STATE BUREAU OF
POLICE PROPOSED
Movement Started by Meeting
of Chiefs From Eight Cali
fornia Cities

A movement for the establishment Of
a state bureau of police. which will
have far reaching effect in the future
apprehension of criminals and the
Identification of lost and stolen prop
erty, was set on foot Thursday night,
when the chiefs of police of eight cit
les of the state met in as downtown
cafe and pledged their support to the
scheme.
The police officials at the meeting
were. Chief Seymour of San Francisco,
Chief Wilson of Oakland. Chief Voll-
mer Of Berkeley. Chief Conrad of Ala
media, Chief Bray of Stockton. Chief
Kidder of San Jose. Chief GaIlowayNof
Los Angeles, Chief Stanford of Vallejo,
Captain of Detectives Peterson of Oak
land and Charles F. Skelly. clerk of the
San Francisco board of police commits
sioners.
The plan is for the establishment in
San Francisco of central office for
the bureau. where detailed records OF
lost and stolen property will be kept
and the records and identifcations of
all criminals kept on file. The coop
Grafton of every chief of police in every
city in the state will be asked as well
as the cooperation of all sheriffs and
constables.

wanted will be filed at the central Of
flee.
The system for the identification of
lost and stolen articles which was
inaugurated in the local department by
former Chief of Police Jesse Cook will
be used in the central Office of the
state bureau. This system, which for
some unaccountable reason was ban
ished when John B. Martin was chief
will be reinstalled on order OF Chief
Seymour.
The men who met Thursday night
and who resolved themselves into a
temporary organization will ask the
coming legislature to provide by law
for the establishment of the state bu-
reau as outlined. The cost to the state
will be small. as all the organization
will ask for is enough money to equip
and maintain the office. The men in
charge of the Office will be detailed
from the larger cities at the expense
of those cities and no salaries will be
asked from the state. The temporary
organization elected the following off,
GERS: Chief Vollmer of Berkeley, presi-
dent; Chief Seymour of San Francisco,
vice president; Charles F. Skelly, sec
retary.

company in a sketch, "A Close Call"

HOLDUPMEN ARE
WARNED BY JUDGE
Leniency Not TO Be Expected in
Department 8

A stern warning to holdupmen that
so far as department of the superior
court is concerned, nothing but the Sc
verest treatment is to be expected,
was given by Judge Dunno Friday in
sentencing Lee Clark and Bruce Mar
tin to serve seven years each in San
Quentin. Clark and Martin brutally
assaulted Peter Dubir, who is nearly
80 years old. and robbed him of a watch
and few dollars in coin.
THE court regards it as part of It's
duty to help rid the city of thugs of
this Kind" said the judge in denying
an application for probation and pass
ing sentence. I'm all holdup cases in
which viciousness on the part of the
defendants was exhibited, severe
punishment will be imposed. Robberies
of this kind with assaults on the victim
are becoming altogether too common.

singing at the concert in the Casino
de la Foret Friday last She charmed
US with her artistic Interpretation of
the grand aria from Louise and
'Plaisir d'Amour.' Her voice is rich
warm and ringing. Surely we can
predict for her brilliant future"
Nearly all of the stars who made
Oscar Hammerstein's opera at the
Manhattan success win be heard
here before the close of the present
season. Tetrazzini sings for us this
week. Nine. Gerville- -Reache comes
early in the new year and Bonci ar
rives here a few weeks later Nine
contralto. Her voice in quality and
range has frequently been likened to
that of the great Scalchi.
Kocian, the Bohemian violinist will
be the first of the great instrumental
lists to be heard here next season un-
der Greenbaum's direction. His open
ing date win be January 1a.
One of the most interesting novel
ties which the Loring club has been
instrumental in presenting to a San
Francisco audience is the cycle for
soprano solo with chorus of mems
voices entitled in Springtime," by A.
Herbert Brewer, which was an instant
success at a recent Leeds festival.
The poems of Milton and Shake
speare. which the composer has Sc
lected for these four pastorals, are
treated in a mastery way. As a con-
trast TO this, The Minstrel by F. A.
Kern for chorus of mems voices with
tenor solo will be notable in the pro-
gram of the second concert of the
thirty fourth season of the club, which
is to be given Tuesday evening in
Christian Science hall.
There is always genuine pleasure in
the LoFing clubs rendering of Adolphe
Adams "Cantique de Noelp GO Holy
Night'), the arrangement used being
for soprano solo with chorus of mems
voices, this arrangement for mems
voices having been made specially for
the Loring club. Three old Christmas
carols and Wallace A. Sabins Carmen
Natalie" complete the Christmas sec
tion of the program. The Latin poem
which Sabin has set for bass voice
with chorus of mems voices is the
work of Prof. Leon F. Richardson,
well known in University of California
circles Another interesting item on
the program is Edouard Kremser's
serenadef for two choirs of mems
voices.
The club will be assisted by Mrs.
Alma Berglund Winchester, soprano,
and a sextet of strings with John w.
Lewis as first violin, together with
Frederick Maurer. pianist, r. Fletcher
Husband, organist. Wallace a Sabin
will conduct the concert.

Preserves Natural
Color of the Hair

(From Woman's National Magazine.) j
ANY woman can postpone for years
the time when her hair becomes thin
and gray. 1t is mistake to shampoo
frequently with soap and water, as
that tends to make thetscalp scaly and
hard and the hair dull and faded.
The hair will respond quickly. to
the proper home treatment. Put in a
fruit Jar four ounces of orris root and
four ounces of therox. Shake until
well mixed. Once or twice a week
sprinkle little of this powder on the
head and brush it thoroughly through
the hair.
This dry shampoo removes dirt,
dust and dandruff from the scalp and
leaves the hair fresh, sweet and clean.
The therox helps to grow beautiful
hair and preserve its natural color. =

laid before acting Secretary OF War
Oliver his plan for raising the Maine
from the mud OF Havana harbor: lo.''i
It was decided to refer the 0 'Rourke
plan to an army board ofengineers,
which will be appointed shortly.
Briefly, this newest plan is based
upon system of pneumatic caissons,
such as have made possible the build
ing of extremely deep foundations
under water, and which contributed
largely to the success of the building of
the tunnels under the Hudson. No
divers are used, and the pontoon system
is put completely aside. !. -.
The method proposed is to swing the
Maine in cradle of powerful cables
and lift her completely out ofthe water,
where q complete inspection OF her hull
will be possible While the ship is
suspended above water Mr.. O'Rourke
declares she can. be repaired'as readily
as if she were in drydock, and after be-
ing relaunched from the cable cradle
can leave Havana harbor under her own
steam.
First, wharf of piles would be built
OH either side of the submerged wreck.
Then between the wharves and the hull
twelve pneumatic caissons would be
sunk--six on each side. Practical tun-
mel building operations would be EN-
ployed thereafter. and a hundred little
tunnels would be driven through the
mud under the Names keel between
the opposite !caissons. Through each
tunnel powerful steel cable would be
run and each end run up the outside Of
the caisson to the wharf above.
