Kick From Horse Dislodges Portion of Cerebral Matter. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 148 Broadway, Nov. 1. With part of his brain gone, George Parsons, the 8-year-old boy who was kicked on the head a week ago, still lives. The doctors who attended him deem his case one of the most reramrkable known to medical science and believe he will know lorgevity like other folks and exer- se his thinking faculties just as much as most of them do. The accident to Parsons occurred near his home in San Leandro. As soon as could be he was removed to the County Infirmary. The doctors there were hope- less of his recovery because his skull was crushed and a large area of brain mat- ter disturbed. Dr. Clark and his assistant took a chance, however. They removed several spoonfuls of the destroyed ' brain and pieces of the skull that had lodged there and closed the cavity with a silver plate. The operation was performed while the boy was perfectly conscious. He did not seem to feel the pain at all. He has been getting along so well since the treatment that the doctors say he will soon be at play with his friends. @ e O streets, lot 51:6 by 105, with improvements, for $6250. Calvin E.

Criminal Makes a Confession Before the Flames End His Life. YRR ERE i, SARDIS, Miss., Nov. 1.—An unknown negro was burned at the stake at Dar- ling, Miss., last night for the murder of E. O. Jackson and a mill owner named Roselle at Darling on Wednesday night. The negro was burned by a mob of 4000 persons, both white and black. Just be- fore the lighting of the funeral pyre the negro confessed that he had committed the double murder with the assistance of twe white men. The motive was robbery and a considerable sum was secured, which, the negro stated, was divided | among the three. After the burning a posse went in search of the two white men and soon captured them. They proved alibis and were released. Darling is a small station on the Lake Cormant branch of the Yazoo and Mis- | sissippi Valley road about twenty-five | railes from this point, and there is no di- rect telegraphic communication. The news that has reached Sardis has come through persons from the neighborhood of the crime who have been called here on business.

Sam- vel M. Shortridge will be the principal speaker. Word has been sent through- out the city for all loyal Republicans to join in making the final demonstration one that will be worthy of Alameda County, whose interest in the campaign is of peculiar interest. 1t is intended by the Young Men’s Re- publican League, which has the meeting in‘ charge, to have a rousing rally for George C. Pardee and the ticket. Repub- licans prominent in the councils of the party have been invited to take part, that a representative body of men shall give solid backing to this, the last hurrah for Pardee in his home city, On all sides the sentiment is strongly expressed that loyalty to home, without partisan considerations, shall bring out a splendld vote for the ticket. The Re- publican party has particularly favored Ozkland in selecting the standard bearer from this city, and Oakland and Alameca County purpose to show that the old- time fire and vigor fof the party is alive and stirring. It has been deemed especially fitting that the young men of the party shall have charge of this closing night. Presi- dent R. H. E. Espey of the league has taken hold of fhe arrangements with a determination to show that the young men are awake to the fight and will give a splendid ante-election day boom to“the ticket. The Republican State Committee and the County Committee have joined forces with- the league. It is not intended to make a great street display. There will be an escort of uniformed drill clubs to the guests of the meeting. The Republi- can Alliance and the drill corps of the Young Men's Republican League and other clubs will take part. All interest centers in the speech that will be delivered by the gifted orator, Samuel M. Shortridge. That the audience shall have full opportunity to hear him, the committee has decided to cut other speakers to a minimum in the introduc- tory addresses. George E. Jackson, one of the leaders among the young support- ers of Dr. Pardee and the ticket, will open the meting on behalf of the league. Five minute speeches will be.made by Dis- trict Attorney John J. Allen and by Asa V. Mendenhall, president of the Young Men's Republican Club. Orchestral and vocal music will be furnished.

BERKELEY, Nov. 1L—From strictly non-partisan motives and with the only end in view that of enlightening the stu- dents on matters of serious import- ance, two professors of the University of California are to address the students upon the economic and socialistic aspects of the proposed State constitutional amendments now before the people. On Monday night at Stiles Hall Profes- sor Thomas R. Bacon of the department of history and Professor Carl C. Plehn of the economic department will review the nine revisions of the State constitu- ‘tiicm to be voted upon on the following ay. The addresses of the professors will be given in respomse to an earnest appeal from many of the student voters, who seek information on the import of the amendments and the results of their pos- sible passage. The consent of college professors to talk on volitics'is a new thing in college his- tory and much interest is being aroused over the coming meeting. Concerning the innovation, Professor Bacon said to-day: “It was at the request of the students that we have consented to do this and then only with the strict understanding | nothing which we say will be construed to | savor of political prejudice. We will speak from an economic and soclalistic point of view only. @ iriimininbieii el @ PROTEGE: ASKs SMALL FORTUNE Boy.

Elnipa k] LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1—Judge Olin ‘Wellborn in the United States District Court to-day handed down a decision in the now celebrated case of the Pacific Electric Railway, which is controlled by the Huntington-Hellman syndicate, against the city of Los Angeles in the matter of the so-called “freight fran- chise.”” The decision is in favor of the city, Judge Wellborn holding the opinion that the Eleetric Railway Company is not entitled to the franchisé it claims, al- though the municipal authorities did, he says, exceed the authority granted them by the Broughton act. ‘When the City Council granted the freight franchise to the Pacific Electric Railway Company the people of this city protested vehemently against it. Mayor Snyder vetoed the franchise, but the com- pany refused to take back the amount of its bid, $152,000, and it has remiained in the city treasury. The railway company insisted that even had the Mayor signed the franchise this act would be but minis- terial and perfunctory, as the Council had full power to grant a valid franchise. The Huntington - Hellman syndicate | made application for-a concession cover- ing the principal streets in the city and reaching out to thg city limits, south and east. Notice of sale was prepared and approved, but after bids were opened it ‘was found that this notice had been tam- pered with prior to publication. Greater freighting privileges than: contemplated were granted and, in addition, the fran- chise provided for third rails. After eom- petitive bidding for the privilege had been | allowed twice, the franchise was awarded | the Pacific Electric Railway by the Coun- cil and promptly vetoed by the Mayor. It | is ‘probable the case will be taken to the higher court. ‘ STEWARDS REINSTATE - HORSEMAN A. S.

A|GNES DECISION - EXPERTS TELL T0 105 ANGELES| 0 F HANDWRITING Chirography Again to the Fore in Molineux Case, Cross-Examination of the Defendant Quickly Concluded. NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—The crosr-exami- nation of Roland B. Molineux by Assist- ant District Attorney Osborne, which was resumed at the opening’ of court to-day, was finished within a few minutes after its resumption. The defendant was in the best of humor. - Osborne’s first question to-day was: “Did not Mr. Barnett pay your wife at- tention?"” “Not at all,” was the reply. “Did you not so testify at:the inquest?* Molineux's reply to this was that Barnett had paid attention to- Miss Chesebrough in the spring and autumn of 1898 before she became Mrs. Molineux. Osborne ceased his examination rather abruptly after several questions as to the prisoner’s connection with various medi- cal associations. As Molineux resumed his seat the Rev. Lindsay Parker of Brooklyn shook hands with him and his father, General Molineux, patted him af- fectionately on the shoulder and said, “Good boy.” Attorney Black called Max Gumpel, & handwriting expert, as his first" witness after Molineux. . Gumpel said he had stu- died handwriting more than thirty years and had testified in many important cases, among others the Rief and Becker forgery, the Sharon will case, the Sarah Althea Hill controversy in California and the Rice will case in New York. He declared that the conceded and dis- puted writings were not written by the same hand. Gumpel said it was his belief that the address on the poison package was In the natural hand of the writer and that its cramped appearance was due to its having been written after the pack= age was made up. On cross-examination Gumpel said ha would expect the sender of a poison pack- age to disguise hig handwriting. He knew of no case in which a person had sent poison to any one without trying to con= ceal his identity. Osborne got the witness to say that the “u” and “c” in “coub,” written by Molineux, had many charac- teristics in common with the address om the poison package wrap er. Dr. David Elwell, a handwriting expert, also testified that after having made care- ful studies of the disputed and conceded writings, he was convinced that they had not been done by the same hand. Dr. Elwell was still on the stand when court was adjourned until Wednesday next. @ il PEACH INSEETS GIVE UP SECAET Warren Clark Fools Bugs That He May Help Orchardists. BERKELEY, Nov. 1.—Warren T. Clark, assistant entomologist of the agricultural department of the University of Califor- nia, has just issued a bulletin of great value to orchardists of the State on the suppression of the peach moth, a pest which causes thousands of dollars’ loss annually to the horticulturists of the foothill regions. His deductions, as pub- lished in his report, were made as the re- sults of a series of remarkable experie ‘ments. Believing that the most successful fight against the pest could be carried on in the first flush of the spring’s modifled temperature, Clark undertook to simulate the balmy breath of May by carrying about on- his person an assortment of twigs containing larvae of the destructive insect. The unsuspecting Anarsia lintella, belleving that it was time to begin busi-. ness operations, burst from their cover- ings of bark and tMus betrayed to the keen scientist the secret which is to he their undoing. From these strictly personal investiga~ tions Entomologist Clark is now enabled to announce in his bulletin that the time | to catch the pestiferous insects is at the budding time in early spring. By the ap- plication of an emulsion of lime, salt and sulphur at this time he guarantees that the former loss of 75 per cent will be re- duced to 1 per cent. His. bulletin contains an exhaustive re- port upon conditions existing in all of the important peach-growing districts of the State. The comparative losses resulting from summer and winter spraying are tabulated, and many important facts for the guidance of the fruit grower are in- corporated in his report. Licensed to Marry.
