PAINTER HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH

Antona Toxeda, residing at 922 Jackson
street and employed by the San Fran
cisco Gas and Electric Company as a
painter, is at the Wadeck Sanatorium
suffering from the effects of 5000 volts Of
electricity which passed through his body
while he was plying his trade yesterday.
Toxeda was painting poles at First ave-
nue. and Jackson street. when he slipped
from one of the crosstrees. In his en-
deavor to save himself he caught hold of
a wire which yielded to his weight suffi-
ciently to draw his left arm on to a live
electric wire carrying a current of 5000
volts.
The current burned through his left
wrist to the bone, cutting several tendons
and just missing the principal artery. His
foot came in contact with another live
wire, which burned through his shoe and
caused deep laceration of the foot.
Toxeda was rescued from his perilous
position by his fellow workmen and hur-
ried to the Central Emergency Hospital,
where his injuries were treated. after
which he was removed to the Waldeck
sanatOrium

NANCE 0 NEIL
SCORES AGAIN
AS Lady Macbeth the
Actress Wins Fresh
LaurelS.

With a great, shining name OF red-gold
hair framing her face. like ivory against
its glowing background. her splendid body
clothed in the archaic splendors OF the
fourteenth century, Nance ONeil, as
Lady Macbeth is a picture unforgettable
in itself, But there is much more to the
Macbeth" that the Grand Opera House
is giving this week. Reverence, dignity
sincerity are in every line Of 1t, and a
splendor and correctness of production
that reflects the highest credit on the
management.
There is much due to the Grand Opera
house management on many scores, and
tEis weeks Macbeth" must be heavily
counted in. There isn't hole in the cast
from top to bottom, the first murderer"
showing the same reverent intelligence
IN his lines Macbeth himself. The at
mosphere throughout is wonderfully pre-
served. and the mountings remind insist
emily of Grau himself GTau did nothing
better in the way of illusion than the
eerie scene in the witches cavern, where
the laugh is usually on the apparitiOns
But these appeared with distinctly shud-
derry effect and the scene was one of the
most effective in the plays The crowds
were also feature in their picturesque
anu lllG stage
throughout was notably good.
But Miss ONeil waits. She looks Lady
Macbeth most handsomely to begin with.
That hair, her fine aquiline profile, the
splend,dly dly-modeled chin, white, columnar
neck, rising like some large archaic lily
from the picture gowns, paint a Lady
Macbeth that would not be forgotten if
she were there only to be looked at But
Miss O'Nen has the same atmosphere of
aucientry in her acting as in her beauti-
full seeming. She gets the flavor OF old
DAYS most vividly into her work.
Again her Lady Macbeth has all [
sweep. largeness of accent. lavish dignity.
of the strenuous players of bygone days,
without their more patent eXtravaganees.
Miss O'Neil is perhaps at her best in the
first scene, where she urges her hus-
band to the murder; but is also effective
in the famous sleepwalking scene. Her
lines are given with strong intelligence.
and the depth of her voice, sometimes
unpleasant, seems here to harmonic
with the strength and cruelty of the
character.
E. ]. Ratcliffe in the support is efficient
as Macbeth, perhaps overacting to some
extent, but showing spirit, strength and
intelligence. Mr. Milward is a gentle
manly Banquo. and Macduff is adequately
portrayed by Mr.. Mayall. Mr.. Butler is
very competent as Duncan. and the rest
of the cast is all exceptionally effective.

tain of Detectives Martin last night

asked Nelson for match, at the same
time seizing the whip from its socket In
the wagon. Nelson jumped from his seat
to the ground, and the horse started to
go and had probably gone about a third
of a block before it was stopped. Nelson
came running up to the wagon and said
he had been held up and robbed by the
man who asked him for a. match.
He drove to Fillmore and Lombard
streets. where the police were notified.
The police became suspicious and Mel
son was taken before Captain of Detec-
tives Martin, and after being subjected
TO rigorous sweating" process con-
fessed that the whole thing was huge
bluff; that he was short of coin and took
that means of making up the discrep-
ancy.
Detective ODea was detailed on the
case and went with Nelson, who agreed
to show up his confederate in the hold
UP and get the money of the delivery
company back. His confederate, who was
Patrick Kane of 917 Natoma street, was
found at his home with s65 of the money
in his possession. Nelson confessed that
he had spent S15 of the $50 which he had
collected yesterday afternoon for the COM
pany in the payment of an old debt.
The two men were placed on the deti-
nue. book and will be charged with grand
larceny. to-day. Kane is known to the

Congressman Hull Is in
Favor Of the Present

preparation bill Hull of Iowa, chairman
Of the Committee on Military Affairs, ar
gued against the abandonment Of the
transport service. Hull declared he had
no interest in the fight between San Fran
cisco ana Seattle. He argued that the
service should be maintained and that the
transports not needed should be placed
out Of commission. not sold. If there was
no other way to prevent the abolition of
the service, he said, he would favor an
amendment which would prohibit the sale

Hull declared that the soldiers, especial
ly sick soldiers returning home, could not
secure equal or as healthful accommoda-
tions aboard ordinary merchantmen. He
also insisted that transport service was
a necessary adjunct of the army, and
that in the end its cost would be cheaper
than transportation over private lines. He
cited the case of the Logan, which took
1892 military passengers from New York
To Manila at a cost of $4,000 which in
cluded $4,000 for passage through the
Suez canal, The same transportation un-

said, would have cost double that sum.
