4 NEWS OF THE COUNTIES BORDERING SAN FRANCISCO BAY THIEF ROBS SAFE AND LOCKS DOOR Manager of Cigar Store Finds \u25a0^i $500 Has Been Stolen by ;;U Use of Keys \ 'OAKLAND, June 2. — Five hundred dollars In gold was stolen mysteriously frdm- the doubly locked safe of the United Cigar company's store at Tenth ana Washington streets two nights ago, aad th^ police are unable to find a trace ot **c thief. The doors leading to the c*.: nere Intact when the theft was discovered. Two Yale locks placed on the safe as additional safeguards agrainst vhieves had not been tampered with. Through the doors of the store, •which also are protected by Yale locks, the thief passed without marring the iloorways. \ This gives rise to the theory of the police that the .theft was committed by; some one having~"knowleflg-e oT the Interior of the private office and of the workings of the safe. The combination was turned, the safe opened and after the money, had been removed the doors to'the safe were secured, again. 'manager discovers theft \u25a0;The theft was discovered yesterday rnQr.ning by the manager. J. F. Mc- Neliy, who lives in the building above. He had open*d the safe to take out the rndney for the day's business, and was surprised to find the" money "box. which had been locked, open. The money was g-one and the safe doors closed as he had- left them. -I He said nothing to any one in the place, but at once notified the police. Detective Hodgkins was detailed on the case, .and after an entire' day he w^b unable to find a tangible clew to the identity of the person who stole the rrtoney. He is convinced, however, that $hi culprit was equipped with keys to open- the Yale locks, and knew the safe Combination. , SUSPECT EASTERN CROOKS •'. Against the police theory that the ithjeves were familiar with the place Is. : the suspicion that eastern cracks man may have accomplished Ihe theft. TTte cracking of the safe in the Melrose Southern Pacific station^ where $115 \u25a0was taken, seems to confirm the police belief that eastern safe workers are headed this way. This suspicion first .firose months ago when the warehouse ©?• the Standard Oil company at Rich mond was entered by burglars, --who Bt©le dynamite enough to wreck a city.

June 2.— The plat fdrm makers got together again to- ; .day and It is probable that the docu ment which wiltf be presented" "to the' Chicago national convention for rati fication will be forged into shape here In Washington within the next. week or "ten days. Attorney General Ellis of Ohio, who may be the other member of the reso r Jut lon committee, and who is conced ed to be responsible for the recognized virility of the Buckeye state repub lican platf om, has had a number of conferences with the secretary of war recently and will remain in Washing ton until a thorough understanding Is : reached. Among those who par \u25a0 ticipated in today's conference was ' .Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, who enjoys the president's entire confi • der.ee. Kellogg is a delegate at large. . It can be asserted with positlveness • iha,t if the wishes of Secretary Taft ''and his friends are permitted to pre . 'vail in the framing of the alt import " «jit document the indorsement of . President Roosevelt and ,- . Roosevelt /policies in the platform will be any ;-° thicg : but lukewarm. And should the \u25a0 ...TAtion&l convention nominate ...the sec \u25a0 • f fetary of war and adopt a lukewarm j indorsement it is freely predicted that -/in his 'letter of acceptance* Mr. Taft -will pledge himself to carry-out the : /Roosevelt policies already inaugurated "and to do his best to secure the adop- : :flon of those now In contemplation. \u25a0. .'"Attorney General Ellis Is .un derstood to be in favor of a plank • stipulating that amendments should be. made to the Sherman ami- trust laws and Secretary Taft is known t6" v be' r a. •" believer. In tie. efficiency. of tru6t vcon trol th'rougV federal laws. The po sition of the war secretary on the tar iff question Is not and has not been a matter of conjecture. He believes, in revision and thinks -this should be. un dertaken at a special session of the . sixtieth congress to be called' immedi , ately after March 4. 1909. . He thinks, too, that protection should not' be construed and interpreted as "overprotection," but that the sched ule* "should be drawn so as to. cover • .as accurately as possible' the differ ence between the cost of production in foreign countries and that "in •the United - States. . The predic * lion Is made that the tariff plank to be presented to the resolutions ' coY .mittee by the Taft followers will fol .' low closely the lines of the Ohio plat . form. \u25a0 • COUNTY CLERK MARRRIES YOUNG SCHOOL TEACHER Joseph H.

Lilley, whose reso lution and charges in connection with the sJ-callcd submarine' boat scandal resulted last week In a" Bevere'^scorlng of the congressman by the Boiitoll in vestigating committee, today gave a statement on the subject.. Incorporated in the statement are letters- which declare that two weeks before the report of the committee de nouncing Lilley was made, Boutell ex pressed admiration for Lilley and en deavored to' effect an agreement where by the matter under investigation might be compromised. The letter Ih-whlchthls allegation is made is signed -'F.W. Reislnger, M. D.\' and was addressed to Mrs. Lilley after the doctor had called upon Boutell to explain, that Lllley's physical condition necessitates his leaving the co.untry. STILL MAINTAINS CHARGE 3 • * The letter adds that when the propo sition of a compromise was* carried to Lilley. by Dr. Reislnger the congress man "replied- that he would rather die than withdraw the. charges, which he knew were honest and square. In con-, eluding his statement Lilley says: .:**A suggestion that a member, of , the house has been annoyed by importuni ties of the Electric .boat' company's rep resentative cannot ' rightfully be con strued as a charge against the member. A request that the committee ascer tain by impartial Investigation wheth er improper practices on the part of the Electric boat company had in fluenced'congressional action is not, in my judgment, a charge against mem bers of. the house.

Ore., Jun« t. — Although returns are not as yet complete. It Is believed that Governor Chamberlain, democratic, has been elected United States senator over Judge Henry M. Cake, republican, although late returns show that Cake is closing up somewhat the' lead that Chamberlain had earlier In the count. * Despite tho fact that the state Is normally republican by a majority ot nearly 40.000. Chamberlain has been twice elected governor, the poslti6it ha now holds, and his popularity is so re markable that republicans by the thou sands have crossed party lines and come to hi.>support. Apparently he Is elected senator, in the face of one of the most vicious campaigns In the his tory of the state. He was attacked on almost, every, possible '\u25a0 pretext and •charges .were made against him [that If true would forever disqualify him from holding public office In this state, nota bly that he * was Involved in" frauds whereby the state lands were Illegally acquired. 9£BP -Chamberlain has made a splendid record as governor and he Is perhaps the . best ; political speaker In -Oregon^ but the honor he has just won was not secured without a sharp contest. Cake has campaigned throughout the state and has left no stone unturned to. effect his election. . Bur he is con ceded by his own party. to be a man who has no great .force of oharacter and he is not such a mixer or so popu lar as Chamberlain. The latter did not campaign nearly so widely as Cake nor make as many speeches. Cake won his nomination at the pri maries before the people fairly, over Charles W. Fulton, now senator. It is charged that the Fulton forces, while protesting they would support Cake. have knfTed him at the polls in the hope that the republican legislature '.wlll ; : refuse' 'to'. .elect. Chamberlain, a democrat, and will unite upon Fulton. : / Whether." Chamberlain's election will be affirmed" by, the legislature next win ter. 13 an Interesting speculation. While the representatives will be strongly re publican it is believed the majority are pledged to statement No.. 1, which Is a promise to vote for the people's choice for United States senator. t "Pulton's following - cchtrola - th.© re publican* party In thi3 state and the ' developments at the winter session will be Intensely Interesting:.
