KILLS BROTHER
AND HIMSELF
Special Dispatch to The call.

STOCKTON, April 1.-THE home of
Henry Mohr, near Bethany. this
county. was the scene of a terrible
tragedy this morning, when William
Mohr deliberately shot his brother
George to death and then killed him
self.
George Mohr was eating his break
fast, when his. brother entered the
room and, leveling a rife at him, fired
two shots. One Of the bullets entered
his chest and caused his death in a
few seconds. While the distracted par
ents We're kneeling by the side of the
dying man, the murderer went to his
room, closed the door and, lying down
on the bed, sent a bullet through his
own head.
There has been feeling between the
brothers for some time over a ques-
ton of a division of profits on some
land farmed jointly. Added to this
there was a jealousy felt by william,
the elder, who thought that the par
ents favored George, the younger son.
This was aggravated by a weakened
mind, the murderer having been
queer" for several years. William
Mohr was "A and his brother two years
younger.

CITY ATTORNEY
Is SUSTAINED

NAPA. April 1.-THE case of ". F.
Rutherford. an attorney Of Napa,
against Mayor Fuller and five City
COuncilmen was tried before Judge
Cesford to-day. Attorney Rutherford
asked for a peremptory writ Of man
date directing the Mayor and the City
Council to call an election for May 1,
1905. for Mayor, City Engineer, City
Attorney, City Marshal. and City Clerk.
The City Council has already issued
a call for the election Of three Coun-
cilmen.
Attorney Rutherford argued that
according to the charter amendment
passed in 1908 TIE five officers in ques-
ton were elected in 1901. The term
OF Office was changed from two to four
years in 1903. City Attorney York
contended that the four-year terms
commenced IN 1903, and so there
should be no election for Mayor, City
Engineer and the other officers until
1907.
Judge Gesford decided that the lat
ter contention was correct

Mrs. Edward X. Rol-
kGP'S Instructive
Lecture.
Passion Pldg In the
German Village
Described.
BY LAURA BRIDE POWERS.

The Youths Directory is one of San
F'rancisco's pet philanthropies-as 1t
should be.
Whenever a call comes for aid from
the thousands or more little lads who
find shelter and love and comfort In
the directory the response comes with
villas it should.
And when accompanying the call
entertainment is offered of q kind that
appeals. then is there a brave showing
of allegiance to our pet philanthropy.
And thus it came to pass, in the
maple room of the Palace last night,
that lecture on the Passion Play"
as seen at Oberammergau, was given
by Mrs, Edward Xavier Rolker-
given in the dim. religious half-light
that diffuses atmosphere" and makes
things to fit.
Accompanying the words OF the
reader was a soft organ accompani-
ment, played by Professor A. L. Ar
atmosphere" of this, the saddest,
solemnest theme that men can know,
nevertheless it encroached somewhat
upon the speakers presentation of the
sorrowful tragedy.
Wholly without pretensions as q
platform speaker, Mrs. Rolker gave
this talk some weeks ago at the Sa-
NlSd I1CdII xACdQCIly III CAdi
fashion. So interested were the young
women in what she showed them upon
canvas, and talked about, that pres
sure was brought to bear upon her to
repeat the reading for all who would
care to hear-with the stipulation that
the funds go to the depleted treasury
of the directory.
And thus was the maple room
crowded with those who came to hear
ho rafnllivc~ Of dfyiyn 0odv and
sweetly, reverently, touchingly was the
story told.
Gowned in a quaint grayish frock.
with liu1pid lace about her white
throat, Mrs. Rolker made a witching
picture, standing in tangle Of palms
and ferns; at her side lay great
bunch of Bermuda lilies, whose sweet
breath rose like incense.
Among the views thrown upon the
screen were some superb scenes of the
Passion Play" as given at the old
German village. From these the
earnestness and zeal of the villagers
are not only seen, but felt.
And as at "Parsifap the "atmos-
phere" prevented applause, even
where applause was due. And 1t was
in the instances of the singers, Mrs.
Henry Ohlandt and Mrs. w. l. Roth
child.
The patronesses, most of whom
were present, were as follows: Mrs.
Richard Tobin. Mrs. Eleanor Martin,
Mrs. Maurice Casey. Mrs. William G..
Irwin, Mrs. John NJ. Burnett, Miss
Jennie Blair, Mrs. Hyde-Smith, Mrs.
Alexander H. Loughborough, Mrs. J..
NJ. Driscoll, Mrs. Thomas B. Bishop,

WOMAN LOCKS
Up AN AGENT
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORTLAND, April 17.-Locking the
front and rear doors Of her house at $40
East Morrison street after a hard
struggle with w. J. Cain, the agent of
a picture enlarging concern, this morn
ing, Mrs. Mary Ogden held him and a
companion prisoners for an hour and
half while the police were answering
her summons.
The act of the woman borders on the
heroic. She accuses Cain Of using in
sulting language and attacking her in
his effort to get out Of the house with
out returning her property. Though al
most fainting at times, she says, she
clung to the man until he was safely
imprisoned. Then she called Contractor
Van Stone to assist her In watching the
house. Through mistake made In se-
curing the address the police did not
reach her house until an hour and a
half had elapsed.
