Conversational Wrestling Match.

SoA& HCsSAOAAA MO CAAs
The cloakrooms of the two houses of
congress furnish many incidents calcu-
lated to provoke amusement when the
proceedings inside are devoid Of inter
est. Particularly is this SO in the
house, where the reputa ton for dignity
and decorum is not SO thoroughly es-
tablished A few days before adjourn
ment very funny encounter took
place in the Democratic cloakroom.
Representative Clayton Of Alabama,
who is one Of the giants Of the house,
engaged in a wrestling match with
Representative Hardwick of Georgia,
recognized as one of the youngest and
perhaps the smallest member Of that
body. Hardwick, to the intense delight
Of a number of his colleagues, got a
catch-as- catch-can hold on Clayton,
which for time the taller man could
not loosen. Clayton finally landed the
midget of the house over on COM
Portable couch. Hardwick was thor
oughly out of breath, and he caused an
uproar which was echoed inside the
chamber when he with some eXultation
declared to Clayton, considering size,

Italy,a Young King.

The young Victor Emmanuel III. has
been a revelation to his people. Long
before King Humbert was cruelty as
sassinated reports were circulated thai
the heir to the throne was intellectually
a weak man, know nothing, and il
was common talk that he would never
be allowed by the Italians to reign over
them. The unexpected happened, as
it so often does. King Humbert was
murdered on the 10Th Of July, 1900. His
son assumed his rights without the
slightest hint Of trouble, and he has
proved to be as intelligent, conscien-
tious and judicious a sovereign as
united Italy has had.-St. Nicholas.

CRASHES DOWN
SHAFT TO DEATH
Elevator Boy in the Phelan
Building Makes a Fatal
Mistake and Is Killed
CAGE CREEPS UPWARD
Supposing the Car to Be on
Level With Floor, Youth
Steps Off Into Eternity

A moments thoughtlessness, COM
bined with carelessness in the manip-
ulation of an elevator switch, cost John
yesterday afternoon. Heuer was IS
years Of age and had lived at 1921 Stu
art street, Berkeley.
Heuer, who was operating the small
elevator, failed to turn the power en-
tirely off, and not noticing that the
car had moved upward after he left 1t
stepped into the shaft and plunged
downward for five stories. When DR..
Frederick w. d'Evelyn and others who
were summoned by the crash arrived
the unfortunate youth was breathing,
but he died in few minutes.
1t was the custom for the elevator
boy to run up to the fifth floor and sit
in the broad window seat on the west
side Of the building overlooking Mar
ket street and there await any call.
Heuer probably ascended to the fifth
floor, shutting off the power, as he sup
posed. and stepping out Of the car seat
ed himself at the window. In the mean
time, as indicated by the position of the
car and the governing switch, the pow
er was not entirely of and the car
crept upward.
In all probability, for no one was by
to witness the tragic death, Heuer re-
sponded to a call, and coming out Of
the binding sunlight into semi-dark-
ness stepped into the narrow shaft to
his death. This idea seems to be borne
out by the finding Of the young mans
hat on the fifth floor, and 1t is thought
that the floor of the car knocked 1t
off as the man fell.
The sound of the crash caused many
L. H. A1t lit ~
the elevator had dropped. 1t was not
until the hat was found that tragedy
was suspected. Peter Semenza, the
janitor, descended to the bottom Of the
shaft and carried Heuer to the ground
floor. Before an ambulance call could
be sent in the man was dead and the
Morgue wagon was called.
Heuer was almost unknown in the
building, having worked only since last
Friday. In his pocket was found
memorandum book with the Berkeley
address and an address Of Pleasanton
Valley, Ell Dorado County, California.
A little money and an unused Berkeley
Communication ticket, together with a
few trinkets, completed the inventory.
An entry in the memorandum book
showed that he had visited DR.. Ward
and that an elevator boy named George
Alpus in the Starr King building had
visited him. The body was taken to the
Morgue.
Heucr lived with his uncle, Edward
M. Chase, chief yeoman in the United
States navy, at 1921 Stuart street in
Berkeley. Chase said his nephew came
from Pleasant Valley, in Ell Dorado
County, where his parents reside, few
weeks ago. He was employed at Man
grum & Otter's until last week, when
Chase, who is stationed at Admiral
Glass office in the Phelan building,
procured him a situation as elevator
conductor there.

BITES Her HAND
TO SECURE COIN
Two Young Footpads Hold
Up and Plunder a School
Girl Out on COrbett Road

Two small boys, each about IL years
of age, successfully played the role of
footpad on Saturday afternoon, their
victim being Alfrida Garlain, a school
girl living on the Corbett road. The
boys are Charles Westward, 521 Eliza
beth street, and John Fraser, 1866 Noe
street.
They met the girl on the Corbett
road shortly after o'clock. She had
a dollar in her hand and when they
became aware of that fact one of them
pulled a toy pistol out Of his pocket
and pointing it at the girl ordered her
to hand over the dollar. She refused
and the other grabbed hold of her hand
and bit her fingers till she screamed
with pain and dropped the dollar.
The youthful footpads picked up the
dollar and ran till they caught q Twen-
ty-fourth street car, which they board
ed. The car was on its way to Mission
street. The robbery was reported to
the police and they discovered that the
boys had gone down town to see the
sights. The residences of their parents
terday morning Westward returned
home and was promptly placed under
arrest by Policemen Bolton and Cronin.
He was booked at the City Prison for
a public institution and was later sent
to the detention home. Fraser has not
yet been arrested.

NET foul PLAY
Maximilian Lipowitz, Assist

Custom House, Disappears
CARRIES $500 AT TIME
Well-KnOwn Man Who Has
Not Been Seen Since Satur-
day Night Is Still Missing
assistant

Macmillan Lipowitz, assistant
storekeeper in the United States Gus
tom House, is missing and his friends
fear that he has met with foul play.
Lipowitz has not been seen since yes
terday morning at o'clock, when he
started for home after visiting friends
in the Hotel Metropole. He had be-
tween $500 and $400 on his person and
jokingly remarked as he left for his
rooms that he might be held up.
Last night Mrs. Martha Stevenson,
whose husband Lipowitz was visiting,
called at the Central Emergency Hos
pital yesterday and reported the fact
Of their friends disappearance. MRS.
Stevenson said that Lipowitz was not
a drinking man and that when he left
her husbands rooms he said that ne
was going directly to his home in the
Monroe Hotel at 612 Bush street and
promised to call to see his friends
again yesterday morning.
When Lipowitz did not put In an ap-
pearance at their apartments yester-
day, Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson became
alarmed in view Of the fact that Lipo-
witz had such large amount OF
money on his person at the time he
departed, and had remarked that he
might be held up.
Inquiry was made at all the hos
pitals last night, without leading to
the discovery of the missing man. The
police were notified and detectives de-
tailed on the case.
Lipowitz is a single man and has
held an excellent Government posi-
ton for many wears. He was well
liked by all who knew him and his
friends are mystified at his disappear
ance. They fear that he may have
been made away with after falling a
victim to thieves.

Motorman Finds New Weapon.

Enraged because the car that
brought them from the park at
o'clock yesterday morning turned into
the power house at Steiner and Turk
streets instead of continuing down
town, Roy T. Dixon of 9S3 Ellis street
and Victor Jaccard of 29 Turk street
got into fight with Motorman Camp
bell. The motorman struck Dixon
with the controller, fracturing his
skull and causing a concussion of the
brain. Suffering from these injuries
Dixon was taken to the Central
Emergency Hospital, but on his ar
rival declined treatment at the hands
of DR.. Glover and was taken away by
his friend Jaccard. Both men charge
Campbell with using the controller as
a weapon.

WHILE FAMILY is AWAY
After Celebrating the New Year the
Sarles Return to Find
Home RanSaCked.

While L. Sarle and his family were
out celebrating the advent of the glad
new year, thrifty and enterprising
burglars were collecting materials for
a celebration on their own account
from the jewelry and clothing of the
Sarle family.
The Sarles live at 926 Larkin
street. and the names of the successful
burglars are unknown. When Sarle
returned to his home in the early
hours of the new year, he found the
place had been ransacked. Bureau
drawers had been looted and the con-
tents of closets and clothes presses
had been hastily tumbled about
Upon investigation it was found
that the thief or thieves had taken a
watch and pin valued at $50 and $3.50
worth of clothing and trinkets. One
of Sarle's New Years resolutions is to
buy dog.

that something had "been doing" at
the wake Of the year 1904.

with them. The imbiber resolved not

many a one who turned over a new

The City Prison drew plentiful
quota of drunk cases, as usual. The
knocker who laid away his hammer In

evening, as usual. The surly mans
breakfast was cold and he threw it
through the window and "cussed," as
usual. The man who was going to

thirty cents and squandered it with
reckless prodigality, as usual.

TAKING SHOWS
AT CALIFORNIA
: AND ORPHEUM

The Road Show entered upon its
second week at the Orpheum last
night. The bill is materially strength
ened by the addition of the Four
Bards, the most daring and original
tumblers that San Francisco audi
ence has seen in many day. Some
of the feats they performed seemed
impossible, yet they managed to get
away with them all save one feat
which they tried five times, then
gave it up. The quartet works
marvelously well together and every
act they have is a new one-some-
thing that interests the spectator. AS
usual, Mcintyre and Heath and Clar-
ice Vance reign supreme. The negro
impersonators have a new sketch en-
titled "Dr. Breakbone." They rendered
it here two years ago, but it is so fun
nv that every one seemed glad to see 1t
once again. Miss Vance has a bunch
of new coon songs and she was called
out four times before the crowd was
satisfied and then it wanted just one
more. The Latonas have a fresh sup
ply of musical skits and Smirl and
Kessner, Probst the great, the Mil
linery Maids and Spessardy's bears
and ponies help to strengthen the bill.
"Yon Yonson," the ever interesting
and entertaining play with the Swedish
hero, began a weeks run at the Cali
fornia yesterday to good houses. David
Brattstrom, who follows Gus Heege in
the title role, is as good as that clever
originator of Swedish delineation and
dialect, if not better. In addition to his
excellent impersonation Brattstrom is
a musician and introduces several vio-
lin specialties that are alone worth the
price of admission.
In the supporting company there are
few weak spots. E. Guy Spangler
makes the most of thankless genteel
heavy, and Harry Bond is entertaining
as the negro footman. Miss Marguerite
Fields is very gifted woman, her
grace and presence winning the audi
ence from the start. Violet Holmes was
acceptable as Grace Jennings, and
Hazel Harroun gave clever imper-
sonation of a boys part.
