George S. Acres being candidates for
the position. Mr.. Giles has served
the association for more than twen-

his friends, and it is their belief that
his election will be profitable one
for the city and association.

now has the matter in charge, ex-
pecting to receive plans and specifi-
cations as soon as possible. The
vault would be located on the circular

ST. xAWER's SCHOOL GRADu-
ATEs A CLASS OF FOUR
GIRLS.
A creditable Program Given BY Pu-
pills Greatly Enjoyed.

The commencement program of st
Xaviers school given at the City Op
era house on last Tuesday evening,
June the Sth, was much enjoyed by
an exceedingly large and apprecia.
tive audience
The opening number of the pro
gram was an instrumental selection
by class orchestra composed of o.
Barnd, piano; D. Barnd, mandolin;
G. Shaffer and L. Van Barringer, vio-
lins. A boys chorus from the Junior
class rendered musical composition
by Eldridge, which was followed by a
piano duet by the Misses Maley and
kearney. The Interpretation given
this number was unusually brilliant
and evidenced the fine instruction
which they have received from the
department Of music in the schools
A bar bell drill, given by the junior
Boys, was well executed and pleasing,
while the instrumental duet, render
ed by the Misses Thorpe and Hickey
reflected considerable credit on the
part of those who have SO carefully
trained their pupils in piano meth
DDS. The rendition of this number re-
ceived hearty applause from an ap-
preciative audience.
Concluding Miss Maley's Grafton of
the Horizon of the Soul', an oper-
eta, "rhe Toy Shop, was presented
by cast of the younger members of
the school. The theme of the pro,
duction was cleverly portrayed by
the children, and the slumber song
was one of the pleasing features.
Miss Hickey read Swing Low
Sweet Chariot, recitation which
tells of the freedom given an old
slave, who is taken i'll and dies be-
fore enjoying his liberty. Miss
Thorpe held the close attention of
her audience while delivering an ora
tion, entitled can Injunction, and
evidenced a careful study and pre-
paration of her production. A class
of eight girls presented a pleasing
drama, "The Wrong Box, and was
followed by most enjoyable reci-
tation by Master Wayne Smith, who
doesn't like babies, as may be imag-
ined since enjoying his expected dis
gust during the reading, and this was
followed by a drill, entitled, "War of
the Roses
The class play, The Voyage of
Life was well planned and nicely pre-
sented by the graduates.
The exercises were concluded with
comforting of medals and diplomas to
the Misses Josephine Thorpe, Wine
fred Maley, Bridget Kearney and
Abbie Hickey by the Rev. Father j.
u. Collins, pastor of st. Mary's
church, and the class lecture by the
Rev. j. Malloy, who complimented the
class and those who had assisted in
the exercises on their delightful rem
dition of the various numbers, and
urged that the graduates rememberI
throughout the years the lessons
taught by patient and painstaking
efforts of their instructors The pro-
gram was one of the finest ever CIV
en- in the city.

ENDS LIFE BECAUSE

WAITER IN OAKLAND DIES BY
POISONING
jealousy Over Rival, Who Is Said to

Deadly Drug in Presence Of
Sweetheart

OAKLAND, Sept. S-Driven to des-
peration by the faithlessness of
woman claiming to be the Princess
Ganesa la Birdlashipp of Malwa, India.
and her repeated threats to wed an
unknown rajah, Lewis Grob, a waiter,
today swallowed poison and died.
According to Mrs. Bulski, the land
lady where the woman lived until a
few weeks ago, pursuing her business
of fortune telling, Grob went there this
morning in a last desperate attempt
to find the woman, who, he asserted.
was exercising a hypnotic spell over
him, and when told that she had gone,
drew a gun, threatening Mrs. Bulski.
She screamed, and ]. Piper rushed at
Grob, striking the gun from his hand.
With a curse the waiter fell back
against the wall and before either of
the frightened witnesses realized his
purpose, drained a large quantity of
some unknown acid from a bottle
which he snatched from his pocket.

COD FISHING SEASON HAS
MADE NORWAY PROSPEROUS
Thousands of Persons Also Have Been
Given Employment by Sardine
Industry

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-One Of the
best cod fishing seasons ever expert
enced has just been closed by the Fin
mark Cod fishery, according to Consul
Felix S. johnson of Bergen, Norway
Sardine canning has also become one
of the leading industries of Norway,
giving employment to thousands of
men, women and children.
The export of fish balls to the United
States has fallen off from year to year,
he reports, but the decrease in the ex-
portation of this product to the United
States has been made up by the large
increases in the expectation of sardines
to this country.
The American importer has been COM
PEELED to look to Norway of late years
for the greater part of his supply of
sardines, he says, owing to the unpro-
ductiveness during the last few years
of the Spanish, Portuguese and French
sardine fisheries.

" ENRY FARMAN, the English nero
naut who won the $40, 900 prize at
AA Rheims for flying. HIS miles, a
greater distance than any of his
competitors. without touching the ground
or repienishing his supply of fuel, is said
to have little love for America.
This is due to the fact that when he
visited this country last year to give ex-
hibitions of flying at Brighton Beach, n.
Y, so few persons paid to see him and
his machine that the venture was
financial failure. The machine with
which Farman made his splendid record
at Rheims Is almost Identical with the
one which he brought to America. Mr.
Farman's machine is a biplane Of his
own invention.
Although he was known as one of the
most skillful of the aviators present at
the Rheims meeting, he was dark
horse" in the endurance contest, not hav-
ing given evidence of his ability to meet
and defeat Sommer, Paulhan and Lath-
am, who had previously broken the en-
durance record in succession.

WOMAN BUILDS
NEW AIR CRAFT
ONLY FEMALE AER0PLANIST
PERFECTS MACHINE
New Yorker WlH Soon Try Out APP
paratus with Folding Wings
Which She Believes Will
Be Successful
tBy Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Amid great
secrecy, Miss f. L. Todd, "the only
woman aeroplanist in the world" has
perfected a flying machine embodying
a new principle. The machine itself
presence of a selected company of
scientists.
Miss Todd viii not commit herself
upon the probability of flight in the
machine, and she will make her first
effort unobserved by the prying eyes
of those whose duty it would be to
record failure as we'll as success.
If she triumphs she will exhibit her
apparatus at the fair at Dondon Hills,
Stlten Island, next week. The ma
chine is forty-three feet from tip to
tip. A fifty-horsepower automobile en-
gine will drive it, Miss Todd hopes, at
forty-fiVe miles an hour.
In general construction it is like 9TH
er aeroplanes. The feature in which it
differs radically is an arrangement by
which the operator is able to fold the
planes or wings.
This diminishing of surface theoret-
ically enables the machine to fly at
greater speed.
Miss Todd has contriVed a new
method Of obtaining automatic balance.
She has great faith in her invention
and believes she has solved the prob
lem which has puzzled the Wrights and
all the other aviators.
Miss Todd invented an appliance for
sewing machines that has brought her
large royalties.

WALSH'S OFFER TO TEST
PITCHBLENDE ACCEPTED
VALUABLE ORE FOUND IN GOLD

Mining States All over the West Send
Letters to Man Who Contributed
Money to Colorado School

fBy Associated Press ]

DENVER, Sept, 3.-Interest in the
production of radium has in few days
exceeded the most sanguine eXpeeta-
tions of Thomas F. Walsh, who re-
Gently contributed $4,000 to the Colorado
school of mines at Golden, Colo, for
the purpose of testing free of cost all
samples of pitchblende sent to the
school. Mr.. Walsh in a statement is
sued today expressed his gratitude to
the Associated Press and newspapers
for the publicity given this effort to
arouse interest in the production of
radium. Regarding pitchblende, Mr..
Walsh says:
so far pitchblende has been found in
gold and silver sulphide veins. 1t looks
like magnetic iron, is of great specific
gravity and lustrous black like gun
metal"
Referring to the demand for speci-
mems he concludes: Letters are pour
ing in not only from our own state,
but from all the mining states of the
west, asking for information and speci-
mems. As it may not be possible to
send specimens to all applying, post
masters or interested parties in Colo
rado will be supplied first. After that
our sister states and territories will be
supplied as far as possible"
