DR.. MARY RITTER
Will. WITHDRAW
Injuries Prevent PrOfes-
sor of Hygiene From Re-
turning to the University
SHE WISHES TO LEAVE
Hopes to Return to the
Practice of Medicine and
Give Up Small Salary
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call.

Berkeley once san FRANCISCO Cali.
214S Center street, Aug. %.
On account of the severity of the in
juries she received in the recent acct
dent while driving near New Almaden,
DR.. Mary B. Ritter, professor of and
lecturer on hygiene at the University
of California, is unlikely TO return to
her post in the university. Her place
is being filed temporarily by DR.. FL
eanor s. Bancroft in the interim that
will ensue before DR.. Ritter RECEIVERS
from her injuries, but even at the ex-
piration of that period it is more than
probable that the patient will signify
her intention to withdraw altogether
from the university. She has told Pres
ident Wheeler that her wish is not TO
resume her work at the university and
this is taken as being her final deci-
sion, though she may change her mind
in the end.
DR.. Ritter has really contemplated
resigning for some time and it only
needed this accident to decide for her
a vexed question. She gave up lu-
crative practice to accept the compar-
atively small salary of 5000 a month to
act as examiner of women and lecturer
on hygiene. so that she is anxious for
this one reason, If not for many others,
to resign.
President Wheeler said to-day that
pending DR.. Ritter's decision the Of
flee would be temporarily filled by DR..
Bancroft. Whether. in case DR.. Rit-
ter does resign, DR.. Bancroft will re-
tain the place permanently President
Wheeler was unprepared to say.
The salary that goes with this posi-
ton is provided by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst,
who will continue to give it indefi-
nitely.

1915 Broadway, Aug. 20.
Not a Chinese lottery den was in
business to-day in Oakland. The raids
made by the police have accomplished
their purpose. The yellow gamblers,
realizing that the police plan of
campaign means the destruction of
their illegally used property, have
closed down business. Police reports
from every beat in the city are in the
same tenor, namely; All Joints" closed
and no visitors at any of them

gamblers have decided that the best
way out Of the present situation is to
cease their unlawful traffic.
This condition the police expect to
maintain, using the threat Of resump-
tion of violent raids, should any of the
gambling houses reopen.

A fury convicted W. O. Stewart of an
assault with a deadly weapon this
evening for having shot W. S. Kennedy
in a quarrel over the latter's wife on
the night OF June last on the old
Briggs ranch near Newark. He was
charged with assault with intent TO

guilty Of the lesser offense. The max
inlum punishment he can be given for
this is two years In the penitentiary.
he VIII be sentenced next Monday
morning.
In the courtroom at the time the jury
returned its verdict Kennedy was wait
ing and after he had heard the verdict
said: Z did not care TO have Stewart
punished in this way. I would like to
have licked him with my fists there
that night and would probably have
done It II he had not stopped me with
his gun. I did not intend 10 make any
complaint against him but the matter
went so far that IL got out Of my
hands"
On the witness stand to-day Stewart
was asked why he went TO Newark
with Kennedy and said: Kennedy ac-
cused me and his wife Of being too
friendly He would not believe me
when I said we were only acquaint-
ances, so I consented to go with him
and confront her. When we were all
together he still refused to believe me
and accused me Of not carrying out my
part Of the programme. He got mad
and attacked me and I shot at him
twice quickly and then turned and
walked away"
The two men had agreed that Stew
art should get an Interview with Mrs.
Kennedy and talk TO her so that the
husband could hear without being seen.
Kennedy said on the stand that Stew
art talked so low that he could not
hear anything.

HUSBAND Is SILENT.

During all Of DR.. CrowIey's marital
upsettings he has ever maintained a
silence with relation to much that has
forced him so unwillingly into public
gaze. His friends declare that he has
been in many particulars a grievously
prosecuted man. Even at this time
DIR. Crowley has avoided a controversy
with his wife touching any of their
unhappy matrimonial experiences.
Since the last separation Dr. Crowley
has made a monthly allowance of 5000
to his wife, which has enabled her to
maintain herself and children prop
erly.
Mrs. Crowley has won repute in the
musical world as a brilliant singer
and accomplished composer. In years
gone by she was a prominent figure
in Oakland society. Her beauty was
enhanced by splendid mental equip
ment, which combined to make an at
tractive presence. DIR. Crowley has
been a leader for many years in his
profession. He holds the post of chief

OAKLAND, Aug. 2S.-After more
than a year of separation, following
horse whipping episode, Mrs. Alma
A. Crowley to-day sued DR.. D. d.
Crowley for divorce for the second
time since their first marriage ten
years ago. Statutory desertion is the
allegation set forth in the complaint,
which was filed by Henry c. McPike.
attorney for Mrs. Crowley. The ply
sician's wife AYERS that DIR. Crowley s
income is $4,000 a month. She asks
for alimony, amount to be determined,
for support of herself and the Crow
ley children, two boys, of whom she
wants the custody.
Thus eliminates a series Of marital
disturbances that now record two
steps in the divorce court with a di-
vorce case at the very beginning of the
Crowleys' matrimonial experiences.
When Alma Crowley first met the tall
ented physician and surgeon from
whom she seeks for the second time
a-legal separation, she was the beau
tiful wife of Hugo Mansfeldt, a musi-
had been Mansfeldt's pupil and over
the harmonies and chromatics Cupid
chimed until Mansfield won his schol-
ar for a bride.
The Mansfeldts were happy for a
time. But ii was not long. Mrs.
Mansfeldt procured a divorce from
her musician spouse and welded DR..
Crowley. Again domestic felicity was
of brief duration. One day Mrs.
Crowley went to her husbands offices,
then on Broadway and Twelfth street
in the Central block, and made accu-
sations in the face of one of his pa
tients. There was violent scene. The
angry wife, with her children, fed to
a hotel and there remained until a
reconciliation reunited the family.
WIFE GROWS WEARY.
1t was not long. however, until Mrs.
Crowley, charging cruelty, divorced her
husband. The separation was followed
by another making up. The chap
ter of troubles was closed tempo
rarily by the Crowleys' remarriage at
Reno. Upon their return they settled
down to home life once more at the
family residence, 1854 Alice street. A
year or more passed quietly. Then one
day DR.. Crowley took his personal ef-
fects and repaired to bachelors quar-
ters at the Athenian Club. There was
another cloud upon the horizon. 1t
grew and grew. Mrs. Crowley sudden
ly added fresh lear to the book Of
disturbance by attacking her husband

5S5 Caledonia avenue. The physicians
wife charged that his visits at the
Seligman residence were not prompted
by professional reasons.
The incident caused Harry M. Selig-
man, son Of Mrs. Seligman, to defend
his mothers name. Young Seligman
went to the Crowley residence and de-
manded that Mrs. Crowley make public
apology. He declared that Or. Crow
ley had been called to the SeIigman
house on professional visit. that he
(the SOM had been there during the
visit; that Mrs. Crowley had wantonly
laid his mother open to scandal. After
much colloquy Mrs. Crowley caused the
young defenders arrest on a charge of
disturbing the peace, but she did not
appear TO prosecute him.

FIRE SYSTEM
Mayor FOrderer of Alameda
Declares the Volunteer
Department Is Inadequate
NEED MORE EQUIPMENT
Pumping Station Is Being
Talked OF to Secure a
Better Water Pressure

ALAMEDA, Aug. 23.-The Alameda
Volunteer Fire Department is doomed
and the City Trustees are preparing TO
find ways and means to add. to the
equipment. They are also discussing
the erection of a pumping plant that
will furnish sufficient water to handle
a fire.
These three points are the outcome
of the Sherman street fire, the charges
that Chief Krauth did not handle the
fire properly and the investigation that
was held of these charges by the Trus-
tees last night.
1t was conclusiveY shown that Chief
Krauth handled the fire In a most sci
entific manner, that everything was
done by him and by his men, but it
was also shown that Alameda had long
since outgrown it's present Fire De-
partment. President Forderer of the
City Trustees to-day announced the
new Fire Department plans:
We found out a great deal about our Fire
Department last night and we will take up
the work of improving ii as rapidly possible.
fire department and we shall have to do away
with the present system and establish paid
call department. A paid call department is
easier TO handle ard more subject to discipline
than volunteer one. We will probably have
to increase the equipment. though to what ex-
tent remains to be determined.
In order to increase the water pressure and
water supply we may have to resort tosa pump
ing plant, but as that will cost $1,000 and as
our tax levy will be higher than last year
without this improvement, 1 don't how it
can be considered now.
AS for the fire the other night there Is no
question as to the skill shown by Chief Krauth.
