CK,, Nov. 6.—Disorders were renewed late this eveningz. A mob paraded the streets, whistling and | catcalling and throwing fireworks under the feet of the horses of the gendarmes, who were attempting to disperse them. Reinforcements for the gendarmes finally arrived, scattered the rioters and closed the road to the Imperial Palace to all traffic. The body of the artist, Prezzey. who was stabbed through the heart with a bayonet during the rioting here the night of Novembe was buried this fternoon, Perfect order was main- ned. A strong force of gendarmes kept the route clear and large detach- ments of troops were held in reserve. The City Council had decided that the funeral should be at the public ex- pense and black flags were hung on all public buildings. The coffin was fol- lowed to the cemetery by the burgo- | master, members of the City Council, | the rector of the university, members | of the Academic Senate and students’| clubs carrying flags. After the funeral crowds promenaded the streets sing- | ing German patriotic songs. ROME BLAMES GERMANS. ROME, Nov. 6.—When Premier Gio- | litti came into power a year ago he| found the relations between Italy and ! Austria in a very disturbed condition | in consequence of the fact that anti-| Austrian demonstrations' had been tol- | erated by Signor Zanardellu, his pred cessor, who it is alleged winked at the | propaganda for the union with Italy of the Italian provinces that are still sub- | ject to Austria. & Signor Giolitti changed all this and ! assured Austria she had nothing to fear | from Italy. This was publicly empha- i by the meeting at Abazzia in| last of Signor Tittoni; the Italian ' ister of Foreign Affajrs, and Count Goluchowski, the Austrian Chancellor. However, Austria’s denial of the re-| quest of her Italian subjects for a na- | tional university at Trieste led up to| the troubles at Innsbruck, which have | endangered the good relations between | the two governments.

The Cabinets of Vienna and Rome | are doing what they can to smooth over | the difficulty. J MILAN SCENE OF CLASH. | MILAN, Nov. 6.—About 500 students to-day gathered in the center of the city erying “Down with Austria!” and called to the balcony of his hotel the Innsbruck correspondent of Il Corriere Della Sera, who had just arrived from that place after having been severely maltreated by Germans. Subsequently four Germans who were sitting in a cafe began singing ‘“The Watch on the Rhine.” Requests that they cease met with further insults and further decla- rations that the Italians were cowards. | A fight with sticks ensued and a num- ber were injured. The police restored order. | SICK WIFE RO BED, DESERTED Continued From Page 1, Col. gs and was told by the landlady that husband had left, taking with him x all of our personal property, leaving orly a few pieces of soiled linen that | belonged to me behind.

He fell in love | with a woman named Eloise Parker of | Chicago, but his wife persuaded him to ' give her up. He was proprietor of a machinery plant and was a successful | workman. The wife says Bowers was | a money-maker and always command- ed a good salary. She thinks that if he has really left her he has gone to Port- land, where he is acquainted. There is a chance of there being a | woman in the case. The disappearance of Mrs. Bowers' new clothing seems to bear out this theory. Detective Cole- | man, however, says he sees in the de- | velopments a conspiracy that had its birth in Chicago. The relatives of Mrs. Bowers were opposed to Harley Bowers | and urged his wife to leave him. Thev | were the custodians of a few thousands | that remained of her fortune, and re- fused to allow the husband to handle the money. “I think that it is another Soeder | case,” said Coleman When Bowers | found that he could not get the money | by peaceful means it was his intention | to kill her. Her kinsmen had her money when she was in Chicago and | they would not give it to him. so he put up a job to get her to come to; California. I think the brothers are on | their way to Portland and will be cap- | tured.” | The brothers are each about five| feet seven inches tall. and are dressed in dark suits of the same pattern and | make. Harley weighs about 150 pounds: Robert weighs about 165 poun: f CUT IN TWAIN BT ELYING oG | Logger Meets With an Awful Fate While Cutting Tim- | ber ina Washington Forest !

The log started down the hill di- | rectly toward the spot where Kelle and Shields had run, Kelle shouted to Shields to jump. Shields made an attempt to get out of the way of the log, but only jumped in its path. He l was struck by the log and cut com- pietely in two. IDENTIFY BODY FOUND IN CULCH Remains of Man Killed by Fall in South Are Those of Former San Franciscan Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 6.—A merchant to-day positively idez*ified the body of the man found In Rose Canyon Friday as that of Lawrence O'Brien, formerly of Santa Ana and a one time business man in San Francisco, where he con- ducted a drygoods store. The matron of the Helping Hand Home identified the remains as those of a man who had stopped at the home for two or three weeks and who had worked for Dr. Maria B. Averill, putting in lawns and doing odd chores. He was 60 years of age. Bowman, a workman at the Rose Canyon brick yards, testifiled, and his testimony was corroborated, that there ‘were three shots heard from the direc- tion of the canyon on the night preced- ing the finding of the body.

Results ascertained from about three-fifths of the constituencies show that the power of the extreme parties .has been diminished without, how- ever, materially augmenting the num- ber of Ministerial followers, as most of the new recruits are Conservatives, who may be expected to soon abandon Pre- mier Giolitti, a Liberal. Sonnino, the leader of the constitu- | tional opposition, has lost some of his | followers, owing to the fact that Milan, which formerly was represented by Ex. tremists, has elected two Conservatives, one Clerical and two Socialist Econo- mists, one of whom, Turati, was sup- ported even by non-Socialists. As Tu- rati, though a leader of the Social Econ- omists, condemned the general strike, his election is regarded as a reply to that strike. | Genoa, where the strike was most vio-' lent, overthrew the extremists. Ferri, the Socialist leader, in most of the forty constituencies gathered only | | a few votes. The Clericals voted almost everywhere for Conservative candi- dates. Further returns and second bal lotings next Sunday may considerably change the situation. KIDNAPED BABE RETURNS GROWY Little Girl, Taken From Her | Home in Maine Years Ago, FROM THIS CITY ?)Irs. Frank Cranford Given Joyful Welcome by Parent She Last Saw in Sixties Special Dispatch to The Call. BANGOR, Me., Nov. 6.—There was joy in the home of Richard S. Davis, ! in the town of Brewer last night when his daughter, Stella, now Mrs. Frank Cranford of San Francisco, crossed her ather’s threshold for the first time | since she was mysteriously kidnaped in | 1869, then a 3-year-old girl. At the time she disappeared the Da- vis family lived in Bangor. The kid- naping created great excitement at the time. Mrs. Cranford was so young when she was stolen that she has no recollection of the circumstance. She grew up with a family on the Pacific Coast, with which she was left. A long time after she was taken from her home, a relative of the family ac- cidentally discovered a clew which eventually led to the identification of tke lost child then grown - up. She married Frank Cranford of San Fran- cisco, who came East with his wife to visit her home and relatives. | Frank H. €ranford and his wife lived at 335 Tenth avenue and left for the FEast ten days ago. As they had only resided in that locality a short time the peighbors knew very little about them. Cranford was a carpenter by occupa- tion. o 4 ARSHIPS WILL COMPETE T0-DAY First Flight to Take Place for the Grand Prize of a Hundred Thousand Dollars e ST. LOUIS, Nov. 6.—Unless weather conditions prevent the greatest demon- stration of its kind in the history of the world will take place at the World's Fair beginning to-morrow. Housed in the aerodrome are five flying machines, embodying as many different princi- ples and varying in size from the mon- ster airship invented and built by Hip- polyte Francois of Paris, with its im- mense gas bag, containing 65,000 cubic feet of hydrogen gas, to the compara- tively small balloon belonging to A. L. Reynolds of Los Angeles, which when fully inflated has a capacity of only 2000 cubic feet. In principle of propulsion’the airships vary as widely as they do in size. Two of them come to the World's Fair with records of successful flights; one, the Baldwin ‘“‘California Arrow,” has dem- onstrated on two occasions that it is dirigible and not dependent upoh cur- rents of air for its momentum. To-morrow the first flight is scheduled for the contest for the grand prize of $100,000 offered by the exposition com- pany. The course is to be an L shape, the start to be made at the angle of the L and the length of the full course to be not less than ten miles nor more than fifteen. The number of trials allowed is unlimited, but each competitor must make the full course at least three times. The winning time shall be the average of the three best trips, provided that this average time be at least twen- ty miles an hour. Captain Baldwin will make a flight to-morrow or Tuesday. While his ma- chine will not cover the prescribed course as a contestant for the grand prize, Captain Baldwin will instruct Knabenshue, his navigator, to sail over an arranged course for a test of the speed. Upon the outcome of this trial will rest Captain Baldwin’s entry for the grand prize. SON KILLS FPATHER, WHO HAD ATTACKED MOTHER 'Shools Drunken Parent and Afterward Makes Assertion That It Was Accidental. DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 6.—Edward | Howard, a pattern maker, was shot and killed at his home here to-day by his son Arthur, aged 21. The elder Howard, who had been drinking, at- tacked his wife because she refused to give him money for more liquor. The daughter came to the mother’s rescue.

Carroll to celebrate the eleventh anniversary of the bii.a of their daughter Irene, who was reared on the physical culture plan. There was no cake at this birthday party—only raw wheat, raw vegetables, nuts and a smack of apple juice to let the little ones know the joys of life. There were no frivolous pastimes, such as clap in and clap out, postoffice and drop the handkerchief. Instead, the children amused one another with feats of strength and exhibitions of musculan skill. There were “jiu jitsu babies” and ‘“natural system babijes” and “apparatus system babies,” babies representing all of the dozen other sys- tems of physical culture. Not one had ever tasted of cooked food and all turned up their noses at candy. | Eight-yeariold Qdin Thomas, in trunks and jersey, in “strong baby” exhibitions, proved he was as strong as a l4-year-old boy who had just started in phvsical culture. ——ee————— MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE IS THE VERDICT OF JURY Twelve Men of Redding Find Waiter Guilty of Killing Fellow Em- ploye in Keswick. REDDING, Nov. 6.—Thomas Ways- man, who killed Patrick Philbin at Keswick on July 16 last, was found guilty this morning of murder in the second degree. The jury made a rec- ommendation for mercy. Philbin was a cook at a company boarding-house in Keswick. Waysman was employed there as a waiter. The two quarreled repeatedly and finally as the result of a quarrel the cook was killed by Waysman. The prisoner ! claimed the cook approached him with some rags in his hand that he believed concealed a revolver and that he shot to save his life. | Gang of Mail-Box Thieves. { SAN DIEGO, Nov. 6.—A gang of | mail-box thieves is operating in this city.

Goes Back Married Woman | LSON'S MARKET, 911-913 Market St. MARIE TEMPEST IN A NEW PLAY She Appears in a Drama of Domestic Life, in Which Divorce Court Figures PARIS ENJOYS DICKENS Paderewski Finds Demand for Autograph So Great That He Now Retails It LONDON, Nov. 6.—Marie Tempest is still under the management of Charles Frohman, and if London likes “The Freedom of Suzanne,” as her new plece is called, Americans will see it as soon as the English run is over. This play is in three acts and tells the story of a young wife, who has just obtained a divorce from her husband. Not for any reason of great seriousness, main- ly, in fact, for the sake of “liberty.” Hardly, however, has her complaisant husband been got rid of and the “free- dom of Suzanne” obtained than that lady begins to sigh for the yoke again. And, needless to say, the end of the play finds her back in it, but only after happenings that should provide con- siderable amusement. This, by the way, is Marie Tempest's fourth venture since she said good-by to light opera and blossomed out as a comedy actress. She made her debut in “English Nell,” the Nell Gwynne vlay which Anthony Hope made out of his novel, “Simon Dale.” Then she appeared as Becky Sharp in the drama- tization of “Vanity Fair” made by Robert Hichins, and with so much suc- cess that she needed no mew piece for a year or more, when she scored again in “The Marriage of Kitty,” which ran for 350 nights in London before being taken to the United States. * b Since he gave us that brightly writ- ten musical comedy, “Thres Littla Maids,” Paul Rubens has been heard from only as the author of certain “ad- ditional numbers” for works from other pens. In collaboration with Colonel Newnham-Davis, however, he has been working on a new piece, which is now finished and about to be produced by George Edwardes. It is called “The Mischief Maker,” and will be given at the Prince of Wales Theater- Colonel Newnham-Davis, known heretofore chiefly as an amusing writer about res- taurants and their patrons, is the lat- est son of Mars to turn his attention to the stage, thus following in the footsteps of Captain Marshall and Cap- tain Basil Hood. MORE GLOOM FROM GORKI. Maxim Gorki's new play, “Summer Visitors,” which the Russian drama- tist has just been reading to his friends, may be given in London eventually by some courageous soul, but it is not likely. For although across the North Sea they seem to en- Joy somber plays, English folk do not and Gorki’s newest piece is even gloom- jer than his other works. The “Sum- mer Visitors” are the better classes of Russian society, who, says the play- wright, are like holiday makers in the country, always on the lookout for fresh fields and new excitements. Gorki declares that the life lived in these circles is like a bog which smothers all the living strength of the rising gener- ation. Unlike those in Gorki's other pieces, the people of this one are all society folk. The heroine is a young girl whe tries to reform her friends, but who succumbs in the struggle which she has undertaken. There is a typical Gorki scene, in which, from her dying bed, this girl gives a sort of lecture to her relatives on the “canker gnawing at Russian soclety,” and implores them to renounce their fast life. The piece will be given at the St. Petersburg Dramatic Theater. Gorki’s friends are said to have been much impressed with its power. CHARGES FOR AUTOGRAPH. Paderewski has begun to charge money for his autograph. The pianist is ncw in Australia, but he writes to a friend here that “the percentage of autograph hunters is larger in the An- tipodes than in any other part of the world.” So, not long ago, he deter- mined to charge his Australian admir- ers half a crown, or sixty cents, aplece for his autograph and he says that he means to devote the proceeds to the Chopin memorial fund at Warsaw. “Le Grillon du Foyer” is a long way from suggesting Dickens to the non- linguistic Anglo-Saxon, but that is the title under which an adaptation of “The Cricket On the Hearth™ is being given at the Paris Odeon. This Dickens play, in which Toole made one of"his greatest successes and which Arthur Bourchier revived in London last winter, is at this writing delighting crowded houses at the Latin quarter theater. Janvier plays Caleb Plummer and Mlle. Sylvie is little Dot. Both® are capital, and incidéntal music by Masscnet adds greatly to the success of the piece. One of Arthur Paterson’s novels, “The King’s Agent,” has just been drama- tized by Edward Rose, whose play will be given in London soon after Christ- mas. Tel. South 223. For salads and cooking.
