EMPORIUM TO HAVE NO
MERCY FOR SHOPLIFTERS
New Policy of Firmness to Be
Adopted by Big Store in
the Future

Sympathy for kleptomaniacs will
yield to stern punishment of shoplift-
ers at the Emporium hereafter. The
managers of the big department store
have determined that from now on
there will be no mercy for culprits
caught f1lching from the counters.
In the past it was the policy of the
Emporium to deal leniently with shop
lifters. Most of the culprits have been
women and when detected they have
rarely been prosecuted. But so con-
stant is the stealing and so annoying
the watchfulness which must be main
tanned to prevent it that the manage
ment has decided to make an example
or all shoplifters who are caught
henceforward.
In line with this policy two recent
cases will be pressed to conviction, If
possible. Lewis Forester. who used a
funnel pipe for the purpose of secret
ing shirtwaists, forfeited his $500 ball.
but a bench warrant was issued for his
arrest yesterday and his bail placed at
$1,000. Gertrude Stone recently plead
ed guilty to the theft of a shirtwaist
and 1t is the intention. under the new
policy. to see that she is sentenced for
her offense.

CARNIVAL OFFERS
TREAT TO CHILDREN
Young People of Alameda Coun-
ty to Be Favored Saturday
Afternoon

OAKLAND, Aug. 13.-The children's
carnival to be held Saturday afternoon
promises to be one of the gayest and
most interesting features of the fiesta
now in progress at Idora park. All
the school children of Alameda county
will be admitted free from noon until 6
o'clock by presenting at the gate one
of the ballots used in the voting con-
test for queen of the carnival. Thou
sands of the boys and girls on this side
of the bay are preparing to take part
in the jollihcation.
The contest for the position of queen
of the carnival will end tomorrow A
tremendous struggle for leadership in
the race has developed and Miss Lena
Tisch, Miss Maybelle Watson, Miss
Veva Whalen and Miss Edna Robinson
have so nearly divided the votes that
1t is impossible to foretell who will
be chosen.
Elaborate preparations are being
made for the coronation on Monday
night. The successful candidate, ar
rayed in her coronation robes, will be
escorted from the park theater to a
great throne stand in the center of the
park, where she will be proclaimed
queen. Pages and flower girls will
strew her path with roses and ladies
in waiting. knights and soldiers will
follow her to the throne. The name of
the queen elect will be announced Sat-
urday.

LEAGUE GAINS VOTES
. IN COUNTY OF MARIN
Citizens Interested in Expelling
P0olroOms From Sausalit0
Join LincOln=RO0Sevelters
Organization Is Preparing to
Make Strong Fight Saturday
Against Machine Forces

SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 13.-The republi-
can factions of Marin county are polish
ing up their battle axes and preparing
for slaughter at the primaries on Sat
urday There will be number of
local fights, and in Sausalito Mill VAL
ley, San Rafael, precinct No. g and in
San Anselmo stiff contests will be put
up by rival factions.
At Sausalito a branch of the Lincoln
Roosevelt league, headed by n. G. Nor
row, is working to down the organiza-
tion ticket headed by Supervisor Pis-
tolesi. The league has a membership
of one-third of the voting strength of
Sausalito and Is gaining new members
daily. Although the odds are heavy
against them, the leaguers will put up a
stiff fight.
The organization is strongly in
trenched and is expected to carry the
town.
Mill Valley is suffering from an acute
division among the republicans who
reside at the base of Tamalpais. One
faction, known as the hill crowd, has
locked horns with the so called town
crowd. Both have strong tickets in
the field. Partisanship does not enter
so much in the fight as the question
of which faction shall represent Mill
Valley in the convention. 1t is local
row.
In San Anselmo one of the hottest
fights will be waged. A. Bouick stole
a march on the organization men re-
Gently and nominated a ticket pledged
to work for any man who would fight
the poolrooms. Jim Taylor, ex-assem-
blyman and one of the organization
leaders in the district whom Bouick
caught mapping, has formed an inde-
pendent club and is putting up a fight
Precinct No. in San Rafael will
also be a center of the political mael-
strom on the 18TH. There Assemblyman
Butler and S. 'Olmstead, who has an
nounced himself as candidate to sue
ceed Butler, will engage in their in
itial skirmish.
Three supervisors will be nominated.
In supervisorial district No. 3, which in
cludes Sausalito, Tiburon, Belvedere,
Mill Valley and Bolinas, Pistolesi and
d. Mclean of Tiburon are in the field.
Mclean counts on capturing the dele
gates outside of Sausalito, which will
give him a majority of three over Pts
tolesi. Mclean is supported by the
Lincoln-R Roosevelt league at Sausalito.
In supervisorial district No. 2, at least
two and possibly three aspirants will
try for board honorS. w. Kemp, who
is supported by the Taylor faction of
San Anselmo, and J. S. Eells, a Bouick
man, are already formally in the fight.
William kent, who presented Marin
county with a stadium last week, has
announced that he will enter the race
as an independent If the present doubt
as to his eligibility can be removed.
Supervisor Goudy will probably get
denomination in supervisorial district
No. by default
Superior Judge Lennon will be re-
nominated. The county convention will
consist of 116 delegates.

PROFESSOR FINLEY HURT
BY MISSILE IN GAME
Instructor of Geology Club Is
Struck by DETECTED Stone
Near LiYermOre

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 13.-
The geology club returned yesterday
after an absence of six weeks. Every
summer vacation the club goes out into
the country to gain practical knowl-
edge in the study of the surrounding
formation. This year the territory
studied was that in the neighborhood
of LiYermore.
One accident, that came very near be-
ing fatal, marked the trip. Some of
the embryo biologists had returned in
thought to the unsophisticated days of
their youth and were playing the game
known as duck on the rock" Profess
sor Finley, who was in charge of the
party, was deep in a learned discus
sion and did not notice that he was
almost in line with the small geological
specimens that were being hurled with
reckless energy by his proteges
Suddenly one of the stones glanced
from the rock and made a bee line for
the professors head, which was
turned away. The student who threw
the rock gave a cry of warning and
the professor lodged instinctively The
rock caused a glancing wound in the
scalp. about four inches long, and it
is thought that If Finley had not
ducked he would have been killed.

Land Company, Thrown Out of
Office and Taxes Raised,
Gets Ferries Stopped

BELVEDERE Aug. 1s.-The man
who said Americans don't care who
rules them so long as they are let alone
is respectfully referred to the town of
Belvedere, where they have just de-
clared a full fiedged declaration of in
dependence with all the modern i'm
provements.
And now merry revolutionary war
Is waging between George the Third,
as the Belvedere land company, the
Lord North of which is President Ed
gar M. Wilson, and the determined
minute men of Belvedere, led by a
George Washington in the form of
Trustee Charles Paft (not Taft. So
far as known there hasn't been a Bos-
ton tea party with tons of tea thrown
overheard, but instead the angry resi-
dents of the exclusive little city threw
out of office a whole board of trustees
named by the land company and put in
a board of their own choosing. The
new board has made some decided
moves.
One of its first steps was abolishing
the Office Of a complacent assessor
through which the company taxed it's
own property and that of the residents
to suit itself, and declaring itself a
board of equalization. This done the
town assessment was promptly raised

Belvedere. part. parcel and lots has
been owned by the Belyedere land COM
pany for more than 20 years. The COM
pany has been in the habit, of naming
officers and trustees to suit itself. But
at the election year ago Charles Paft
ran for trustee without consulting the
company and got there. This year the
people rose In their suddenly realized
mower Fa-al6Nfpd PQff NUT in
entire board of their own choice.
One of the boards revolutionary acts
was to declare bond issue of $4,000
for improving roads against the wishes
Of the company to extend new roads in
new tracts. But the company scored
in return last Monday night, however,
when at a heated session of the board
President Wilson declared that the
company would sell its remaining lots
for what 1t could get and induce the
purchasers to build shanties on them
If the revolutionists would not be good.
And, furthermore, it was later an
nouneed that the Northwestern Pacific
railroad had concluded hereafter to
run no ferries between 10 o'clock in
the morning and o'clock in the after
noon. The threat was kept, too. The
extra boats have been taken off and
today Belvedere is marooned at certain
hours.
But at the instance of the Corinthian
yacht club the Belvederites are assem-
bling for final battle which they be-
lieve will prove the Yorktown of the
company's forces. The change in the
ferry schedules has wiped out the Sat
urday afternoon regattas of the yacht
club members, who can't reach their
boats. They have called a great mass
meeting for next Saturday night in
their clubhouse, where extreme meas
ures will be urged.
The independence" board of Belve-
dere is composed of G. L. Bean, Arthur
Page. Albert Russell, v. j. A. Coran and
