Pretty EmpIoye Of Candy Factory
Seeks Protection From Man She
Says Has Threatened Her
With Death

Claiming that her former sweetheart
had threatened to kill her If she did
not marry him, Miss Elizabeth Sherer,
a pretty young woman employed at
Bishop e. Co.'s candy factory, sought
police protection late yesterday after
noon and asked that AL Nemity, whom
she once promised to marry, be re-
strained from doing her bodily harm.
Miss Sherer is about 21 years old and
she rooms with Miss Smith at 7S7 East
Twelfth street
She was formerly engaged to marry
Nemity, who lives in Reno, New, but
some time ago she tired of his atten-
tions, she said, and asked him to desist
from calling upon her.
According to her friends this had an
opposite effect, and he called again and
again at the house, only to be repulsed.
Threats to XIII, Is Claim
1t is said Nemity called Wednesday
night and fiourished a pistol, saying he
would kill her If she did not marry him
at once.
"I will give you until Saturday to
make UP your mind. Lizzie" Nemity is
reported to have said.
eff you don't accede to my desires you
will not live many days." continued the
frantic lover.
Other women in the house said they
endeavored to soothe the excited man,
from whom, they said, they feared
bodily harm.
The landlady finally induced him to
leave the house, but he told her he
would return again.
Fearing that Nemity would put into
execution his oft-repeated alleged
threats the police were asked to inter-
fere, and an officer was sent to the
house early in the evening.
Wants Him Restrained
Today Miss sherer will seek City
Prosecutor Beebe and ask that her toe
ardent lover be put under bonds to
keep the peace.
Miss Sherer does not live with her
parents, who are reported to have been
much dlspleased over her choice of a
future husband. She left home and
obtained employment at the candy fac
tory and roomed at 1877 East Twelfth
street.
She told her girl friends she once
loved Alfred, but finally had come to
dislike him and wished to break the
engagement He has been urging her
to marry him, and more than once he
threatened to do her some injury if
she refused, she Informed her con-
fidants, but this did not shake her
resolution
Ill from anxiety and trembling at
every step, Miss Sherer was a nervous
wreck last night. in fear that her
former fiance would commit some ter
rible act.

officers who spent yesterday in trying
to unravel the mysterious death
reached the conclusion at nightfall that
it was a case of suicide.
They had few facts to bolster up this
theory. however, as no weapon was

forced to shoot with her left hand If
she had committed suicide
In neither case is the uncertainty re-
garding the identity of the woman
cleared.
Santa Monica and the bay cities were
searched yesterday for evidence of any
missing tourists but without definite
results. The victim was either a.
stranger or used more names than her

The canyon concealed the corpse for
weeks if not months, and not much
hope exists that the victim of the gun
shot wound will ever be known.

GAS FOR 25 CENTS

BY Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 9.-Kansas
City won its long fight for cheap gas
when Mayor Beardsley today promised
to sign the so-called Fleming-Wilson
natural gas ordinance, granting a
franchise to syndicate of Chicago
capitalists and passed by the city coun-
ell last night.
The franchise Is to run for thirty
years, and 1t provides that as long as
the supply of natural gas Is reasonably
accessible It Is to be furnished at 25
cents 1000 cubic feet for domestic con-
sumption and at 10 cents for lanufac-
turing purposes.
If the natural gas supply falls then
an artificial gas is to be furnished at
75 cents 1000 cubic feet. The city may
purchase the gas works at any time,
providing the grantees receive their
profits for ten years.
The Kansas City, Mo-, gas company
now holds a franchise to furnish gas at

ALAMEDA, Aug. 9.-Kels Hersey.
the 3-year-old son of Mrs. w. D. Her
sey, is dead; Bert, aged 6, and the
mother are dying.
They were all found last night in
their home at 2204 Buena Vista avenue
with gas streaming from an open jet.
1t is believed by neighbors that Mrs.
Hersey turned on the gas
No one can be found who saw Mrs.
Hersey or her children walking about
the yard of their residence yesterday,
as was their custom.
The neighbors think that Mrs. Hersey
carried her children, as she frequently
did, into her own room and placed them
in her bed. She then turned on the two
jets of gas, 1t is believed.
The children were still in their night
clothes when Mr.. Hersey came home
from his work late at night and found
the house filed with gas and his wife
and children unconscious.
Although physicians have worked in
cessantly since last night over the vic
tins of the gas the two remaining sur
vivors are in a precarious condition.
The following Is a letter left by the
dying woman which the husband at
first refused to show:
Dearest Walter-Goodby have
ruined your life and it is no use. just
can't live. My poor boys, my heart
aches for you all but l can't help it. 1
am crazy, 1 think. 1 know 1 will

The father believes that his wife did
not intend that her children should
share her fate, as he thinks they prob
ably came into the room and were
overcome after the gas had been
turned on,

Resolution
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. AT the annual
meeting of the stockholders of Wells
Fargo Express company in this city
today the ticket of thirteen directors
headed by E. H. Hartman and COM
posed of the members of the present
board was elected over ticket named
by counsel for Walter G. Stokes, who
has been leading an Opposition" move
nent among the stockholders.
Although the voting began early in
the day, the result was not announced
till late this afternoon, the listing of
proxies, etc., being carried on under
the closest scrutiny.
The full vote of the Hartman ticket
was 47,568 to 26,216 for the stocks rep
resentatives. Not only did the Har-
riman administration elect their di-
rectors but they also succeeded in de-
feating every proposition advanced by
the opposition party.
After the final votes on the election
Of trustees had been announced the
votes on several resolutions offered
by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for Mr.
Stokes, to increase the dividend rate by
declaring an extra dividend of z per
cent to the dividend rate of per cent
already declared this year was lost,
favor of declaring annually hereafter
dividend on the basis of 16 per cent.
Resolution Lost
A resolution calling for the appoint
ment of a committee to investigate the
affairs of the company also was lost.
A resolution offered by William Nelson
Cromwell, counsel for the Hartman
party, which in substance called for
nf a fO aX
anime the affairs of the company with
regard to its loans, ETC., was adopted.
Mr.. Cromwell's resolution, offered in
behalf of the administration, which
recommended that the matter of print
ing the contents of the annual report
be left to the discretion of the board
of directors was adopted. This was
one of the matters which caused much
discussion at the meeting, the minority
stockholders demanding that all the
report be printed.
A resolution was carried, offered by
Mr.. Cromwell, which recommended
that the entire question of increasing
the dividend rate be left to the board
of directors for action. After the meet
ing adjourned Mr. Stokes sent letter
to President Evans of the company in
which he said in part:
Although we have been unable to
select our llcket ana cannot therefore
control any action of the new board,
we still insist that the views of such
large number of the stockholders
should not be entirely ignored
"They one and all demand that you
put the stock on a 16 per cent basis
and that hereafter the very large sur
plus that you now hold may be only
moderately increased, thus insuring to
the present generation a more liberal
increase in their income from this in
vestment.
''If this practice is persisted in we
believe the courts will rectify it and
give the stockholders the desired re-
lief"

terror and attorney general Of the
United States, of the chief and gen.
eral land department at Washington
and of the geographical survey will
and Butte counties to determine to
what extent frauds have been COM
mitted in the acquisition of mineral
lands in placer entries in the coun-
ties mentioned.
There has been a demand for an in
vestigation ever since 1902.
State Mineralogist Aubury has been
informed, that the federal government
has finally resolved to learn all the
facts and to proceed without delay.
He was informed yesterday that a
party of experts was about to start
for California and would arrive about
September 1 to begin work.
Three-quarters of a million acres of
land are the subject of the inquiry.
The conduct of hundreds of men in
Plunas and Butte counties who helped
Yard and Walker and the Others to get
such vast tracts of land will be
brought into review.
Every tract of land entered by par
ties will be visited by men from diff
ferent departments of the government.
Biologists will decide what lands are
mineralized and the general extent of
such naturalization, to determine
whether the entries as placers are JUS
titled.
Miners will report whether the
proper assessment work has been done
to Justify the holding of mineral lands
on placer locations, and a representa-
tive of the attorney generals office
will look into the legal phases of the
