CLAD IN PAJAMAS, CHASES
BURGLAR IN STREET
PurSuer Fires Shots After Flee.
ing Man Who Entered
His Room

CARRIED in a pair of silk pajamas,
William Boots, a guest at the Hotel
San Reno, Lagpna and McAllister
streets, braved the chilling air of Sun
day night in pursuit of a bold thief,
who had entered his room. AS Boots
followed his man he fired numerous
shots, attracting the attention of Po-
liceman Thomas Collier, who assisted
in the chase. which proved futile.
Shortly after midnight Boots was
awakened by unfamiliar sounds in his
room. In the light that glimmered
through window he discerned a bur-
glar at work ransacking bureau draw
ers. In the excitement of the moment
Boots picked up shoe and hurled it
at the intruder. The burglar dived
through a window and alighted upon
the fire escape outside. Recovering his
composure, he then clambered down the
steel ladder with wonderful agility.
Boots arose, and, with pistol in hand,
dashed down two flights of stairs after
the man. Boots arrived in the street
just in time to see the thief rush into
an alley way. Policeman Collier joined
in the chase, but the thief, apparently
familiar with the neighborhood, lodged
into a blind alley and was lost to view.
The police learned that Boots lost a
gold watch and several diamond pins,
which he priced highly.

MAJOR PICKETT MUST
FACE RETIRING BOARD
Orders Are Surprise, as Officer
Was Examined Six
Months Ago

Much surprise was occasioned in
army circles yesterday by the orders
from Washington. ordering Major
board inasmuch as he was before a
similar board at this post only six
months since. That board decided
that, although the hearing of Major
Pickett was slightly defective, it was
no worse than it was when he entered
the army, and they could see no reason
for his retirement. That was supposed
TO end the matter.
The orders came by wire yesterday
to General F. A Smith to have the new
retiring board, of which he / at pres
ent the head, meet as soon as practical.
The new board is composed of General
Smith, Colonel Lundeen, Colonel Marsh
and Major Kennedy. None of the Off
GERS at the department could throw any
light upon the reasons for the second
attempt to retire Pickett. Major Pick
EFT was equally in the dark. but inti-
mated that he must have some personal
enemy at washington who is seeking
his retirement.
Pickett has been paymaster in the
army since February s, 1901 He sue
cessfully passed all the riding tests
that were ordered by President Roose-
Welt and the army surgeons pronounced
him sound physically, with the excep-
tion of the slight defect in his hearing.
Major Pickett is a son Of the late Gen
eral Pickett, made famous by the
Pickett charge" during the civil war.
Two other officers will come before
the board that Pickett is to appear be-
fore They are Captain Edward Bell
and Captain w. II. Chapman.

SMART SET TURNS
OUT AT BENEFIT
Benevolent Performance Of
"Glittering Gloria at VaIen-
cia Draws Packed House

Wholehearted interest and generosity
made a success of the benefit perform
ance of "Glittering Gloria" last night at
the Valencia theater, when the proceeds
of the performance were turned over to
the woman's auxiliary of the California
prison commission to aid in the build
ing of the new commission home and
clubhouse. A packed house and a gen
erous attendance of society people made
the affair one of the most brilliant that
the Valencia theater has known.
The financial success of the benefit
was equal to the brightest expectations
of the patronesses, who strove hard to
realize a large sum for the aid of the
work which the prison commission is
doing among ex-convicts from the state
penitentiaries. Not only was the house
practically sold out, but a considerable
sum was realized from the sale of SOU
venir programs.
The theater was tastefully decorated
for the occasion, national flags and the
California bear flag forming the feature
of the scheme. At the beginning of the
performance the entire audience arose
during the playing of America" and
the several special numbers interpo-
lated in the program were warmly re-
ceived. Among these numbers were solos
by Mackenzie Gordon, accompanied by
Gyula Ormay; costume dancing by Miss
Evelyn Foshia. violin solo by Herman
Heller, and Irish dancing by a quartet
composed of Clara Coyne, Frances
Doherty, Daniel Cotter and Joseph P
Kelleher.
The members of the Valencia stock
company scored individual hits as well
as a collective triumph in the sparkling
comedy, "Glittering Gloria" the princi-
pals being forced to respond to several
encores. Among those who occupied
boxes last night were:
Governor and Mrs. James N. GilIett

BALKANS QUESTION
Prime Minister of England
Makes Important Utterance
at Guildhall Banquet

LONDON, Nov 9.-Prime Minister
Herbert H. Asquith was the principal
speaker at the GuildhaIl banquet to-
night, which marked the Inauguration
of the new lord mayor of London, Sir
George Wyatt Truscott, and brought
to fitting close the celebration of the
kings sixty seventh birthday
The prime minister devoted his OBJ
servations mainly to the European sit
uation. After congratulating Turkey,
in the person of Turkish Ambassador
Musurus Pasha, on the success of the
most amazing revolutions in history, he
declared that, subject to the independ-
ent people, International treaties could
not be altered except by the consent of
all the signatories and that the British
government had no prejudice or prefer
ence in favor of any particular settle
ment. 1t had never objected to direct
regulations between Austria and Bull
garia and Turkey, always providing
that Turkey as the most prejudfced,
should have a settlement consistent
with her honor and interests. and that
the agreement must be countersigned
by all parties to the Berlin treaty
One of the happiest results of the
Anglo-Russian convention, he said, was
that both countries had been able to
from the same viewpoint and discuss
frankly and sympathetically the sudden
crisis that had arisen His majesty's
government considered that Russia had
behaved with the greatest restraint un-
der exceedingly trying circumstances in
following a policy of nonintervention in
Persia.
Just a year ago the German emperor,
while on visit to England, emphat-
ically declared himself animated by a
desire for friendship with Great Britain
and the maintenance of the peace of
Europe.
cit was the spirit" said AsquIth.

tween the two countries concerning
the present difficulties. and if. as 1 be-

now darkening Europe will soon dis

Refuses to Discuss Plans for
Future of Union Iron
Works

Charles NJ. Schwab. head of the Beth

city last night to spend two weeks look
ing over the plant of the Union iron
works, which he and his associates con-
troll. Outside of confirming the tele-
graphic reports that his visit had to do
with an inspection of the local plant in
the Potrero, Schwab refused to discuss
the question further last night
II could hardly be expected to discuss
publicly q matter which 1 have not had
the opportunity of debating privately
with my local managers" he said at the
St. Francis, where he registered. Il am
here in the interest of the Union iron
works, but can not say at this time
what the future of the plant will be or
what our plans are

upon a period of great prosperity The
