Cause of Strife and Full
Meeting

PALO ALTO, July 3O.-Discord is ex-
pected to develop at a special meeting
tomorrow of the Woman's club, the
most select of Palo Altos many organi-
cations.
The proposed autumn festival of the
club, to be held in October, was the
cause of the strife which is stirring
the women of the university and club
sets. A meeting of a portion of the
executive committee of the club was
l-held yesterday, headed by Mrs. Z. G.
and those of the club who were present
agreed fully on the general outline of
the program to be carried out at the
festival, and selected all of the more
important committees, with their va
rious chairmen.
The unconsulted faction Of the club
women charge Mrs. Greene and her
friends with making out slate and,
as 1t were, taking the most authoritas
tive positions without Semblance of

exclusive organization, which contains
on its rolls the names of all the better
known society women Of Stanford uni
versity and PalO Alto, gave out the
following statement this afternoon:
The premature printing of full list
Of committees, which is practically a
slate; the outline of programs, before
the Woman's club has voted to hold
any festival, and all the other minute
details already in print, will certainly

vote to hold a festival, many consider

CANADA TO PROFIT
BY RATE MIX HERE

VANCOUVER, July 30.-Even should
the transcontinental railways persist in
their refusal to publish the overland
proportion of their through rates be-
tween the United States and oriental
points, as required by the American
interstate commerce commission, and
should, as they threaten, retire from
oriental and Australian import and ex
port traffic on November /, Vancouver
and Seattle rates would be little af-
fected, according to advices received
this morning by the Vancouver repre-
sentative of transcontinental railways
1t was reported today that there was
a possibility of American railways Sc
curing permission from the Interstate
commerce commission for the estab
lishment of special rates between coast
and interior points on shipments con-
signed to or received from oriental and
Australian ports. If this concession
is made the present through rates will
hardly be affected, as the special rate
overland would be made to absorb any
difference between steamship plus
overland rates and the present through
tariffs.
On shipments originating in Canada,
the Canadian Pacific railway and
ing lines to Australia and New Zea-
land, would not be affected by the
agreement among transcontinental
railways not to publish their pro-
portionate overland rates. The Can
adian Pacific railway would only be
governed by the interstate commerce
ruling in so far as it's business or1gi-
mating in the United States is con-

DRIVERS ARRESTED FOR
USING COMPANY'S WATER
Trustees Notified That Sprink=
ling Must Be Discontinued,
as Reservoirs Are Low

SAN RAFAEL, July 30.-The initial
shot of what will probably be a pro-
tracted legal battle between the Marin
water company and the city of San Ra-
fael was fired today when Constable
Henry Lucas swore out warrants
against Charles Beach, John Beach and
G. Poreto, water wagon drivers, Tor
procuring water from the fire MIGRANTS
of the water corporation for use In
keeping the streets free from dust.
The water company served the town
trustees with notices on the z5d, In
which it was stated that the water sup
ply was unduly low and for that rea-
son water could be supplied only for
domestic use. That same evening the
trustees held a meeting and decided to
use salt water for street sprinkling
purposes. This order was not followed
out.
According to Attorney Boyd, who rep
resents the trustees, the Marin water
company has not been injured by the
alleged infraction of its notice sent TO
the trustees and in addition he raises
the question as to the right of the COM
pany to complain of a water shortage
in San Rafael when it continues to
supply the Northwestern Pacific rail-
road and San Quentin with water in the
face of an article of Incorporation of
the company which states that the COM
pany is formed to supply water to the
city of San Rafael. The officials of the
water company have different opin-
ion, however

MOTHER WHO KILLED
CHILD is SET FREE
Court Discharges Johanna lslaas
From Charge of Murder on
Technical Grounds

REDWOOD CITY, July 30.-Basing
his defense upon the we'll known
principle of law that criminal assault
upon the corpus delicti must be
proved before admissions are possible,
Archer Kincaid, representing Johanna
Islaas, the San Mateo waitress VINO
murdered her infant on June 8, cleared
his client of a murder charge in rev
short hours today.
The Islaas woman was employed as
a waitress in various San Mateo res
taurants and on June 6 a child was
born to her. A few hours after the
birth of the child she, 1t was alleged,
strangled it and later threw the body
into the bay, where 1t was found a
few hours later by Dan Curran,
Burlingame baker.
At the time of her arrest, under per
sistent questioning on the part or Con
stable Mike Sheehan and District At
torney J. j. Bullock. the woman ad-
mitted all of these facts and in despite
of a supposedly strong case the prose-
cution lost todays battle. Evidence
ruled nonadmissible by Judge BUCK
spoiled the case of Bullock and Judge
Buck instructed the jury to bring IN
a verdict of not guilty. The woman

EDUCATOR SCORES
AMERICAN DRAMA
Yale Professor Says Plays Are
Inferior to Those Seen in
France and Germany
Declares Dramatized Novel and
Actor PngiIist Are Grad
ually Passing

BERKELEY. July 30.-That the
dramatized novel. the actor pugilist
and the overproduction of scenic ef-
fects on the American stage were pass
ing from the modern drama were the
assertions of Prof William Lyon
Phelps of Yale university in Hearst
hall last night when he talked to the
students of the summer session OF the
university on Present Conditions ana
Tendencies of the Drama"
The eastern educator declared that
he welcomed vaudeville, a place OF
amusement where there was no strain
on the intellect, nothing to tax the
mind
He said that the American stage,
while in the process of an evolution.
had not reached the high standard OF
the French and German stages He
added:
The stage is a place for art, not for
sermonology. The American drama is
improving, but 1T is not yet up to the
high standard of France and Germany.
The American theater goers are too
good natured, too tndulgent and willing
to put up with plays of no literary
value. In Germany 1 have heard some
of the greatest actors Kissed off the
stage because they were attempting TO
present a play of little or no literary
value"

SAN RAFAEL July 30.-An armed
posse is securing the country in the
vicinity of San Quentin penitentiary
hunting for Charles Ross, a desperate

tentiary guards about 80 citizens,
armed with rifles, are aiding in the
man hunt
Ross escape from Siberia, IL years
ago, was remarkable feat. He was
given a long sentence as a political
prisoner, but broke for liberty. After
eluding the Russian guards he worked
his way across Siberia to Vladivostok
and. then TO. the shores Of the United
States.
Shortly after arriving at San Fran
cisco Ross was convicted of burglary
and given a five year sentence. He had
hardly finished it when convicted a
second time on another charge of burg
larry and given a term of eight years.
This he was serving when he escaped.

from San Quentin since Warden Hoyle
took charge two years ago.

AUBURN BANKS PAY
WORTHLESS DRAFTS

SACRAMENTO. July 30.-Frank Fl.
Johnson, posing as a member of the
governors staff, made a cleanup of
the Auburn banks on worthless drafts
and was arrested in Sacramento to-
day in company with Gertrude Thomas,
a prominent young woman OF this
city.
Johnson is declared to be wanted in
several counties in the state He
played his game so cleverly that even
state officials indorsed him over the
telephone to the Auburn bankers. He
asked the banks to cash drafts for him
to the extent of about S400. He de-
clared he was Johnson OF San Fran
cisco of the governors staff" and re-
ferred to B. B. Deming of the state
board of examiners to back him up. A
telephone message to Deming brought
the information that Johnson was all
right" and the cashing of his drafts
was easy.
Miss Thomas was convinced that
Johnson was a millionaire because
he took her 10 San Francisco and
rode her around the city in an auto
mobile with his initials on it. 1t has
developed that the automobile was the
property Of the real F. III. Johnson
of the governors staff. who had sold
the machine to a garage. The alleged
bunkoman had used the machine on
several occasions to secure money
from those he had marked for his vic
tins. The Auburn banks discovered
yesterday that his drafts were worth
less and appealed to the Sacramento
police They located Johnson today
in the Yosemite house with Miss
Thomas. The young woman refuses
to believe that Johnson is not a mil
lionaire. She is prostrated as a re-
suit of his arrest.
