PUT OFF BY CONDUCTOR,
FIRES SHOT At ANOTHER
John Lefevre Under Arrest on a
Charge of Assault to Com
NIT Murder.

John Lefevre. who claims to be the
keeper of a boarding house at First and
Folsom streets, took a shot at Martin
Guyer, conductor of car plying over the
Eddy street route to the beach, when the
car was passing Seventh avenue last
night at 11:45 o'clock. He was arrested
and charged with an assault to commit
murder. The bullet just grazed Guycr 5
face.
Lefevre was out to the beach with a
crowd of sailors. On the return trip he
created a disturbance on the car and was
put off by the conductor. The next car to
come along was in charge of Guyer.
Without warning Lefevre, who was stand
ing near the tracks, drew his revolver and
fired shot at the conductor. The car did
not stop, and on arriving at the Haight
street entrance to the park the assault
was reported to the police.
Policemen McManuS and O'Shea were
sent out on the case. They found Le-
fevre, who was making for town on foot,
They placed him under arrest. When
searched at the station a revolver with
one chamber exploded was found on his
person. The first report sent out was to
the effect that masked robbers had at
tempted to hold up the car, but such was
not the fact

SUIT AGAINST THE EGG
ADDLERS IS DISMISSED
Charles n. Champion and Fruitvala
Quarry Company Settle Differ
ences Out of Court

OAKLAND, Nov. 6.-The suit brought
by Charles N. Champion, through At
torney General Tirey l.. Ford, against the
Fruitvale Quarry Company to enjoin it
from operating a quarry in Fruitvale and
injuring the business of the chicken
ranchers in the neighborhood through fire.
quent blasting that would necessarily en-
sue, was dismissed to-day, the attorneys
for the litigants having arranged a COM
promise.
One of the reasons why the plaintiff did
not want the quarry in his neighborhood
was that the violent conclusions were apt
to addle the eggs his chickens laid and in
lure the health of the fowls. The plain
tiffs sought a permanent injunction to re-
strain the defendants, but now this Is not
necessary and the eggs and chickens are
safe.

party machinery for railroad uses was
Matched during the last session of the
Legislature. A measure was put through
the Legislature to fasten bossiSm on the
people. 1t was engineered by Herrin and
publican. 1t provided for the interven-
ton of a State Central Committee into
local affairs. The vicious law was in
Commission of San Francisco to recognize
an apportionment of delegates, and a call
for local convention emanating from the
-Crimmins County Committee. The
day that the Republican State Central
Committee came to San Francisco and at
a general meeting in Golden Gate Hall
slapped the Independent anti-boss Repub-
licans in the face, the defeat of the party
in the municipal election was rendered
certain. Attention of Republicans and the
Republican press throughout the State Is
directed to this phase of the contest. Had
our citizens belonging to the Republican
party been left alone to adjust their diff
ferences, harmony might have been re-
stored, but after Judge Mckinley, at the
with a prepared programme to exclude
the Republican Primary League, there
was no hope for peaceful adjustment. The
Independent Republicans determined TO
fight the boss machine and they fought
and won.
The victory has much more than local
significance. 1t means the overthrow of
the boss machine in State politics. Sem
ator Perkins will have no further trouble
in determining on which side Of the fence
he shall alight John Lynch, the obtru-
sive and offensive collector of internal
revenue whose displacement Senator Bard
recommends, cast his political fortunes
with the bosses and went down to igno-
minious defeat. His days as a Federal
ofice-holder are numbered. Stephen Kelly
of San Bernardino is getting ready to file
his official bond as collector of internal
revenue for this district.

ones out of 200 competitors, and in the final
schools he acquitted himself well that the
highest degree ever given conferred upon
him and he admitted to membership of
the Hanlin College, the highest literary body
in the whole empire. 1t may be remarked here
that the studious habits of his youth were
kept up in after life and there were few pro-
fessional scholars in the whole vast empire
who could claim any advantage within the
range of the Chinese curriculum over the busy
old diplomat.
Membership in the Hanlin College carried
with it a certain salary, besides entaling the
duty of furthering by every possible means the
advance of learning. AS a rule a member of
the Hannn College received in his turn an
appointment in the public service, and this
would have been his lot but for the interven-
tion Of extraordinary circumstances by which
his energies were diverted into a much wider
and more active sphere than usually falls to
the lot of Chinese civilians.
