PHYSICIANS CERTIFY To
VAN TAssELL's VERSION
Say There Is Proof That
He Was Struck on
the Head
WIFE'S STORY DENIED
Berkeley Medico Is Given,
Clean Character by
Associates
WIFE'S STORY DENIED

BERKELEY. June 14.-Dr. r H Van
Tassen has convinced four physicians
of the town that his disappearance on
May % was the result OF injuries he re-
ceived from an unknown person, who
struck him on the head. and they have
issued a statement to that effect. They
desire to Offset the impression. accord
ing to DR.. Simpson. that Van Tasseu
deserted his wife and child or remained
away from home Intentionally.
Appended to the physicians state
ment is an account by Van Tassen OF
his movements after May %. He tells
of meeting a stranger in a drug store
soon after cashing a check for $50. and
or being asked by him TO go to house
where physician was needed Van
Tassen says that he went with tho
stranger. and that in a few minutes
he found himself stunned. bleeding. al
most insensible- Then his trip to Port
land began. He does not describe the
stranger.
This story of Van Tassen's does not
tally with his wife's account OF the at
fair given out the day after Van Tas-
sell disappeared. She told OF Van Tas-
sells coming home. packing his grip.
kissing her goodby and of his inform
ing her that he had a case down the
street that might detain him all night.
Van Tassen had not told her that he
bad drawn out all OF their little saw
ings. about $50. from the bank that
afternoon.
The physicians who examined Van
Tassen issued the following statement
thiSSafternoOn:
We. the undersigned physicians. after care

vesugatfng the circumstances Of his strange
disappearance. find that he had received a blow
BY blunt instrument on the left side OF his
mead This injury well marked when seen
by Dr. Mckenzie or Portland.
As a result OF this injury he dazed for
several days From this dazed condition he
gradually recovered his full mental faculties m

During his treatment IN ST. vincent's hospl-
tai BY DR.. X. A. 3. Mckenzie his recovery was
gradual and complete. and he is now in posses
sion OF bis full mental faculties and in cu-
opinion. will never suffer any after effects from
the blow. DR.. Van Tassells case is frequently
experienced by those who receive severe concus-
sions.
The hold-up theory is strengthened BY the
fact that DR.. Van Tasseli had secreted his
watch and purse IN his inside vest pocket upon
approaching tie foot OF Ashby A physi-
clans hypocermic IN leather resembling

his wallet and check book were missing. An
other fact is that although thorough search

WOMAN DEMANDS ARREST
OF OAKLAND COUNCILMEN
Members Refuse to Grant
Her a License to
Run Saloon

OAKLAND. June 14.-Determined to
punish the members of the license
committee of the city council for their
refusal to grant her a license to con-
duct a saloon in Park street. between
Ford street and the tidal canal, Mrs.
May A. McNamee demanded today that
Acting Chief of Police Petersen place
the members OF the committee
under arrest. The license commit
tee recommended last night that
the application of Mrs. McNamee
be denied on the protest of Mrs.
NJ. Eberling and a number of other
residents of the neighborhood.
Mrs. McNamee alleged that the pro-
test had been circulated against her
through spite and she visited the ONCE
of the chief of police this morning de-
manding that the council be compelled
to grant her license or that the mem
bers OF the legislative body be ar
rested When she was informed that
the matter of saloon licenses was not
under the control of the police depart
ment, Mrs. McNamee declared that a
police force which could not compel a
city council to grant a saloon license
was of little use,, and left the police
Office in disgust.
