No Longer §eeks to Do Violence to Any One. OAKLAND, Jan. 14.—Crouching in ter- ror at the feet of her enraged husband, whose confidence she had betrayed and who vowed that he would end her lifg on the spot unless she revealed the name of the man who had wrecked his home, Mrs. Violet McCready refused to divulge the name of her companion, and every ef- fort since made by her husband to discover the name of the man who had escaped his vengeance when he forced his way into his home at 1063 Tenth avenue last Thurs- day night to find that another had stolen the affections of his wife have proved un- availing. For the first' time since he found his faithless wife and the strange man to- gether in his home last Thursday night, McCready visited the house to-day, and the condition of the rooms gave mute evidence of the desperate battle which the wronged husband had given to wreak vengeance on his gullty wife and the man who had taken his place in her heart. Overturned and broken furniture marks the course of the husband’s fren- zied struggle as he was dragged from the room of his wife by his brother, Police Officer Harry N. McCready, and A. L. Hook, a brother-in-law, after his discov- ery of the guilty pair. The husband, still suffering keenly from the disgrace which has been heaped upon him by his wife, refused to-day to discuss the case, but details of the discovery of his wife's faithlessness and the ensuing struggle to prevent the husband from tak- ing the lives of the pair were furnished by Policeman H. N. McCready. OWE LIVES TO OFFICER.

A. Martin is pro- vided in a message received by Marshal Vollmer to-day from Marshal Jefferson G. Davis of Modesto. The Modesto man has found Mrs. Martin with her two- year-old babe, identifying them by | their pictures printed in The Call yes- terday. The news of Mrs. Martin's whereabouts was promptly communi- cated to the distressed husband who has awalted, in almost complete de- spair, for information of the woman's wanderings. He will make arrange- ments to have her returned to her home in Berkeley. Mrs. Martin left the cottage, at 2345 Ninth street, last Tuesday morning, without warning, taking with her a two-year old child, the youngest of a famlly of five children. She is supposed to have been temporarily insane, her | conduct being accounted for in no other way by the family. Martin is a carpenter, who says that his wife was provided with a comfort- able home, and had sufficlent to occupy her attention in the shape of a family of children. His wife gave no hint of her intention of deserting her husband and little ones, and Martin preferred to believe that the desertion occurred while Mrs. Martin was mentally un- balanced. No trace of her movements was found until the message came from Modesto to-day. ——————————— Tangle Over a Cheek. OAKLAND, Jan. 14—C. A.

Abbott is financially responsible and felt that an injury was dome him in connection with the inquiry. The check was drawn by P. E.

LONDON, Jan. 14.—The Duchess mltt‘::n m.cm-wa snagn), who sub- to a rather severe operation yesterdwy, is reported to favorably. who was with her owe their lives. As the brothers leaped to the door of Mrs. McCready’s room the police officer was still in the lead and entered the room first. As the door swung open his brother drew a pistol and thrusting it past the ot- ficer was about to fire, when his hand was seized by the policeman and the weapon wrenched from his grasp. Then began the battle which afforded the op- portunity for the man whose life’ Fred McCready sought to escape. The man, whose identity s unknown, leaped through the bedroom window and fled, leaving the wife of the man he had wronged to bear the brunt of her hus- band’'s wrath. The policeman forced the handcuffs upon the wrists of his mad- dened brother and then started in pursuit of the man who had left the house. A cry for help from Hook called him back, to find that his brother had seized a long knife from the kitchen table and, al- though manacled, had made a second at- tempt to end the life of his wife. WOULD NOT TELL NAME. Finding that his captors were deter- mined to prevent violence, McCready fin- elly gave his promise that he would make no turther attempt to kill the woman who had betrayed him, and the three then en- tered the room of the woman, to find her crouching beside her bed, speech- less with terror. Standing over his dis- graced wife MeCready demanded the name of the man who had eluded his vengeance, but the wife, although ex- pecting every moment to feel the grasp of her enraged husband’s fingers on her throat despite the restraining hands of his brother, refused to tell. At last McCready gave up the attempt to force her to speak and left the house, taking with him his Jittle daugh- ter. This afternoon he announced to his brother that his desire for revenge had passed, leaving only the desire to be free as soon as possible from the woman who had disgraced him and her child. He has placed the case in the hands of an attor- ney and & suit for divorce will be filed at once. McCready returned to his desolate home this afternoon and packed up his wife's clothing, which will be sent to the home of her brother in Ban Francisco. Looking about the disordered home, the husband, with tears in his eyes, said: “I tried to give her the best home I could, and I can’t understand why she betrayed my trust. But the end has come, and now all that I want is to be set free, so that she will have no further opportunity of disgracing my little daugh- ter. Bhe may have what she wants of the furniture and all her personal belongings, but no matter what happens, I shall keep the child.” _———— NOTRE DAME ACADEMY REOPENE.— Alameda, Jan. 14.—Notre Dame Academy reopened after the holiday vacation with an increased attendance. semi-annual first semester m- ;::'vl.}l ':‘:hm;n:‘th latter part of the 2 e SRR T T pany ¥, Thirteenth l-hlar.v, at w B Warter, T S private o INJURES THREE HUSBAND WILL S DE FOR A DIVORCE |spmn and 'Wild Consternation FIRE BURNS EYEBROWS Nicholas W. Muller Is Blown Out of Chair While Jesse Robinson Is Shaving Him ALAMEDA, Jan. 14.—Thres men were injured and the barber shop at 1124 Rall- road avenue was demolished at 8:30 this morning through the explosion of a largs volume of gas that had leaked from a defective pipe and acecumulated in a rear room Of the establishment and between the ceiling and the roof of the buflding. The terrific detonation, fiying debris and groans of the wounded created conster- nation in the neighborhood. A fire alarm was turned in, physicians were summoned and an ambulance was ordered. Chief Fred K. Krauth and his fire fighters ex- tinguished the blaze. Dr. A. A. Stafford attended those who were hurt, Nicholas ‘W. Muller, Robert James and Jesse Rob- inson. An investigation disclosed that James, who is a plumber, had been called by tae proprietor of the tonsorial establishment to locate and repair a leak in a gas pipe that during the night had permitteu a great volume of gas to escape into the rear apartment of the barber.shop. Upon going into the back room James lighted a match and the gas dld the rest. In the blow-up that followed the plumber was shot through the rear door, the end of the building going with him. Both of James’ hands were badly burned and his body was bruised in many places. Muller, who was in a chair being shaved by Robinson, was blown out of his seat. His hair and eyebrows were singed, the right side of this face, which had not yet felt the ragor, was seared, and his throat almost cut by the keen blade the barber was wielding when Muller was flung against him. Robinson also suffered a free singe, much of his hair and both of his eyebrows going up in smoke. His hands were blistered, but the barber for- got his pain in the thought of how lucky he was in not severing customer Muller’s windpipe and being a party to an acci- dental homicide, James, Muller and Robinson were found after the explosion, dazed and suffering from their injuries. They were taken to Hunter's pharmacy, directly across the avenue from the barber shop. There they were glven medical attention and taken to thelr homes in an automobile. James is considered by the physician who treat- ed the victims of the explosion to be the most seriously injured. His hands are ex- tensively seared and skin grafting may have to be resorted to in order to save the members. That there was a great volume of gas in the bullding is evident from its condi- tion after the explosion. The glass win- dows in the fropt of the barber shop were i) out a blown ashundred *feet. Tll:gegm walxl,’n! fhe shop was thrown down, the partitions were smashed and the side walls and roof forced out of po- sition. It is estimated that the building is damaged to the extent of $1500. All the men who narrowly escaped death are widely known here. Muller is a member of the grocery firm of Muller Brothers, Bay street and Santa Clara avenue. James has been in the plumbing business in this city for six years. His home is at 1612 Lafayette street. Robinson, who is a colored man, lives at 1205 Buena Vista avenue. (MARKET €000 DESPITE RAIN Real Estate Dealers Agrge- ably Surprised by Contin- ued Activity of Business OAKLAND, Jan. 14.—*I have done more business in the first twelve days of the present month than I ever did in the en- tire month of January in any preceding year.” This was the statement made yesterday by Charles F, Lee, a well- known. real estate dealer of Fruitvale, and his assertion is repeated by many other real estate men in Oakland, Berke- ley and Alameda. It was generally ex- pected that as soon as the rains began there would be a considerable lull in the market, but such has not been the case. The sales have for the most part been confined to residence property, but there is a considerable inquiry for business and manufacturing property, especlally alongt the water front and along the central portion of the right of way of the West- ern Pacific Rallroad. The annual meeting and banquet of the Oakland Real Estate Association was held Friday night at the Hotel Metro- pole. The reports of the officers of the mssoclation show the organization to in a flourishing condition, and the mem- bers are confident that at the close of the present year a record will have been established in the Alameda County real estate market which will surprise people who consider the cities on the eastern shore of the bay as mere suburbs of San Prancisco. Among_the subjects discussed at the an- ual meeting was that of the practice among Oakland business men of carry- ing insurance in companfes whose agents are located in San Francisco. The members of the assoclation expressed the bolief that this practice was an injustice to the insurance agents who maintain offices in this city, and a committee was appointed to induce business men as~far as possible to discontinue the practice. One of the most important real estate deals of the past week was the sale of a lot % by 100 feet, located just north of onoxide Demolishes Barber Shop, Causing Wide FOR FRIVOLOUS PASTIME Force and Bansbach to Open Rink in San Jose. University Heroes Join ‘Hands in Venture. BERKELEY, Jan. 14—Blue and gold has joined hands with cardinal. Berke- ley and Stanforg/have linked their for- tunes. Warriors of many a hard- fought scrimmage and tackle have left the memories of the gridiron behind them. They have kicked aside the pig- skin and have bowed allegiance to the new god of sports, the roller skate. Big “Jim” Force, erstwhile captain of the University of California, and his | one-time rival on the fleld of football, Louis Bansbach of cardinal fame, have become joint managers of a rink at San Jos Such the news which stirred fihsl college men as it trickled through the campus to-day and became the topic of gossip around the quiet places of assemblage among the nooks and cor- ners of the college town. From football to roller skates— Force, the giant tackle, “Sunny Jim,” as his name was yelled by stentorian choruses from the bleachers when he proudly marched across the field, tow- lel"lnz high among the heroes of Berke- ey. And from Palo Alto that stalwart of stalwarts, captain and coach, Bans- bach, he of the white S and scarlet jer- seys, has likewise descended from the pedestal to the frivolities of the rink. The story runs thus: Force has be- come an adept at the art of describing geometric curves on the waxed floor. Seized when the craze struck Berkeley, he became one of its most ardent devo- tees. Night and day he glided over the smooth rink, becoming the wonder of the lesser patrons of the sport. But all of this time “Jim” was not giving that close attention to the d mands of the academic side of univer- sity activities that should keep him in favor with the learned faculty. When the records scholastic were figured “Jim"” was found wanting. In the col- lege vernacular the husky tackle had been *“cinched.” Back a year he must &0, and make a fresh start at his col- lege studies. The alternative was to quit. He chose to shake off the dust of the campus. Roller skates fascinated the big foot- ball captain. So, casting to the winds his thoughts of B. A. and B. L., Force ought consolation and found it with me of his old-time college rivals. Bansbach is as ardent an admirer of the revived fad as is Force. They met on common ground. Happy thought to unite under the peacefully entwined folds of the cardinal and the blue and gold. They would open a skating rink on neutral territory and run it. even if they were their own best customers. In the college town Force has added to his laurels as a football player by his skill on the rollgrs. He has become the idol of the lesser lights and shines among the whirling throng. All this has been the fruit of only three months’ dalliance in the rink, and what Force will accomplish when he has blossomed out as a manager his ad- mirers hereabouts are loth to prophesy.

Costa Dies in His Store as Result of Explo- sion of Gasoline Stove RIVAL HEROFS WHO HAVE FOR- ‘ OAKLAND, Jan. 14.—Broken in spirit and crossed in love, Manuel V. Costa went to his little jewelry shop at %0% East Fourteenth street this evening to cook his usual lonely supper on a gaso- line stove. The gasoline expioded and rocked the buildings for blocks around, and now Costa’s charred body lies on a marble slab at the Morgue, his features burned and disfigured beyond recognition. It was shortly after 8 o’clock that Po- liceman Schroeder noticed flames issuing from the building in which Costa had his jewelry store. He turned in an alarm and ran to the blazing building, but he was too late to save the occupant, who lay dead upon the floor, with the flames leaping around him. Schroeder and neighbors fought the blaze until the fire department arrived and succeeded in preventing it from spreading. The damage was confined to the jewelry shop, which*was in the corner of the building. But Costa had been burned to death before succor arrived. Costa came to Oakland nearly three years ago from the Azores and imme- diately got work with I. H. Herold, who is now secretary of the Humane Soclety. He was popular among the Portuguese and was a prominent member of the I D. E. 8. and the Druids of West Oakland. After leaving Herold's employment he opened the jewelry store and sent to his native land for the woman whom he in- tended to make his wife. She came, and lived in the lodging-house above his store, ALAMEDA, Jan. 14.—With his right arm broken in two places as the result of being struck by the heavy crank of an anchor windlass on the /scow schooner Salamander, John Davies of 1364 Broadway, with his young brother, James, pulled to the landing of the Encinal Yacht Club last night in the face of a wild sea that threatened re- peatedly to swamp the little craft bear- ing the two daring youths. Because of his injury John was un- able to assist in handling the boat. and his brother was forced several times to lay aside the oars and bail the craft out with a large scoop shovel. When the young mariners clambered upon the landing at the yacht club wharf they were weak and chilled, and John Davies collapsed from shock and pain. John Davies is employed by Powell Bros. on the scow schooner, which he has bargained to purchase. Last even- ing he went aboard the vessel with the purpose of working her up to the south end of Park street. In hoisting the anchor he stooped to rest, and while he was standing near the windlass the safety clutch wheel of the machine slipped and the weight of the suspend- ed anchor caused the windlass crank to revolve with great force. The iron handle struck Davjes on the right arm between the shoulder and the elbow, —_—— but they soon quarreled and she married another man. Ever since then Costa has lived the life of a recluse, cooking his frugal meals on the gasoline stove that caused his death to-night and sleeping In a rear room. The ‘whereabouts of the woman is unknown. Manuel Brown, who conducts the lodg- ing-house in the upper story of the build- ing, sald to-night: “I was almost knocked off my feet by the explosion, which shook the buildings for several blocks. I at first thought it was an earthquake, but when I reached the street I found Policeman Schroeder and others fighting the flames. Shortly afterward the fire apparatus arrived and the blaze was- extingulshed. Then we found the charred body of Costa on the floor. Costa had been a sort of recluse ever since the woman he intended to marry jilted him, but I think the fire to- night was an accldént. 1 do not recall the name of the woman who was to have married him, although she lived in the lodging-house for several weeks.” Vosburgh of W wfll Costa was 25 years old and had no rela- tives in this country.

Muleahy Subsist Upon Coffee and Duck Until the Sea Quiets Special Dispatch to The Call SAN RAFAEL, Jan. M.—John Doody axd Bert Mulcahy, two young men resid- ing in San Rafael, were marooned on East Mcrin Island by the storm from Friday noon until this morning. They grew anxious as their scanty supply of provisions diminished. but managed to reach the mainland before they had ex- hausted their larder. During their en- forced stay upon the istand they subsist- ed upon wild game and coffee. On Friday morning they left here in & twelve-foot skiff to go duck shooting on Marin Islands, with the Intention of re- turning nome either late that evening or early Saturday morning. Bverything went well until they reached the bay. where thers was a heavy sea running. and a very stiff wind blowing. Although buffeted by the waves they determined to reach the island. When within a stone’s throw of their destination thr tide caught them, carrying them away be- yond the island. Three hours of hard struggle brought them to the Iisland, where they made their boat fast and en- tered the cabin. They built a fire, dried their clothes and cooked their dinner, and then rested for a few hours. They concluded to remain on the island until the storm should sub- side. As it showed no signs of abating Doody and Muleahy, to provide against an emergency, bagged a few ducks. These, with coffes they had taken along, served as food for the marooned men. An attempt was made to return home on Sunday afternoon. After two hours of hard struggle in the boat, during which it was almost swamped, the men gave up and returned to the cabin. They were forced to spend another night on the island. This morning the storm had abated and Doody and Mulcahy were able to reach the mainland. Their long absence had alarmed their families and friends and parties had gone out to seareh for them. ———e— — WORK NEEDED IN THE SLUMS Rev. Charles Gardner Tells the Stanford Students of Tdeal College Settlement STANFORP UNIVERSITY, Jan. M.— The chavlain of the Stanford Memorial Church, the Rev. Dr. Charles Gardner, to-day explained to the undergraduates of the university his idea of the Ideal college settlement, closing his sermon with an appeal to the students to assist him in making the proposed Stanford college settlement a success. He said in part: First, may I dispose of the impression that a college settiement is a sociological experi- ment, conducted for the bemefit of students in ? A settlement is not a laboratory for the investigation of the causes of poverty. A college settiement {s mado up of refined, educated, Christian gentlemen or gentlewomen, moved by love of their fellow men to live in some neglected street of & city, where they become “neighbors’” in the best sense of tie word. They go there, they live the n order to share the burdens of the poor. homa is always bright and clean—one Dome In the block where the naighbors are gentle, unseifish, always ready to lend a band. The settiement home, besides exercising its simple, beneficent influence upon the neighbors, is also the cenater of neighborhood activity. But is there need for still another ozganiza- tion amid the multiplicity of orgamized churi- ties? It seems to me that no one can w. through the forsaken streets and temement tricts of San Francisco without fesiing the crying meed of social betterment. And if such is the conclusion upon a superficlal view of the district. that rational concluston would bs fired to a passion of zeal if you eould know the life and problems of the poor. Honably ‘we Heed 1o maltioly the nffagmces which make for virtue and pureness of lving and to cut under the many influences which b, 3z make for vice and misery in the siums of our eities. “University men and women have the larger point of view, both intellectually and spirit- ually. 1t they will keep their hearts warm and thetr sympathies they can do much to solve the great problems of our complex mod- ern life. Thers is too much machinery in mod- eorn cl personal element Is too often eliminated. 1 believe in organized and in charity organizations. but I say that when a man draws a yearly check and sends it to the Asscetated Charities and makes that the extent of his Christian duty In bearing the other man's burden, he falls short of the L\rllllln ideal. Rightly transiated, echarity means not money, but love. Lowell is right when he says the Holy Supper and the uni- versity settiement preserve the persomal ele- ment In charity. Men don’t want and women don't want cash. They need you, your poise, your refinement, your sympathy, yourself. > —_———— French People Will Hear Leeture. Professor E. B.
