Before I let you off with a -measures to preserve law and order In A- year's cruise around the world will save sixteen-year-old Thomas Connelley of Berkeley from a term of a greater in the reforrn scliobl. He was arraigned before Superior J.udge Melvln this morning for having stolen diamond ring from Mrs. En- zensterger of 3104 Grove street, Berkeley. Young Connelley was in the employ of a Berkeley vegetable store and when he took an order of goods to the Enzeneterger home, he walked in and. placed them on the table In the kitchen.

Mrs. Enzensterger had him wait a moment while she went to another room for the money. Connelley slipped the diamond ring from an fine, of 15, but I find that It was not sufficient penalty. You have since, then used methods to produce teflfr oi; the part of the empires of the Troy Laundry by assaulting them. I come such that the local civil authorities were unable to cope wlith it, I should not hesitate a moment to take the necessary steps, by the power in-vested in me as Governor, to see that peace was preserved and the safety of life and property insured." WOULD ACT PROMPTLY.

"I would first have to be satisfied, however, that the authorities of San Franicsco were powerless. I do not know that I should wait for them to report to me that they could not control affairs there, but I would have to be thoroughly satisfied Jtom my own investigations that such was the case before I would take any radical action. But, as I say, I am very hopeful that there will be no violence. In fact, from the conduct of all parties to the controversy so far, I see no reason for apprehension (tri this score. "I 'will rejnaln in Southern California several days, perhaps, but wherever I am, I shall keep close watch on the situation in the north." feied and told where the Jewel could be found In an artichoke box at the vegetable store.

The ring was recovered and Connelley was held over to the Superior court for grand larceny, i Attorney John E. McElroy and Deputy District Attorney Phil Carey pleaded in the youth's behalf and said that a vessel was at out to make a trip around the world and that the captain was willing to use the boy as a cabin boy on the ship. With his mother's censent and the order of the court, the young fellow will be placed aboard the ship on May 10. Mrs. Connelley was In the court room this morning.

Who. will be detectives under the new captain is also a question of interest among the police.

Four patrolmen have been trying out for the positions for about six months, but the Commissioners have failed to name any one. The detectives work much longer than a patrolman--and those who are being -tried out are receiving patrolmen's pay, while a regular detective gets $125 a month, an increase of $25.
