Kenney Declares | Spouse Attempted Murder When She Refused His | Offers of Reconciliation |STILL TALKS, THOUGH ' JAW IS FRACTURED }Miracu_lously Escapes Death | in Fall of Five Stories | From the United States | Hotel to a Roof Below RS L Last night W. J. Kenney, a private detective, called on his wife, from whom | he had been separated six months, in an attempt to affect a reconcillation. The | reconciliatign did not take place. In- stead, Mrs. Kenney, according to her ver- slon, was pitched out of the sixth-story | window of her room in the United States | Hotel at Sixth and Market streets, where | the fond interview was taking place, by her insistent husband. It was 9 o'clock on Market street with the Saturday night parade in full blast, and the holiday crowds were treated to | | the rather rare sight of a whirling body | | descending with cannon-ball speed ‘along | the facade of the building. The body was | picked up on the roof of .the Wafle | Kitchen, five whole floors from the win- | dow through which it had come, and | | |‘miraculously enough, it was found to be full of life. Rushed to the Central Emer- gency Hospital Mrs. Kenney was dis- | covered to be unhurt outside of a frac- | tured jaw and @ broken arm. Mrs. Ken- | ney was also found to be somewhat the | worss from liquor, which may explain the extraordinary safety of her flight. ’ The injuries of Mrs. Kenney were com- paratively so slight that she %as willing, nay, eager to talk. She was not compli- mentary to her husband and was cate- gorical in her denunciations. She sald | that she was 22 years old, that she had | been married to W. J. Kenney a year, and separated from him for the last six | months. She had a room at the United | Btates Hotel, Sixth and Market, while | he lived his solitary life at the Metro- | politan Hotel on Third street. | Tast night he callell on her to affect a | reconcilfation. A preliminary survey, of each other's grievances, begun merely with the intention of finding a solution of the question, drifted into a bitter reca- | pitulation, then into mutual denunclation, followed by bodily contact. “He grabbed | me by the hair and the arm,” said Mrs. | Kenney at her cot in the hospital, *‘and | partly pushed me, partly_carried me to | the window. Then he grabbed me around the waist and threw me out. I didn't know anything for a while and woke up | in_the ambulance.” | Kenney, the husband, who is accused | of this singular effort at peace-making, was not found in the room from the win- | Gow of which Mrs. Kenney had plunged | to the street. Detective O'Day, at a late | hour last night, was investigating the | case. AGE PENSIONS 10 BE CRANTE | Special Dispatcl to Tha Call, CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—As a result of preliminary steps taken to-day, Congress may retire and pension all civil service | employes over 70 years of age. President | Roosevelt’s declaration in pension order No. 78 that a man’s usefulness is half over at 62 and that he is entitled to the maxi- mum pension at 70 is to be applied by the Appropriations Committee of the House | to the civil employes of the Government. The President was asked by resolution of the House to-day to inform that body what number of civil employes in all branches of the Government are 70 years old or over. This list will then be labeled “The Civil Pension List of the Goven- ment,” ‘the product of the present civil service system. Tawney, the new, chalrman of the Ap- propriations Committee, brought the reso- lution into the House just before adjourn- ment to-day and asked for its immedlate | constderation. Its reading started a half | dozen to their feet to inquire what was meant. “It mimply ~means, ‘replied Tawney, “that the civil service system “seems to | be an excellent means of getting into the | Government service, but that it also is an | effectual preventive for ever becoming | | separated from the Government 'pay | roll.” Tawney explained that his committee, in making up the legislative, executive end judicial appropriations bill, expected to make a thorough examination of this {subject. The President had been ap- plied to for the reason that he was a | civil service reformer, and was also in | position to obtain the data at the earliest moment. The information he | gives will be. followed by further inquiry as to details and the first steps toward reform are to be taken. —_———— DISCUSS ESTABLISHMENT OF COLLEGE SETTLEMENT At the invitation of the Rev. D. Charles Gardner, chaplain of the Me- morial Church of Stanford University, a small number of Stanford alumni met |at the Occidental Hotel last night to | discues the advisability of founding a Btanford College settlement in Ban | Francisco. . The meeting was tentative and was merely to determine whether there was among the Stanford alumni a feeling toward such work. Dr. Gardner led the discussion. Interested talks were made on the subject of settlement work by Mrs. Mary Robert Smith, an ex-pro- fessor at Stanford and at present head of the South Park Settlement; by Miss Wilson, graduate of the University of California and head of an individual | settlement for girls; by Archie Rice, rominent alumnus of the class of '95; y Miss Goodhue and Miss Katherine Chandler, the writer, both Stanford graduates; by S. W. Collins, '95; by Rev. Cecil Marrack, the ex-Stanford debater, at present rector of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, and by Dr. Annie G. Lyle, graduate of Stanford, John Hopkins and Berlin. The con- census of opinion seemed in favor of starting the alumni in some sort of settlement work, but there was a di- versity of opinfon as to the exact char- { Hundreds of Articles Suitable for Gifts at.

Secret Service Agent Takes Away Naturalization Papers From Impostors —_— Captaln Charles Henry Cross, master of the steamer Hazel Dollar, may pose no longer as an American citizen, for he sursendered his naturalization certificate and his American seagoing license yester- day to United States Secret Bervice Agent Richard H. Taylor after having sworn te an affidavit before United Btates Commlis- sioner James P. Brown that he had not been entitled to be naturalized. Cross is a native of England and arrived, here in 1803. He did not remain, however, but went to sea again and returned in May, 1904: A day or two later his brother-in- law, Henry W. Hammond, and his moth- er-in-law, Frances M. Hammond, took him before the Superior Court and swore him in as a citizen. He had never flled his declaration of intention. Albin W. Forsburg, & native of Bweden, also surrendered his papers. He was born September 8, 1879, and came to this country in January, 188. On October 19, 1900, he was naturalized by BSuperior Judge Carroll Cook, his witnesses being B. C. Forrest and John Pearson, who swore that they had known him in this THE CHRISTMAS GIFT The selection of one that will’ prove appropriate, enjoyable and acceptable is frequently a hard task for many of us.
