Armed with rifles, weighted down with emmunition and financially backed by part of a double eagle stolen from Mrs. Fenton’s purse, John Fenton, eleven years old, and James Meagher, two years older, yesterday left their San Francisco homes on a filibustering expedition through Contra Costa County. The storm drove them into Oakland, where Detec- tive Shorey picked them up. They re- crossed the bay this evening in the cus- tody of Meagher’s mother. Fenton, who lives with his parents at 801 Golden Gate avenue, was the origi- pator and financier of the.expedition. Young Meagher, whose home is at 748 Mc- Allister street, “just went along.” The boys left their homes yesterday morning, presumably for school. Fenton, towever, had provided himself with $20 from his mother’s pocket book and easily ersuaded his friend James to be one of a and of two in a hunt for fortune. They purchased two rifles, six boxes of smmunition _and & dozen packages of cigarettes. They crossed the bay on the 10 o’clock broad-guage boat. “We was out to get anything we could fird; we wanted to be Jesse James or Robinson Crusoe, and if it hadn’t rained the cops would never have got us,” is the way young Fenton summed up the adven- ture. ot out in the country all right and had shot two squirrels when the downpour caused a retreat to Oakland. They spent the night in a*Ninth street lodging house and were contemplating a fresh start this morning when Detective Shorey gathered them in. Thelr posses- sions, when arrested, consisted of two rifies, four boxes of ammunition and $8 Their parents were communicated with and this afternoon Mrs. Meagher took the runaways home. Their destination, they sald, was Banta Cruz, and if necessary they intended, by cepturing a team or a train, to equip themselves with fitting transport. They would have worked, young Fenton said. if they had to, but not as long as their ammunition held out. Fenton's father is a Deputy County Clerk in San Franci Students Organize Society.

TRIES 70 KILL SLEEPING SISTER Murderous Attack by a Suddenly Crazed Woman. ———— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 20. Mrs. Maggie King suddenly became vio- lently insane at an early hour this morn- ing and tried to throttle her sister, who is a domestic in the employ of United States Senator George C. Perkins. In the midst of a sound sleep the sister was awakened by the grip of strong hands upon her throat. She soon realized that her an- tagonist was Mrs. King, with whom she had been sleeping. With all her might she tried to release herself. from the crishing grip of the woman, at the same time screaming at the top of her voice so that the other inmates of the house might come to her rescue. Over and over the women rolled, first on the bed and then down upon the floor. ‘When finally assistance came the wo- men were lying fastened in each other's arms and panting from exhaustion; their clothing torn into shreds. Senator Per- kins’ coachman was the first to arrive on the scene, and when other help came the women were separated and Mrs. King was bound hand and foot. Then, the po lice were sent for and Detectives Shorey and Mackey arrived in the patrol wagon to take the maniac to the Receiving Hos- g{iufl. On the way to the hospital Mrs, ing did not offer any resistance to the officers. Mrs. King has been the guest of her sis- ter for a week, having been invited to come from her home in Fort Brags, where she first began to show signs of dementia. She refuses to talk at all and has eaten little food for a month. She is the mother of five children, who'are being ' cared for by their father.

W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Three chiefs of bureaus of the Navy Depart- ment—Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of | equipment; Rear Admiral Bowles, chief [ constructor; and Rear Admiral Kenny, paymaster-general—are involved in a seri- ous controversy, which has culminated in a charge of disobedience of orders, filed against the first-named officer. None of the officials party to the con- troversy is disposed to discuss the facts for publication. The trouble arose over a question of the ownership and contral of coal barges, thirty-seven of which have been purchased by Rear Admiral Brad- ford since shortly before the war with Spain. Rear Admiral Bowles recommended to Secretary Long that in the interest of economy and good administration an or- der be issued gla.cin. the repairs of all coal barges under his bureau. Secretary Long directed that the Bureau af Con- struction make an estimate for the pur- chase and repair of barges. In the meantime Rear Admiral Brad- ford had received urgent recommenda- tions from the commander-in-chief of the Pacific station and the commandant of | the naval station at Puget Sound that additional coal barges be supplied. He telegraphed the commandant to forward plans at once, but that officer reported that the Naval Constructor was too busy to take up tne work. Admiral Bradford then directed that plans be obtained from private ship builders, and when_ these | were recelved he selected one and tele: graphed to the commandant, directing [* him to contract for four coal barges of the designated design.
