Doctor Arrested for Murder
of Young Oregon Girl
Criminal Operation Blamed for Death After
Physician Said Appendicitis

ously i'll. and another doctor who was
called in advised that she be taken to
the emergency hospital. This was
done, and from there she was sent to
the Hahnemann hospital on October
%, and came under the care of DR..
Ward. There she was put under close OBJ
servation by the attendants and ply
sicians, and, according to DR.. Ward
appendicitis developed to the operating
stage and he performed the operation.
DR.. Ward says that the girl died of
septicemia, following the removal of a
gangrenous appendix, and the death
certificate furnished to the Golden
Gate undertaking parlors was to that
effect.
Yesterday the undertakers applied
for a burial permit, and Coroner Le-
land considered the circumstances sur
rounding the demise of sufficient sig
nificance to warrant an autopsy, which
was held yesterday. 1t was then an
nounced that death was the result OF
septicemia following q criminal opera
ton. The voluntary testimony of Glib
son was considered sufficient evidence
on which to arrest O'Donnell on a muir
der charge.
According to Gibson's story when
the girl died he went to DR.. O'Donnell
which he had paid him so that he
could ship the body to Oregon for bur-
ial. but the physician told him angrily
that he would see him dead first; that

the partners divided up the earnings
every night and that he was in no
temper to give any money out of his
own pocket to pay for the girls burial
When the young man was taken to
the city prison last night, according to
custom, his belongings were taken
from him. In an inside pocket was
some cheap jewelry, enclosed in an
envelope. When the articles were
taken he broke down, and, sobbing
bitterly, asked TO be allowed to retain
them in prison. '"They were the things

As the result of criminal operation
performed by DIR. G. w O'Donnel,
vesta Van Viack. a girl not yet
16, lies on a slab at the Golden Gate
undertaking. parlors. the doctor is in
Jail facing a charge of murder, and
James H Gibson, the youth who had
been living with the girl as her hus-
band, after a vain attempt to legally
marry her. is held in detinue at the
city prison.
The story, of which these tragic in
cidents are the elimination is a har-
rowing one. The young people
came TO this city some weeks ago from
Cove, Ore. where for some months
they had been trying to gain the con-
sent of the girls parents to their mar
riage, but without success. without
this consent they found it impossible
TO have the ceremony performed on ac-
count of the youth of the girl and
then they decided to come TO this city
to save her from disgrace. They ar
rived here on October IL and registered
at the Winchester under the name of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert.
Here they again tried to become le-
gally united. but without success The
girls father to whom they tele-
graphed, refused to agree to the mar
riage, and then, while they were living
in a lodging house on Third street
they went TO ODonnelPS place at 1920
Geary street in answer to an advertise
ment in morning paper which seemed
to offer them the only way out of the
difficulty in which they found them
selves.
GIRL TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
The names given in the advertise
ment were "Drs. Moore and Black"
but Gibson Identifies O'Donnell as the
man who met them and informed them
that they would have to pay $50 be-
fore he would take the case. Gibson
told the doctor that all the money he
had in the world was 81, and O'Donnell
took the cash "on account" Subse-
quently Gibson procured the remain

formed.

PARIS. Nov. s.-The belief is held
here that France and Germany viii
speedily come TO an understanding on
the question which has arisen over the
arrest OF the German deserters by the
French authorities at Casa Blanca. on
which occasion. Germany charges. an
Official OF The German consulate at that
city was attacked.
Ea-ly in October Germany made rep
resentatiOns OF the French government
on what is now known as the Casa
Blanca incident and demanded that
France make expression Of regret for
the occurrence. As the matter has been
pushed TO the front in the last few
days France transmitted to Germany q
proposition which she felt could be ac-
cepte1 with good grace by both coun-
tries.
While it is not believed in official cir
cles that Germany viii go TO the ex-
tent Of making the Casa Blanca incident
the subject Of an ultimatum, a consider
able degree OF disQuietude has been felt
here, because It was thought that Ger
many was seeking to infiict diplomatic
humiliation upon France as a diversion
from the situation which has arisen at
home from the publication OF Emperor
Williams now famous interview.
This time, however, France has re-
Ssolved to stand firm. Paul Cambon, the
French ambassador in Berlin, has been
instructed 10 notify Germany that
France maintains her view that the
whole question should be arbitrated and
that in the meantime she must decline
10 release her deserters, to reprimand
The officers concerned or to exchange
regrets with Germany.
AT the same time the foreign Offices
Of st. Petersburg and London have been
informed of the exact situation.
Advices received from Berlin indicate
that Chancellor vOn Bulow looks favor
ably on the arbitration proposition, and
there seems TO be little doubt now that
an amicable agreement viii soon be
reached.

hassador 70 France, and Foreign Min

The uplift In the Mountains.

Lincoln university, for the support
of which money will be solicited in
connection with the Lincoln cente-
nary, is not merely another education
al fad nor is it useless competitor
with other institutions. 1t is main
tained for the practical training of
mountaineers who but for its open
doors will live without half a chance
in case they stay in the mountains and
fight against enormous odds II they
leave the hills for crowded marts. In
its ambition the university may be
called an experiment. But the mission
proclaimed is not farfetched. There is
need of uplift work in those very
mountains.
Farther south in the mountains Of
Georgia young society woman Of
st. Louis established pioneer "settle-
ment' few years ago which has
proved that the idea Of carrying culture
to the poorest soil is worth while. Be-
ginning with five boys in 1902, she now
conducts an establishment comprising
laundry, truck farm, school and
library and dairy, the work being done
by pupils, some of whom pay their
way by labor. However ignorant and
ragged at the start, the material Of the
Wild hills is good. Not alone native
ruggedness. but native honesty, is the
heritage of those children, whose for
bears were in the main Scotch-Irish
immigrants.

Of boys and girls who became fathers

boots little whether that midnight trip

That charge into hot place at Bala-

scribes it, but the rendering Of Tenny-

schoolboys who in the sixties really

what Sherman found it, but the spirit
to eight on horseback, footback and
