STEALS JEWELRY
WORTH $4,000.
Thief Makes Away With
Gems and Watches
From a Gilroy Store

SAN JOSE. July PA clever thief
last night succeeded in stealing from
the trunk of a jewelry drummer in Gil
roy diamonds, watch cases and rings
worth between $4,000 and $4,000. The
robbery occurred in the jewelry store
of Harry Frutig. The junior member
of the firm of Eisenberg & Eisenberg
of San Francisco owned the jewelry.
Eisenberg arrived in Gilroy last
night on the $40 train, and was en-
gagged in displaying his wares in Fru-
tig's store until about 10 o'clock. Upon
leaving the store the trunks were closed
and allowed to remain in the building.
This morning 1T was found that the
store had been entered and one of the
trunks looted. The most valuable part
Of the stock taken consisted of dia-
monds In addition were many gold
watch cases and a lot Of rings. No
definite clew has been discovered.

who have given much thought to the
political menace involved in a Govern
ment ownership plank in the next Dem
ocratic national platform.
This is live issue in the South, more
so, in fact. than the people of other sec
tions of the country can possibly appre-
ciate. 1t touches the very center of
that great bugaboo, race equality, an
issue that never fails to wipe out all
political lines so far as the white voter
is concerned.
Southern Democrats have been
alarmed by recent utterances of Mr..
Bryan on questions affecting the man
agement of public utilities. He has
publicly advocated state ownership OF
railroads and unless called of by polit-
ical friends will urge absolute Federal
ownership.

THAW MAY TENANT
LUNAT|C'S CELL.
Prisoners Mother Will
Ask High Court to
Adjudge Him Insane
PLAN Of COUNSEL

NEW YORK, July 24.-Although
neither the District Attorney nor his
own counsel will request 1t, Harry
Thaw may yet be called upon to face
lunacy commission if the plans limited
at today as being entertained by his
mother be carried into execution
Unprecedented in criminal procedure.
the present intention is for Mrs Will
liam Thaw, as nearest of kin, to apply
to the Supreme Court for an order di-
recting inquiry into her sons sanity
If such a test, at which all the evil
dence gathered by Black, Olcott, Gruber
s. Bonynge could be presented, were to
result in a verdict of insanity, Thaw's
Incarceration would be ordered, with
his mother as a committee of person
and estate. Such an order, emanating
fl ON a superior tribunal after the hear
ing of competent testimony, would be
binding upon the lower court before
which Thaw would answer for the kill
ing of Stanford White. Accepting the
ruling, the trial Judge would be under
the necessity of ordering his commit
ment to an asylum for the criminal in
sane, from which he could be released
only after the usual motions in the
court of original jurisdiction. -
Much speculation was caused at the
District Attorneys office late this aft
ernoon by the appearance there of a
new witness in the Thaw case, whose
identity none of the officials concerned
would make known. She was a woman
past 40 years of age. She came to the
Criminal Courts building in company
with P. L. Bergoff, the detective whom
Stanford White employed when he is
said to have feared injury from Thaw.
The detective and the woman went to
the Office of Assistant District Attor-
ney Turnbull, where they were closeted
for an hour, a .stenographer being In
attendance. A great deal of attention
seemed to be paid to the woman, and
her appearance so late in the day was
taken to mean that she had something
of Importance to contribute to the Dis
trict Attorneys case.

MURPHY LEANS TOWARD HEARST.
Hints That the Editor VIII Have the

NEW YORK, July 24.-Charles F..

today that it was possible that Tam
many Hall would support William R.
Hearst for the Democratic nomination
for Governor in the next State conven-
ton. Murphy said:
Mind, I do not commit myself. I
do not say that Tammany will be for
Hearst. 1 only say that his opposition
to our ticket last year will not of itself
make it impossible for Tammany to
support him in the convention"
Murphy said that he had no opinion
to express at this time as to whether
or not Hearst would be nominated

STONE TO SUCCEED TAGGART.
Likely to Manage the Next Campaign
for the Democracy.

WASHINGTON. July "a. Senator
William ]. Stone of Missouri is being
tipped by wise politicians as the next
chairman of the Democratic national
committee to succeed Thomas Taggart
of Indiana. This tip comes from the
camp that flies the banner Of William j.
Bryan and is predicated on the assump-
ton that Mr.. Bryan will be the Democ-
racy's candidate in 1908.
If Bryan be nominated he will, of
course select the man to manage his
campaign, and his friends here promise
that he will name one who is shrewd
politician with whom he is on terms of
close personal intimacy and who is a
Western man Senator Stone is said to
fill this bill to a nicely.

DECLARES AGAINST
THE GLOBE CAFE.
A Noisy Resort in the
Residence District Is
Visited by a Supervisor

The attention of the Board of Super
visors has been called to the manner
in which the Globe restaurant at 618
Franklin street is conducted. The cafe
is the haunt of chauffeurs and their
ladies" Early yesterday evening Su-
pervisor Lonergan as a committee of
one visited the place and gathered evil
dence which he says is sufficient to
warrant the withdrawal of the eating
houses license.
Right in the heart of the residence
district, just off Golden Gate avenue.
the feeding place is located. A large
illuminated sign bearing the word
Globe" attracts the questionable
classes. At all hours cursing, singing
and loud talking can be heard coming
from the restaurant.
Drivers of gasoline carriages and
their gaudily dressed female compan-
ions frequent the house. There is a
piano, and ribald songs are sung in the
faces of respectable persons who may
wander innocently into the cafe for a
meal Rows of curtained boxes line the
sides of the dining-room and from
these may be heard the vulgar talk and
obscene stories.
Last night, unnoticed, Supervisor
Lonergan sat at table and took in
the situation. When he left he said
that the disgraceful conduct at the
place would have to cease. He init
mated that he would take steps at
once to prevent the congregation of
such characters and may advise the
canceling of the license. The police
seem to have overlooked this house
Lonergan said last night to a Call re-
porter: THE place is one that should
be closed The talk that one hears is
filthy. / have been a silent auditor of
all that has gone on tonight and will
see that such conduct is discontinued

CLOTHES MADE FROM WOOD
Strong Probability of the Future, Ac-
cording to a Technical
Authority.

1T will probably not be very long
before we can go into one of the dry
goods stores and say to a clerk: Let
me see what you have in the line of
wooden suits He may reply: Hard
or soft? whereupon It will be our part
to specify that we want a suit of good
pine. without any cheap sapwood.
Vests of this kind are already worn by
the carding-room foremen in some of
the wooden mills. The material re-
sembles a stiff. thick cloth, and is APP
parently as durable as leather. 1t is
not improbable that In the future
cheap suits, costing about 80 cents,
and guaranteed to last for years. will
be made of spruce or pine. Napkins,
shirts, collars of the finest quality have
long been made from the fiber OF
hemp; and. in using wood for heavier
cloth, the process Is equally simple.
The wood is first ground into a soft
pulp, and this pulp is pressed through
holes In iron plates. 1t comes out In
long ropes about one-half inch in diam
eter. These ropes. which are very cas-
lily broken at this stage, are dried, and
then twisted tightly, till finally they
become as small as threads. Part of
the threads are used for the warp and
part for the filling, out of which a
strong web Of wooden cloth is woven"
