Levels Pistol at Intruders, Who Slink Away Into the Gloom. e Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Sept. 22. Professor Walter E. Magee, director of physical culture at the University of Call- fornia, had a bloodless encounter with burglars this morning at his residence, 1730 Haste street. He did not get near enough to grapple with them or take any chances with his own life, but he stood by with a big pistol and sent the burglars into flight with stentorian words of com- mand. . Professor Magee was awakened at the very darkest hour this morning by a | noise in the yard just beneath his win- dow. Securing his pistol, he hurried to | the window and looked down upon two men sitting on the fence. The fence was near a kitchen window and it was evident the fellows were about to force their way into the house. But they didn't get that far, for just then Professor Magee leveled his pistol at them and called upon them 1o explain their presence. The men re- plied that they had got into the wrong place by mistake and without any unnec- sary waste of time slunk off into the gloom. The would-be burglars are supposed to be the same who have been robbing resi- dences and business houses around town lately. —_———— | Prevent Steamer From Unloading.

Prospect Brighter for Final Agreement Upon Dis- puted Rules. e ST. PAUL, Sept. 22.—Negotlations be- tween the officials of the Great Northern [ and the firemen and engineers are prac- tically at a standstill, as the officials of | the road have denied the requests of the men and rescinded grants made at pre- vious meetings. Grand Master Hanrahan of the Locomotive Firemen and J. J. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Engineers, held a conference this after- noon with the raliroad officials. The lmeefln‘ between the labor leaders and the gemeral manager and general super- intendent of the Great Northern did not develop any marked change in the situa- tion. None of those taking part in the negotiations would make any formal statement as to the status of affairs fur- ther than to say that there would be a| resumption of negotiations to-morrow morning. It is understood, however, from authoritative sources that the prospects for a peaceful settlement are much bright- er to-night than they were considered be-| fore this afternoon’s conference. The ac- tion of the company officials in with- drawing their assent to the amendments | {to the rules previously granted at the | request of the grievance committee an- gered the men and some of them were in favor of taking an immediate poll of | the locals on the question of a strike. | The presence of the grand officers, how- | ever, served to relleve the tension and | negotiations were resumed, and it is said a disposition is shown to reach a peaceful | compromise. No detailed statement of what the men ask could be obtained either from the company officials or from the men them- selves. Their demands comprise, how- | ever, both a new wage schedule and sev- | eral changes in the working rules.

The tackling of criminals calls for many qualities, but it is after the arrest of a suspected criminal, says T. P.'s Weekly, that the most subtle part of the French detective’s art is called into play. The French authorities do not consider a case against an accused man complete. unless he has actually confessed his gulit, and it i8 to the agents of the Surete that the magistrates look to obtain this conclusive proof. A detective makes friends with the prisoner, pretends to sympathize with him in his trouble and tells him that it will certainly ease his mind if he makes a clean breast of the whole affair. Or he works on his feelings by kindness. It is usual at the Surete to give the prisoner a g0ood lunch and to take advantage of his resultant expansiveness to get him to talk. It may be remarked that though prisoners are led to believe that their confession will be taken into account by the Judges and jury in apportioning sen- tence, in practice the contrary is the case. The man who confesses is lost. This fact prompted a notorious murderer named Avinain to address to the public at his execution this supreme recommendation, ‘‘Gentlemen, never confess!''—Baltimore Herald. —_——— TOPEKA, Kans., Sept. 22.—The Smith County officers have not yet succéeded in ap- prehending Thomas Madison, the su murderer of three women in that county last Tuesday night. | preme soveretgn of GVES S LIt COMPANION Mine Superintendent Dies in Trying to Save Manager. A Two Men Are Overcome by Foul Air While on Tour of Inspection. B B BUENA VISTA, Colo., Sept. 22.—Colonel B. F. Morley, manager of the Buena Vista smelter and of the Mary Murphy mine at Romley, and Adolph Abrahamson, superintendent of the mine, were Kkilled | by foul air when making an fnspection of the mine workings last night. Their bodles were recovered to-day. It is supposed that the air in the mine had been vitlated by powder gas. The property fs not operated at night and there were no other men in the mine when Morley and Abrahamson were making thelr tour of inspection which resulted fatally. Colonel Morley was about fifty years of age and had a wife and six children, one of whom, a son, is attending college at Chester, Pa. Morley came to Buena Vista in 1849, sinfe which time he has been prominently identifled with the smelter and mining industries In the district. From the position of the bodies when found it appeared that Abrahamson had been carrying Morley after he lost con- sciousness and had made a desperat struggle to reach fresh alr with his hu man load. In all probability Abrahamson could have saved himself had he not made this heroic effort to rescue his companion. | L e e e e ol RO3H HOSHANA KEPT BY JEWS Hebrew New Year Fit- tingly Observed by Services.

Rumor That Kitchener Will Succeed Brodrick Is Revived. SR S LONDON, Sept. 22.—Premier Balfour is apparently meeting considerable difficulty in the task of reconstructing his Cabinet. It is sald that Wyndham has been offered the choice of several portfolios, but has declded to remain Chief Secretary for Ireland. Owing to the decision that the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps of War Secretary Brodrick’'s scheme shall not be constitut- ed, because of the lack of necessary re- cruits, it is reported that General Hunter, who was nominated for the command of the Sixth Corps, is to be transferred to India, to command either the Bombay or Madras district. This has led to renewed rumors that General Hunter will succeed Lord Kitchener as commander in chief in India and that the latter will be called home to succeed Brodrick as Secretary of ‘War. All this, however, is merly speculation. Much public feeling has been displayed against appointing Brodrick to the India office and it is believed the difficulty cen- ters in providing a Secretary for War | and a Secretary for India. Arthur D. Elljot, who has just resigned he Financlal Secretaryship of the Treas- ury because of his disagreement with | | Premier Balfour's finance views, writing | |to one of his constituents in Durham City, says he is in complete agreement with the free trade views of ex-Chancel- lor of the Exchequer Ritchie, who found it impossible to hold office any longer in | a Government which Is tending steadily | toward a policy of protection. He could | not remain in office, he says, without an entire loss of self-respect. The time has arrived, he continues, when the electors must decide for or against the policy of taxing imports of food which, though de- ferred for the moment, will be the ulti- mate issue. Regarding retaliation and fiscal free- dom, Elliot agrees with Premier Balfour's pamphlet that the Government should be free to consider cases as they arise on their merits and take such action as it | considers right, subject to the approval of Parliament. In conclusion, he writes that he hopes to retain the confidence of his constituents at the general election which ‘“‘cannot be | far distant.” —————— PRESBYTERIAN SOCIETY HOLDS LARGE MEETING Interesting Talks Are Given Upon the Subjects of the Anatomy of Home Missions. | The semi-annual meeting of the Home Presbyterial Society was held yesterday in the parlors of the First Presbyterian Church, L The attendance was large.

INCHIGIED EARS Dr. David Levine of New York Makes a Statement. bl G R Says Jews Would Not Ac- cept Christ Should He Come Again. R o SR Epecial Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 22.—In an inter- view the Rev. Dr. David Levine, a rabbi of New York, took emphatic exception to the recently published statement of Dr. Hirsch of Chicago, who said that the Jews to-day would accept Christ were he to return to earth. “If Christ should come again,” said Dr. Levine, “the Jews would certalnly not ac- cept him. Dr. Hirsch of Chicago is mis- taken, because the Jewish world would look upon Jesus in the flesh to-day just as they did in old Judea nineteen hundred years ago. We are a conservative peo- ple and always have been. Moses was stoned and only received by the people of Palestine after many protestations. If ‘we found it hard to accept Moses, how ut- terly impossible would Jesus be, for he did not represent Judalsm." “The amalgamation of the races and the acceptance of a common creed is a fine theory, but it is chimerical, even fantastic. The Jewish church is not grow- ing—except in America by immigration. We do not proselyte and we do not wel- come converts. The Semitic and Aryan races are apart and can never fuse. Cen- turies of persecution have only strength- ened the people of Israel in their faith and they will never accept a union with their oppressors. “The Zionist movement is ‘a popular demonstration of the feeling which per- vades the Jews everywhere. We want some spot upon the earth which we can own and govern—some refuge for our Palestine 1s our home, the best of all lands to us, and we are golng in the end to possess it as we did in the days of old. “The Jews are a poor people in spite of the popular idea to the contrary, but from far and near are coming contributions to the fund for redeeming the land of thelr fathers. WILL DENOUNGE BOARD OF TRADE Business Men Disagree With Its Franchise Policy. ALAMEDA, Sept. 22.—With all the dis- cussions of the railroad franchises at cau- cuses, conferences, meetings and mass meetings, there are still those who be- lieve that certain phases of the agitation have not yet been brought out and among the residents holding that view are a number of the Park street business men | not affiliated with the Board of Trade. Twelve of these to-day issued the fol- | lowing call for a meeting of the mer- chants and tradesmen of Alameda: We, the undersigned merchants and trades- men in the city of Alameda, belleving that an erroneous impression prevalls among our fel- low-citizens respecting our attitude on the city ees at this time, and desiring to correct said false im- pression as soon as possible, hereby request the merchants and tradesmen of our city to meet in Eureka Hall, in the Masonic Temple, corner of Park street and Alameda avenue, on Thursday, the 2ith inst. at 8 o'clock p.'m.

In the notice the “‘questions before our City Trustees” means the two applica- tlons for franchises for local steam roads filed by the Southen Pacific Company with the municipal legislators. The signers of the call feel that much has been said and done in their name during the agi- tation that they were not responsible for and in no way approved. Their purpose is to dispel the general impression that a majority of the merchants of Alameda are in accord with the tactics adopted by the Board of Trade in its fight against the granting of the franchises to the Southern Pacific Company and with the treatment of the City Trustees by that organization.

COMPELS PRAISE Comedy Wins Abundant Applause on Stan- ford Stage. R i Ideas of Elizabethan Times Carried Out to the Letter. = SN G L h to The Call. Special Disp: STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 22— In striking contrast to the solemnity of last night's préduction of “Everyman” by Ben Greet's company was the lightness of “Twelfth Night,” presented by the same players in Assembly Hall to-night. Though the attendance was perhaps smaller than at the presentation of “Everyman,” yet the reception accorded “Twelfth Night” was fully as enthusias- tic as that given to the morality play and was evidenced by the full measure of laughter and applause that the comedy drew forth. This was the first production on tfe coast of “Twelfth Night” by the Froh- man company. “Twelfth Night" was given in its entirety as written by Shake- speare, and the idea of the Elizabethan stage was carried out to the letter. The action was continuous; at no time did the curtain intervene to show the change of scene. The orchestra, dressed in Elizabethan costumes, and stationed in the balcony, fllled in the breaks n the action with music in keeping with the staging of the play. The stage itseif appeared the same in the foreground as in “Everyman,” but in the back tapestries of ancient pattern supplanted the monastery walls used in the morality play. Two “Beef-eaters,” as they are called, dressed in red and carry- ing battle-axes, stood guard at the end of the stage. Mrs. Crawley as Viola was fully as fascinating as in the title role In “Every- man.” Her resonant voice souhded to good advantage in the difficult double part of Viola and Catsarfo. Her counter- part, Sebastian, brother of Viola, was cleverly acted by Mrs. C. Arthur Collins. Ben Greet, however, was the fayorite with the audience. His portrayal of the pomp- ous concelt of Malvolio drew forth rounds of merited applause. Scarcely second to the hit made by Ben Greet was the suc- cess scored by Robert Smiley as Sir Toby Belch. Two scenes in the play stood out most prominently for their clever execution. The first was that in Olivia’s home, when Bir Toby and Sir Andrew, deep In their cups, disturbed the household and brought forth Malvolio clad in night attire. The second was at the gathering of the mirth- ful conspirators after the ruse with the forged letter had been successfully work- ed on Malvolio. The joy and laughter of the players in the latter scene proved so contagious that the laughter and ap- plause of the audience quite drowned the mock mirth of the actors. The cast of characters was as follows: Duke Orsino, John Sayer Crawley; Sebastian, Beatrice Whitney; Antonio, Clive Currie; Val 11 ¥ ch, Ro Aguecheek, Robert Halford Forst: Ben_Greet; Fabian, C. Arthur C a clown, Anderson; & "8 : Viola, Constance Marta, Margaret Bueklin. he completion of the play the audi- ence rose and applauded continuously un- Dallas ; Olivia, priest, H. til the plavers reappeared. Ben Greet in thanking the assemblage sald: “] want to thank you heartily on be- half of myself, my company and Mr. Frohman for the royal welcome extended us, and I commend Stanford University in its endeavor to foster the drama.” PERSONAL MENTION.
