Maddrill, fellow in the Lick Observatory. An- { nouncement of this feat was made by the university authorities to-day. The orbit of the comet f question ‘was computed from an observation by the discoverer of the heavenly body, Giacobini of Nice, Italy, and two ob- servations secured on March 27 and March 30 by Dr. Aitken at the Lick Obseravtory. The original discovery was made by Giacobini on March 26. The results involved in the measure- ment of this newly “discovered comet were produced at the University of California by a new and as yet unpub- lished method of Professor Leuschner, which is an adaptation of his more geén- eral method to the direct computation of a parabola. The time during which the comet has been under observation is too brief, according to the university scientists, to decide whether the orbit is periodic. A parabola, however, say these astron- omxers. satisfles the observations very well, Dr. Crawford and Mr. Maddrill find that the comet passed its perihelion on April 8, at a distance of some 104,000,- 000 miles from the sun. The nearest distance of 66,000,000 miles to the earth occurred on March 28. s This new comet is now receding from the sun and the earth, and by April 15 its brightness will have diminished to seven oné-hundredths of its original brightness on March 26. The comet is traveling northeast at the rate of about one and five one-hundredths de- grees per day through the constellation Gemini. The inclination of its orbit to the eliptic is forty-one degrees, the lon- gitude of is ascending node.is 157 de- grees. and the arc from the vernal equirox to perihelion is 358 degrees. From these data the positions of the comet up to' Aprii 16 have been calcu- lated and the positions have been tele- graphed to other observatories. e comet, while very faint and difficult to observe, was seen with the six- inch equatorial by Dr. Crawford on the evening of March 30, — OLLARS FOR DECEPTION woman for whom he had labored for months without pay, in expectation that he was to be rewarded by the gift of his immorata’s heart and hand, G. Wi Starkey was granted a judgment against Mrs. E. A. Kneib of Fruitvale in hard cash for what he had been un- able to collect in love and affection. Judge Melvin weighed the evidence and concluded that Starkey’s loss would be compensated for by $222 50, and he gave & decision in his favor for thig amount. According to the testimony, Starkey sajd that he was a carpenter by oc- cupation and that he had met Mrs. Knelb, who is & widow with a little home of her own in Fruitvale. The house, however, was somewhat dilapi- dated, and after winning his way into the good graces of the lady a proposi- tion was agreed to between them to the effect that Starkey should put in what time he could fixing up the place, APRIL 6, 1905.

He tried to leap to safety from the swaying wagon, but was thrown -on his hecad in the hard road, breaking bis neck and causing instant death. The accident happened on the Mount Eden road near the Southern Pacific cressing about 10 ¢’clock, while Bernar- do was out driving with Manuel Nunes, also of Haywards. Bernardo and his companion were driving toward Mount Eden when one of the wheels went into a hole, throw- ing the wagon suddenly against the horses. The frightened animals started to run away and as they rounded a sharp turn in the road Nunes was thrown from the rig. He alighted in the grass by the roadside escaping with a few slight bruises. As Nunes rose to his feet he saw Bernardo jump from the wagon and fall on his head. When he reached the spot his companion was lying in a heap, with blood flowing from his nose and ears, The accident was witnessed by Frank A. Silya, who with his wife was on the way to Haywards. The body of Bernardo was placed In Silva’s wagon and taken to Reid's drug store in Hay- wards where Dr, Reynolds, the dep- uty coroner, was called. The body was later removed to the branch morgue and Coroner Mchrmann was notified. An inquest will be held. 3 ‘Bernardo was 39 years old. He leaves a widow and four children. He was a member of two Portuguese fraternal orders and was also a mem- ber of the Foresters and the Wood- men. —_— GOUCHER WILL NOT APPEAL FROM SENTENCE GIVEN HIM Defendant’s Father Asks Judge to Re- ‘duce Stay, as Son Will Serve the Sentence, Alan Goucheér, who was sentenced on Tuesday by Judge Cook to serve and when it was thoroughly repaired they would live together in the home beautified by their combined efforts.

Thep he found he had been played for a good thing. ‘The widow would not marry him and his love's labor had been lost. ‘He brought -an action in .the Justices’ Court and. was again defeated by his fair antag- onigt, and he then took an appeal to the Superior Court, and to-day was granted a judgment which the coprt found to be commensurate with ‘his loss. —————e RESCUED FROM FLAMES.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April 8 Three of Stanford’s most prominent athletes found themselves In a dan- gerous predicament yesterday at Lit- tle Lagunita Lake, just back of the | university. The .nen were “Sunny Jim" Weller, fullback on the varsity football team. and star performer on the cinder path; Jack Macfarland, winger of the Jow hurdles In the last intereollegiate track meet with the Uniyersity of California, and Joe Mil- iler, a crack freshman runner from Bakersfield, who is counted on to win three races in the coming meet. The accident happened after . the track men had finished training for the day. A crowd of them went up on the lake to sport after-the grilling work on the cinder path. Weller, Macfarland and Miller went out in a canvas canoe, while the others took a flat-bottomed wooden boat. The Stanford lake, al- though artificial, is deep and full of weeds, making it a hard place in which to swin. The three athletes in the canae were near the eenter of the lauke, when Weller playfuily cuffed Miller be- hind the ear. Miller retaliated in kind, and/in & few minutes there was a gen- eral “rough house,” in which all three participated. No canoe will stand still under a playful fracas, and this one vroved no éxception to the rule. In a moment Stanford's three noted ath- letes were struggling in water.that was twenty feet deep. At first they consid- ered the matter a joke, but when their heavy clothes began to exhaust them they realized the seriousness of their predicament and cried for help. For- tunately the wooden boat with the other athletes was not far off, and the rescue was quickly made. The rescuing party - was made up of Reve Gartz- mann, hundred-yard sprinter; Roy Edwards, a quarter-miler, and Louis Russell, a fast runner in the haif-mile event. The athletes were unharmed from their sudden dip in the lake, and no evil consequences followed, save a -severe lecture for their foolishness by Trainer “Dad” Mouiton, —— OFFICER ARRIVES WITH A.

Lynch, mine host of the Hotel Waldorf, Fruitvale, holds possession of the gar- ment, which is described in the records of Palice Court Department 1 as a light brown spring box topcoat. ‘There has been a contest over the nobby bit of wearing apparel, which until a few days ago adorned the fa- miliar figure of its genial owner. That it yet remains in the control and keep- ing of Boniface Lynch is the nubbin of the story. Several weeks ago Lawrence wound up a domestic disturbance, in which his wife was attacked by her spouse with a knife, it was charged, by landing in the City Prison. Lawrence, top coat and all, remained there several days, until his fever had subsided. After Lhis re- lease he journeyed teo Fruitvale in search of quiet, fresh alr and recruiting diet. He found all he required at Lynch's hostelry. But Lynch declares his guest departed without arranging to settle a score of $15 60. The vigilant landlord froze unto the clubman’s over- coat in lieu of coin. Lawrence departed, but sought the police, swearing out a search warrant to recover his missing garment. This morning Lynch appeared. before Police Judge Mortimer Smith with the coat. Lawrence failed to show, so the coat was given back to Lynch pending fur- ther developments. ——— PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO HOLD ANNUAL ELECTION Menlo Park and Woodside Will Name Their New Trustees on Friday Next., ‘WOODSIDE, April 5—The first elee- tion for school truste¢ under the new law will be held on Friday.
