Sets Oakland Police . Agog,| but Facts Soon Come to Light. —_———r Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 15. Mrs. August Retner, wife of a Judson Iron Works employe, residing at 5802 San Pablo avenue, set the Police Department agog to-night with a story of brutal as- sult and attempted robbery of which she clalmed to be the victim. It was not until Dr. Merrfll, who had treated the woman for a wound in her head, had been interviewed by the patrolmen that the excitement subsided. The phyeician reported that his, pa- tlent’s injury was caused most likely by & fall, and that she told him she did not know how it was inflicted. To Policeman Murcell, who had heard of a disturbance at the Retner home and went there to investigate, Mrs. Retner declared a man whom she knew had entered the house during her husband's absence and de- manded her money. After she had thrown ker purse on the floor he struck her on the head with a hammer, she claimed, | and had run away without touching the coin bag. The husband said he went home from work at 6 o'clock and found his spouse drunk and sitting in a chair. He went out to a brother's home, not far away, got his supper and returned in an hour to find his wife in bed with her head| gashed. She told her story in her husband's presence to the policeman. Neither hus- band nor wife had any complaint to lodge | sganist the alleged assailant. The injury is not serious. The police learned that Retner and his wife frequently quarreled. No arrests were made. The woman's| story is not given credence at police head- quarters. VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA PLACED UNDER ARREST Eight Members of the Organization Charged With Obstructing Street. Eight representatives of the Volunteers of America were arrested last evening at the corner of Post and Kearny streets by Policemen Douglass and Hurd and charged at the City Prison with obstruct- ing the street.

ERKELEY, Nov. 15.—Orval Over- all, the giant right guard of the victorious California eleven, was to-day elected to the captaincy of next year’s team by his fellow players of this season’s successful varsity. The honor was conferred on the husky gridiron hero at a banquet given the team in San Francisco this evening by the California Alumni Association. Overall is the natural cholce of the team. He has played the university game for three consecutive years and by his brilliant work has become the idol of the football enthusiasts, both in college and out. His remarkable playing in the last intercollegiate game, which went a long way toward bringing a decisive victory to the blue and gold, assured the confer- ring of the leadership of the next team upon him to-day, The big guard entered college in the class of '04 with a record already estab- lished by three years’ playing with the Visalia High School. He was debarred from participation In the freshman game during his first season at college owing to a charge of professionalism, preferred by Stanford. His record was straightened out by the Pacific Athletic Union, how- ever, and he won his “C” as guard on the 1500 eleven, which was defeated by Stan- ford by the score of 5 to 0. He played the same position on the 1901 team which administered defeat to Stanford by the score of 2 to 0, and this year was largely responsible for the sixteen points which were piled up opposite the cardinal's goose egg. Weighing 1% pounds when in training and over six feet in height, Overall is a perfect specimen of an athlete. With his great weight and strength he combines ! a remarkable speed, which makes him an exceedingly hard mdn to stop when he is carrying the ball. His footwork is per- haps the most distinguishing feature about his playing. A 70-yard punt is not an unusual thing with Overall. His two goals from the field in the last game at- test his accuracy In kicking. CHEER THE VARSITY TEAM. Victorious Football Players’ Grand Reception at,Alumni Banquet. In honor of the victory over the Stan- ford eleven in the intercollegiate game, the Alumni Association of the University of California gave a dinner to the victori- ous “varsity”’ team last night at the Mer- Club. About 150 graduates and students of the university were present. From the chandeliers the university colors, the flags of blue and gold, bear- ing the name of the Golden State, ‘““Cali- fornia,” waved in triumph. The affair was one that will live long in the history of the Alumni Association. President 3 NEW CAPTAIN OF THE UNI- VERSITY OF CALIFORNIA FOOTBALL TEAM. Benjamin Ide Wheeler was a guest of honor. In the speeches and songs which folowed the dinner the story of the game, of Bobby Sherman’s great run and of Overall's wonderous place kicking and puating was retold again and again. The names of the gridiron heroes were re- celved with lusty cueers. Benjamin Ide Wheeler told the members of the Alumni Association how proud the university was of its football team. He congratulated the team on the splendid showing it made. He spoke of the sup- port which was accorded the team by the Alumni Association and also by the stu- dents of the university in gen- eral and prophesied that as long as the support continued the univer- sity teams would be victorious. -He sald that he was proud of the college spirit displayed by the students at Berkeley. 4Amid repeated cheers Captain Anderson told how his team took their opponents into camp. He described Sherman’'s great run and said that it was the magnificent interference formed by his teammates that enabled the speedy little halfback to Jand the ball behind the goal line. James ‘Whipple also spoke of the achievements of the men who fought for the blue and gold and Warren Smith added his praises. Harry Hudson was given a hearty recep- tion when he rose to speak, as was ‘Womble, who coached the team to vie- tory. Charles S. Wheeler, one of the univer- sity Regents, spoke of the time to come rank among the greatest institutions of learning in the world. He sald that in order to accomplish this men of the great- est minds in the world would have to be induced to Jjoin the faculty. He pald a glowing tribute to the college spirit dis- plared by the University of California students. ‘When Overall, the punting hero of this yezr's game and who has been chosen to captain next year’'s team. was called on to speak, he was given a reception that he will not soon forget. Overall predicted cessful again next year. LOVE AFFAIR LANDS WIDOW IN ASYLUM Bestows Her Affections Upon Mail Carrier Who Seeks Refuge in the Courts. SAN JOSE, Nov. 15.—The yearning for love of Mrs. M. E. Richards, a pretty widow, has been the cause of her incar- ceration in the Agnews Asylum. H. A. Butts, a former rural mall carrier, was the object of her affection, but refused to return it. Mrs, Richards had a home on Brooks avenue, where she resided with two daughters, aged 10 and 14 years. She is possessed of some money and property. Butts carried the mail to the Richards home, and his pleasant smile and cheery “Good morning” went straight to the widow’s heart. Her husband had been dead about seven years. When Butts quit his route a few weeks ago the love of the widow became stronger and she wrote him letters in which she called him her “Dear husband.” Since then she has annoyed him on the street and has been following him around. This annoved Butts and he had her arrested on a charge of in- sanity. Butts claimed that the widow not only insisted upon his marrying her, but de- clared that she threatened to kill him and burn him in her barn unless he married her. Mrs. Richards was examined before Judge Hyland and physicians to-day and committed to Agnews. Aside from the love -affair the woman appears to be per- fectly rational. She is about 40 years ol age.

Many years previous, just prior to a vislt to Ireland, Welch deeded the property to his sons in case he should die abroad. He returned a few years later, however, and sold the property in lots without hav- ing canceled the deeds to his sons. It is claimed now that the deeds executed to the scns were never revoked. Besides possession of the property an-accounting of all the rents for the past twenty years is asked for. The present owners of the property re- fused to settle with the heirs a short time ago when a demand was made. The whole tract is covered with residences. A long and bitter contest is promised.

PARIS, Nov. 16.—Leon Godefroy was walking along the sunny side of Boule- vard St. Michael the other day and stopped to light a cigarette. Suddenly his nose burst into flames, which spread to his beard. A crowd assembled and the | unfortunate Godefroy danced with pain until a policeman took him to a chemist’s | shop, where his burns were treated. An examination of the pyrotechnic nose showed that it was made of celluloid, an unscrupulous dealer having foisted it on his client instead of the horn nose prescribed when Godefroy lost his own nasal organ as the result of a street row. The match used to light his cigarette had set it afire. i TSR RAILROAD FROM SUNSET DISTRICT TO THE BAY LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15.—According to Major H. M.

OClark Recom- mended for Position in Colonial Government.. - BERKELEY, Nov. 15.—The fact that the agricultural department of the Uni- versity of California has attained general recogniticn for its work in agrarian sei- ence is attested by the fact that Profes- sor E.

SHIP JOHN ENA LOSES TWO MATES OVERBOARD Young San Franciscan Is Made Tem- porary First Officer of the Vessel. TACOMA, Nov. 15.—The ship John Ena, ‘which arrived to-day from Kobe, is minus the two mates who sailed on her from New York early this year. Her cargo comprised case oil for Kobe. When south- east of the Cape of Good Hope a storm shifted part of the cargo and she careened badly to one side. High waves rolled over the ship's deck. One caught the first mate and swept him into the sea. The second mate rushed to his assistance, only to be caught himseif and carried overboard. Captain Madsen was thus left without a mate and with his ship in a dangerous po- sition. By heroic efforts the cargo was placed back in position and the ship right- ed. As an experiment Captain Mansen made Clifford Stewart, a saflor, acting mate. Stewart shipped last year from San Francisco, his father being a news- paper man and formerly editor of the ex- tinct Tacoma Morning Union. Stewart picked up the ways of navigation rapidly and did his share toward piloting the Ena safely through four typhoons en- countered In the China SBea. On reaching Kobe Stewart was rewarded by being made second mate permanently. GREAT FIRE RAGES IN A PACKING PLANT Three-Quarters of a Million Dollars Lost in a Sioux City Blaze. SIOUX C€ITY, Iowa, Nov. 16.—Fire broke out In the Armour Packing plant at 12:45 o’clock this morning and has been burning flercely ever since.

Young | PUTS GAMBLING UNDER THE BAN Chief of Police Orders . That Betting on Horse Races Cease, Directs Patrolmen to Stop All Bookmaking and Pool- sslling. POSR Oakland Office San Francisco Cail, 1118 Broadway, Noy. 15. Chief of Police Hodgkins has ordered that all pool selling or bookmaking dur- ing the season of horseracing which open- ed to-day in San Francisco shall be pro- hibited in’ this city. The head of the Po- lice Department has directed the striet- est enforcement of the anti-pool-selling ordinance, and declares that patrolmen ‘will be heid responsible for violations of the law on their beats. To the end that the stand of the de- partment in the matter might be fully. understood by the saloon men, cigar deal- ers and others who contemplate running books on the races, Chief Hodgkins sald: “My Instructions to the policemen are definite and positive. Bookmaking and betting will not be tolerated. All violat- ors will be arrested and vigorously prose- cuted. The ordinance is plain and its pro- visions are ample to cover this form. of gambling, As long as it shall remain on the books it will be rigidly enforced. I purpose that this kind of gambling shall be kept dut of the city. “It {s demoralizing because of the smail amounts of the bets that are handled by the ‘ptking’ bookmakers.” So open have been the preparations of some of the “bookles” for handling busi- ness in Oakland during the racing sea- son that they have publicly advertised their places of business.
