FEMALE THIEVES
LINE STREETS.

woman pickpocket robbed David
Hodge, a carpenter living at 20 Ho1-
man avenue, of a watch valued at SIS
at 1 o'clock Sunday morning. Hodge
was slightly under the influence OF
liquor when the woman accosted him.
They walked along the street together
for less than half block, and then
the woman disappeared In a doorway.
Hodge thought nothing of the incident
until he happened to reach for his
watch. Then he realized that he had
been robbed.
The theft was reported to police
man, but no trace of the woman could
be found. She is evidently an expert
dip who has come here to prey on
the unwary.
Two days ago The Call published the
fact that Golden Gate avenue, Turk
and Eddy streets were lined from sun
down to sunrise by an expert gang of
pickpockets and a daring crowd Of
thugs.
Women whose pictures are in the
rogues' gallery may be seen elbowing
their way through the crowds or fire.
quenting the cafes that have sprung
up along those thoroughfares. Vice is
running riot and crime is uncontrolled.
while the police look idly at the car
nival of dissipation and wantonness.
Hodge can give only an imperfect
description of the woman. but the po-
lice know that she is one of the gang
that has been operating here during
the last month. They have drifted in
from all parts of the country Many
of those driven away at the time OF
the fire have returned again and in the
new tenderloin have found a field both
safe and profitable.
Hodge is one of many who have been
fieeced by these women. But few of
the reports ever reach the public, but
crimes are of nightly occurrence. The
disreputable houses, the gambling sa-
looms and the all night cafes are only
a few Of the evils that beset the city.
The new San Francisco has become a
haven for the disreputable OF all
classes, and before the winter has
passed the record of crime will be
greater than II has been for years.

RaRBI VI. :. LEVY ADDRESSES
FIVE HUNDRED REFUGEES

A service for the Sabbath OF Re-
pentance. presided over by Rabbi NJ.
8. Levy Of the Congregation Beth Is
rael. called together over 500 refugees

noon. The service was held near the
site OF the Deer Park Hospital and the

itude shown by the refugees for the

The rabbi in his sermon dwelt brleny
upon the nature of the day He spoke
hopefully and encouragingly of the fu-
ture outlook and reminded those who
have sought shelter In the camps OF the
gratitude they must feel for the kind
ness Of the people Of the nation He
also asked them to endeavor to re-
main the best Of citizens and extended
them the wish of a prosperous new
year. At the conclusion of his remarks
he was heartily applauded.

There is much need of the new
school Besides the old school building
the hall back of the church has been
pressed into service, but so many more
children have found their way into the
district during the past year that even
the annex has proved too small to ac-
commodate all the pupils.
Contractor R. Ehrhart was asked to
rush work on the new building. The
foundation has been laid and the
building was to be completed by
January 1. The lack of lumber, how
ever, may cause some delay, although
the contractor says he will add a large
force of men, and If possible the build
