SAYS BIC CHINESE
BATTERED HER.
Millie Thompson, a Do
mestic, Tells Strange
Story to the Police
TALE DISCREDITED

OAKLAND, Aug. AFTER having
been dragged from her bed and beaten.
she alleges, by a burly Chinese, Mile
Thompson. q domestic, aged SO years,
was found in a semi conscious condi
tion in the hallway OF = lodging house
at Ninth street and Broadway at
O'Clock this morning. She was taken
TO the City Prison, but when she ar
rived there her condition alarmed Cap
tain OF Police Lynch, who had her re-
moved to the Receiving Hospital for
medical treatment.
The woman's story is that she was
awakened by a noise at her door,
which she opened. AS no one was in
SIGHT she returned 10 bed. but failed
10 lock the door. and soon afterward
large Chinese entered and began beat
ing her In her efforts TO escape, she
says. she tried to jump from the win
dow OF the room, but her assailant
prevented her from making the leap.
She remembers little more until she
reached the hospital
Warden Page. who dressed the
woman's wounds, found her face badly
confused and both OF her eyes so badly
swollen that she could not open them.
There were distinct marks OF a fist
in the discoloratton fof the face. The
police have no doubt that the woman
was severely beaten. but the fact that
there were unmistakable signs that she
had been drinking heavily incline them
to discredit her story of the early
morning attack No one has been
found who heard the noise of the
struggle, and the Thompson woman is
unable to give q description Of her
assailant except to say that he was a
Chinese and was unusually large and
strong for his race.

EOEHNER ACCUSED OF USING
INFLUENCE FOR PRIVATE GAIN
Dumping Of Garbage on Alameda Trus-
tees Tide Lands Raises Storm
at BOnrd Meeting.

ALAMEDA. Aug. 4.-City Trustee
Fritz Boehmer's plan of reclaiming
several tide lots that he owns on Bay
Island avenue by dumping garbage
upon the low land is meeting with
many protests and mach opposition
from residents in the neighborhood OF
the Boehmer dumps, and last night the
matter was the subject OF a heated de-
bate between Boehmer and City Trus-
tee W. ". Bowers
The latter declared that Boehmer was
using his official influence to further
his own private interests and was vio
lating a sanitary ordinance which pro-
hibits the dumping of garbage within
the corporate limits OF the munich
pality. Boehmer asserted that Bowers
was an obstructionist, opposed to i'm
provements and was slow and behind
the age.
As a result OF the dispute Boehmer
announced that he would introduce an
amendment to the anti-garbage ordi-
nance with the purpose of removing
legal obstacles so that he could reclaim
his tidal realty with garbage.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS
DENY CHARGES.
Reply to Critics Who Do
Not Approve of Their
Handling of Buildings
NEED MORE MONEY

OAKLAND, Aug. 4.-In answer to
the charges of the directors of the
Merchants Exchange. who have criti-
cised the methods of the Board OF
Education in the erection of the new
school buildings of this city and the
sale of bonds which were voted for the
construction OF these buildings, the
members of the board have issued a
statement setting forth the conditions
under which the bonds were disposed of
and the buildings constructed. cash
statement submitted by the board
shows that of the s960,00o raised by
the sale Of the bonds 1891, $3.50 has
already been expended or contracted
for school sites and the erection of
new buildings.
The members OF the board contend
that had the new buildings, which were
in course of construction when they
were damaged by the earthquake of
April Is, been completed instead of be-
ing Just al the point where they were
mere shells, the damage done by the
temblor would not have been nearly
so great. 1t is also declared that the
structures were planned in accordance
with specifications accepted as the best
method Of school construction through
out the East by architects whose hon.
esty and ability are beyond question.
The members OF the board deny that
there is any intention of relieving the
contractors Of their responsibility for
damage done by the earthquake be-
cause the price of labor and material
has advanced since the earthquake
None of the contractors have asked
this, nor is there any intention of such
action on the part of the board.
NO method Of completing the build
lngs now in course OF construction re-
mains except to issue additional bonds
to cover the extra cost caused by the
unforeseen disturbance Of April Is. The
members of the board assert they are
not asking for more money for any
unnecessary purpose, but are simply
making provision for carrying out the
work already designed by the people
OF this city.
The additional bond election has been
called for Saturday. August H. The
polls will be open from a. m until
sundown The polling places will be
located In the school buildings of the
city.

~ ERKELEY, Aug 4-When little
- Miss Gladys Wilson remarked
Z last week to the stage manager
of one of the Oakland theaters.
where the tiny maid had been given
a child's part in one of the produc-
tions. that she believed she would
resign, as she found it more exciting
to play In her own productions" the
stage manager laughed. He supposed
he was being kidded," in the jargon
of the stage.
What he did not know was that
little Miss Gladys Wilson is really
playwright. the author of a number of
meritorious things, and herself ap-
parently a hlstrionic genius. When
that information was vouchsafed to
the burly stage manager he apologized
to Miss Wilson. He did not know, he
said, that he had been entertaining a
star in his company, unawares, and
regretted that she had failed to have
accorded to her the star dressing
room, with other star privileges.
Miss Gladys accepted the apology
with the dignity that dramatists have
license to assume. She swept out Of
the stage managers realm with quite
regal stride and resumed her place
in her fathers household in Berkeley.
there to dream new plots and devise
new situations and pen new lines and
stage new plays of her own manufac-
ture.
The little maiden is IA years old. the
daughter of Rev. ]. Stitt Wilson, a re-
tired Methodist Episcopal minister,
whose home is at the head of Ridge
road, up in the hills of North Berke-
ley. She was not permitted to see
many plays as a little child, but the
histrionic flame burned in her, and
when but 10 years old she began to
write plays, marshaling her brothers
and sisters and other playmates to
take parts in the cast.
"Dorothea," a romantic comedy. was
staged by her in a home made theater
in the Wilson mansion year ago, Miss
Wilson taking the leading part and
acquitting herself with distinction be-
fore an audience of cultured folk from
the university town.
The little girl has written and
staged other plays. using effects that
make her performances unique. She
dents in the life of Joan of Arc, and
this will be produced soon at Miss
Wilson'S own playhouse.
The girl besought her people a
month ago to permit her to see life
behind the scenes in q real theater,
and her plea finally was granted. She
was allowed to accept place in the
ranks OF the stock company at Ye
Liberty Theater in Oakland. appearing
in "Mizpah" and other plays. Just q
taste OF that sort of thing sufficed for
the minister's girl. and 1t was then
that she astoundsd her stage manager
by the declaration that she purposed
returning to Berkeley to play star
parts in her own plays.

BAR COY CORNERS
1T STANFORD.
Faculty Eliminate the
MusicRoomsandAlte
Parlor at Roble Hall
AUTHORITIES ACT
srEcIAL pIsrArcu 20 rnE cAL1.

STANFORD UNIV ERSITY, Aug. A.
No more cozy corners in Roble Hail.
the dorrlitory OF the women students
OF Stanford University, is the edict Is
sued from Headquarters OF the institu-
ton, and the building Is being altered
accordingly. The faculty have long
contemplated some change in the man
agcnlent OF the coed rece options but as
no difficulty had ever been experienced
the matter of rearranging the general
plan of the building was deferred. The
earthquake made q large amount OF re-
pairing necessary at the dormitory, and
the opportunity has been utilized to
conform with the wishes of those who
have advocated a change.
The large drawing and reception
room which was located on the second
stcry OF the building has been moved
10 the first floor. Partitions have been
removed in a number of the dwelling
apartments to make space for the hall.
The nlusicrooms on the second floor
win also be closed and converted into
rooms to take the place OF those re-
moved below.
These changes have been suggested
tc conform with the practice of all
large co-educational institutions OF the
East. where the co-eds are allowed to
tender receptions to the men students
at the women's dormitory. This ar
rangement will not materially affect
the regular informal Roble "at homes.
at which the students from the campus
are invited TO call and meet the co-eds.
The university authorities want 1t
understood that the alteration has been
made more with an idea to conform
with modern dormitories and to facili-
tate the matron of the hall In receiving
visitors than to meet any objections to
the old arrangements. Large dances
and formal affairs have never been al
lowed in the dormitory, but take place
in the Roble Gymnasium.
