Three Records Made Last Year
Should go When Best Athletes
For Miles Around Are
Attracted to City.
THE RECORDS ARE GOOD
Marks Made Last Year in Many of
Events Were Good and Athletes
viii Have Hard Time
Bettering Them.

At a glance at the records made at
the tri-state meet in this city last
year leads one to believe tDat only
about three of the marks will be bet
tered on May 8. when the second an
nual meet of this kind is held.
The performances in the 100,220 and
44o-yard dashes will stand, and espec-
tally the mark made in the 10O-yard
dash. This is the equal of the best
state T ark and for Splinter to cut
Off l-5 of a second from this time of
10 2-5 will take some pretty fast work.
Unless some classy pole vaulter is
attracted to the meet feet inches
should stand although this is a very
low mark However, the difficulty to
develop man in this event makes
10 foot mark look high The high Jump
mark of feet inches will probably
stand, although it may be topped an
inch or two
The marks that are almost certain
to go are in the IL pound hammer
throw, the half mile and the broad
jump A big fellow will send the
heavy missile more than 119 feet 2
inches. A man pressed in the half
mile will do better than PIP; and a
good broad jumped will pass to mark
made last year of 20 feet 1-2 inches.

PRETTY WOMAN is
AN EXPERT THIEF
After Admitting That She Stole
Many Valuables Prisoner
Asks for Probation

OAKLAND. Sept. 3.-Peering from
the folds of an automobile veil care
fully draped about her hat. Mrs. Jean
Thurnherr admitted today in the supe-
rior court that she had stolen Mrs.
Maud Girvins silver service, table nap
kins and carpet sweeper. She asked
probation. Nearly a dozen bold bur-
glaries in addition to>the alleged vio-
lation of probation extended by Judge
Lawlor of San Francisco were urged
against her plea by Chief Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Carey.
Judge Brown continued the case un-
til Tuesday, when Carey will have wit
nesses in court to establish. as he said.
the existence of long record of crime
committed by Mrs. Thurnherr.
The woman, an attractive brunette.
was arrested at Berkeley on suspicion
when Mrs. Girvin reported that her
silver had been carried away and her
household badly deranged by the re-
moval of numerous domestic imple-
ments. Concealed in Mrs. Thurnherr's s
ash barrel. which she was afterward
said to have transferred to a neigh
bor's yard, were found many articles
which Mrs. Girvin missed. Search
about Mrs. Thurnherr's apartments dis
closed quantities of stolen linen, cloth
ing and some jewelry. Identification
of the articles has fastened suspicion
of other burglaries at Berkeley upon
Mrs. Thurnherr and these will be in
vestigated before action is taken.
Mrs. Girvin said that in her absence
from home six silver spoons, a jelly
ladle, creamer and sugar bowl with a
teapot, five fruit knives, a cheese spoon.
a Japanese crumb tray. a cake dish. a
chest of silver containing lots of six
table knives, forks, dessert and tea
spoons besides three dozen napkins, a
Mexican watch, she'll clock, several
steel knives. and a carpet sweeper
were removed. Entrance was effected
through a back window. Mrs. Girvin
had received most of the silver as we'd
ding presents, but the initials which
were engraved on the pieces had been
skillfully removed, apparently by a
jeweler.
From the other loot discovered Mrs.
Thurnherr is suspected of stealing ma
terial from Mrs. Philomena Ley. a
milliner at 1852 Fillmore street, San
Francisco, where she worked under the
name of Evelyn Munson, Carey said.
Some of her alleged activities in San
Francisco led her to plead guilty to a
felony charge and her release on pro-
baton followed
Mrs. Thurnherr may have removed
linen from the Bon Air apartments in
Shattuck avenue, Berkeley; may have
forged the name of Mrs. r. B. Ritchey
of 6410 Wheeler street; have taken
clothing and linen from Mrs Parks at
Center and Grove street; besides steal
ing jewelry from Mrs McHenry at 1905
Delaware street and lifting" parasol,
the property of Mrs. w. r: Jenkins.
Her record at San Mateo is the subject
of investigation. Detective Stephen
Bunner of San Francisco has been
subpenaed.

LOSING PRINCESS
WAITER ENDS LIFE
FickIe Hindu Fortune Teller Jilts
Admirer and Drives Him
to Suicide

OAKLAND. Sept. 3.-Losing the
princess" on whom his affections had
centered, rendered desperate by her
message that she was about to marry
rajah in India and travel in state
throughout the east. Louis Grob. a
waiter employed at the Key Route ho-
tel swallowed a fatal dose of poison
tablets today after threatening Mrs.
NJ Bulski with a revolver if she did
not produce his beloved.
He knew her as the Princess Coins
sa," a Hindu fortune teller. and he
loved her better than his life. When
he received his dismissal he wrote
two frantic letters. then with his re-
volver rushed TO apartments which Mrs.
BUlski conducts at 1929 Broadway.
Here he encountered the landlady and
shrieking that she must bring forth
his loved one thrust the revolver
against her temple The wOman's
screams brought her husband and
rOOmer to her assistance and the two
disarmed Grob.
Drawing a large vial of the tablets
from his pocket from which he
had carefully scraped the label he
swallowed several and then running
at full speed collapsed at the cooks
and walters union headquarters at oO9
Sixteenth street. From there he was
removed to the receiving hospital,
where he died few hours later.
II am losing my mind over you, for
1 am not able to throw off your in
huence," he wrote to the princess,
You are mercfless toward me. can feel
your vibrations. You have grown cold.
/ have made a true confession of our
past relations. Even now l am at
deaths door. I feel like tearing this
ND again / can't live without you
any longer. You are heartless and If
you drive me to death let the world
know why I died. Forgive me-.
He also wrote to the head waiter
saving that he could not stand his
suffering and must end 1t. Mrs. Bulskl
said that the princess" had left some
time ago and GrOb's attack upon her
was thought to have resulted from IN
sanity

HUNDREDS ARE READY
FOR THE SALE OF TAGS
Campaign to Raise Funds for
Union Mems Orphanage

OAKLAND, Sept. 3.-Tag day, Satur-
day, for the benefit Of the union mems
orphanage at San Lorenzo has already
enlisted the aid Of hundreds of men
women and children in the east side
cities. Today the Key Route and the
Southern Pacific company officials
granted permission to the committees
to sell tags on the ferry boats during
the day. This concession assured a
large contribution to the orphanage
funds.
Headquarters tomorrow will be al
the financial underwriters Offices, 101e
Broadway. N. B. Greensfelder volun-
teered his own services, and all OF
the attaches and clerks have likewise
offered to assist in the work of the
day.
Tags will be sold in oakland Berke-
ley and Alameda. with a special dele
cation of several hundred school chill
dren and women enlisted to dispose OF
tags between Fruitvale and Hayward
The cities have been districted, so that
the entire territory will be covered
without confusion. Many of Oakland's
school teachers have volunteered to
conduct the work in the various dis.
tricts, where school children will sell
the souvenir tags. Many labor unions
churches and other organizatio have
taken an interest in the success of the
day.

PRACTICAL WORK
IN EXPOSING FRAUD
Substantial Results Follow the
Investigation by Public Adj
ministrator's Office

OAKLAND, Sept. 3.-The practical
nature of District Attorney Donahue's
investigation of the public administra-
tors office is well shown by the refund
of $4,000 in cash by Attorney John
S. de Lancey who is facing five In
dictments. 1t is doubtful whether the
money could have been recovered by
any other means than the personal
apressure which Donahue brought to
bear De Lancey's accounts are So
badly tangled that much OF the money
might never have been traced.
This amount was retained by De
Lancey when Judge Browns decision
was followed by an order directing
Public Administrator Gray to deposit
all funds in his care with the county
treasurer. Scrambling wildly TO make
up the amounts called for, De Lancey
in desperation appears TO have adopted
the device of trimming various amounts
from estates until he brought the total
down to the actual cash he had on
hand. AS he had absolute charge OF
he succeeded.
APPORTIONED TO ESTATES
With the money which he turned
a statement and the total will go to
the following estates in the amounts
named:
n. J. Beatty. s15s.o5; Albertson, ss.45; Joseph
piss Ss Msv 4,ves 81 Anderson s5s Thei
man. 81, 1925; Rebecca Jenkins, S265l - I;
Fleming, rent collected. SIS Doctor M MIyergssSa ge
macher, SIT, rent collected; Roach, rent $40
and $1,000 in estate; Anderson, $50; Fleming
rent $40; Benson, s127.75; Garrett, note. S25.
After deducting s593.s3 for De Lam
cey's expenses. and adding $1,5eS.65 to
the credit of Hartman Jr., 1t makes
a total OF s10,352.24. Cash to the credit
of two other estates Will bring the
total up to $4,000.
WILL BE ARRAIGNED
De Lancey will be arraigned On the
FIVE indictments which have been re-
turned against him Tuesday before
Judge Brown. One charge is for pass
ing a forged claim for burial services
never rendered, one for the alleged
felony embezzlement of $4,000 from
the estate of George Hite Cook with
a charge of mutilating public record
70 conceal the missing cash, and then
faIsifvinS his semiannual report on two
occasions. His bail now aggregates
5000
A. ]. Flood will also be arraigned for
forging the claim which De Lancey
passed as charged.
DESTROYED ALL PAPERS
Flood will shortly be called before
Judge ogden to explain why he de-
stroyed all papers found upon William
Y. Cirode, an insurance agent who died
In January OF this year Cirode, who
left $4,000 in cash in a bank was said
to have told an intimate friend that
he had lust purchased valuable min
ing stock and had at least one promis-
sorry note. 49,.
Neither stock nor note was dlscoV-
cred and Flood will be asked to ex-
main whether he destroyed evidence
leading TO their discovery. Cirode left
a widow at st. Louis, who appointed
Crittenden Van Wyck as administrator
and Van Wyck was represented IN
court by his brother, Sydney Van
WVck Jr.
