PISTOL BULLET

After shooting and seriously wound
ing Antoine Diorgurd, an unknown man
for whom the police are now searching
guarded a local lodging house until
noon yesterday to prevent any one
from leaving it and then made his es-
cape. On the inside Of the lodging
house was a terrified woman and two
men. one of the latter with a bullet
wound in his face
Diorgurd went to the Central Emer-
gency Hospital to have his wounds
dressed about noon yesterday and said
the shooting took place Tuesday even
ing.
According to the injured mans story,
he, together with a roommate, occu-
pied a room at the corner of Thirtieth
and Folsom streets, in lodging house
kept by a woman who has been recent
ly divorced from her husband. He did
not know her name. Early on Tues
day evening, according to Diorgurd
the divorced husband began kicking
on the door. On appearing at a side
door the roomer was shot.
While Diorgurd's wound is not con-
sidered dangerous, he was so long
without treatment that it may cause
his death by blood poisoning. The bullet
was from a .44-caliber weapon. 1t
struck him in the lower lip and rang
ing downward, came out in the fore
part of his neck.

ARE HONORED
By w. w. Campbell
Director of the Lick Observatory


MOUNT HAMILTON, Jan. Is.-I take
pleasure in announcing that the Paris
Academy Of Sciences has conferred the
Lalande prize upon Professor r. G.

Professor w. ]. Hussey. formerly OF
the Lick Observatory, now director Of
the University Of Michigan Observa-
tory. The prize is bestowed in recog-
milton of the work done by Messrs.
Aitken and Hussey on double stars at
Mount Hamilton. The prize usually
consists of a gold medal and a small
sum Of money. It has on several oc-
casiOns been divided between two
astronomers, as in the present case.
The work of Messrs. Aitken and Hus-
sey on double stars has been unusually
fruitful Dr. Aitken has discovered
more than 1900 new and difficult double
stars and Professor Hussey discovered
more than 1900 up to the time OF his
departure. Not only have these stars
been shown TO consist Of two or more
suns each, but the discoverers have
made a beginning in the study Of these
systems. They have also made exten-
sive studies OF many double stars that
are well known
Since the Lick Observatory began
work in 1888 the Paris Academy has
awarded the Lalande prize eight times
10 American astronomers. Four of
these awards have been made to
astronomers OF the Lick Observatory
in recognition OF their Investigations.
