through her head. She had been shot
in the right temple, the bullet COM
ing out at the left side.
Another bullet had plowed the wall

GRANTS SON TOASTS
FATHER AND GEN. LEE
Silent Toast Drunk to Heroes of Union
and Confederacy at Appomattox
Day Banquet of Hamilton
Club

CHICAGO, April 10.-An impressive
incident occurred at the Appomattox
day banquet of the Hamilton club late
last night when Gen. Frederick d.
Grant arose and called for a standing,
silent toast to Grant and Lee"
There was begun at Appomattox,"
said Gen. Grant, 1.-The period of under
standing between the north and south.
I am glad to realize the consummation
of the wish of my dear father, ex-
pressed for final time in the last few
hours of his life, that there ever would
be an enduring peace between the north
and the SOUTH"
The room was hushed to absolute
stiffness while everyone arose and
drank to the memory of the heroes of
the Union and the Confederacy.
Then, when the banqueters had sat
down again, round after round of ap-
plause broke out, while the tiny Ameri-
can flag waved everywhere.

TWO MEN SACRIFICE
LIVES TO RECOVER N
HATS LIST BY WIND

CHICAGO, April 10.-One man lies
dead at a hospital and the police today
are dragging the lake for the body OF
another, both having given up their
lives for their hats, blown OF in the
strong wind prevailing here.
Daniel O'Shea was walking along the
lake shore with two companions when
sudden gust blew his hat into the
water Half in jest he declared that he
would recover it.
While his friends were expOstulating
with him he stripped Off his outer gar
ments and waded in. Suddenly he
doubled up and sank from sight. 1t is
assumed that a sudden chill gave him a
cramp. His friends were unable to go
to his assistance, and after a brief strug-
gle he sank from view.
Samuel Wunch was riding On the plat
form of an electric car when the wind
blew his hat into the street. The car
was moving rapidly but Wunch, without
stopping to consider the possible cOnse-
quences, leaped after his hat and fatally
was injured.

CO-EDS IN CLASS
RUSH USE PEPPER
GIRLS AT POMONA COLLEGE
TRY NOVEL TACTICS
Sophs and Freshmen Clash over
Painting of Numerals on
Walls and Mountain
Side
Especial to The Herald. !


CLAREMONT, April 1O.-Unwilling
to allow the girls of the freshman
class of Pomona college the temporary
pleasure of seeing their class year pla-
carded on the walls of their own dor
mitory, the girls of the sophomore
class rushed" their traditional enc
mics this morning. In the struggle
which ensued clothes were torn, hair
was pulled and red pepper was dis
tributed with zeal. 1t was an example
of feminine grit and stubbornness
matched against feminine grit and
stubbornness, and, like the proverbial
affair of the Greek who met his coun-
tryman, there was no letup until the
last bit of pepper was gone and the
echo of the last resultant sneeze had
died away.
A big 1912" located in the hills back
of the college changed few days ago
what really led up to the struggle of
this morning When the girls became
involved the freshmen fitted up dunn
my which they tagged with the sopho-
mores' class year numbers. This was
more than the co-eds of the second
year could stand. About the time the
dummy was arranged by the freshmen
the sophomores drew likeness of a
mule on a huge poster and labeled it
"1912" The girls of both classes have
been on the defensive for several days,
each waiting for the other to make the
first move in the direction of open hos
tilities. The dummy incident proved
the last straw and the sophomores de-
cided to finish things in hurry. They
went to the camp of their rivals armed
with the pepper. The freshman girls
were taken completely by surprise, not
expecting an attack They made a
rush on the trespassing sophomores in
an attempt to drive them from the
dormitory, but finally the supply of
pepper became exhausted and peace
was restored by members of the fac
ulty.

The immunity bath prepared by Dis

that Oswald has peered below the sur

on which he might slip, is becoming
strengthened, especially when 1T is

torney's office yesterday when report
was received from some secret source
that the missing tenderloin boss had
decided to take advantage of the assur-
ance that he will not be prosecuted If
he agrees to come from his hiding place
and tell what he knows.

one officer who has taken an interest in
the search, forgetting in his deduction
that others might have everything TO

presence.
If Oswald does not appear the grand

for preliminary hearing In Justice

with conspiracy in attempting to evade
a grand jury subpoena. Both these
matters We're continued. the latter to 10
o'clock Tuesday and the former in
definitely.
The proceedings in the case of Du-
rand, charged with contempt in re-
fusing to answer questions pro-
pounded by the grand jury, was
also continued to Thursday by Judge
James. 1t is probable all these cases
will be dismissed, as it is the expressed
desire of the district attorneys office
only to hold the men as witnesses.
