WOMAN THREATENS
DEATH IN COURT
Judge SamueIs Orders Kittie
Lesson Removed in Case of
Matthew Matthews
Asserts the Defendant Insulted
Glynn R. Mann, Who Was
About to Rent Room

OAKLAND, Nov. 2O.-"If you don't
fix that man I will Kill him." le
These startling words, directed in a
high feminine voice at Judge Samuels
disturbed the quiet of police court num-
Matthew Matthews on a charge of bat
terry preferred by Glynn r. Mann. The
threat came from Kittie Lesson, pro-
prietress of the Globe lodging house at
404 Fifth street, who claims to be
sister of the accused man. She de-
clared that Matthews struck Mann in
the face because he had insulted her
in her home last night.
Judge Samuels ordered the woman
removed from the courtroom for Great
ing a disturbance and she was escorted
outside by the bailiff, protesting vol
ubly the while.
Mann denied that there was any
blood relationship between Matthews
and the woman, and he offered to
bring witnesses into court to show that
they were living together. He declared
that he had attempted to rent room
from the Lesson woman and that when
he offered her the money Matthews
had accused him of insulting her and
had struck him on the face. His visage
was SO badly cut that he had to go
to the receiving hospital for treatment.
Judge Samuels ordered a continu-
ance of the case for two days in order
that he might investigate the circum-
stances more fully. Matthews was re-
leased on $50 bail furnished by the
woman.

GOMPERS is INDORSED
BY LABOR FEDERATION
Election of Officers Will Take
Place Today and All Will
Stay in Office

DENVER. Colo. Nov. 2O-There has
at no time since the opening of the
convention of the American federation
of labor been any doubt that President
Gompers was not in complete control.
but it was thought possible that a part
of his report might be materially
amended or his political course con-
demned. The report was before the
convention for a day and a half, and,
although for while there was a vigor-
Gus discussion of some of it's contents
the report was adopted this afternoon
and Gompers thereby fully indorsed.
Tomorrow at 10 o'clock the election
of officers. will be the special order of
business. All the old officers will prob
ably be reelected, with the exception
of Vice President Daniel E. Keefe. and
even he may again be voted into Office.
1t is reported that the miners have
decided to support keefe for re-elec--
ton and they have the largest vote of
any union in the convention.
A resolution was offered commencing
the efforts of President Roosevelt in
behalf of the conservation of the nat
ural resources. which was unanimously
adopted. The recommendation that the
federation erect building suitable for
its uses at Washington, D. c., was also
adopted.

CHARGE WATER is IMPURE

SAN RAFAEL. Nov. 20.-County
Health officer DR.. Kuser will call in
the assistance of the state bacteriolo-
gist TO examine the water of Lake
Lagunitas TO determine its purity. as a
result of charges made by residents of
the vicinity. who aver that the source
Of water supply for San Rafael, San
Anselmo, Ross and other towns in the
Ross valley is being contaminated by
the sewage from the tavern on the top
of Mount Tamalpais.
Lagunitas is situated near the base
Of the mountain. and the sewerage sys-
tenn from the tavern consists of a septic
tank which overfiows into the main
stream and spring on the northern
slope Of the mountain, which feeds the
big reservoir. 1t is alleged that the
septic tank has not been receiving
proper attention of late and as a result
the waters of the lake probably have
been made less pure, and there is q
chance of disease breeding germs
reaching the consumers of the water
in different portions of the county.
Kuser expects to make a thorough
investigation, and owing to the wide
spread opinion that the scientific cess
pool should be removed to another To-
cation it is probable that the tavern
officials will be requested to change
the septic tank to another place. where
there will be no danger of contamina-

ELECTRICITY SAVES
ANCIENT SPECIMENS
New Process Is Discovered at
University to Restore Ok
idized Articles

BERK ELEY. Nov. 20.-A number of
ancient bronze specimens of great value
but threatened with complete destruc-
tion by oxidation, have been reclaimed
for science by an electrolytic process
used for the first time at the univer-
sity. Among the specimens which have
been recovered for science are earring gs,
tweezers, coins, lamps, avis, chisels,
arrow points, spindle whorIs. rings,
thimbles, fgurines and ornaments from
Peru, Egypt and Italy.
Copper and bronze were used by the
ancients before the manufacture of iron
was understood. and thousands of spec
linens of ancient origin have been lost
to the world because of corrosion and
oxidation. The bronze and copper are
almost always found buried in the
ground and in such soils full of min
erals as Peru and Egypt they have be-
come deeply corrOded.
On being brought from the dry cli-
mates of the east to the moist climates
of the United States the corrOsion fire.
quently works more rapidly, and af-
fects the core OF the metal without
the process being visible under the
scaly crust of oxide.
BY the method followed at the mu-
scum on the campus the objects are
wrapped IN Sheer zinc and then inn
mersed in solution of chemicals. An
electric process is set up which partly
restores them to the original bronze.
The treatment of metals has uncov-
cred some interesting scientific lore. In
some cases delicate incised ornaments
which were thought to be copper have
been discovered to be native silver.
The process can be applied to other
metals besides bronze and copper. and
a general cleaning up has been started
at the university museum.
