MARSHAL IS SLAIN
BY BURGLARS.

SEATTLE, Oct. 31.-Two men were
killed and several were wounded in
a pitched battle between officers and
burglars at Kennewick, a small town
in Benton County, late tonight.
The dead: Marshal Mike Glover of
Kennewick, unidentified burglar.
The wounded Joe Halsey, deputy
marshal of Kennewick. expected to
die; Sheriff McNeal, shot twice but not
seriously wounded.
The burglars had robbed two stores
in Kennewick. The officers. led by
Sheriff McNeal. came upon the rob-
bers unexpectedly in the brush. There
were six of the outlaws, and all at once
commenced firing. Marshal Glover OF
Kennewick was instantly killed.
After being shot McNeal emptied his
revolver at the robbers, killing one
and finally capturing another while
two were captured at Pasco and two
got away. The Sheriff wired to
Prosser for twenty deputies. who
started in pursuit of the robbers, and
bloodhounds from Walla Walla and
Spokane have been sent for.
The gang of burglars is a desperate
one and is thought 10 have rendez-
voused at Kennewick with the inten-
tion of holding up a Northern Pa
cific train.

OAKS LIKE CURVES
DISHED UP BY
Mr.. WEIGH.
By William j. Slattery.

Paddy Welch did not have much of an
assortment when he stepped out upon
the firing line TO hand il out to the
Commuters yesterday afternoon. In
fact the oaks walloped everything that
Paddy tossed at them. Those that they
did not hit were generally wide shoots
and as these came in punches at times
all a Commuter had to do was to wait
and a base on balls was his.
II may be that Welch thought that
after San Francisco managed to put
two runs over in the fourth the game
was in and his hour of worry at an
end. But it was not so. for the Com
muters did not start till the Seals led
the way When they did commence to
pile up runs, however. they waded in
and made enough to carry them through.
Hildebrand opened up the second in
ming for San Francisco by lining one
down to Francks Buck booted the ball
and when Walthour produced sky
scraper to Smith a moment later the
same thing happened. Along came
Hit at this juncture with rip-snort-
ing triple against the left field fence
chasing both men in ahead of him
The Oakland fielders played in for Hit,
but he was there with the long wallop
for a change.
Oakland turned the tide OF victory
in the fourth spasm. Van Haltren was
muller came along with hit, scoring
Van. Devereaux and Haley were treated
to passes in succession after Fatty
Hackett had sacrificed. Francks came
through with a hit and Reidy with
long fly, putting four past the plate in
jig time and taking the little remain
ing ginger out of the Seals, for they
never scored again.
Oakland landed once again i'm the sew
eth and finished up a good days work
by taking advantage Of Mr.. Welchs
generosity in the final spasm. Reidy
Smith and Van Haltren all soused the
leather safely after two had been
slowed under the bench Heitmuller
came up for his and WEIGH shot the
sphere into his Stats, thus forcing the
last one over. Fatty Hackett turned
a couple of nice tricks behind the bat
besides putting an alarming amount of
pepper into his work. He was coach
ing from the side lines like a $4,000
booster. In fact the pompous one
never worked in his life like he did
yesterday. The fans were busy trying
to figure out whether Fatty was to get
a raise in salary for the next five days
of the season or whether he had bet
big bundle Of money on Oakland

Will Ascertain If
Any Treaty Right
Is Violated.

OAKLAND, Oct. 31.-Nictor II. Met
calf, Secretary of Commerce and Labor,
delegated by President Roosevelt to in
vestigate and report upon the action
of the Board of Education of San Fran
cisco in excluding Japanese pupils from
the schools where white children are
taught and sending them to the sepa-
rate schools maintained for the Mon
golians, arrived tonight from Washing
ton.
Secretary Metcalf went Immediately
to the residence of his wife's mother,
Mrs. j. H. Nicholson. 1921 Linden street.
When asked for a statement regarding e
his mission Secretary Metcalf said:
There is nothing of moment 1 could
say at this time relative to the matters
that I was sent here by the President
to investigate. You can readily under
stand the reason for this, for, not
knowing the situation. cannot talk in
telligently about it. Later 1 may have
something to say. I will go to San
Francisco early in the morning and be-
gin work right away. While conduct
ing the investigation and preparing my
report to the President / will make my
headquarters in the postoffice building.
How long l will remain here will de-
pend largely on the work I may have
to do. I would have gone direct to
San Francisco tonight had it been con-
venient for me to get suitable quar-
ters"
The Presidents action in directing
the inquiry is understood to be based
upon a desire for positive information
whether any treaty rights of the Japa-
nese have been infringed by the Board
of Education. On this point Secretary
Metcalf was silent. He reiterated that
his utter lack of knowledge of the sit
uation, except by hearsay, made it i'm
possible for him to say anything at
present. The Secretary desires to get
at his work and complete it quickly.

STUDENT VICTIM OF
FEVER CULTURES.
Death Of James Loucks Is
Charged to Germs Freed
in University Laboratory
JANITOR BROKE TUBE

OAKLAND. oct. sI-The victim Of
typhoid fever cultures released from d
tube n the University Of California
laboratory, James Loucks, student
died last night at his residence at
Pacheco.
The accident. which occurred two
weeks ago in a meteorological labora-
tory at Berkeley, has proved fatal TO
one. while another, Frank Thompson
custodian OF the laboratory building,
has hovered for days between life and
death.
DR.. Archibald 7. Ward, the expert
bacteriologist. has been experimenting
with typhoid fever cultures. Thompson
dropped one of the glass tubes, IN
which fever bacteria We're confined, and
the contents, bearing millions OF dis
ease microbes, were released
A few days later Thompson was
seized with typhoid fever, and with the
announcement that the disease had
broken out. the university authorities
took steps TO destroy the escaped mi
crobes.
1t was believed no further danger
existed, but shortly afterward Loucks,
who had attended the laboratory, was
taken i'll. he was sent TO his home at
Pacheco. His father insists his death
IS the result of contact with the bac-
terra laden air at the laboratory.
Loucks' case is peculiarly unfortu-
nate. He had nearly completed his col
lege work and was TO enter West Point
Military Academy soon. He was highly
regarded among his university asso-
ciates.

BODY FOUND on THE BEACH.

MARTINEZ. Oct. 31.-The body of a
young man, presumably about 20 years
of age was found on the beach at
Oleum, a mile below Vallejo Junction,
yesterday by William Garrison, super
intendent Of the oil works. The face
was covered with a two weeks
growth of beard. The body was clothed
in blue overalls, with black working
shirt and a blue coat with no vest.
Nothing was found in the pockets
which might serve as clew toward
Identification. Though there are sew
eral small bruises upon the head, it is
not thought that it is case of foul
play.

ASSAYER IS SHOT
BY MPLOYE.

GOLDFIELD, New, Oct. fisherman
Parker, an assayer of this city, was
shot and probably mortally wounded
this afternoon in his assay shop on Co
lumbia street. Parker was shot by
James Smith an employe. The shoot
ing began in the Office and the COM
batants struggled to the street and
continued fighting until Parker fell
with a bullet in his left side.
What started the trouble is not posi-
lively known, but it is understood that
Parker accused Smith of having stolen
high grade ore from the. shop. Parker
was still alive tonight, but there are
grave doubts of his recovery.
Parker is a noted character both in
Goldfield and in Cripple Creek. He is
said to have been prominent in the

BULLET ENDS LIFE
Of FhTAL|ST.

BERKELEY. Oct 91.-Lewis Rad
gesky was fatalist. He believed that
suicide was the proper cure for all the
ills that mind and flesh may bear. The
destruction of a part of San Francisco
by fire unnerved him. and, as he had
little left of the worlds goods with
which he might help rebuild the city,
he decided that he would be of little
use to himself or mankind. IT was a
foolish conclusion, but Radgesky did
not look at IT in that way. consequently
he sent a bullet into his brain this
morning while resposing in his bed at
2405 Telegraph avenue. Death was in
Simultaneous.
When his wife heard the pistol shot
she ran from the kitchen, saw what
had happened and summoned DR.. Frank
Simpson. Medical assistance was of no
avail
Radgesky was mining speculator.

The train was running late,
and a freight engine was on
the main track. A flagman,

was sent back to flag the train.
According to his story he went
back a mile, but according to
the engineer he was only a
few car lengths back from the
freight engine.
The passenger train struck
the freight engine, and the
floor of the baggage car slid
over the floor of the smoker, in

were riding. It packed pas
