The mur- | dered boy lived with his uncle, Jue Woh | Kit, at the place where the shooting oc- | curred. Two shots were fired into the boy’s back. He was taken to the Receiv- ng Hospital, where he made an ante- mortem statement to Detective Bailey, | accusing Jue Lin Ong of having shot him. The boy died about 2 o’clock and his body was removed to the Morgue.

Pawling Goes | to Rescue at Moment of Peril. e T, | ALAMEDA, July 20.—Risking her own |life, and by main strength in a moment of peril, Mrs. Freder F. Pawling of | Alameda saved Mrs. William Merw.n from death or serious injury at Larkspur yes- | terday afternoon. Just as Mrs. Merwin was about to be thrown out of a cart down a steep niilside Mrs. Pawling caught hold of the vehicle and held it until the | frightened occupant was able to make her escape. If she had not had the strength to hold the cart in place it8 weight would have carried both the wom- en to the bottom of a deep gulch. Mrs, Merwin and a woman friend were driving along one of the high grades in the neighborhood of Larkspur just pre- vious to the occurrence of the accident that came so near terminating fatally. They had stopped at a trough to water the horse, Mrs. Merwin remaining | in the vehicle while her companion alight- ed for the purpose of loosing the check rein. While the horse was drinking a big dog came running madly down the road and jumped into the trough. It performed | this feat so suddenly that the horse be- came frightened and started to run. Mrs. Merwin lost her presence of mind imme- diately, making no attempt to grasp the | reins,” which were within easy reach of | her. Having nothing to guide it the horse ran off the road and up the side of a steep hill. Below the road was a deep guleh. To tip over meant death to Mrs. Merwin, as there could be no stopping until the bottom of the gulch was reached. Just as it seemed certain that the cart { would turn turtle Mrs. Pawling came to the rescue. She had been walking along the road with some frienis and had seen the runaway. She is large and muscular | and intrepid, and when she saw Mrs. Mer- win's peril rusaed to her aid. Bracing hersclf against a small _rock that stuck out of the hillside Mrs. Pawl- ing grabbed hold of a wheel of the top- pling cart on the side which was lowest and held tight, at the same time crying to Mrs. Merwin to stop the horse. The frightened woman did as she was bidden, and in a moment the danger was oOver. Mrs. Pawling held the cart until the oc- cupant got out and then was assisted in getting it to the road by others of the party. Mrs. Pawling looks upon her brave act as nothing exiraordinary. She lives with | her husband at 3212 Encinal avenue. i Divorce Suit Surprises Society. SANTA BARBARA, July 29.—A surpri was sprung on the local “Four Hundred to-day when it was learned that Mr John Percy Laughton, a leader of soclety. had filed a suit for divorce from her hus- | band.

FOOTE CHOSEN BY COMMITTEE City Attorney in Minor- | ity Report Favors Davis. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July The names of W. W. Foote and William R. Davis were presented to the City Council to-night by the special committee | appointed to select an attorney to assist | City Attorney Johnson in the work of appeal in the water rates suit. The com- | pensation for the lawyer who is yet to be | chosen was fixed at $8000. Mr. Foote was | | the choice of the majority of the special | ! | committee, of Councilmen | Ruch, Bon and Bishop. = City Attorney Johnson, who was acting with the com- | mittee, presented a minority report, nam- ing Mr. Davis. The two reports were referred, upon motion of Councilman Courtney, to the Ordinance and Judiciary Committee, after | Councilman Fitzgerald's motion to adopt | the minority report had been lost by the following vote: Ayes—Dornin, Fitzgerald, Wallace, Wix- son; noes—Bishop, Bon, Courtney, Ruch, Schafer; absent—Boyer, Cuvellier. As soon as the majority report had been read, City Attorney Johnson read his re- solution naming Mr. Davis, and said: “T would very much like to have the Coun- cil act to-night on this matter, so that I may know who shall be the attorney to assist me In this case. Already I have asked for two extensions of time from the other side and my last extension ex- pires this week. I desire that whoever shall be chosen may join with me at once in starting the appeal, whether he shall be Mr. Foote or Mr, Davis.” % Continuing, Mr, Johnson said Mr. Foote was his personal friend, but that 10,000 pages of manuscript would have to be gone through at night and Mr. Davis, having offices in Oakland, was better sit- uated to assist in the work. The Council adopted a resolution trans- ferring $10,000 to the {eneral fund and $10,- 000 to the high school fund. By the provisions of an ordinance intro- duced to-night the Council takes control out of hande of the Auditor of the fund- ing of all the city’'s income, holding 45 per cent in the general fund this year for al- lotment to other funds as the exigencies may require. The only other funds for which provision is directly made are the salary, lice, fire and street funds. Here- tofore the funds have received their allot- ments and have been fixed at the outset of the new fiscal year. The ordinance went to second reading. Councilman _ Fitzgerald furnished the closing act of the session by a vigorous attack upon.two resorts on Twelfth street, between Broadwa and Washington streets, saying: ‘‘These places have got to be toned down. It is reported to me that young girls in all stages of intoxlca- tion frequent them and have been seen going to and coming from them. The street in front of the places is impassable. A respectable woman cannot pass them without fear of insult, and & man nfust flflht his way through. This condition or affairs is a disgrace and a stop must be put to it.” The_Council took no action, but Presi- dent Shaffer suggested the matter should go before the license committee. — composed Wants Receiver for the Company.

A good crowd and some excellent racing were features. The 2:14 pace 'was the first race on the programme and thirteen side-wheelers answered the bell. Martha Marshall, driv- en by Andy McDowell, was installed fa- vorite at 25 to 20 for the fleld. Captajn Sphinx won the first heat in a drive from Winfield Stratton and Martha Marshall. The favorite took the next two heats, pac- ing the second in 2:07-)?, reducing her ree- ord a full second. In the fourth and fifth | heats she caused trouble while scoring and got away badly each time, giving Nouamie and Shecan a chance for a heat apiece. Only the four-heat winners ap- peared for the sixth heat and Mar Marshall stepped to the front at once and kept her position to the wire. The 2:23 trot was a disappointment in that it had only four starters. Country Jay, who was second to Eleata at both Detroit and Cleveland, was looked upon as a sure winner, but May Allen, an In- dianapolis mare, took his measure, oul- trotting him and winning three straisht eats. The last race was a gift to Dan Patch, the handsome son of Joe Patchen, who tiptoed his field and was never forced to g0 to the top of his speed. Summary: 2:14 class pacing, Durse $2000—Martha Mar- shall won second, third and sixth heats. Best time, 2:07%. Sheean won fifth heat in 2:21%.

SEARCHING FOR HENRY PEARSON San Franciscan Who Disappeared From West Berkeley Has Not Been Found and Dis- tracted Wife Fears He Has Been Murdered ERKELEY, July 20.—Henry Pear- son, who disappeared from West Berkeley Monday last, has not been found. The police in Oak- land and San Francisco have searched in vain and the efforts of private deteetives have been equally futile. His wife, at her home in San Francisco, is nearly distracted over the uncertainty of his fate. She fears that he has been killed for the money he carried with him and awaits in dread the news of the dis- covery of his body. Pearson cannot be traced from West Berkeley.

Crowther cannot, however, offer any other reason. He believes Pear- son honest, and his actions in borrowing the money puzzle him greatly. f Pearson’s wife and friends do not belleve that he would désert his family and the suicide theory is not counted as probable. He told a real estate man in Fruitvale he would return Monday, and when he left Crowther he said he was going there. If he started for there how he could have * been killed and his body made away with during the daytime is an unanswerable question. Pearson was an employe in a San Fran- cisco lumber mill. He was short and heavily built, weighing between 175 and 150 pounds. He'is a Swede and has a slight accent. L e e B o e e e e e e e ] ] PROTEST FILED -~ AGAINST AUTO Supervisors Asked to Regulate Speed of Machines, Dakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 29. The rights of horseless carriages on the county highways as opposed to the older type of conveyance are just now at issuc before the Board of Supervisors. —The swiftly moving autos, darting neiselessly about the streets and roads formerly monopolized by equine steeds have been the subject of complaint by citizens who have voiced their woes in the local press; now a written protest, demanding restric- tive legislation has been filed with the county's governing board and will come up for action at the Supervisors’ next meeting. The protest, which is signed by C. A. Plummer, was presented to-day and referred to the Bridge and Road Commit- tee. It is as follows: I desire to eall your attentisn to the willful neglect of the rights of those who use vehicles | drawn by horses on the roads of Alameda County through the presumptuous and danger- ous manipulation of automobiles on sald roads. This county, at considerable expense, pro- vided the traveling public with good roads for the purpose of pleasure and traffle, enabling | the farmer or produser to safely move their products. It also provides a means for pleasant family drives, which are supposed to be free from extraordinary danger. Your petitioner prays that your honerable board will make an endeavor to regulate au- tomobiles, that the right of horse vehicies may be protected from the dangers now so mani- fest. The preliminary sketch of the new gl'mll) of buildings for the county in- rmary outlines a series of structures, nineteen in number, second to none in existence in_ beauty’ and fitness. Archi- tect Albert Sutton of San Francisco had the plans before the Supervisors to-day and the board accepted them without hesi- tation. 1t is the board’s ?urpose to call for final plans of the bulldings one by one to re- place the present dilapidated structuies as the funds become avallable, each new addition taking its place as part of th: general scheme. The new group will occupy the same site as the old one, the administration building and several others making a cen- tral cluster on a plat of level ground, the others spreading out on either side and on _the slope above them. The new buildings will probably be con- structed of brick made near the site, and will afford accommodations for 300 indi- gents besides the patients in the hospital Pursuant to the request of the State At- torney General the Supervisors ordered the suit to recover $114,216 from the State as commissions for the collection of State taxes dismissed, the Supreme Court_de- cision In the test case brought for Yolo County having been given in favor of the Stad —————————— CHOATE DEPRECATES FLOGGING AT SCHOOLS English Press Editorially Defends the Old-Style Method of Cor- recting Pupils, LONDON, July 30—Mr. Choate, pre- siding yesterday at a distribution of rizes to pupils of the London University gchool, :lru deprpcatlnsl{lta the “deli- cate subject of flogging,” which had been abandoned, he sald, “‘years and years ago in America.” His utterances have editorial comment in the fending the “anclent method.” Choate suggested in the course of his remarks that Great Britain and the nited States should exehanfa prize boys, eir respecti led to some Standard de- distributing _them in th ctive schools, and thus promote the ‘“alto- getherness” of the two countries. pifl 5o g Farmers Object to Hounds.

Morris, a stockholder and director of the Central Bank, has been elected cashier of that institution to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Charles R. Yates. The new cashier brings to his post a wide knowledge of the bank's affairs, having long been closely identified with the institution. The directors feel grati- fied that Mr. Morris has consentsd to ac- cept the position. Mr. Morris has a high standing in the financial world and his acceptance of the position was due to personal solicitation on the part of the directors.

DIVORGE Prominent Los Angeles Woman Tells Story of Cruelty. VAR Mrs. Belle P. Haralson Obtains Her Decree of Sepa- ration. 5 T 2 2] LOS ANGELES, July 20.—A story of cruelty was told by Mrs. Belle P. Haral- son to Judge Trask in the Superior Court to-day, when she went upon the stand to testify as to her treatment by her hus- band during the past few years. Mrs. Haralson asked for a divorce from her | husband, Orr Haralson, a well-known man about town, on the ground of exces- sive cruelty, and, after hearing her story, Judge Trask signed the decree. The witness said that during the time she lived with her husband and young son at the Abbottsford Inn he on one occa- sion dragged her from her bed and struck her repeatedly until her body was black and blue. Among other incidents of cru- elty recited by Mrs. Haralson was that of her husband biting her finger almost to_the bone. C. W. Pendleton, the brother of the plaintiff, was her attorney and offered to plf}ceflu tn:m the ;tarnd her young son, but only was absolutely necessary. Judge Trask waived his testimony. & “‘Nothing more is necessary,” sald his Honor, and he signed the decree in behalf of Mrs. Haralson. Mrs. Haralson is a singer of much abil- ity and is connected with prominent peo- gle in her own family. Her father, W. H. endleton, was well known here as a Bap- tist preacher before his death, some‘years ago, and her brother is Cornellus W. Pen- dleton, Speaker of the last Assembly. FARMER FOUND DEAD IN HIS OWN YARD August Brecht Commits Suicide Wita Revolver on His Ranch Near Livermore. LIVERMORE. July 20.—August Brecht, a farmer, 58 years of age, was found dead in his front yard this morning with a pls- tol bullet through his head. It is undoubt- edly a case of suicide, though no cause can be assigned for the act. Brecht has a- farm about five miles north of Livermore, wnere he has lived for many years.
