An unexplained shooting that caused the rounding up by the police of a baker's dozen .of tramps at the rail- road yards at daybreak this morning took place shortly after midnight last night near the Sixteenth-street depot. A young boiler-maker, giving his name as John Furey, and who had beaten his way up from Los Angeles on the brakebeams of a freight train, was shot at from close range as he left the train at the depot. One bullet took effect in his right arm and a second missed him, the bullet imbedding itself in the car close to him. Furey says he is unable to account for the shooting. According to his statement he, with a friend, Alex- ander Kinny, was coming to Saen Francisco to get work. Just as they were about to alight at the end of their journey a man sitting on the bumpers ordered them to throw up their hands and at the same time began firing. In the darkness their assailant got away. Furey and Kinny were first taken to the Receiving Hospital and later to the jail.

Will Use Gasoline Engine to Develop Necessary Lift- ing Power. PRENITER Special Dispatch to The Call. SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 17.—Samuel H. Gilson, discovereg of Gilsonite and a leading coal operator, has perfected after thirty years of experiment, a ma- chine which he confidently believes will solve the problem of aerial navigation. The model of the machine has finally been completed and it works success- fully. Gilson belfeves that it will be possible for a party to go from here to the St. Louis World's Fair next year at a speed of 180 miles an hour. The pre- liminary work of organizing a company to build the machine and demonstrate its utility is now under way. A larger machine than the model will be built in a short time. To the fact that other inventors have depended on gas for their lifting power Gilson ascribes their faflure. In his machine gas is utilized only to neutral- ize the welght of the contrivance. The Gilson machine resembles the hull of a racing automobile, with a rudder at the prow. The car will be built of aluminum or rawhide and will be thirty feet long by ten wide. A depression will be made in the center for a gaso- line engine to develop eighty horse- power. A gas reservoir of 80,000 cubic feet capacity will be suspended over the | car. This will resemble in shape the | back of a whale, designed so the wind will under all circumstances strike at an angle. This, too, will be made of rawhide or aluminum. | The contrivance will be raised and | made to goar and its course will be di- rected by power furnished by the gaso- | line engine. On each side of the car| | will be three wings, or oblong blades, | each with a flat surface of eighteen | square feet, and each capable of one | beat per second. These from horizontal to vertical and return. | The first movement forces the car up- | ward. Little power will be required for | this, as the gas eliminates the factor of | dead weight. A four-blade propeller at | the back of the craft furnishes driving | | power. The steering apparatus is in | the bow, where long and thin aero- planes direct the course from left Yto | right, up or down. Passenger cars may be attached to‘ the locomotive car. A parachute at-| tachment is a part of the gas holder | and may be detached by pulling on a rope. will descend | | | —_————— DOLE TO TAKE FEDERAL JUDGE'S OATH TO-DAY Record-Breaking Number of Cases on the Calendar of His Court. | HONOLULU, Nov. —‘Sanlofll B.

The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Lilllan M. N. Stevens of Portland, Me.; corresponding secre- tary, Mrs. Susan M. D. Fry, lllinois; | recording secretary, Mrs. Clara M. Hoffman, Missouri; treasurer, Mrs. Helen M. Barker, Illinoi The discussion of resolutions took up the entire afternoon. The final form of the polygamy declaration was fixed | after an Oklahoma delegate objected to the proposition that no more States be admitted to the Union until an anti- polygamy amendment to the national | constitution has been adopted. Mrs. | Weed insisted that Senator Reed Smoot, as an elder in the Mormon | church, 1s under the most solemn obli- gation to uphold the doctrine and pur- poses of the Mormon church, which is | the overthrow of the United States | Government and the substitution of another Government, which is that of the Mormon church. The resolutions, as adopted, follow: | " “Since our work is one of the forma- | tion, as well as reformation, we stand | firmly for total abstinence for the indi- dual. ~Believing that the liquor trafiic is morally wrong and therefore can never be made legally right we oppose all forms of regulation and again pledge ourselves to endeavor to secure such | Jegislation as shall result in complete rohibition. p“W’c stand for an equal code of mor- als for women and men and emphatic- ally condemn every system for the reg- ulation of vice. % “We rejoice in the closing of the gates of the World’s Fair on Sunday and in other efforts being made to purify St. Louis. “We believe that all the women of the United States should vote on equal terms with men, as in Wyoming, Colo- rado, Idaho and Utah. “We believe that polygamy is both taught and practiced in the United States and that there is abundant proof to substantiate the claim that Utah has hreken faith with the United States in this matter.

There was no lack of loving tributes to the deceased in- structor and critic and the casket was buried under floral offerings from friends who held in high esteem the many qualities that went to make him foremost in the particular branch of English dramatic literature that was his special study. 1 Professors and students from the University of California, in which he formerly held a chair in English, were largely represented. His pallbearers were Professor Frank Soule, Professor A. F. Lange, N. Hamilton, E. J. Brown of the class of ‘98, Carl S. Hanson of the class of '99 and Vere Hinton of the class of '02. Besides the who bore his corpse those among his immediate associates in the college faculty who gathered to pay their last respects to his memory were Professors T. F. San- ford, C. W. Wells, C. B.

Dwelle, former pastor of the Afro- American Church in this city, com- menced an action of divorce to-day, al- leging that her husband had deserted her. He was horsewhipped in front of his church about a year ago by J. J. Leggett, who accused the pastor of u.n- due familiarity with his (Leggett's) wife. Dwelle did not wait for an in- vestigation, but left hurriedily, leaving his wife of a few months behind him. She stated that as soon as she had been here the required length of time she would begin the action just begun. Former City Electrician Louis E. Flemming has had an action for di- vorce Instituted against him by An- nette Fleming, who alleges that he has been unfaithful to her. There is a fair co-respondent in the case, who, Mrs. | Flemming says, she does not know, but | who, she alleges, was in the habit of | visiting her husband in his office in the | City Hall. She asks for $100 attorney’'s | fees, $25 a month alimony and the cus- tody of their child. This is not the first time the Flem- mings have appeared in the divorce court. They were first married in 1398 and a couple of years later she was lgrqmed a divorce. In 1901.they were | remarried. Now she would sever the | marriage ties for a second time. Flem- ) ming, up to a short time ago, was in | the employ of the Board of Public | Works as head electrician, but was re- cently discharged. Suit for divorce was begun to-day by Willis P.

Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Nov. 17. In order to still further meet the competition of the new ferry system the Southern Pacific Company put two additional fast trains on its local ser- vice this morning. No notice was given of the intended change and pas- sengers stood about the station won- dering what had happened. This makes four extra fast trains that the company has put on within a week in ,an attempt to meet the cut in time to and from the city by the new system. The first train left Berkeley station at 7:05 o'clock, ten minutes later than it had been doing under the old sched- ule. The second train left at 8:05 o'clock, ten minutes later than usual Both trains stopped at Dwight way, Ashby and Lorin stations and then made a quick run to the mole without making any more stops, connecting with the regular boat. The change is a welcome one to commuters. The first freight shipment on the Santa Fe road from Berkeley was made to-day at the point where the new local station is about to be built, University avenue and West street. It consisted of several carloads of grad- ing machinery belonging to the E. B. & A. L.
