HURLS HERSELF
UPON BURGLAR
Mrs. NJ. Tighe Flies Bravely
at Housebreaker Who Dis
turbs Her Sleeping Child
STARTLED THIEF FLEES
Progress Stopped by Locked
Door, and Roomers Capture
Him in Rear of the House

Mrs. M. Tighe, who conducts lodg-
ing-house at 1923 Taylor street, bravely
attacked burglar who entered the
room where her little daughter lay
abed last night, and he was captured
by two male roomers after he had
made an Intellectual attempt to escape
through the rear part of the house.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Mrs. Tighe
put her little girl, aged 10, to bed and
returned to the parlor to chat with her
sister. Suddenly screams from the lit
tie girl rent the air, and rushing into
the child's room Mrs. Tighe and her
sister discovered a burglar going
through the chiffonier
Mrs. Tighe made a grab at the man,
at the same time screaming for help
and beating him over the head The
burglar broke away from her and ran
down the hallway to the rear of the
house. The back door was locked and
when two male roomers responded 20
the alarm the burglar, seeing that es-
cape was out of the question, pretend
ed to have got into the wrong house.
Police Corporal FRAZIER arrived on the
scene and placed the man under arrest.
Mrs. Tighe's little girl almost went
into mysteries from fright. She says
that when the man saw her she rose
up in bed and he shook his fist at her,
saying. Keep still, or I'llekill YOU"
Mrs. Tighe said: Il heard the child
scream and rushed into the room and
grappled with the burglar. 1 beat him
severely on the head till he broke away
from me- Had l got my gun I'd have
killed him. He didn't get a chance to
get anything, but if my little girl had
been asleep the thief might have Sc
cured two gold watches and some
money. One of the watches was on
the bureau.
Earlier in the evening we always
leave the front door open so that
roomers can enter. About o'clock
tonight silver-handled umbrella was
stolen from the hall. About a month
ago one of my roomers had valuable
gold watch stolen from his ROOM
The burgler gave the name of AL
bert Schadel, and claimed first to be
a railroad man, then a soldier. He
affected drunkenness, but the police
believe they have the man responsible
for many burglaries.
Mrs. Tighe is a large woman and
showed great bravery. The little girl
has been placed under a doctors care,
as she was unnerved by her expert

TRYING TO FIX
RESPONSIBILITY
New York Officials Begin
Inquiry to Ascertain Cause
of Collapse of Big Building
WARRANTS ARE ISSUED
List of Known Dead Reaches
Fifteen and Several More
Men Are Reported Missing

NEW YORK, March 3.-There are
fifteen dead. fifteen known to have
been injured and three persons re-
ported missing as the result of the
collapse of the unfinished Hotel Oar
nngton building in West Forty-sixth
street yesterday and of the resultant
injury to the Patterson Hotel, directly
in the rear of the collapsed building.
The search for the dead among the
twisted iron girders and masses OF
stone continued all last night and to-
day. A wrecking force is now at work
and is aided in its efforts by steam
derrick. Many large arc lights have
been erected over the mass of twisted
timbers and beams and operations will
go on throughout the night
Four bodies were in sight late to-
night. but much work will still be re-
quired to reach them.
The body of Frank Allison, brother
of Eugene Allison, president of the
Allison Realty Company, was taken
from the ruins tonight. Allison is
supposed to have been on the ninth
floor of the building at the time of the
disaster. The body was found against
the wall of the dwelling to the west
1t was horribly mangled and was in
a net work of iron girders.
In a pocket of his coat was found
a letter written by Miss Amy l.. Mar
ouitz of st. Louis. The Coroner said
that the letter indicated that the cou
ple were to have been married and
that they intended to reside in San
Francisco.
Allison was an expert gunner in the
United States Navy, serving in the
Snanish- American War. He returned
from the Philippines only few months
ago.
District Attorney Jerome, Coroner
Scholer and officials of the building de-
partment began an investigation to-
day and will seek to place the respon-
sibility for the disaster. The Coroner
said he had issued warrants for "Eu-
gene Allison. presumably Charles r.
Allison, of the Allison Realty Com
pany, and also for Paul Schwandtner of
Pole & Schwandtner. the iron work
contractors. Allison, he explained, is
sick in bed at his home with nervous
prostration and that a lawyer repre-
senting Allison assured him that, owing
to his clients condition, 1t would be
impossible to give him up.at the pres
ent time.
Among other warrants issued are
two for William O'Hea, chief architect
for Bogge & Neville, and Frederick
Mohn, an iron worker foreman for Pole
& Schwandtner. Mohn, however. may
be among the dead.
Shirley Greene says his brother Will
liam r. Greene, IS years old, foreman
on cement and fireproof work for the
Roebling Company, had not been seen
or heard from since yesterday, and is
supposed to have perished.
Shortly after O'Clock this morning
the sergeant of police in charge of the
ruins telephoned for an ambulance,
saying a man had been found there
who was still alive.

WIFE DESERTS
HIM At HOTEL
Mrs. Frost Charges Husband
With Revealing Fact of
an Inheritance and Leaves
is TRACED TO SAN JOSE
Well-Known Young Railroad
Man Finds Matrimonial
Life Fraught With Trouble

The matrimonial career of William
T. Frost, former ticket agent in this
city for the Rock Island road, is being
fraught with many trials and tribula
tions. His marriage to Miss Ratten-
berry was a recent social event in
Oakland, but was quickly followed by
a disagreement and suit for divorce
brought by the young wife, who
charged cruelty on the part of her hus-
band. About this time Mrs. Frost's
grandmother died in the East and be-
queathed to her granddaughter an es
tate of about $4,000. Thereupon friends
of the young couple interested them
selves in effecting a reconciliation be-
tween the Frosts, and eventually sue
ceeded, Notwithstanding the strong op-
position inrerposed by the mother of
the young wife.
Peace having been restored in the
Frost household, husband and wife
planned a trip to the East to look
into the estate which Mrs. Frost was
soon to receive. They gave up their
home in Oakland and moved to the
Russ House in this city and Frost,
three days ago, resigned his position
w h. the Rock Island road and i'm
mediately prepared to leave with his
wife. When he returned to the hotel,
however, he found that she had dis
appeared, but a hurried search To-
Gated her in San Jose, where, it is sup
posed her mother, Mrs. Rattenberry,
has since joined her.
Yesterday Frost's wife wrote him a
letter to the effect that she had left
him because Of the publicity given to
the fact that she was soon to inherit
a fortune, which she attributes to her
husband. Frost, however strongly
suspects that his mother-in-law is re-
sponsible for his wifes absence, but
undaunted by his failure to keep his
wife within his reach, he purposes to
use every possible means to induce
her to return and friends have prom
ised to again assist him in his eff
forts

SIXTY THOUSAND
BROWN MEN LAND
Mikado's Horsemen Are Raiding
Russian Territory in South
ManChuria.

They declare that the losses of the
japanese up to February 25 were great
er than had been admitted in foreign
newspapers. In addition TO five steam
ships sunk they say that five torpedo
boat destroyers, one gunboat and two
torpedo-boats were put out of action,
and several others so damaged that
they will require extensive repairs.
LONDON, March 4-The Far East
ern news published this morning con-
sists chiefly of more or less reliable re-
ports of japanese military movements.
The general idea among correspondents
appears to be that no important land
battle is expected before the end of
March.
Cabling from Harbin, a correspond
ent of the Daily Chronicle gives
rumor that sixty thousand japanese
have landed at Wonson.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph asserts that three
separate japanese armies have landed
in Korea. and the Paris edition of the
New York Herald publishes a report
from Chefu to the effect that six Japa-
nese cruisers, escorting ten transports,
have been seen steaming in the direc-
ton of the gulf of Liaotung.
Nothing in any of these reports is
improbable, but it is likely that the
Japanese are maintaining strict Sc
crecy as TO their movements.
