CLIMBS A TREE
TO END HIS LIFE
WOuId-Be Suicide Swallows
Morphine and Falls From
Lofty Perch.
Neither Poison Nor Contact
With the Ground Does
Great Damage.

BERKELEY, May 1S.-All records
for novel methods used by would be
suicides TO end their wretched lives
were broken by George c. Wilson in
West Berkeley last night, when he
climbed a tree near Corbin station and
there swallowed the contents of bot
tie of morphine
Wilson was partially intoxicated
when he made his spectacular climb
up to the top of tall eucalyptus tree.
whisky flask was found on his per-
son. Spectators who watched him
climb the tree. and who supposed the
act was merely the freak of a drunken
man, hurried to the spot when they
saw him tumble to the ground, expect
ing to find him dead.
By some miracle Wilson escaped
death. Just what 1t would take to
kill him remains to be seen, whisky,
morphine and sfall from a treetop
having altogether failed to greatly
feaze him.
The police were informed Of Will
sons condition and called in DR.. H.
n. Rowell who gave the man anti
dotes and saved his life When he
recovered consciousness Wilson NUT
tered:
The world has no use ror old men
like me-"
He has not vet informed the authori-
ties Of his history or place of resi-
dence. He is about so years old The
bottle containing the morphine he used
came from a Merced drug store.

ARMIES SCORES
AS A MANAGER
Berkeley Professor Praised
Tor Success of Bern
hdrdt Presentation.
University Will Receive Snug
Sum as Its Share OF
Receipts.

BERKELEY, May 1S.-The glamour
that Bernhard threw over the
"Phedre" production in the Greek
Theater and the memory of the splen-
did stage performance of her COM
pany are now followed, in the minds
Of those who directed the undertake
ing, by consideration of the more sor?
did details Of the affair. The matter
OF exact attendance and receipts is to
be the subject Of a statement which
Professor William Dallam Armes will
issue at an early day. About 5000
persons saw Bernhard. The receipts
were s54o0.
There is glory enough for all who
had direct or remote connection with
the Bernhardt triumph in the Greek
Theater, but Berkeley folk, who know
something Of the part played behind
the scenes by Professor Armes, unite
IN according him the right to wear
a large peacock feather in recognition
gagged Bernhardt for the Greek Thea
ter, and so manipulated the business
details of the affair that nearly 5000
persons paid round iron dollars to see
the French actress. Professor Armes
is chairman of the musical and dra-
matte committee OF the university
faculty. and he It is who arranges
Tor the coming to the univer-
sity of the great stars of the drama,
like Richard Mansfield and Bernhardt
and lesser lights in the theater flrma-
ment.
Professor Armes said today that 4S00
persons paid for seats at the Bern
hardt matinee yesterday. and as there
were more than 100 complimentary
seats, the attendance was almost ex-
actly equal to the figure given by The
Call in its report OF the affair, when
5000 persons were said to have been
in the Greek Theater.
The total receipts. according to Pro-
fessor Armes. were about $500. of
which the university receives a proper
percentage.
Professor Armes was at pains today
TO disclairn responsibility for the alb
surd stage settings utilized IN the
',Phedre" production.
Il agree with The Call in its criti-
cism of those absurd settings" said
Professor Armes, but / must insist
that Bernhardt's stage manager be
held responsible. He was the doctor
and he did the work of ordering the
that you saw on the
stage. know that the palms looked
foolish. and the Oregon pine chairs
and symphony concert dais was un-
but please charge 1t all
to the Partisan who is paid a salary
by Bernhard TO see to all Of that"

PERMITS WORK
TO GO AHEAD
Court Denies DaItOn'S Peti-
ton for Restraining
Order.
Realty Syndicate Scores in
Oakland Water Front
Suit.

OAKLAND, May 1S.-The petition
OF the Henry p. Dalton & Sons Com
pany Tor temporary Injunction to
restrain the Realty Syndicate from
proceeding with its proposed improve
nents on the West Oakland water
front was denied by Judges Ellsworth,
osoen ana waste, sitting in bank this
atternoon. The decision was reached
after several days OF argument Il
was hnaIly determined that upon the
showing made by Dalton he was not
entitled 10 stop the work.
Attorneys Shook and Church and
William Lair Hill for Dalton then Pc
uloneo for an order to show cause
way a permanent injunction should
next Friday. In the meantime the
Realty Syndicate VIII be allowed TO
drive It's piles rs fast as men and
steam can send them home.
The point upon which Dalton's at
torneys base their action is that IL has
never been determined what a uayiga-
Die waterway is; second, that the
state has no right to deed away the
rlght OF land holder. II is claimed
that this land over which the Realty
syndicate is now projecting its i'm
proVements is naVigable and that, all
though the State has apparently at
tempted 10 give title TO the land IL
had no right to Go it.
The Judges stated that there was
very nice and far-reaching point of
law in tae contention, but that il was
somewhat far-fetched and that the
general trend Of decisions favored the
defendant There is some doubt as
10 the right Of appeal from the pres
ent order, and il is for this reason that
petition was made for an order to
show cause. At that time IL the casa
is submitted upon the same showing
II will probably be denied and Dalton
VII then take an appeal to the Su-
preme Court.
