To the Editor of The Call:
Dear Sir: In the labor column Of your
paper you report that committee from the
Chicken Pickers Union met committee from
the Poultry Dealers Association and agreed
on terms Of settlement. This statement Is mis-
leading. The Chicken Pickers Union may
have appointed a committee, but the Poultry
Dealers did not, nor did they individually
sign any agreement.
The facts are: The strike ended two weeks
ago, when the executive committee of the Cit
liens Alliance, working in connection with
the executive committee Of the Poultry Deal
ers decided to hang up the open shop card.
That card is still-up and will stay up.
We trust you will be kind enough to correct
your statements Of yesterday by giving this
card place in your paper. Very truly yours,
T. l. OBRIAN.

Berkeley Aroused Over Acts OF Man
Who Peeps Into Windows OF
Bedrooms.
BERKELEY, Oct. 2S.-Women and
girls in the neighborhood of Claiming
way and Fulton street have been
thoroughly frightened by the antics
of a mysterious intruder, who is ap-
parentIy a "Peeping Tom" or burg
lar.
The marauder has raised windows,
lifted curtains of bedrooms and shown
his face to women during the last two
weeks. Half dozen families have
made systematic attempts to catch
and punish him, but without success.
The Cotrel family at 2124 Charming
way was the first to announce that
'Peeping Tom" was making life
wretched for the feminine folk and at
once they were informed by their
neighbors that the same sort of dis
agreeable experiences had been en-
dured by the women of the Payson
family, the Thurkelson family, the
Sperry family, and Mrs. T. Shipman.
Each member of this group relates
story which seems to prove that
mysterious Individual who is either
a desperate or degenerate, makes
his headquarters in the neighborhood
of Fulton street and Charming way
and Systematically attempts to secure
entrance to the homes of that fash
ionable neighborhood.
"Peeping Tom" has had several
very narrow escapes from being cap
tured He has been cornered, but has
always managed to escape.

Francisco Mcnamara, the Republi-

Thirtieth District, has set his ~malign-
ers adrift in their attempt to be-
smirch his standing with organized la
Dor. Reports were circulated among
the union people that McNamara had
in the far past acted "scab.' AS soon
as this slander reached the ears of the
men who have known Mcnamara
since he was a small boy in the dis
trict from which he will be elected to
the Assembly they lost no time in
refuting the charge, as the following
shows:

Football, the sport apparently most
dear to university men. received its
second hard rap of the week to-day
when William Greer Harrison, presi-
dent Of the Olympic Athletic Club of
San Francisco, at the university meet
ing in Harmon gymnasium, character
lied the game as only "head-on col
lision," in which the weaker team is
crushed. He declared that the game
as played at present Is lacking IN chiv-
alrous features and is unworthy of a
great university. The speakers re-
marks, following as they did the dia-
tribe against the sport delivered early
in the week by Professor George Howl
son, head of the department of phil
osophy, stirred the football enthusiasts
to rebellious disclaimers. after the uni
versity meeting had been dismissed.

Harrison's illumination against the
gridiron game was the subject of acid
ulous comment.
President Harrison, in his address,
referred to the university's alleged fall

ing:.
Why have you not won success the water?
Why have you made your greatest
cesses on track and field? Because you have
given more time-too much time-to the least
desirable college sport. Football is a grand
game, but not you play it. since in the
form you play II 1t is not chivalrous sport.
Modern football, as distinguished from the
sion, in which the least weight goes down,

brains and altogether too much with your mus
cles.

president of great athletic club, to take up
football seriously and make of football game
worthy of your great university, game gov

which governed the Journeys OF knights of old.
Rev. Bradford Leavitt, pastor of the
First Unitarian Church of San Fran
cisco, also addressed the university, his
subject being, What All the World s
a-Seeking" He urged the cultivation
CT body, mind and spirit, as aids to
securing happiness. Physical hap
piness, he said, is dependent on exer-
else and right living. Mental happiness
is dependent on use of the mind to
form independent conclusions. Spirit
ual happiness depends on reconciliation
to God, or harmony with the power
that rules the universe.

at S:45 o'clock on the operating table.
Mrs. Faletti gave the following ac-
count of the accident: I'VE were wait
ing for the car to Oakland and had
gone UP between the tracks, where
Stella could get on. Both of us saw
the other car, but did not think it
would start before Stella's car reached

Don Cecil was conductor of the car.
Halliday was arrested and charged with
manslaughter.
John Ferrin, the traction company's
private detective, defied the police to-
night by ordering Halliday not to
make a statement when request was
made by Captain of Police w. J. Pet
erson. The result was that Halliday
was sent to Jail instead of being at
once released on his own recogniz-
ance. General superintendent J. P.

by directing the motorman to give
the police the information.

OAKLAND, Oct. 28.-Miss Stella
Oglio, "a years old, a dressmaker, re-
siding at 1851 Broadway, was struck
by north-bound Shattuck avenue car,
No. 156, in charge of Motorman c. w.
Halliday, at Forty-sixth street and
Shattuck avenue at 6:45 o'clock to-
night and was so badly injured that she
died two hours later at the East Bay
Sanitarium without regaining con-
sciousness. Both the unfortunate
woman's legs were cut off just below
the hips and she received other injuries
about the head and body. Miss Oglio
was to have been married on Sunday,
November 6. F. Simpson, the man to
whom she was engaged, is now
on his way from Los Angeles to meet
the girl who has been taken from him
by death.
The accident was witnessed by Mrs
Amelia Faletti, Miss Ogiios cousin,
who, when she saw the girl run over,
became hysterical and ran screaming
from the scene of the accident.
WAITS FOR CAR.
Miss Oglio and Mrs. FaIetti had
just left the latter's home at 61S Forty
sixth street and were waiting at the
corner for the south bound car. AS
1t approached Forty-sixth street they
walked out into the middle of the
street between the tracks. The street
at this point had been plowed up for
grading, making it impossible to board
car except from between the tracks.
As the women reached the center Of
the street both noticed that the north
bound car was standing at the corner
of Forty-fifth street, but as it was not
in motion and the other car was rapid
ly approaching. Miss Oglio said she
would have time to board it before the
other reached them
Both turned their attention to the
southbound car, not noticing that the
other had started. Mrs. Faletti a mo-
ment later glanced over her shoulder
and saw car No. 156 within a few feet
Of herself and her cousin. Screaming a
warning to her companion, she sprang
out of the way, just escaping the for
ward end of the car. Miss Oglio, in
tent upon the southbound car, failed to
hear her cousins warning, and a second
later the car struck her. She was
thrown down and both wheels of the
forward truck passed over her limbs.
The girl was dragged nearly 200 feet
before Halliday could bring the car to
a standstill.
