COME IN AT CLOSING HOUR First 'Customer" Asks to See Gold Watch, Second a Compass Wol fel's Attention Diverted While Cash Is Lifted From Safe. Within four blocks of police headquar ters, two clever "sneaks" at 8 o'clock last right robbed the safe In the Jewelry store of Hugo B. Wolfel. SVA Sixth street, of $235, and escaped without the proprietor bo much as suspecting anything wrong and without leaving as a possible clew to their identity even a meager descrip tion. Thousands of dollars worth of diamonds and other Jewelry was In the safe at the time, and the fact that the thieves took nothing but the money is regarded by the police as indicating that the crimi nals are experts of the kind who refuse to take risks by carting oft anything that mlcrht be traced. Within a minute after the two men had loft the Jewelry store the proprietor dls covered his loss, as he was engaged in placing his jewels in the safe for the night when Interrupted by the thieves. Detective Sergeant Baty hurried to the scene, but Mr. Wolfel was unable to fur nish any adequate . description of tho men. Just before 8 o'clock a man entered the Wolfel store and asked to be shown a gold watch. Immediately after a sec ond man came in and requested to see a Mjmpass. This was an extraordinary clever plan, for to see the watch the pro prietor was obliged to take the first man close to the safe, and to exhibit the compass he had to take the second man to the front show-window. While wait 1ng on the man who said he wished a compass the other thief lifted the cash from the open safe, walked to the front nt the store and said he would not take the watch. He then left. Instantly the other man announced he would wait until later for the compass and left. When the proprietor resumed storing his jewels he discovered the robbery, but both criminals were out of sight. Of the muey stolen JliVO belonged to Mr. Wolfel and to S. Stein, a cutler having a small store next door to the Jewelry es tablishment, lie has been in the habit of placing various small sums in Mr. Wolfel's safe over night. Chief of Police Rritzinacher believes the thieves watched the store until they knew just when and how to commit the robbery. FORM A PERMANENT CLUB Mount Scott Improvers Decide to Knforco Pound law.

Is in Trouble Entbnxlastlcnllr PI ijlig tbe Meutli, He Impersonates Got ernment Officer Federal Grand Jury Checks lip on It. AVE you heard the story of how I I Captain Dorr F. Tozier, of life saving station No. 13, lost a $40 over coat? No? Well, the Federal grand Jury did yes terday afternoon. It is not a usual thing for Uncle Sam's grand jury to get busy about the loss of an overcoat, unless some soldier has stoleia it and some pawnbroker is arrested for buying Gov eminent property. There was nothing of this sort mixed up with the loss of Cap tain Tozier's overcoat, but he lost It just the same, and as nearly as he can find out, some ham actor is wearing it. It was not because Captain Tozier' overcoat Is missing that the grand jury got busy with the case yesterday, but because a man named J. J. Sabo, sup posed to be now a guest at Kelly's Butte. in his mad effort to become an amateur detective and earn $5 had passed himself as a secret service operator. The story is short but fufiny. One day last winter a smooth young man called at Captain Tozier's offices on the third floor of the Federal building and solicited clothes to clean. To obHge the young man, who said he was just starting in Duslness, Captain Tozier gave him coat to renovate. Captain Tozier had to make a trip to- Taquma Bay and when he came back needed his coat, so hunted up the place on Stark street and found to his dismay that the people had failed. Here is where Sabo comes in. Sabo knew Captain Tozier in Astoria because he used to serve him at a restaurant. "There's $5 in it if ybu get my coat, sam tne captain. Sabo found out that when the cleaners suspended business tUey left a number ot uncalled tor garments with M. Welser. an expressman at 303 Stark street. Once Sabo thought he had located the coat. but his pawnbroker clew failed. Then he fell upon Weiser, told him he was secret service officer and that if the coat was not forthcoming Uncle Sam would turn loose his bloodhounds. Welser at first denied having seen the coat, but it developed that he had delivered It to an actor. In fear of being arrested Weiser spent several dollars trying to locate the actor, cut the latter had gone to Denver. lesterday weiser. Captain Tozier and a few other witnesses told the grand jury about the coat and more about Sabo representing himself as a Government omcer. wnetner the grand Jury will re turn a true bill against Sabo remains to be seen.

I After years of agitation,- the Council yesterday made its first specific move to force the Snnrhcrn Tartit .J -c l V- .v. vu r uurui street Councilman Baker's resolution was reported favorable from the Judiciary committee and passed by the Council. This resolution requests City At- wl "j jii;rary to prepare an or dinance to prohibit the operation of steam locomotives and freight cars on Fourth street after 18 months from the date the measure took effect. The ordinance, which practically means revocation of the franchise, will come up before the Council at its regular meeting next Wednesday. If the Council legislates favorably on the ordinance, at the expiration of the 18 months the Southern Pacific will then have to apply to the Council to obtain a permit or franchise to operate even by electricity.

AUTOMANIA Is a new and danger ous ailment which should be en tered on the medical records, says Alfred Kemper. It has cost him his wife, Mrs. Mabel Kemper. Previous to a month ago Mrs. Kemper was a model housewife, says Kemper. Then she went auto riding a few times and seemed to become affected with a mania for this form of travel. She trimmed all her hats in long veils, talked of nothing but automoblling and culti vated the acquaintance of all the pro fessional chauffeurs in town.. From this on she had no time for household duties. Afternoons and even ings were occupied by a spin into the country with some newly-made acquaint ance. Being decidedly of good appear ance she never ran short of invitations, Kemper says. Kemper thought the ailment would wear oft, as does the measles, and waited patiently for two months without results. Meals were never ready and Kemper might as well have been a bachelor for all he ever saw of his wife. Bventually ne tola nis wife she must chance her ways. Whereupon she laughed and told him ha was very unreasonable. ine climax, a most startline one. for the wife, came yesterday forenoon. Kemper had her arrested and on the most appallng charge of vagrancy. He insisted that in doing no useful work, constantly violating his wishes, going auto riding with chance acquaintances and remaining out late o' nights, she was technically guilty of being a vag rant. Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald took the same view and the arrest en sued. Mrs. Kemper was arraigned before Mu nicipal Judge Cameron during the morn ing. Considerable interest was centered in the case, as it is without a precedent in local courts. Kemoer. for a continuance, which was granted. Later in the day he relented of his harsh conduct and asked the authorities to re lease his wife, who was crying her eyes out in one of the dirty cells usually as signed to vagrants at the City Jail. Mr. Fitzgerald thought the case should be carried through after going so far, but finally consented to waive his rights as prosecutor if Mrs. Kemper would give ample assurance of future good behavior Unless Kemper changes his mind again Judge Cameron will be asked for an or- ESCAPE OCCUPATION TAX THIRTEEN CLASSES MADE EX EMPT BY NEW ORDINANCE. Irvlngton Sewer Assessment Passes. Locomotives Must Put on Spark Arresters of Smaller Mesh. '' The Council yesterday afternoon reduced the annual Income of the city by nearly $40,000 when it passed an ordinance amending the occupation tax. There Is every reason to believe that the ordi nance -will be signed by Mayor Lane and consequently become a law. The city has been receiving about $65,000 a year through tne occupation tax. The following classifications are made exempt from the tax by the ordinance passed yesterday: Merchants, manufac turers, publishers, lawyers, physicians, surgeons, dentists, veterinary surgeons. restaurants, sawmills, boarding stables for horses, assayers, and barber shops. Ticket brokers were stricken out, as the law does not permit them to engage in business in the state. Some of those included in the classifica tions eliminated have not paid their taxes tor the two quarters of this year. The list is now being checked up by License Inspector Hutchinson. No one will be ex empt from the taxes for these two quar ters. Some have paid for the entire four quarters. The Council will authorize the license department to refund money paid for the last two quarters. Vernon Not Ready for Sewer. The Council passed the Irvington dis trict sewer assessment yesterday after noon, and the several hundred property owners who live in Vernon were afforded no relief. The City Attorney reported to the sewer committee, which recommended the ordinance to the Council, that a change In the assessment mlcrht invali date the whole proceedings. If any indi vidual suffered because of the assessment, he said, he could be granted relief from the general fund. The property-owners in Vernon allege they have no need of a sewer at the present time, and that when one is built they wish it to drain towards Columbia Slough. Several of the property-owners declare they will fight the assessment. John F. Cordray appeared before the Council and petitioned for a special per mit to use temporarily as a theater the skating rink to be erected on East Salmon street. The permit was granted readily, but now it is declared that the resolution passed by the Council will not give Mr. Cordray the authority he desires. City Attorney McXary said last night that in his opinion the Council could not by reso lution modify an ordinance. There is an ordinance which prohibits the erection of a wooden structure, such as the skating- rink will be, for theatrical purposes. It is said the city authorities have the right to prohibit Mr. Cordray from using the building. By passing an ordinance the Council can authorize Mr. Cordray to use Mrs. Kemper. ,............TT,,...I,,,. der of release for the hapless auto maniac, as Kemper calls his wife.

All you have to do is to step around to where George works, in a Front-street wholesale house, and tell him your pref erences as to color of hair, size, age, complexion and temperament. George will step to the telephone and secure you an escort for the theater, church social, automobile ride or dinner party, as you may prefer.

Unless Mr. Cordray can obtain the skating rink it is doubtful if they can appear in Portland, as none of the thea ters in the city is available for inde pendent attractions. Spark-Arresters Ordered. The Council passed an ordinance com pelling the rallroaos to equip their loco motives with spark-arresters of the type approved by the Fire Chief. B. D. Inman spoke to the Council. He said that In Brooklyn several fires had been originated recently by sparks from locomotives. The railway companies will be under consider able expense in making the change. The locomotives now carry arresters, but It is said that the mesh of the equipment is too large. The Council yesterday passed an ordi nance vacating a street in Fulton Park, in South Portland. The street is about three blocks in length. This is the first street the Council has vacated for several months. Mayor Lane protested against the wholesale distribution of the city's thoroughfares, and since then the property-owners have been less aggressive. The street vacated yesterday runs from Miles street into acreage. The abutting property is owned by the Fulton Park Land Company. KISER FOR SCENIC PHOTOS. Lobby Imperial Hotel.

Monday , evening he introduced a rural gentleman named Johnson to a stunning blond. They went to the thea ter and on the way home afterwards the stunning blond toyed with Mr. Johnson's beard with one hand and lifted his wal let with the other. It was a very un ladylike procedure, and because John son suspected Rand of sharing in the $125 taken from his- pocket, the introduc tion expert- was before Judge Cameron yesterday forenoon. Rand admitted he had erred in Introducing Johnson to so fickle a damsel, but denied having re ceived any of the money. He was fined $25 anyway. Just on suspicion. DAVID ISRAEL'S rate of commission for services In making a sale was entirely too high. Had he been reason able and charged not more than S or 10 per cent the city would not now be compelled to board him and hire uni formed persons td see that he does not change boarding places. Israel took a diamond worth $300 from the Jewelry store conducted by A. Lyon. He was to sell it to a railroad engineer, who wanted it presumably as a head light for his locomotive. For his services Israel was to receive a small commission. After making the sale he decided that his trouble was worth more than the usual 10 per cent. He figured (that he should receive at least 100 per cent of the net proceeds. Reaching this conclu sion he spent his earnings. In addition to the large commission Israel doubtless i will profit to the extent of being fed and clothed at the county's expense dur- ' FRANK L SMTH 226-228 Alder Street, Between First and Second Streets.

The Board of Trade yesterday sub mitted a communication to the Council suggesting that the street grades be changed to permit the proposed new Madison-street bridge to be higher than the present st, ucture. The Initia tive One Hundred and W. B. Chase, the Engineer, submitted similar communi cations. The letter from the Board of Trade was accompanied by a copy of a re port and a blue print of plan recommended by the special com mittee of the Board. which has been working on the project. If pos sible, it is proposed to raise the new structure nine feet moro than con templated In the charter amendment to issue bonds for $450,000 to construct the bridge, which will be voted on in June. The communications and blue print were referred to the City En gineer, who will report to the street committee of the Council Friday. A portion of the Board of Trade letter is as follows: Realizing- that time does not permit al teration of the charter amendment relative to the street grade clause bearing- on the approaches of said bridge, we beg to sug gest the remedy by officially changing the street grade so as to admit of saining the much-desired higher level for the new bridge. This we recommend! to the consideration of your honorable .body as an initial meas ure towards securing a bridge that the peo ple want, and that sound business Judgment suggests as the only means of securing rapid transit for this rapidly-growing city.
