SAN DIEGO, Aug. 1l1.—Jealousy is the alleged cause of an attempted mur- der and suicide this morning just be- fore 10 o'clock. V.rginia Salazar, a Mexican woman of the half world, was shot twice by Jack Johnson., a cook, who then turned the revo.ver upon himself and put two bullets into his own body.

Gray, College Athlete, Not to Wed Belle of Honolulu OAKLAND, Aug. 11.—Desplte the an- nouncement of the engagement of beau- tiful Genevieve Dowsett, one of Hono- lulu’s belles, and Prentiss N. Gray, ball hero of the University of C: nia, athlete and former head of t =ociated Students, there will be riage of the pair. | _ The romance of the balmy isles of the Pacific has ended. George D. Gray, head of the big lumber shipping com- | pany that bears his name, is authority for the declaration that no engagement exists between the young pair whosc | names had been linked in a setting of ightfully interesting detail. Miss Dowsett, a sister of Mrs. foot- | Fred | Knight, wife of George A. Knight's son, | is a member of one of the wealthiest Honolulu families. Her beauty is typ- ical of the Hawalian Islands. She met | Prentiss Gray a year or so ago and saved his life while he was sea bathing ofi the beach at Honolulu. Strong, handsome athlete that he is, Gray was suddenly overcome, and Miss Dowsett, | herself "a magnificent swimmer, went | to_the rescue and brought the young collegian ashort safely. - | It was only fair that Dan Cupid should busy himself, and the attentions | that the young heroine received from | her admirer became the subject of so- clety small talk. The announcement of | the engagement came in due course. | But everything is off. | Prentiss Gray is absent from the city. |He departed soon after publicity was { given to the reported engagement. His | father has taken occasion to make a | written denfal of the existence of a | prospective alllance of the.house of | Gray with that of the equally wealthy | Dowsetts. Miss Dowsett is with Mrs. Kright in Marin County. —_— | GIRL CHARGED WITH BURGLARY BEFORE THE JUVENILE COURT | Annie Miller Recommended for Com- | mitment to Whittier State School, but Judge Defers Deecision.

LIRTING ST, ;Agnes Johns, Leading | Lady,Denies That She | Made Him Leave Wife | “If T were in the habit of flirting, it | would be with a manly man, and not Wwith one of the caliber of Millar Ba- con,” declared Agnes Williams Johns yesterday afternoon at the Central Theater. The leading lady of the Mar- ket-street playhouse indignantly denies that she was the cause of the estrange- ment between Bacon, who is reported to have eloped from Portland last Fri- day with the comic opera singer, Lot- | tle Kendall, and his wife, Myrtle Vane, whom he deserted. The denial was ac- companied by blazing cheeks—real | blushes—for the matinees at the Cen- | tral are conducted by daylight and no | rouge hid the color. When the report of the elopement | reached San Jose, some acquaintance | of Mrs. Johns remembered that three years ago, at the Garden Theater in that city, thers was an estrangement between Bacon and his wife over the juvenile's attentions to Mrs. Johns, then Miss Agnes Williams. Mrs. Jphns attributes the circulation of the report | to Mae Keane, leading woman of the | Redmond company, now playing at the | Garden Tneater, who was in the com- | pany with her and the Bacons three years ago. | In denying the rumors of the affair Mrs: Johns says that she remembers | that the Bacons had a falling out, but | that she thought at the time it was | over money matters. At the time, Ba- | con was being pursued by #atinee girls | with love notes and bouquets and Myr- tle Vane was keeping an eagle eye on him. The jealousy of the ingenue ex- tended to every woman with whom Ba- con came in contact and was the sub- Ject of remark in all the companies in | Which they appeared together. When the trouble arose Mrs. Johns remem- | bers that it was Bacon who left the company, his wife remaining. | It is Mrs. Johns' private opinfon that | Bacon did not exhibit much solicitude | for his wife at any time. She says that he was not the stamp of man she ad- | mired, adding that it was well known throughout the profession that he de- pended for his engagements upon the ability of the clever ingenue. It is well known by theatrical . managers that miss Vane would not accept an | ¢ngagement unless Bacon also became a member of the company. Mrs. Johns' engagement at the Cen- tral closes tonight, and she will open Wwithin two weeks at the Macdonough in Oakland. Millar Bacon and his com- panion are in New York on the Rialto, seeking a job that pays, while Myrtle Vane is in Portland, awaiting the re- sults of a benefit that the Redmond company will give her in San Jose and which, so claims Mrs. Johns, is respon- sible for the connection of her name With the northern theatrical mix-up.
