CHINESE THIEF is
PUZZLE TO POLICE
Smiles BlandIy and Refuses to
Tell Where He Stole SO Suits

BERKELEY, April 5.--Yee Ling, 10
years old, student and traveller, is the
human puzzle that Chief Vollmer and
his detectives are trying to solve. AS
a testimony to the cunning of the young
sive overcoats, summer suits, two blue
serge suits, two revolvers and other
articles in the police station.
When confronted with the loot he
smiled blandly and refused to tell the
authorities where he had stolen the
suits. A large number of the frater-
nifty houses, churches and other organi-
zatiQns have been notified of Lees
capture and asked to help identify the
goods.
Immigration Officer J. E. Gardiner of
Angel island grilled the Chinese this
morning, but failed to learn much from
him. He was asked if he was an alien
and had come into the United States
through fraud, but Yee declared that
he had formerly lived in a mission in
Regent street.
He is believed by Vollmer to have
been operating in this city for the last
four months, visiting the churches,
fraternity houses and other places.
Although Yee says that he has been
in the state since 1907. having come
here with naturalized father, the au-
thorities are looking up this phase of
his history and may be able to secure
evidence to deport him. Yee was cap
tured by the Oakland police, who re-
covered the plunder.

Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

ALAMEDA, April 5.-President E. B.
Bullock, Councilmen John H. Walker
and Fred L. Krumb were appointed a
special committee by the city council
tonight to investigate the financial af-
fairs and office of the city treasurer
and tax collector, Oswald Lubbock
The committee was directed to make
thorough overhauling of the books
cash and records and to report to the
council April 10. Councilman Sumner
Crosby introduced the resolution which
called for the investigation. 1t was
adopted without discussion.
Mayor Noy said that discussion was
out of order and that it was the duty
of the committee to follow the coun-
ellis directions.
The inquiry is the result of the dis
covery of shortage of $40 in the
city treasury. Lubbock blamed his
deputy, George Christensen, but the
latter denied any knowledge of the dis
appearance of the cash. Lubbock said
that he invited an investigation.
At the request of William S. Tevis
the council will meet with him Friday
afternoon at the city hall to take up
the consideration of his bay cities
water company project.
The water rates were fixed tonight at
80 cents for each 1000 gallons, with
a minimum rate of ST a month to pri-
vate consumers and 81 a month fire
