WAS LOST ON TRANSPORT
Passenger From Philippines on
Buford Alleges Theft of
$3.50 at Nagasaki

A. B. Hoag, a school teacher who ar
rived yesterday from the Philippines
on the army transport Buford. reported
to the police that while on board the
steamer at Nagasaki he was robbed
of $3.50. Hoag's fellow passengers do
not take his accusation very seriously.
According to Hoag's story, he went
into the Office of the quartermaster
captain just as the transport was en-
tering Nagasaki harbor. He laid his
purse containing $3.50 on the quarter
masters safe.
The purse disappeared. An investi-
cation was ordered and Major Orwig
and Lieutenant Ball were detailed to
solve the mystery If they could The
purse is still missing and the identity
of the thief, If it was stolen, as much
a mystery as ever. Hoag has placed
the matter in the hands of the police
and Detective Conlan will make some

JAPANESE SPY ON

Taking Measurements in

Brown Policeman Rescues Him
and the Notebooks He
Carried

While the army transport Buford,
which arrived here yesterday. was at
Nagasaki, Chief Master at Arms d. P.
O'Keefe discovered Japanese In the
fireroom acting suspiciously. O'Keefe
watched the little brown intruder for a
few minutes and discovered that he
was taking careful measurements of
the ships boilers and jotting down
notes on an already much befgured
sheet of paper.
O'Keefe grabbed the Japanese and
took from him several note books. With
his prisoner and the books O'Keefe
marched to the chief officer of the
transport, who questioned the Japan
ese. While the chief officer was wait
Ing for an opportunity to report to
higher authority a Japanese policeman
came along, calmly appropriated the
papers that had been taken from the
man in the freroom and took posses
sion of the prisoner, marching him
ashore.
1t was learned later that the man
was probably a Japanese army officer.
The army officers on the Buford say
they can not understand what informa-
tion he sought, as there is nothing
about the Bufofd that the Japanese
government could not learn witho T

The Country Squire" at the American
theater this week is a three round bout
with sentiment Sentiment is exuded
in every act and every scene; it is
wrestled with and its eyes are gouged
out; il is dragged about by the hair and
il is finally throttled. II begins senti-
mental orgy and becomes a sentimental
rough house. All the faults of all the
bgosh drammers ever written, have
been, by a piece Of monumental indus
try, belabored into the play. kven the
octette sings The Holy City" 1 love
sentiment, myself, but The Country
Squire" taxes even my credulity and
suits me altogether too well
Strangely enough, one of the au-
thors-the two guilty ones are J. A
Kent and L. Willard-is not ashamed
TO appear as the squire whose daugh-
ter is lured away to the city and who
comes back (we're speaking of the
daughter now) in the third act in a
red dress-which is without signifi-
canoe, as it turns out-as pure as the
driven snow through which she has
trudged. She has been a miIliner in
New York all these years until a
tramp tells her her father still loves
her. Willard plays the squire. The
daughter In real life is-but we'll call
no names.
A real horse sticks his head out OF
the barn and eats real hay; two live
chickens strut about on the stage. and
everything is so realistic that when
the housemaid appears with long,
white pitcher from the spare room
you apprehensively look for the rest
of the set. one Of the chickens sup
piled the comedy last night. He few

the eye of a critic in the audience and
left his mate forIorn on the well. For
the balance of the act the hen walked
alone. Perhaps the impromptu turn
was symbolic. At any rate an usher
led the rooster out.

PARTIsANS EXCHANGE BLOWS

Others who addressed the meeting in
timated that some of the officers Of
the society had benefited in many
ways at the expense of the hospital.
When Bergerot told the society mem
bers that President Pouchan was the
best president the society had ever
elected Peter Barbieri called him a
liar. The challenge was instantly TAX
en- up by L. Cazet, an admirer of Pou-
chan, who addressed several warm re-
marks to Barbieri and the two became
so excited that they came to blows.
After the meeting there was a
threatening demonstration in the door
way of the Red Mems building and
President Pouchan and Julius Godeau
exchanged heated words. Godeau ac-
cused Pouchan of encouraging Cazet
to punish Barbieri and told him that he
would interfere II Pouchan made an
other attempt to bring the men to
blows.
I'm not afraid of you, even if you
have a heavy cane in your hand" said
Godeau. Friends of both men prevent
ed further discussion.
The annual meeting Of the French
hospital society will be held either next
Sunday or May 8. The opponents of
President Pouchan feel that they have
won a decisive victory and that Pou-
chan will be defeated should he be a
candidate for the office of president.

SAN MATEO is CUT In
ON NEW LONG DISTANCE
Tolls Are Reduced and Two
Number System Is Installed
for Phone Service

The Pacific telephone and telegraph
company yesterday opened It's new ex-
change building in San Mateo, and the
lines of subscribers in San Mateo and
Burlin game were cut over to a new
common battery switchboard which
the company asserts is the very latest
in telephone equipment. At the same
time San Mateo and Burlingame were
given toll connection with San Fran
cisco by the two number method and
the rate charge was reduced from 25
cents to 20 cents for three minutes
conversation.
The two number method is now in
use for handling calls between San
Francisco and Oakland, Berkeley, Ala
media, San Rafael, Sausalito and Mill
valley. By this method it is not neces-
sary to ask for long distance IN order
to talk to San Francisco or vice versa,
but merely to look up the number
wanted and tell it to the local
operator.

QUAKE ANNIVERSARY is
MASCOT'S LUCKY DAY
Bull Terrier That Survived De-
sertion of ST. Francis Is
FOndIy Petted

The second anniversary of the April
fire did not come and go without a
great deal of petting being bestowed
on Francis, the bull terrier mascot of
the Hotel ST. Francis, who was for five
days following the quake locked up
in the cellar of the hotel without food
or water. Francis is the pet of the
guests of the hostelry, particularly of
Mrs. Woods, the wife of the manager of
the hotel. Whence all but him had
fed" has been repeatedly applied to
this veteran of house deserted by
everything human. Francis was taken
out yesterday for an automobile ride
by Mrs. Woods. He is more than any
thing the connecting link that binds
together old memories with new
achievements. He has become an in
tegral factor of the hotel life. His
birthday is now an historic episode
