Class Day.
Friday, May ~, was a day full
of activities for the college COM
munity. At Ago O'Clock p. m.
the Senior class held its last exer-
cises as an undergraduate organiza-
ton. Forming in line the entire
student body marched into the
chapel singing their college song,
Central, we thy children. The
Seniors, in cap and gown, took
their places on the stage, and the
foreword was given. From begin
ming to end everything showed
conclusively that the class had
played very vital part in the life
of the college since its entrance in
1904. The exercises were varied
amusing and interesting.
So picturesque a scene is rarely
witnessed elsewhere as took place
upon the college campus. Beyond
the dark-clad gowned class, many
spectators, relatives, friends, sisters,
brothers and parents looked on
sympathetic eyes. The graduates
made royal bonfire, and consign-
ed to the flames the many difficult
verbs of German, French, Spanish,
Latin, and even our mother tongue
wac not spared. Then seated in a
circle the maidens toasted their
marshmallows in perfect silence,
in memory of many similar scenes
in their college days. In order to
check the two ready tears, the
three representative classes left be-
hind made the air ring with college
songs, sentimental and humorous,
varying things with their college
yells. The program follows:
Chorus-Central March.
Foreword-Beulah Denison.
Charge to Faculty-Jennie
Webb.
, Chorus-"Cheer for Central, ="
Class Diary-Alice Barry.
Presentation of Mascot-Flossie
Thomas.
The Prophecy-Myrtle Harris.

Glass Gift-Alma Carroll.
Class Poem-Maude Hodges.

Probably nothing was more in

of which she unfurled large Cen
trail pennant, which continues to
flaunt proudly in the breeze. Her

IcELANDERs ARE LONG LIVED.
Average Age There Double Mean Dura-
tion Of Human Life.

1t would be interesting to know If
any part of the world beats Iceland
In the average length of life of it's
inhabitants. 1t is shown in the census
OF 1905 that on an average the people
OF that island live to the age of 61.S
years, which is very nearly double the
mean duration of human life as it
was computed generation ago. Swe-
den and Norway are regarded as very
healthful countries, but Iceland takes
the palm in longevity, the mean dura-
ton of life in Sweden being 5OO2
years and in Norway 1894 years.
Some of lceland's earthquakes are
nerve-raclIing,, but on the whole the
lives of most Of its simple and indus
trious inhabitants slip along with few
incidents that ul&Giy stimulate or de-
press the pulse. Summer and winter

steams into the harbor of Reykiavik

closely as to make excitement. In
fact the little island enjoys many of
the advantages of civilization and

Why Letters Are Unwrltten.

Why not keep up writing-desk sup.
plies just as conscientiously as those
for the pantry? asks a writer. Few
households would get along a week
without sugar, salt or soap, yet how
many letters are unanswered for the
lack Of good pen, a stamp or an en-

lack of thought, that keeps an insuffi.

WILSON SHOWS
FORM REVERSAL
Former Boodling Supervisor
Turns FIipflop as Ford
Case Witness
Receivers His Memory and
Gives Testimony Damag-
ing to Defendant

From the sheltering wing of Pat-Cal-
houn fed Andrew M. Wilson, confessed
boodling supervisor, yesterday. AS a
witness for the prosecution In the
Tirey L. Ford case he made one Wild.
lurid flight to regain his old standing.
He hesitated not moment. His mem
ory, which suddenly went awry at
Fords former trial, worked we'll yes
terday.
There was no diffidence or embar-
rassment about the proceeding. For
months he has been painting for the
opportunity to destroy the disastrous
effect of his former unruly recollection,
evidently recognizing that the silken
canopy stretched across the overhead
wires by the grafters, sewed though 1t
was with glittering golden threads,
could not keep out the rain of indict-
ments for perjury. and yesterday was
the opportunity given him.
Wilson denied emphaffeally his testi-
mony at the former trial. He denied IL
time and again--sometimes when not
asked to do so.
1t was in vain that the attorneys for
the defense clucked TO him to be good.
Wiley Andrew had no ears for siren
voices What he wanted was TO scram-
BILE back home. and at the first crack
of the bat he was of like jack rabbit
pursued Dy nound. ne Simply idiu
back his ears, bumped himself and
skedaddled He did not stop at the
first base; he waltzed over the second
bag like a runaway, thought himself a
fire department at third and slid home
on his face, bruised, battered and
weary, but wearing happy little smile
which plainly said, Me, too, teacher"
WILSON'S MEMORY IMPROVES
At the former trial Wilaon did not
remember having talked TO the other
supervisors about the bribes to be re-
ceived in the overhead trolley fran
chise matter. He had given a detailed
account of the transaction before the
grand Jury and so startling was the
discrepancy that the only conclusion
which could be reached was that he
had broken his word to the prosecution

CHARGES HER SON
WITH DEED FRAUD
Widow of Leopold Kahn Seeks
Revocation of Conveyance
of Valuable Property
Judge SeaweII Issues Tempo
rary Injunction Against
Rent Collection

Mrs. Caroline Kahn, widow of Leo
pold Kahn. formerly a wealthy business
man here, who went to Paris with his
family 20 years ago, dying there in
January, 1904 yesterday sued her sons,
Lambert and Achille Kahn, for the re-
vocation Of deed conveying absolute
" to them valuable real estate in this
city. She claims that Lambert Kahn
induced her TO sign the deed by fraudu-
lent representations. The property con-
sists of two lots. one at the north
west corner of Market and Sansome
streets, and the other in Suffer near
Sansome, together worth more than
$500. O0O. and from which an income Of
81 600 q month has been received from
the lessee, Isaac Liebes.
Mrs. Kahn, who is very old and in
firm, resides in Paris. where her six
children also make their home. 1t was
her intention, she states in the COM
plant, to so dispose of the property,
which was Willed TO her by her hus-
band. that she should enjoy the income
during life, the property to be equally
divided between the six children at her
death. While she was i'll in bed in
Paris, she complains, her son Lambert
brought to her a paper which he told
her would give effect to her wishes. and
which she signed without reading. She
afterward ascertained that the paper
was an absolute conveyance Of the
property to her sons Lambert and
Achille. These two sons have since col
lected the rents, she states, and she
has no other property.
Affixed to the deed is the signature
OF A Pital. consular agent of the
United States in the city of Brest, GER
tifying that Mrs Caroline Kahn ap-
peared before him on January 4, 1906,
and .ave7ted the Instrument His sig
nature was secured by fraud practiced
by Lambert Kahn, she alleges. AS a
matter of fact, she was not in Brest
that day, but was i'll in bed in Paris.
Judge Seawell signed a temporary
order restraining Lambert and Achille
Kahn from collecting the rents, and
ordering them to appear on May 15 and
show cause why the order should not
be made permanent.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
ON A STR[[TCAR
Tilted Girl Saved From Death
by Prompt Action of
Conductor
Tries to Take Poison Because
Her Soldier Lover Had
Welded Another

A pitiable attempt at suicide on
Union street car early yesterday morn
| ing brought out the intense pathos IN
the life of Mabel Smith, dainty lit
tie girl of 10 years, who, overwhelmed
by utter hopelessness in seeing her SOL
dier sweetheart welded to another,
sought surcease in the oblivion OF
death The attempt failed. The street
car conductor, seeing her put oottie
of carbolic acid to her lips, dashed IL
| from her hand.
| All the long night the girl had spent
In heart broken vigil at one Of the Tor
mer trysting places in the Preside
grounds. There she had waited and
| watched and sobbed, enveloping her
| self in the old dreams, husging TO ner
| heart the stabbing memories. Hour
after hour she waited. For what, she
| knew not. Why, she knew not. Sne
| just went because-because.
| Here she would cry and, with tiny
| wisp of a handkerchief, touch gently
the white scar on her lips where the
burning poison had left its mark.
| Until few months ago she was
engaged to marry Charles Olson, a SOL
dier in the Twenty-seventh infantry,
stationed at the Presidio. He was
among the men ordered to Goldfield
during the recent labor difficulties, and
when he came back 1t was with a Gold
uelQ DIlQe.
1t was the same simple. old tale
| of a broken heart, without embellish
ments or heroics. There were no fervid
declarations, no impassioned speeches,
no keen analysis of soul or ego-noth-
ing but the poignant anguish OF a
girlish heart. nothing but lonely tears,
| nothing but long nights Of sorrow in
solitude.
Il could not Sleep she said.
She could not sleep, and on Wednes-
day evening she journeyed to the old
trysting place. 1t was dusk when she
arrived and dawn when she left. All
through the night she waited. All
through the night she worshiped at the
altar place Of her love, her tears a
sacrifice, her pitiful longings whis-
pered prayer. But tears and prayers
| availed not and the same. simple story
worked along to It's accepted conc1u-
sion, even to the bottle OF carbolic
acid.
She boarded one OF the early morn
ing cars travelling in Union street and
hardly had 1t proceeded block when
she opened a handbag, took out the
bottle of poison and raised 1t to her
lips. The conductor ran to her and
dashed 1t from her. Then she broke
down and cried
She was taken to the north end po-
lice station and then departed for her
home at 2749 Fillmore street. the cruel
imprint of the poison's kiss on her
quivering lips lost in the keener agony
OF her broken heart.
