his arrest he
threw the watch on the sidewalk,
where it was afterward found.
George Davis, George Foster and
Thomas Williams were arrested last
night by Detective Bunner and placed
on the detinue book on suspicion that
they were pickpockets. They were
captured at the corner of Haight and
Stanyan streets. Davis was pointed
'out to Bunner as a pickpocket from
Los Angeles by Detective Davis of the
same place. Thirty-five pickpocket re-
ports were read off to the various
watches last night. The light-fingered
gentry have been reaping a rich har-
vest by plying their trade among un-
sophisticated visitors, but all save a
few have eluded capture by the police.

SCHOOL FUNDS
CAUSE DEBATE
Berkeley Department Does
Not Relish the Action of
Board of Town Trustees
REQUIRED TO RETRENCH
Alameda Also Confronts a
Shortage and the Salaries
May Be Cut This Term

BERKELEY, Sept. 6.-The Board OF
Education must make the financial
ends of the School Department meet
again this year with 25-cent appor-
tionment. There is a good deal of dis
satisfaction with the Board OF Trus-
tees action last night in fixing the rate
at this figure, but 1t is too late now to
help it. Last year the rate was lowered
from 80 to % cents and this aroused the
School Directors almost to mandamus
proceedings. This year the Directors
hoped for something better, but they
are disappointed again. The trustees
take the view that the other depart
ments must not suffer for the schools
and that the only way the people VIII
be made to see the folly of tax rate
limited to rs cents is through the nom
advancement of the schools. The Irus-
tees are also aware that there VIII be
bond election before the year is out, SO
that there may be no need for 5U-
cent apportionment. OF the 20 cents,
16 cents will go to the High School
and cents to the grammar schools.
The apportionment to the library
fund Is increased from to 10 cents in
anticipation of the additional cost that
the removal to the Carnegie Library
will entail. The appointments to the
other funds are as follows: General, 81
cents; street, Is cents; sewer bond, 3
cents: school bond, 1892, cents; cleo
trio light bond, cents; school bond,
1900, cents. The total rate is SIS
cents for the support of the schools and
city and 25 cents for bond redemption.
ALAMEDA. Sept. 6.-The Alameda
Board of Education will ask the CITY
Trustees to appropriate $26,OO0 for the
public schools this year. DR.. Henry
NJ Pond of the Trustees has placed
himself on record as believing that the
