Heavy damage is probable STUDENT KILLED STUDE - Frank Allen, a student at the Lick School of Mechanical Arts, was acci- dentally killed yesterday afternoon by a hammer thrown by Arnold Brown, a fellow student. The heavy leaden mis- struck the boy’s skull near the base, crashing through the bone. He was taken to the Central Emergency Hos- pital, where he died without regaining consciousness. What makes the tragedy most pitiful is that Allen was the only son of his mother, a widow. Mrs. Allen arrived at the hogpital just a few moments be- fore her boy passed away. Her grief was terrible. Her cries chilled ‘the hearts of all whe heard them. At- taches, hardened to the sight of death sle | | i { | { in ugly forms and to the sound of sob- | bing, could not bear to hear the moth- er's broken-hearted cry. Mrs. Allen lost her husband when Frank was a baby of 2 years. Ever since that time she has struggled to keep her son with her and to give him an education. He was all she had to live for. He grew from a prattling baby to a merry, sturdy boy. Every day she grew more proud of him. It was worth the struggle and the self-sacrifice to| have such a son. When she grew old she would have his sturdy arm to lean upon, HE WAS GRATEFUL. Some day I will pay “Wait! you | | back for what you have done for me,” | he would say. And she would stroke his head while tears of pride filled her | eve: {in_him. | Yesterday morning he | Good-bye and with his books under his arm hurried out of the gate on his way | to school. She watthed him till he dis- | appeared with the wistful mother love in her eyes. In the afternoon she received a mes- sage that chilled-fer with terror. Her boy was hurt and she must come to | the hospital immediately. With all the fervor .of her soul she prayed as | she hurried to his bedside. | *“No, oh, God, no,”” she muttered, “It ! cannot be that. He is all I have. Surely you will not take him from me. When she reached the hospital she read the awful truth in the doctor's |face. A plercing shriek, a broken- | hearted mother's cry rang through the wards. She tried to speak, but, though her ashen lips -moved, sound came from them. She tottered to where her idol lay. | His head was swathed in a bloody bandage and his breath was a forced | gurgle. The end was very near. | “Frank,” she moaned, “oh, my boy! | You cannot die! Oh, God, you can- not let him dle!” NO ANSWER CAME. But the still form on the bed made no | reply. He would” never speak again. | SBhe pressed her lips to his cheek, but ! he did not know. He would never feel | her encircling arms again. | She prayed as only an agonfzed { mother can pray, but hi# breath grew | more labored, and he hung limp in her |arms. The gasping ceased and the self-sacrificing widow was alone in the world. . They tried to take her away, but she refused to leave the inanimate thing that was her boy. When they took him away in the rude coffin her sobs be- came wilder, and it was feared that she { would loose her reason. | Arnold Brown, who threw the mis- sile that killed the boy, was arrested shortly after the occurrence. “He was later released on $25 bail. The affair was purely accidental. Brown was practicing throwing the | hammer in the athletic grounds near | the school. He flung the missile over | the fence and it struck Allen upon the head. Brown is the son of Brainerd C. Brown of Alameda. | , Frank Allen was 17 years old, He has been living with his mother at 1422 Turk street. ALAMEDA, April 4—Brainerd C. Brown, the father of Arnold Brown, said for his son to-night: Arnold and some classmates were practicis with an athietic hammer when the accident occurred. Arnold had thrown the hammer so | far that it went over’a fence, striking Allen | on the head. My son did not see Allen at the | fime and 1d not know what had occurred un- | ¥ some time afterward. aceldent was all the more distressing because Allen and my gon were close friends. The Lick School and the police ~authorities investigated and both Pronounced the case as whoily accidental. ¥ God had given her a great comfort | no | Kkiszed her | | 1 | | SPOTTED Procession Cheers as It on River to Turn Turtle; Marches Past Em_peror - TOKIO, April 5.—The grofits from the tobacco monopoly for the first year are 27,000,000 yen (about thirteen million and a half dollars). This exceeds the Government’s estimates by 7,000,000 yen. The celebration of the victory at Mukden, which had been postponed un- til last Monday, owing to a storm, oc- curred to-day. The business men and labor guilds to-day arranged an enor- mous procession which, picturesquely garbed, formed at Hibiya Park and marched to Uyeno Park. Passing the palace each unit halted and cheered the Emperor and his Cabi- net and the commanders of the army and navy. Exercises were held in Uyeno Park, where there was a large crowd. Lieutenant General Terauchi, Minis- ter of War, responded in behalf of the army and Baron Yamamoto, Minister of the Navy, in behalf of the navy. Fireworks and sports concluded the ex- ercises. e SAKHAROFF USES THE HAMMER. Says Kuropatkin Was Outgeneraled in Mukden Battle. ST, PETERSBURG, April 4.—War Minister Sakharoff, in an interview to- day, declares that the reports of Rus- sia countermanding orders for war material abroad are baseless and grow | out of the declination of foreign offers with which the War Office and Ad- miraity have been swamped. He in- sists that there has been no relaxa- tion in the preparations to continue the war, but says there will be no new mobilization at present, explaining, as stated in these dispatches, that 140,- 000 troops of the last mobllization have already started for the front, and that instead of mobilizing new troops these will be followed by a portion of this year's conscripts. General Sakharoff denied emphati- that he ever intrigued against Kuropatkin, affirming that he gave the latter the most loyal support. At the same time, in discussing the battle of Mukden, Sakharoff declared the men and material of the Russian army were equal to those of the Japanese, forcing the reluctant canclusion that the Japanese generalship was superior to the Russians. 2 obillnl? (S ONLY A WAR “FAKE." No Truth in Report of an Explosion at Harbin. HARBIN, April 4.—There is no truth in the report that the explosion of a bomb on Monday in the artillery depot here killed seventy-five men. FEVER SERN WANTED Epecial Diepatch to The Call, NEW YORK, April 4—Two facts of great importance came to light to-day in connection with the inquiry of the New York meningitis commission into the present epidemic. First—The commission has found by laboratory experiments that there is a variation between the type of so- called meningitis germs in this epi- demic and the hitherto supposed nor- mal type of meningitis germ. This foct has been communicated to the commission by one of the leading members—Professor E. K. Dunham— who has oversight of the bacteriologi- cal investigation. Second—It has been found that all ordinary animals used in laboratory work are immune to meningitis germs. Guinea pigs and rabbits for instance, show no bad effects when they are in- oculated. This is true of many other animals and the commission is in a dilemma at the very outset of its search for.meningitis antitoxin. So far, the only animals which have been successfully inoculated are mice, which are too small for practical use in sup- plying serum. Professor Simon Flexner - of = the Rockefeller Institute, is in charge of the search for a serum. ———ee TWO AMERICANS INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT ABROAD Frank Stevens and Louis Hay Badly Hurt in Motor Car Smashup Near Monte Carlo.

There { is not much that can be said about my | defeat; the figures tell the story. ! NOT A PERSONAL VICTORY. | “Party lines and personalities of can- | | didates were entirely forgotten in to- \day's election,” said Judge Dunne to- night. “Municipal ownership was the| one great issue before the people of | | Chicago, and the returns show very | | plainly how the majority feel toward ithe private ownership of public utm-’ | ties. It is the greatest victory munici- | i pal ownership ever won in this coun- | i try. ! i “Every pledge that I made during the | campaign will be kept. Chicago wants :municipal ownership, and during my | | tenure of office it will be my aim to | bring about such a condition as rapidly L | as possible. I will appoint a corps of ! | engineers to make a survey of all the | | street railways in the city, so that we | | will know just how the city, when it} | secures control of the lines, will be able1 | ta handle the proposition. ! “I believe that before many months we will se¢ the city of Chicago owning and operating at least one street rail- way line. The traction question depends in a great measure on the action of the courts, but in the case where legal ! proceedings are pending I will endeavor [to bring about ap immediate settle-| ment. | “It will be vears béfore the city will | | come into possession of all the street i railway franchises in Chicago, but we | | will gradually assume control of the | different lines, and I believe the day, { will come when the people will control | the entire street railway system of this | | city.” . | | —_— | i ELECTIONS IN KANSAS. | | Unexpected Democratic Victoriés in | Several Cities, | KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 4—Elec- j tions were held in the larger cities of | !
