LIVES BEYOND A HUNDRED.

OAKLAND, May 3.-In three centu-
ries lived and died Mary Elliott, cen
tenarian negress, who tonight passed
out at the remarkable age of los
years. Death came to her at the re-
ceiving hospital this evening.
Active in mind and body to the last.
the old woman left her house this af-
ternoon and walked quarters of
a mile. She had complained of not
being we'll. but did not seem to be
alarmed over her condition.
Mrs. Elliott lived through at least
a part of the administration of every
President of the United States, from
George Washington down. She was
born in Philadelphia in 1897, the year
that the first President completed his
second term. For forty years she had
made her home in Oakland. Her hus-
band died some years ago, and she
left no children, so far as had been
learned by the Coroner. who took
charge of the body.

CHARGES CRAVE
IS DESECR
Chinese Lottery King Dis
covers His Monument Over
Clarity Mound Is Removed
WANTS STONE PUT BACK
Devotion to Memory of Prom
inent Lawyer Costs Orient
al a Deal of Trouble

OAKLAND, May 2.-The grave of
Thomas F. Garrity in ST. Mary's Gene
terry has been desecrated by the re-
moval from IL well-known attorney
and politicians resting place of sim
pie marble stone that was raised over
the mound by Gee Nom, the Chinese
lottery king, as a tribute of respect.
Gee Nom charges Peter F. Garrity,
a brother Of the dead lawyer, with the
removal of the monument to the dead.
The Chinaman discovered that the
gravestone had disappeared when, with
his family, he made his customary pill
grimage to the cemetery Sunday to
place fresh flowers upon the sepulture
where rested the body of him who had
for years been legal adviser and coun-
sci to the clever Oriental.
Astonished over the absence of the
stone, Gee Nom began to investigate
He declares he has learned that Gar
rity's brother took away the piece OF
marble and had stored it beyond the
sentimental Chinaman's reach.
Gee Nom applied to Attorney w. S.
OBrien for advice. He will get into
communication with Peter Garrity at
once. In broken English Gee Nom to-
day bemoaned the fate of his grave
stone. The substance of his plaint was
that he had found the resting place of
his old counselor's remains neglected
and unmarked. He had provided the
little monument out of his own purse
and for many months had cared for the
grave. Now his efforts were in vain.
Il suppose" said Gee Nom, that the
Garritys have the claim to the plat,
but Tom Garrity's sister thanked me
for what had done. My attorney Will
try to fix the trouble with the brother
and have the stone replaced.

Nearly One Thousand Will Participate
In Communal Life at UnlVer-

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-Nearly 1000
Episcopalians, clergymen and laymen,
will next week go into a retreat" from
the world and will, for four days, lead
a communal life in Chicago, much like
that of monks in a cloister. The re-
treat will be a group of buildings at the
University of Chicago. The partici-
pants will be the delegates to the
twentieth annual convention of the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew. This
great denominationa1 fraternity num-
bers $4,000 members.
The idea of the retreat" will be
carried out consistently during the four
days the delegates will be in Chicago.
They will not necessarily be cut off
from the world, but those who wish
members of the brotherhood from We'd
nesday to Sunday evening. The uni
versity authorities have furnished many
of the lower group apartments with al
most monastic simplicity.
Women who accompany their hus-
bands or brothers to the convention
will have taste of the monastic life.
For feminine use one of the "co-ed"
dormitories has been set aside.
The purpose of this modern retreat" "
as founded by officials of the brother
hood is to intensity the feeling of uni
versal brotherhood.
John H. Small, secretary of the Chi
cago assemblage, is receiving an unpre-
| cedented number of applications from
delegates all over the country. 1t is
expected there will be members of the
brotherhood present from China,
Hawaii and other countries.

BLAMES THE PUBLIC
FOR FOOTBALL CRAZE
President Angel of University OF
Michigan Makes His AM
nuaI Report
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ANN ARBOR Mich, Sept. 13.-Presl-
dent James b. Angel of the University
Of Michigan in his annual report, made
public today, lays upon the shoulders
of the general public large share
of responsibility for the increasing
craze for athletic games.
'"The public are as crazy about foot
ball as the Students" he says and he
adds that one might as well ask col
lege men not to share in the excitement
of presidential election as to expect
them not to participate in the preva-
lent craze for athletics.
Commenting upon the fact that the
men students are drifting to the scien-
tif1c and engineering courses, while the
women students are nearly all pursuing
the course in arts, President Angel
suggests the question whether the old
fashioned liberal training is not largely
to be monopolized by the women.

"The result of our connection with

Questioned further in this line, Mr..
Cromwell excepted the syndicate trans
