GLASGOW PUBLIC HOUSES
MUST CLOSE JANUARY
Can Not Permit Sale of Liquor
New Years Day

All the public houses in Glasgow
will be closed on New Years day-a
Saturday. 1t was decided some months
ago that all licensed premises would
be closed on the first day of the year,
and under the statute the magistrates
have no power to give special per-
mission for the sale of liquor on that
day, says the Westminster Gazette. In
deed, if the authorities desired to al
ter the arrangement, some three
months notice would require to be
given. 1t may be pointed out that if
the new year came in on Sunday
the public houses would be closed on
the Monday This time all license
holders will close their premises on
the Friday evening until Monday.

DISGUISED STUDENT
HOAXES FRESHMAN
Sir Robert Peel Impersonates
University Vice Chancellor

The story of the impersonation of a
member of parliament by an under
graduate at a Cambridge debating So
ciety may recall the memory of an
other undergraduate impersonation of
which the hero was no less person
than Sir Robert Peel. relates the West
minister Gazette. Sir Robert, while at
Christchurch, once hoaXed a fresh
man by impersonating the vice chan
celor
Assuming that august character, and
attended by a friend disguised is the
esquire beadle he put the freshman
through an examination in the Greek
testament, told him that his ignorance
of Greek was a disgrace to the univer-
sity and that he must be expelled.
The freshman. so the story continues.
was so frightened that he did not
wait for formal confirmation of the
sentence of expulsion, but packed at
once and disappeared from the college.

and other places was thoroughly
searched and no stone was left un-
turned to locate the man.
McQuaide. Driscoll. Taylor, Mac
phee, Wren and Lord have been
working steadily on the case since
Saturday night running down clews
and they will continue to do so until
the criminal is found. if he is in the
city. There are other things we are
doing which it would not be ad-
visabIe to make known, and am
hopeful that there will be definite
results very shortly.
Every policeman i'll the city has
been ordered to keep a sharp look
out for the man, and they have been
instructed to take particular notice
of men living on their beats in the
hope that they might pick up the
right one. Every lodging house in
the city will be combed over and
clerks in second and third class
hotels have been furnished with a
description of the robber.
1t would be surprise to outsid-
ers if they knew the clews that have
been sent in, but although some of
them have borne on their face the
greatest absurdity they have been
run down and thoroughly sifted.
The detectives on the case are SPAR
-, nd
as in the case of Siemsen and Dab
ner, their efforts will be, ] am sure,
crowned with success.

DETECTIVES CERTAIN OF LANDING
MURDEROUS THUG BEHIND BARS

Everything has been done to trace
the robber and land him behind
prison bars, and l feel confident it
is only a question of time when we
will get him. Unfortunately he
may, like Siemsen and Dabner, com
nit other crimes before that most
desirable contamination is reached.
He is, in my opinion, daredevil, a
reckless man, possessed of rare cum
ming, as has been shown by his get
awaysv after committing his deeds.
I don't believe he is crazy, but his
actions last Saturday night prove
that he is aiming at notoriety and
spectacular effects. He is not
stranger to the city and knows
where to keep himself in hiding
without the risk of detection. He
may be an opium fiend, but 1 doubt
it; he is too cool and daring
After the preparation Of his first
crimes a week ago last Saturday
night Detectives Taylor. Macphee,
Bailey, Lambert and Redmond were
detailed on the case. They searched
everywhere for, the thug, but failed
to find any trace of him. Then came
the fiasco in the arrest and confess
sion of Brooks. alias Anderson. but
when il was proved that he was
dreaming our efforts were redoubled
and every possible clew, and there
were many, was run down.

PAWNSHOP ROBBED
BY MASKED THUG
Proprietor of Oakland Shop and
.Stenographer Confronted
by Armed Bandit
Highwayman Said to Answer
Description of Criminal Ter
r0rizing San Francisco

OAKLAND, Dec. 13.-B Lichtig' S
pawnshop at 56S Sixth street, between
Clay and Jefferson streets, was held
up at 5:45 o'clock this evening by a
single man, whose description as told
to the police resulted in special orders
to every uniformed and plain clothes
officer on duty to look for a man an
swering to the descriptions sent out
from San Francisco of the man who has
committed one murder and three rob-
berries in that city.
Lichtig, the proprietor of the shop,
lives next door. He was preparing TO
close his place of business and was in
the little office at the rear with his
stenographer, Miss Frances Buchanan
of go Eighteenth street. The holdup
man walked into the shop through the
wide front door with revolver in his
hand. He had a handkerchief over his
face below his eyes. Advancing to the
window through the office wall he in
serted the pistol into the compartment
and exclaimed:
Throw up your hands,"
SECURES LITTLE MONEY
Lichttg and Miss Buchanan obeyed
Immediately and the robber. keeping
the pistol trained on them through the
glass, stepped into the office. Here
the three of them, Lichtig, Miss Buch-
man and the holdupman, were shell
tered somewhat from the view of the
street
open the safe now" said the robber.
as he stepped into the office.
Its already open." replied Lichtig
But there's nothing in 1t. have taken
my money to the bank. l will give you
what / have" the pawn broker went
on as the robber scowled.
Lichtig drew SIS from his trousers
pocket and laid it on the counter. The
intruder picked up the money, put it in
his own pocket, and turned toward the
office door, still keeping his eyes on
the pawn broker and Miss Buchanan.
Keep your backs toward the door
look at the WALL" ordered the robber
backing out of the office. IF you watch
me I'll shoot"
but walked leisurely toward the Sixth
street door of the shop AS he reached
the street door he slipped his pistol
into his coat pocket, jerked the hand
kerchief from his face and darted into
Sixth street. Waiting a few moments
Lichtig walked into Sixth street and
looked around. The sidewalks were
clear; no one was in the block
Then the pawn broker sent an alarm
to the police station by telephone and
Captain Book took several men to the
shop. They found no one who had seen
the robber except Lichtig and the
stenographer, both of whom gave
meager descriptions, which, according
to the police, tally with the San Fran
cisco descriptions.

IN SPECIAL
SESSION
WITH HARTMAN REPRESENTA-.
TlVES REGARDING PURCHASE.
Matter Referred to Attorney for Legal
opnioh-Council Favor Grant.
Ing Of Contract.

The waterworks committee, togcth-
er with the mayor and city attorney,
met In special session yesterday after
noon, TO confer with representatives of
the Hartman system, regarding the
matter of the city furnishing the rail
road companies at the Union depot
with a quantity OF water TO be used
by the railroad people at the depot.
The representatives of the railroad
companies proposed TO the council TO
purchase 100,000.000 gallons OF water
annually. at 8 cents per 900 gallons,
for a period OF five years, with an op-
tion TO purchase the water after that
time at the rate OF cents per 900
gallons.
The matter was given due consid-
Grafton by the city fathers, but no
definite conclusion could be arrived at
because Of the fact that there seems to
be question with the city adminiStra-
tion as to whether they can legally
contract with the railroads in this in,
stance. The question was finally re
fcrred TO the city attorney for legal
opinion on th@ matter
The disposition among the council
men seems TO prevail that the con-
tract should he made and If the at
torney advises them that they can
make such contract under the statutes
OF the state. it will very likely be
done
The water supply at the depot Is
somewhat limited under present con-
ditions. and 1t Is the desire of the rail-
roads interested in the matter 10 DIR
chase the water from the city, rather
than enlarge their pumping plants and
their reservoir capacity.
