In order to share in the estate of her

be real and true widow and not one

INTO court to-day and had set aside an
lnterlocutory decree of divorce granted
her from Stephen r. O'Keeffe, former

Okeeffe died at Bisbee, Arizona, and
left block of mining stock that it is

been made in the mine.
When Mrs. O'Keeffe was given her
dlvorce on the grounds of desertion and
tallure to provide she did not think
her husband had any property and no
provision was made in the decree for
the settlement of any property interests.
Inc nndlng of the stock has put an
other aspect on the affair and she

dlVorcee she would not be entitled to
a cent. but as his widow she will get

ROBBER STORY

Oakland Office San Francisco Cal

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1016 Broadway, July 27.
Closely following the reported SEN
satiOnal midnight battle between Dep
uty Constables Frank Dearborn and
Edward Murdock and six robbers at
Sather station last Friday night has
come the revocation of their appoint
ment as deputy constables. This &C
tion was taken by Constable Cramer
to-day, who had reason to believe that
no robbers attacked his deputies and
that they did all the shooting that was
done themselves.
The investigation of the affair by the
Sheriff's office and the Southern Pa
cific Company detectives the next day
showed some glaring discrepancies be-
tween the story as told by the deputy
constables and the facts as they ap-
peared. 1t all had such a queer look
that to-day action was taken and the
appointments Of the men were re-
Yoked.
Dearborn and Murdock told the de-
tectives that they were shot at when
about $50 yards away from the build
ing and returned the fire from that
distance. The angle of the shots
through the walls showed clearly that
the bullets were fired hardly twenty
feet away from it.
All the shots went into the building
ana there was nothing to show that
any had been shot from within. A
hlOOd-stained handkerchief was pur-
ported TO have been picked up the
next morning by the constables, but
the blood was dry and apparently
many days old. When the entire story
had been analyzed it was found to be
incredible.
Both Dearborn and Murdock en-
pha1cally declare that the reported
battle with burglars at Sather station
was in fact exactly as they related the
occurrence to their superiors. They
deny that there was any fake about

Professor Albert A. STAN
ley Advocates the Teach
ing of 1t in the College
OUTLINES A COURSE
Gentle Art Must Bear Same
Relation to Curriculum
as Other Academic Work
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call
2148 Center Street, July q.

Professor Albert A. Stanley, professor
of music at the University of Michigan,
sees no good reason why a university
cannot teach music as well as any
school that is organized specifically to
give instruction in the art. In fact, there
is much to be said in favor of the uni
versity teaching music, declares Pro
fessor Stanley, because along with this
special instruction goes the education
in history, philosophy and the modern
languages that make for the broaden
ing of the intellect of the student and
turn him into a more receptive, sympa-
thetic being.
Professor Stanley gave expression to
his views before his summer-school
class in music this afternoon at the
University of California, where he
spoke upon "Music and the University"
In considering the position of music in
the university. he said it must of neces-
sity be treated as a subject for grad
uate work, and for research, and finally
it's relation to the whole university
must be emphasized. AS a subject for
graduate work music must bear the
same relation to college work that
specialization in other departments
bear to training in other academic
courses, and the highest degree in
music SnOulQ only De given 10 InOSe
who have done either research or Gre
ative work of a high grade.
Speaking of the establishment of a
strictly professional department of
music, Professor Stanley said that he
would insist on the same entrance re-
quirements as are given for the de-
partment of art. Continuing he said:
I would not give more than forty hours in
this course. In addition to it 1 would insert

would allow students to pursue the study of
either the piano or violin under an Instructor
of university grade and give them credit up
to certain period, hour for hour
In the case of the composer, Professor
Stanley said in closing, that, all things
being equal, there is much to be said in
favor of the training made possible in
the university and which exists no.
where else. This is because there is
danger that the specialist in music
may, like the investigator in other
subjects, lose sight of the relation of
his speciality to life, which is after all
the true end of education

The Merchants Exchange of Oakland
is making an effort to induce the
Southern Pacific Company TO establish
an all-night service between Oakland
and San Francisco. Tomorrow after
noon committee of three members of
the exchange will hold conference
with the officials of the company in San

be made to arrange for the immediate
Inauguration of the owl service.
The members of the Merchants Ex-
change committee are ]. F. w. Sohst,
Wilbur Walker and Z. G. Eiben.
The proposition to secure an all
night service between Oakland and
San Francisco was first brought up by
Director Sohst, who believes that since
there are two ferry systems in opera
tion there should be some means of
transportation between midnight and
6 o'clock a. m.
Since the appointment of the COM
mittee a week ago, the members have
interviewed a number of prominent
business men of Oakland on the sub
ject, and all heartily indorse the pro-
posed innovation. Several officials of

been spoken to and they appeared to
approve of the move An attempt will
be made to reach an understanding at
the conference tomorrow.
The company will be asked to run a
boat every two hours between mid
night and o'clock a. m. Director
Sohst suggested that if the officials of
the company think that the arrange
ment will not be a financial success, the
burden be shared by both the ferry
systems, the Southern Pacific boat and
the Key Route boat to operate alter

DESPERATE CRIMINAL
BREAKS INTO ORPHANAGE
Viciously Chokes a Sister Who Woke
Up and Discovered Him in
Her Room.

SPOKANE, Wash, July 27.-One of
the most daring crimes ever reported
to the police occurred at midnight
last night, when an unknown man eff
fected an entrance into st. Joseph's
Orphanage and entered the room of
one of the Sisters. He awakened the
Sister, who screamed for help, in
spite of the fact that he told her he
would kill her if she made the least
noise. Before she could scream again
the ruffian seized her by the throat
and commenced choking her. BY that
time other Sisters began to arrive on
the scene, but the man did not make
any move to leave the room till one
of the large mastiffs kept in the build
ing, which had been aroused by the
screams of the Sisters, began to bark.
Before the dog could be released
the intruder rushed from the room
into the hall and through the boys
dormitory and made his escape
through an open window.
The Sister attacked by the ruffian
was considerably injured about the
throat.

The trouble arises over an item OF
0.000 difference in the estimated cost
II the building and the actual outlay
as shORn by the contractors accounts.
How the discrepancy arose is a matter
the trustees have under inquiry. Last
year Laurel school district voted $780,
GOO in bonds to erect the building. As
the work progressed this money was
spent and $4,000 more, which was in the
school district fund. At this time ii is
estimated that $4,000 additional will
be required TO pay the amount claimed
by Anderson and to buy the necessary
furnishings
To settle accounts with the con-

for $4,000 was held recently, but the
proposition was defeated.
