NORTH MAIN STREET RUNAWAY.
Girl Dashed Against Police Signal
 Box-Boy Uninjured.

A runaway took place on North square shortly after noon to-day that may result in fatal consequences. But for the fortunate presence of Drs Lal- ly, Swenson and Keeley it is believed that little Charlotte Johns would have died A light express wagon said to be the property of Peter Kel- ly, a liveryman, was standing out the door of Rudolph Johns house. 553 North Main street, about 1:30 o'clock when Charlotte. aged about IS, and her little brothers, Alfred and Henry. climbed into the outfit. There were no blinkers on the horse. leaving the impression that 1t must have been feeding at the time. Sud- denly the horse bolted down North Main street. Those who saw 1t com ing thought 1t would put the water ing trough on North square out of business. Instead 1t careened toward Morgan Bros cigar and news store and went crash against a pole. The little girl was thrown with awful force against the police signal box and her brother Henry took advant- age of the momentary stoppage to slip out of the wagon. The little girl fell to the street and away the horse dashed again down North Main street. Near Upham's store the other brother Alfred threw himself from the wagon and that was the last seen of the flying horse In that end of the town.
 Drs Lally and Keeley were talking near Morgan's store and the collision with the pole had taken place before they were actually aware of 1t and the little girl had scarcely touched the ground. stunned and bleeding terribly from wounds in the head be- fore the doctors had her in their arms and on the operating table of Dr Swenson's office. Dr Swenson and Dr Lally then went to work on her and had word sent for the ambulance. Having washed the blood away they saw that the child's skull was badly fractured. her forehead crushed in and her face all cuts. She was brave little patient nevertheless and she stood the physicians treatment and the removal from the operating table to the ambulance without a murmur.
 The doctors believe the girl was internally as we'll as externally in- jured and that the chances of her recovery are not encouraging.

only $1,000 of his estate valued at
$4,000, 600, to charity.
me will, made pubic by the family
attorney this evening, is strange in
many respects, particularly a clause
providing against the possibility of>any
unknown widow making a claim. 1t
sets forth that under the present Cali-
iornla laws no estate is secure against
attacks OF persons claiming to be wife
or child of decedent, and to guard
against such claims declares that no
person on earth has accidentally or In
advertently been omitted from the
will.
To the Hebrew Benevolent Associ-
alton Of this city is left $500, Kaspare
Kohn Hospital $3.50, and Catholic Or
phan Asylum $3.50. The widow, Mrs
LA IL Hellman, receives one-half of
the estate, the other half to be divided
between his children, Mrs. Frida He'll

widow and two sons peing appointed

power to sell any and all properties of

AVOIDS ARREST BY
ENDING LIFE.

Rather than submit to arrest at the
hands of a police officer who called last
night at his home with a warrant to
take him into custody Edward Melzer,
2S011 15 Mission street, ran from the rear
door of the house, and while the officer
knocked at the front door with his
club. swallowed the contents of a two
ounce bottle of carbolic acid. He died
few minutes later in the ambulance
which was hurrying him to the City
and County Hospital.
When Police Officer f. A. Smith of
the Mission station, who was sent to
serve the warrant, arrived at Melzers s
house at IL O'clock last night, the latter
was sitting in the front room with
his wife. Realizing the cause of the
visit, and unwilling to stand trial aSsec-
ond time on charge on which he was
once before arrested, tried and acquit-
ted, he jumped from his chair and drew
from his pocket the vial of carbolic
acid.
1T won't be arrested again! I'll end
1T all now!" he cried and dashed wild
ly from the room and into the back
yard. where he drank the poison and
fell in agony to the ground.
BY the time officer Smith succeeded
in gaining entrance to the house and
reaching the place where the man was
lying the latter was in commissions. The
officer called the ambulance and made
every effort to save the life of the man
he had expected to take prisoner, but
before the hospital was reached death
occurred.
Melzer was arrested on October 2 on
charges brought against him by Alzina
Wichert, his young step-daughter, who
lives in the house where he resided, and
who made sensational accusations
against him. He was tried and
acquitted in Judge Cabaniss' di-
vision of the Police Court At the
time of the arres he had $500 and a
considerable quantity of valuable jew
elry on his person, and was well
dressed. Yesterday the step daughter
swore to a complaint similar to the
first one. and it was the warrant issued
on this complaint that was to have been
served tonight.

BELL ADDRESSES
MANY MEETINGS.

SANTA ROSA. Oct 23-Former Con-
gresham Theodore A. Bell of Napa,
who is touring the State as Democratic
nominee for Governor, will spend the
day in Sonoma County tomorrow He
spoke tonight at Ukiah and will. leave
that city at o'clock in the morning
for hurried tour of this county. He
will be accompanied by Thomas o.
Toland. the Democratic nominee for
Lieutenant Governor. and w. A. Beard
Democratic nominee for Congress from
this, the second Congressional Dis
trict.
The party will appear first at Clover
dale, where they will speak at 10
o'clock, and then go to Geyserville in
an automobile to speak at noon, but
will visit the Italian-Swiss colony at
Asti en- route, and reach Healdsburg
for an address at l o'clock From
Healdsburg the party will take the
afternoon train for Petaluma and spend
several hours there before speaking at
Z o'clock and then taking a special
train over the electric road for Santa
Rosa, where they are to attend a
meeting at 8 o'clock.
From present indications Bell will be
given one of the biggest receptions ever
rendered a citizen of this county when
he returns to Napa a week from Mon
day evening to deliver his final address
before closing his campaign.

Heney and Burns Prepared to Go
Before the Grand Jury Today.

It. He is said to have the confessions
Of several policemen.
The graft on saloons and disreputable
places was carried on in appalling
fashion and it is said that Ruef is
heavily involved in many of these
crimes. A number of patrolmen have
also confessed, but Ruef has been i'm
plicated only circumstantiaIly.
Ruef has long made it a practice to
force himself into private enterprises
by means of his influence with the
Board of Public Works, from which it
was necessary to obtain permits. His
activity in gaining interests in the To-
cent show houses has been notable in
this particular. Burns has run down
every such instance of graft and has
several cases available for prosecu-
ton.
BURNS ABILITY MARVELLOUS.
The ability OF Detective Burns as
shown in the manner in which he has
conducted his Investigations in this
city are almost marvellous. Where the
various local grand juries have met
with complete failure, his every effort
has been crowned with success. His
keenness in obtaining information is
remarkable, but more remarkable still
is his ability to make use of it. Where
several persons are involved he has in
variably obtained confessions from one
or more Of them.
The result is that Burns and Heney
have an office full of evidence and some
very important confessions, and the
revelations they will make will wrench
the body politio of San Francisco to it's
very foundations.

PANDEMONIUM RIFE

LONDON, Oct. 23-Unusual excite
ment in connection with the reopenfn
of Parliament today was caused py the
presence of about one hundred women
suffragists, many of whom, despite the
protests of the police manageo 70 nno
House of Commons with the intention
of buttonholing the members In sup
port Of their movement.
number of the suffragists mounted
vacant chairs in the lobby and peg2n
to harangue the new members OF Far
lament present in that part or the
house. The police, after being rein
forced, made a strategic advance
against the invaders, taking the wo-
men sfngly and gradually e1ecteo tnem
one by one from the house.
The most militant of the women
struggled so desperately that two ofif-
GERS were required to remove them.
The hysterical shouting and screaming
brought crowds of the members from
the house, and the unwonted scene
created temporary excitement such as
seldom has been witnessed In and
about the house. During the height
of the tumuIt a small band of the
staunchest suffragists determined to
attempt to break into the house itself,
and as though by concerted action this
band suddenly charged toward the en-
trance Of the inner lobby. Some of
the women tried to climb over the bar
riers, and others attempted to crawl
under it. For several minutes the ut
most disorder prevailed and the police
had all they could do to eject the
stern, determined women without util-
izing the more vigorous means which
would have been employed in the case
of men.
The women resoluttly refused to
leave the house withou. being elected
by force, clung tenaciously to the stall
wart policemen. the ra lings or other
means of support, and offered strenu-
GUS resistance to expulsion, while
shouts, I'VE will have votes." and you
cowardly men dare not give us JUS
tice" resounded through the halls.
Finally the police we're forced to
carry out several of the women bodily,
and the struggling and shouting suf-
fragists were all ultimately deposited
in the palace yard. where for some time
they continued their vehement pro-
tests. A procession of House of Com
mons attendants followed the women,
bearing hats, cloaks and fragments of
millinery and fnery dropped in the
scuffie.
The reassembling of Parliament drew
large crowds to Westminster, despite
the fact that the opening of the ses-
sions was devoid of sumptuous cere-
mony in the appearance of royalty, as
this was merely a resumption of the
business of the preceding session.
The formal reopening of the House
of Commons occurred this afternoon,
an hour before the House of Lords,
thus giving the public an opportunity
to witness the assembling of both
bodies.
ambassador Reid was present.
