STORE WRECKED IN
FIGHT WITH THUGS
Brave Drug Clerk Struggles
With Robbers and One
Is Captured

Pluckily battling with one of two
daring highwaymen, G. c. Mathews, a
clerk in the Reliance drug store, $50
McAaIister street, foiled a cleverly
planned scheme to steal a bag of gold
yesterday afternoon from a money
drawer and captured his antagonist
after terrific combat. While the
two men were struggling the second
highwayman escaped with SIS from the
cash register.
In the struggle counters were over
turned. showcases smashed and the in
pletely wrecked, but Mathews clung
to the thug until Morris Vmelli, man
ager of the store, arrived and assisted
Mathews in flooring his antagonist.
The two highwaymen entered the
store about o'clock yesterday after
noon and said that they wished to pur-
chase hot water bottles, knowing that,
at this season. hot water bottles were
not placed where they were easy to
reach Mathews went to the rear of
the store to get the articles asked for
AS he opened a drawer in the rear he
noticed one of the men reach over the
counter and attempt to open money
drawer which held a bag containing
a large sum Of money in gold.
Mathews ran back TO the front of the
store. vaulted over the counter and
swung his fist to the crooks jaw
The highwayman struck back and the
two men clinched Meanwhile the other
crook opened the cash register, took
SIS and without attempting to aid his
accomplice beat a hasty retreat Then
followed the struggle in which Ma
thews proved the victor
Morris Vmelli called Policemen Louis
]. Cornelius and sutton. They took the
prisoner to the central police station,
where he gave the name of James II
Williams, aged S5. bar tender.

factory. 220 Valencia street, Miss Madgs
MiIliken. one of the most experienced
operators in the trade, was scalped
Yesterday morning, just after the days
work had started.
The woman's head was completely
denuded of hair The scalp was dragged
from the head in a jagged line, extend
ing down the forehead Immediately
above either ear, and we'll down the
back of the neck.
Miss Milliken, a woman 40 years OF
age who had been in the employ OF
the company for 20 years, fell to the
floor unconscious, and the crowds OF
women operators working around heI
were thrown into the greatest confu-
sion. A dozen of them tainted as the
blood spurted over the table.
Superintendent Simon Davis sum
moned an auto, and hurried the woman
to the German hospital, where she is ir
a precarious condition.
Davis called carriages and had the
unconscious and hysterical women
taken to their homes, and the factor!
was closed for the day.
Miss Milliken has been prominent ir
the Young Ladies Institute. the Womer
of Woodcraft and other organizations
and was tireless church worker. She
lives at 2497 Folsom street with a mar
ried sister She is of a modest nature
retired and unassuming, but these
qualities made her the friend of al
she met, and yesterday hundreds of mer
and women offered themselves as sub
iects if Miss Milliken survives and al
attempt is made to graft skin over hel

Miss Milliken worked at one of two
score sewing machines ranged along
either side of a long table. A power
shaft runs lengthwise under this table
and from this belts run to the various
machines. The belt running to Miss
Milliken's machine came off, and while
she was STOPPING to put it on her hair

W. & j. Sloane Now Occupy Story Building
In Heart of Shopping District

One of the most significant of the
removals TO the permanent downtown
shopping district is that of the firm of
W. and J. Sloane, who now occupy their
splendid new eight story building at
PIC to 22s Sutter street, between Grant
avenue and Kearny street.
In appearance the building as to
architectural construction. design and
interior finish. is suggestive of the sol
idity and standing of the concern.
The entire ground floor, 11S feet
front by 137 feet s inches, is devoted
10 the display of domestic an doriental
rugs. the latter collected in the orient
by the firms own experts. The high
ceilings and huge columns are in keep

on display and the inlaid floor of oak
in herringbone pattern serves to show
rugs to the best advantage. The

On the second floor which is covered
with a rich red carpet, are the draperies

tions and few rare and special pieces
Of furniture. The counters, show cases
and tables for display are of mahogany.
The plate glass windows on this floor
extend from floor to ceiling and are
set close together, so that the whole
front and side is practically one huge
window into which the light shines, al
lowing perfect display of the colors and
texture of the materials
on the third floor is the upholstered
furniture for parlor or living rooms in

floor Of the building for those inter
ested in artistic furniture, as every Pc
riod in history is represented in the
designs-early English, French and
Italian. the simple, square lines of the
Spanish mission period, the elaborate
Italian renaissance pieces suited to
chambers and halls especially designed
for them. The pieces on this floor range
from the most moderate priced TO the
best.
The sixth and seventh floors are the
showrooms for carpets, and the facili-
ties for displaying them show that con
siderable ingenuity has been used to
avoid tiresome waits for patrons. who
usually look upon this part of the fur
nishing with no little trepidation be-
cause Of the difficulty Of judging the
effects and by reason of the cumber-
some nature Of the rolls of carpet.
Here the white maple floor aids in
Judging the effect OF color and design.
SKYLIGHTS AND PLATE GLASS
The eighth floor is under skylights
and plate glass side windows giving
ample light required in the matching
and making up OF materials handled by
the firm.
The fire sprinkler apparatus. which
works automatically upon the existence
of a certain temperature, is only one
of the numerous devices for safety to
merchandise and building. among which
should be mentioned the heating sys-
