NAB TREASURER AS
FUGITIVE RObBER

OAKLAND, Nov. 27-After conceal
Ing his identity for months under an
assumed name and securing position
OF trust in the Office of an Oakland
evening newspaper, E. E. Loomis. for
whom the authorities of Brooklyn, N.
T., have been searching, was arrested
in this city today. He will be taken
back to Brooklyn to face a charge OF
grand larceny.
> Loomis was apprehended on tele-
graphic instructions from New York, in
which no information regarding the
case was given The fugitive was cap
tured through the clever work of De-
tective McSorley, who has been search
ing for him for several weeks. Loomis
was arrested at Broadway and F'if-
teenth street, just otter leaving the
postoffice. So complete was the iden-
ti1cation made by McSorley that on
being confronted with the facts at the
police station Loomis readily admitted
that he was the man wanted. He re-
fused to talk of the case.
For some time past, under the name
of A. A. Cooke, Loomis has been as
sistant treasurer in the Office of the
Oakland Tribune, where he was looked
upon as thoroughly reliable and
competent man. His employers were
much surprised when they were told
that he had been arrested on felony
charge. The Brooklyn authorities were
notified of the arrest, and the prisoner
will be held until the arrival of an
officer from that city.
Since his arrival here Loomis, who
was accompanied by his wife in his
fight, has been living on Hawthorne
street. near Telegraph avenue. After
his arrest he was joined at the City
Prison by Mrs. Loomis, who is heart
broken over the Imprisonment of her
husband.

Secretary Metcalf at the White House
tonight regarding the alleged discrim-

of San Francisco maintain that their
stand in the matter of school accom-
