HORSES STOLEN BY
DARING THIEVES
AT SAN CARLOS
Two Valuable Steeds and
Victoria Taken From
Private Stable
Especial Dispatch TO The Call


SAN CARLOS, Aug. 2.-Thieves In
vaded the beautiful estate of Mrs Tim
othy Guy Phelps Sunday night and,
devoting their attention to the stables,
made off with two valuable carriage
horses, handsome victoria and two
sets of harness. The raid was effected
with cunning that betokens the ex-
perienced marauder of earlier days. So
stealthily was it acca,splished that
neither the hostlere nor the coacl1man
were awakened.
The preeaution had been taken to
spread straw along the floor of the
barn. and as the horses were led out
the sound of their hoofs was completely
muffled. Once in the open, the high
waymen drove the stolen steeds over
the hills and disappeared.
The robbery has occasioned unusual
concern among the wealthy residents
who maintain palatial estates down the
peninsula. There have been occasional
visits from night prowlers, but it was
generally believed that the horse thief
was an extinct species as far as the
peninsula was concerned. No special
precautions have been taken to safe
guard stock, because the need for it
was never apparent.
we were greatly surprised" said
Mrs Phelps, ito find that some one had
entered the stables. Two very hand
some carriage horses were stolen. also
a victoria and two sets of harness. Hay
had been scattered about so that the
horses were led away without making
a noise. They were taken through the
farmyard, and what became of them
we do not know. We have no clew to
the thieves. but have offered re-
ward"

California City has been used by the

about three miles north of Tiburon 1t
is in the cove near Ell Campo. It is
not on the railroad line, but is easily
reached by wagon from San Rafael or
Tiburon. There are an ample approach
and anchorage from the bay.
The reason advanced for the aban-
donment of the idea OF improving San
Diego is that all coaling of ships larger
than the gunboat class has to be done
from lighters. The San Diego station
will be retained for the use of gun
boats, torpedo boats and other minor
steam craft
A feature of the projected station at
California City will be the oil supply

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
TO SWING Tie AK
Further Changes to Be Made as
Result of Scandal in the
Freight Office

Further changes are impending in the
freight Office of the Southern Pacific as
a result of the recent exposure of the
loose methods and shortages in the de-
partment. Three clerks were dismissed
month ago. Melville C. Cleaves, the as
sistant local freight agent, has left his
home in Fruitvale and his wife has re-
ported his absence to the police. In the
meantime the Southern Pacific has en-
ployed experts to revolutionize the book
keeping and checking systems of that
branch of the service.
There is a disposition on the part of
the higher officials of the corpora ton to
blame William j. Hardy, the freight
agent, for the system that proved so
disastrous. 1t is admitted that Hardy
took prompt action to protect the COM
pany as soon as he learned of the short
ages, but he is held to blame for dis
charging the high salaried men in his
bureau and substituting clerks who
proved not only incompetent. but dis
honest. 1t appears that Hardy endeav-
ored to economize and let out members
of his force who were receiving sala-
ries of $3.50 and SITS a month and re-
placed them with inexperienced clerks.
No definite estimate has been reached
as to the amount of the shortages. IT
will be impossible to ascertain the exact
sum until the investigation has been
completed 1t is known, however. that
the loss will exceed the figures first
given out.
The presence here during the last two
weeks of James Lewis, the freight
agent with headquarters at San lose
has given rise to the belief that he and
Hardy are to switch places Lewis has
been busy in the Flood building IA
miliarizing himself with the work of
the local Office.
