SE COOK O xO%O%® CHIN THRENTENS TO POISON A BABY Being Dismissd He | Seeks Revenge. | ALAMEDA, July 31L—Mrs. | Chambers of 1828 Clinton avenue has re- ceived anonymous threats through the mail that unless she dismisses her Japa- nese servant he will be shot and the milk used by her baby will be poisoned. The threatening missive hears the Oakland postmark and is supposed to be the work of a Chinaman named Kay, or a Japanese who covets the position now held by Mrs. Chamber: Ah Kay worked in the Chambers house- hold up to last Wednesday, when he was summarily dismissed. He was indignant at_being discharged and muttered some- thing to the effect that Mrs. Chambers would be sorry. The following Friday Mrs. Chambers received the annexed let- ter: Mrs. Chamber: Me vou no lik sen my fren go. Kay. No Ik oposite house Jappee, make you my fren go. You see him, 1 kill him, poison baby milk every . Me no care other girl other Jappec. HIBINDAS LEE. Mrs. Chambers took the letter to the ! Chinese cook at the home of Mrs. Peter White, her aunt, who had recommended Kay. He insisted that Kay had no knowl- edge of English, and that as far as high- binders were concerned he claimed that he was “bc of one of the tongs and he would take it upon himself to see that no harm was done the Chambers family from that source. Mr. Chambers, who is secretary of Glad- ding, McBean & Co. of San Francisco, was not at home when the letter was re- celved and did not arrive until Saturday. He at once reported the matter to the po- lice, and every precaution has been taken ) prevent his threat into effect. —————— PRIVILEGES ABUSED. | Well-to-Do Residents of Alameda Insist Upon Free Vaccination. | ALAMEDA, July 3L—Health Officer L. { W. Stidham is authority for the assertion | that the well-to-do people and society lights of Alameda have been systemati- cally abusing the free vaccination privi- leges. The Board of Health intended the privilege for those who were financially unable to have their children compiy with | the school restrictions requiring vacein tion. Blanks were printed for the siga tures of the applicants setting forth that George R. China frien. Me | the parent was unable to pay a physi- | cian. Dr. Stidham says that some of the so- ciety leaders of the city have applied for these blinks, signed them without compunction and sent their children with them to the Health Office. Ladies dresced in silks and bedecked with diamonds have applied to Dr. Stidham to vaccinate their children free of charge, asserting without | a blush that they were too poor to pay for the operation. The Board of Health will take action to prevent the abuse of the free vaccination privilege in future. — e ——— DR. MONTAGUE ARRIVES. BERKELEY, 31.—Dr. William P. Montague who | has been elected as instructor in the de- | partment of philosophy in the University of Callfornia, has arrived from the East, and is making preparations for the work | of the coming term. Dr. Willlam Montague is a Harvard man, and he is leaving the big Eastern university to come to the Pacific Coast. For some years he has been an instructor under Professor William James, the psy- chologist, who visited Berkeley last year. | He is regarded by Professor James as | one of the most promising scholars among the vounger men in philosophy. Dr. Montague was chosen by the Board of Regents to succeed Dr. E. B. McGil- vary, who has recently gone ta Cornell University to take charge of the chair of | philosophy there. During the absence of Professor. Harrison in Europe, Dr. Mon- tague will occupy his residence on Ban- croft way. e Will Sue for Wife's Property. OAKLAND, July 31.—Judge Greene to- day appointed William O’Connell guardian of the person and estate of his wife, Jo- hanna ©O'Connell, who was released on parole from Agnews Insane Asylum re- cently. The guardian’s bond is fixed at $250. It is understood to be the purpose of the guardian to file suit for the recovery of property on Peralta street valued at $000 which Mrs. O'Connell deeded to her niece, Miss Julia Barry, several years ago, the deed for whick, however, was not recorded until a few days after Mrs. O’Connell'’s commitment to the asylum.
