SAN FRANCISCO, April 24-Here is
the story of one lucky Japanese thief
who escaped the bullets of the military
authorities, ran the gauntlet of the
diamonds and jewels valued at $1,000,
and then fell into the hands of the
police.
Some time during the awful fire that
ragged Thursday and Friday nights, the
residence of Mrs. r. f. Beamer at
1415 Jones street was looted. Diamonds
and family jewels disappeared and when
Mrs. Beamer, knowing that her home
could not be saved, returned to recover
her valuable property all was gone.
|. The robbery was reported to Captain
of Detectives Burnett yesterday and
Detective Coleman was at once assigll-
ed to search for the stolen jeWelry.
Last night he found it ali where ii had
beer carried by the Japanese looter and
concealed in his home at 1928 Califor-
mia street. The Japanese, who gave the
name of S. Sasaka, was arrested by De-
tective Coleman and is now held civil
prisoner charged with grand larceny.
Valuable Records Saved
Cheering news reached police mead
quarters this morning relative to the
valuable records of the police identifica-
ton bureau. Photographs, Bertillon
measurements and the records of every
criminal in the city and many eastern
and foreign prisoners have been saved
from the ravages of the flames which
swept through the hall or justice.
When it became apparent that every
thing in the building was doomed to de-
struction, Detective Sergeant Thomas
| Gibson took charge of the work of saw
| ing the records of the Identification
bureau. They were carried out into
Portsmouth square and when during
the night the fire ragged so fiercely that
bodies of the dead in the square were
scorched, Detective Gibson and his as
sistants stood by with wet blankets to
cover the valuable papers and photo
graphs which could not be duplicated.
Officers Driven from Square
The officers were driven from the
square at last, but before going the
records were covered with fire proof
materials and an inspection made on
the order of Chief of Police Dinan this
morning showed that all were intact
| Property Clerk Dinan has hopes that
the valuables in his department are
safe. The attaches of his office placed
everything possible in the immense
steel vaults.
These receptacles seem to be intact.
Outside the vaults are warped and
twisted by the heat, but the hope of the
property clerk rests on the fact that the
vaults are said to be fireproof.
