BRAND NEW STORM
SAYS NJ 'AD|E

lighted that yesterdays storm was a
brand-new one and that his theory that
the storm of Monday would move east
ward had been verified. The old storm
is now over Arizona" said McAdie yes
terday, "and today's production is
new one-a southeaster. F1e predic-
ton that the temperature would rise
has also been verified and the ther-
mometer shows that 1t is from four to
six degrees warmer than it was Tues
day."
Early yesterday morning the vari-
Gus scientific appliances under McAdie's $
supervision told of the approaching
storm. He caused warning signals to
be raised on the Merchants Exchange
and notified shipping to tie up His
prediction that southeaster of at least
thirty miles velocity was on the way
was soon, verified, and, borne by the
gale. the cold seemed greater than ever.
The thermometer, however, showed
that this was not fact.
1t is the opinion of McAdie that ram
will fall again today. He said he could
give no idea as to how long the storm
would last. You never can tell wnat
the next hour will bring" he saia.

WOMEN SHREK As
LOG TEARS BOAT

With mighty crash that threw sew
eral hundred passengers into wild
panic, a great log. picked up by the
paddlewheel. burst through the upper
deck Of the ferryboat Newark yester-
day. tearing a gaping hole between
seats filled with screaming women
and terrorized men. The accident.
without precedent in the annals of the
local ferry service. occurred just
after the Newark had emerged from
the Oakland slip on the 4:30 o'clock
trip. Within twenty feet Of the New
ark was the big ferry steamer Pied
mont on her way into the slip. and the
reckless conduct Of the captains of the
two vessels in permitting them to get
so close 10 each other added to the
fright Of the passengers, who believed
the boats had collided in the gale.
Farthest from the minds of the gay
race track crowd that boarded the
Newark were thoughts Of impending
disaster True, the southeaster had
begun to whip the bay into whitecaps,
but the passengers gave this little
thought and crowded into the cabins
and outer inclosed portion of the boat
to keep warm. The Newark gained
good headway after leaving the slip.
the jingle Of bells in the engine room
told Of a clear way ahead, and every
body settled down for the trip across.
Suddenly the boat struck a great log
bow on. md as she careened from the
impact the passengers looked out and
there was the Piedmont. apparently
in the act Of ramming the boat they
rode. but, quicker than thought, the
paddlewheel had reached the log sent
aside by the Newarks bow, picked it
up and hurled il through the deck
among the passengers.
The Piedmont's smashed u.s." yelled
a passenger. and pandemonium reigned
Men. women and children rushed across
the boat and she careened under the
unequally distributed weight. A quick
survey OF the situation by some of the
cooler passengers showed that the
Piedmont was clear and with encour-
aging shouts they calmed the panic
stricken. The instant the crash came
the engines of the Newark were shut
down. The engineers entered the pad
dlebox, removed the obstructions, and
the boat proceeded on her way
When off Goat Island the engines
OF the Newark were slowed down to
permit the Encinal. lying out await
ing a berth. to drift past. Convinced
that this meant additional disaster.
the Newark's passengers again showed
signs of panic, but on being assured
that all was right they sat down again.
They had q case Of nerves all the way
across and it was with the elation
that comes to survivors Of a ship
wreck that they walked. or, rather.
scrambled up the apron after the New
ark had been tied safely TO the San

SANITY Of DABNER
BEING TESTED

Lonis Dabner, the partner of Siemsen
in the gaspipe murders, was examined
last night at the detention ward of
the Central Emergency Hospital by a
lunacy board appointed for the purpose
by Judge Carroll Cook. His attor-.
neys had intimated their intention of
offering proof on Friday to the effect
that Dabner had suffered from a gun
shot wound some years ago and that
the bullet remained lodged in his head.
This evidence will be given for the pur-
pose of establishing his insanity in an
attempt to escape the penalty for his
crimes.
Doctors D. D. Lustig, c. c. Wadsworth,
and F. w. Hatch of the State Insanity
Commission were appointed and con-
Quoted their examination of Dabner last
night In a room in the detention ward
to which the prisoner had been brought
for the purpose. For some reason the
doctors maintained an air of deep mys-
terry and excluded the newspaper repre-
senatives from their discussion, con-
trary to the general custom. DR. Lus-
tig said in explanation that 1T had
been the express order of Judge Cook
that no information should be impaired
to the public.
'I gave no such order" said the
Judge later in the evening In view
of the proof that was to be offered
tending to establish Dabner's sanity, I
thought it best to have an examina-
tion made by a board of disinterested
physicians, who were sent neither by
the District Attorney nor in the inter
est of the defendant, and for this rea-
son 1 appointed this commission, which
will give its testimony in open court
on Friday"
DR.. Wadsworth said that Dabner had
talked freely with them. but intimated
that he had shown shrewdness in ap-
pretending the nature of the examina-
tion and its possible result
I'VE have not finished our work" he
said, land at the present time have
come to no conclusion. 1t is not pos
sible to Judge one mans acts by what
another would do under like 'cireum-
stances. Each case has to be consfd-
cred with the purpose of discovering if
the subject is acting in what is his
normal manner"

DINNERS AND THE
TRACK BLAMED

Domestic unhappiness, dinners at Bo-
hemian restaurants and the activities
of private detectives were features of
large mass of testimony introduced
yesterday in Judge Seawelrs court in
a suit for maintenance brought by Mrs.
Addie Z. Thompson against her aged
husband, James Thompson. The latter
is contesting her effort to secure a fixed
allowance for her support and accuses
her of unfaithfulness and of taking too
much interest in other and younger
men.

wife of DR.. @. A. Whitney, and has
two daughters. She was married to
Thompson at San Rafael on April 81
1902. but for two years after their mar
riage they did not make their home
together although they visited each
other often. Mrs. Thompson says that
her husband owns property in this
city which is valued at approximately
$4,000 and has about $4,000 in cash and
a large monthly income. Thompson
claims that the property is worth not
more than $4,000, and that his present
available cash consists of $35. He
makes his home at Redlands.
Mrs. Thompson testified that Thomp-
son had assaulted her on various occa-
her shadowed by private detectives and
had finally forced her to leave home
on August 9. 1905. Thompson denies
all these things and says that the
separation was of Mrs. Thompson's
own free Will He Introduced testi-
mony to show that she had visited the
races with her daughter. met other
men at different places and partaken
freely of dinners at Italian and French
restaurants. He says. also that his
wife never made his bed while they
were living together. and did not at
tend properly to her household duties.
The case Will be continued this morn
ing.

case brought by Frederick f. Lyden to
secure an accounting under a contract
of special partnership. Judge Heb

with interest from January II, 1905.
Lyden entered into a partnership con-
tract with the Spohn- Patrick Company,
of which the John II. Spohn Company is
the successor. in 1903, for the purpose
of selling salmon. In January, 1904
the Spohn- Patrick Compan~ declared
the contract at an end on the ground
that it had lost heavily through it.
Lyden asserted that the business had
peen prontaDle ana that ne could not
secure an accounting from the firm, and
brought suit against it. Later the
business of the company was trans
ferred TO q newly Incorporated one
under the name of the John H. Spohn
Company. Lyden alleged that this had
been done to prevent him recovering.
and brought second suit against that
company. Both cases were included in
the decision given yesterday by Judge
Hebbard. who has had them under con-
sideration for some time.
In concluding his opinion. Judge Heb
bard declared that the attempt of the
defendants to end the partnership in
January, 1904, was void. and that the
attempted sale and transfer from the
defendants in one case to the defend
ants in the second case was fraudu-
lent and void as against the interests of
the plaintiff.

WANTS CALIFORNIA STONE
FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Conversational Delegation to Induce
Government to Use Local buio-
ing Material In This State.

The California Congressional dele
CATION is being urged to take steps 10
have the United States Government use
California building materials In all
California buildings and all OF the
members have signifed their willing
ness to promote this laudable move
ment. When the agitation began some
weeks ago the California Promotion
Committee took up the matter with the
delegation and has received replies
from nearly all the members of the
delegation According to Senator Per-
kins the entire blame for the use of
material from other States does not
rest with the Government. but with
the men in California who have the
materials to sell. Senator Perkins
writes:
and the contractors select materials or rather
the places where a given class OF materials are
to be s % apd IF Gsforpa
ouarrymen do not bid low enough. naturally the
material will be purchased of producers in other
States The matter therefore. seems to be en-
tireIy in the hands of California producers
Senator Flint puts another light on
the subjest in his letter, and said that
all material used in Government build
ings should stand a prescribed test. He
suggested that all persons having sand
stone, granite or marble accessible for
building purposes SeHu odinpicS " liic

Department, Washington. ID. c., to be

would do everything in his power to
bring about the use of California ma
terial.
The other members of the delegation
who have written expressed themselves
in a similar manner. and all promised
TO do what they could to induce the
Government to use California material
in California buildings.
