The man was about § feet 8 inches .in height and weighed 135 pounds. The Hands and feet were small, the hands indicating that he bad never done hard | work. When the detectives went to work on the case they at first thought the yictim was a follower of the race track, and Detective Kyte took several race horse men to the morgue in an effort to iden- one was found who could identify the remains. BULLET 1S FOUND. This evening Dr. O. D. Hamlin, assisted | by Drs. Reinle and Curdts, held an au- topsy and found the bullet that had ended the man's life. It was in the right pos- terior lobe of the brain. The bullet was of 82-caliber. It had entered the center of the forehead at the median line and taking a slightly upward course had struck the rear of the skull about one- half inch to the right. The skull was fractured and the bullet dropped frito the brain. Dr. Hamlin found slight evidence of contusion gbove the left ear that was of ante-mortem origin. The condition of the lungs proved that death had not been caused by drowning. The other vital organg were normal, but it was evident that the man had been a sufferer from acute pleurisy. “It is my best judgment that the wound was not self-inflicted,” sald Dr. Hamlin after the autopsy. “While it is true that the course of the bullet and- its location showed that it might have been sent into the brain by his own hanpd, the absence of powder marks has not been ex- plained. It would be impossible for any one to hold & pistol far enough from | his forehead to prevent powder marks, | and there was mot a’sign of powder | marks near the wound or even the mem- | brane of the brain. Neither were there powder marks on the hands. Even had | be used smokeless powder there must | bave been some signs of ‘it either on the outside or inside of the wound. If he had | pressed the muzzle of the gun close to his ! forehead, mccording to the theory of the | @etectives, there would still have been | signs of the powder. The only thing that | would suggest suicide to me, from the | few details I have of the case, is that the | man was suffering from pleurisy of an | acute type.” | Drs. Curdts and Reinle were of Dr. | Hamlin's opinion. PETERSEN SAYS SUICIDE. Captain Petersen inclines to the sulcide theory, although he admits the jcese is a pecullar one. He sald: “If the man had been killed for revenge, the murderer would not | have taken the trouble to ransack his , pockets. If it was the work of a rob- ber the pockets would probably have | been found inside out. I think the man was a racetrack follower, gone broke, yand being 11l and despondent, took his own Iife.

Lester Me- Nuilty is under bonds to answer to a charge of attacking Miss Dorothy Olsen. His bail is $2000. McNulty first smiled upon reading the fake story of his disappearance and then gave vent to anger, inspired. by what he declared to be ‘“malicious, unjust and wanton attacks” by persons who “appar- ently preferred to lie” about him when | the truth was to be found by a simple journey to his home in North B y.

Based on a report that McNulty was contemplating flight Judge T. W. Harris raised the ball to-night to $6000, and a bench warrant was placed in Sheriff Barnet's hands for service. McNulty said the additional bond would be given at dnce. ‘ ———— DENIES CHARGE OF BIGAWY. BERKELEY, Dec. 7.—George H.

GRUBB'S RASH ACT Desperate Husband Employs Extraordinary Means to Meet His Bride at Home BERKELEY, Dec. 7.—False whiskers and a lot of skeleton keys were utilized | by George Grubb last night in an en- deavor to gain an entrance into the home of his wife's father, 2926 Otls street, where Mrs. Grubb has been kept from him, as he declares, for several weeks. The auda- clous plan of the young husband to secure an audience with his imprisoned bride might have succeeded if he had not en- countered Miss Lottie Johnson, sister of the wife, who accused him of being a burglar and summoned the police. Grubb was taken into custody and ar-¢ raigned before Justice Edgar this morn- ing. His tale of a frantic husband's at- tempt to see his young bride impressed | Justice Edgar with his sincerity, and as | Mrs. Grubb came into Justice Edgar's of- fice and pleaded for the accused man, promising to be reconciled to the young fellow, the Judge dismissed them with his blessing and ignored the irate fa.mllyl of the bride, all of whom objected stren- uously to the proceeding. Grubb was married a few monthsg ago to Miss Nellle Johnson, whose father, Frank Johnson, is proprietor of the Per- alta planing mill in South Berkeley. The couple quarreled recently and the bride returned to her father's home. Mr. John- son was. indignant that the girl should have any cause for complaint of Grubb, and the young woman remained hidden from her husband. CHRISTMAS SPIRIT RULES OVER ALL ER R BY ZOE GREEN RADCLIFFE. OAKLAND, Dec. 7.—So many prominent so- clety women are interested in the doll show, elther directly or indirectly, that few important soclal events are booked for the three days of the annual bazaar. The doll show opened | to-day and is already a brllllant success. The tables were dever more daintily arranged and the decorations are unusually attractive. Green garlands are festooned from the cro pleces between the pillars, and at each fasten- ing a large greén or scarlet bell hangs. The Whole effect is striking and much credit is due Mr. Heeseman, who not only loaned the ma- terial, but sent his decorator to do the work. The prize doll table is, of course, the center of attraction for the small damsels who attend the. fair, and ‘Oh, mama, ~isn't she —too sweef?” is the cry rerewed with every mnew arrival. The dolis are so pretty that many a childless woman has been tempted to serve in het ‘memory for some Httle girl friend upon whom to confer happiness and a doll. The first three prize dolls were given by Mrs. C.'L. Rhodes _of Honolulu and M Mrs. W. G. ilton. Miss Minnie Curdts, Miss Grace Trevor and Mre. Reynolds dressed the trio of second prize winners, and the third prizes - were awarded to Mrs. Fred Morse, Mrs. I A. Ber- etta and Mrs. H. Hammer, The living pictures, which have come to be such a delightful feature of the doll show, were a marked artistic success. To-night was Elks' night at the show and the evening was not only a merry one, but many a dollar helped to swell the fund that means home and comfort to o many children. The doll show will continue through Friday and Saturday, and every afternoon and evening a varled programme will add to the soclal at- tractions of the affair. As Christmas approaches the benefit be- comes frequent and numerous. The spirlt of giving Is in the air, so those who work for charity reach out and pull at loosened purse- strings. Bazaars are either in progress or in course of preparation, and no one need bother making anything for Christmas gifts — the bazaar has. them for sale, all ready to put fi & stocking or hang.on the tree. To-day the Ladies’ Aid of the First Christlan Church began a two days' sale of all sorts of things suitable for Christmas gifts in the rooms of the P. L. P. Club, 4623 Thirteenth street. A musical programme is also & pleasant fea- ture of each day, the members of the Prelude | Club furnishing some of the members. This | afternoop_ Misses Mildred Porter, Jean Baker, Ramma Radcliffe, ‘Sidney Miller and Zoe Blod- gett were heard in_several excellent vocal, plano and violin numbers. In the evening Mrs. J. A.

Palmer, wife of the general manager of the Southern Paciic Company, leader in women's clubs in this city and for many years one of the promi- nent educators of the Oakland school department, gave the methods of train- ing and discipline in the Oakland High School a severe scoring In a paper sne read before the Oakland Club Wed- nesday. ‘ “Discipline” was the subject of Mrs. Palmer's address. She gave a lucid treatment of the relations which should | exist pupils. among parents, teachers and The paper provoked a discus- sion among the club members, during | which Mrs. Palmer declared that there was a lack of responsibility pervading the high school atmosphere in relation to the discipline of pupils. She assert- ed that the boys could too often be found at bowling alleys, skating rinks | | and other places of amusement rather! than in the schoolroom, where they were supposed to be busy. The speak- er urged there should be a reform in methods which would render it possible: for pupils to remain away from school without the knowledge of their parents. Mrs. Palmer insisted that the school curriculums, both high and grammar, | were overburdened with useless studies and that the rudiments were being sac- ' There | rificed for educational “fads.” was fair admission that teachers were compelled to handle many more pupils than they could properly deal with in the schoolroom. The discussion led to a general ex- pression of views by club members along the line taken by Mrs. Palmer. James H. Pond, principal of the high school, prejudiced because her own son not progressed satisfactorily at the school, and had been withdrawn to at- tend a private school. In further reply, Principal Pond said: Of the 900 pupils enrolied 850 give no trouble The other fifty need attention and we try to glve it. If the system we pursue in truancy cases falls it is efther because of lack of parents' co-operation or a fauit of the system. It Is the best I can devise and if there be a better one I ehall welcome its submission to me. We never fail to notify parents of a pupil's absence when we have any doubt that it is not due to a lexitimate cause. In many cases parents fafl to make any reply to our Inquiries. Young people naturally tire .of.mcrool work and seek relaxation, but if we have parents' co-operation there is little - difficulty.
