Willis, who has been away from his wife for about two years, took his life in the Park Hotel this evening. He was found in a dying condi- tion after 4 o'clock, but was able to tell his wouid-be vescuers that he had taken laudanum with intent to commit suicide. He also had the gas turned on' to make a sure job of it. Death ensued at 9 o’clock, after every effort had been made to save the man’s life. Mr. Willis came to the hotel last night and secured a room. At noon to-day t.e Chinese servant found the door locked when he attempted to enter to make the bed. He left and did not return until iter 4 o'clock, and still the door was Jocked. He then notified the proprietor, who at once beran (o investigate and broke open the door. A towel had been placed over the transom, a blanket over the door and strips of paper wedged into ® the window to prevent the escape of gas, | which was found tutned on fuli force.

Charles H. Ellis, who was a prominent fgure at last night’s reunion of the Oak- land Guard, is the oldest militiaman in the State. He joined the old Guard in June, 1861, and has be n a leading mem- ber of it ever since that time, althoagh the ‘Acquired by a British Syndicate. OAKLAND, Car, Jan. 9.—It was re- ported to-day on what seems to be good authority that a deal is being made be- tween the owners of the Corral Hollow coal mine and railroad property and the London Exploration Company. Among the representatives in this coun- try of the London company are Henry Buttersand Captain Thomas Mein, two men who recently returned ifrom South Africa after creating considerable noto- riety by their arrest and release at the time of the Jameson raid. These two capitalists made a thorough investigation of the Corral Hollow prop- erty and reported very favorably of it, and av tuis time a contract is being considered to transfer that vast proverty, with certain rights of way for a_railroad to Oakland, property for terminals aiready acquired in Oaklind and other vainable enterprises assce ated with Corral Holiow, Tt isun- derstood that the contract to sell has been Grawn up by the local agents and sent to London for ratification. The parties most interested in this deal decline to make any statement further than that varibus substantial people have inyestigated it. Mother and Sons. OAKLAND, CaL, Jan. 9.—Mrs. Mary Miller and her two sons, Albert and Roveri, have been arrested charged with burglarizing the St. Lawrence House on Seventh street. CAPTAIN CHARLES H. ELLIS of Companys A, Fifth Regiment Guard has passed through many changes, | and is now known as Company A, Fifth Regiment. He is now the armorer of the company, and hes been in the service of the State for thirty-six consecutive years and wears more long-service medals tuan any other man in California. ‘Whaen fully decorated, the texture of the cloth of his coat is severely tried with the weight of his ornaments. From 1887 to 1895, as told by one medal with many bars, he took honors at the annual State militia shoot. Another medal was given nim by the State for twenty years’ consecutive service, and another bears the inscription, “Awarded to Charles Ellis by the State of California, for long and faithful service in the National Guard.” He also wears the badge oi a vetaran of the N. G. C., and in addition sevezal gold decorations that have been presented to him by the Guard at various siages of his long career. Ellis was persuaded to enter the Guard by the late General Kirkham in 1861, when the young men used to practice in the woods where the Courthouse now stands. At that time San Leandro was the county seat and the Guard frequently marched the nine miles between Oakland and San Leandro and back for a drill. “I bave carefully keot the records of our company,” said Capiain Bllis to-aay, “and in them is inciuded much of the his- tory of Oskland. During the whole thirty- six years not a banquet, a shoot, a rece p- tion or rollcall has taken place that 1 have not the record of. I have simply lived a life of a National Guardsman and should feel very uncomfortable out of uniform. 1 expect to wear it until I finally round m.y arms.’” At his room in the armory Captain Ellis has quite a museum of trophies which figure prominently in the history of the company. Faded photograpus of com- rades long tince dead hang around the walls and in a small chest he has posters, menu cards, ball programmes, old white gloves that have bzen used atcomrades’ funerals, obituary cards and several other trifles, each of wuich is the leading figure in some scene that transpired in connec- tion with the company during the last thirty-six years. One of the most prized pictures in Ellis’ room is that_of a departed comrade, Cor- poral Bil.y Monroe. Billy—no one ever thought of calling him anything else— was one of the best-known young men in Oakiand and a newspaper man of marked ability. His stories of the company al- ways pleased the old armorer more than anything else, and he nhas them all care- fuliy pasted in a scrapbook, and where they terminate is an obituary notic- and apair of white gloves fastened to the paze, for Billy died somewhat suddenly about four years a:zoof paralysis of the brain, leaving a young wife ana baby. Ali'these treasures are highly prized by Ellis, and as Lis memory is as good as his printed records he is a most inieresting militiaman, At the Macdonough. OAKLAND, CAL., Jan. 9.—One of the most wonderful siage novelties in years is the marvelous flying bailet, which will bs seen in C. B. Jeiferson, Klaw and Erlan- ger’s big spectacular production, “Palmer Cox's Brownies,” at the Macdonough Theater, for thraa!niglm; and Wednesday matinee, commenting Monday, January 11. The flying ballet, which was & sensa- tion for over a year at the Folies Beryvere, in Paris, was secured expressly for “The Brownies,” and it has been the talk of theater-goers wherever the gorgeous ex- travaganza has been presented. Water Sources. OAKLAND, CaL., Jan. 9.—Sanitary In- spec.or Samuel Smith has started on a tour of the watershed~ of Lake Chabot and Lake Temescal, to notify all persons liy- ing thereon aot to contaminate the sources of these reservoirs, under a Staie law, a MARY HAD A BIG DIRK She Was Prepared to Execute Judgment on Her Alleged Betrayer, OAKLAND, Cat., Jan. 9.—There was an exciting time in Justice Clift’s court this afternoon. Manuel Fonte and Attorney Joseph rushed to a place of safety and the Judge ordeted tbat the complaining wit- ness be searched. This was done and a large dirk was found concealed in her | clothing. The cace was one of betrayal and a girl named Mary Anges was the plaintiff. She had npreferred a criminal charge against Fonte. The trial was progressing when Attor- ney Joseph declined to continue tili Miss Anges was searched, At the same time the defendant, Fonte, left his chair in fear. The Judge wanted to know the ground for defendant’s fear, but Attorne; Josephs, nimself considerably perturbed, repeatea his decision not to proceed till the plaintiff was searched. The Judge granted the request, and a large dirk was taken from the irl's cloth- ing. To everybody’s surprise the girl stated in Portuguese, that she bad brought | the dirk with ner to execute justice upon Fonte if the court did not mete out the kind of justice she desired. The dirk was kept by the constable and the trial proceeded. Miss Anges was not cited for contempt. ————— Smith Broke His Left Hand. NEW YORK,N. Y., Jan.9.—A large crowd attended the boxing show of the Polo Athetic Club to-night. The chief event was the twelve-round beat between “Mysterious” Billy Smith and Con Doyle of Chicago. Doyle made a good shoving ana got a draw. Bmith announced after the fight that he broke his left hund in the third round. a Resolution Passed by the City Council. He Had Previous.y Given a Pledge Regarding-the S.me Matter to All the Merchants. 0AxLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Jan. 9. Assemblyman F. W. Leavitt has written a lgtter from Sacramento to City Clerk Tompkins, which was received to-day, concern.ng his attitude on the biil which he proposed to introduce in the Legi-la- ture if the people of Oakland desired that he should do so. In his letter he refers to a resolution passed at the last meeting of the Oakland City Council relating to the bill of which he 1s the author, Mr. Leavitt says: “It was thoroughly understood before I left Oakland that there would be no action on my part concerning such a bil, Itwas published far and wide through the news- papers, and I want to say now to the City Council of Oakland or any other organiza- tion thata resolution of this kind was en- tirely out of place and could possibly have no effect except simply 10 show the nar- row-mindness of the fellow who intro- duced the resolution, whose name, [ am sorry to say, is not attached thereto, or I would write him a personal letter giving him my views. “This matter was settled the aay before 1 left Qakland, is settled now and will be settled so far as I am concerned. I want that thoroughly and distinctly under- stood, and I am not desirous of receiving any further cominunication on that mat- ter from the Oakland Council, Wiliiam R, Davis or anybouy else.” The day beiore Mr. Leavitt left Oakland he gave a full expianation to the Board of Trade and Merchants’ Exchange of his position in the matter, which it was thought ended the incident. Some sur- prise was expressed that the matier was taken up by the City Council at its last meeting, for there was certainly no need to doubt that Mr. Leavitt wou!d keep his pledge. The lar.er portion of the water iront isin his Assembly disirict, and he told the directors of the two leading com- mercial bodies that he would be guid d by their decision in the matter, as he wished to be the representative of the district ratber than of any purely personal idea. That Mr. Leayits was not alone in the plan outlined in his bill was proven by the clear stutement made at the confer- ence by John W. Britton, general man- ager of the gas company, Who is also in- terested in a large seciion oi the water front owned by his corporation, which a few weeks ago deeded a right of way to the City through its property. There were undoubtedly many good points in Mr. Leavitt’s bill, which were admitted by nearly everwbody, but the discussion showed that at this particular time it would be inadvisable to touch upon any phase of the situation that wou.d in any way complicate the standing of the suits now in the Supreme Court. Upon this showing Assemblyman Leaviut frankly told that representative gathering that the bill would never be in- troduced, end that the matter was at an end. There was certainly no necessity for the Council to pass a resolution which implied that Mr. Leavitt might forget what transpired the previous day, and his friends in his Assembly district look on the matter in the nature of an insult. Mr. Leavitt convinced all present at the conference that his desire was simply to use all possible measures to hasten per- manent improvement on the water front, and in view of the developmentat Adams® wharves, and the great increase oi com- merce, Mr. Leavitt was certainly just.fied in his desire, and the frank manner in which he followed the suggestions of lead- ing commercial men would have been better treated by the Coancil in a resolu- tion of thanks than by one imp.yingadis- trust for which there has not been in Mr, Leavitt’s career a particle of foundation. OAKLAND ASKS FOR AID, Alameda Board of Health Will Retuse to Oppose a Dairy Biil, Miss Ruth Hebard-ds Tarown Frem H:r Horse and Badly Bruised. The Library Opened. ALAMEDA, CaArL., Jan. 9.—The Board of Health has received s letter from the Ozkland board, asking it to assist in the de- featof a certain San Francisco dafryman’s bill in the Legislature. Thebill empowers and requircs the general agent of the State Dairy Bureau to inspect all aairies and creameries in the State together with all dairy cows at least once a year, and makes provi-ion for the destruction or segrecation of deceased animals,as may be deemed neces=ary. putunder the present law we can and do kil! affl cted cattle. ‘I do mot know what action the board will take upon the request from Qaklend, but I have my doubts of its necessity. An orainance pussed recent!y by the Super- visors is all cufficient. Under its provi- sions we are as well protected from d iseased meat and miik as we wouid be under any State law."” Thrown From Her Horse. ALAMEDA, Cav, Jan. 9.—Miss Ruth Hebard, the beautiful young dauzhrer of Mr. an. Mrs. H. A. Hebard ot 1913 Park street, was thrown irom her horse and se- verely bruised about the head and limbs.

It bappened to be the oniy norse on the premises that had not been usad as a sad- dle horse, and it went along all right un- il she passed out of the }Al‘d and was on Clemeut street, back of Judge Waymire’s place. Here the animal shied and threw the gl on her bead on the stone side- walk. She was stunned somewbat, but caught her horse and walked home, her face covered with blood. She sustained a scalp wound, several scratches on the face and bruises on her lower limbs. None of them will result in scars, but will keep her from going out for several days. Library Upened. ALAMEDA, CAn, Jan. 9.—The Free Library opened its doors to-night at 6 o'clock, after being closed just a month for removal.

I will go on the stace for a few weeks and then go into moderate training for the fight. I am in good condition now, however.” SR g N The Austrians were originally the Oester Reichers or inhabitants of the Eastern Empire. Men Who Swore That He Was Drunk The Marshal Says He Takes a Drink When He Feeis Like I: and Attacks G orge Szkm dt. BERKELEY, Cav., Jan. 9.—Town Mar- stial Lioyd has made a vizorous and bitter statement of his position in the Unda case in the testimony of which it was stated that he was drunk at the time hé arrested Unda. ““Which is the most likely to be the truth, the testimony of Unda and Nelson and Mathews that I was very drunk, or tbe tes:imony of myself, Schramm, Raw- son, Devine and Teague, one of their own withe ses, I leave for decision to the peo- ple I have endeavored to serve,’” said the Marshal, I think that they will appreciate thatI have nothing in the way of friendship to expect from one or two West Berkeley whisky-sellers and not much more than hatred from those who try to sell whisky in West Berkeley.” Lioyd charged that George Schmidt, who 1s a candidate for Marshal in the coming election, has been instrumental in circulating the reports regaraing the alleged drunkenness, and said: “I have done more during my administration to eraaicate the sale of whisky in East Berke- ley and straightening out cercain whisky- sellers in West Berkeley than was done during the previgns nineteen years incor- peration of the town, and I take a drink when I feel like it, too, and I have no apology to offer to my constituents for anv of my acts.” Unda was arrestea by Lloyd for keeping his saloon open after midnight. He was acquitted of ihe charge and the Board of Trustees are considering whetuer to allow bim a license or not. New Officers Chosen. BERKELEY, CaL, Jan. 8.—Lookout Mountain Post, G.
