COFFEE URN STOLEN;
POLICE SEEK RETURN.
Article Was Valued at $45; Un-
fortunates In the Police
Court Today

Chief of Police Klugherz would like
to hear from anybody who has inno-
Gently purchased a coffee-urn, which
was stolen from the basement or the
Royal lunch room, owned by John
Kalos, on South Front street. The
urn is worth about $45.
Robert Drysdale, formerly employed
at the rendering plant of Otis Dolson
on the north side, was caught in the
basement whence the coffee-urn was
stolen. He was cleaning there and
was suspected of stealing the urn.
The door was shut on him, so he
could not get out, and the police
were notified, yesterday afternoon.
Officer Albrecht responded to the call
and brought the man to the police
station. 1t was found that the man
had stolen pair of shoes and sold
them to secondhand store in the
city, but no evidence could be dis
covered that it was he who stole the
coffee urn. Drysdale pleaded guilty
this morning to the charge of petit
larceny and Judge Plymat sent him
to the county Jail for ten days. In
the mean time the police are investi-
eating to ascertain whether is was
Drysdale or somebody else that stole
the coffee urn. If it is found that he
stole the coffee urn an additional
charge of grand larceny will be placed
against him.
Wesley Benish, farm laborer, en-
ployed west of the city, paid fine
of $40 and costs, having pleaded gull
ty to the charge of having been
drunk
Mortimer Fuller, farm laborer from
st. James, pleaded guilty in the mu-
nicipal court this morning to the
charge of having been drunk, and in
default of the cash wherewith to pay
fine of SO and costs, went to the
county Jail fo- fifteen days.
Chief of Police Klugherz this morn
ing summoned jurors for the trial in
the municipal court of Paul Fleisch-
mann, a young railroad fireman, on
the charge of assault, in the third de-
gree on w. F. Kruger, "a teamster.
It appear that one night when KrueE
ger and several others were going
home from church, some boys threw
snow-b balls. at them, and row and
fight followed. The trial was set
to take place this afternoon.

The following is an extract from a

will appreciate hearing from her
friends at that address. 1--WE have had
about a month of, the finest warm
weather here from January l to
February 1, but after that rain, cold
and some snow, which melted away
soon. Some of the girls had never seen
snow before and they were wild over
it. Peach trees and almond trees have
bloomed and the spring flowers are
all out. When ] first came at about
Christmas time, the trees and grass
were green and the birds were in full
song. This is a great place for mea-
dow larks and canaries. The air is
alive with them and they are echoing
songs. all day long. There are some
very strange trees here, the madrone
and eucalyptus, shed their bark in
stead of their leaves. The bark of the
madrone comes off in patches and that
of the eucalyptus strips down from the
top. There are many pines around
here with a dense underground. This
is beautiful place. The college is
located upon the. top of Hollow noun
tain, so called because of the deep
valley upon it's top. From the front
you come out upon a bright valley.
green as an emerald and at the back
the hills rise dark and pine covered.
BY walking just little way in any
direction, you can look across inter-
vening valleys to the mountains be-
yond perhaps twelve or fourteen
miles away, but seeming much near
err. There is something about the air
that makes the distant hills look
purple. We walked a couple of miles
one day to a point where we can, see
the st. Helena valley and the town OF
st. Helena across the Napa valley for
about forty miles. The farms and the
mountains beyond made view well
worth a greater effort. am told that

Chancellor Won Bethmann Hollweg

tanned in The Cologne Gazette 1t is
stated that on March the chancel-

he intended TO propose measure
for the extension of the power Of
government control more generally
among the masses of the German
people. He said such a measure might
be enacted after the war was over.
1t is not thought that in making this
statement, he was in any way inf1u-
enced by the news of the revolu-

is not believed possible that he
could at that time have known any
thing about such movement.

FRANCE. NOT TO Line
up FOR PROHIBITION
One Of the Most Agitated Internal Sub
= p jects In That Country at
. Present
From Wednesdays Daily.
WILBUR S. FORREST.

Paris, March 2S.-tBy Mail. !
France will not see prohibition of
alcohol for years
This brief explanation of one of the
most agftated Internal subjects in
France just now was made to The
United Press today by Jean Finot,
noted French writer, author and
president of the French society for
action against alcohol.
Mr.. Finot predicts a long and bitter
fight before France is placed in the
list of prohibition countries. Widely
circulated reports that French legis-
lative bodies would soon enact dry
France were denied by M. Finot.
Prohibition in France does not
mean as fhe word means in America,
an absolutely dry France. 1t means the
elimination of brandy, whiskey and
other spirituous liquors which do so
much damage to the peoples OF any
country. The proverbial French light
wine will always remain.
1.-THE fight against alcohol which
the prohibition forces of France are
making has the most bitter opposition.
When it is considered that over four
million people have their interests
connected with the production, dis
tribution and sale Of liquor this is not
surprising.
"But France will eliminate liquor III
time, probably in about three years,
just as many American states have
done. Then movement already has
great and growing support and is
backed morally by some of Frances
greatest men.
M Finot's latest book, entitled, "The
Enemy of The Interior" quotes vari-
Gus authorities to demonstrate that
French wounded during the present
struggle, who were habitual users of
alcohol. have shown a remarkable
tendency to succumb to wounds
which would not prove fatal to nom
alcoholics.
Prohibition will be one of the
greatest after the war questions in
France. 1t is expected to precipitate,
more legislative and popular interest
than any subject has done for years.
