AsSaiIant Is Finally Re-
PEELED and His Victim
Reaches Her Residence

ALAMEDA. April 24-Mrs. w. +.
Burns of 2617 Santa Clara avenue was
attacked and severely beaten by an un-
known man this evening while on her
way home from the Park-street broad
gauge station. Her assailant after
striking her several times and knocking
her down twice made his escape. Mrs.
Burns does not think that robbery was
the motive of the attack as she says
that the man made no attempt TO Sc
cure her purse or other valuables and
made no demand for money. She pro-
fesses to be at a loss to understand The
reas for her assailants action ana
says that she never saw the man be
fore. The assault took place about 3
o'clock ia front of a vacant lot on
Santa Clara. avenue between Broadway
and Everett street, almost directly in
front Of the home of Mrs. J. H Denise,
Mrs Burns mOther-in-law, where the
victim ran for help after making her
escape from the assailant
Mrs. Burns had left the S:45 broad
gauge train at Park street and was
walking home on Santa Clara avenue.
AS she passed the corner Of Santa
Cara avenue and Everett street
she noticed man standing on
the corner, who, as she approached,
lighted cigarette. Then lie
turned and followed. overtaking
her about the middle Of the BLOCK
without a word he sprang in front Of
Mrs. Burns. AS he did so he struck her
a heavy blow, knocking her down and
saying as he did so There now" Mrs.
Burns struggled TO her feet and asked,
What do you mean by striking me
like that2" but the only answer was
renewal of the attack, the man telling
her 10 the ground once more. AS the
victim gained her feet a second time
she ran screaming to her mother-in-
laws home When she reached the
door the man turned and walked rapid
u toward Broadway, disappearing in
the darkness. Mrs. Denise found her
daughter-in-law in a faint on the door
step and after learning the cause Of the
trouble notified the police.
Mrs. Burns describes her assailant as
a boyish looking fellow between 1s and
p years OF age, wearing a light hat
and a dark suit Of clothes. The police

in this country for 225 years and in all
that time had been engaged in teach
ing.
Many of you have children" the
speaker said, land you are wondering
what to do with them when they grow
UP. I'll tell you what to do with some
of them. See if you can detect in them
the germs of Christian brotherhood and
then give them over to the cause. No
man could aspire higher The Christian
brothers are devoted body and soul, by
enthusiasm and vow to the cause of
the young. They do not neglect their
secular obligations. but teach the high
est ideals OF Christianity. They are
specialists in their line. This is the age
of specialists and they know love and
loyalty and intellect"
The Archbishop pointed out that the
social difficulties of the country are to
be solved only through the Christian
religion, and he referred to a recent
speech of President Wheeler of the uni
versity to support this idea. The cur
riculum of the university as it now
stands will not solve our difficulties. 1t
needs something of Christianity in it,
And following out this idea the Arch
bishop said that the principle of the
purely secular school is wrong, because
it leads children away from the paths
of religion.

TACOMA TO SEARCH
FOR DOUBTFUL DANGER
Government VIII Try to Locate IN
known Island Midway Between
San Francisco and Honolulu n

WASHINGTON, April "a. = The
cruiser Tacoma has been ordered on
a practice cruise from Tacoma to
Honolulu, thence to San Francisco.
Captain Nicholson has been instructed
to endeaVor on the return trip TO To-
cate an island that has been indicated
on the navigation charts for years, out
the existence of which is in doubt. The
Albatross sailed over the point where
it is supposed to be located, finding
a great depth of water, yet reports
have come to the department that
breakers and other indications of an
obstruction have been seen in that
vicinity and an effort is to be made
to obtain something accurate con-
cerning what is now known as doubt
full danger"
The island, as indicated. lies about
midway between Honolulu and San
Francisco, but considerably south of
the sailing routes, consequently but
few vessels ever pass that way. The
sloop of war Levant. which disap-
peared in mid-Pacific in 1858 is sup
posed by some to have gone on the
rocks somewhere in that vicinity.

people. This was all, but the signifi-
canoe of the ceremony was evident, and

message to the hearts of the great
crowd Of men and women who assem-
bled TO see and hear.
The Archbishop first blessed the ex-
terror of the building, in which cere-
mony he was attended by a procession
of acolytes, priests and Christian
brothers in full regalia. Then the
chapel and interior of the building were
visited, the members of the procession
chanting while they marched. This
ceremony was followed by the address
of the Archbishop. who spoke from the
lower balcony of the hail. so many peo-
pie being present that the chapel could
not contain more than half of them.

Ills Broadway, April "a.
Councilman John L. Howard will be
reappointed to the Office Of municipal
legislator by Mayor Olney and no one
else will be chosen until Mr.. Howard
returns from his trip abroad. This Is
the decision that has been arrived at
by the Mayor and his friends in the

Howard finish the work he has begun.
Under the charter the resignation of
a Councilman takes effect the moment
it is presented to the body of which
he is a member No other action is
necessary and the resignation has to
go to the Council and not to the Mayor.
The Mayor, however, fills the place
when it becomes vacant.
When John L. Howard handed his
resignation to President Dornin of the
Council and it was presented to that
body he ceased to be Councilman and
ever since that resignation went IN
there has been one vacant place at
the City Hail. 1t has been decided
by Mayor Olney that he will not make
any appointment to the vacancy unless
it becomes necessary, but that he will
allow the place to remain open until
Mr.. Howard returns from Europe. The
trip will consume about three months.
