WOMAN IS SHOT
BrUNkNOWN MAN
Wound Is Supposed to
Be the Result Of
Accident.
Patron of Shooting Gallery
Explodes Weapon and
Hits Attendant.

Miss May Wight, twenty-five years CT
age. who lives with her parents at S1i
Chestnut street. was shot last night by
an unknown man while she was in charge
of Mrs BeaPs shooting gallery at 496
Dupont street and serious wound was
inflicted. The bullet passed through the
right lung
Two men entered the gallery last night
and one proposed that they shoot in a
contest to see which one should pay for
the shots used, the weapon to be used
in the contest being a 22-caliber revolver
Miss Wight loaded the revolver for the
first shooter until he had fired three shots.
1t was then the second mans turn to
shoot. and Miss Wight loaded the
weapon for him. AS the second man took
the revolver his finger probably came IN
contact with the trigger, and the weapon
was discharged. The bullet entered Miss
Wights right breast and passed through
the right lung lodging in her back. The
shooter. fearing that serious damage had
been done, Immediately dropped the re-
volver and made his escape down Dupont
street, his companion remaining on the
scene some time, but later disappeared.
Miss Wight staggered from behind the
counter and into the street, where George
Fivie of 319 Grant avenue took charge of
her and assisted her to a grocery store
at the corner of Pine and Dupont streets.
An ambulance was called and the wound
ed woman was removed 10 the Central
Emergency Hospital, where DIR. Harvey
extracted the bullet.
Miss Wight stated that the two men
were strangers to her, and that she does
not remember of having seen either Of
them before.
She describes the man who shot her as
being about feet 8 inches tall, of aver
age build, dark complexion and wearing
a black mustache and a dark suit of
clothes The second man was slightly
taller of dark complexion, with a black
mustache, and wore a light cOlored over
coat
Detective Reynolds and Dell were de-
tailed on the case, but could find no trace
of the men last night. Charles Whithead. /.
who was a witness to the shooting, stated
that the taller man did not go away from
the locality Immediately, but left before
the officers appeared.
DR.. Harvey of the Central Emergency
Hospital stated last night that the
wounds would not necessarily prove fatal
unless complica tions set in.
This is the second shooting of this kind
that has happened in shooting galleries
OH Dupont street in the last two years.
the first case being the killing of Adolph
Oppenheim in his shooting gallery, two
doors below the scene of last nights oc-
currence, whose manner of death is still
one of the unsolved mysteries of the city.

MES Suggesting Tui-
tiOn Fees.
Resolutions Of the Federated

oakland once San Francisco can.


Ills Broadway. Jan H.
The Federated Trades Council of Ala
media County has adopted resolutions de-
nouncing President Benjamin Ide Wheeler
of the University of California for the al
legged suggestion that a tuition fee be
charged students at that institution
1t is set forth in the resolutions that
the working people of the State can only
cOnstrue the suggestion as a direct slap
at Them" with the intention OF prevent
ing their children entering the institution.
1t is resolved that the Governor and leg
islators be appealed to for protection. and.
that a tuition fee should be charged aliens
only.
President Wheeler. in reply fatty de-
MES that he ever suggested the charging
of tuition fees. He says the action Of The
Labor Council was based on an erroneous
press dispatch and that he did not suggest
that a tuition fee be charged The plan
of charging a tuition fee has not been
considered and nothing in his report sug-
Sests such charge, ne says President
Wheeler further says that no one with
two lObes To his brain could have drawn
any such deduction from his report.
The reference to tuition fees in Presi-
dent Wheeler's biennial report, which
gave rise to the controversy, is as fol-
lows:
Universities which charge tuition fee Rnd
in this means or profit and elasticity OF tNs
budget through which some approximate adj
justment of the income to the various de-
mands of the different years is autounatica1l,y
effected. In the year 19OO-I9O1 Harvard Uni

S4CO,OOO in tuition fees. II like fee were
charged at this university the increase In
the undergraduate enrolment Of the last two
years would have brought with il an increase
in income OF more than $4,000 As it Is
every increase in the enrolment brings tine

HUGHES MAKES REPLY.

Martin Hughes said last night:
The above letter was written without the
authority Of the Building Trades Council
Mccarthy was acting on our committee until
a short time and now he is out against
the proposed ordinance. The letter rnisrep-
resents things very unjustly. In the first
place the ordinance the metal roofers are in
terested in has not as yet been submitted to
the Board Of Supervisors. There is no sug-
Sestion of creating monopoly in business
in the ordinance which We will propose It
is drafted to coQerm to the fire ordinance
and is a fair measure. We have proven that
composition roof is not fire proof and we
propose to see, If possible that no more are
placed buildings within the fire limits
The carpenters will not be affected by the
proposed ordinance any more than they were
under the old fire limit law. After build
ing has been damaged 40 per cent by fire
the law does not allow the owner to put on
a shingled roof. We are not trying to create
a monopoly. All want to do is to get an
ordinance passed by the Board of Supervisors
which will conform to the fire laws

SCOTS EMULSION.
81 10 So

That's the proper proper
ton of animal and mineral
matter in the bones of a
healthy child = thirty-seven
per cent. animal and sixty.
three per cent. mineral. The
bones Of the average rickety
child show about seventy-nine
per cent. animal and twenty.
one per cent. mineral matter.
It's this lack of sufficient
mineral matter in the bones
that makes a child have rick
cts. Deformities of the chest
and head, bent legs and curved
spine are some of the results
of rickets.
The disease is one Of early
life, and the first symptoms
are shown in the digestive
organs. Usually the appetiteiS
poor and the child grows dull
and fretful. There are pains
in the limbs and joints. The
pulse beats quicker and the
veins become slightly swollen;
gradually the whole body be-.
comes tender and the face
shows signs of waste, depres-
sion and WEAKNESS. Then,
the action of the disease be-
gins in the bones. The legs
are first to show the effects
when they fail to support the
child properly. AS a matter
of fact, the bones cease to
grow at this stage. Proper
nourishment for the whole
body, and particularly for the.
bones, is the best possible
treatment; in fact, it is the
only treatment.
SCOTS Emulsion is there
fore the natural remedy for
rickets, as pure cod liver oil
is the most effective of all
remedies for this disease.
The hypophosphites of lime
and soda contained in SCOTS
Emulsion feed the bones and
furnish them with the means
to grow properly. 1t also
helps the digestion and pro
videS nourishment that can
not be secured so well in any
other way. 1t quickly enables
the rickety child to make up
lost ground, and insures a
healthy, natural growth. Be-
ing as palatable as cream and
more nutritious, SCOTS Emul-
sion is easily accepted by the
most delicate stomach.
These claims are not made of-hand
We know from nearly thirty years contact
with such cases that Scott's Emulsion win
do Just what we say ii will do We win be
glad to send you a sample free 50 that you
can judge for yourself
