Her agitation was so great that she could hardly stand up, and had to be supported. The charge against the woman was the shooting of Manuel F. Vencelau, her hus- band, at thelr home at 755 Jefferson street on the afternoon of Septembér 18 last. The evidence, however, fell short of es- tablishing the fact that she had intended to kill him. In fact, the case was subs mitted to the jury by Attorney A. L. Frick without argument, so confident was { he that his client would not be:held. She admitted on the stand that her husband and she were quarreling over the posses- sion of the pistol and that it went off and shot him, but she denied the intent. SRS SO R LABOR UNIONS WILL HOLD SEMI-ANNUAL ELEL’I‘IOVS These Events Are Important, (or Suc- cess Often Means Politieal | i Office. sk During the incoming month all labor unions and labor organizations will hold their semi-annual elections for officers. These elections are as a,rule vigorously contested by the many as- pirants for the honors of holding office within the governing body to which they are affillated. It is considered quite an Jionor 16 be a presiding officer of & local labor union, as it ieads to higher honors, if not at home, some- times from a political point of view, as it did at the municipal election just held where many presidents of local unions received nominations from the United Labor party to be elevated into prominent city positions. Much regret is felt by all the mem- bers of Butchets” Unlon No. 115 over the resignation of Secretary Herman May, who has severed his official asso- clation with the union to accept a share in the management of the California Co-operative Meat Company. The unfon at the last meeting passed resolutions commendatory of the high esteem in . which he was held. The fol- lowing is a copy of these resolutions: Whereas, Brother Herman May, having ac- cepted 8n important position in ‘the Cailfor- nia Co-operative Meat Company, has In conse- quence tendered his res l.l n as secretary of ‘niop, Local No. lhll‘elm'e be it Rewol at, umnlzlng and ability of Brother Serman siay ‘Guring nis long and continued servica a0y of Butchers' Tlon No. 115, we @b hereby ccent b nation, the same to take effect November 2, IU()6 be it further Resolved, ‘That, by faltnfulness to the prin- ciples of unionism, B patience and fidelity in the discharge of the auties of his office he has instilied nobler and higher views of unl into the minds of our memoers and has won the confidence respect of all brothers of Butchers' Dnton No. 110, who wish him all che success and prospel his future position.

Fletcher Sims Is Thrown From Machine and Is Probably Fatally Injured HIS SECOND ACCIDENT In September ‘He Ran Down and Killed Justin Bit- terly, an Aged Pauper OAKLAND, Nov. 28.—Hurled from the seat of his automobile by the sudden swerving of the machine on a slippery bit of road, J. Fletcher Sims, the son of John | F. Sims, president of the Western Iron { Works, was probably fatally injured at {4 o'clock this afternoon on the San Lean-; idro road, and was taken to the Provi-| . dence Hospital under the care of Dr. O. D. Hamlin. -It is believed that he sus- talned a fracture of the skull at the base | of the brain, and small hope is expressed for his recovery. Sims was enjoying a run to Haywards { With a party of friends, and had reached the corner of Bryant street and the San Leandro road, two blocks east of High street, when the automobile swerved quickly to the side of the road, throwing Sims forward out of the machine. In falling he struck the roadway squarely jon his head, and when picked up by the other members of the party was uncon- scious. He was hurriedly taken to the office of Dr. Jo Hamilton, at High and East Four- | teenth streets, and after an examination the physician ordered that the injured méan be put to bed in a room at Charles Harrison’s hotel pending his removal to { bis home. Dr. Hamilton applied restora- tives, but ‘the injured man failed to re- spond to the treatment. Only once did he rally and make an effort to speak, but the exertion was too much for him, and he relapsed at once into unconsclousness. Dr. Hamilton, after doing everything pos- sible for the patient, sent for Dr. O. D. Hamlin, Sims’ family physician. Finding that 8ims was dangerously in- jured, Dr. Hamlin at once ordered his re- moval to Providence Hospital, and on his arrival there every effort was made to restore him to consclousness, but without avail, and at a late hour to-night he was still in the same-condition as when picked up. ‘When picked up blood was flowing from his right ear and there was a large bruise on the right side of the head: Dr. Hamil- ton believes that his skull was fractured at the base of the“brain. After his ex- amination of the patient to-night Dr. Hamlin said that Sims' condition indi- cated that this was the case. He sald that should Sims not rally in the course of a few hours his chances for recovery would be very small. This is the second automobile accident in which Sims has been involved within the last three months. On September 29 while returning with a party of friends from San Jose he ran over and fatally injured Justin Bitterly, an aged inmate of the County Infirmary, as the latter ‘was crossing the road near that Institu- tion. On. this occasion Sims gave the fdame of F. M. Willlams and his resi- "dencé as Alameda. In.the course of the investigation of "Bitterly's death it was learned that for the last two vears Sims has maintained an elegant bungalow on the corner of Buena Vista avenue and Stanford street, in Alameda, where he has lived under the name of F. M. Wil- liams. To those who knew him under his own name he always gave his residence at the home of his father, John F. Sims, at 2421 ‘Warring street, Berkeley. To-day's accident was witnessed by M. F. Tuxeira, who conducts a grocery at the corner of Brvant street and the San Leandro road. The latter said that the automobile was coming from the direction of Oakland at a rapid pace, when it sud- denly swerved In a semicircle to the side | of the road, coming to a sudden stop, which threw Sims clear over the front of the machine. Tuxeira says Sims struck the ground fairly on his head and that for a moment he seemed to double up, and then stiffened out. The grocer thought the fall had broken Sims' neck, and be- lieved that he was dead-when picked up by the other occupants of the automobile. CAUSES THE ARREST OF A RIVAL AGENT | SANTA ROSA, Nov. 28.—Peter Carlsen, who for the last eight years has represented the New England Mu- tual Life Insurance Company in this vicinity as a general agent, to-day swore to a complaint against Richard Coliler, a transient agent of the Penn- sylvania Mutual Life Insurance Com- pany, charging hin: with criminal libel. Carlsen says that for several years there has been a persistent effort to blackmail him, and that he wlll stand it no longer. It Is expected that two more persons will soon tind themselves in the clutches of the law because of Carlsen's complaint. One of these may be reached through the Federal courts, as it Is claimed that he has used the malils to strike at Carlsen. The charge against Collier grows out of the circulation of an afiidavit sworn to by J. H. Nissen of Petaluma deroga- tory to the character and business in- tegrity of Carlsen. ——————— Pardons a Life Termer. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 28.—Go\'ernor| Pardee to-day commuted the sentence ; of John §.

SAN MATEO, Nov. 23.—A great deal | of interest has been aroused here by the purchase of several hundred | acres of valuable land by -.rs. Win- chester, widow of the invemtor of the Winchester rifle. It is the purpose of Mrs. Winchester to create an island | out of her purchase and to erect upon it one of the most unique estates in | California, one that will be an imita- tion of the beautiful baronies of feu- dal times. | Mrs. Winchester already possesses | a magnificent bungalow on the shore | o¢ the bay opposite Burlingame sta- |tion. This she will make practically the center of her new and strangely attractive domain. She has bought hundreds of acres of land which ex- tend northward from her present hold- ing to the dairy opposite the eastern subdivision. In this tract is included the old and well-known Lamphere place. It is announced upon authority that Mrs. Winchester intends % have a camal dug around the entire traect, thus rendering her property an Island, upon which her ideas of a remarkable country estate may have full scope for development. Under the scheme of con- struction as now outlined entrance to the grounds may be obtained only wcross a drawbridge, which may be raised or lowered at the command of the mistress of the place. It has also been planned to throw up a huge mound on the side of the prop- erty nearest to the electric road. Upon | the very apex of this mound will be con- | structed a lookout station, which will not only give an unobstructed view of the bay but of the entire county of San Mateo. The deal by which Mrs. Win- chester secures contrel of this prop- | erty has already been closed. The im- provements which are in contemplation represent an expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars. {OFFICIALS TAKE HAND ‘ IN CEMETERY ROW Slipervisors of San Mateo Set- tle Fight Between Jews { and Italians.
