Chided by Her Foster Father
She Tries to End
~ Her Isi3A

Wanda Powers. beautiful girl 90
years old who came to San Francisco
from Pittsburg Thursday with her fos-
ter father. George w. Powers, well
known businessman of the eastern city,
attempted to kill herself last night at
the Casa Iona apartments at Fell and
Fillmore streets after she had been
chided
She drank the contents of small
bottle of carbolic acid, and although
every attempt was made at the central
emergency hospital to save her life
the physicians hold out little hope for
her recovery.
The young woman graduated only
recently from a college for women in
Pennsylvania and was visiting San
Francisco for the first time.
George Powers is a member of the
publishing firm of Lamb & Powers of
Pittsburg. He had occasion to visit San
Francisco on business and brought his
adopted daughter on the trip He said
last night that Miss Powers had ex-

and he had forbidden her to do So
fearing that she would come to harm
in the burned district He added that
his daughter was headstrong. that she
had resented his action and before he
was aware of her purpose she had
drunk the deadly acid
The girl was, a daughter Of Mrs. w.
Schroeder of Chicago. Powers and his
wife adopted her three years ago. S He
said they had been very fond of her
and desired to give her every advan-
tage.
1t was after the two reached san
Francisco that the trouble occurred
according to Powers. He said that he
was unaware that the girl had pur-
chased the acid until she had raised ths
vial to her lips in their apartments
last night.

or a big decrease IN their earn
ings.
AS a result Of the two meetings
held yesterday in the state board
of trade lecture rooms the repre-
sentatives of the fruit growers
have come to the general con-
clusion that there is nothing else
for them to do now but to go
ahead and cure with sulphur and
take their chances of disposing Of
their product. To cure their fruit
according to the letter of the new
ruling, they say, means the loss
of the fruit.
They fought the matter out
inch by inch yesterday. They
brought forward masses OF evi-
dence, specimens, samples and
data, laying before the eyes of the
secretary of agriculture rotting
fruits which had been cured ac-
cording to the pure food law, and
comparing them with specimens
of fruits cured in violation Of the
law and which appeared in ex-
cellent condition. But it was all
to no purpose as far as this years

dication of the cause Of un-

Michael Casey and ]. w.
Sweeney, business agent for

Sweeney said yesterday
that he was in politics, not
because he believed political
activities the proper func-
tions of a labor leader, bat
because the international
leaders of union labor de-
manded that union labor in
San Francisco should cleanse
itself of the stains put upon
it by professional politicians
masquerading as labor men.
Sweeney, who has been
identified with union labor
as leader and organizer for
more than a quarter of a
century, has all the typical
labor leaders aversion to the
published interview. That
he talked to me for publication was
due to the publication of an interview

SQUIRREL Nests in Boston Common.


A squirrels nest high UP in an elm
tree on Boston Common is one OF the
sights of the midcity park that has
to be seen to be believed. For days,
last week and the week before, the
squirrels worked as patiently and as
industriously as they could at tnis
nest while yielding every now and
then to temptation in the form OF an
extended human hand with a nut In
it. And many human beings and nun
dreds of birds watched its building.
1t was a curious thing to all the spec
tators, though probably the same
thing has been done before. Scraps
of paper and twigs were the building
materials used, while men and women
stood below, in the mall, and watch
ed and admired the architects and
builders, the birds, English spar
rows, sat all about in tree tops ana
chartered impudently enough, being
vexed at seeing four-footed things put
ting into execution the very ideas IN
home-making that the birds have a
clear title to, This nest building In
the open by squirrels is one OF the
most interesting moves made by the
animals since the common was stock
ed with them.-Boston Transcript

AN EASY WAY TO GET RID OF
STIIMPS

A method of getting rid of stumps
which has been highly accommodates,
and which to be effective should be
done now, Is as follows:
Bore a hole one Of two inches In
diameter and about eighteen inches
deep into the center of the stump.
Then put into this hole one or two
ounces of saltpeter. Fill the hole with
water and plug it up. In the spring
take out the plug, pour in about one
half gallon of kerosene oil and light
it. The stump will smolder away 70
