DEMOCRATS LOOKING FOR 4 MOSES.

DEMOCRATS LOOKING FORA MOSES.
George F. Author, political writer
for the Minneapolis Tribune, says
OF the efforts being made by the
democrats to fix their choice on a
candidate for governor:
Democrats are greatly at sea.
relative to a candidate for the gov
ernorship. They propose to play a
waiting game, for the purpose of
seeing what the republicans will do,
and in the meantime, may be expected
to do what they can to stir up
whatever troubles may exist in the
Republican household, with vie W
of making their own task the easier.
There is a unanimity of opinion
that if former Governor John Lind
of Minneapolis could be induced to
be a candidate, he would be the
strongest man they could nominate.
w. S. Hammond is a second
choice with most of the leaders, J. c..
Armson of Saltwater comes next,
with Daniel Lawler a possibility,
local to St. Paul. Mayor J. C..
Haynes is not generally considere d
as possibility, now.
The democrats, in casting up their
accounts, find that Congressman
Hammond would make an ideal
candidate. They say the tariff will
enter largely into the campaign.
congressman Hammond is the
natural exponent of the low tariff
idea in Minnesota, having defeated
McCleary in one OF the strongest
Republican districts of the state.
Of all the men in the Democratic
ranks, he is conceded to be the
strongest speaker on this question.
One argument urged against the
St. James man is that he is not a
good mixer That he lacks the
cordial handshake and the winning
smile, that made johnson so power
full on the stump. They are also dis
inclined to take him out of the
second district fight where he could
probably be elected, they think, an
opinion in which Congressman Ham,
mond joins.

BURGLARS BAFFLE THE
SLEUTHS OF BERKELEY
Chief VoIImer Details Extra
Men to Hunt Thieves

BERKELEY. July 1.-THE police
department of this city is baf11ed by
the large number of burglaries here
during the last week, when no less
than four houses were entered either
by porch climbers or window workers.
The latter method has been the most
prevalent and denotes the presence of
the professional criminal
Early this morning the home of John
E. Gardner. a federal interpreter living
at 1929 Spruce street, was entered and
but for the fact that Gardner arrived
while the burglars were at work and
frightened them away they would have
rified the place.
He heard the noise of the two men
working upstairs on entering the front
door, but boldly, although he had no
weapon of any kind. telephoned to the
police and stood guard until the ar
rival of Sergeant Thomas Wooley and
Policeman Frank Waterbury.
The crooks made good their escape
by jumping out the back window
Chief Vollmer has detailed extra men
to guard all sections of the city and
precautions of every kind are taken to
prevent the continuance of burglaries
here.

DIVORCED MAN SUES
DEAD WIft'S LOVER
Claims Lots Conveyed to
Woman, Alleging She OBJ
tanned Title Improperly

OAKLAND. July 1.-THE fight over
the property of Mrs. Harriet Miller,
who, by leaving two wills in San Fran
cisco disposing of an estate supposed
to be worth $4,000, but which has not
yet fully materialized, was further
complicated today by the filing of a
suit by Frank Miller, her former hus-
band, against Monroe Markham, her
accented lover, to recover possession
of two l1ts in Alameda.
Miller said that he bought the lots
and pa Tor them, bat that Mrs. Miller
secretly secured deeds in her own
name. When she instituted proceed
ings for divorce, Miller sued her for
the deed, he says. but was induced to
drop his action on her promising to
surrender the documents If he would
default in her divorce. She secured
the divorce, but failed to give him the
deeds, he said.
Another suit against her followed,
but miller admitted that he yielded
again TO her representations and dis
missed it on her promise to give him
the documents. Again she failed to
fulfill her promise and before another
suit could be instituted she died.
Then Markham, a cousin of former
Governor Markham, began to figure In
the case, holding many valuable pa
pers belonging to Mrs. Miller and be-
ing her business confldante, according
to the complaint. Miller processes to
know of the transfer of the deeds to
the Alameda property from Mrs. Miller
to Markham, though he does not know
whether they are IN Markham's name,
the deeds not having been filed for rec
ord. He asked the court to declare
him owner of the lots and TO cancel
any papers purporting to convey the
property from Mrs. Miller.
The opening of safe deposit vault
in San Francisco yesterday by means
of a key which Markham held, was a
to those who expected
to find the bulk of Mrs. Miller's estate,
supposed to consist or valuable bonds
and diamonds. The box contained a
few stocks of low value and diamonds
worth $3.50.
