Although a Paddle Wheel May Have Caused the Injuries There Is Much to Offset This Theory. Oakland Office San Francjsco Call, | %8 Broadway, April 18, An autopsy was held this afternoon on the remains of the man picked up from the bay off the Oakland mole yesterday. It is the opinion of the doctors and Coro- ner Mehrmann that all the wounds found on the body were ante-morten, although | this does not necessarlly mean that a murder or even a suicide has been com- mitted | “The death of this man is somewhat mysterious,”” sald Coroner Mehrm; | . in which everybody heart's content.

Had man been drowned he would not have been on the surface so soon after death and this helps the theory that he was dead when he put into the water, There are no signs of asphyxiation and | death was certainly not caused by drown- | ing. It is ible, however, that all the | wounds were caused at the same time and may h been done by a paddle | wheel or a propelier, or both.

STANFORD MEN RAID BERKELEY her father, | | THE CAPTURED AX SOUGHT, BUT NOT FOUND. Ineffectual Attempt Made to Recover the Mascot of the Palo Altans. 2 BERKELEY, April 18—At o'clock last night, after carefully preventing all means of detectlon, sixty Stanford stu- dents made their first raid by creeping stealthily into the university town In a deliberate attempt to recapture their stolen ax by force. The attempt failed. The Stanford men left Palo Alto secret- 1y yesterday afternoon and came up to San Francisco. They neld a hurried meet- ing at the Ramona Hotel on Ellis street to_lay their plans. Coming over to Oakland they remained in hiding until midnight and then proceed- o a point of rendezvous near the university campus. Having heard that the ax was laced: for safety in the hands of Charlle Pringle, one of Berkeley's last vear foot- ball stars, they completed thelr plans for raiding his house. Pringle is a member of the Chi Phi fraternity, which has its chapter hall at 2222 Bancroft way. Only six men stayed in the Chi Phihouse last night and these were sleeping sound- ly when the raid began. Mark Chese- brough occupled a room on the second floor, Pringle one on the third. A sharp up at the door awakened Chesebrough To the question as to whether Pringle were in or not Chesebrough replied in the neg- ative, Upon receiving this answer a squad of Stanford men burst open the front door. They made their way to Pringle’s room, awakened him and de- manded the stolen trophy. It was re- The Chi Phi men at first thought ance but realizing the useless such overwhelming to seelng their house submitted sacked Chesebrough a window into the back yard. ran mpted to jump from He faced a strong guard of Stanford men and crawled back. Failing in this attempt to raise an alarm he tried to get help from the outside by means of telephone. But the wires had all been cut by the raiders, S0 this means failed. Half of the attacking party entered the house and began a thorough search. Wardrobes, cupboards, trunks, bureaus every imaginable place in which the ax might have been hid was torn open and at its contents spread about in all sorts of confusion. A few private boxes, contain- ing the fraternity secrets and mystic paraphernalia, were left undisturbed, the fraternity men giving their word of honor that the monster blade was not concealed in them. Once Stanf: F during the search two or three ord men came very near the ax; in fact, passed right by the place where it smained concealed. he search proved fruitless. After over an hour of probing and delving into all ble hiding places the Stanford men up the hunt. telegram was A ford to-day Franklin stating that unless some guar- antee could be given that the ax would be kept out of sight during the field day next Stan- E received from by Track Manager aturday the event would be declared off.

He eulogized the men for the splendid work they did in the late war. In glowing words_ he described their chani‘a up the San Juan Hill amid shot and shell. Dr. Anderson, the pastor of the church, welcomed the boys in blue in behalf of his church. e begged the men to re- main away from & moonlight picnic that was to be given in their honor, as he feared they m]fiht spoll thelr good re ord. Mrs. W. B. Poweel and Miss Bea- trice Harris rendered a few songs and Jessie Haley recited, as did Ed Pruett. Sergeam Major Green of the Twenty- fourth Regiment was then introduced and told at Jength the experiences encoun- tered by the men during the Cuban cam- paign. He concluded with a description of the battle in which the colored troops made their fine record. Sergeant Frank lin of Company E concluded the enter- tainment by some personal recollections of the flght. His account was replete with humor and created a great deal of merriment. The guests, headed by their band, marched to the basement and were refreshed with good things. L ———————— Servians Congratulate Nikola.

P., last evening | might have been comfortably accommo- dated. young Paulist missionary, and the fact that he appeared for the benefit of St. { John’s Church, of which Father Brady is pastor, resulted in filling the hall to over- flowing. Preceding the lecture Miss Etta Welsh, J. C. McDonnell, Miss Annie Rooney and J. Gildea were heard In songs and their efforts were appreciated by the audience. At the conclusion of the musical pro. gramme, Chairman P. J. Curtis intro- | | duced Father MacCorry to his audience | and he was warmly greeted. The speaker | chose as his subject, “The Unit in Crea- tion's Plan; a Plea for Light, for Liberty | and Independence.’ He handled his theme in an able manner and for nearly | The popularity of the eloquent} an hour entertained his listeners with his | views. In part he said: | As individuals In this world we are frag- | ments. God makes the human race in atoms | and then them togeth ith a master hand gradually fits | r until they constitute, as it were a single unit, wonderfully harmonious and amazingly made. Our deficlts and sur- pluses of character are given wheels in the | reat established mechanism. What I lack you make up, what you lack I supply. One man has the patience, another the courage, the third the tranquillity and the fourth the zeal That which Is lacking in one is made up by another or else made up by all. Each, | | too, has his work to do—his duty to perform and each in his own pecullar way. I have no more right to blame a man for being different from me or from doing things in another way from mine, than a ariving | wheel has the Tight to blame the axie that holds it to the center, just because the axle is differently m: Moreover I can not ac- | complieh your work or you mine.

The difficulty s we are never satisfled with the work which God has Eiven us to do. In a pathetic little way we strive to defeat his plans. The speaker illustrated his meaning with a few apt simile: nd then went on | to show what a magnificent thing it is to | be a unit, to feel that you are one, a per- sonality; an individual; to be something | of an investigator, something of a rea- soner for yourself.

'FATHER PROSECUTED BY TWO DAUGHTERS | Court frequenters witnessed the unusual | scene yvesterday of two daughters taking | the stand and lending their assistance in | an effort to hang their father. It was in | the case of Joseph Clark, on trial for the | murder of Joseph Cross, that this unusual | s was enacted, and it furnished food | for unlimited comment, as did the actions | of the prisoner’s wife in alding the Dis-| trict Attorney during the examination of | witnesses. Doubtless the young women took the tand with the sole Intention of telling the | truth, but it was only after consultation ' | with 'the prosecution, and the fact that [ | they intended to tell the truth and did so | 0 | did not protect them from criticism, as it was their father they were attempting to send to the gallows or prison. Lottie Clark was first called to the stand by the prosecution, and stated that she was employed as cashier in a Market- street restaurant. She then stated that | | when her family moved to its present home Joseph Gross was taken into the | house as a boarder in order to increase | the family revenue. She said she had not | visited her father since his arrest, as she | did not believe he wanted to see her. Her | sister then took the stand, and, to the surprise of the prosecution, although she had been called to aid in securing a con- | viction, said that when Gross went to live in thelr mother’s house her father refused | to live there and moved away. She also | said that she had not called on her father, | as she belleved he did not want to see her. She passed her father several fimes on the street, she said, and he did not speak, and once when she boarded a car she found him seated on the dummy, but he immediately got off the car. Her statement that Clarke refused to live in the house after %iross went there to live materially assisted the defense, as it wished to establish beyond the perad- venture of a doubt that Gross did live in the house with Mrs. Clark, and it was left with this witness for the prosecution to establish this fact. ‘When M Clark left the stand other witnesses testified to minor details, after which the case went over until this morn- ing for argument. When court adjourned two women, who posed as_ palmists, ap- proached the prisoner and gained per- mission to examine his hand. The ladies examined his hand at length and then sald that his was 1ot the hand of a crimi- nal, that it manifested great love of home but great jealousy. They comment- ed at length on- the fact that the hand was not that of a criminal, and Clark then turned away and with a weary smile playing about his mouth, said: “If they were the Judges 1 would doubtless be ac- quitted instantly; but they are not.” The interested crowd that had watched the reading of the prisoner's hand then filed out of court and Clark was returned | to his cell to grieve over the “affection’ | shown him by his family | S e e Contest for a Child. Application was made yesterday in the Probate Court by the Eureka Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children for the custody of Ida Aubray, the infant daughter of Mrs. Edna Aubray, who was ted a few weeks ago for vagrancy, dismi d by Judge Conlan after telling her story. Mrs. Aubray married against the will | of her father, Captain Van Pelt of the ferry-boat Ukiah. Shortly after her mar- riage Mrs. Aubray separated from her husband and wert to live on Turk street. Recently the young mother was arrested for vagrancy to prevent, it is said, a pos- sible reconciliation with her husband; but Judge Conlan promptly dismissed the ac- tion. Now the Eureka Society seeks to take the child from its mother’s arms, but there will be a lively contest for the baby’s possession. —_— e ———— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE., SAILED. Tuesday, April 18.

DEL MONTE, April 18.—The twenty- ninth annual meeting of the Medical So- ciety of the State of California was called to order in the ballroom of the Hotel Del Monte at 10 o'clock this morning. The address of weicome was delivered by Dr. Harry M. Sherman of San Francisco, and ‘was followed by the address of the presi- dent, Dr. Willlam Watt Kerr of San Francisco. The society then adjourned until 2:30 p. m. At the afternoon session Dr. H. E. San-| derson read a paper entitled “The Toxic Basis of Insanity.” He was quite of the opinion that many if not most cases of insanity are due to polsons generated in the body and affecting the structure of the brain as well as other organs. He thought many advances would be made in the treatment of insanity in the next few years. Dr. Leo Newmark read a paper entitled ““‘Obsessions,” which dealt with 2 form of pgcgnu mental affection occasionally met with. Dr. George L. Cole presented a paper on the subject of the “Diagnosis and Modern Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis.” He sald that consumption®was such a very prevalent disease that tts discussion should always be in order, though noth- ing new were said. He had tried tubercu- lin serum in a number of cases with some excellent results. He had also used the serum treatment in some cases of erysip- elas and pneumonia, and thought the treatment valuable. Dr. Herbert Moffitt discussed the paper of Dr. Cole, as did Drs. J. Henry Barbot and Philip Mills Jones. Dr. Jones and Dr. Barbot sald that they had found that consumption could be easily diagnozed by means of the X rays. Dr. Jones had used them also as a meth6d of treatment in three cases, all of which improved. case of tuberculosis of the skin, or lupu was cured by the X ra Dr. Barbot he had watcned th ases of consump- y were cured. read during the day were s follow Typhoid fever, With Death n One eck,” by Dr. Willlam Fitch Cheney; “Stomach Versus Heart,” by Dr. W.

Dr. Chismore has attracted attention from all parts of the world to this instru- ment, and' its improvement now an- nounced will doubtless attract still fur- ther attention to Dr. Chismore and San Francisco.
