KNIFE and PISTOL
DUEL over WOMAN
Ramon NaredO Is Slashed From
Thigh to Throat by Rival,
Marcisco Ramirez
Dying Man Declares That He
Was Summoned From House
and Assailant Fled

Cut and gashed from thigh to throat
Ramon Naredo lies at the central
emergency hospital, the victim of a
stiletto welded with deadly effect by
Marciso Ramirez, his rival the police
declare, for the affections of woman
living at Laguna and Benton streets.
The affray, which developed into pis-
tol and knife duel, took place on the
back porch of building at 3405 La
guna street at $50 yesterday morning.
Leaving Naredo quivering from more
than a dozen knife wounds, Ramirez
fled, and Detectives Sullivan and Drou-
lett have been put ON his trail.
Deputy District Attorney M. ]. Roche
obtained statement from Naredo
while on the operating table at the hos
pital, having been summoned by DR..
j. w. Callnon, who does not believe
that Naredo will live.
The dying man declared that he was
visiting at the house where the fight
took place. Ramirez stood on the rear
porch and called for him, but Naredo
at first paid no attention. Finally he
went, and after a short conversation
returned, only to be called out again
by the threats of Ramirez. This time
Naredo took a pistol with him, and
when he realized hat he was being cut
he discharged the weapon twice. Ram
irez left when he thought he had killed
Naredo.
Both men are Mexicans living in the
Latin quarter. Ramirez, who is also
known as Joe Williams, has been in
trouble before. He has a friend or
relative named Josephine Sanchez who
resides somewhere near the city. This
is the only clew the police have as to
his possible movements, except the fact
that he intended to go to Alaska on a
boat leaving today.

as Murray, fireman who lost his life
while lighting the flames in the big
fire Of January, 1855, was knocked down
in the earthquake Of 1906 and is now in
a ruined condition. Sidney Van Wyck
Jr. has written TO the supervisors re-
questing that it be restored and a
fitting tribute paid to the city's hon

Murray was 2e years old and met a
heroic death January 81, 1855. while

wiped ~out the business section Of the
city. He was buried in Mission Dolores
cemetery. and in honor of his memory
the city erected a handsome monument
over his grave.
Next 10 his grave lies that of Casey,
the man who, with Cora, was hanged by
the vigilantes. This grave also has a
monument erected over 1t, and, by a
strange coincidence, the earthquake

CONVENTION Will
INDORSE TUNNEL
Mass Meeting Called to Give
Further Impetus to Twin
Peaks Project
New Organization Representing
90 Clubs Will Approve ALI
Civic Improvements

Final plans for the big convention
to be held tonight at 2121 Market
street for furthering the Twin peaks
tunnel project have been completed
and the indications are that the as
sembly will be one of the largest and
most important ever called in this city
for the object of civic Improvement.
More than so improvement clubs,
each sending three or more delegates,
Will be represented. These will come
from all sections of San Francisco. The
Richmond and the other outlying dis
trlctS have taken up the project with
as much enthusiasm as those which
Will be directly affected by the building
of the tunnel, the common sentiment
being that the proposition is one that
VIII better the community as whole
and draw to San Francisco thousands
who are making their homes in nearby
towns.
The last meeting of the committee
on organization was held Friday even
ing, when the movement formally
adopted the name of the Twin Peaks
tunnel and Improvement convention.
One of the features of the convention
will be the emphasis laid on the fact
that it is not created solely for the
building of the Twin peaks tunnel,
but for civic improvement generally,
and particularly toward uniting the
various civic organizations.
The three plans for the building of
the tunnel, which will be mentioned
at the convention, are by bond issue,
by 10 year assessment district plan
and by the offering of special induce
ment to private capital to undertake
the enterprise. A number of speakers
will address the convention, and sta
tiSt1cS Will be given which show the
assessed valuation of properties affect
ed. The plan is to have the convention
start immediate work, SO that the tun-
mel may be built before the opening of
the Panama canal and the onrush of
population which will follow.

AWAKE 20 YEARS; DIES
WHEN HE FALLS ASLEEP

Hackettstown. Alonzo Wire,
famous for 20 years as the sleepless
policeman, passed quickly in to final
sleep last night. Twenty years ago
Wire was struck by lightning. The
shock deprived him at first of his
speech and his hearing and when he
subsequently regained them left
some subtle arrangement of the ner-
vous system which prevented him
from sleeping. Doctors who heard
of his case made elaborate tests, but
they never caught him mapping, and
at last his assertion that he never
slept gained gradual credence. He
used to lie down to rest his body,
but his eyes remained open and his
brain always active. Although new
er fully at rest, his health seemed
unimpaired until he was attacked by
the bronchial asthma, from which
he died.
Two nights before he died he
called his wife to the bedside.
Thank heaven" he said, II think
Pm going to fall asleep" He never
wakened.

Victoria, B. c., June 29.-That
times are very bad in Australia, that
hundreds of men are out of work,

take a long time for the country to

bad in the country, and that It is
no place at present for any one seek
ing investments or employment is his
impression. He says that at New
Castle there are still very many yes
sells laid up waiting for coal, and
that IL will take some time before the
business assumes its normal aspect.
The present labor government does
not inspire confidence. because they
are borrowing money with which to
pay the interest on past loans, q

JEWELRY
LOST ON THE
STEAM Err
AND OTHER JEWEL
RY DISAPPEARS ON THE TRIP
OF THE STEAMER MARIANA
FROM HONOLULU TO VIC
TORIA.
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1Rn.l

Victoria, B. c., June 29.-Some
very valuable diamonds and other
jewelry were stolen aboard the
steamer Mariana which arrived here
last night. There were all sorts of
vague rumors going around last
night in regard to the affair but moth
ing definite could be ascertained.
Contrary to custom, the steamer was
held here from O'Clock last night
until midday today, delaying the
mails and causing some of the pas
sengers serious inconvenience.
Up to noon three arrests had been
made, although it was admitted that
a gang of crooks had been operating.
There seems to be some doubt as to
whether the robbery did not take
place at Sydney before the departure
of the vessels. Shortly after the
steamer departed a very valuable
case of jewelry including some very
fine diamonds was missed and up
to the present time has not been re-
covered. The opinion seems to be
general that the valuables may have
been taken ashore at Sydney, Brls-
bane, Suva or Honolulu.
Captain Moresby makes light CT
the matter, saying that 1t was nat
ural that with list of several hun
dred passengers things should be
lost.

Berlin, June -Heartbroken
bunt undaunted by the wreck of the
aerial liner Deutschland, Count Yep
pelin, its inventor, announced today
that he will at once construct an aer-
ship half the size of the Deutschland
but with carrying capacity of 40
passengers.
Manager 'Colemand of the German
Aership company which conducted
the trips of the Deutschland, said the
fate of the big liner would not alter
the company's plans for passenger
air lines.
"No airship of another type would
have dared to ascend in such a wind

Nothing like that. johnson is

self into a question of endurance.
If jeff is there as good as he looks
when he works there will be nothing
to it. I figure that under these con-
ditions Johnson will last about 80
rounds"
And so on ad infinitum.
Gather a bunch of fans of the
Jeffries' persuasion and that's the
sort of talk you will hear jeff will
win in one round, six rounds, Is
rounds, 20 rounds or 80 rounds.
Never has opinion as to the duration
of big fight been so varying with
the ultimate result so certainly fixed
in the minds of the judges. Even
in Jeff's camp the picking of rounds
is as widely at variance as the selec-
tion of the winning number on the
roulette tables that one may discov-
er with a little effort and the aid of
the cappers.
To those with a merely superficial
knowledge of what a boxer should
do, the work of the big fellows is
quite puzzle. jeff is loafing too
much, they think, unmindful of the
vast amount of labor he has gone
through. On the other hand, they
think Johnson is digging in too
hard, forgetting that he has not ap-
piled himself until within the past
few weeks.
Cutting into the low down, the
many unusual training phases of
this contest are enough to put the
sternest conditioning mathematician
to the bad. JEFF passes the word
that he is going to work his head
off. Instead he lays around and
chats in the morning and winds up
the day with a little joust with the
trout. Johnson, with a program of
loafing, tears into his work like
colored brother trying to depopulate
the entire chicken world. It's fun
ny game from any angle and many
will be surprised when the
battle ends Monday.

Washington Farmers Show Great
Faith in Grain Market.
Dayton, Wash, June 29.-Refus-
ing offers of one dollar a bushel for
wheat to be harvested this fall, in
fact of the fact that the present
market price here is 80 cents, and
that the average selling price for
the last Is years has been little
above SO cents, farmers of Colum-
bia county are showing exceptional
faith in the future of the grain mar
ket.
The quality of the growing wheat
is by no means certain as yet, but
this has not deferred one local buyer
from offering 81. Daniel Hillhouse,
who expects to harvest a crop of
2 1000 bushels of wheat, is one farm
er here who today ignored the 81
offer from local buyer. There
seems to be a general understanding
among farmers here that 81 for
wheat is to be refused, for no sales
have been made, despite the flatter-
ing boost of the market.

Washington, June 29.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission today
ordered reductions averaging % per
cent in trans-continental railroad
freight rates in an important series
of decisions based upon complaints
from Spokane, Portland, the Nevada
railroad commission and the Salt
Lake Chamber of Commerce.
The largest reductions are made
in rates in territory from the Pacific
coast to the Missouri river.
Following the decision of the COM
mission the railroads interested
filed a petition for re-hearing of the
Missouri river rate cases in the
United States supreme court. The
petition acts as a stay on the action
of the commission until October,
when the petition for a re-hearing
will be considered by the supreme
court.
The following class of rates or
dered in the Spokane case indicate
the effect Of the decision:
From Missouri river points to
Spokane, $3.50 per hundred pounds.
From Mississippi river points to
Spokane, $3.50.
From Chicago, $3.50; from Gin
cinnati and Detroit, $3.O5; from
Pittsburg, 1929, and from New
York, $3.50.
In the case of the Portland and
Seattle Chambers of Commerce a re-
duction of 20 per cent was ordered
in class rates on shipments from
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland to
points in Washington, Oregon, Ida
no, Montana and the interior.
A reduction in passenger rates
was made by the commission as fol-
lows:
Between Salt Lake City or Provo.
Utah, and Los Angeles, to $25.
Between ogden and San Francisco
S24.69; between Provo and San
Francisco, $26,S4.
In the case Of the traffic bureau
of the Sacramento merchants ex-
chs1lge the rates are reduced be-
tween Sacramento and Reno from
$1.29 per 100 pounds to S5 cents
and to points east of Reno cores
ponding reductions are made.
In the case of Arizona shippers
against the Santa Fe road rates to
and from western points are cut
nearly one-third.
The present rate Of $1.15 on ship
ments of oranges, lemons and other
fruit from California points is re-
duced to 81.
In the case of the Nevada railroad
commission against the Southern Pa
cific and other railroads the present
class rates of $4.29 per hundred
from Denver to Nevada cities and
from all points east are reduced as
follows:
From Denver, $40; Grand Island,
Neb., $3.50; Omaha, $2.2O; Chicago,
$3.50; Toledo, s9.O5; Buffalo, $500,
and New York $3.50.
Reductions were made In almost
every case in which Washington ship
pers made complaint. The decision
OF the commission in the Spokane
rate case was that present rates were
excessive. rhe commission held that
Spokane shippers should not be re-
quired to pay the rate for shipping
freight to Spokane from Eastern
points plus the rate from Spokane TO
the Pacific coast
A similar decision was rendered 70
the so-ealled Reno case, IN which
shippers Of Keno Sacramento and
Utah points complained that they
were compelled TO pay Pacific coast
terminal rates.
