Just before the fire in 1908 Claus
Bpreckels was in very poor health and
It was feared then that the" end was
near. His strong constitution, however,
enabled him to resist that Illness and
he regained his strength so thoroughly
that ever since the beginning of this

Bpreckels and partly by subscriptions
from San Joaquin valley farmers. After
the road hart oeen put in operauon

PRESIDENT OF NEW
ST. ANN'S SOCIETY
(United Press Leased Wire.)
San Francisco, Dec. 2.--Insyxance
and police officials are investigating a
strange burglary at the cloak and suit
house of Koenlg & Collins, on Van Ness
avenue, which was discovered early yes
terday by an employe of the store who
happened to pay a Christmas morning
visit to the place. '
The inventory, which was promptly
made, disclosed the fact that $3000
worth of the choicest goods In the place
had been removed, apparently by some-
Doay wno was perrecuy rammar witn
the stock In the store and thoroughly at
home In the place. Such an immense
amount of loot was taken that the po
lice can hardly conceive of Its having
oeen removed without tne use or an
express wagon.
The store was closed at midnight
after the big holiday rush on Christmas
eve, .and at that time everything is said
to nave been intact.
The rear portion of the store faces a
vacant lot, and it Is believed the burglars
usea this to hide their operations, xney
jimmied a rear window and then plun
dered the store at their leasure. Despite
the noise which must have been made
by falling glass and the removal of this
quantity of goods nobody has been found
who heard the thieves' at work.
Koenlg & Collins have their goods
protected by, burglary insurance, and
they stand to lose nothing. They can
throw no light on the case. The Insur
ance people are. making an independent
Investigation.
