explain that he did not mean by ''influ-
ence" the use of money. but the explana-
ton did not SCI EN- to be we'll received. The
question of lice nses brought forth consid-
cradle discussion. 1t was stated that, not
outstanding the opposition of the bust
ness men TO licenses. they were necessary
to raise sufficient funds for tho towns
needs. The suggestion that only outside
trades be licensed with so heavy license

Town Attorney the opinion that such dis
erlmlnaton would be unconstitutional.

of Her Stepfather, Who Is
Afraid of His Life.

Mrs. Margaret E. Brodcr was arrested
by Policeman w. F. Brophy yesterday
afternoon and taken TO the City Prison,
where she was charged with carrying a
concealed weapon in the shape of loaded
revolver.
Mrs. BrOder's aged mother, Mrs. Born
heimer. about three years ago married j.
A. SaDdell, young barber. Mrs. Born
heimer is the owner of property valued at
about $4,000. she transferred the prop
erty to her young husband. and her chill
dren brought suit in the courts to have the
deed of transfer set aside on the ground of
undue influence. They lost the case, aud
since then there has been bitter feeling
among the children against Sandell.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Broder went
to her mother residence, 45S Hsight street,
aud as to what occurred there are conflict
ing statements. Sandell says she talked
TO him in language that was more forcible
than polite, ana finished up by pulling a
revolver out of her pocket. He immedi-
atelv grabbed her round the waist and
threw her out Of the house. Then he tele-
phoned TO the Central police alton for an
officer.
Policeman Brophy responded to the call
and on learning the circumstances he
went in search of Mrs. Broder, accom-
panied by Sandell. 1t was no. long
before Brophy found her in the house OF
Mrs. Mccain, a lady friend, on Lily
avenue. He placed her under arrest and
took her to the City Prison, still accom-
panied by Sandeli, who was laboring
under considerable excitement as he was
under the Impression that Mrs. Broder in
tended 10 shoot him. On being searched

she was booked for carrying a concealed
weapon.
Mrs. Broder denies that she had any
intention of shooting Sandeli. She said
Il went TO the house TO call upon my
mother and just as | was going over to
kiss her SaDdeiI seized me by the arms
and waist, dragged me out Of the house

CHAPLIN CLEARED
The San LeandrO Teacher
Happy Now.
An Investigation by the County Board
of Education and Its
Results.

It will be remembered that ID. Ii. Chap
lin. who was principal Of the San Leandro
School, left his post OF duty few weeks
ago and dropped com pletely out of sight.
This was great surprise to his friends, as
he was known to be happily married. with
a good position and in the line of promo
ton.
Investigation brought to light ugly
rumors connecting Chaplin's name with
those of some of his pupils. and it seems
that Chaplin himself had heard these
rumors and becoming worried over them
thought The best thing he could do would
be to leave. He accordingly took sudden
leave and when next heard from was In
San Diego at the home of his wife's pee
pie.
He wrote to say the charges were not
true and that he would return 10 refuLe
them. He did return and with a brother
of his from Santa Cruz the matter has
been siftsd to the bottom by the County
Board of Education.
The following communications have
been received by the board and form
a complete vindieation for the gentle
man:

FIFTY FIVE ACTS.
The Latest Sensation in
Chinese Drama.
A New Play That Will Last Over
Six Months to Be
Produced.

An eminent Chinese author has recently
devoted his time to the production of q
play that is exciting the playgoers of
the Flowery Kingdom. 1t will be shortly
introduced in San Francisco.
The prospectus of the new play has
been sent to this city and it is declared by
Chinese dramatic critics that its produc-
ton will make decided hit.
"Kom Moo Git By" is the title of the
sensational drama, which is enacted In
ffty-fve acts. with only a half dozen
changes of scenes. Much is left to the
for. literally translated. the six shifts
would really mean: Scene /, garden
scene 2, another garden; scene 3. yard to
a castle; scene 4. room in the castle !;
scene 8, another room in the castle; scene
6, still another room in the castle.
"Kom Moo Git By" can be acted for six
10 onlhs. It goes miuutely into the details
of the life of a bold warrior who under
took, some time during the middle ages, to
subdue tribe of iawless invaders of his
domains.
Devils aud dragons were, of course, allies
of the enemy, and many blood-eurdling
battles were fought between man and
spirit and between warrior and warrior.
Several maidens of remarkable beauty
figure prominently in the plot and appear
on the stage at the most unexpected times.
The principal actor Is nearly always
busily engaged in crossing swords with
fiends who desire to capture the maids and
vanish with them to the bad place or hold
them as captives, for whom the heroes of
the play must fight long and terrible duels.
If the play is put on at San Francisco
the company will have to have lease on
the Chinese Theater for seven months at
least, for there may be some necessary
additions to the dialogue TO ut 1t for re-
hearsal in a civilized ard Americanized
community.
There will be seven principals and about
fit cen auxiliaries in the cast of TX IN
Moo Git b." all of whom will be i'm
ported directly from the Orient.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 27.-Eighty psc

One Of the electric cars ON the San
Mateo road overturned while descending
steep grade at Thirtieth street and
Cheney avenue. When part way down
the grade the motormsn found the car
was getting beyond control, and sig
nailed to the conductor to put on the
brakes. The car. which was big
double-ender, had about 80 people on
board, and the conductor was inside coll
lecting fares. He was unable to reach
the brakes, but some of the passengers
on the rear platform, realizing the dan
ger, attempted to set the brakes. 1t was
too late, however, and the car with its
load of human freight plunged with in
creasing speed down the hill.
