THEFT OF PICTURE
UNSOLVED PUZZLE
"Indian Girl" Taken Because
of Beauty, Theory of
Dealers in Art
The mysterious disappeara.no© of the
painting entitled "The Indian Girl,"
by Mrs. Alice Coutts, from the art
galleries of Rabjohn & Morcom, 240
Post street, yesterday, is still puz
zling Mrs. Coutts. the art dealers and
the police. No clew has yet been found
to the thief, but it is the belief of the
firm that the picture was stolen on
account of its dainty beauty rather
than its value. The painting was
listed at SB5.
One of the proprietors said that he
hung the picture in the morning.
Later in the day he noticed that it
was gone, but supposed one of the
clerks hail taken it down to show to
a Customer. It was not until an hour
later, when he noticed that the pic
ture was still missing, that he found,
upon investigation, it had been stolen.
The screw by which it was hung had
been Jerked -<rom the wall.
Color is lejit to the theory that the
picture was stolen by some one who
particularly admired it by the fact
that adjoining It were several paint
ings of much higher value, including
canvases by William Keith.
"The Indian Girl" was a small can
vas, only six by eight inches, and
easily concealed. It is in Mrs. Coutts'
best style, being an exquisitely
dainty work.
Mrs. Coutts and her husband, Gor
don Coutts, who is also an artist, re
turned recently from Europe, where
they were studying and working.
They live at 406 Pacific avenue, Oak
land.

for the ceremonies.
"I am almost as proud of Spratts
as I am of my children.' - said Mrs.
Gross, owner of the intelligent ani

that in his dog language. I hope to

JAIL AS 6
LOOK ON
Officers Baffled by Escape of
County Prisoner; Auto in
Waiting Outside Fence
With the aid of a confederate in an
auto, John Resinger foiled six guards
and escaped from the county jail to
day. The tooting of an auto horn
outside the prison yard gave the alarm
after he had eluded the watchers. He
is believed to have fled In the ma

High Property Cost
Stops Ry. Extensions
An extension of commutation privi
leges between Oakland and San Fran
cisco by tbe Oakland, Antloch and
Eastern railway was taken up last
night by the Oakland Merchants' ex.
change committee appointed to con
fer with the railway officials. The
high valuations of property necessary
to extend the lines originally agreed
to within six blocks of the Oakland
city hall has made such an extension
impossible, and it is said that no ar
rangement by which either a direct
right of way or track privilege to a
commutation point can be obtained is
possible without prohibitive cost.

PAVEMENT TANGO
IS S.F.'S LATEST
Street Dances, Fathered by
Supervisors, to Make Debut
in Clement Tonight
The pavement tango will soon be
as famous as many another dance
which had its birth in San Francisco,
and, like the others, its birthplace
will be the pleasure loving city of the
Golden Gate. Sponsored by the board
of supervisors and encouraged by the
city with municipal orchestras sup
plying the inspiration, the pavement
tango and street dancing will be made
a reality here tonight in Clement
street, when the holiday festival opens
there. It will be repeated Saturday
night at Mission and Twenty-fifth
streets, and the biggest dance of all
will be held Xew Year's eve in Grant
avenue.
Street dancing is to be made an in
stitution in San Francisco, like -our
fogs, and coming with equal fre
quency.
"There is no doubt that the public
will eagerly avail itself of the oppor
tunity to take part in these street
dances." said Supervisor J- Bmmett
Ilayden, who suggested the pavement
dances. "Since the dance halls were
closed on the Barbary Coast there
have been frequent assertions made
that there is a lack of dancing places.
These street dances, supervised by the
police, will fill this, demand admir
ably."
The plan of the supervisors is to
make San Francisco unique among
American cities for her outdoor life
and gayeties.

BIG OIL FIRE
IS FINALLY
CHECKED
Battle Against Flames Ends
at 6 This Morning; Loss
Totals $200,000
After almost destroying 1 the plant
of the Pacific States OU refinery at
the foot of Frultvale avenue, East
Oakland, the Are that raged there
nearly all day yesterday and all of
last night was extinguished at 6
o'clock this morning. The damage is
estimated by Superintendent James
Halloran at approximately $200,000.
The firemen worked all night In
the face of great danger, their chief
efforts being devoted to trying to
prevent the flames from spreading to
a 45,000 gallon tank of benzine. Sev
eral times the tank caught fire, but
the flames were automatically ex
tinguished by the gases rising from
the tank, benzine not exploding un
less mixed with a cetrain percentage
of air.
A great crowd assembled to watch
the fight with the flames, being at
tracted by the glare and the dense
cloud of smoke that hung over the
city. So big was the throng and so
closely did it press in on the Are
lighters that the mounted police had
to be called out, it being feared that
the big tank would explode and kill
hundreds.
The plant contained 20 big and 40
small tanks. Twelve of the small
ones, about half the warehouse sup
ply of asphalt and the engine room
were saved; everything else was
burned.
President William Lange said this
morning that he did not know
whether or not the company would
rebuild, but believed it would. He
did not know the amount of insur
ance.

BANDITS RIDE IN
AUTO WITH VICTIM
Chauffeur Says Customers
Tied Him to Park Bench
and Threatened Death
John Glover, an automobile driver
for William Haines. 1713 Haig-ht
street, who lives at 97 Barannun ave
nue, told a strangre story to Policeman
Quigley on the water front early this
morning about how he had been
gagged by two patrons of his ma
chine, tied to a park bench and then
compelled to drive the men back to
town at the point of two revolvers.
Glover says the two men, who were
well dressed and appeared to have an
air of refinement about them, hired
him at the ferry building at 10 o'clock
last night. After driving the two
about the downtown streets for
two hours, they told him to speed for
Eighth avenue and Fulton street.
When they reached that corner they
ordered him to go into the main drive
way near that place.
When Glover stropped his machine
the men gagged him with the chauf
feur's own glove. Marching him
from the machine, the two men at
the point of a- revolver compelled
Glover to sit on a park bench while
they tied him. The trio were sitting
on the bench, Glover says, when a
policeman hove in sight and ordered
them to move the machine off the
middle of the driveway.
The two men shoved the machine
to one side and Glover says the po
liceman walked away.
As soon as the officer was out of
sight. Glover alleges, one of the men
said: "This spoils our $6,000 Job."
According to Glover, the two men
waited on the bench for half an hour,
then untied him, and ordered him to
drive back to the city.
He says one of the men held a re
volver to his side, warning him that
an outcry meant instant death. Ar
riving at the Ferry bulldin, the two
men jumped out and disappeared.
Detectives Maloney and De la Guer
ra are working on the case.

JUNIOR REPUBLIC
HEAD DISMISSED
William R. George Ousted
After Charges of Loose Liv
ing Are Sustained
By Associated Preaa.
NKW YORK, Dec. 18.—Removal of
William R. George from active par
ticipation in the affairs of the George
Junior Republic at Freevllle, N. V.,
founded by him more than 10 years
ago, is recommended by the State
Board of Gharitles in- a report made
public today.
More than 50 witnesses in six states
were examined with regard to
charges of loose living made against
George by three young women, for
mer members of the republic. These
charges dated back to 1904. The
testimony was unprintable.
The board adopted resolutions rec
ommending that no more girls be
received at the republic and that
those now there be speedily removed
to other institutions.
Of George's conduct the report says
In part:
"In view of certain confessions and
statements regarding his exercise of
hypnotic influence on the citizens of
the republic, and his admissions of
lapses of memory, his presence in the
institution is clearly undesirable."
