SCARE OVER THE BERKELEY.
False Rumor That Ferryboat Had
Been Sunk.

: The ferryboats had an inning on the
water front yesterday. There was an at
tempted suicide on the Piedmont and a
rumor got around town that the Berke-
ley had been sunk and 375 people
drowned. The foundation for the latter
story has been traced back to the Rio
disaster. At that time spiritualist as
serted that she had located the wreck of
the unfortunate liner and at the same
time predicted that the ferry steamer
Berkeley would go down on November 20
or the noon trip and that 375 people would
be drowned. Some one remembered the
story and spoke about it aboard the YES
sell 1t gradually spread and finally
reached the uptown offices in the nature
of a tale of real disaster. Between / and
2 o. the phones on the front were
kept busy answering queries and finally
the people there became so exaspera ted
that a purse of 500 was raised to pay
any one who would hunt up the originator
of the canard and bring him to the ferry
depot
Just about the time the Berkeley was
supposed to have gone down the Piedmont
was on her way across the bay A cry
Of Man overheard" caused the captain
to lower a boat and in a few minutes a
half crazy individual was picked UP and
brought back aboard. At the Harbor
Hospital he gave his name as J. l.,
Thompson, but at the Central Emergency
Hospital he said his name was j. L. Dro-
han and said he was formerly bar
keeper in the Hoffman. He had been on
prolonged spree and sought to end his
life while suffering from delirium tremens

LITTLE DORIS.
FATE At ISSUE
Japanese Child Actress
Subject Of Court
Contest.

Doris Hannah Shumozumi is the very
big name of a very little Japanese girl,
over whom contest bringing into play
all the majesty of American law is being
Waged in the Superior Court of this city.
Diminutive Miss ShumozumTs fate is in
the balance, for upon the decree of the
Judge who is hearing all about her case
depends whether she shall remain in the
United States, which has been her home
since infancy, and be brought up as a
Christian maiden, or shall be carried over
the seas to the land of her nativity, there
to become q Madame Butterfly
Doris Shumozumi is not ordinary
Japanese child. She speaks English like
a native and has gained much local fame
as a dancer and child actress, her tutor
being Miss Susie de Angels of 700 Cali
fornla street, formerly all actress of note,
and who has had charge OF Doris nearly
all the time since she was fourteen
months old. She is only only years of
age.
Mrs De Angels wants to retain pos
session of the little Americanized Jap
anese maiden who has proven so intel
ligent and clever, and has asked to be
appointed her guardian. Doris Hannahs
parents want to take her away to Japan,
TO which country they. are going to 1--we.
her parents are to sail tomorrow for
Japan.
yesterday, Mrs. De Angels having ap-
piled for a writ of habeaS corpus, upon
which she hoped to obtain possession of
the child. The little one was in court
with her parents.
The first move to make Doris perma-
nent resident of America was unsuc-
cessful. The writ of habeas corpus was
denied.
Mrs De Angels told the court how Dor
is parents had brought her TO her when
she was a mere mite and asked her to
care for the tot. She took the little one
because she did not think the parents
were MT custodians, she said, the mother
especially, leading a life that did not
qualify her TO bring up children proper
~. according to Mrs. De Angels. The
parents paid SIS a month for the child's
maintenance. After three and a half
brought her back, placing her once more
in the custody of Mrs. De Angels, who
then accepted $40 month from them. The
money received from the Shumozumis
only sufficed to pay for Doris clothes
and education, Mrs. De Angels said
Recently the parents again obtained
possession of the child.
Mrs. De Angels, when asked as to how
much Doris earned when she performed,
informed his Honor that the child's sal
airy ranged from IS to $40 a week, part
OF which was earned by Nelta Fulton,
Mrs. De Angels granddaughter who
furnished the music for the nimble-footed
little Jap.
Mrs. De Angels said that since learn

girl as performer was Objectionable

| ET HE little steam schooner Cordelia
Head is somewhere off the Heads
| battling with the elements. Her
| III crew Of two men were short of pro-
| visions when spoken by the pilot
boat Oracle S, which supplied their
wants. That was two days ago, however,
| and as the captain expected to make port
in few hours the chances are that they
! are on short rationS again.
The Cordelia Head is the queerest look
built by ]. L. Head in Oakland Creek and

for voyage to the Klondike, but when
| he had her ready to start the crew re-
took command and finally got the vessel
away. Once outside the craft was found
to be toDheavy and the crew insisted on
coming back to port. This was done and
after the deckload had been removed the
| little vessel made a fresh start. This
time she was driven south to San Pedro
and there the gold hunters abandoned the
voyage.
For several months the Cordelia Head
lay in San Pedro harbor and finally her
owner found a purchaser for her. The
new owner is a rancher, but thought he
could sail the craft to a place on the
klamath River, where he knew there was
in the engine-room he hoped to erect
mill and with the assistance of his deck
hands develop the mine. They made
start from San Diego on September 81
Recently she made another start and is
now in a sad plight. Nearly all the sails
have been blown away, the standing rig
ging is nearly all gone and the little yes
sci looks almost a wreck.
Captain Matthewson of the Oracle S

thought it derelict when first saw
it. 1 went aboard and asked the captain If he
wanted pilot. He said No he could
make port without help. l told him it
going to blow. but he said his vessel went over
the waves like cork and he had fear.
They were out of tobacco and had been smok-
ing coffee for several weeks, went back
to the pilot-boat and not only gave them to-
bacco, but quantity of other provisions While
the Cordelia Head is a steam vessel still
