It was here that Wiliams strode for- ward from his seat in the rear.

Sharmrnrfl was on his feet vainly demanding to ask a question, and many Democrats appla led the stand taken by Williams. Lamar demanded that Williams call a Democratic caucus to morrow or allow him to proceed. Speaker Cannon wielded his gavel vigor- ously and declared everybody o6ut of or- der, and in the midst of the confusion recognized Payne for a motion to adjourn, which was deciared carried, and the ses- sion was over untfl Wednesday. i gy Are You Planning Christmas Gifts?

He was one of the sort | who are ‘“‘ready to fight at-the drop of | the hat.” Both of the fatal quarrels were begun over trivial matters. Two years ago Poundmaster Gilligan sold a dog that belonged to McGrath. The latter met the official on a street in Sausalito, and without a word struck Gilligan a terri- | ble blow in the face. Gilligan fell to the { concrete pavement, striking his head. | His skull was fractured and he died at! St. Mery's Hospital in this city. McGrath was arrested on a charge of manslaughter but after three trials was acquitted. The second fatal quar- rel took place over a dog fignt. Me- Grath and Taylor had matched dogs, |and the animal belonging to McGrath was getiing the worst of it “Well, I can lick you if my dog can't beat yours,” sald McGrath. The two men were soon mixed in a roush and tumbie fight. Duringd\ the struggle Me- Grath struck Taylor in the jaw with such force that the bone was crushed up against the brain. The man died a few days later at the Marine Hospital. McGrath was again aMested and ac- quitted. Feeling ran high against McGrath at cie time in Sausalito. When he was freed he stayed there only long enough to get his effects, which were being kept by Bright. “I know they're after me,” he safd better get out or they will get me. 1 stay they’ll kill me, He jeft Sausalito and has not heard of by anybody of that town sin He has probably been living in this city or in Oakland where the woman is. As yet the police have no clew to her identity. She visited MecGrath every day during his last imprisonment, and those wko have seen her say that is re- markably pretty. Her features and . her accent indicated that she was of Spanish origin. The police are eonfident that she may pe able to throw some light on the mystery. ! If McGrath corfided to anybody the names of the people he thought were “going to get him" he probably told the woman. A strong effort will be made to | locate her to-day. The police have a clew as to her whereabouts and are confident that she will be located. For four days the police of Oakland and San Francisco have been working on the mystery which surrounds the finding of | the man identifiecd as McGrath. On Thursday afternoon two boys, M. B. Maurice and A. P. Pivar, who were fish- ing from the gauge mole, discovered the bod the rocks, lying corpse had been in the water, and at first “rd It she i of drowning. After the Coroner had taken charge a nd in the center of the forehead was disclosed. Examination of the body the Morgue revealed the fact that this | was a bullet hole. suspicioug circums ce about the wound was the entire absence of powder marks or burns around the hullet hole. This gave rise to the theory of murder. It seemed practically impessible for the vic- | tim to have shot himself without leaving traces of powder around the wound. The | murder theory was further gitengthened by the autopsy, which was held by Dr. O. D. Hamlin Thursday night. Dr. Ham- lin, an expert on the subject, after a | careful examination declared it to be his opinfon that the wound was not self-in- | ficted. He based this orv the absence of | powder marks, both outside and inside of the skull, the course of the bullet through the brain and the fact that the man died from a gunshot wound and not from drowning. The condition of the lungs showed that | the victim was not asphyxiated, while | {he general condition of the body Indi- ted that it had been in the water about forty-gight hours. Another pecu- liar phasé of the case was the fact that! there was not 4 single article found in the man's clothing—absolutely nothing by which a_clew to his identity could be given. The garments had been stripped bare. As soon as these clrcumstances were disclosed detectives went to work on the case. They labored for many hours. The stretch of half-submerged rocks along the mole was closely covered in the hope that the dead man's hat or a pistol might be found. thing resulted. Hundreds of person®viewed the body at the Morgue without a single trace of jdentification being uncovered. Coroner Mehrmann ordéred the body embalmea and kept as long as possible in the hope that some one might come forward. All sorts of theories were advanced as to the manner of death. At the outset some of the police were chary of the murder idea. giance it seemed to have been only a case | at | The first noticeably | | present combination plays, where four or five men mass themselves into a human battering ram. President Bemjamin Ide Wheeler dis cussed the action of the joint university athletic committee last night, saying: i “The action of the committee this after- noon is intendéd to result, first in a com- | plete separation of the Paeific Coast col-» legiate sports from the so-called rules committee in the East, which we have never really owed : giance and upon which we have n i bad representation. We feel justified, a committee to - cordingly, in freeing curselves from its domination. “The committee proposed as a primary | end to endeavor to remove some of the! evils that now afflict the sport of foot- ball. We are agreed that the game as it is played now calls for an organization | which is tao elaborate. “The game is 100 | technical. It calls for players of the cata- | pult type. The coach simply puts the heavy men on the line and shoots them farward against the opposing line. “It seems to be believed that i¢ the Rugby game is introduced much of the | roughness now complamed of will eliminated Also, the game | to be more interesting point of the average sp possible to so improve the pres game | as to eradicate the evils'we deplore, then the game as improved will be adopted. The advisory committée we have secured | will, I believe, provide us with a game| that will be satisfactory in every way ! {at least very much more tactory | | than the game as it is now.” Colonel George C. Edwards, chairman | of the faculty athletic committee, gave out the following statement last night: “The universities of this coast have finally decided to break away from the | Eastern rules committee, and [ am giad of it. Those of us who have followed the game as played here have resented | the® various moves made by this rules committee in the East, but we have not made any very strenuous protesis, ex- pecting -that the reforms which evidentiy were needed would soon be inaugurated. Instead of the conditions being made better, however, they have beeome worse. “We consider that to-day we have signed our. declaration of independence and now that we are perfectly free it is our purpose to formulate rules for a game that will preserve the spirit of foot- ball, but without the evils that have at- tended the game for a long time. I be- lieve that the introduction of the Rugby game would be an excellent thing. The game as played now is merely an off- shoot of the old game. It has grown rotten with time. Now we will cut off the bad parts and return to the old stock.”™ Professor H. B. Torrey, a member of the athletic committee, has announced his belief in the advisabllity of reverting to the old Rugby game. Roy Elliott, captaln of the varsity football team, sald last night that the lea of golng back to the Rugby game “supposed El- | was a eurprise to him, but he a trial of it wotldn't hurt anybody.’ lott said: “I don’t profess to know anything about | the Rugby game, but if it is demanded | by the circumstances, let's give it a trial. If Rugby is satisfactory .to the students | and the college officials T will do all that do to make and |18 possible for me to keep the game popular. | "“I understand that a Rugby team from | New Zealand is to come here this win- |a | ter and will give an exhibition ga on | the campus next term. We are lucky in having a coach, Dr. Tayler, who knows Rugby as well as the present game, and so we will be sure of expert instruction | if Rugby Is decided upon.” | o 2 | They suggested suicide. But the more | they studied, the more they came, to the conclusion that the case was onesof foul | play and that the unidentified stranger ! had been shot by another hand than his own.. But there the police were at sea. They had nothing more and untll the | Sausalito clew eame to light it appeared as if the body must go to the Potter's | Fleld in an unmarked grave.
