bury, of whom the town is justly proud
Her versatility was never more clearly
manifested than in the variety of her
selections on this occasion, the heavy
scene from "The Cherry Riband," DR..
Drummond's dainty lyric, "De Snow
Bird" and the several dialects and i'm
presentations used in her other selections.
Mrs. Richmonds piano solo was very
highly praised by the musical critics
present. Her playing of the different
music of Chopin was marvellous and de.
lighted all. Mrs. Cross was in splendid
voice and her rendering of group of
songs of different range showed the
wonderful quality of her voice.

DeacOneSS at Grace Church.
Miss KahlO of Detroit Has Begun Work
as Helper to Rev. ]. M. Frost.

Probably very few people outside the
congregation of Grace Methodist church
have realized the rapid growth of that
denomination during the past few years.
The great improvements made IN the
church edihce last summer, involving
large outlay of money, were appreciated
by all but were really only an outward
manifestation of the growth of the con-
gregation. The church now numbers 400
members and has nearly 20O0 names on
its parish list Such a congregation
makes demands on its pastor that can
not possibly be met by one man, To aid
Rev. !. M. Frost in his labors the church
decided to employ a deaconess for six
months, and she is now making her
home at % Central street.
Miss Ida l.. Kahlo the deaconess Sc
cured, was born in German Methodist
home in northwestern Ohio. She lived
in Toledo until taking up her life work.
Soon after her conversion during a series
of evangelistic meetings conducted by
Mr.. Mulhall, she became a member OF

admirably for work in any field. Surely
Grace Methodist church is to be con-

BERKELEY. July 12.-Sigmund n.
Wyckoff, a Berkeley high school stu
dent, and J. X. Fuller, student of the
university, risked their lives early yes
terday morning in an attempt to save
the Lakeside Park hotel on the banks

ceived in this city. Both fought the
flames desperately from the roof Of the
hotel and were badly burned about the
hands.
The fire broke out in the wing of
the hotel shortly after o'clock yester-
day morning and was blazing furnace
in short time. Undaunted by the
fleeing of the guests. Wyckoff and Full
Ter mounted the roof of the building
and played big fire hose on the burn
ing timbers.
They were twice driven from their
perilous position by the intense heat.
and Wyckoff was nearly suffocated as
he stood on the roof The proprietor
OF the hotel, seeing that the flames were
beyond all control, asked the lads TO
come down from the roof, but they re-
fused. and after battling with the
flames for more than an hour succeeded
in saving the social hall from descruc-
ton, and bringing the fire loss down
several thousand dollars.
Wyckon is the son of s. n. Wyckoff
of the First national bank of this city
and is well known here. Fuller is a
we'll known tennis player and athlete
of the university. Neither of the boys
was seriously injured.

LADORFR ACCUSED
OF THREATS TO KILL
Section Hand QuarreIs With
Bosses and Lands in
Jail

OAKLAND, July 12.-Joseph French,
a laborer for the Western Pacific rail-
way, is being held in detinue at the
city jail because of alleged threats to
kill his bosses if they did not add $11
to his pay check which he cashed this
morning in San Francisco after leaving
his job.
He was arrested by Police Sergeant
McCloud at the city prison, where he
went to ask for advice. Just before
then he had quarreled with Eugene
Sullivan, his foreman, and with ]. E.
Ridell, the time keeper at the Western
Pacific headquarters, First and Adeline
streets
French denied that he intended to
Spill blood or even declared himself to
De on the warpath. In a vehement eX-
planation to Captain of Detectives Pc
tersen he averred that his threatened
redress was a civil suit, and that his
broken English was interpreted to
mean revenge by murder.
In May French worked with rail
laying crew as "strapper," for which
his wages were 81 a day. He left the
companys employ and on returning
went back to a section gang at $1.75
a day. 1t remained on his mind that
ne was still a 81 man and he COM
puted his drawdown accordingly.
This morning Foreman Sullivan dis
charged him for fractions behavior
and French at once got his time check
from Ridell. He went across the bay,
obtained his money and came back
angry, believing he had been ilched
out of the difference between 81 and
$1.75 for each days labor. He quar-
relied with RidelI and Sullivan and
finolly left the camp at First and Ade-
line He told his tale to a patrolman,
who mistook the nature of French S
grievance and, directed the man to the
police station to get advice.
Sergeant McCloud and Patrolman n
McKeegan say the conversation was
like this:
L will shoot them if they keep my
money" yelled French.
Would you shoot a human being
for SLIP asked the sergeant.
Il would shoot a whole roomful" re-
turned the Canadian.
Kill a man because you wanted
more pay?" persisted McCloud.
The laborer answered, Yes"
French was then placed under arrest.
He didn't threaten me-" said Ridell,
who is wearing a pistol in his pocket.
French threatened Sullivan, the fore
man. and left here to buy gun, but
ne got TO the ponce SLallOn 20 COM
plain. There he said it was not Sulli-
van but me he would kill. l looked over
the books and find French received his
full pay for the work he did. He
thought differently
Il am in JAIL said French, because
I said 1 would sue. The sergeant he
no understand me and thinks | say
shoot when l say sue l shoot no.
body, but l sue for my $11."
Captain of Detectives Petersen said,
after talking to French: Il am in
clined to believe the man did not
threaten to kill his bosses. He may
have got excited at the station and
said So but his words are so inco-
herent it is difficult to understand his
statements"
The police will hold the aggrieve ed
man until tomorrow morning to inves-
tigate further. Sullivan or Ridell will
take up the affair with the officers.

WILL ASK PURCHASE
|. OF CITY CRFMATORY
Berkeley Council to Propose
Bonds for Site and Building
for Incinerat0r

BERKELEY, July 12.-If the recon-
mendations of the new city council are
we'll received by the people, the garbage
question. which has given more bother
than almost any civic problem of the
last five years, will be thing of the
past. Plans were discussed by the coun-
Gil in informal session this morning for
the submission to the people of bonds
of about 100000 for the building of an
incinerator for the destruction of the
garbage of this city.
Should the plan carry, and in view
of the recent garbage disposal troubles
there seems to be little doubt of the
favorable action of the voters, the city
will have crematory which will do
away with the Oakland plan of haul
ing the garbage to sea and prevent a
recurrence here of the shotgun days,
when the scavengers were stood up at
the dumps and prevented by the peo-
pie from dumping refuse in West
Berkeley and Ocean View.
Councilman Mcclure suggested the
incinerator idea, and his plan met with
the favorable response of the council
According to his scheme the scavengers
will do the hauling to the city crema
tory and pay the city a tax for the
privilege of burning the garbage there.
This fee will more than pay the ex-
penses of the incinerating plant, which
will cost the city nothing for operation
after its initial cost of installation.
The council is also in favor of
central location for the incinerator site.

but Master Among Masters

the works of his contemporaries was
the statement made tonight by Prof.
Frederick Mortimer Clapp, Florentine
scholar and lecturer at the university
summer session. during the course of
an address on Raphael at Hearst hall.
The lecture was largely attended.
DR.. Clapp said that he did not at
tempt 10 decry the painter and the
artist, as he considered him a master
in an age of masters and a man whose
