DEsPoNDENT BLACKSMITH
SLASHES HIS THROAT
John Brouil1ard Tries to Commit Sui
eide in Tankhouse at
West Oakland.

OAKLAND, Nov. 24.-Supposed de-
spondency because of family troubles led
John Brouillard, a blacksmith, to attempt
to commit suicide last night by cutting
his throat.
He was found half conscious and COW
cred with blood this morning in a tank
house at the rear of F. Sicotte's residence,
1885 Eighth street. Brouillard was hur-
ried to the Receiving Hospital. where a
cash three inches long in his throat was
sewed up. The doctors say he will re-
cover.
Sicotte explained that the despondent
blacksmith, whom he knew quite well,
arrived in town last evening from Point
Richmond, where he had been working
in the Santa Fe Railroad shops. Brouil-
lard wanted a place to sleep and was
given quarters in the tankhouse. One Of
the family went out this morning and
discovered Brouillard's condition. The
injured man told the hospital attendants
that he had been an inmate of the State
hospital at Agnews seven years ago. He
has a divorced wife residing in San
Francisco, who was notified Of her former
husbands condition
She went to the hospital and declared
that Brouillard was insane. He will be
held for examination by the Lunacy
Commissioners.

JAPAN TR|UMPHS
OVER THE GAR
Obtains From Korea
Concession Wanted
by Russia.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


TACOMA, Nov. 24-Japanese mail ad-
vices received to-day state that Japan has
scored victory over Russia in obtaining
from Korea an exclusive concession for
a large settlement at Chapakpo, near
Masampo. Several months ago Russian
men-of-war landed marines at Masampo
and surveyed a tract Of land amounting
to $50 acres. It was apparent that Russia
intended to demand either absolute title
or long time lease of this tract, thereby
obtaining a permanent foothold on the
Korean coast. BY strong representations
at Seoul Japan checkmated this move and
prevented its consummation.
Japanese diplomacy has since been ex-
erted to the fullest extent in gaining such
influence at Seoul as would make possible
the acquiring of this same property In
the interests of Japan. Three weeks ago
the Korean Government officially an
nounced that the concession covering the
entire 750 acres had been made in Japan q
favor. Japan is to have the policing Of
the new settlement, and must purchase
any portion owned by Korean subjects
within one year.

HALE FAVORS
LARGER NAVY
Says Congress Will Au-
thorize Increase Of
Officers and Men.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N
w, WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-"Congress
will provide a substantial though not an
extravagant increase of the navy during
the coming session. It will also authorize
an increase of the commissioned and en-
listed forces"
This prediction was made this afternoon
by Senator Eugene Hale of Maine, chair
man Of the Senate naval committee.
''It is difficult to exactly estimate the
extent of the increase Congress will au-
thorize," continued the Senator, "but 1
hardly believe it will be as great as the
department and the naval boards whose
advice has been sought desire. Congress
must make large appropriations, not only
for current expenses, but for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors, the construc-
ton of the isthmian canal, etc. 1t is our
aim to distribute the appropriations as
soon as possible. The naval estimates for
the next fiscal year are almost $100, ,0o0,-
900 larger than they have ever been.
Congress must, therefore, carefully
consider what it shall do in the way Of
augmentng the navy. Undoubtedly, the
policy of a steady increase should be con-
tinued, and will earnestly support 1t. l
am in favor of the construction of fast,
well-protected and heavily armored cruis-
ers rather than battleships, because 1 be-
lieve them capable Of more effective ser
vice. doubt if Congress will consent to
authorize the large increase of the COM
missioned force desired by the depart
ment, though 1T will probably authorize
the appointment of a sufficient number of
cadets at the naval academy TO prevent
under of1icering of the ships.
"It is not the intention of Congress that
all the ships should be kept in commits
sion, but that some Of them should be
laid I'D in ordinary, ready to enter into
commission the moment they are needed.
Consequently large increase of officers
the navy is insufficient, and provision for
ifs increase viii be made"

USES MOTORMAN
FOR A TARGET
William McMann Re-
ceives Bullet in His
Shoulder.
Policemen Have a Struggle
in Arresting His As
sailant.

A passenger on car 1149 of the Mission
street line, named Pietro Marchi, owner
of a fruit store at the corner of Twenty
fourth and Harrison streets, made things
lively last night for the motorman and
conductor. When the car reached Ingle-
side he became boisterous and was eject
ed from the car. He forthwith fired four
shots at the naotorman, William McMann,
one of which struck McMann on the left
shoulder, inflicting a painful, though not
a serious, wound. Later he took a shot
at Mounted Officer Hayes and was
dubbed into submission after a hard
fight.
Marchi got on at the lower end of the
run and was very boisterous all the way
out. When the car reached Ingleside he
was told that it would go no further, but
he refused to get off. He was finally eject
ed from the car. Just as the motorman
and conductor entered the car to sit
down, Marchi appeared at the other end,
pointed a pistol at the two men and fired
four shots at them.
One of the bullets struck McMann, the
gripman, in the left shoulder. The Italian
tnen retreated. Mounted Police officers
Hayes and Leonard, who were in the
neighborhood, heard the shots and went
after Marchi. When Hayes demanded his
surrender a shot fired at close range was
the answer.
Leonard then jumped into the affray
and both officers charged Marchi with
drawn clubs and pistols. Marchi attempt
ed 10 use his pistol again, but it was
knocked out of his hand. 1t took a num-
Der of blows from the officers clubs to
quiet him, but he was finally subdued
and placed in irons.
Motorman McMann was hurried to the
Southern Pacific Company Hospital,
where his wound was dressed.
march, was taken in the patrol wagon to
the City and County Hospital, where sew
eral cuts in his head caused by the i'm
pact Of the police officers clubs, were
dressed. He was finally taken to the
Seventeenth-street station, where two
charges of assault with intent to commit
murder were placed against his name.

u fore irrigations were established, six weeks
was deemed the duration OF an acute contracted
disorder If it proceeded beyond six weeks 1t
was considered to have gone into a chronic
condition. From statistics compiled from our
practice in the past five years, covering over
$500 cases. we can show that 80 per cent OF our
patients have recovered in fourteen days or
less It is therefore, equally proper to hold
that a case not entirely cured within two
weeks must be considered chronic one, and
patient should see a specialist We invite free
consultation on this subject and offer an ex-
perfence of over twenty years; In fact. We can
positively assert that We have never failed 70
cure in a single instance.
All VaricoceIes Should Be Cured
varicoeele is an enlargement Of the most
vital blood vessels in man. The function OF
these veins is to carry on waste, thus enabling
the ORGANS to receive fresh nutrition The dis
ease consists of a dflation and local stagnation
of blood from which the organs are deprived
of their proper quantity and quality OF nour-
ishment Varicocele is a very common dis
order Statistics show that 25 per cent OF the
male population are afflicted with some stage
of the disease We emphaticaly guarantee to
cure varicoceIe in one week at our office or
four weeks of home treatment. We have cured
over 5000 cases without a single failure or un-
pleasant result We mean by cure re-
establishment OF nutrition OF the organ. and its
function will be restored. We have shown this
result so often and can refer to so many cases
in proof Of this statement that we make it
without hesitation reserve. We invite COR
respondence and the fullest investigation Of
our methods.
