"PAT," PET SPANIEL, HERO
OF WATERMAN FAMILY.
Saves Little Vida From DeatE
in Waters of Sonoma County
Creek.

BERKELEY, July 5.--A telegram
received today by J. d. Waterman, a
wealthy operator, informed him of the
extraordinary rescue from death by
drowning of his twelve-year-oI old
daughter Wilda, in which the Water
mans pet water spaniel Pat is the
hero. The girl was pulled by the
spaniel from the bottom of a creek
into which she had fallen. after sew
eral women had tried in vain to rescue
her. After she had been dragged to
shore by the spaniel 1t took two hours
work to restore the girl to conscious
ness
The Waterman family are spending
the summer near Burkes sanitarium in
Sonoma County. Vida was wading
in the creek yesterday afternoon with
some companions, when suddenly she
stepped into a deep pool. The screams
of her companions brought Mrs. ]. P.
Griffin and Mrs. William Brown, guests
of the sanitarium, to the rescue. Both
OF them waded into water up to their
necks, but could not reach the drown
ing girl.
Then Pat" who had heard the noise,
came to the rescue. The clever spaniel
leaped into the pool. grasped the
child's clothing in his teeth and
brought the limp form to the bank of
the creek. DR.. Burke and DR.. Jobe
were summoned from the sanitarium.
BY desperate work the child was finally
brought back to life.

DENIES motherhood
OF BOY She REARED
Mrs. Minnie Hennessey Relates
Strange Tale Of Birth of
Willis Miller.

OAKLAND, July 5.-An interesting
study in heredity and environment
came up in court this morning at the
hearing of Willis Miller, who is being
examined for possible commitment to
the reformatory.
Young Miller believed until this
morning that he was the son of Mrs.
Minnie Hennessey, but today that wo-
man denied her motherhood. She told
in court how she came into possession
of the lad. The boy seemed unaffected
by the news.
Mrs. Alma Miller Is alleged to be
the boys mother. Shortly before he
was born she went to Mrs. Hennessy,
then Miss Minnie Drossell. and asked
that the Drossell family take care of
her unborn child.
IF you don't adopt my child I'll
leave it on your doorstep and go away
where you cant find me- Mrs Hen
messy says were the words of the pro-
spective mother to the women of the
Drossell family. by whom she was en-
ployed. The Drossells laughed at the
threats, but four days after the child
was born they found 1t shivering on
their doorstep. The mother was gone.
Mrs. Alma Miller, the mother, is
still missing. Her child was tenderly
reared by Mrs. Hennessey until he be-
came so vicious that his benefactress
was forced to put him in the Receiving
Hospital pending the appointing of
her as his legal guardian.

WARSHIPs TO sIANEUvER
WITHOUT USE OF SIGNALS
Naval Board Is Preparing n Difficult
Programme for the North
Atlantic Fleet.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Plans for
extensive maneuvers of the North At
lantic fleet are being matured by the
General Naval Board in conjunction
with Rear Admiral Evans. commanding
the fleet.
Admiral Dewey, president of the
beard, has sent to Admiral Evans a copy
of the programme OF the maneuvers Of
the French fleet in the Mediterranean
These maneuvers are under command
of Vice Admiral Fournier. who not long
ago visited the United States and was
a guest of some of our naval officers Be
fore autumn Admiral Evans will have a
feet OF sixteen battleships. which will be
the largest fleet of effective vessels ever
assembled at one time by the United
States.
A new feature is to- be introduced
in the maneuvers this summer and the
ships are to practice evolutfons without
signals in order to meet emergency in
battle, when, owing to smoke or when
signal apparatus has been shot away.
signals cannot longer. be given. While
1t is regarded as somewhat hazardous
to maneuver the big battleships with
out signals, it is thought necessary to
have the officers familiar with this duty
in case they are engaged in actual war
fare at some time in the future and a
situation should arise necessitatinz the
abandonment Of signals.

IMPURE FOODS
CAUSE SICKNESS
.SurgeonG GeneralC Crowley
Is in Favor of Strict
Laws of Inspection
Harmful Edibles Palmed
Off on the Public in
It's Hour of Distress

OAKLAND, July 5.--Dr. d. d. Crow
ley, surgeon general Of the National
Guard OF California, expresses the
opinion that a vigorous and thorough
inspection of food products on sale in
this city, San Francisco and other near
by localities should be instituted by the
State Board of Health
To impure food DIR. Crowley attributes
in large measure the many cases of in
testinal trouble which are prevalent In
Oakland. They are in such number as
to give rise to speculation as to what
appears to be an epidemic of this char
acter of illness. Surgeon General Crow
ley says:
"A very heavy demand for food sup
plies has caused an unloading on the
consumers of stuff which under normal
conditions could not be given away.
The public around the bay cities has
been compelled to use foods that are
tainted, impure and disease breeding.
This is the condition In San Francisco
and 1t is the situation in Oakland. In
San Francisco it may be that the i'm
pure water has had something to do
with the trouble, and that many of the
refugees in this city were poisoned by
water before they came here. But there
are hundreds Of cases in this city where
serious intestinal disorder exists where
the patients are not refugees
'In nearby cities the same epidemic
conditions exist, and to me they mean
that the food is at the bottom Of it. In
the effort to supply the great demand
all sorts Of stuff is being passed out
and Illness of serious nature results"
4 One of the most prominent physicians
of Oakland,s who declined to permit
his name to be used, declared today
that he was attending more than fifty
cases himself of intestinal troubles de-
yelOped recently.

Seeks Educational
Union With Mexico
Dean MOOre'S Dream for
Reciprocal Lectures
May Be Realized Soon
SENIOR CHAVEZ AT BERKELEY
COmeSfOSummerSChOOI
as Representative Of
the Southern Republic

BERKELEY. July 5.-One of the
dreams of Dean Moore of the Sum
mer School is IN a fair way.to be real
ized. His dream is nothing less than
an educational alliance OF this coun-
try's colleges with those of Mexico. The
first step toward such an alliance,
which would be of the unofficial sort,
is the coming of Senior A. E. Chavez,
Sub-Secretary of Public Instruction
and Fine Arts in Mexico, to the Uni
versity Summer School He is giving
a course in Spanish upon Mexico, it's
history. institutions and progress. He
announces himself in complete sympa-
thy with Professor Ernest Moore's
idea of an interchange Of lecturers be-
tween Mexican and American univer-
stiles and an interchange of students.
In general. it is plan which will give
the educators and students of the two
/ countries a clear idea OF what each is
/ accomplishing In the field of educa-
tion.
In his capacity as a Mexican Govern
ment official, Senior Chavez is to do
what he can to erect this interchange
of university lecturers.
Professor Moore has long seen the
value of such an educational alliance
with Mexico, having written much
upon the subject. In an article for the
Western Journal of Education he says:
We ought to enter into closer edu-
cational relations with the people of
Mexico. We should know more of
their country and their work. and we
I should know the people who are doing
II. We should have courses on the
history and institutions of Mexico In
our universities. Mexican boys and
girls should come to our colleges and
universities, and American boys and
girls should go to her commercial, ag-
ricultural and engineering schools
Mexican professors should exchange
chairs with American professors and
American teachers should teach Eng
lish in the schools of Mexico while
Mexican teachers should be sent for
to teach Spanish in our high schools
and colleges.
