WILL PUNISH
SONS HAZERS
Father of Young De Rome
Declares He Will Stop ViO-
lent Fun OF Art Students
BOYS CONDITION is BAD
Parent Investigating Case
With View to Discovering
Identity of the Offenders
BOYS CONDITION is BAD

With the intention of Furnishing
those responsible for his sons injury
Albert de Rome, the father of Albert
T. de Rome who was hazed by some
OF the students of the Hopkins Art In
stitute, has begun an investigation of
the hazing. Mr.. de Rome came from
San Jose to Oakland yesterday to see
the boy. Accompanied by his son he
came to San Francisco to consult Dr.
Charles Clark, under whose care the
young man is. After hearing the doc
tors opinion of the case, Mr.. de Rome
said:
Il have not yet decided just what
course to pursue in regard to the stu
dents concerned in the hazing of my
son, but 1 have begun an investigation
and do not intend TO allow the guilty
students to escape. My son has been
badly injured, in fact so severely that
DR.. Clark refuses as yet TO say how
long it will take him to recover, or
whether or not he will ever be COM
pletely well.
while 1 do not hold the directors
of the institute responsible, l do be-
lieve they should put a final stop to
such practices. If Albert's injuries
should prove permanent / would not
be inclined to show any mercy to those
responsible for them, but shall pun
ish them to the full extent of the law,
and even if he recovers 1 shall take
such steps as will put complete stop
to this practice of hazing students"
The victim of the hazing, when seen
last night at his "ncle's home in
Golden Gate, said:
Il am not feeling so we'll to-day as
was Friday and it seems as if my
strength is leaving me. Yesterday I
suffered with terrible pains in my
back, and while they have left me to-
day l feel very weak. The doctors
said that this was partly the result of
the nervous shock, but my whole body
seems to be giving out"

SMITH CLAIMS
SELF,DEFENSE
Aged Contractor Who Shot
Joseph MCGOWAN Says His
Lie nau Been threatened

Joseph Smith, the aged contractor,
who shot and killed Joseph MCGOWAN
at the brickyard, 1868 Mission street,
on Saturday morning. was visited by a
large number of his friends in the City
Prison yesterday. He was no sooner
finished talking with one than another
took the vacant place. One of them
brought him a box of cigars and
others had little reminders of their
friendship.
night in his cell and yesterday morn
ing he was changed to another cell,
where he has more light and comfort.
He did not care TO talk about the
shooting, but said he had acted in self
defense. MCGOWAN had knocked him
down two or three times and he was
afraid MCGOWAN and James Beatty
would seriously injure him, as they
had threatened him several times
They wanted, he said, to drive him out
OF the place. Beatty had been cursing
him from early morning. He thor
oughly realizes the gravity of his posi-
ton and says he hopes the law Of
fioers will not be too hard on an old
man. He claims that he must have
pulled the trigger ~unintentionally in
hrs excited state.
Sergeant Melody, one of the desk
| sergeants at the City Prison, said yes
terday that he had known Smith for
nearly thirty years. His first acquaint-
ance with him was when he went to
serve a warrant upon him on a charge
Of battery. The complaining witness
was with him and when Smith saw
the complainant he promptly attacked
| him again. Melody cited the circum-
stance to show that Smith had vio-
lent temper when aroused.
Smith will appear in the Police
Court this morning, but the case will
be continued pending the Coroner's in
quest which will be held in a day or
! two.

FARCE CALLED NEW YORK"
is PRODUCED IN BERLIN
Opium Dens and Cynical Policemen
Figure as Typical American
Institutions.

BERLIN, Nov. 27-Ruggiero Leon
cavallo is experimenting, by invita-
ton of Emperor William, the re-
hearsal of his new opera, Roland of
Berlin" which Emperor William
commissioned him to compose six
years ago. 1t will be produced De-
cember II at the Royal Opera house
The story of the opera deals with
the dispute of a Brandenburg Prince
with the Mayor of Berlin over the
Jurisdiction of the city.
The first production of farce en-
titled New York" has taken place
here, with Adolf Phillips in the lead
ing role. Some of the journalistic
critics treat the succession of sketches
of Bowery life as interpreting Ameri-
can political and social conditions and
take the opportunity to express re-
gret at the existence of opium dens
and cynical New York policemen.

FINDS HUMAN HAND
ON HER FRONT STOOP
Grewsome Discovery Is Made by
Woman Living in Neighborhood
of the Affiliated Colleges

The police at the park station were
very much surprised yesterday when
a little boy, Donald Park of $50 Clay
ton street, walked into the station
carrying human hand. When ques-
toned by the officers he said that Wal
ter Morton Of S51 Clayton street had
shown him where the hand was buried
in a lot on the west side of fremont
avenue, south of Frederick street. The
two boys dug up the hand and hid it
in a clump of bushes, thinking they
might make some use of it, but after
ward concluded 1t would be better to
turn it over to the police.
The boy said that the hand was
found by Mrs. Devant, S34 Clayton
street, on her front stoop, about two
weeks ago. Mrs. Devant went shop
ping at about IL o'clock in the morn
ing and on her return found the
severed member on her steps. Instead
of notifying the police she buried it in
the lot back of her house, and the
boys, thinking they might make some
capital of it, dug it up yesterday.
The police believe the hand was
thrown on the stoop by a student re-
turning from the Affiliated Colleges
1t was brown and winkled, as though
it had been in pickle, and also bore
evidence of having been dissected. 1t
is a right hand and the long, tapering
fingers indicate that 1t was the hand
of a woman.

afterward threw stones at him. One

the head, infiicting a deep scalp
wound His cry for help brought a
policeman, who arrested the young
toughs and placed a charge of assault
with a deadly weapon against their

The Lyeeum.

the second lyceum attraction
at the school auditorium Tues.
day night was high class in
every respect. Both Mr. Seigel
and Mr. Myer are artists and are
masters of their work. Rag
time and music of a low order
are not in their repertory and
those who went out expecting
this kind were disappointed.
Those, however, who wanted to
hear the productions of artists
got what they expected and
were delighted with the per-
formance.
The work of Mr. Seigel on the
on the mandolin was pronounced
by those who are capable of
Judging as masterly and Mr.
Meyer immensely pleased the
lovers of music with his original
work on the piano.
The attendance was not what
it should have been. The wealth
er was not the best but was not
sufficiently inclement to preclude
attendance. The local manage
ment went to considera BILE ex-
pense without hope of reward
other than giving Kingstree
amusement, and for our people
not to patronize shows a lack of
the right spirit. A very good
crowd, however, was present,
and quite a number from out Of
town. All in all, everything
passed off. to the satisfaction of
the management.
The next attraction will be
