San Francisco, Feb. IS. Charles
Heath was taken into custody today on
suspicion of complicity In the Colonial
' club robbery, which occurred shortly
after midnight, when five masked men
' entered the rooms and held tip the six
- occupant at the point of revolvers.
They securely tied the victims hand and
. foot and relieved them of their money
'., and jewelry. They then took the club's
bank roll, amounting to 15,600, and es
caped; They secured in all about $10,000. A
few minutes after the bandits left one
, of the victims managed to release him
self and give the alarm, but the robbers
easily evaded capture by mingling with
the crowd on the streets. Heath was in
the rooms at the time of the robbery,
' but was unmolested and suspicion was
Immediately attached to him. He clalma
to know nothing of the robbers' plans,
but admits ha is acquainted with some
of tha men who did the work.
Tha men robbed are Clarence Water
house, of the racing Arm of Waterhouse
r A Burns; Joseph Schrleber, one of the
proprietors of the club; Jerry Quill, Wm.
Bngstrom, Russ Flint and John Lyons.
The midnight hour had Just rung when
a knock was heard at the door. Joseph
Harlan, the club- custodian, opened the
door and waa confronted by "Hands
tip." The order was Instantly obeyed.
.The si players were then lined up
with their faces to the wall, after which
they were bound arid placed Jn a pros
trate position, face -downward, on the
floor. Harlan was not bound, but was
kept covered. Wlren -the work of bind
ing was finished vHartanwua. overpow
ered and the key to the strong box was
taken from him. - Tha box waa quickly
rilled, after which money and valuablea
were taken from the men lying on the
floor. In addition.' to. the revolvers car
ried bv the men one of them had a bowle
knife which ha wielded in a threatening
manner, when tne .300 was completed
the electric lights wre .turned off and
the robbers rushed out . '
The theory pt tha .police Is that the
robbers are men who had often played
in the room. The captain of detectives
believes the robbery was committed' by
five young men who follow the races.
He haa Information, to that effect and
expects sensational developments ': this
evening. Heath, was at last tied along
with the other men by the robbers, but
was not searched. Be cried. put when
he saw the masked men, "I am a lob
ster; I have -nothing."
One of the robbers, replied: "I, guess
you are a dead one." Heath came down
from Nome three months ago, and-since
that time he has lost 12,800 ' In'

Much annoyance is being caused to
tha commercial Interests and press . by
the rigid refusals of Russia or Japan to
give out official news regarding losses.
Many of the, stories received are con

there have been numerous duplications
of events, making It appear as If more
battles were fought than there, really
have been, v v -'
Thercys 'no : doubt that Important
movements are going on and that the
armies have clashed, but as all lines to
the scenes of possible land 'battle are
controlled by the contending factions, It
is impossible to learn the facta ' It Is

event of the victory would- have been

Russia Is making efforts to keep peo

reverses. The true state of affairs la
not 'understood at St. Petersburg ex

population. Strenuous efforts have been
made to-keep securities at level prices.
Russia's aim, with a detached . navy,
seems to be to keep Japan busy looking

It Is a universally recognised princi

by a residence in that precinct .

plainly in pursuance of a preconcerted
plan, and all the circumstances point to
Sheriff Storey as the one responsible for
it The prisoners are In his sole cus
tody and the Jailer would not venture
to allow them to leave the Jail without
