Attacks His Mother and Creates

OAKLAND, CAL, June "a = William
Collins wrecked the home of his mother
at 1877 Eighth street this afternoon, at
tackled her and created such sensa-
ton that the neighborhood was thor
oughly aroused. He is a young man,
about 26, who has been weakminded for
several years, but was considered perfectly
harmless.
Without the least warning he went into
a frenzy, smashed all the windows in the
place, drove his aged mother and a sister
out of the house, smashed the stove to
smithereens and set to work to demoish
the furniture. His mother attem pied to
pacify him, but he turned on her, slapping
her in the face. Before he could do her
further harm she escaped to the street,
where by this time had gathered quite a
crowd.
No one dared to enter the place until an
officer arrived, when Collins was secured
and taken to the County Jail to await ex-
animation for insanity. When questioned
as to why he had become so destructive he
said that fly had bit him on the face and
he wanted to kill it. Mrs. Collins said to-
night that their lives would not be safe if
he returned, and she was anxious to have
HIM sent to an asylum.

A Former Resident of Lorin in Trouble
in Shasta County.
OAKLAND, CAL, June 25.-Word has
been received here that G. G. Richards, a
former resident of Lorin, has been charged
with bigamy by his first wife, and that
while under bonds to appear for trial next
Tuesday on that charge, he has absented
himself, until the idea has gained general
belief that he has left to avoid further
trouble.
This, however is denied by his friends
in bis former home at Lorin, who say he
WILDE on hand to prove he is innocent of
any wrong when the proper time arrives,
but that meanwhile he is III San francisco
conferring with his attorneys and securing
the necessary evidence to clear himself of
the pending char e.
Richards was married in Michigan
twenty-five years ago, as far as can be
learned, and separated from his wife some
ten wears later, and as he supposed was
divorced. He married again, but his wife
soon died. He married the third wife and
had been living with her at Lorin until he
went to French Gulch to mine. A couple
of months ago his wife and family joined
him there, and everything appeared TO
be progressing nicely.
1t was at this point that Mrs. Richards
No. 1 appeared and claimed that he had
never been legally separated from her.
She even swore to a complaint charging
him with bigamy. He was arrested and
taken to Redding, where he gave bonds for
his appearance for trial. Since that time
he has not been seen by those who were
former friends.

APPEAL OF BLIND MEN,
Object to Being Classed With

The Sightless Workers Who Ask the
State Labor Commissioner for
Protection.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL. |

OAKLAND OFFICE DAN L FRANCISCO OALI.f
908 Broadway, June 25. {
The blind broommakers are aggrieved.
A few weeks ago a petition was addressed
to Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald by fifty
representatives of the broommaking in
dustIy OF San Francisco, asking for relief.
The petition was printed in full in The
CALL of June 9. Since that time the blind
workers in the Home for Adult Bind in
North Oakland have held several informal
meetings, and to-day they prepared a pc
tition to the Labor Commissioner, giving
their view of the situation.
1--WE feel that we are likely to suffer
from the Misrepresentation made in the
petition" said E. B. Taylor, who was dele
gated to visit the Oakland office of The
CALL, "and we are forced to defend our
selves"
The petition contains the following:
Heretofore we could compete with other
manufacturers only in the poorer class of
brooms. In these there is no profit. But I'M
der the guidance of sight and skill we have
been able to place upon the market the best
quality of brooms Qn which there is profD
and we are very proud of it; proud OF the fact
that we stand on an equality with those arti-
sans.who have sight; proud OF the fact that we
can earn dollar of our own; and still more
proud that il does not cost the State cent.
Among the numerous orders received during
the last few months was one Tor 1000 dozen
best quality brooms at current prices. This
hurts the San Francisco manufacturer and he
gets together fifty men and boys (mostly boys
and hImbly petitions you, as an official OF the
State. to crush our manhood by taking from
us our employment and to turn this hive OF in
dustry into a State almshouse.
Blind workers everywhere enter more or less
into competition with the seeing men of other
trades, and for many years industrial homes
have been established in several States of this
Union and also by the governments of other
countries, and IT is nowhere on record, either
here in America or in Europe, that any class
of artisans have ever appealed to the authori-
ties to abolish such industries except these fifty
San Francisco broommakers; and we venture
the assertion, sir, that the broommakers who
signed this petition were instigated TO do so by
one or more OF the manufacturers in San Frae-
cisco and we further assert that no American
artisan would append his name to any petition
to destroy our industry unless forced 10 do so
through fear OF discharge.
They claim in their petition that ''tne State
should prote It the honest American laborer in
n chance to make q living" We wish TO
Droye to you that we are "bonest American
faborers'' and that the State is only protecting
us in chance to make living. We wish 10
snow YOU that those who walk III the realm of
darkness should have the privilege of being
selfsuppor ting and independent as well as
those who walk in the realm OF light.
