CHILD OF THREE YEARS
SAVES BROTHER'S LIFE
FJwood Benson Hurries for Help
When He Sees Babe Struggling
i'm Post Hole.

BERKELEY, Feb. 2.-Elwood Ben
son, aged three years, saved his broth
er. Cyril, aged four years, from death
by drowning this morning near their
home at 2132 Essex street. The chill
dren were playing along Shattuck
avenue when Cyril fell head foremost
into a post hole that had been dug by
laborers working for. the Oakland
Transit Company. The hole was more
than half full of water and the child's
body was wedged into it so that he
could not withdraw A few minutes
in this predicament and he would
have been suffocated.
Little Elwood saw that something
was wrong with his brother at once
and tried with all his might to drag
him out of that fatal position. But
as one or two pulls demonstrated that
the thing was beyond his strength he
sought hefp. This he found in James
Shannon, who happened to be work
ing Just around the corner.
In response to the c1ild's cries
Shanrson ran to the spot indicated by
him and quickly drew Cyril to safety.
Cyril was more dead. than alive when
rescueds but he revived under restor-
atives administered to him by his
mother, Mrs. r. w. Benson. She said
afterward that the child owed his life
TO his tiny brothers presence of mind
in the moment of danger.

TAKES ITALIAN
FOR A RUSSIAN
Japanese Restaurant Keeper
Throws Frank SOares Out of
Window Through a Mistake
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
111S Broadway, Feb. 2.

111S Broadway, Feb. 2.
Complications of an international
character almost arose yesterday even
ing all because Frank Namamoto. Jap
anese proprietor of a restaurant on
Broadway, between Sixth and Seventh
streets, mistook John Soares, an unof-
Tending Italian, for 2ussian. A slight
difference of opinion between the two
was sufficient to cause the patriotic
Japanese to seject the supposed Rus
sian. The first blow delivered by the
little brown. man was the signal for
dozen other subjects of the Mikado to
spring up by magic.
Vainly did the swarthy son of Italy
try to explain himself in the silvery
tongue of his native land. Everything
he said was interpreted as ending in
sky or witch" and this was suffi-
cient for renewed assaults. Despite
his efforts to maintain an equilibrium
and his dignity as a Roman descend
ant, Soares was uncererloniously
thrown through a window, taking sash
and all with him.
The crashing of glass attracted t.:
attention of Patrolman HammertCn,
who arrived on the scene in the role of
Uncle Sam and offered hiS good of
fees in preserving sthe peace. Being
unable to speak either Italian or Jap.
aoese Hammerton was compelled to
give I'D his attempt at dipl macy and
s-rest both tie proprietor of the place
and the supposed Russian.
This morning in the Police Court
neither of the beIligerents was able to
make Judge Smith, sitting both as me-
diator and Judge, understand them and
he set the case over until February 4,
at which time two interpreters will be
on hand to assist the court in settling
