BERKEL Oct. 13.—A dozen Greeks from San Francisco came to the Greek Theater at the university to-day to witness the “Ajax” rehear- sals. One of them, an old man of im- pressive appearance, was in his youth 2 model for “Jupiter” of Paris. A score or more Greeks from the Grecian colony in San Fran- cisco have arranged to attend the “Ajax” performance next Saturday. Rehearsals for “Ajax” continue successfully, in spite of the severe loss the play has sustained from the ill- ness of Miss Barrows. Much had been accomplished before Miss Bar- ro caught her cold (which has since developed into a severe conges- tion of the lungs), and the zeal and energy of the other actors, and of Professor J. T. Allen, who succeeds Mijss Barrows in the management, promise to make good most of the deficiencies. Dewing is an ideal Ajax. Keane is known as one of the best actore in college, and the part of Tec- messa will not suffer in his hands, in spite of the very short time he has had for practice. The other parts are well taken, two -or three of them no- tably so. The costumes and accessories, brought by Miss Barrows from the East, are rich and beautiful, and the stage pictures will not soon.be for- gotten by those who see them. In general, though the iliness of Miss Barrows is lamentable, yet the young actors feel that if she should by great good fortune be able to drive to the theater on BSaturday morning she would not be ashamed of the perform- ance. ———— Says Engineer Used Fists, OAKLAND, Oct. 13.—E.

BERKELEY, Oct. 13.—Many Ma- scns of Berkeley crossed the bay to- night to witness the formal institution of the new Berkeley lodge, F. and A. M., which yesterday was granted a charter by the Grand Lodge, now in session in San Francisco. The new lodge has been working under dispen- sation, granted by Grand Master Nut- ting.

The nominees are: Fred Booth, Supervisor Second District; Paul de Martini, Supervisor = Fourth District; J. D. Wightman, Supervisor Fifth District; A. L.

All university exercises will be suspended at that hour.

BERKELEY, Oect. 13.—An explo- sion of a chemical mixture made up of phosphorus and nitrogen so injured the eyes of Charles Dozier this morn- irg, while he was engaged in the min- ing department of the university, that he will be incapacitated for work for scme time. Dozier is an assistant in the department. The explosion oc- curred just as he was bending over a vessel containing the mixture, and thus he received the flying stuff squarely | in the face. e R e N T S Declare for Open Shop.

Because it was proven that he had in- | 1 he might be free to marry another { woman, M. F. Grove, former pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church South of Visalia, was dropped from the min- istry and membership in the church to- day. The decision was at a conference at Ashbury Church, this city. The ex- pulsion of Grove was made final by the { unanimous vote of the pastors of sixty- four churthes. The action of the conference was the result of an apgeal by Grove from the verdict of expulsion rendered by the Fresno Distriet Conference, which was sustained by the annual conference in July of this year. The case dates back to 1802, when Grove's first wife was granted a dlvorce from him on the grounds of cruelty and desertion. A year later Grove married again, and shortly afterward charges of immor- ality were preferred against him. They were sustained by the Fresno District Conference. Grove appealed and his case was tried at the meeting of the annual confer- ence on January 14, 1904 The verdict of the district conference was sus- tained. Then Grove appealed to the present conference, with disastrous re- sults. After the appeal had been read the Rev. J. A. Batchelor of San Joaquin district, who acted as president at both the former trials, reviewed the case. He sald that the trials had been fair and that he could see no reason why the verdicts should not be sustained. At the close of Mr. Batchelor's address the Rev. J. J. N. Kenny of Fresno made a strong argument in favor of denying the appeal. In conclusion he said: This is a time when the church camnot af- ford to temporize on this question. The ecase with which divorces are secured threatens the home life of the nation. The nine men who tried this case are men of integrity and intel- ligence, who love thefr homes, and they say that the accused is not 'a fit man to present the gospel. We cannot afford to taks any other action, Grove was present when the appeal was read and the vote taken, but he took no part in the proceedings and made no comment on the decision. The following committee and confer- ence boards were appointed to-day: Bupplies—W. P. Baird, Oakland; D. Harri- son, Booneville; P. C. Fletcher, Alameda: Z. P. Miliington, Yorkeville and Hopland; O.

MARKS END OF OUTING Woman Shot as She Alights From a Buggy. Leaden Mlsswe From Lover’s Weapon Ends Mrs. En- gelberger’s Life. Ernest N. Bales Says Shooting Was Accidental and Polica Believe His Story. Mrs. Annie Engelberger, a divorced woman, 35 years old, swiftly bled to death in front of her home, 50 Portola street, shortly after 10 o'clock last night. The woman died from the ef- fects of a pistol wound which pierced the femoral artery. - Whether she was shot to death by her lover, Ernest N. Bales, or dled as the result of an acci- dent remains to be proved. Bales is in custody and tells a straight story of accidental shooting, which the police believe. The death of the woman was tragic as well as dramatic. She had been out riding with Bales during the after- noon, and shortly after 10 o’clock the coupje returned to the woman's home, where they had been living to- gether for several months as husband and wife. . According to- Bales’ tale Mrs. Engelberger stepped out of the rig and he was about to follow her when his 45-caliber revolver fell from the inside pocket of his overcoat and hit the curbstone. The weapon was discharged, the bullet striking the unfortunate woman in the femoral artery. She fell to the ground with a shriek of pain and Bales quickly ran to her assistance. A physician was summoned, but his efforts to save the life of the woman were futile, for she passed away in half an hour without regaining con- sciousness. Dr. Louis C.

He was standing across the street nearly opposite where the trag- edy took place, and when he heard the shot he hastened to the woman's as- sistance. Dr. Jacobs did not see how it happened. He said: ~ “I was standing across the street when the couple drove up and heard the report of a revolver. I hastened to the scene and found the woman lying in a pool of blood on her door- step with Bales standing over her, try- ing to stop the flow of blood with the palm of his hand. She was uncon- scious and failing rapidly. “We took her inside the house and I made a hasty examination. I discov- ered that the bullet had entered the lower part of the abdomen, ranged up- ward and then made its exit through the lumBar region. Death was caused from internal and exteérnal hemor- rhages. The woman was too far gone to make a statement and did not re- gain consciousness.” The police at the Park station were notified and Bales was taken there and later to the Central station. He broke down and wept like a child. The man was visibly affected and presented a pitiful sight as he sat in a cell and told the story of the tragedy. ““We intepded to be married in a few months,” said Bales, “and were discus- sing our wedding while out driving. ‘We were both in cheerful spirits when we reached the house. Mrs. Engel- berger alighted from the buggy first and I started to follow her. My gun fell out of the inside pocket of my over- coat and was discharged when it hit the curb. The bullet struck Mrs. En- gelberger in the abdomen, and she sank back in a pool of blood. She fainted away and died soon after the doctor arrived on the scene.” The police believe Bales’ story. They have no evidence that he killed the woman and no one ever knew of any quarrel occurring between them, al- though ‘they have hmn'llvlns together for many months.
