Men Who Shot at

and conviction of criminals. This MORN
ing the council passed a motion offer
ing $3.50 for the detection of the GRIM
fnals who shot at and attempted to

to be thugs who are operating in the
bay cities, and are thought by the po-
lice to be responsible for a series of
crimes in San Francisco
Waterbury halted three men. each
carrying a suitcase. at the corner of
Durant and Shattuck avenues, and de-
clared, after they refused to be ques-
toned, that they were under Arrest.
AS he turned to address the small
est of the men, he was shot at, at a
distance of but four feet, by the tall
est of the three, the bullet grazing his
chest.
He stepped back and fell over his
bicycle, whicb probably accounts for
his escape from the second shot fred at
him. The thugs then took to their
heels, running up Durant avenue.
suitcase was found, dropped by
one of the criminals, and on this slen-
der clew the police are endeavoring to
find them.

CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
REMOVES MANS SKIN
Application of Kerosene Causes
Visit to Hospital

OAKLAND, June 24.-Kerosene may
be a good cure for rheumatism, ]. D.
Peulina says, but 1t removes the skin
as we'll as the pain if used as lini-
ment. He went to the receiving hos
pital late last night, burning all over
because some joker had told him that
the best way to treat rheumatism was
TO rub coal oil into his skin.
Peulina had rheumatism in many
places, and having confidence in his
friend, he gave himself a vigorous rub
bing with kerosene when he went to
bed. He was relieved of his rheumatism
almost at once, blessed his friend and
dropped off to sleep.
He dreamed that he was being dipped
into a vat of boiling pitch by q giant
who would not let him alone. He woke
up burning all over. His arms and
legs were blistered and he donned his
clothes and ran to the hospital. When
he left he made for the home of his
friend who had advised him to use coal
oil.

Three Families Menaced
by Wreckage

OAKLAND. June 24-Three fats in
Broadway near Nineteenth street were
damaged, two families were put in
danger. and s. ". Daley, a plumber,

was preparing for luncheon. Her
younger daughter Hazel who is an in
valid. had just gone to the back door
al 1883 TO ask the plumber TO stop
the escape of gas
The explosion came just as Hazel
Canfeld placed her hand on the door
of her mothers fat. The shock threw
her of her feet, but she ran through
the ruined rooms 10 the front porch,
where she found her mother, partly
undressed. The force of the exploding
gas had broken in the room where
Mrs. Garfield stood, and had thrown
her TO the floor. The woman, nearly
suHocated by gas. had crawled to the
porch for fresh air.
Debris from the walls and ceiling
fell over the Nathanson family and
drove them into the street. They sup
posed that the flash of the explosion
had set the house afire and waited
until Policeman Charles Mccarthy
made an investigation before they re-
entered their damaged home.
DAILY ran down Broadway for a doc
tor and was seen no more either at
MS employers or at the damaged flats.
The, loss 10 the property caused by
the explosion viii be probably 500.

filipino MAKES
WELKIN ring
Thought He Was Once Again
Holding Forth in Leg
iSlative Halls.

District Court room and corridors
rang with choice Castlllian eloquence
at the close of the session of court
this morning. A Filipino giving his
name as Edil de Gussman was respon.
sible for fervent TRADE against
what he termed mistreatment at the
hands of the police.
Gussman made up the masculine
end of little tete tcte that was in
terrupted by an invasion OF officers
who armed with warrant placed
Gussman and Russian woman under
arrest charged with having commit
ted adultery.
Owing to the failure of certain i'm.
rOrtant witnesses to attend court
this morning. the preliminary hearing
was put over until tomorrow.
BEFORE leaving the stand. Gussman
declared that he had a complaint to
lodge against the police department,
alleging that he had not been treated
with respect due "a little brown
brother" so fondly designated by Pre-.
sident Taft.
When Judge Lymer permitted the
Filipino to make his statement the
man from Manila readily assumed the
attitude of ten-twenty.thirty cent
tradegian in depicting the role of pro-
tcctor of the innocents at narrowing
tank drama"
The basis of Gussman complaint
was that he had been ruthlessly drag
ged from his apartments without hav.
ing been given time to assume all
the various articles of dress that
should adorn an Illustrate and a gen,
tleman. AS II was Gussman appear,

coat cut along the ultra fashionable
lines persued by the diapers Of Tondo

Judge Lymer sniilingly accepted
the apology boisterously offered by
