TWO MEN KILLED
IN FIERCE BATTLE
Central City Scene of An
mother Street Duel.
NO WITNESSES TO SHOOTING
Trouble Grew Out of Old
Feud About Change in
Police Officers.

A. Central City last Thursday
night in a quarrel in front of Rabies
resi- aurant about IL o'clock, j. w.
Harmon, a policeman, shot and kill
ed Charles WOODBURY., policeman,
and was in turn shot and probably
fatally wounded by j. r. Wooten,
chief of police. In the exchange of
shots, Chief of Police Wooten was al
so fatally wounded by Policeman Har-
mon. At the time of the shooting
the streets were practically deserted
and any information regarding the
manner in which the quarrel started
is meager, as no one saw the three
men in controversy before the shots
We're fired. WoodDurn was instantly
killed and Harmon lived only a short
time. Wooten was shot in the lower
part of the stomach.
Wooten is day chief and Harmon
was night chief. 1t Is claimed that
Wooten was ordered home by Harmon
Wooten returned in company with
Policeman WOODBURY., and it is al
legged they went to arrest Harmon.
In the fight that followed about
twenty shots were fired. WOODBURY.
was Instantly killed and Harmon was
riddled with bullets. Both legs and
both arms were broken and several
bullets entered his body.
The tragedy was enacted near the
Illinois Central railroad station, near
which are located all of the saloons
Of the city and several restaurants.
The fight began on the sidewalk be-
tween Rabies restaurant and Mays
saloon, not fifty yards from the spot
where John d. Wood, the labor lead
er, and two other men were killed
in a similar affray several weeks
ago.
The three men met on the stree,
and soon became engaged in a vio-
lent quarrel. After a war of words
all three reached for their weapons
and almost at the same time they be-
gan to shoot. WOODBURY. fell at the
first fire, a ball piercing his heart
and causing instant death. Woosen
and Harmon continued to shoot AT
each other, both being hit several
times, and Harmon lived less than
half an hour after the fight began
Wooten was dangerously wounded.
Wooten is a man about 40 years Of
age. He was recently made chief Of
police as a result of the shake-up In
the force following the election of a
new City Council, of which James d.
Wood was a leading spirit. The diff
ficulty which ended in Woods death
arose out of the shift in police Off
GERS.
Harmon was a man so years of age
and had been on the police force for
many years, doing duty at night.
Woodburn was the youngest of the
two, being about 95 years of age. He
was employed in a local restaurant.

GREEK COLONY SPLITS
OVER MONEY COLLECTIONS
Judge Trout Grants Order Re-
straining Ten Members From
Handling Accounts

The breach in the local Greek colony
was widened yesterday by the fling of
suit by the Greek community of San
Francisco, corporation, against 10
of its members to enioin them from
collecting money or gifts for the or
ganization. Those members named as
defendants are: d. Capatos. George
Contas, X Piculacas, A. GaliaStsatos,
b. Candris, George Avuris, S. Bunat-
SOS, George P. Valianos, John MalamiS,
John Duraburas and NJ. V. Vamales.
The complaint charges that the de-
fendantS for two weeks past have with
out authority been collecting money
on behalf of the community and con-
verting 1t to their own use. The only
members of the community authorized
to collect subscriptions are John Kos
topulos and George Flessuros, mem
bers of the ecclesiastical committee.
and by the rules of the organization
they are bound to turn the money
over to the treasurer. 1t is not be
lfeVed. so the complaint AYERS, that
the defendants will account for the
money they have collected. An in
junction is asked for restraining them
from receiving or otherwise handling
| contributions to the community. Judge
Trout yesterday granted a temporary
restraining order pending further ac-
tion by the court.
Fearing that the order of the court
might provoke trouble between the
warning members of the colony at the
Greek church this morning the author
tiles of the latter prevailed on Chief
of Police Biggy last night to detail
several patrolman to attend the service
this morning.
Edgar c. Levey and George NJ. Lipp-
man are the attorneys for the plain
tiff corporation.

BANJO VIRTUOSO
WINS HIGH HONORS
Mrs. Alice Kellar-FOx Gains
Recognition for Remark
able Playing

Mrs. Alice Kellar-Fox. at present the
director of the San Francisco banjo and
mandolin club and president Of the
Kellar conservatory of music. is pro-
fessionaI musician of unusual talent.
AS banjo virtuoso Mrs. Kellar-Fox
is well known in England as well as
in America, having made concert tours
through both countries with gratifying
success.
As an artist with the banjo Mrs. Kel
lar-Fox has won recognition for the re-
markable. quality of her playing. She
has raised the banjo to the level of
the violin and piano. Under her skillful
Ftouch the result is real music, not noise.
as in the case of so many musicians
of inferior degree. In fact, Mrs. Kellar-
Fox has gained the title of the fore
most feminine banjoist in the world on
her merits. On September IA, 1900. she
won the gold medalland the champion
ship at tournament held in the Grand
Central palace, New York city.
Aside from being a banjo virtuoso.
Mrs. Kellar-Fox also possesses a strong
and pleasing soprano voice, which she
often accompanies with her banjo obli-
cato She studied the banjo in New
York as a pupil of the famous Alfred
Farland, with whom she later appeared
in concert. Mrs. Kellar-FOx has also
appeared in feature roles with several
companies, and once played May Irwin's S
songs while the actress sang. The San
Francisco banjo and mandolin club. of
which Mrs. KellarFox is director, is
probably the finest organization of its
kind on the coast and has given many
successful concerts in this city. Mrs.
KeIlar- Fox makes a speciality of giving
! instruction at the Kellar conservatory
of music on the stringed instruments to
those desiring to undertake a profess
sional career.

SET A TRAP FOR
THE INK Singer
Detectives Fail to Catch Foe of
Fine Dresses, Who Takes
Vacation
Suspected Ladies Tailor Is
Closely Followed, but Is
Not Incriminated

Inc police department yesterday set
trap for the ink singer whose un
| aoated activity in running womens
gowns has filled the hearts of fashion
able shoppers with anxiety but the
balt tailed to attract, and the offender
is still at large.
The large crowd which gathered
around Market street display window
where a directoire gown was on exhibit
tlon, was augmented by the presence
OF number of Chief Biggy's sleuths,
ooth male and female, and the strictest
Watch was kept there and in Van Ness
avenue. The ink singer, however, took
vacation, and not a single report of
ruined gown was received during the
day
Joseph Coffee, the ladies' tailor who
was arrested a few weeks ago on sus-
plc1on OF having done the ink singing
and later released for lack of evidence,
was seen again yesterday in Van Ness
avenue in the locality where many of
the dresses have been splashed with
ink. He was shadowed all the after
noon, but made no move which might
arouse suspicion or serve as an excuse
for his rearrest. The police cannot
drive him out of the city forcibly,
yet everything is being done to make
him realize that a change of scene
would be to his advantage.
Chief Biggy, after learning that Gof-
fee came here from Chicago about the
end of April wired to that city to know
| II an ink Singer had operated there
prior to April, and received the reply
that nothing of the kind was known
in the Windy City. Biggy and Captain
Gleason are using every means within
their power to detect the miscreant and
are confident of making his capture in
the near future.

THIS PRECEDENT
Will AID TEACHERS
Restoring of Certificate TO
James Ferguson Strengthens
Position of Instructors

BY restoring a teachers certificate to
James Ferguson. the Sonoma county
board of education set a precedent yes
terday which will tend to strengthen
the position of every public school in
structor in California The Sonoma
board acted upon a decision of Judge
Albert G. Burnett, who ruled that no
teacher could be deprived of his cer-
tifcate unless confronted with specific
charges and placed on trial in a legal
manner.
Ferguson, who is at present deputy
superintendent of schools in San Fran
cisco, incurred the displeasure of the
Sonoma board of education four years
ago, when he refused to admit Louis
Dabner, since convicted as one of the
gaspipe murderers, to the Petaluma
high school Ferguson held that, de-
spite his grammar grade certificate,
the boy was not prepared for high
school work. In barring the lad he
ran counter to his superiors and the
board of education revoked his certifi-
cate.
Ferguson then came to San Francisco
and taught under his state certificate.
He decided to make a test case, and
took the matter into court Judge Bur-
nett ruled that the Sonoma school au-
thorities had acted illegally and or
dered the certificate restored. The for
NAL action was taken yesterday and
Ferguson was reinstated.
The decision is regarded as Of vital
interest to every school teacher In the
state Heretofore boards of education
have been able to revoke certificates at
WILL but this can no longer be done.
Bills have been passed at two separate
sessions of the legislature to protect
the teachers from the unjust cancella-
tion of their certificates, but in each
case the governor has withheld his sig
nature. The same bill, it is said, will
be introduced at the forthcoming ses-
sion and an effort will be made to in
duce the governor to sign it.

Wings to Feet of Deputy
Coroner CrOnin

Since Prof James H. Hyslop ac-
quainted the untutored west with the
mysteries of psychic forces, last winter.
in a course of lectures delivered at the
University of California there has been
no end of original research by the To-
cal branch of the American Society for
Psychical Research, of which the noted
savant is president. The field has been
we'll explored and discoveries include
the locating of a buried city founded
at some prehistoric date.
For a time yesterday the central
emergency hospital promised a brand
new chapter for the mysteries of the
dead. At any rate new record for the
220 yard dash was established by Dep
uty Coroner Sam Cronin, who unhinged
door and upset fat woman who was
mounting the intirmary steps as the
sprinter made his exit.

hospital from an overdose of opium
Cronin came to remove the body. He
was told by Steward James O'Day that
the corpse was in the female ward. On
entering the apartment Cronin started
| to remove the covers from a completely
covered cot. As he did so the corpse
frantically clawing for the bedding let
out a shrek far more ghostly than
anything recorded by Camille Flam-
marion in his Mysterious Psychic
Forces"
Cronin started from the scratch. The
neighborhood thought an insane pa
tient had escaped. He was finally over
hauled by mounted policeman After
much persuasion, mostly of a fluid ma
ture, Cronin returned to the hospital
to learn that he had pulled the sheet
