UNLOADFD PISTOL
BLUFFS POLICEMAN
Woman Charged With Assault
Proves Weapon Was Harm
less and Is Released

OAKLAND, Dec 30.-That doughty
loaded revolver was the assertion made
and proved by Mrs. Mildred Adams of
Portland this morning In the police
court when she was examined on g
charge of assault with deadly weapon.
The woman's defense led to her dis
that pistol without cartridges in the
chambers is not deadly weapon un-
less used as a cudgel.
Mrs. Adams dismissal closes sem
sational police court episode. A warrant
was first issued for the arrest of Carey
Scott, a real estate agent charged with
misdemeanor embezzlement by his for
mer employers. O'Grady was detailed
to make the arrest and he traced Scott
to Mrs. Adams apartments at the St.
Regis house.
The policeman tapped at the door,
was met by Mrs. Adams, and when he
had explained his purpose had the door
shut in his face. Determined to vindi-
cate the majesty of the law, the police
man forced the door open. revolver,
held by the woman, confronted him,
and O'Grady obeyed the, curt order,

and arrested Mrs. Adams, whom he
caught at a telephone. That evening
Scott surrendered. In the police court
the real estate agent was discharged
and Mrs Adams, released on bail. was
ordered to appear for a preliminary
examination of the felony charge made
by OGrady. subsequently, she went to
the court to ask continuance. She
explained that her-divorce trial at Port
land had been set for the date of her
police court hearing. Her request was
granted; she went to Portland and re-
turned yesterday for today's hearing.
This morning she showed that the
pistol she intimidated O'Cirady with had
no cartridges in the chambers, al
though the magazine was filled. The
circumstances, according to Judge Sam

CASTS WIff'S DUST
TO WINDS ON PEAK
Judge R. B. Tappan Throws
WOman's Ashes From Urn
in Presence of Friend

ALAMEDA, Dec. S0-Riding on
horseback to the top of Redwood peak,
the highest elevation in the hills back
of Fruitvale, Judge r. B. Tappan
opened a copper urn containing the
ashes of his former wife, Emma Grant
Tappan, who died last week. and scat
tered the dust to the winds yesterday
afternoon. He spoke a few appropri-
ate words as he consigned the remains
of his former spouse to the elements
and turning his mount, rode down the
slope and returned to his home.
DR.. Norman Henderson, a friend of
the magistrate, accompanied him to
Redwood peak and was the only wit
ness to the ceremony.
Judge Tappan selected a beautiful
spot, from which a, magnificent view
could be had from all points of the
compass and about which the winds
ma agistrate flung the ashes to the
breezes he told his companion that
when he had responded to the final
summons it was his wish that his dust
should be thrown broadcast from the
same peak.
At the funeral of Mrs. Tappan the
last words over her body were pro-
nounced by Judge Tappan in compH-
ance with her expressed desire. Judge
Tappan and Mrs. Tappan were divorced
nearly Is years prior TO her death. They

HOP SING FIGHTERS
MAY JOIN TONG WAR.
Appearance of Highbinders at
Hearing in Yee Murder Case
Seems OminOus

OAKLAND, Dec. 30-Indication that
the powerful Hop Sing tong, noted for
its belligerent proclivities, has been
drawn into the present war between
the Yee family and the On Yicks, was
given this morning when a band of
Hop Sing hatchetmen attended the pre-
liminary examination of Ching Chong,
who is jointly accused with Ow Sing
Ock and Leon Bo of the murder of Yee
Hee, a member of the Yee family.
When the highbinder band invaded
the courtroom in East Oakland, JUS
tice Geary scented a possible outbreak
and ordered Constable William Allen
and several deputies to search the
Chinese. The order was fulfilled, but
it was found that the Celestials had
prudently discarded their revolvers be-
fore attending the hearing.
No ground was found for holding the
tongmens but their visit to the trial of
a man accused of the murder of a Yee
clansman is regarded as ominous by
the police, and steps were taken today
to guard against a fresh outbreak of
the tong wars.
All three of the Chinese on examina-
ton were bound over to the superior
court by Judge Geary. Their alleged
victim, Yee Hee, a Chinese artist was
found shot to death in a building at the
corner of Fifth and Webster streets on
November with six bullet wounds in
his body

DANIEL ANTONIO MACEO
JAILED FOR INSANITY
Poses as Only Living Son of
Cuban Patriot

Los ANGELES, Dec. 30.-Daniel An
tonic Maceo, who says he is the only
living son of General Antonio Maceo.
the Cuban patriot killed in the last
rebellion against Spain, is in jail here
today, awaiting the action of a lunacy
commission. He is a mulatto and came
here year ago representing himself
as the governor of Pinar del Rio" on
a tour inspecting consulates.
Latterly he has laid claim to various
grandee titles, among them duke de
Pinar del Rio under which he mar
ried his wife, a wealthy negress, on
whose complaint he was arrested She
declares he threatened to kill her.
Maceo first gained notorfety by offer
ing himself as a candidate for the
presidency of Cuba just before the cleo
tion of Gomez Immediately afterward
he was arrested in connection with the
promotion of the Ethiopian
steamship company, an Arizona cor
poration, authorized to sell capital
stock up to S2O.50O.000. He was ar
rested before much of that amount was
subscribed. but was released.

BARNET RETURNS
FROM BANDIT HUNT
Believes That Wounded Yegg=
man Is Still in Hiding in
San Jose

OAKLAND, Dec. 30.-Sheriff Barnet
returned to Oakland after having
spent three days in San Jose and its
environs hunting for the bandits who
were detected at Alvarado Sunday
morning in the act of preparing to
blow open the depot safe, and in par
ticular trying to land in his clutches
the man who was wounded in the run
ming fight that ensued at Niles.
The wounded yeggman is still at
large, though Barnet is of the opinion
that he is hiding in San Jose. Clew
after clew was run down by the sher-
iff and the San Jose police, and nu-
merous rumors were traced to their
sources, but the man who is wanted
by the authorities has not been seen
since he visited the Office of Dr. Nc
Mahon at Third and St. John streets
Monday, and asked for medical treat
ment for two bad bullet wounds. Bar
net is of the opinion that he is prob
ably in a San Jose lodging house,
where he has terrorized the keeper
into silence.
The search for the man will be con-
tinued by the San Jose police. 1t is
felt that there is little chance for him
to escape. considering his serious con-
dition. According to Doctor Mcmahon,
gangrene is almost certain to set in
in the mans wounds unless he is given
prompt medical attention.
1t is the opinion of the authorities
that the gang of which the three men
are members is a large and well or
ganized one, with members in many
places about the bay.
The hunt in the hills in the eastern
end of Alameda county has also been
given up. Deputy Sheriff Wales came
back to Oakland, after having secured
the country and watching means of
egress since Sunday. Constables Van
dervoort and Roderick have also gone
home. 1t is believed that the bandits
have reached shelter in some city,
where they may be concealed with
much greater safety than in the coun-

COUNTIES BORDERING on THE BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO
FSTIMATES.AGE OF
MOUNDS OF SHELLS
University Bulletin Issued by
Nelson c. Nelson Says Piles
Are $500 Years Old

BERKELEY. Dec. 30.-The age of the
she'll mounds of the prehistoric Indians
who inhabited the shores of the bay
which has been disputed by geOlogists
and archaeoIogists, has been estimated
at $500 years. according to the bulletin
lust issued from the university press by
Nelson c. Nelson. a member of the star
of the department of anthrOpOlogy. who
has been several years investigating
the mounds.
Nelson employed a unique method in
arriving at the probable age or the
mounds. As the piles are made or smells
and the Indians of this region are
known TO have been very fond OF she'll
fish he figures that the mounds were
made by the waste material OF their
eating. He declares that each Indian
required about so shellfish a day, and
as each mound was the prehistoric din
ing room of from 90 to 100 persons. an
accumulation of 1,200 inches of shells a
day resulted.
CHANGE IN BAY SHORES
The mound at Ellis landing is esti-
mated at 1850 900 cubic feet and Nell
son figures that the Indians would take
$500 years to deposit such a mound
As most Of the she'll mounds were
found to be located conveniently with
reference to food and water. Nelson de-
clared that the existence of mounds in
the interior far removed from these
necessities. proves that during the last
$500 years the bay shcre line has Un-
dergone a marked change.
Nelson SAYS that there are at least
425 mounds in the bay region. a greater
part lying on the west side OF the bay
between the Golden gate and Petaluma.
In many cases the mounds were found
to be built on foundations many feet
below high water mark. showing that
in the days of the prehistoric Indian
San Francisco bay was much lower
than al present.
ESTIMATE OF POPULATION
BY computing the size of the mounds
Nelson arrives at the conclusion that
Il. 900 Indians inhabited the bay region
while the mounds were building This
figure fits we'll with the calculation OF
Prof. J. C. Merriam, who recently said
that the population or the state at th..C
remote age was about 260. 900.
On account of the raDidity with which
the mounds are disappearing under the
advance of man the university author
tiles are gathering all possible data
relative to the mounds and -tnany inter-
esting volumes will be printed. A short
time ago Prof. j. G.. Merriam printed
an exhaustive work on Shell Mound

the Indians in the vicinity
