AN IMPORTANT CLEW.
Alberta Stuart Was Seen Drinking
Soda With an Unknown Man.
Police Start to Work With
Renewed Energy.
Medical Examiner Positively Asserts That the
Girl Was Murdered.

Boston, July 3l.-Medical Examiner
Harris, who held an autopsy on the body
OF Alberta Stuart the girl who was
found in the Charles river. made his Off
DIAL report yesterday. The medical ex
aminer believes that the girl was mur-
dered
The police made big advancement
In the case yesterday. Inspector Dugan
said that he had found the most important
clew yet. When asked for the nature Of
the cew he said:
"We have found out that Alberta Stuart,
with strange man, was in store on
Green street at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon.
He bought her a glass of soda water. The
girl i'm the store knew Alberta, for she
went to the same school with her. She
did not know the man. She described
him rs feet inches tall dark COM
pexion, and described his dress She said
she noticed him particularly on account of
her knowing Alberta.
1.-The two were not in the store more
than three minutes. They were there long
enough to purchase and drink the soda
water. They came from the direction of
Charles street, and
Returned In That Direction.
"We do not know this man. We would
very much like to see him. He may not
know anything of Alberta after taking
her to that store, for she certainly went
back to her sisters house on Myrtle street
after that. 1t was 4:3O when she was
given the letter to mail by her sister, and
1t was later when the little Fennelly girl
saw her run down Revere street toward
Charles. The question Is, Did she meet
that man again' This Is what the police
will strive now to discover"
With such an important clew as this to
work upon, the police have started In with
renewed energy to unravel the mystery.
Nothing was known by Inspector Dugan
previous to this about Alberta's having
been away from home that day for any
length Of time
Alberta's sister was very positive in stat
ing that Alberta had no male friends
with whom she went anywhere. But the
Green-street story is undoubtedly true,
which shows that Alberta's sister did not
know all about her.
Maggie Stuart, when she was seen by
Inspector Dugan after the body Of AL
berta was found, gave
List of the Lodgers
in her house. She said there were two
male dodgers, Maurice Cummings, a
grocer, and j. K. Dodge, gasfitter. There
were some women dodgers besides. Yester-
day the police discovered that third man
lodged in the house. He was roommate
of Dodge.
The police, while they attach very little
Importance to this omission, think it is
odd that the third mans name was not
given. The police last night stated that
they did not know the name Of this man.
Maggie Stuart has gone to Nova Scotia
with the body of Alberta, and will not re-
turn until tomorrow

HOW MRS. KLINE RISEED Her LIFE
10 Save a Helpless Infant From Being
Injured.
An Heroic Act That May Cost Her
Great Suffering, if Nothing
Worse Than hat.

There was sensational runaway acci-
dent on Fifth street, between l and J
yesterday afternoon, and as the result
Mrs. Kline, housekeeper for NJ. Donovan,
foreman on the Haggin Grant. received
injuries that may prove very serious.
Mrs. Kline, who is an elderly lady. was
seated in her buggy, near the alley on
Fifth street, when horse attached to a
Chinese delivery wagon dashed rapidly
around the corner from J street and COL
Hded with her vehicle with great force.
Mrs. Kline had young child in her
arms, and when she saw the runaway ap-
preaching she attempted to gather UP the
lines, with the intention OF turning her
horse into the alley to avoid collision:
but was too late.
There was smash. Her horse ran at
the top of his speed. and she tried in vain
to check him. Then, determined to save
the child at all risks, she held it firmly TO
her breast and sprang from the vehicle.
AS she fell she threw herself so as to
strike on her back in the center of the
street, and IL this way saved the child
from injury.
Bystanders ran to her assistance, and
Mrs. ,. Il. Nagley, residing at 915 Fifth
street, had the injured woman taken to
her home, where she ministered to her
comfort while awaiting the arrival of a
physician.
Mrs. Kline is suffering from severe
contuslons, and complains of great pain
IN the abdomen. Fears are entertained
that she has suffered internal injuries.
y man who claims to have seen the
whole occurrence says ne never had the
fortune to witness an act of more SUBJ
lime herolsm than was displayed by Mrs.
Kline in saving the little child at the risk
OF severe injury to herself.

HOW MEN ARE KEPT FROM BEGGING
The Good Work of the Federation of
Benefcence.
Committeeman Weinstock Asks the
Supervisors to Continue it's Aid by
Purchasing Crushed Rock.

At the meeting of the Board of Super
of the Committee of Religious Benefi-
cence, submitted a statement as to the
broken rock delivered to the county. In
all there has been delivered up to dat Q
1910 Gu bic feet, which, at the rate of 81 Is
cubic yard, or cents a cubic foot,
amounts to $500 so, less $500 received
from the county, leaving a balance due
the committee of 500 so. The committee
desired that warrant be allowed in it's
favor for that amount.
Mr.. Weinstock stated that since the
rock-pile has been in operation, Begin
ming with December 18th, period of
about ten weeks, the committee has fur
nIshed 1921 meals and lodgings TO men.
The committee has received :, 1925 applica-
tlons for work. Employment has been
given to as many as eighty-three hungry
men III one day. and even at this time,
Mr.. Nelnstock stated, although the
weather has been clear and the distress
not so keen as during the midwinter, the
committee is still giving employment 10
an average Of twenty-five men a day,
who, by virtue OF the rock-pile, are kept
from begging or starving.
Mr. Weinstock stated that the commit
tee has done a most excellent work
First. in keeping the city free from beg
gars, and second, IN keeping the unem-
ployed from becoming beggars. The
committee deeply appreciates the
splendid help the Board of Supervisors
has given it in purchasing liberal GUAM
tity of the broken rock. Mr.. Weiustock
said that without the aid Of the board the
committee could not have continued in
its work.
lin addition to the purchase made by
the county" Mr.. Weinstock said, 1--WE
have sold a considerable quantity to pri-
vate parties, who now seem supplied.
The committee is being strongly urged
from all quarters TO continue its work, as
the good it has accomplished seems to De
very generally appreciated, and it is
feared that II the rock-piIe is discontin-
ued the men who are now kept from beg
ging will be forced to join the ranks of
the beggars and the professional tramps
are likely to again invade the city.
since the private parties who have
been buying rock seem now TO have
their wants fully supplied, we do not
see our way clear to continue the work,
unless we can find a further outlet for
the product. We would, therefore, ask
you to consider the matter, and we trust
you may see your way clear, in the
1urtherance of this work, to give our
committee an order for another supply,
SO that We may be thus enabled to carry
on the good work"

METHODIST SCHOOLS.

Progress of the Colleges at Santa
Clara and Napa.
The educational work of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in Northern California
is being carried forward with new vigor.
Until last September this church had two
schools-the University of the Pacific
and the Napa College.
The former enjoys the distinction of
being the oldest institution of higher
learning in California. 1t was founded
in 1851, and received it's charter during
the same year. Originally located IN the
town of Santa Clara, 1t consisted of two
associated, yet separate, schools-the col
lege and the Female Institute. In 1871
the n were consolidated and removed to
tht II present location, at College Park,
San q Clara County.
Tne Napa College is in the city of Napa.
lie property was purchased in 1870 and
Tor fifteen years the school was known as
the Napa Collegiate Institute In 1885 a
relncorporatIon was effected, and the
name was changed to Napa College. Full
power was then received to grant any
such literary honors as are usually
granted by any college in the United
States.
The California Annual Conference OF
the church controls these schools. At
Its last session it consolidated them
under the name of 1.-The University of
the Pacific" The name of the school at
College Park was changed to 1.-The San
Jose College," and vigorous efforts were
set IN motion to pay the debt of $50, 600
resting upon the consolidated institu-
tlon. The preachers of the conference
subscribed $40, 300. Rev. f. f. Jewell,
ID. d., was elected Chancellor of the Uni
yersity and given the work of raising the
balance of the Indebtedness. Suisse
quenty Re7. j. n. Beard, D. D., was
elected President of the University.
More than one-half Of the money
needed to pay the debt has been SUBJ
scrlbed, and assurances have been re-
celved that as soon as this work shall
have been completed the endowment will
be very largely increased and the educa-
tlonal work placed on a sound financial
basis AND fully provided against the
necessity OF again going into debt
