woman's condition, the man rushed to
the office OF r. Emery Peck, who hur-
ried TO the scene, only 70 find the

DRIVEN INSANE BY
AN EXPLOSION
Young Married Woman of
Berkeley Becomes Maniac
as the Result of Shock
Is SENT TO AN ASYLUM

OAKLAND, Jan. 2S.-As the result of
the nervous shock that she received at
the time of the explosion at the vigorit
Powder Works on January 10, Mrs
Dena A. Hadlen, the pretty young wife
of Fred Hadlen of 1881 Tenth street,
West Berkeley, was declared insane to-
day by Drs. Gillihan and Shuey and
was committed to the Stockton Asylum
by Judge Waste.
The Vigorit Powder Works are at
Point Isabel. which is comparatively
close to West Berkeley and the force
OF the explosion was felt strongly in
the latter place
1t was brought out by the testimony
at the examination today that Mrs
Hadlen showed signs of mental distress
Immediately after the explosion. She
said that she was sure an old sweet
heart of hers had been blown up. While
one man, E. K. Smith, was killed, Mrs.
Hadlen was not acquainted with him.
Mrs. Hadlen mas been going from
bad to worse, as far as her mental con-
dition was concerned, since January
10, and it took four men to convey her
to court today, so violent was her
conduct and such unexpected strength
did she manifest. She is only 23 years
of age.

POURS HOT SHOT
INTO PROFESSOR

BERKELEY. jan 2S-Professor A
c. Miller's action in dismissing an i'm
portant class in economics at the uni
versity recently because three students
were tardy and his subsequently ex-
pelling the offenders from the course
is not approved of by Ray Gabbert,
editor of the Californian. Gabbert is
also student in the college of com
merce and writes as follows on the
episode:
lecture in one of the regular university
courses was not given Friday morning because
three OF the students came late and one OF them
slammed the door of the lecture room. Some
thing over one hundred students were deprived
OF the pleasure OF listening to the economics
lecture because three tardy.
Three out Of 100 is not such a bad
percentage. We venture to say that the In
Eructor In question has been as late as the
Offenders of Friday more than three out OF
hundred times. We doubt, however, whether
these tardinesses caused much displeasure on
the part Of the students the three OF Friday
did to the instructor.

NEW REGISTER FOR
FIRE ALARMS

OAKLAND, Jan. 2S.-John L. Du-
Frame. superintendent Of the mechan-
ical department of the Oakland Fire
Alarm and Police Telegraph, has just
perfected and patented tape-punching
register for the recording of fire alarms
which, because of it's simplicity and
the fact that it is entirely automatic in
it's action, is entirely distinct from any
thing of it's kind now in use. First
among the merits of the DuFrane reg
lister in the fact that 1t is operated en-
tirely through electrical energy, re-
quiring no winding and practically no
attention after 1t has been once con-
nected.
Second IN Importance is the fact that
the register can be adapted easily to
the use of stock tickers and messenger
call receivers. Heretofore these in
struments have been entirely different
from the apparatus used in the record
ing Of fire alarms, although In all of
them the energy which feeds the tape
through the machine is furnished by
clockwork, operated by powerful
spring, which must be kept wound up.
For several years DuFrane has been
working to perfect register that
would operate automatically and be in
dependent of any attention in the way
of the winding of a spring to feed the
tape. His success is proven by the
fact that in the granting of letters
patent on his register every claim
made for the instrument has been
granted by the United States Patent
Office.
Not the least important point of .su-
periority of the DuFrane register over
similar instruments is the fact that it
can be manufactured at about one
fourth the cost of the registers now on
the market. Because of its simplicity
and the small number of parts of the
machine the cost of manufacture is far
less than that of other more compli-
Gated instruments.

EXPERIMENT WITH
POISON SPRAYS

BERKELEY, Jan 2S.-Important ex-
periments designed to prove how much
poison in the form of a spray is neces-
sary to kill insect pests and how much
poison can be put into the spray with
out injuring the vegetation on which
the pests feed have been commenced by
Professor c. w. Woodwork, head of
the department of entomology of the
State University. The results are ex-
pected to be of great value to orchard
lists throughout the State. All classes
Of pests will be included as subjects
of the savant's experiments. A corps
of clever assistants will engage in the
work with DR.. Woodworth.
Expensive materials, to be used in

UNABLE To
BRING HARMONY

BERKELEY. Jan. 2s.-Rev r. p
Shepherds resignation as pastor of the
First Christian Church has been ac-
cepted by the board of trustees of that
society and a new minister will now be
sought.
DIR. Shepherd rendered his resignation
a month ago, but it was not acted upon
till last night. Peacemakers in the
church had promised DR.. Shepherd to
use their offices to bring about har-
mony after the minister had declared
his intention TO give up the pulpit and
so the resignation was laid on the table
until the peaceloving folk could exert
themselves
The peacemakers failed. There had
been objections to the pastors plain
way of preaching.
1t is understood that Dean Van Kirk
Of the Berkeley Bible Seminary, a pillar
of the church, was among those who
did not fancy DR.. Shepherds ministra-
tions The differences between the fac
tions which supported and those which
opposed Dr. Shepherd were apparently
not to be reconciled, and as the minister
declined to serve a congregation that
could not give him united support the
acceptance of the resignation was in
evitable
1t is said the congregation will ex-
tend call to Rev.. T. A. Boyer, pastor
OF large Christian church in Oakland.
