mother alternately prayed and shouted
words of encouragement.
Down d street flew the motor car
the explosions in the cylinders making
only a continuous roar; scant block
behind rode the police, calling on Gress
and the chauffeur to halt in the name
of the law.
Escapes from Pursuers
AS If realizing the precious burden
and the hopes it carried, the motor sped
as thing alive, the engine responding
to every touch of the drivers hand.
Slowly the gap between pursuer and
pursued heightened. A block and a
half, two blocks, and as Gress shielded
Marchie as best he could from the Bit
ing dust and wind he blessed the man
who invented the automobile.
Turning on to Union street Blanchard
opened wide the throttle and advanced
the spark. and out toward Oldtown
the car dashed. drawing farther and
farther away from the police whose
painting and exhausted horses gave
evidence that the chase soon must end.
Not until ten miles had been covered
did Blanchard slacken speed, and then,
as though the hclle goddess of Chance
had smiled too approvingly on Gress,
they lost their way. A road leading to

good half hour lost. Inquiring their
way they again found themselves on
the main thoroughfare, and with re-
newed hope they rushed on toward
Oceanside.
But poor little Marchie, who had
neither coat nor hat, nothing but a
little pink frock, pink stockings and
sandals, was shivering with the cold.
Gress took off his coat and wrapped 1t
closely about the child. He pressed
her to his breast, bending far over her,
his body a shield against the wind.
Mother Love Everywhere
At Del Mar Gress. fearing for the
life of his child, decided to stop and
purchase coat or at least a shawl for
Marchie. But the mother-love with
which all women are imbued made this
unnecessary. AS they drew up in front
of store Mrs. F. o. Stelzner, seeing
the condition OF the child, took her own
shawl, wrapped it about Marchie, and
going inside brought out little cape.

Dispute Over Probable Grape Crop

Mother

BY Associated Press
FRESNO. Sept. 6.--John Bohannan. a
rancher near here, shot and killed him
self this morning after fatally shooting
his wife and seriously injuring his II
year-old son Herbert.
The man and woman had been in the
habit of quarreling over trivial matters
for some time, and the neighbors paid
no attention to their fight this morning
until it was too late.
A dispute as to the quantity OF
grapes the ranch would produce led to
the tragedy.
In all Bohannan fired nine shots from
revolver.
The majority of them flew wild, but
one lodged in his wifes head, another
in the right hand of his son and two
were sent into his own head.
His youngest son, Cecil, mode frantic
attempts to beat his father away and
defend his mother from his attacks,
but was driven off by several shots
from the revolver of the rage-crazed
man.
At a late hour tonight doctors state

MARcHIE (ABoVE), AILEEN WARE
CHINESE ROUT
HOLY ROLLERS
CELESTIAL PATIENCE COMES
FINALLY TO END
Swift, Sudden Raid Ends in Utter Con-
fusion of Sect That Has Been
Making Night
Hideous

A band of Holy Rollers, a score or
more of Chinese and a case of malo-
dorous eggs in combination, resulted in
a riot call from MarcheSSault and Juan
streets last night.
Two weeks ago some unusually bril-
liant mind in the inner circle of the
Holy Roller band incubated the idea
that Chinatown would be a good place
in which to hold meetings.
1t was no sooner thought of than
carried out, and night after night the
celestial inhabitants of the local Mon
golian colony were treated to the
antics, gyrations and eXhortations of
this Jealous and acrobatic sect.
The Chinese are born to patience and
long suffering, and endure with meek
and lowly spirit almost any kind of
affiiction which the white man or
woman chooses to inflict upon them.
In this instance, however, patience
and forbearance ceased to be a virtue,
and last night was fixed upon to rid
Chinatown of what one merchant called
pestilential nuisance; that. at least,
was what his Chinese, If freely trans
lated into English, would have signi-
fed.
When the evening meeting had be-
gun and the excitement was at its
height there was a swift and sudden
coming from dark corners and alley
ways of Chinese, each with basket
on his arm, and each basket loaded to
the brim with eggs that had seen
fresher days.
The air was full of smell and bias
phemy and flying eggs within few
moments. and then pandemonium
ragged for a short time.
Yells of police, help, murder, fire and
screams of freight from men and wo-
men filed the air. A riot alarm was
sent to the Chinese sub station, but
when the police arrived the Chinese
had disappeared as suddenly as they
came. and all that was left was a band
of much bedraggled men and women,
hurriedly slouching along the streets
with one hand to their noses and the
other mopping thin streams of what
had been eggs from their clothing and
faces.

ALL RUSSIA TO
HONOR TOLSTOY
BIRTHDAY WILL BE OBSERVED
BY CITIES
Instead of Central Celebration at Yas-

Held Throughout Cars
Empire
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
YASNAYA. Polania, Sept. e-Owing
to the authors wishes, the attitude of
a part of the orthodox Russian church
and other causes, the celebration of
Count Tolstoy's S0th birthday anniver-
sary, September 9. has lost almost en-
tirely it's originally contemplated i'm
portance and scope, owing to the poor
health Of the author.
Instead of any central observance of
the day at Yasnaya, Polania, jubilee
services have been arranged in the
principal cities of Russia, and in addi-
ton many municipalities and public
organizations have appropriated funds
for schools, libraries and similar in
stitutions that bear the name Of Rus
sia's celebrated writer.
There will be no formal observance
of the event at Yasnaya, Polonia, even
the presentation of congratulations by
deputation of the peasants of the
neighborhood having been discouraged.
and the family of Tolstoy has made
known his wishes that there be no In
trusion on his privacy on his birth
day, because of his anxiety to complete
certain literary labors while he Is yet
strong enough.
Tolstoy has been recently confined to
his room by varicose veins.
This has not interfered with his lit
erary work nor given rise to special
anxiety, his physicians explaining that
1t was a passing malady.
Tolstoy devotes as long hours as
younger writer's to his literary work.
So hard does he drive himself in his
great work that he has repeatedly
tainted away at his desk or in his
studio.

Or. c.. A. Johnson, government in
speotor in charge, in Sioux City. las a
valuable paper on the disposition of
tuberculosis cattle in the current issue
in part:
The great difficulty in dealing With
tuberculosis lies in the fact that most
men cannot understand or will not be-
lieve that an animal hat eats and
drinks heartily. hat looks and acts as
II healthy. that grows or lays on flesh
readily. can be seriously diseased. yet
such is the case. Animals apparently
healthy are often t~uberculous When
the average stock raiser compartments
this. the solution OF the problem Of the
control and erad!cat ton of this banetul
scourge will be more easily solved.
is Different.
".Acute diseases produce a train Of
symptoms showing clesrly that the ami
mails are sick. and the usually large
and rapid death rate demonstrates the
necessity Of prompt action. With
tuberculosis it is different. The dis
ease progresses very slowly and the
symptoms ara practically Invisible eX-
cept in the last stages. In the one case
all understand the nimal Is diseased.
while in the other. the average man
does not comprehend the condition and
is loath to believe that the animal is
diseased.
With our present knowledge Of
tuberculosis there Is but one accurate
method for diagnosing the disease in
the live animal. and that is the tuber-
culin test. The testing of animals is
d comparatively simple process in itself,
but it leads to the very serious and i'm
portant question:: What shall be done
with the diseased animals after they
have been d~iscovered?' The two general
plans that have been n now are be-
ing generally followed may be errned
the slaughter method and the Bang
method
Slaughter Report.
The slaughter method has been va
rIousiy modified at different times and
places, but the one central principle
has been that the diseased cattle must
be destroyed within certain periods. ac-
cording TO the conditions prevailing at
the time n place Of the test. In
some cattle are appraised at
a valuation of healthy stock. They are
then destroyed by the state, burned or
buried, and a certain percentage of the
appraised valuation is paid by the
state.
In other instances the cattle are APP
praised as above and then sold for
slaughter. subject to post mortem in
dciency between the fixed percentage
Of the appraised value and what the
cattle bring for meat. In still other in
stances the owner is compelled to sell
his affected cattle for slaughter. subject
Ia post mortem inspection without any
reimbursement from the state. In the
latter case the owenr receives only the
meat value of the affected cattle. All
these methods are more or less waste
full and unsatisfactory. especially when
dealing with valuable breeding animals.
1t has been demonstrated that the dis
ease usually progresses so slowly that
most animals will live from two to
five years after becoming infected, es-
pecially when the cattle are kept UNI
der favorable conditions rather than
under conditions favorable to the
tubercle bacilli.
t~uberculous animals they are capable
of breeding and he COWS will raise
