Trip to Australia
Oct. 7.—Robert Charles
Holt, who surrendered himself to the
police last night and confessed to steal
ing |?r>,OOt* from the Australian pov
ernment while a member of the Royal
Australian artillery, made further.ad
missions today and will be held until
information is received, through the
BritUh consul in Han Francisco, re
garding the alleged robbery. Unit, who
also gives the alias Clafton. sticks to
his story of the big theft and gives
many circumstantial details.
If found by the police that Holt's
story is true he will be held until ex
tradition papers are received from Syd
ney, Australia, where the alleged
crime was committed- If his story is
found to be untrue he probably will
be deported.
P. J. Griffiths, inspector of the United
States Immigration service, told the
Oakland police Holt could be deported
because he was illegally in the coun
try. Because of his unusual story and
of other escapades which he tells, he
can also be sent back as an undesir
able.
PRISONER BLAMES WOMAN
Holt said Miss Rose Miller, with
whom he had lived in Australia, is re
sponsible for his giving himself up.
He met her again in San Francisco a
few days ago, and, fearing that she
would tell the police, surrendered.
"Rose Miller knew that I robbed the
safe, Holt said, "and had forged the
check. After I got the money I bought
an automobile and took her on several
rides in the suburbs of that city. I
spent a lot of the money in the 11 days
1 was in Sydney. I promised to marry
Rose, but I was drunk at the time.
The police were looking for inc. hut
they were watching the water front.
"I then left Rose after giving her a
large sum of money and went to New
castle, where I shipped, on the barken
tine Oeorgiana. Finally I landed in
San Francisco and Rose followed me
here, determined to kill me. When I
saw her I decided the best thing I
could do would be to give myself up."
IV PRISOY FOR BCRGLARY
Holt said the night of February 2
he was on sentry duty at the barracks
and robbed the safe, which was open,
■of $25,000. He also took a blank check,
signed the name of the chief quarter
master and secured $50,000 more.
Holt said he served a term of six
months in Winchester, England, for
burglary. He said New Year's eve,
1909, he broke in a jewelry 'store and
secured diamonds and jewelry worth
15,000.
The police doubt Holt's story and will
put no stock in it until they receive
Information from the British consul
that such a crime has been commit
ted.
Inspector Agnew said Holt claims to
have been at sea for five months and
has given no satisfactory reasons for
spending this large amount of money.
Agnew helir-ves Holt has some reasons
for returning to Australia and con
cocted the story to secure free trans
portation.

To Be Given Sat
urday Evening
BERKELEY, Oct. 7.—The final re
hearsals will be held this week for
"Sherwood," the romantic drama by
Alfred Noyes, which the English club
of the University of California will

Saturday evening.
Prof. William Dallam Armes. chair
man of the musical and dramatic com
mittee of the university, has taken
charge qf seating arrangements.
Bleachers will be erected near the Fac
ulty club. The capacity of these
however, will be less than that of the

setting. No scene shifting will be
needed, the spot selected being that
used by the Ben Greet players a few
years ago in giving "As You Like It."
Of the fanciful characters, Miss Clo
tilde Grunsky, a junior student, has
one of the most difficult, the role of
Titania. the fairy queen. Blcbard H.
Chamberlain, the sophomore leading
man, as Robin Hood has an equally
hard part.
ADMINISTRATOR IS
ACCUSED BY WIDOW
David H. Parker Admits Con
niving at Stepdaughter's
Suit to Quiet Title
OAKLAND, Oct. 7.—Mrs. Susan C.
Hart complained to Judge Ogden today
that her stepdaughter, Miss Edith G.
Hart, had all but obtained title to
property left by Mrs. Hart's husband,
the late John E. Hart. As a result of
her complaint David H. Parker, an
uncle of Miss Edith G. Hart, was sum
marily removed as administrator of the
estate and letters testamentary which
had been issued to him were revoked.
Attorney Charles E. Snook was ap
pointed In place of Parker.
Parker was cited to appear In court,
and he admitted that as administrator
he had allowed Miss Hart to take a
default judgment against him in a suit
to quiet title against her father's estate,
which she filed a month ago. Parker
said that he was served with notice
of the suit, but that he thought that a
default was only a trifling matter and
that he went to Siskiyou oounty the
day the case was set for trial. Judg
ment as then entered in favor of Miss
Hart in her action to quiet title to her
claims.
Mrs. Hart said that she lived In Ore
gon, and that while she was notified of
the death of her husband, Parker's
action was taken without her knowl
edge. Attorney Snook said that papers
which had been filed in the action be
tween Miss Hart and Parker were miss
ing from the files of the county clerk's
office and wsre not to be found in the
probate court. *
The property is located at 5420 Miles

Here Is Where We Hand
One to Ourselves
""■—■-"
The drug firm of Osgood Brothers
has been established for more than 26
year's. The original members of the
firm are still in the active management
today. The original text of a fair
deal to every buyer has continued
as the underlying principal of the
Arm—selecting the best grades of
drugs in the market and selling them
at a profit sufficient to protect both
the buyer and seller.
This modern drug business of today
Includes in our stock everything in the
way of drugs and toilet articles, suited
to the mosx "economical os well as the
most elaborate and expensive buyer.
The most discriminating tastes can be
absolutely satisfied. We buy close, dis
count our bills and make prices to suit
ourselves. We do not care what our
competitors do or how they do it; we
do as we please and allow them the
same privilege. In other words, we
mind our own business. If we want to
sell our goods below cost it isn't cost
ing anybody a cent but ourselves. We
are not a "CUT RATE DRUG STORE."
we are "OUR OWN RATE DRUG
STORE." In short, nobody sets the
pace for us; we trot In a class strictly
by ourselves. When any one tells you
we can't sell 12% cent cigars for
10 cents you can call them that short
and ugly word, for we do—any brand
you may call for. When they say we
can't sell you any brand of five cent
cigars seven for 2? cents they're the
same thing over again. Come and see.
If you don't say the St. Elmo is the
best 121-3 cent clear Havana cigar you
ever smoked, then we are one of those
short words ourselves. Yours for
"MT CITY—OAKLAND."

The Time to Stop
Your Ad Is the
Day Your Property
Is Sold!
**
If every one who had property to sell fol
lowed the plan of advertising it continuously
and peristently until it is sold, no one would
ever feel "property poor." And, while occa
sionally an ad might have to be repeated a
score or more of rfmes, the cost of it would be
but trifling compared to the advantage of find
ing the buyer to whom that particular property
would be a bargain at the price asked.
All property in or near this city is salable.
Thus the rule of advertising your property
until it is sold is a safe and prudent one. Of
course, the best time to begin is now— and, as
suggested, the only time to stop is when your
sale is made!
