Hearst was the guest of the women students of the Univer- sity of Califernia this afternoon at a reception held in Hearst Hall from 3 to § o'clock. It was the first time the college girls had ever been the host- esses of Mrs. Hearst, and they had appro- priately selected the anniversary of the dedication of Hearst Hall as the day for that event. A year ago the big building was_given Into the hands of the women of the university for their exclusive use, and to-day they met again with the donor in friendly converse. The rec>ntion was planned and carried out by 2 co-eds themselves. Besides L e o e e e e aNAPS PLaTOL AT THURSTON Robert Ellis Attempts to End Life.of the Pugilist. Pugilist “Dutch” Thurston had a nar- row escape from being murdered yester- day afternoon at the corner of Sixth and Minna streets. He became engaged in an altercation with a man named Robert Ellis over his recent fight with Al Nelill, and Ellis drew a revolver and before any- body could interfere he snapped it three times in Thurston’s face. The cartridges were damaged and failed to-explode, and because of this fortunate circumstance Thurston is still able to enter the ring. The would-be murderer was promptly knocked down with a well-directed left from Thurston before he could pull the trigger the fourth time. Realizing tha Eilis, armed as he was, would have shade the best of the argument if it went any further, Thurston walked away from ;he scene before the former regained his eet. Thurston' had been down on Sixth street, where he formerly made his headquarters when under the management of Alec Greggains, to get a watch which he left to be fixed at Polisky’s jewelry store. The prize-fighter then dropped into Dawson's saloon on Sixth street, where he met El- lis, who was intoxicated. The latter and Thurston had been good friends, but when TRurston forsook the management of Greggains, Ellis and Thurston had a falling out. While drinking yesterday Ellls became filled with the fancy that Greggains was angry over Thurston's change of man- agement and he told the pugilist that he never would have won a fight if it were not for the sage advice and_ the management of his affairs by Greggains. Thurston resented the remarks of Ellis, and the latter evidently fearing that the pugllist was going to strike him drew his revolver and pointing it at Thurston’s head pulled the trigger three times. A large crowd gathered quickly, but no arrests were made. e OCEAN STEAMER. NEW YORK—Arrived Feb 15—Stmr Btru- Lis town. ’the guest of honor and Mrs. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, they alone were present. Throughout the hours of the reception the lower hall, in which it was held, was | ecrowded. The new students, who had not before met Mrs. Hearst, were present in great numbers and had the pleasure of meeting their benefactress and holding an informal chat with her. At the opening of the reception Mrs. Hearst stood on a large Turkish rug glaced near the center of the hall.

W., WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—To avert any possibility of springing tariff revisj on the House in company with the war tax repeal measure the high tariff steer- Ing committee has brought in the most drastic rule ever presented in a national hall of legislation, with the possible ex- ception of the Crisp rules, by means of which the Wilson tariff bill was passed. The measure was introduced by Chair- man Payne of the Ways and Means Com- mittee, ‘and _will without any doubt be adopted on Monday, as follows: Resolved, That immediately aftér the adop- tion of this rule and immediately after the reading of the journal on each day thereafter until the bill hereinafter mentioned shall have been passed, the House shall resolve itself into a committee of the whole on state of the Union for the consideration of the bill to re- peal the war revenue taxation and for other purposes; that on February 18, at 3 p, m,, the general debate shall be closed in committee of the whole, when the committee shall rise and report the bill and such amendments as been recommended by the Committee on Wa: and Means, and immediitely the House shall vote without debate or intervening motions, on the several amendments reported, on the en- sro-mem and third reading of the bill and on nal passage. Authorities on parllamentary practice who have been considering this rule in- sist that it is one of the most stringent rules ever brought into the House to force through a measure without amend- ment. It provides only for such amend- ments in the committee of the whole as have been l:reedvléyon by the Republican members of the Ways and Means Com- mittee. These are mostly verbal and ot little importance. According to a thorough canvass that has been made this rule will be adopted on Monday, and the war tax repeal measure will be passed on Tuesdey l--flemoon. Babcock himself, ‘who more e than any ome else has been feared by pro- tectionists, it is now said will offer no objection to the adoption of the rule.

The tables were surrounded by ever-changing groups of pretty co-eds during the afternoon. The hall was decorated in an unusually artistic fashion. Long stretches of net- ting hanging in festoons from the cefling were covered with red hearts of all sizes, giving the room the appearance of a for- est of hearts—a bewildering, pleasing for- est, The windows were closely curtained and the electric lights, hidden completely by great poppies of red tissue paper, POLIGE PROBE HOTEL MYSTERY Cemmission Merchant of New York Is Found - Dying. NEW YORK, Feb. 15—Walter 8. Brooks, a young commission merchant of this city, was found dying in a room in the Glen Island Hotel, West and Cort- landt streets, last midnight, and after his death, several hours later in a hospital, the police were notified and took in charge Florence Burns, a handsome Brooklyn girl, with whom Brooks had for some time been Keeping company. A negro bellboy identified the girl as one who came to the hotel with Brooks, but Miss Burns denfes that she was the person and declares that she met Brooks at his place of business early Friday evening, lcaving him at 6:30 o'clock to go to her home in Brooklyn. Certain it is, however, that Brooks and some young woman went to the Glen Isl- and Hotel early Friday evening, register- ing as “J. Wilson and wife.” 1t was mid- night when thejbellboy smelled gas in one of the hallways. Brooks' room was broken into and he was found lying across the bed unconsclous and the gas was pouring from the burners. Dr. Sweeney was summoned and noticed what he thought was a simple cut on the back of the head. Later he discovered it was a bullet wound and Brooks' removal to a hospital followed. The girl was arrested at her Brooklyn home. At the police station she did not flinch at the examination through which she was put, maintaining that she did not spend the night with Brooks. The bellboy. however, picked her out from three wo- men lined up before him as the one who had been at the hotel. Dr. Sweeney and the police put aside the theory of self-murder because there was no_powder mark around the spot where the bullet entered the head. Coun- sel has been engaged by the girl’s father, who is Fred Burns, well known in sport- ing circles as an announcer of big sport- ing events. Brooks’ father is a composi- tor, and friends of the fl.mll{ say the young man was infatuated with the girl and that the family was using every en- SCENE AT THE RECEPTION TO MRS.

EGIATION OF HER BENEFACTIONS \AD BULL G0AES 1 MAN TO DEATH It Attacks Louis Morley ‘While He Is Driving a Stake, Neighbor Finds the Animal Standing Over Victim’s Lifeless Body. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, - Broadway, Feb. 15. | Gored to death by a mad bull—that was the terrible fate that overtook Louls Morley, 60 years of age, some time last night in a vacant fleld at Forty-second | and Lusk streets. Standing over his life- | less and mangled body when he was found this morning was the infuriated animal that had killed him, breathing de- flance to any who dared to approach. The last seen of Morley alive was last night at 10 o’clock, when he borrowed an ax from Alanson W. Chute, a carpenter living at 4202 Lusk street. He told Chute then that he needed the ax to drive a stake, to which he was going to tether the bull in the fleld near the carpenter's house. “I heard him driving the stake,” said Chute to-day. “I ‘heard the bull bellow- | ing, too, but as I had often heard it be- | fore, I did not fear for the safety of Mor- ley. I had heard the bull was dangerous, but Morley used to lead it about without | seeming to think that he would get hurt. “] did not pay any mors attention to Morley until this morning, when I saw the bull running and snorting about the | fleld wih the stake dragging after him. | 1 thought something might have hap- pened to the man. Pretty soon I saw the bull Bo to the center of the field and paw something. It soon dawned on me that it was a man's body. After some trouble we succeeded In driving the bull away and removing the body of Morley, for it was he.” Morley’s remains were brought to the Morgue, and it was discovered that the bull’s horns had penetrated the body in | two places, with sufficient depth in each | instance to cause instant death. The {‘clothing and flesh were torn in a cruel | manner. The mangling of the body indi- | cates that after the animal had knocked Morley down and impaled him, it had jumped upon his prostrate form with its Iefhe bull was caught after some dif- culty and shot to prevent it from injuring anybody else. Before it was finally las- sooed it threatened to break down its in- | closure and attack some school children vho stood watching its antics. “S‘foneys home was at 516 Forty-fifth street. He conducted a teaming business and supported himself and wife.

W., WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—It devel- oped to-day that Secretary Long ex- pressed his strong disapproval of the po- sition taken by the President during the Cabinet meeting yesterday when the President read the first draft of his an- swer to Schley’s appeal. Roosevelt, it is now reported, will take a middle course, which will not be satisfactory to the par- tisans of either Schiey or Sampson. It is said that Roosevelt will hold Sampson's order of battle was followed up to the time the Brooklyn made its famous loop, when it became a captains’ battle, in which Schley directed only the movement of the Brooklyn. Captaln Chadwick will be criticized for signing Sampson’s name to the dispatch which presented to the nation as a Fourth of July present the victory of the Ameri- can fleet at Santiago. It is also said the famous loop of the Brooklyn will be con- demned. Secretary Long argued for the support of the decision of the majority of the court of inquiry, but the President would not listen.

Suits for divorce were filed yesterday by Leona Barraza against Ascension Barraza for cruelty, Julia Nolan against Michael Nolan for failure to provide and Athens Constantine against Cosma Constantine for failure to provide. Think this over very carefully. Isn'’t it better to buy a good second-hand piano for $75 or $100 than a poor new one? Suppose you were buying a house—suppose you found one to suit you—suppose it had been already occupied—would the fact that it had once been used be a reason why you should spend more money for a new one or the samg money for a poorer one? A piano is like a house—if proven good, it's always good—and as second-hand piano has proven its worth—it's stood the test. Of course we can sell you a new piano for $150 if you want one; ~.can sell one as low as anybody else, but you'll not be pleased. In six months these cheap pianos lose their newness, look worse than a second-hand instrument of to-day and will wear but one-fourth e as long.
