The most interesting story ! ever

"As told by a white man the narra-
tive is tame. indeed, lacking the ORA
matte action and eloquenco Of the red
warrior. 1t was about a meeting with
q big grizzly bear in the mountains
OF Colorado. Charley was out looking
for deer. lie was equipped with an
oldfashi0ned, single barrel, muzZle-
loading rifle, which put him at a ter,
rble disadvantage, when he was sud
denly confronted by one Of the big
est specimens Of the grizzly he ever
saw.

away and so kill deer and leave bic

seemed to get friendly and h dropped
on his legs to the ground much as to
say he'd like piece of deer and then
he run off into the mountains. -

Qualities Of Radlnm.

The fact that radium exerts a very
peculiar influence upon light-emitting
bodies has given rise to the hope that
it may eventually pay an important
role in the industry Of light. A minute
quantity of radium is sufficient to pro-
duce a strong light from layer of zinc
pyritcs and this light produces no
heat, 50 that loss of energy is avoided.

Chilly" Hxnes Wins Out.

OAKLAND, Oct. 1.-THE estate of
Johanna Harrigan, an aged domestic
of San Francisco, who died in this
city on August 10, is to be taken in
charge by Public Administrator Hynes
of San Francisco, despite the efforts of
Public Administrator Gray to be de-
clared by the court the proper Of
fetal to act in the matter. Argument
in the contest between the rival Ad-
ministrators was made by attorneys
for the officials before Judge Hall to-
day and the decision favored Admin
istrator Hynes of San Francisco. Mrs.
Harrigan had lived in San Francisco
for many years and accumulated a
small fortune from her savings.
She was visiting friends in Oakland
when she died and the court conclud-
ed that despite this circumstance her
estate should be administered in San
Francisco.

1n1H RrnadraV Oct. q

1915 Broadway, Oct. IA
Wilbur Walker, secretary of the
Alameda County Worlds Fair Asso-
citation, returned from st. Louis to-
day filled with ideas about the ad-
vancement of California and of Ala
media County in particular. Mr.. Walk
er made a complete and exhaustive
examination into the methods of
booming" and he has some ideas
that he will advance to the different
commercial organizations of Oakland.
He especially praises the work OF The
Call for Oakland and Alameda Coun-
ty. This is what Mr.. Walker had to
say:
California is going to reap a great deal OF
benefit from its exhibit at the ST. Louis Fair
Other States have good exhibits, but California
is the only one in the Union that has ooth
State building and a separate display from
each county. California has really twenty
two exhibits and there are eighty people rep
resenting this commonwealth The result Is
that California is being advertised as is no
other State in the Union.
have not noticed any of the rivalry be
tween sections of California that is supposed
TO exist. On the other hand, 1 have noticed
that California is being made the great war
displays.
There is one thing that I shall advocate at
all times and IN all places-that the peopIe VI
Oakland do everything in their power TO get
the other San Francisco papers to follow the
example Of The Call The Call, though
San Francisco paper, has done a wonderful
work for Alameda County. Hundreds OF San
Francisco papers are being circulated in St
Louis, but in only any Oakland news
be found and that one is The Call When
a man becomes interested in California he buys
a California paper If he buys a Call he finds
out that there is such a place as Alameda
County, that we have here the State univer-
that have great city ana great
prospects If he buys any other paper there
is no reference to Oakland unless it be some
sensational story that does not reflect credit
upon the community. The people who
working for the advancement of this side of
the bay owe much to The Call and it is only
when they go East that they fully realize It.

Special Policeman Sprague
Sees Base COiners' Out
fit and Holds His Peace
is SILENT FOR MONTHS
PiQue Said to Have Caused
Officer to Reveal His
knowledge About Case
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway. Oct. Z.


After Withholding for three months
information that might have led to the
arrest of counterfeiting gang, or at
least the conf1scation of an outfit, Spe-
cial Policeman George Sprague to-day
admitted to Chief of Police Hodgkins
his dereliction. Sprague was summon
ed to police headquarters this after
noon and made a statement which in
wolves Mrs. George Lane, formerly re-
siding at 756 Harrison street, but whose
whereabouts is unknown to the po-
lice.
Sprague told the Chief Of Police that
Mrs. Lane, at whose home the special
officer had resided, several months ago
showed him a number of plaster of
paris molds for the manufacture of
counterfeit coins. The casts were pre-
pared for five, ten, twenty-five and
fifty cent pieces. Sprague asserted
that the paraphernalia had been in
Mrs. Lanes possession and that she
had explained to him In some detail
the purposes for which the molds were
intended.
But the episode did not strongly
enough impress itself on Sprague until
a short time ago, when the special pO
iceman confided in A. McDiarmid,
private detective, residing at SIT Sixth
street. Through that source knowledge
of the circumstance was impaired to
Harry Moffitt, a United States Secret
Service agent. Investigation was made,
but it was too late. Mrs. Lane had dis
appeared.
Not until to-day did the Chief of Po-
lice get information of the affair. He
sharply queried Sprague and demanded
to know why the officer had so long
withheld his knowledge Of the
matter Sprague was asked if 1t
were not true that he had kept the cir
cumstances a secret until after he had
had a falling out with Mrs. Lane.
This he did not deny. He ad
mitted to Hodgkins that hope of
reward had also induced him to talk
about the matter, when he had finally
decided to disclose the incident to Nc
Diarmid.
Chief Hodgl1ins will lay the case be-
fore the Police Commissioners.
The police tonight searched the resi-
dence formerly occupied by Mrs. Lane
and found the models that Sprague said
his landlady had shown to him. The
plaster outfit will be turned over to the
United States Secret Service for such
disposition as the Government authori-
ties decide to make Of the case.

WTTHDRAWS DEMURRER
TO HIS WIFES SUIT
Alexander Barrie Will Contest Her
Application for a Divorce, Fighting
Case on Original Issues.

OAKLAND, Oct. 7.-Attorneys rep
resenting Alexander Barrie cleared
the way to-day for a hearing of his
divorce suit without regard to tech
nicalities by withdrawing Barrie's de-
murrer to a cross-complaint made by
his wife, who contests the action.
Barrie, a commercial traveller of
Berkeley, was sued for divorce a year
ago. His wife charged him with
making the home atmosphere such as
to corrupt the morals of their young
daughter. Fred Wade, a nephew,
with also a niece of Barrie residing
in the home, was implicated in Mrs.
Barrie's charges of wrong doing
against her husband.
The woman declared that Barrie
and Wade procured her incarceration
in an asylum, when, as she alleged,
she was perfectly sane. Judge Og-
den denied her a divorce. Barrie
promptly brought suit for divorce, al
leging cruelty. His wife responded
with a cross-complaint, charging him
with unfaithfulness. His demurrer to
this oss-complaint was filed some
time ago, but was withdrawn to-day.
it being Barrie's purpose to permit
the case to be tried without giving at
tention to the technicalities.

SAYS CORONERS
ARE USELESS
Health Officer Is
Convinced Inquests Are a
Relic of the Dark Ages

ALAMEDA. Oct 7.-Health officer
DR.. L. w. Stidham believes that Cor
oners are relics of the dark ages, an
expensive attachment to county gov
ernment, and could be dispensed with
to advantage and without endangering
the rights of the populace These are
substantially the views expressed by
the physician in talking Of the case of
two-year-old Raymond Reese, who
died Tuesday from PHOSPHORUS poison
ing, due TO eating matches, and who
was buried Wednesday by Deputy Cor
oner James Fowler without the formal
ity of an inquest.
Coroner II. b. Mehrmann has de-
clared that he will order an investiga-
ton of the case and in 1t will be in
Volved Dr. Maurice w. Brown who
signed the child's death certificate.
Health Officer Stidham, who signed the
burial permit. and Deputy Coroner
Fowler Concerning the part he took
in the matter Health officer Stidham
said:
The death certificate Of the Reese child was
signed by DIT. Brown, a reputable physician,
and on the strength of that document / issued
the burial permit The certificate asserts that
death was due to PHOSPHORUS poisoning and
1 am satisfied that that correct. I did
not deem il was for the Coroner to
investigate as the cause of the child's death
was apparent and there nothing further
to investigate. Coroners are relics of past
ages and expensive to the poor man. Every
inquest costs the taxpayers no less than S25.
and what are the resulting benefits? I do
not recall an inquest in Alameda County in
siv years that recompensed the taxpayers for
what it cost. Reputable physicians can be
depended upon to give the cause of death and
the Coroner accomplishes but little II any
more. 1 know Of more than one Instance
where verdicts were brought in that were NOT
in accordance with the circumstances attend
ing the death Of the person upon whom the
inquest was held If such things can be.
what is the use of Coroners' Investigations
Deputy Coroner Fowler asserts that
he was acting within his sphere as an
undertaken when he buried the Reese
child. He affirms that after DIR. Brown
signed the death certificate and DIR.
Stidham issued the burial permit he
proceeded legally in conducting the
funeral. DR.. Brown is at present out
of the city.
