BURGLARS SILENTLY
STEAL AWAY CLOTHES
OF SOUND SLEEPERS
Open Door Is Only Clew to
Audacious Marauders
Making Rich Haul
COIN AND GEMS GONE
Robbers Take Family Plate
After Rifling Trousers
. of Men in House
While their victims were soundly
sleeping early yesterday morning, bur
grlars entered the home of Samuel Har
ris, at 1931 Geary street, and accom
plished one of the most audaciously j
bold robberies on recofd in San Fran- ]
Cisco police annals. The burglars j
passed 'and repassed around the beds
"of the Eleeping family, taking the j
clothes from three different rooms into
the dining apartment, where they pro
ceeded at their leisure to rifle the
.pockets, lift stlckpJns from neckties j
. and otherwise despoil the garments |
4 of everything that could be converted j
Into money. This done, the robbers col- j
lected the family silver in a basket and j
fhen quietly left as they had come, by I
the back stairs. I
When the male members of the fam- i
" ily awoke yesterday morning and
looked for their clothes, they were '
• gone. Only one room had not been j
entered and that was the apartment |
• occupied by J. Peckerman and wife, i
\u25a0 He arose and went on a search for the ,
. others' missing clothes, finding them
\u25a0spread about on the dining room table,
with pockets turned inside out.
• The family retired as usual Saturday
night. Peckerman, according to his
• custom, locked his bedroom door. The
: burglars probably entered the house
" about 2 o'clock in the morning. They
came up the back staJrs and turned on
' the hall light which they left burning.
Supplied with light in plenty, the rob
bers tried the bedroom doors. Three were
1 unlocked, those opening into the apart
ments of P. Harris, J. Peckerman Jr.,
Louis Harris and Samuel Harris. Tip
. toeing around each of the- rooms they
• easily secured the clothes and took
them out. Samuel Harris had hung his
clothes In his closet, to reach which
the robber had to pass within a foot of
his head, open the closet door and re
pass again. Still Harris did not waken.
When an inventory of deficits was I
taken yesterday morning It was found •
that about $100 had been secured from i
the pockets of the various pairs of j
trousers, one gold watch, two solid !
gold chains, one gold watch charm set j
with a large diamond, two diamond i
stickpins and the family plate also had !
been stolen.
The burglary f was reported to the
police but as the only clue the marau
ders left behind was a reputation for }
audacity and the open back door, -it |
will be difficult, say the detectives, to
trace the men, who apparently are old
timers at the business and who will
know how to dispose of their booty
with the least chance of being cap
tured.
SOAP AND TOOTHBRUSH
ARE LOOT OF THIEVES
Miss Anna Tucker Appeals to Police
to Stop Disappearance of Her
Toilet Articles
Articles of "more or less value have
been disappearing with monotonous
regularity from the private lodging
house of Miss Anna Tucker, 1471 O'Far
rell street, who told the police about it
yesterday. Toilet articles and bars of
soap are not overlooked by the petty
thieves, -who accept whatever chance
puts in their whether it be a
toothbrush or a piece of money. Miss
Tucker wants it stopped and appealed
yesterday to Captain of Detectives
Colby to see what could be done
about it.
She told the officer that she had her
eusplcions as to who was responsible
for the petty pillaging, and, acting on
her hint, the sleuths will land, it is said,
the purloiner of other persons' soap,
toothbrushes and small change.
HEMORRHOIDS
SORESKIEI
Accompanied by Terrible Itching—,
A Complicated and Most Distress-
ing Case— Well-known Remedies
Failed to Cure— Doctor Thought
an Operation Necessary— Then
CUTICURA PROVED ITS
WONDERFUL EFFICACY
"I am now eighty years old and one
moming. three years ago, I -was taken
with a hard pain in my right side. In
two dars I had an attack of piles
(hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding.
The doctor gave me some medicine and
en ointment for them which helped me
some but I had to keep using them all
the time. Then 1 changed to the P— —
remedy; but if I did not uws it every
day. I would get worse. The doctor
said the only help for me was to go to
a hospital and do operated on. At
this time, about a year ago. I went to
using the S remedies. I tried them
for four or live months but did not get
much help for my piles. During this
time sores would come on a fleshy part
of ray body. They bothered me all
the time. I would get one healed and
another would come. These sores
changed to eczema, accompanied by
a terrible itching. It seemed. as if I
could not keep my hands from tearing
my flesh. This and the pile trouble
brought on an inflamed condition.
Then I cot the Cuticura Remedies. I
washed the affected parts with Cuticura
Soap and warm water in the morning,
at noon, and at night.- then used Cuti-
cura Ointment on the irritated sur-
faces and injected a quantity of Cuti-
cura Ointment with a Cuticura Sud-
pository ; Syringe. I- also took Cuti-
cura Resolvent Pills three times a day.'
It took a month of this treatment to
get me in a fairly healthy state and
then I treated myself once a day for three
months and, after that, once or twice a
week. It is fortunate that I used Cuti-
cura. The treatments I had tried took a
lot of money that I would have saved by.
using Cuticura Remedies sooner, ~ but
I am wiser now. lam supplied with
a full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
would not feel safe without them.

FEDERAL NET TO AID
STATE TO CATCH BIG
SHARKS OF LOTTERY
Two Convicted, One Is in
Hiding, While Ticket
Sellers Have Quit
BIG FIVE IN TERROR
Lesser, Metzgef and Other
Heads s of Thieving Trust
Cower in Fear
The school of slippery lottery sharks
is floundering in shallow water and the
big ones are fighting their Impeded
way to the deep, where they hope to
I escape the fate* that has befallen some
iof the smaller fry, the minnows of the
, business. R. Gordon, alias Joseph
Gardner, and brother in law of Harry
; Lesser, has been arrested and, con
victed; Mike O'Connor, brother of one
of the huge sharks of the lottery trust,
has suffered a similar fate; W.. P. Oaks, '
j who in honester days c was known as
I John Hoag, Is in hiding; Charles
j Rosenberg and C. Isaacs of Oakland j
i are, temporarily at least, out of the
j distributing business, while agents, big <
land little, are giving up their knavery;
j and lottery ticket sales are reduced by
i police vigilance to nothing.
! On top of these discouragements the
\u25a0 big fish. Lesser. Schoenberg, Bibbero, :
Metzger and O'Connor, have got terror !
|at their hearts because, though they i
have been able thus far to slip through
! the great meshes of the state's dragnet,
they see the shadow of the federal net,
and its weave is too fine to elude and
too strong to break. Just what the
federal government Is doing Is Impos
sible at present to learn. No Informa
tion as to the nature of the work be
ing prosecuted Is forthcoming at the
ofHeos of the inspectors who are op
erating secretly, but developments are
promised, within a short time -which,
with the operation, of the state au
thorities in the lottery bursting busi
ness will put an end to the gigantic
swindle \u25a0which has been gripping San
Francisco for years.
• The state enactments are effectlve^as
discouragers to the lottery business,
but are not vigorous enough to put a
complete stop to it.' The fines that
are imposed on agents for selling
tickets and distributors for ' having
them In their possession constitute a
! serious menace to the ticket • traffic.
\u25a0The trust, however, upon paying the
I fines imposed scratches off another
j prize or two and thus pays the fine out
| of the pockets of ticket buying dupes.
| With the opportunity to select their
I own numbers In secret and pay prizes
according to a -schedule of \u25a0 their: own
making th»? matter of getting back the
money which the state has taken . from
the company in fines becomes merely a
j question to the members of the trust
| of "wielding a pencil and crossing out
enough prizes to cover the penalties.
Captain Anderson declares he will
keep up his raiding and will continue
to arrest agents until they have to
quit. The process, he. pointed out, will
be slow but it "will, be sure. The
technical loop holes In the state law
are well known to the members of the
lottery trust, who hide their tickets 'in
a safe deposit box; keep secret, the
place where the coupons are numbered,
this being the final process which
makes their slips of worthless paper
unlawful; exercise extreme caution- in j
shipping thft coupons to distributors,
and keep their office in Second street
free from incriminating evidences.
When by some hitch a malefactor is
caught" the punishment meted out is
not severe enough to. keep him from
taking anothcrchance to maintain the
colossal fraud which has heretofore
paid such enormous . dividends' to its
perpetrators. ' .
Subjoined are the code provisions
pertaining to the lottery . business
which the lottery robbers are. busying
themselves in studying. The federal
laws are shorter and more to the point.
It is the latter that Metzger, Schoen
berg. O'Connor, Bibbero and Lesser are
afraid of most. The penal code treats
of lotteries as follows:
Section 31ft— Lotterip« : defined: A lottery Is
»ny scheme * for the disposal or distribution of

charged '.: from Alcatraz island Saturday,
visited, the "park "emergency hospital
last night to-haye his eyes treated, and
was found to *be J suffering \. with a se-f
vere case "of . trachoma, a disease "which
officials, of -the health department' have
been making'great effortsto stamp out:
Horn was almost; blind, and Dr.* Mag
nus made a careful examination, disf
covering that; the disease had reached
a serious stage. Dr. Magnus \u25a0 then ar
ranged -to • have "Horn .admitted to
Hahnemann hospital, where city and
county patients -are being caredj.for
during the' renovation and fumigation
ofthe r city and county institution."*. . ;
