DEMANDS JURY IN
INSANITY TRIAL
WEALTHY WOMAN DECLARES
SHE IS SANE
Mrs. Mary Rue crandalI VIII Make
Hard Fight Against Any Order
Sending Her to sani-
tarlun1

Charged with insanity, Mrs. Mary
Rue Crandall appeared before the in
sanity commission in Judge CoErey's
department of the superior court yes
terday and denying the allegation
against her, demanded, through her at
torney. the unusual right of trial by
jury.
Not for many months has a similar
demand been made but Mrs. Crandall
is determined to clear herself and gain
her freedom.
Mrs. Crandal is the divorced wife
Of E. e. Crandall, formerly a partner in
the firm of Crandall, Lane & Co., now
the Lane Dry Goods company. She
is worth more than 100000 in her own
right and even il she was declared in
sane she would not be sent to the
state asylum but would pe committed
to some private sanitarium.
Only a portion of the evidence in tho
case was heard yesterday, just enough
being taken to convince the commission
that the charge against the woman
should have a thorough investigation
and she was remanded to the care of
the sheriff of the county hospital and
her examination will probably be taken
up next week.
Evidence taken yesterday from Off
GERS of the Pacific Electric railroad
company was to the effect that Mrs.
Crandall visited the headquarters of
the company Tuesday morning and took
possession of Huntington's Jrivate Of
flee.
II am president of this company DUR
ing the absence of Mr.. Huntington,
and while he is gone L will attend to
any business you may have with him.
was the way in which she addressed
Paymaster F. A. Green when he in
quired the nature of her business in
the private office of the magnate.
According to the testimony given yes
terday, every argument possible was
used to induce the woman to leave but
all were received with cold disdain on
her part and finally Chief Au5le was
sent for. He persuaded Mrs. Crandall
to enter g carriage and then he took
her to the police station.
Mrs. Crandall is alleged to have VII
sions in which she sees accidents which
are to happen at some future date.
Several weeks ago she is alleged to
have visited Chief Auble at the police
station and to have informed him that
| she had reported for work.
What are you going to work at"
! asked the chief.
81 have received appointment as a
detective at a salary of 500 a month";"
answered the woman.
Mrs. Crandall appeared rational yes
terday but upon the advice of her at
torney she made no statement and re-
turned to the county hospital in charge
of one of the nurses.

ILLITERACY is DECREASING
Census Bureau Bulletin Shows United
States Compares Favorably
With Europe
By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-According
to a bulletin issued today by the CEN
sus bureau about 1O6 persons out of
1000 in the United States over 10 years
of age are unable to write, which is
equivalent to about one in ten. OF the
native white population only 46 out of
every 1000 or fewer than one in twen-
ty; of the foreign born white 12S out
of every 1000, and of the negroes of
every 1000 are illiterate.
International compilations indicate
that in most European countries Hit
eracy is much more prevalent than it
is here, although the United States is
still far behind Germany, Sweden,
Norway. Denmark and Switzerland.
There is also ground for satisfaction
i'm the statistical evidence that lllit-
eracy is steadily being reduced. In
1890 the number of illiterates per thou
sand was 1873 for the total population,
62 for the native white population, 1SO
for the foreign born white, and 5SS Tor
negroes, Indians and Mongolians.
The female sex is shown to be more
illiterate than the male, the illiteracy
for females being 112 per 1000 and for
males 1O1. But the contrast is less
marked than it was in 1880, when the
iliteracy for the two sexes was l4f
and 1913. respectively

was operating in the vicinity of the
scene of the shooting Patrolman Pautz
stationed himself i'm the shadow of a
Eleventh street and South Grand ave-
nue. shortly after 2:3O o'clock yester-
day morning.
At o'clock Pautz discovered a man
running south on South Grand avenue
close by the stone walls surrounding
the residence at 1851 South Grand
avenue.
Springing suddenly from his hiding
place, Pautz commanded the man to
halt. In an instant the man turned
and ran up the stone steps leading to
the residence at 1851 South Grand
avenue. AS the man gained the top
of the terraced lawn around the house
he turned quickly about and opened
fire on Pautz, who Immediately
dropped behind the stone wall. -Four
bullets struck the top edge of the wall
within two inches of the patrolman' S
head in rapid succession.
Pautz crept to the end of the wall
at the entrance to the steps and fired
five shots at the man standing on the
lawn. Some of the shots took effect
as a bloody trail was left by the flee
ing man. In bee-line with Pautz and

RARE PATTERNS
ARE DESTROYED
UNION IRON WORKS SUFFERS
A HEAVY LOSS
Flames Consume Property Which May
Not Be Replaoed-Goden State
Miners Foundry Also sus-
tains Severe Damages
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ga fire
which started from an unknown cause
at 1870 O'Clock this morning i'm the ci-
gar box factory of Ellis & Gantadine,
on Fremont street, in the heart of
the manufacturing district of the city,
burned fiercely for six hours, despite
a heavy rain causing loss of $3.50
600.
The heaviest losers are the Union
Iron Works and the Golden Gate Min
ers' Foundry companies. The original
plant of the Union works, now its
mining and general machinery branch,
was destroyed. Thousands of pat
terms, many of which can scarcely be
replaced and whose actual value was
over $4,000, were destroyed, while
other stock of equal worth was ruined.
The Golden state Miners foundry,
adjoining, makers of the immense
dredgers now used in mining opera
tions, also lost all their patterns, worth
about $50000, and sustained besides a
loss of $75, 900 on their machinery and
building. The other losses will aggre-
gate nearly $4,000, though the indi-
Vidual amounts are not heavy.
The minor losses were as follows:
The Reliance Engine company $5000
insured; Jardine Machine Works $4,000
insured: the Belts Springs company
$4,000; the Ellis Gautidine box fac
tory $S000 partially insured.
The j. F.. Thompson Slide Valve Gas
Engine company. the Great Western
Smelling and Refining company, the
Harding Gas Engine company and the
Buswell Paint company also sustained
small losses.
The brick warehouse of the Alhers
Smelling company, back of their
works at 22O First street, served to
check the spread of the fire toward the
corner of First and Howard. where
the shot tower and works of the Selby
Smelling company are located. 1t also
saved the machine shop of G. g.
Woodbury., who was injured only by
water, which soaked about $4,000 worth
of furniture stored on the top floor.
1t is said that there was great delay
in getting water on the fire.

DOCTORS MAY CANCEL DINNER
ENGAGEMENTS
Freedman and Bonynge Get Into Dis
pute With Rooming House
Proprietress and Come
Out Losers

Police Surgeons Freedman and
Bonynge are celebrating whether to
cancel their Thanksgiving dinner en-
gagement or appear in lounging robes
and sue the city for damages. One
thing is certain; that their happy at
tire will have vacation today and
calmly repose in the dark recesses of
the closets in their former apartments
at the Russell rooming house, 215 West
First street. Incidentally the wrath of
the municipal doctors has been aroused
and before the sun has set tonight
interesting developments may have
been reached with dramatic climaXes
paralleled only on the popular blood
and thunder stages in Los Angeles.
Several weeks ago the city's Golfers
became so comfortably filled that 1t
was decided to remodel the central po-
lice station. During the business hours
of the police surgeons they have been
accustomed to temporary sleeping
apartments in the police station. When
the remodeling was Legun the sur
geons were obliged to move these Sleep
ing apartments to the Russell house so
as to be in close touch with pulse
of the city's dispensary.
Surgeons Move
AT first the police surgeons were
somewhat inclined to find fault with
the arrangement, but the city prom
iSed to pay all expenses, so they moved.
AS every rooming house has it's own
original plan of collecting rents from
the guests the Russell management
had one of its own. Rent there was
always payable on the lot. of the

ever no trained landlady puts much
confidence in promises and former good
behavior but arises early on the collec-
ton day.
When the fatal tenth day of No
vember hove over the eastern horizon,
Madame Russell arose bright and ear
ly and to get an encouraging start in
the days work called first at the apart
ments occupied by the police surgeons.
But they ceverly evaded her with the
announcement that it would be but a
matter of a few days until their old
apartments in the police station would
be compl' ed and they would then set
tie up the full amount
Time flew by and the police surgeons
still continued to live in the Russell.
To guard against any one leaving the
Russell alarm clock worked overtime
and the movements of her municipal
guests were carefully noted with n
Sherlock Holmes precision and exact
ness.
Yesterday all remodeling of the po-
lice station reached the relieving eli
max and an army of TRUSTEES headed
by Janitor Gaines marched into the
Russell apartments to make record
in house moving.
1t was all over in an instant. Those
WIZ saw NiitI happened Sdlu IL was q

ordered them out with the warning
that something was going to happen.
But she was a moment too late, for
the alert TRUSTEES had dragged two
trunks and what loose clothing they
could reach with them. This was hur-
rledly taken to the new quarters.
Lose Their Treasures
The police surgeons took invoice of
the saved property. The next moment

man and Bonynge reeled to the tiled
floors and were carried to cots in the

and excitement the pair were revived.

suspenders and patent feathers.
All argument with the landlady was
without avail. Gilt edged promises to
the effect that the city would pay the
rent in due time had the same effect as
water on ducks back. Madame Rus

due be paid her, or else she would re-

COLUMBIA DEAN SCORES GAME
pisposes of Theory That Mere Change
in Rules Was Desired
nv Associated Press

by ASSOCldlSu COS
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-To dispose OF
rumors that the action of the Columbia
faculty committee on undergraduate or
eanization abolishing football at Co
lumbia was taken merely to force the
rules committee to reform the game,
and that the game may be revived
at Columbia when such result is at
tanned, Dean George w. Ketchway of
the university law school made the fol-
lowing statement today:
"The action of the faculty as | un-
derstand 1t, is not aimed at association
football or the so-called Rugby game,
but at the game of football as it now
exists i'm our American colleges. But
this statement is not to be taken that
the action of the committee was taken
in order to force reforms by the rules
committee. There is no reason to be-
lieve that committee or that the foot
ball element in our colleges has any
conception of the discredit into which
this game has fallen, and no reason
therefore to hope for a revision of the
rules that will have any material in
fuence on the game.
But the truth is that the worst fea-
lures of the game are such as no re-
vision of the rules will touch-the dis
honest and unsportsmanlike spirit
which the game at present fosters. A
revision of the rules can at best do
no more than relieve the game of some
of the dangers to life and limb which
IL now involves and to render the play
ing of dirty football "A little less easy
of concealment. When any game
reaches the point where II needs TO be
hedged about with stringent rules to
prevent the young men i'm our colleges
from resorting to trickery and dshon-
esty i'm their college sports 1t is vain to
look to any enforcement of the rules
for relief from its evils.
For these reasons il does not seem

Surrounded by officers
From the top of the terraced lawn
the fugitive ran between the two
houses and entered an alley between
South Grand avenue and Hope street,
where he mysteriously disappeared
from the patrolmen, who had arrived
by that time and complete surrounded
the square formed by West Tenth
street, South Grand avenue, West
Eleventh and South Hope streets.
Immediately behind tho point where
the burglar leaped the fence into the
alley stands a building occupied by
school of expression 1t was thought
that the man had found hiding place
therein. But upon careful searching of
the school no trace could be found of
him.
Stationed in the alley into which the
burglar leaped were seven patrolmet.
Not one of them saw him, yet, accord
ing to Pautz, the man was in that
alley. How he succeeded in making
his escape is a mystery which the po-
lice are unable to unravel. The fact
tion about the square until after day
light only adds to the mystery.
That the burglar was barefooted Is
proved by the footprints of the mans
trail This was first discovered on
the porch partially surrounding the
house at 1905 South Hope street. There
the robber attempted to enter the
house through rear window, but was
frightened away by Mrs Hart, the
occupant. From there the tracks of
the man are easily traced over the
grounds surrounding the residences
in that block and to the point where 1t
is said he entered the alley.
The houses believed to have been
entered by the burglar were: S24 West

lars was stolen from the mouse at S24
