CHAUFFEUR ADMITS AUTOMOBILE THEFT Mystery of the Disappearance of Machine From Sacramento Garage Is Cleared Up Arrest Reveals Romance in Which Stolen Buzz Wagon Was Important Factor The mystery surrounding the theft of the automobile of H. C Keyes, the natural gas magnate of Sacramento, for which. Hex H. Cahaill, a chauffeur, was arrested Sunday, was cleared yes terday, when Oahaill confessed that he had stolen the machine. At the same time it developed that a warrant had been issued for Cahaill charging felony embezzlement from J. J. Shane, an automobile dealer of 610 Eighteenth street, by whom he had formerly been employed. The chauf feur will be taken back to Sacramento to i tand trial for burglary. The recovery of the automobile has not only disclosed a crime, but it has rovealed st romance, for Cahaill. it ap pears, known only to a few friends, had Ynarried the daughter of Mrs. A. Corns of 1214 Pomona avenue, Fruit vale, for whom he was acting as chauf feur at the time of nis arrest. Ca haill's wife was formerly \u25a0 Mrs. M. N. Sponsell. a \ widow of Long Beach. Thus is explained the strange circum . stance that the stolen machine should bare borne the number credited in the f automobile records to Mrs. Sponsell. In his confession Cahaill said that his wife and mother in law owned a AVinton that they desired to exchange for a smaller machine. He was out \u25a0with the car during the month of April and 'toured as far as Fresno. There he celebrated with more vio lence than ' discretion, and to bolster up a depleted purse sold the machine. Unwilling to return to his home with neither" the machine nor the money, Cahaill went to Sacramento and stole the Keyes machine. At the capital city Cahaill broke into Majinlx's garage and there se lected the best looking auto in the \u25a0 place. It was a Stoddard-Dayton . valued at $2, ",00, belonging to IL C. Keyes. Substituting the numbers of the car he had sold at Fresno Cahaill drove the Stoddard-Dayton to his home at Fruitvale and told his wife and mother in law that he had obtained it in exchange for,, the Winton.

It takes a good drama, a most .amusing comedy or a delicious farce to last long enough for a career in the theaters which harbor the r suc cesses of stars. But when, a play does outlive the bumps of many road tours, the treatment of companies numbers 1, 2,-3 and 4 and s the;wear and tear inci dent^ to travel and. still . has "-.'vitality enough to appeal to the play goers who, possibly, have seen it in Its .younger days, then surely it is -entitled to be considered a classic and to-be treated with the respectful consideration that goes '.with successful ' achievement < and ripening age.

The story is as naive as any Irish drama. » It' is full of vil lainy, high minded gallantry, deeds. bank- notes, murders, Irish' beauties, heirs and. heiresses, but the thread of its narrative is bright green and spark-" ling with homely Celtic wit- The arw-' dience last night' believed every "word of it, and so did I. As - a matter of fact, tiiere ,Is not much to tax your "credulity, and the play, though old fashioned. Is delight-" ful. It Is so because it is old fashioned, I guess.- I like the freshness of tne story; it has been kept green-all these years." I like : the simplicity of Its ap peal.' ,1 like. its confident .way of chal-; lenglng. your "generous sentiments and throwing itself at your mercy, like "a dear, delightful child who knows it; is gqlng*to be loved whatever It does. I like the fine faith in humanity that its plot ' discloses, and ' I ' like to hug .the belief that the good^ folk "who suffer in the world— Tdriven to their pain by the bad ' uns — get their own again; even if it is only .in , the last act that the restitution comes to themj and the. retribution catches up to the ones whom we hiss through three acts.
