ASSAILANT ESCAPES

OAKLAND, March e.-Attacked on
the street by a strange man, Miss Alice
Smith, 65l Myrtle street, was knocked
down by brutal blow in the face last
night. and. as she struggled 10 her feet,
her assaiIant struck her in the face
nearby building. The screams Of the
young woman aroused the neighbor-
hood and a number of men ran to assist
her, but before they reached the place
her assailant had escaped.
Miss Smith. who is employed at the
Liberty candy store, was on her way
home shortly after u o'clock this
morning when she was attacked. She
had left the Eighth-street car at Myrtle
street and was walking toward her
home, when the thug stepped out Of the
shadow behind her and felled her with
a savage blow from behind. which dazed
her.
Taken completely by surprise by the
unexpected attack the young woman
screamed for help. and her cries at
tracted the attention OF some men
working in a nearby bakery, who ran
to her assistance The man who had
attacked her struck her again as she
rose TO her feet. and then. as Miss Smith
thinks, made an attempt TO tear her
purse from her hand, but seeing the
approaching bakers gave up his at
tempt at robbery and ran up Myrtle
street disappearing in the darkness.
Miss Smith. hysterical from the ef-
fects OF her experience, was taken home
by one OF the men who had come to her
assistance.

GRAND JURY PROBING
HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT
Supervisor Rowe's Fight
Against Extravaganza
Taken Up

OAKLAND, March 6.-The Grand
Jury has begun probing the affairs of
the County Infirmary. H. w. Martin,
cashier and bookkeeper, and c. K.
Smith, druggist, were subjected to a
close questioning this afternoon. 1t is
thought that superintendent w. A.
Clark will at an early day also be given
an opportunity to tell what he knows
of the business methods OF the institu-
tion.
The investigation Is the result of the
charges of mismanagement and extrav-
agance repeatedly made by Supervisor
II. D. Rowe One of the allegations or
Rowe is that large quantities of sup
plies are purchased without advertising 6
for bids. He also charges that extrava-
CANT prices are frequently paid.
Rowe's accusations are leveled at the
methods employed by his confreres in
the Board Of Supervisors as much IL not
more than at the institutions employees.
He has persisted for weeks in dragging
out of the records of the board evidence
which he asserts is proof of a lax
administration

the inspiration to Charles H. Tolliver,

solve the problem of aerial fight. He

he says. He believes that he has dis
posed of every question as to the dirig-
ible balloon.
Tolliver has constructed huge
double-ended conical framework of
aluminium. This carries a great space
for gas, bag and engines and gearing
for operating series of propellers or
fans distributed at the ends and sides OF
the siik-covered bag. The mechanism
is all inclosed inside the bag. In the
center is an engine-room, reached from
other engine-rooms by galleries ex-
tending to each end of the machine.~
The inventor says that these engines
will drive the fans and thus give the
power to raise the ship into space. BY
controlling the fans he purposes to
drive his big bag as the spirit moves
him, bidding defiance to wind and
weather.
