ABE RUFF PERFECTLY
SATISFIED WITH THE
ELECTION OF GILLETT
By Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.-When
Abraham Ruef was asked last night
if he was satisfied with the results of
the election he said:
at seems to be a complete victory
for u.s. We have elected Gillett, as 1
predicted we would. That was no sur
prise to me.
1--WE have got everything we went out
for except Lawlor and we will get him
next time.
1--WE have elected all our assembly,
men and senator's with one exception.
Yes, I refer to French, and he was ad-
vised by me not to run.
LAS to the judges it seems now that
the four elected are Coffey, Graham,
Lawlor and Mogan in that order.
But the defeat of judges has no bear
ing whatever on the investigation. I
know the newspapers have been making
a fight against them and expected that
they would have effected public opinion
more than they seem to have done.
If 1 owned four newspapers 1 would
have done better than that"
Francis j. Heney said:
"This is the most overwhelming VIC
tory for decency and good government
that San Francisco has ever had"

TODAY ENDS THE
CITY REGISTRATION

This is the last day on which
registration can be made for
the city election December 4.
1t will not be necessary for
those who registered for the
state and county election to
again register, but those whose
names have not been placed on
the great register between the
time of the opening of the reg
ister last summer and tonight
will not be permitted to vote
at the coming election.
The non-partisan committee
is making every effort to Sc
cure full registration, in the
belief that the greater the
number of registrars the great
er will be the vote in favor of
the non-jartisan ticket, headed
by Lee c. Gates for mayor.

EmpIoye of Merchants Fire Dispatch
confesses After Two Hours Of
Questioning by Police
Officials

Daniel, ]. Landy, Oil Diamond street,
employed, as watchman by the Mer-
chants Fire Dispatch, was detected
last night in the act of taking 1925
from the cash register in the office of
the Los Angeles laundry, San Fernan-
do street and Bellevue avenue.
This discovery Is believed to solve
the mystery that has surrounded the
thefts of small amounts of money that
have been occurring at the laundry
office almost nightly for some time.
The exact amount of money taken dur
ing the period that the thefts have been
known could not be learned, but it is
over hundred dollars.
Landy was conducting a man who
was to take his place as watchman
over the beat he has been covering for
the purpose of familiarizing him with
the duties and territory.
When they entered the laundry office
Landy was seen to go behind the coun-
ter and take the money from the cash
drawer. A private guard employed by
the laundry to investigate the mysteri-
GUS thefts witnessed the act.
The guard notified the police at once
of what he had seen, and while Landy
was still showing his successor through
the laundry building Detectives McNa-
mara and Craig arrived to arrest him.
When questioned at the detective Of
flee Landy at first stoutly denied that
he had stolen the money. But after
being submitted to the most rigorous
sweating for over two hours he at last
confessed that he was guilty of the

San Francisco Thug Breaks Down and

Committed

Bv Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. with the
confession of John Siemsen, alias Simp-
son, before them, verifying in every
particular the stories of robberies and
murder told by his confederate and
dupe, 1S-year-old Louis V. Dabner, the
police are bending every effort to COM
plete the chain of evidence they believe
will give both men swift transit to
the gallows.
The third man in the Behrend rob-
ney, former convict who was serving
term OF five years at Folsom for
burglary committed in this city at
the time Siemsen, alias Simpson, was a
prisoner there.
| He was employed in plumbing shop
at Sacramento and came down to San
Francisco on the day before the Beh-
rend robbery. He took meals at the
home of Siemsen and Dabner on Union
street and was with the thugs for some
time, but disappeared Immediately af-
ter the commission of the crime.
Every police department in the coun-
try has been warned to look out for
him, and 1t was In the hope that pub
licity would aid in his capture that

Wet who was sent to Folsom from Los

ROBBERS BATTLE
WITH CAR MEN
CONTINUED from Page one.S

ber dashed back across the bridge,
picking up his hat as he ran. His
companion attempted to pull the con-
ductor from the car. but passengers
dragged the car man back to safety
at the expense of his vest, which was
torn in two. AS last resort one of
the robbers grasped the conductors
coat and pulled 1t over his head.
Whether that was an attempt to cause
the money to spill out from the coat
pockets to the bridge or whether 1t
was an effort to blind the conductor
for a moment cannot be conjectured,
but both attempts failed of success,
for James Burgess of 3017 Guirado
street, a passenger who was the only
one near, enough to reach the robbers,
struck with his fist and sent the as
sailant reeling from the car.
That the robbery was carefully
planned was evident, for not until
after the attack was completed and
the car moved some distance was the
emergency signal given the motorman
and the car brought to a standstill
near the center of the briGge.
Reports to the Police
In the meantime the position of the
conductor at the top of the car steps
and the assailants on the bottom step
prevented the men in the rear of the
car from going to the conductors as
sistance. while those in the front,
among them a deputy sheriff, did not
know of the attack until the emer-
gency signal was given and passen-
gers leaped In pursuit. But that was
useless, for the assailants had dashed
back to the bridge and around under
1t to the river bed, where pursuit In
the darkness was futile. The conduc-
tor and passengers searched the street
near the car track for several coins
which the conductor had dropped dur
ing his struggle and in the hope that
the men might have dropped the
watch as they ran, but their efforts
met with failure and the conductor.
after reporting the affair to the COM
pany and to the police, proceeded
with his car.
''They jostled me as soon as they
got on the car" stated the conductor.
"As soon as 1 noticed the tall man
ring the bell ordered him to stop and
Immediately he started to swear at
me. AS 1 went toward him his COM
panion jostled me and then went for
assistance. They left the car and
when 1 started the car again they
leaped on the step and struck me and
one of them grabbed my watch. broke
the chain and escaped with 1t toward

Dick Brahic was the principal
factor in keeping hits and runs down

fourth inning. The Indians hit. not
only when they needed them to tally

proper thing to. do. The Indians
seemed to have formed the hitting

In the fourth inning the Indians
forced two tallies across the plate.
Taylor grounded out and Perry was
successful in getting compliment
