A AR T THROWS A PARCEL ON THE PRESIDENT'S TRAIN N HONOR OF MAGOON IS WIFE AND CHILOREN Admirer Creates Stir in Presenting Flag to Chief Executive BOSTON, Feb. 24.—President Roose- velt, who arrived here yesterday on an official visit, with mem left for Washington tonight. he President devoted Sunday to a trip to Groton, forty miles from Bos- ton, where his son Kermit is a pupil at the Groton preparatory school. Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss RLthel Roosevelt were already there, and the President was accompanied by his eldest daugh- Mrs. Longworth. Just as the traln was moving slow- ]y out on the way to Groton a middle- aged man ran quickly down the plat-| form behind the President's car, and when he reached within a few feet of it deliberately threw what looked like a paper parcel toward the President. One of the detectives tried to ward off the article before it struck the car, but | it landed safely, though harmlessly. The missile proved to be a silk flag, inclosed in & paper bag, the gift of an admirer. The train reached Ayre Junction shortly before noon. A teacher at the Groton school was waiting with a big six-seated Russian sleigh, drawn by two fast horses, and as the sleighing was excellent the President and his daughter had & delightful drive of about three miles to the school. At the house of Professor Willlam A. Gardner the visitors were received by Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel, who had remained there over night, and| Kermit Roosevelt and Rev. Peabody, the principal of the school. After dinner the party went to the “hundred house,” where the ‘President was introduced to an audience made up of about 150 students and parents and friends of the pupils. The Presi- dent gave what he was pleased to call *g short sermon to the boys.” The President talked a little on the subject of football and told the boys th take advantage of their education rightly and always play the game of football fairly. He expressed the opin- son vigorously that intercollegiate foot- ball should by no means be abolished. “I have given a sermon, though a hort one” concluded the President, 3 now I wish good luck to all of v e — When Hawali was discovered by Cap- tain Cook in 1778 it had a population of 200,000.

The officers of the California Wo- | man's Automobile Club passed a vote| of thanks yesterday to the dealers for| their kindness in having lent the extra automobiles used in the parade on Sat- urday. The show committee passed a vote of thanks to R. C. Ayers, head of the publicity departmemt, for his in- valuable services. . . Most of the dealers were glad when the doors closed on the show. It had been a strenuous week for them. They were at the Coliseum night and day | attending to the wants of prospective| purchasers. Keeping the show open on Sunday did not prove to be much of a success. The attendance in the after-| . 4 S noon was small, but in the evening it was greatly increased. . ey The Heine-Velox challenge to the Fiat is not likely to be taken up. The $5000 deposited in the hands 'of Fer- nando Nelson has not been covered by the Fiat representatives. Mr. Mauvis, who is at the head of the company handling the Heine-Velox, said yester- | day: % s “We have heard from the Fiat people, but they want to make it a three- cornered race, putting in the Locomo- bile as the third car. Now what a chance there would be for Jockeylng_f If they got us in the rut there would be no chance of our getting out. They would carry off our $5000, as they wanted to put up $2500 each while we put up the full sum. We are ready to race them separately for $2500 a side in each match.” George Roos, who owns the Fiat car, said he did not buy it for racing pur- poses. He intended to use it for tour- ing. If any accident occurred to the car during a race he would be without an automobile until another could be brought from the East. . . . Another racing event soon to take place will be the road race and hill climbing contest for Mitchell cars. Osen & Hunter, the local representatives, have two cups to be competed for, and as soon as the roads are in good condi- tion the contests will be brought off.

J THREATENS 0 MURDER - George Cooper, While in an Ugly Mood, Draws Razor on His Family OAKLAND, Feb. 24.—Brandishing a razor, with which he declared he would end the lives of his wife and two chil- dren, George Cooper, living at Twen- tieth and Brush streets, drove his fam- ily from the house this morning. On reaching the home of a neighbor, Mrs. Cooper notified the police of her hus- band’s threats, and a policeman was sent to the Cooper home, but Cooper escaped before the arrival of the pa- trolman. Mrs. Cooper informed the police that her husband had remained away from home Saturday night, and when he re- turned this morning he was in an ugly humor. He began to abuse her and finally ended by striking her in the face. Mrs. Cooper screamed for help, and her mother ran into the room, whereupon the enraged husband se- cured a razor and declared that he in- tended to kill his wife and their two children. % Several months ago, according to Mrs. Cooper, her husband lost his posi- tion with the John Breuner Company because of his refusal to take proper care of his family, but later was al- lowed to return to work on his promise to support his wife and children. The wife declares, however, that of late he has neglected his family. AN MATED COUNTY HAS A SLOT MACHINE WhR Newspaper Is Boycotted for Printing Article Against Owners of Devices SPECIAL DISPATCR TO THE CALL. REDWQOD CITY, Feb. 24.—A fight is being waged between the nickel-in-the- slot machine men and the citizens. A boycott 15 expected in which the saloon people would try to harm the business of the merchants who have declared their opposition to the machines. While the saloon influence is strong'through- out the’county the better class of citi- Zens, with the aid of the newspapers, have succeededl in persuading the Sher- iff and the District Attorney to act against the mechines and as a result the machines throughout the county are now idle. The fight was started several weeks l? when a local newspaper published an article against the owners of the machines. The owners of the devices immediately began a boycott of the paper and this move aroused public sentiment to such an extent as to cause an order to be issued from the District Attorney’s office closing the machines in the county. Charges of graft have been made by both sides against both the District Attorney and the Sheriff, the saloon people even going so far as to express their belief that the Sheriff had entered into a plot whereby one of his friends might buy the machines at Cabinets, Card Systems, Twinlock Fountain Pens.

In the tanks at the city prison are John Noppe, a brother of the| wounded man, and Frank Calbrese, ai cook at the Hastings Hotel, the former | being charged with the killing of Logue | and the latter with the shooting of Noppe. The trouble began with a quarrel be- tween Peter Noppe and Calbrese over Jennie Murphy, a waitress in the hotel. [After coming to blows the cook and| Noppe weré separated, and Noppe is alleged to have declared that he would kill Calbrese. Noppe went to his room, and Calbrese, fearing that he would keep his word, armed himself with a shotgun. A moment later Noppe ap- peared with a revolver in his hand, but bafore he could use the weapon Calbrese fired at him, the charge taking effect in his face and neck, destroying the sight of the right eye and tearing the flesh to shreds. Logue, hearing the shooting, ran around the hotel, just in time ta see Noppe, with blood streaming from his face, stagger into the annex of the| hotel. The ironworker followed Noppe into the hotel, and just what happened immediately afterward has not yet been jetermined. ‘A moment later Logue staggered from the house and fell to the ground, with a bullet through his| heart, while immediately behind him | John Noppe, a brother of the man who | had been shot by Calbrese, rushed from the place with a revolver in his hand, rnnning into the arms of Deputy Sheriff Herbert Lee, who, attracted by the shooting, reached the hotel just in time to see Logue fall to the ground. Assisted by Peter Hofster, a room- mate of the Noppe brothers, Lee dis- armed John Noppe and placed him un-i der arrest. The officer then entered the room occupied by Hofster and the| two brothers, where he found Peter Noppe with blood pouring from the wounds inflicted by Calbrese. Lee at once notified the Oakland police and Marshal Carey of Emeryville of the shooting, and-Calbrese and John Noppe ‘were removed to the City Prison, while the wounds of Peter Noppe were dressed at the Receiving Hospital. Logue was 30 years of age. Henry Logue, & well known pugilist, is his brother. G. H. Hastings, the proprietor of the hotel in which the trouble occurred, told a number of conflicting stories of the shooting, attempting to convince| the police that the shooting was all done outside the hotel. The falsity of his tale, however, was proved by Dep- uty Sheriff Lee and Hofster, who de- clared positively that Logue was shot inside the hotel annex. Inquiries at the: hotel regarding the cause of the shooting were met with violent abuse by Mrs. Hastings, the wife of the proprietor. The woman de- nied that any one by the name of Jen- nie Murphy was emptoyed in the place, despite the fact that the name had been furnished to the police by John Noppe when he told the cause of the trouble” which led to the shooting. The police have learned that the trouble began when Miss Murphy, who was talking to a man named George Rowland, refused to speak to Noppe as he passed/ He started to quarrel with the waitress and Calbrese inter- fered, and then it was that Noppe threatened to kill the cook.

COMBANY DAUGHTER 15 BEATEN BY BRUTAL FATHER Miss May Farrell of Berke- ley Compelled to Flee From Home BERKELEY, Feb. 24—A pitiful story of abuse at the hands of an un- natural parent is told by Miss May Far- rell, an 18-year-cld girl, wha has fled from her home in Addison street to shelter offered her by Mrs. Mary Lopez at 1114 Francisco street after treat- ment from her father which has aroused the girl's friends to demand his punishment. James Farrell is declared to have whipped his daughter, beating her for moré than an hour last night, because the girl was unable to give him the wages he believed she had been paid by an Oakland business man, whom she had served for three days of the week as a clerk. Miss Farrell became of age last Wednesday and was bidden to go out into the world and earn her living. She secured a place In Oakland, and on Sat- urday Farrell demanded the girl's wages. She had no money and so told him. Then, as she declares, her beat- ing began. Edward Giblon, a teamster employed by the Contra Costa Con- struction Company, heard the noise of the affair and ran to the girl's rescue. He was unable to help her, even after seeing her attempt to escape through a window, which was forced down upon her as she tried to jump through the aperture. After hours of distress the girl escaped from the house and made her way to the home of Mrs. Lopez, where she is domiciled. Complaint to the au- thorities is to be made to have the father of the girl punished. PSSR L S PIONEER WOMAN DIES—Alameda, Feb. 24.
