a considerable element in San Fran

her free by hook or crook. II now
appears as II there was some truth

Suppose Japan strikes as effectively

WOMAN DRINKS
CARBOLIC ACID
Mrs. A. w. Tesche DeSpairS
Because of Marital Rows
and Attempts Her Life
PENS FAREWELL NOTE
WOuld-Be Suicides GrOans
Attract NeighborS, Who
Quickly Summon Doctor

ALAMEDA, June 20. - Through
brooding over the treatment accorded
her by her husband, Mrs. A w. Tesche
of 1909 Eagle avenue became despond-
ent and after addressing a farewell
note to the man whose name she bears,
swallowed carbolic acid to-day in an
attempt to end her life. Her rash act
was quickly discovered by neighbors,
who heard the woman's groans and
summoned DR.. A A. Stafford to at
tend her. After much effort the ply
sician succeeded in overcoming the
effects of the deadly potion and saving
the patient from death.
According to persons living in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the Tesche home,
quarrels between the husband and wife
have been frequent and to more than
one neighbor the woman complained
that she was abused by the head of the
house Tesche and his spouse have
both been married before, the former
having two daughters, aged 10 and T.,
ing a young son by her first husband.
Tesche's girls make their home with
him, but Mrs. TeSche asserted to
friends that Tesche would not allow
her son to make his home with them.
This, it is said, was the chief cause of
the differences of the pair and indi-
rectly the motive of Mrs. Tesche's eff
fort to commit suicide. Tesche is in
the employ of the Southern Pacific
Company.

Verdict Docs Not Censnre.

OAKLAND, June 2O.-A verdict of
death from natural causes was rem
dered to-day by a Coroner's jury in
the case of Mrs. Clarisse Banning, who
died suddenly while under the care
of Mrs. L. A. Fairchild, a Christian
science healer. Testimony was given
to show that DIR. I. Z. Nicholson was
called when Mrs. Banning's condition
became alarming, but the patient
passed away before the physician ar
rived. After signing the verdict
Charles O'Neill, one of the jurors, said
he thought the scientist healer should
have been censured, but the verdict
was allowed to stand, each of the six
jurors having signed it without cover
ing anything but bare recital that
death was due to rupture of the stom-
ach. Mrs. Banning was a prominent
resident of the Hawaiian Islands.

THE AMERICAN CHARACTER"
DISCUSSED BY LECTURER
Harley r. Wiley Addresses Large Au-
dience at Academy of Sciences on
Noteworthy National Traits.

In a free lecture last night before
a large audience at the American
Academy of Sciences, $40 Market
street, Harley r. Wiley, special lee
turer on Jurisprudence at the Univer-
sity of California, discussed the many
notable American qualities. He chose
for his address, which lasted nearly
two hours, the title, The American
Character After comparing this at
some length with the characters of
other nations, he spoke of the impress
sion Charles Dickens received when he
visited this country-impressi for
the most part, humorous and satirical.
and then of Kipling, who perceived not
only the humorous and comicaI side
but also the destiny of a great peo-
pie.
Mr.. Wiley deplored the American
habit of scattering intellectual forces
over a vast field. He attributed this
somewhat to descent from a pioneer
people who had been compelled to
work at almost everything. In clos
ing he remarked on the American ten
dency to go to the extreme in all
things, as well as to develop an inten-
sity that has its elimination in pat
riotism.

FOOTBALL FIELD
BEGUN At LAST
First Step Is Taken Toward
Athletic Stadium at the
University of California
GROUND is BROKEN
Baseball Diamond and Oval
for General Games Will
Follow as Funds Accrue

BERKELEY, June 20.-The first
shovelful of earth for the athletic
stadium that is to form an important
part of the greater University of Call
fornia was turned this morning on the
Hnlegass Tract, which is included IN
the area covered By the Hearst plans.
Here, where the trials OF brain ana
Drawn of future generations of college
athletes will be desperately fought the
earth is being twisted and nodded into
shape. For a thing meaning so much
to California the first turning was sin
gularIy barren of formality and hardly
passing notice was given II. There
was no ceremony, no speechifylng-
only a word from the foreman and
the digging began.
With plOws and scoops the crowd of
workmen set about the task of digging
a big hole in the earth opposite Hearst
Hall and between College avenue and
Barrow street About 1900 cubic yards
will be taken from an area a little
larger than a football field, for II IS
proposed to build only the football field
now. The plans call for the removal
of the top soil, which will be stored
until sufficient depth of the clay sub
stratum is removed and then replaced.
1t will take more than a month TO do
this and the cost will be about $4,000.
Excavating for the football field will
be a simple matter after all, when the
immensity of the whole project is
taken into account In time the en-
tire Hillegass Tract will be transformed
into one broad athletic stadium, state
ly and classic in it's surroundings.
There will be, besides the football field,
baseball grounds and an athletic oval,
so arranged that they may be turned
into one field. A grand sweep of level
ground will stretch from Hearst Hall
to Barrow street. the whole surrounded
by majestic columns.
All this is to cost many thousands Of
dOllars-thousands that the students
is the students that must foot the bills.
The football field alone will require
between $4,000 and ST 900. In addition
TO the $4,000 for eXcavating, it will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 to build the
bleachers that are to surround the field.
The other things will come in time, as
the students find the means to pay for
them. A field with an ordinary wooden
fence and bleachers. everybody knows
will not be very slightly adjunct to
Hearst Hall, and all the haste pos
sible will be made to carry out the
great plan.
The income from games will be de-
voted to paying for the stadium. The
first intercollegiate game between CaltT
fornia and Stanford will be played this
year on the new field. A large sum
will be saved the university for the
rental of grounds which in other years
have cost about $4,000 for a single day.
