CONFESSES TO JEWEL
ROBBERY OF $35,000
Police Narrowly Escape Releas
ing Prisoner, Who Feigns
Intoxication
The police of tho 11th and Hut ton wood
streets station narrowly escaped leleas
lue n man today who later confessed to a
$3,(XW lew el robbery nt Oakland, Cal. He
gave his name as John Itobcits, but it
was learned that ho had registered at a
Tenderloin hotel under the name of James
Marshall.
Itoberts was picked up lu a pawn shop
at Darlen anil Vino streets by Policeman
Hradley and Sergeant Corcoran, who were
summoned by the pawn dealer. The lat
ter became suspicious when ltobeits tried
to pawn a ling with a valuable setting of
diamonds and oaals.
On the way to the station house in the
patrol wagon Hoberts feigned Intoxication.
He gave ono valuable ring to Corcoran
and another to Uiadley. The prisoner was
fashionably dressed and well supplied
vvltli money, and at fltst tho police weie
inclined to bellcvo he was a well-to-do
man who had bten celebrating They de
elded to put him in a cell to sober up.
Special Policeman Fciris became sus
picious, however, after a talk with the
pawndealer. The special policeman spent
four hours In the cell with Itoberts.
Throughout that period the man talked
in maudlin tones nnd gave every appear
ance of being under the Influence of liquor.
Just as Ferris was about convinced that
the prisoner was all right the man broke
down and confessed.
Jewelry valued at more than $5000 Is
said to have been found in Roberts'
apartment at the hotel He told the police
that he committed the Oakland burglary
on October 10. He said he had beet,
operating for some time In that city and
San Francisco and that his method was
to bribe servants. After he made the
JBI.OW haul. Itoberts told Ferris, he
shipped roost of the stuff to this city.
From here he shipped it by express to
New York Some of the Jewelry Is said
to have been lost In transit.
Huberts disposed of many valuable
pieced of loot, he confessed, and the po
lice are now looking for the rest of It.
The man was held without ball by
Magistrate Tracy, pending the receipt of
information from the Oakland authorities.

"Loan of Victory" Gets
Strong Support in France
The "loan of victory" is being
taken in large subscriptions in
France. Many persons who had
been holding gold have released it
and put it into the loan, says Yves
Guyot, editor L'Agence Economique
et Financiere.
It is not possible to give the
exact figures of the loan, but it is
known that subscriptions are pour
ing in at the rate of 50,000,000
francs a week.
Wine production in France shows
a large deficit for 1915. This means
an increase in price and decline in
imports. The financial and busi
ness situation in France is dis
