THE LIFE OF HIS SISTER Little Freda Dederky’s Clothing Catch‘esi Fire and Her Brother After Desperate gypan General Honored -Exertion Smothers the Flames With Sand| Guestata New York LAMEDA, July 6.—With rare pres- ence of mind in a moment of im- pending danger, Otto Dederky, 6 years old, saved the life of his older sister Freda on Friday evening. Tongues of fire were fast licking up her dress, when he shouted to her to throw herself cn the ground. He then heaped sand on her butrning clothing and smothered the fire. Unaided in the work, he fought desperately, and finally con- quered. His hands were so severely scorched by the heat that they had to be dressed by a physician.” His burns were much more painful and extensive than those of the sister whose life he saved. The brother £nd sister and a companion named Willie Schultis were playing in the street opposite the Dederky home, at 1708 Eagle avenue, when the accident oc- curred. They had made a merry blaze out of & lot of exploded fireworks gathered from the street. Freda did not notice her roximity to the flames and the back of Eer dress caught fire. The dress was of .WWH'HMH—H‘!—H%PHWH‘%H. | gity of California,” said Regent S. C. Irving. “In the world of letters, in the college world, who did not know Profes- sor Le Conte? He was a great big human man. “Know him! Of course I knew him. I knew him and loved him for four years as a student. All the students loved him always. He was the one professor who never forgot a student. If you had once studled under him, if you had once been in one of his classes, he would never for- get ycu. A man, let him battle with the world for as many years as he might, cowld always be sure that there was one man in his alma mater who had not, who would not forget him. Let him go back to Berkeley ever so many years after- ward, Professor Le Conte would meet and greet him as one who had left the classic ghades but a day before. It was a quality none of the mg:er professors seemed to have. Professor Le Conte could and did come out of his shell. Let/ the others Wrap their learning about them as they would, he was never too learned to be a man—and he was most learned. “To the student body, to the old grad- uates, to the faculty, to the university jtself his is the ope loss that will be al- most irreparable. Let me tell you an in- cident that occurred at one of the meet- ings of the Board of Regents not long ago. It was my good fortune, you know, to have known Professor Le Conte as a student, as a man, as one of the Board of Regents. It was suggested at that meet- ere had been some vague out- the removal of Le side rumors ‘about Conte. ““What!" sald President Wheeler. ‘Re-4 move Le Cogte! Why, Joe Le Conte is the University of California.’ “And that was true. Professor Le Conte had been connected with the university ever gince the early seventies, when the California College was merged into the university. He was the companion of the strong and the shield of the weak. And the man In the college, be he professor or student, who felt his place shaky knew that he could always find shelter behind the rugged strength of Joseph Le Conte. “He was the one man, almost the only man, of really world-wide fame at Berke- ley. There are other famous men there. There are many men whose fame is more than American. But, go where you would, there were men who had heard of Joseph Le Conte. In the Old World, in Aus- tralia, at the East, if the conversation turned upon college affairs, some college man would ask your college, and if you anncunced that you were from the Uni- versity of California, he would as cer- tainly say: °‘Oh, yes; that is where Joseph Le Conte teaches.” “Professor Le Conte stamped his indi- viduality upon the University of Califor- nia. Gentle, lovable, never s un- kindly to a human being, and never doing injury to any of God's creatures, he was the man of all others who will be most missed from the walks and halls of Berke- ley. “His place cannot be filled. No lving man can fill it. As tq his successor, it is yet too early to talk of that.

HIS LOSS IRREPARABLE TO EDUCATIONAL WORLD Lieutenant Governor Neff Adds His Tribute to Memory of the Dead Teacher. ““The loss of Professor Joseph Le Conte is one that is well-nigh irreparable to the University of California,” said Lieu- tenant Governor Neff last night. “I am sorry that I had so little personal ac- quaintance with Professor Le Conte. I would like to be able to say from actual personal knowledge of the man some of those kind things that are due to his fame. The students have lost a lovable teacher and the State a great and noble man. His death, little as I knew him, came upon me to-night as a great shock. He was known wherever the University of California was known and hé was be- loved by all who knew him—a man of the noblest sort. “No, there has been no talk of a suc- cessor to him. There could not be yet, even if a man could be found who could take his place. It is too soon to talk of that, The Board of Regents will hold a special meeting on Wednesday or Thurs- day of next week, probably, to take ac- tion relative to his death.” ‘Water Front Notes.

Distinguished Visitor Gives Thanks to Uncle Sam for Aid. NEW [YORK, July 6.—W. E. Stokes gave a dinner at the Union League Club to- | night to General Maximo Gomez and Gen- ! eral Estrada Palma. Stokes was formerly | a member of the Cuban League of Amer- ica and was vclosely identified with the i work of the junta of which General Paima was the head. The dinner was arranged on the spur of the moment. General | Gomez intended to return to Cuba to-day, | | and decided to remain until the morning | { when he accepted Stokes’ invitation, and | the guests were summoned by telegrazh. | The Cuban general was the hero of the | occasion -and was warmly received. He {made a brief speech, which was inter- | preted by General Gonzales. General Gomez said he was almost touched to tears by the remarkable recep- tion he had recelved in the United States. He knew Cuba was indebted to the United | States, but he never knew until he came | | here how deep that debt was—that it was | i not merely the obligation of one country | to another, but of brother to brother. Every Cuban born and bred, he said, | lived and died with the idea of Cuba libre | Dbefore him, with the hove of the people being free and relieved of the yoke of op- | pression. ‘Want to Feel Freedom. Cuba and the United States, said the general, belong together. It is only a | question of gravitation when they will be one. But at present, after the great strug- i gle in which nundreds of thousands of | lives were sacrificed and when men re- | turned to_their homes only to find their {vives and children starved to death in | the restricted barriers in which Weyler | held them under his policy of reconcen- | | tration, they felt that théy must have | Cuba ljbre. It is realized fully. He said that Cuba cannot get along without the United States, but the Cubans want to feel freedom. After the dinner General Gomez said to the newspaper men that he wished to ex- press his gratitude to the press of the United States and of the world for the | great good they had done to the cause of Cuba libre. He sald that when he came here years ago he was very sad, but that | on this visit he was very happy, and was | glad to recognize how much the American | people had done for the Cubans. He felt a bond of sympathy with the American nation when he first mingled with its peo- ple, but he now felt much more strongly the reality of that bond. He was sure that the Cubans were now established in their own government, and would show the | gratitude they feel for the help of the Americans in removing the Spanish yoke. Palma for the Presidency. “Is there any feeling of apprehension in Cuba with regard to the intentions of the United States?” he was asked. “No, there is no question about it,” he replied. ‘“Cuba trusts implicitly in the honor of the American people.” “What can you say as to the future pelicy of Cuba?” “That cannot be answered,” replied General Gomez, ‘‘because no one can fore- see the future: but I believe that the at- titude of Cuba will be one of gratitude in accordance with the obligations of Cuba to the United States.” “Whom do _you think will be the Presi- dent of the Cuban republic?” “I_do not know, but I hope that it will be General Palma.” “No, no,” said General Palma; for the Cuban people to say.” “Well, there are three candidates,” said Gereral Gomez, “or, rather, three persons | named—myself, General Bartolomeo Mas- so and General Palma. under any circumstances. General Palma was elected during the ten years’ war and 1 hope that he will be elected again.” e e e e e e s ! PUPE CONDEMNS 1 FREACH L Legislation Against Con- gregations Causes Criticism. ROME, July 6.—The Pope has sent a lot- | ter to the superiors and generals of the religious orders and institutions, con- demning ‘the French legislation against congregations. The letter says his Holiness is much af- flicted at the gravity of the offenses com- mitted by some nations against the re- ligious orders and institutions. The church has thus not only been deeply injured in its rights, but its power of action has been impaired. The Pope severely reproves the recent enactment of these laws by a country to- ward which the Pope has exhibited par- that are suffering from the hatred of oth- ers toward the church. He urges them to redouble thelr ardor, faith, prayer and good works, to imitate the examples of the beioved founders of their orders and to repeat with Christ the sublime words, | “Father, forgive them.’ The letter concludes: “Console your- selves in God. The Pope and the whole Catholic world are with you.” oD KEEPOUT THE AUTOMOBILE San Mateo Supervisors Regard It With Fear. REDWOOD CITY, July 6.—The Board of Supervisors of San Mateo County will probably at its next meeting pass a strict ordinance regulating the running of auto- mobiles upon the county roads. Super- visor Coleman of San Mateo, at a meeting of the board, said that the machines were ‘becoming so numerous and their operators 80 reckless that driving al the roads was becoming a hazardous recreation. He desired a limit to the s, of an automo- bile on mountain roads so slow as to make the ride unattractive. After considerable discussion the board finally determined that the following reg- ulations should be incorporated in an or- dinance: Automobiles must be operated only by those who possess a certificate attesting their competency, the examina- tion to be made by a board of examiners to be appointed; on approaching a team the automobile must turn to the side of the road and come to a stop, and no noise, such as allowing steam to escape or clanging of gongs, shall be permitted while the team is passing. A speed limit of probably six miles an hour will be in- lsted upon. Taking it all in all, the outlook for the automobilists in San Mateo County is not encouraging. ‘Bullet Kills PHOENIX, Ariz., July 6.—News reached here to-day of a fatal duel between Ra- en. horancipedionre techulealibe s’ i |t B oath G Mo VIgt St G understood it was a ha.ndear."?Clg:'.llné Jose Guereno, a ) 'l‘l“ :‘x’:l.

The schooner Western Home put back to port in distress yesterday. Her rudder head is gone, part of her centerboard car- ried away and the stern considerably damaged. She left here on July 4 for Coos Bay. When an offing was made she ran into a strong head wind and was driven back. A fog came down yesterday morning_and soon after the Western Home drifted close to Duxbury Reef. An attempt was made to go about, but the schooner would not answer her helm and went stern first on the reef. A passing gasoline schooner brought the news to the city and the tug Ida W was sent to the Western Home's assistance. She was got off after some clever maneuvering and towed back to port. The schooner is not leaking, but she will have to go on the drydock for an overhauling. LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVED, Saturday, July 6. Stmr Noyo. Johnson, 25 hours from Lompoc.

John Lennox. a Los Angeles man, is the haro of the s He is at least the pres- ent owner of a sister’s hoarded gold. For four years prior to the night of July 4 Mizs Mgry Lennox lived in a tiny cottage on the avenue. It was a place that stood well apart from other houses. The woman was a wanderer on the face of the earth and reputed to be a great traveler. She had lived everywhere, she said. She had not lived on the avenue iong before her neighbors discovered curious things. She never, under any circumstances, used a light at night and she was subject to fits of the most terrible agony. The old lady was 60 years of age and had no visible means of support. Where her money came from no one knew; yet she was a rich woman. A few days be- fore the Fourth she became deathly sick and her brother, John Lennox, was sent for at midnight, as she seemed to be dying. “Won’t it be terrible if she dies with. out telling where her money is?” said some one at the bedside. At the word “money” the woman aroused. Her nurse was sent home and no one but the brother remained with her. At that time she probably revealed her secret. She died an hour later. ‘What took place at the interview no one knows, but at § o’clock this morning the brother commenced digging with an ax at the foot of the central post of three in the back fence of the cottage. The ax prov- ing inadequate, he obtained a pick and shovel from a neighbor, who went with him to the yard. At 4 o'clock the pick struck metal, «nd soon a rusted yeast powder can was unearthed. In it were gold coins, some of them many years old. Another and yct other cans were dug up. The find was one of.thousands of dollars. Lennox has taken the money to Los Ao- geles. He lives a mile and a half from the city, in a suburban district. The story is that when she was 2% yeard old Miss Lennox fell heir to a large sum of money. She never banked it, but took it always with her, burying it from place to place. @ il e @ LODGE PROMOTER Ea A SUICIDE Organizer Roediger of the Woodmen Kills Himself. EUREKA, July 6.—C. R. Roediger. dep~ uty grand organizer for the Modern Wood- men of America, committed suicide in the Revere House in this city last night. His body was found at a late hour this afternoon with a bullet wound in the head. From all appearances the man had been dead many hours. Roediger's non-appearance in the par- lors of the hotel during the day caused some alarm and finally an attache of the hotel was sent to room 13, which the un- fortunate man had been occupying, to investigate. He found the door locked and was unable to force an entrance. Obtaining a chair, he peered through the transom and saw the body of Roediger lying on the bed in a pool of blood. It was removed to an undertaker's parlors. Roediger arrived in Eureka on May 27. He represented himself as a organizer for the Modern Woodmen of America and had since been engaged in instituting new camps in this county. He was apparently 50 years of age and in good health and circumstances. The motive for his self= destruction not known. Lorillard’s Condition Hopeless.
