THUG MAKES THIRD
ATTEMPT ON HOME
Two Efforts to ChIorofOrm the
Savini Family Followed by
Plot to Burn House

BERKELEY, Sept. Mystery sur
rounding the two attempts at burglary
and the administration of chloroform on
the family of w. Savini, prominent
Portuguese family of 1912 Delaware
street in West Berkeley, was increased
today when it was learned that a fire
in the Savini home Saturday night
was undoubtedly OF incendiary origin,
and not caused by the explosion OF a
lamp, was first reported.
The fears of the SaVinis have been in
creased by the three mysterious at
tempts to wreck their home, and, as
sisted by the police, they are carefully
guarding their premises in hope of
catching the culprit.
The Savini family was out calling
at the time of the fire of unknown
origin Saturday evening about o'clock.
Members of the family returned about
10 o'clock to find their place enveloped
in flames.
The prompt arrival of the fire depart
ment and the assistance of the police
kept the damage down to about S400.
While the fire in itselfswas compara-
lively Insignificant, coupled with the
two attempts at burglary and chloro-
forming on the nights Of August IL
and II VI is considered to have sim
lister meaning.
The mysterious attempts to burglarize
the home of Sayini followed closely
on the kidnapping of little Dorothy
Lacolla, granddaughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Savini. Their daughter Mrs. Della La
cola, had been separated from her
husband, James Lacolla, a barber,
whom the police believe knows some
thing about the nocturnal visits to the
Savini home.
That in the two attempts to rob the
home in which Mrs. Lacolla was stay
ing the supposed burglar chloroformed
the members Of the family for some
purpose is the belief of the police.
Today Sayini is on guard and de-
clared that he viii remain on guard
until he is able to solve the mystery
of the attacks on his home. The po-
lice, too, are also active and arrests
may follow.

Special Report on Money Needed
VIII Be Presented to City
Council Tonight

OAKLAND, Sept. 7s--A special meet
ing of the board of public works. as
a harbor commission, will be held to-
morrow morning for the purpose OF
drawing up a report upon the pro-
posed harbor Improvements. to be pre-
sented to the city council tomorrow
night. The report will be in the ma
ture of a set of recommendations as
to the amount of money to be asked
for in the first call for a bond cleo
ton, and as to the portions of the
water front where the initial work will
be done.
At the last meeting Of the city coun-
ell a resolution was introduced ad-
vocating the issuance of call for
a bond election of s4,500,0OO, but the
resolution failed to carry, as did an
other specifying sS,000,00O as the
amount to be raised.
1t is unofficially asserted at the
city hall that the harbor commission
ers. who are Mayor Mott. City Attor-
ney McElroy and City Engineer Tur-
ner, do not believe that public policy
requires a call for any such amount
as S5,000,000 or more at this time TO
fnaugurate harbor improvements. The
plea for such a figure as $4.500,O 900
as an inaugural expenditure is de-
clared to be made in the interests OF
corporations which would resist at

would favor a high bond proposal on
the theory that it would be beaten at
