Planned With Straight Track
to Present Station
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SACRAMENTO, July 1.-THE plans
submitted to the Yolo and Sacramento
county supervisors by the Southern
Pacific company for the construction
of an 100000 steel bridge have an
swered the question as to the probable
site of the Southern Pacific depot
There had been much speculation as
to where the company intended placing
the new depot proposed and it was
thought that another site would be
chosen. The bridge plans. however,
call for a straightaway track from the
depot to the approach and make it
certain that the depot site will not be
changed.
The bridge will be constructed
higher than the old one to take in the
increase in grade TO be made on the
stretch of track from Sacramento to
Davis. This stretch was washed out
by the foods of last winter, which
badly crippled the service, and after
a conference between the officials and
engineers it was announced that the
track would be raised four feet

VALUABLE LOOT
Home of Harry Kirchenburg Is
Entered and Jewelry Worth
$1,000 Is Stolen
Many Houses RansaCked by
Thieves Who Gain Admis-
sion With False Key

Diamonds and jewelry to the value
residences in San Francisco Saturday
afternoon and evening. The richest
haul made by the burglars was in the
home of Harry Kirchenburg, 1928 La
guna street, where more than $500
worth of vaIuables were stolen. Mrs.
Mary Brennan. $50 De Haro street, was
another who reported the theft OF
jeweIry to the value OF about 500
from her home. The home OF Mrs. l.
Silverstein. 1870 Ellis street, was
robbed Saturday afternoon OF about
$500 worth of jeweIry. Still another
report Of a house being robbed was
made at police headquarters yesterday
by n Myer 1901 Ellis street. Myer
was unable to tell the exact amount OF
the goods stolen from his home, but
he thinkssthe burglars secured loot
OF much value.
At the Kirehenburg home the rob-
berry was discovered late Saturday
night when Kirehenburg and his wife
returned from a shopping tour. Every
room in their apartment had been
raided by the thieves. The contents OF
the drawers of the bureaus and dress
ing tables in the several rooms were
thrown about on the floor Among the
tewelry taken was an emerald ring
with a Tiffany setting, worth ~, 200;
a $500 turquoise ring, a pair OF dia-
mond earrings worth $500 and rings,
pins and bracelets of lesser value.
The Myer home was entered Satur-
day afternoon. The burglar was seen
leaving the house by Mrs. c. Murphy.
who lives in the fat above that Occu-
pied by the Myer family. Mrs. Muir
ply became suspicious when she saw
the man leave the house and notified
the Bush street police station Officers
were Immediately dispatched 10 the
house, but their efforts TO capture the
thief were futile. AT the Myer home
considerable property was stolen.
The robbery at the SilveFstein home
was not discovered by Mrs. Silverstein
until late Saturday evening.
The police are of the opinion that
the recent burglaries are the work
of an organized gang OF false key
workers. Special men have been de-
tailed TO capture this class OF crooks
by Captain of Detectives Anderson. De-
tectives Burke. Gallagher. Riordan.
McQuaide. Gaughran and BOlletto were

For the Traveller Abroad

For girl travelling alone in Europe
the simplest costumes, but smart ones,
should be chosen. 1t is always a mat
ter for comment among Europeans that
young American women go about the
world unaccompanied, and when thcy
make themselves further conspicuous
by any elaborateness of dress, unde-
sirable criticism is called forth Ac-
cording to European standards all
Americans overdress except in the
evening when the fact that as a rule.
they wear high instead of low cut
gowns calls out comment.
To wear on board ship. cloth suit
of plain skirt and jacket is correct
and serviceable. Waists may be either
flannel or linen, but those worn during
the day must be plain. For dinner a
lingerie waist is quite permissible. but
better than that have a simple silk
are not practical, but surah is serv-
iceable. Even in summer a heavy cape
or coat will be required, and thick fan
mel dressing gown is essential No
one should go on board ship without
such garment 1t is necessary to
wear to the bath in the morning. and
in case of seasfckness or prolonged
bad weather and fog. may be used dur
ing the night. The FASHION of wearing
gone and dressing now differs little
from that on land save that certain
materials easily affected by dampness
are not to be considered
For travelling, both on ship and on
land, small hats are better than large
ones, and ostrich tips or plumes should
not be chosen as trimming Stiff uuills
or wings, with ribbon, are much bet
ter and look smarter at such times.
