DETECTIVE ROBBED
OF ROGUES' PHOTOS
Sergeant Thomas Ryan Has Ex-
citing Experience With
Trio at Santa Cruz

Detective Sergeant Thomas Ryan
was held up recently at Santa Cruz
by three men, one OF whom he knocked
out. the second of whom was caught
by his companion, Detective Mulcahy,
but the third of whom got away with
a bulky wallet from Ryan's pocket
and is still at large
The wallet contained, instead of a
roll Of banknotes. fine assortment of
portraits from the rogues' gallery,
which Ryan had with him from the
San Francisco Office for convenience
in Identifying any eastern operators
met with. Jostled rudely in the crowd
one day on both his left and right,
Ryan Immediately punched the fellow
in front Of him to such good effect
that It was three hours later when
George Farrell, recently released from
prison, woke UP in the emergency hos
pital to find himself again a prisoner
Seeing the game was up, FarrelPs
two companions had bolted away, but
Mulcahy. at a distance taking in the
situation, overhauled one of them, who
turned out to be Tom Hale, likewise
recently discharged from Jail. Ryan,
busy with Farrell at his feet, did not
notice the absence of his wallet for
some time, and ii now appears that
the only member of the gang that got
away carried with him the booty.

IF we had Roosevelt over in Aus

him because they believe in him He
is the forerunner OF the new diplomacy.
In the olden days to be a diplomat a
man had first to qualify as q liar.
Rocsevelt's diplomacy is founded on
truth"
No. I am not connected with the
government. 1 am too independent for
that 1 love my liberty too much.
Your American manners amuse me.
In Mexico and Nevada everybody
wanted to sell me mining stock The
Americans are very curious. In FL

Physician Found Unconscious
on the Street Dies at the
University Hospital


Detectives are investig the
death of DR.. Thomas Conrad. who was
found in an unconscious condition on
the night OF May Z at the corner Of
Central avenue and Haight street.
1t was the opinion at the time that
DR.. Conrad, whose residence was at 90
De Long avenue, was hit by an auto
mobile whose occupants. in their anx-
iety to escape detection, had hurried
away. leaving no trace OF their iden-
tity.
AS soon as he was discovered he was
taken to the Central emergency hos
pital, where IL was found that his
skull was fractured. He was removed
to the University hospital the next
morning and died there at 7:30 yes
terday morning.
Detectiv es Purcell and Field, who
have been assigned to the case, are
working on the theory that Conrad
was hit on the head by some person,
instead of by an automobile

FIRST RECORD OF CREATION

Christian Science holds unequivo-
cally to the first record of creation.
Accordingly, in declaring the science
of man. it presents him as the full.
complete and perfect representative OF
God; as his idea or divine image or
likeness; even your true, invisible and
eternal self. which likeness alone is
real. 1t presents man not as a sinner
from the beginning, nor, indeed. a
man after the order of Adam: animal
in form, nature. habit and desire-clad
in fieshly habiliments. controlled and
intimidated by finite beliefs-but as
an individual, mental or spiritual, In
corporeal being, God like in nature
and expressing and rejecting the at
tributes Of the Infinite Creator.
Jesus demonstrated this now or
perfect man, and while he proved his
sovereignty over all material con-
cepts, conditions and limitations. he
witnessed that his kingdom was, after
all, not of this world.
