SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-Oi yoi!
Here's a scream. 1t came in this morn

it was written by an Oakland fan:
Dear Editor-There has been so much
discussion about Stanley Ketchefs ma
tionality and his right name that | am
going to take it upon myself to relieve
the pubIic's mind and slip you the right
dope. 1t has been stated that he is
Russian. a Pole. a Slovenian and a
Hungarian. but everybody seems to
have overlooked the fact that he is a
direct descendant of a gypsy king.
That's right Stanley has royal blood
flowing through his veins His great
grandfather was the king" of a band of
Hungarian gypsies, but late in life gave
nm is nomadic job and settled in Rus
STA where Ketchers grandfather and
father were born. Therefore. if STAN
lev had a mind to he could go to Hun
gary. gather the scattered descendants
of his great grandfathers band and set
himself up as a king
This Is Classy.
Now as to the champions right name.
In Hungarian it is pronounced as II is
in English. but the spelling is different
Here if is: K-e-c-z-L The comblna-

affair. he and Curlew are employed by
the city Rubbish company. and live
across the alley from each other.
Beeks said he was awakened about .
o'clock yesterday morning by hearing
his game rooster crow and by the bark
ing Of a dog in his yard. He grabbed
his revolver and hurried out to investi-
gate. According to his story, he saw
Curlew in the yard. Beeks called to
Curlew and the latter fired. Beeks
then fred at Curlew, who ran. Beeks
followed and Curlew again fired.
The men then fired several shots at
each other, and although both were
badly wounded, began TO run in the
same direction, each trying to escape
from the other.
Beeks was found TO have received a
bullet wound in the right hip and knee
and the bone was fractured.
Curlew was unable to make an in
telligent statement concerning the af-
fair but. according to Beeks, the for
mer was too friendly with the wife of
the latter.

DEATH FINALLY COMES
TO VICTIM OF BAD FALL
Baker Who Was Seriously Injured in
Saloon Saturday Night Shows
Remarkable Vitality

After struggling for life since Sat
urday night, Edward Escoln, a baker
of 40S1a Ord street, died last night a.
the county hospital as the result of a
fracture Of the skull, resulting from
what is said to have been fall down
the stairway Of the saloon adjacent to
the Burbank theater.
It is said that Escoln entered the
bar In a hurry Saturday night and
tripped on the first step leading to the
washroom, falling fifteen feet and
landing on his head. He was taken
to the receiving hospital and although
1t was thought he would die within a
few hours, he showed remarkable vi
tality, living until last night.
Detectives investigated the case and
reported that witnesses stated that the
man came to his injuries accidentally.
Nevertheless word of his death was
sent to the coroner's office and an in
quest will be held at Bresee brothers
undertaking parlors, where the body
was taken

ACCIDENTAL DEATH
IS FINAL VERDICT
CORONER DECIDES ON DEATH
OF YOUTH
Official States That Henry Brown
Came to His End Because of
Defective Tubing on
Gas Stove

Lying on a mattress close to a small
gas stove, the jets of which were leak
ing and allowing the gas to pour out,
the body of Henry Brown, not quite
~ years old. was found III the room
he occupied at the home of his broth
er-in-law. B. Eager, at 991 Temple
street, yesterday morning. The coro-
ner was notified and after making an
investigation pronounced it clear
case of accidental death and will prob
ably sign a certificate to that effect
without holding an inquest.
The young man, it seems, was re-
Gently released on probation from the
superior court, where he pleaded guilty
to a charge of stealing a pair of horses
from his father and disposing of them
for $780, Since that time has has made
his home with Eager who conducts a
meat market at 931 Temple street, oc-
cupying rooms in the rear of the shop.
According to Eager the lad retired as
usual Tuesday night He was cheerful
and made no remarks that would lead
to the belief that he contemplated sui
eide.
At first the coroner thought it was a
case of suicide. Eager was positive
that the lad did not end his own life
and insisted that the young man came
to his death as a result of an accident.
He persisted that the lad may have
felt cold during the night and removed
the mattress from the bed and placed
1t on the floor near the stove in order
to keep warm. He said the escape of
the gas might have been due to the
Jets not having been turned off com
pletely or that there was leak in
the stove.
AS there was no apparent motive for
suicide and owing to Eager persistlng
that death was due to an accident, a
further examination was made of the
room and it was found that the tube
attached to the stove was detective
and allowed the gas to escape in large
quantities.
The body was taken to the under
taking establishment of ]. D. Button
and the funeral arrangements will be
made later.

WEATHER GOD STILL
SENDING DOWN RAIN
SEASON ALREADY TWO INCHES
AHEAD OF LAST YEAR
Christmas Shoppers Brave Wet
Streets and Keep on Buying
in True Yuletide
Spirit

And still it rains. Almost two inches
ahead of last winters rainfall at TINS
time and the god of the weather still
is lowering around ready to pay his
LIQUID respects to the Christmas shop
pers on the slightest provocation. To
date this season 6.49 inches of moisture
has fallen. Last year at this time the
rainfall was 400.
For a while early yesterday morning
all hopes of the Christmas shoppers
for clear weather for the next few
days seemed to be realized when the
sun came out radantly and there were
few clouds in the sky.
BY noon the sun had disappeared and
dark clouds were in the skies. 1t was
then that those who had left their UNI
brellas at home began to worry. A
slow. light drizzle started about 1880
o'clock yesterday afternoon and con-
tinued we'll through the night. At
times it developed into steady down.
pour, but only for a few minutes. The
total amount of rain which fell between
noon and 3 o'clock was 10 of an inch.
The present storm is entirely local.
touching only the southern part OF the
coast. Fair weather from the north
has been reported for the last few
days.
In spite of the showers yesterday af-
ternoon and evening, Christmas shop
ping did not seem to be interfered
with in the least. From early morning
until the stores closed late in the even
ing steady streams of shoppers filed in
and out of the stores ndspicked their
way down the streets, lodging umbrel-
las and wading across the muddy
streets.
The showers have done no damage
and it is the consensus of opinion OF
the ranchers that the rain is most
beneficial and not in the least damag-
ing to the crops. They are all Jubilant
over the wet weather. No damage has
been reported resulting from the past
or present storms and the railroad
trains are all running on schedule
time. There has been no frost to
speak of. with the exception of Sunday
morning, when there was a hard coat
ing of frost on the housetops and side
walks
According to the weather forecast
made yesterday afternoon light show
ers are to be expected the next twelve
hours and possibly longer.
It is the opinion of the weather man
that the present storm, which has been
lingering here since Sunday will move
on by the end of the week and that no
other storm will visit Southern Cali
fornia until after Christmas. Drawing
our conclusions from this good
clear California day will be present on
Christmas.

TAX COLLECTIONS
LARGER THIS YEAR

Tax Collector Wilder has taken in
taxes up to date this year the sum of
$1,347, 0352S, exclusive of the special
two per cent income tax collections
made under the conservation and immi-
grafton act. The collections from the
latter amount approximately to $161,-
500. Of this amount three-fourths goes
to the immigration fund and the re-
naming one-fourth to the conservation
fund.
The collections under the income tax
this year. it is estimated, will be about
S1S0.00O in excess OF those of last year
The increase in the income tax exemp-
ton from $1,000 to $500. Assessor
Wilder estimates, will not reduce the
income tax receipts more than $4,000,
while better business conditions bring
the corporation income tax receipts
well above the total collected last year.

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens at Harvard where Col.
Rupsrt Winter, u. 8. A., visiting. saw the
suickae Of young Mercer. He met Cary
Mercer, brother of the dead student.
Three years later. in Chicago, in 1906,
Col Winter overheard Cary Mercer APP
parcntly planning to kidnap Archie, the
coloners ward, and to gain possession of
Aunt Rebecca Winters millions. A Miss
Smith was mentioned. apparently as
conspirator. Winter Unexpectedly met
relative, Mrs. Millicent Melville, who
told him that his Aunt Rebecca. Archie
and the latter's nurse, Miss Janet Smith,
were to leave for the west with the
colonel and Mrs. Melville. A great finan-
cial magnate was aboard the train on
which Col. Winter met his Aunt Rebec-
GA, Miss Smith and Archie. He set his
orderly. Sergt. Haley, to watch over Cary
Mercer. Col. Winter learned that the
financial magnate is Edwin S. Keatcham.
On approaching Cary Mercer, the colonel
was Snubbed
