SERIOUS RESULT OF
THOUGHTL[SS JOKE
Mrs. Frances Colwell Loses
Reason When Told Daugh-
ter Had Been Drowned

KENTFIELD. Jan. 15.-Suffering
violent hysteria, and with the possi-
bility that she may lose her reason,
Mrs. Frances Colwell lies strapped to
her bed, a, victim OF a practical joke
played on her by her nephew, Ben
Franklin, and his II year old COM
panion. Fred Luis, who led her TO be-
lieve that her 8 year old daughter had
fallen into San Anselmo creek and had
been drowned.
short time after breakfast this
morning young Franklin and Luis
We're spearing at driftwood that fioated
past in the muddy torrent. Mrs Col
well. who was in the house a short
distance away. missed her year old
baby girl. Maud. and came to the
door.
Anxious as to the whereabouts of
the child she called two or three
times, and receiving no reply, went
back into the house again. A short
time afterward Luis was seen to run
down along the side OF the creek $
bank, and Franklin hastened toward
the house Both youngsters seemed ex-
cited. Franklin burst into the kitchen
and said that the little girl had just
fallen into the stream. The frantic
mother rushed toward the creek
Struggling through the deep mud and
brambles she finally caught up with
Luis and then she was told that they
had "just thought they would give her
scare
Mrs. Colwen collapsed, and when the
jokers succeeded in getting her to her
house tho woman was delirious. Dr.
NJ. F. Simpson was called and pro-
nounced the case one of acute hysteria
which might end by Mrs. Colwelrs
losing her reason.
The unfortunate mother became SO
violent that 1t was necessary to re-
strain her from going down to the
creek In her delirium she keeps
asking for some one to save the
baby, and, although the child. which
was found playing in the woodshed
was placed in her arms, the mother
did not recognize it, and kept up her
pitiful cries.
The boys disappeared soon after the
arrival of the doctor and have not been
seen since. Mrs. Colwell is the wife
of a seafaring man. He is employed
on one of the coast line steamers and
is at present away

BATTLE IN ARENA
FOR GIRLS FAVOR
Geo. O'Brien and Harry Smith
Fight at Dreamland Over
Pretty Mae Burns

The two most gruelling chapters Of
The Cigarette Makers Romance" were
vividly presented at the amateur"
fights at Dreamland rink last night.
Mae Burns, the pretty roller Of to-
bacco, the heroine of the tale, was
not supposed to be there but her two
admirers were-they were eventually
pried apart by the police
George O'Brien of 507 Chenery street
and Harry Smith of IA Garden terrace
were the youths who love Mae Burns.
Both paid her court. both smoked the
cigarettes her dainty fingers fashioned
and both inhaled from the smoldering &
tobacco the burning flame of love.
Mae, the little blue eyed Carmen of
Sunnyside district, could not choose
between her doughty lovers. She sang
her little songs impartially to each,
but could not tell which she loved the
best
But youth has way that is older
than song in which to settle the gage
of love. O'Brien and Smith decided that
the savage test of fists should settle
their rivalry. They told little Mae of
their decision.
The girl shuddered a bit at first and
knitted her white brow as her fingers
toyed with the cylinders of nicotine.
Then she gave permission to her low
ers to fight it out.
They arranged the fight before the
Dreamland athletic club. Last night
they met In conventional ring clothes
there was no pickering over weights
nor the division of the purse. When
marriage license or some such affair
is the stake there is little talk of per-
centage
OBrien and Smith. to prove the
worth of the lovely Macs young
charm, put up the swiftest, the hard
est, the cruelest fight ever seen in a
local ring. During the contest they
attacked each other verbally as we'll as
fistically. In the second round they
mauled each other with such .fervent
emotion that the police broke up the
contest over the girls heart.
There was no decision" Poor little
Mael Now she will have to decide
for herself.
During the contest a slim girl stood
near the door OF Dreamland rink-was
she little Mae Burns, the cigarette
maker?

BOGUS SOLICITOR
TRAILS VEN|REMAN
Prospective Calhoun Juror Tells
of Effort to Learn His
Views of Case

That insidious means OF approaching
or sounding veniremen in the Calhoun
case have already been practiced be-
came known yesterday when Frank A.
Ferry. hay dealer of 1867 Van Ness
avenue, a member of the jury panel,
told of a mysterious stranger. who,
in the guise of newspaper solicitor.
sought out Ferry's brother, John Ferry
and engaged him in conversation re-
garding the graft case When the in
truder saw Ferry he fed
The case was reported to Special
Agent William ]. Burns yesterday and
an investigation was begun.
1--WE intend that this trial shall be
freet from any suggestion of wrong
doing on the part of any one and we
shall see that it is" said Burns last
evening. II am confident that any
man proved to have tried to reach or
influence any juror will receive sum-
mary punishment"
Regarding the attempt made to reach
him through his brother Ferry said:
II left the courtroom yesterday to
go home for luncheon. 1 noticed that
man was following me. 1 stood in
the doorway of my place in the shadow
and he walked in. evidently not seeing
me there, and passed on. going directly
to my brother, who was sitting at his
desk with his back to the doorway.
The stranger presented himself as a
solicitor for a morning paper and
started to question my brother about
the journals he read, skiIlfully leading
up to the issues of the graft cases.
Then he suddenly saw me and forgot
all about his pretended business and
hurried away He did not continue his
role as a solicitor Instead of making
his bluff good by going to other houses
in the neighborhood- he hurried down
Van Ness avenue.
s'When 1 reached court this morning
1 looked for him. but could not md
him among the hangers-on. The man
was short and had light brown hair L
might be able to identify him IL 1 saw
him again
Ferry was examined yesterday morn
ing regarding his qualifications to sit
on the jury and was excused after a
brief Inquiry by the attorneys.

Only First Man Passed

Could the result have been foreseen
adjournment might just as well have
ben taken at 10 o'clock in the morning
as at o'clock in the afternoon. for tt
was the first man to be examined in. the
morning whose deed to a chair in the
jury box proved 1awless. The rest oe
the day was given over to the grad
ual elimination OF possibilities.
Walter L. Baskette of 1924 Califor-
MIA street. book keeper employed by
the firm OF W. P. Fuller & Co.. was the
additional talesman chosen to serve
through the preliminary stage. His ex-
animation gave rise TO the only bit
OF friction that enlivened the days
proceedings. and the resulting glow
OF excitement may have acted as a
tonic on the nerves of the attorneys
and had something TO GO with his ac-
ceptance without challenge. After the
warmth had passed the atmosphere set
tied to an unbrOken calm. the lawyers
became grumpy and the other talesmen
found no favor in their eyes.

Two Months to Get Jurx

Trying 1t in another way the an
swer is that 1t will require something
over two months to finish the Job which
lies before the attorneys in the present
case. The goddess of chance is nckle,
and her laws. like most Of those in the
statute books. are subject to unex-
pected twists. So. OF course, figures
furnish no conclusive standard In
any event. however. the developments
of the week indicate that the rainy
season probably will be well on tho
wane before the first witness against
the president of the United Railroads
is called to the stand in Judge LawIor's
court.
In one respect there was mors
progress in the case yesterday than on
any previous day. for 20 talesmen were
examined as against the record OF II
achieved Thursday. At that the day
was shortened by an early adjourn

Quotes Letter to Senate

President Roosevelt quotes from a
letter he wrote on March IS, 1908, to
the senate committee on commerce in
pursuance of policy declared in his
message Of February 26. 1908. In this
letter the president says:
Through lack of foresight we have
formed the habit of granting without
compensation extremely valuable
rights, amounting to monopolies, on
navigable streams and on the public do
main.
'The repurchase at great expense OF
water rights, thus carelessly given
away without return, has already begun
in the east. and before long Will be
necessary in the west also.
mo rights involving water power
should be granted to any corporation in
perpetuation, but only for length of
time sufficient to allow them to conduct
their business profitably
"a reasonable charge should. of
course, be made for valuable rights and
privileges which they obtain from the
national government The values for
which this charge is made will ulti-
mately. through the natural growth and
orderly development of our population
and industries, reach enormous

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-President
Roosevelt sent to the house today a
message vetoing a bill for the con-
struction of dam across James river
Missouri, by William H. Standish, de-
claring the measure did not contain
the conditions essential TO protect the
public interest. The president referred
to the control of water power sites
and said that more than 33 per cent OF
the total water power now in use
probably was controlled by 1s con-
Germs
This astonishing consolidation" said
the president, has taken place prac-
tically within the last five years.
The movement is still in its IN
fancy and unless controlled the his
tory of the oil industry will be re-
peated in the hydro electrical power in

Limitation in time OF the right con-

An amendment to the present bill
expressly authorizing the government
to fix a limitation of time and impose
a charge was proposed by the war de-
partment. but turned down by the
senate committee on commerce on the
ground that it was "a new departure
and not authorized by the power of the

behalf of the legality of such limita-

Death of w. L. McGee, ST.

Last Monday morning the dead body of w. l.. McGee. at one time wealthy stockman of this county, was found in a little cabin on Oak street, Kingman. He had evidently been dead but a short time when the little boy of l. ID. Hilty happened to glance through the open door and saw the body lying on the floor. J. N Cohenour went into the room and found that the man was dead. He reported the matter to the coroner and the body was removed to the undertaking rooms of Van Marter X Casteel, where an inquest was held. Witnesses at the inquest swore that McGee had been Respondent for the past year or more and 1t was feared that he had committed suicide, but nothing was found that would lead 10 that conclusion. The Jury found that death was due to causes unknown to the jury. The body was prepared for burial and taken to Blackberry, where it was inferred in tie local cemetery "Wednesday forenoon.
 Since the death of wife and favorite daughter a few years ago Mr. McGee has been Respondent and it is possible that this lead to some organic trouble causing his death suddenly. He leaves a son at Needles and a number of rel atives in this county. He was seventy years of age and was apparently hale and hearty man.
