LA MAR MAY BE SAVED BY
DETECTIVES TESTIMONY
Graham Says That Strike
Breakers Gun Had Not
Been Discharged
INQUEST OVER WALSH
Jury Recommends Prosecu-
ton, but Not for
Murder
INQUEST OVER WALSH

The inquests over the remains of
James Walsh and John Buchanan, the
men who were shot during the car
riots on May Z, were held by Coroner
Walsh before g. jury yesterday after
noon. In the case OF Walsh, the jury
brought IN a verdict recommending
that Jesse La Mar, the strike breaker
accused OF the killing, be held for trial
In the criminal courts, but refusing to
charge him with murder. The jury
reached the conclusion that Buchanan
came to his death las the result of a
gun shot wound inflicted by person
or persons unknown"
E. S. Ford. an. eyewitness to to the
shooting OF Walsh, and Detective George
Graham were the principal witnesses.
Ford swore that he was standing near
the corner of Turk and Jones streets
when the tragedy occurred and that
after several shots had been fred from
the rear platform of the last car some
one threw brick at the car and La
Mar deliberately fired once at Walsh.
The victim fell dead.
The testimony of Graham failed to
substantiate the fact that La Mar fired
the shot. He said that he was in the
Office of Chief Dinan with several other
detectives When the hring began and
that the chief, Captain Colby and
others hastened to the scene.
La Mar was arrested when he arrived
at the Turk and Fillmore barn, a by
stander named M. c. Irving having
pointed out the strike breaker, whose
face and head were badly cut from
flying glass and stones. Graham said
that La Mar wore a .3S caliber re-
volver strapped outside his coat and that
when the weapon was examined 1T con-
tanned six cartridges. Upon cross ex-
animation Graham declared that he
would not swear that the revolver had
been discharged. To the best of his
knowledge, he said, it had not been.
When the jury. in charge of Fore
man Frank T. Bowers, heard Graham's
testimony, it refused to charge La Mar
with the murder of Walsh, but recon-
mended that "he be held for trial in
the criminal courts"
There were no eyewitnesses to the
killing of Buchanan, who was sup
posedly shot from inside the Turk and
Fillmore streets barn by strike breakers
The jury could therefore not fix re-
sponsibility for the fatality.

DAVIS F|RETRAP WILL
Be FORCED TO CLOSE
Tax Collector Nichols Will
Not Renew License
for Boodler

Supervisor Sam Davis firetrap the
ater will be without a license after
June 80 and the boodling theatrical
proprietor will fall into the hands of
the police IL he persists, after that
date. in continuing his wanton disre-
gard for the lives of the persons whom
he entices to his playhouse in McAllis-
ter street. Tax Collector Nichols re-
fused to renew the license yesterday on
the ground that the board of public
works had not issued permit showing
that the theater was built according to
the ordinance governing the con-
struction of places of public resort.
The license under which the theater
is being illegally maintained expires
June 80, but Davis, getting nervous
about it's renewal. applied early with
his tax money by which he hoped to
placate the city. Tax Collector Mich
OILS, however, says Davis must close
the fretrap. He refuses to stand
sponsor for the $11,500 supervisor,
whose greed does not hesitate at
placing hundreds of lives in Jeopardy
nightly for the sake Of increasing q
purse already made fat by graft.
II shall never consent to the issuance
of a license for the Davis theater,"
said Nichols. After June 80 it will be
up to the board Of public works and
the police department to keep the place
closed"

vious session.. granting moral and
financial aid to the linemen. take fur
ther action to indorse the position

CAPITALISTS DAUGHTER
| PUTS END TO HER LIFE
Miss Lena Chase of Berkeley
Sends Bullet Into
Her Heart
DUE TO ILL HEALTH
Fails at First Attempt, but
Second Shot Proves
Fatal

BERKELEY, June 7.-Brooding over
the death of a brother and respondent
because of her own i'll health. Lena
Chase, a beautiful girl % years old, the
daughter of F. d. Chase, a capitalist,
committed suicide this afternoon at her
home, 1901 Bonita avenue. by shooting
herself in the~heart with a revolver.
The weapon was one that had be-
longed to her brother. Miss Chase and
her mother were alone in the house at
the time. Mrs. Chase rushed into a
hallway as her daughter staggered out
of the bedroom and. sank to the floor
with a cry, II guess I've done 1t now
goodby." Before physicians arrived
the girl was dead.
Only a few minutes before Miss Chase
shot herself, she had gone to her
brothers room and had picked up a
revolver, small weapon, that had been
left in the bureau drawer. Whether
purposely or by accident. Miss Chase
discharged the weapon. The bullet
plowed through a trunk. The shot
attracted Mrs. Chase, who rushed to
the room inquiring what was the trou-
BILE. The girl answered her mother
by saying that she had been toying
with the revolver and had accidentally
discharged it. Mrs. Chase. not suspect
ing her daughters intentions. warned
her about the danger and urged her 20
put away the weapon.
"All right. mother" the girl replied,
'I'll put it away
With that Mrs. Chase left the room.
1t was only few minutes later that
the second shot was fired. After firing
the fatal shot, Miss Chase placed the
revolver on the bureau and started out
Of the room. She reached the hall and
there fell dying at her mothers feet.
The Chase family came to Berkeley
two years ago from Vermont. Chase
invested in real estate and gave his
time to his. private interests.

TRACY MAKES REPORT ON
LAUNDRY COMPROMISE
Tells Labor Council That
Union Fares Well in
Proposal

One OF the most important matters
that came up before the labor council
last night was the report OF Delegate
George A Tracy OF the conciliation
committee that is striving to effect a
settlement between the laundry work
ers and the owners. He stated that a
subcommittee waited on the laundry
owners and obtained from them a COM
promise proposition to the effect that
the union shall enter into q three year
contract to work 81 hours a week
during the first year. so hours the sec
ond year 49 hours the first six months
and IS hours the last six months of the
third year.
This is not an eight hour day, nor an
eight and a half hour proposition" said
Tracy, but it means that the workers
should put in so many hours each week
at the discretion of the owners and that
the work shall be done daily between
: o'clock in the morning and o'clock
in the afternoon. We believe that un-
der present conditions this is a very
fair compromise. and we urged the
laundry workers very strongly to ac-
cept the PROPOSITION
The matter will be acted upon at a
meeting OF the laundry workers Sun
day afternoon in Dolores hall. at !
O'Clock.
Grant Hamilton addressed the council
at some length on the subject of the
