'GIBSON'S PERMIT
REVOKED BY BOARD
Mayor Mott Puts the Motion 10
Prevent the Crematory
Being Opened

OAKLAND, Sept. 29.-The board of
Mayor Frank X. Mott this morning the
building permit obtained several weeks
ago by Frank B. Gibson to erect a
building at Linda and Piedmont ave-
nues, on the ground that the promoter
had fraudulently applied for the per-
mission. Gibson described his con-
templated structure in his application
as an educational institute and in
formed several persons, it was said
that he would build an engineering
school.
Charges of fraud were made against
Gibson three weeks ago, when it was
divulged, according to complaint before
the board, that he intended to build q
crematory for the incineration OF
human bodies. Citizens of Piedmont
Protested to the board and Gibson was
summoned to explain his action. He
failed to appear, being represented by
Attorney George e. de Cola. who again
today served for the absentee.
De Cola filed a written objection to
the revocation of the permit on the
ground that the board had no author
ity to cancel the permit and that Glib
dfnance in misrepresenting the nature
of his undertaking, If he had done SO.
De Cola insisted that the commits
sioners would have to permit the erec-
ton of a crematory If such a permit
were applied for and declared that there
were no prohibitions of such a struc-
ture in any part of the city.
Mayor Mott replied to this by an
nouncing that the revocation of Glib
9 ira n la an, -
gency measure and the other commits
sioners sustained him by their votes
when motion was put.
De Cola gave no intimation of his
intentions, but he may take legal action
on behalf of his client.

WOMAN is GAGGED
BY TWO BURGLARS
Brutal Robbers Leave Invalid
on Floor Unconscious From
Cruel Beating

OAKLAND. Sept. 29.-Mrs. August
Olson. wife of sign writer living at
es2 Sycamore street. was beaten until
unconscious and gagged bt two bur-
glars whom she encountered in the
dining room Of the house at o'clock
this morning.
Her husband was asleep in an ad-
Joining room and knew nothing of the
struggle in the dark dining room until
his wife fell to the floor and the two
house breakers had fed through the
rear door
Rising to investigate and believing
that Mrs. Olson had tainted the sign
writer found the woman insensible on
the floor. with white cloth in her
throat On the table lay a heap of
silverware.
The woman's fight with the burglars
followed weary night of caring for a
sick baby. Worn out by the vigil Olson
mad gone to sleep early in the morn
ing. The baby cried and awakened the
mother, who arose and started 10 the
kitchen for hot water. The father still
slept.
Ii is supposed the two burglars were
in the dining room when Mrs. Olson
emerged from the bedroom. There was
mud this morning on the carpet behind
table and il is probable that the in
truders croUebed there when the
woman passed TO the kitchen.
Once IN the kitchen Mrs Olson lit the
gas and The jet partly illumined the
dining room. The woman LEFT the fight
burning when she started back to the
bedroom. The burglars without the
security Of darkness sprang AT her just
as she stepped into the dining room
door. One OF them hit her on the left
side and Mrs. Olson reeled under the
blow. her feet scraping the floor. This
slight noise must have alarmed the
Burglars again, for one OF the men
drove his fist on the side of Mrs. Olson's
head
Then. while the taller OF the two
men. who wore black overcoat and a
black mask. held the woman, the other
gagged her. Both broke for the back
door and the unconscious woman fell
TO the floor.
DR.. A II. Pratt was summoned to
treat Mrs. Olson. who has been his
patient for several days. After more
than an hour she revived and narrated
the encounter with the burglars.
