DARING THIEVES
FLEE WITH GEMS
Rob a Broadway Store of High
Grade italian JeWeIry
Valued at $3.50

Risking detection by belated pedes-
trians or special Watclmen on their
rounds, thieves entered the jewelry
store of G.. Russo At 2l6 South Broad
way some time during Friday night or
yesterday, looted the store of $3.50
worth of high grade Italian jewelry
and made their escape.
The loss was discovered shortly after
s o'clock yesterday morning when Miss
Grace Walton, clerk. arrived at the
store and opened it for the days busi-
ness. The trays in the show case were
bare of the gems and nountings they
contained the night before. The dis
plays in the street windows had been
rummaged through and the hest stock
taken out by the robbers.
A safe containing a large amount of
money in the rear uf the store was not
touched. which fact pu1Hles the detec-
tives The robbers eViicutly were ex-
pert judges of the Nttlta of Italian
jeWelry, as nothing bur the best stones
and those mounted in SulG were taken.
The transom over the front door en-
abled the thieves to enter the place by
crawling through it They made their
escape by a rear window, scaling q
water pipe to the second story of the
Copp building.
With the crowds passing the store
in the evening it would have been al
most impossible for the robbers to
enter the place until the early hours of
the morning without being detected.
A watchman and patrolman passed by
the store every hour during the night,
but did not notice anyone in the build
ing.
Although it is possible that only one
man entered the store, footprints on
the floor and finger marks on the show
cases lead the authorities to believe
the job was done by two men.
Following close upon the attack on
Kussieel Perelson ir the pawnshop of
A. |. Shapiro in North Main street
few days ago and the theft of $500
worth of valuables and money from
that place, it suggests that profess

LADDER BREAKS; PAINTERS
HURT BY 30 FOOT FALL
Sign Makers May Have SuS-
tained Internal Injuries
from the Accident

Falling fifty feet from scaffold-
ing upon which they were working on
a building at S16 West Second street,
Harry Sheehan, twenty-three years old,
and Harry Erskine, twenty-one years
old, both sign painters, narrowly es-
capped death yesterday morning.
Sheehan sustained a compound frac-
ture of the left ankle and Erskine
suffered a fracture of both arms at
the elbow and a fractured nose besides
a number of decorations on the face.
1t is thought they may have suffered
internal injuries. They were hurried
to the receiving hospital, where their
injuries were treated.
Then men, who are in the employ OF
the Erskine system of sign painting
company, had just hoisted ladder
which they were using as scaffold-
ing to the third floor and were MAX
ing preparations to begin work, when
the ladder gave way and precipitated
the men to the ground in pile OF
debris.
Sheehan is the son Of James Shee-
han, a member of the Sheehan brothers
wall paper firm at 900 South Broad
way. He lives at S51 Mallard street.
Erskine lives at 1913 South Fremont
avenue. Both the men were removed
to their homes last night.

mans here from every quarter of the
state and pilgrims from other states
and countries.
California and San Francisco, as
state and leading metropolis, profited
immeasurably by the Portola celebra-
tion of a year ago, and the people who
were entertained here profted in turn
in pleasure and solid enjoyment. Hun"
dreds of thosands of visitors flocked
here then, and the season of fun-mak-
ing and beneficial relaxation was un-
marred. Let this years celebration
surpass even this mighty success, and
let every citizen put his or her shoul 1er
to the wheel to make of Admission day,
on September 9, 1910, the greatest event
of it's kind that California has ever
known.
LAS the chief executive of San Fran
cisco, l wish by this means to appeal to
the people in general for their earnest
cooperation in this great task to make
of Admission day a double celebration
never to be forgotten.

JOB MEANS WEALTH,
BUT HE WANTS TO QUIT
Dog Catcher Finds He Makes
Too Many Enemies

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The great
est dog catcher that North
Hampstead, L. l., ever had has ten
dered his resignation to the town
board, but the board members don't
want to accept it, for they figure that
with him-Charles Collman-on the job
it wouldn't be long before the town
could have a $1,000,000 hall.
1t didn't take Collman long to estab-
lish his record. He received his ap-
pointment on July % last. Up to that
time Chris Nelson. the hackman, had
the job. But Chris in a whole year had
only captured seven dogs. Collman Is
q painter, but he went to the Repub-
lican politicians of North Hampstead
and pointed out that he had voted the
Republican ticket for quarter of a
century without reward. He was inn
mediately appointed dog catcher.
There are no license fees on dogs in
Hampstead township, but it is a dog
misdemeanor to be at large on the pub
lie roads. Collman was told that for
every dog he caught and impounded he
would get $3.50. A citizen wishing to
free his captured dog must pay the
township $3.50.
Collman got a big net and appointed
George Donerseller as his deputy. In
two days they mad Scooped up eighteen
dogs. Collman began to look with an
appraising eye on millionaires' country
homes down Great Neck way
Collman, who had been quite popu-
lar, discovered a sudden change. When
he passed people called in their children
as we'll as their dogs, slammed the
gates or doors in his face and glow
cred at him from windows, This hurt
his feelings.
When Collman found after the two
days work that while he had earned
S27 he had also made about fifty-nlne
life enemies. he went to Justice OF the
peace William Dodge, a member of the
town board, and said he'd like to hand
in his official net. Justice Dodge shook
his head The resignation must be
considered by the board. Meanwhile
miIlionaires as well as plain folk are
keeping their dogs tied.

PERSIAN PAPERS CLOSE
OFFICES DURING STRIKE

TEHERAN, Aug. 6.-An editor-pro-
prietor of a newspaper has not, even
in Persia, a bed of roses. At all sea-
sons he is liable to temporary sup
preston by the government for the
publication of distasteful opinions,
though cases have been known where
authority has been successfully defied.
Sometimes the supply of paper becomes
exhausted and he is obliged to shut up
office for two or three days, Some
times lack of money places him in
similar predicament.
Last week new terror was added
to his existence. on Sunday last none
of the regular newspapers made its
appearance on account of a general
strike of all the printers in Teheran.
Instead the printers themselves pro-
duced a small sheet written in homely
language, under the title of Union of
Workmen." They publish a list or
demands which throw those usually
made by unions in other countries
completely in the shade.

PLAN TO OBSERVE
STATE NATAL DAY
San FranCiScanS Will Hold Mem
orabIe Celebration on
Ninth of September
PROCLAMATION FROM MAYOR

There will be three big days and
nights in San Francisco during the
Admission day 1910 festival, to be held
September 8, 8 and 10, and the pop
ulace of that city are going to work
with a will to make the affair a sue
cess long to be remembered.
The following proclamation has just
been issued:
Mayors office, city and county of
San Francisco.
ITO the people of San Francisco:
ION the 9th day of September, 1870
California will have been one of the
ssterhood of states for sixty years.
The history of this favored section OF
the country, from the earliest days Of
pioneering, has been one rapid sue
cession of conquest, splendid develop
ment of natural resources, the produc-
ton of wealth, noble achievement in
conquering the soil and the building
of great cities. Romance and adVen-
ture in a land of sunshine and flowers
have woven garlands about the COM
mercial greatness of our golden state,
and we find ourselves, with the eyes
of the civilized world upon us, the re-
splendent goal for homeseekers and
the most glorious gem in the nations
diadem of states.
HOLIDAY TO BE TRIUMPH
1.-THE Native Sons and Daughters of
the Golden West nave undertaken the
task of befittingly celebrating this year
the siXtieth birthday of our fair Cali
fornia, and that beloved figure of our
historical being, Don Gaspar de Por-
tOla, has extended d mythical hand to
aid in the success of the occasion. The
Portola committee in fact has joined
in the great work of making this cele-
bratiOn of Admission day a notable
and happy triumph, and so we are to
be the beneficiaries of a double event
that must add still further luster to
the fair fame of San Francisco as an
entertainer Of the world at large.
1.-THE celebration of this Admission
day should surely eclipse all similar
events of the past, the Portola festival
of last year not excluded. The success
of Portola in 1909 proves that the peo-
pie of san Francisco knew well how to
handle big events, and that their in
genuity, skill and generosity afforded
an inexhaustible fund upon which to
draw when it comes to throwing wide
our portals and bidding the world well
come.
"Our natal day is one that should
inspire all Californians, re-
viving, as it does, the indomitable spirit
that guided and sustained our sturdy
pIoneer men and women and gave their
hearts ana MINUS lllo SIASil III " NAN9'

years Of tremendous endeavor and Won

in a blaze of color and glory,
and with Don Gaspar de Portola at its
side to guide the way, shall gleetully
inaueurate a season of rejoicing and

Why Smoke Beats Down" When !

Its getting ready for storm. See
how the smoke beats down just as
soon as it comes out of the chimney?
That's because the air Is so heavy 1t
pushes the smoke down before 1t has
time to RISE"
One often hears this stated as fact
concerning that most generally talked
Of subject on earth, the weather. The
speaker was probably right under
those conditions in prophesying q
storm, but he was scarcely right In
assigning as reason that 1.-THE air Is
so heavy it pushes the smoke down"
Nearly everybody knows 1t is easier
to swim in salt water than In fresh
water As salt water is heavier than
fresh water it is evident that the heav-
, Ter the liquid the greater the buoyant
force.
The atmosphere exerts buoyant
force upon the smoke from ch1mneys
in exactly the same way that water
exerts a buoyant force upon a swim
ner. Therefore when the smoke beats
down" as soon as it leaves chimney
It must be concluded that the buoyant
force exerted upon it is relatively
small and that the air is not heavy.
but light.
A light atmosphere, or, rather,
sudden lessening of the pressure OF
the atmosphere generally, takes place
before a storm. Therefore the smoke
from chimneys, If observed intelligent
