GOAT EATS BRANDY-LADEN
PUDDING-WOW! WH0OPEE!
Animal Wrecks Motorcycle and a
Wagon, Hurts Man and Riddles

SAN ANSELMO, Cal, Nov. 25.-The
kind of goat John is costs Sc. Yes
terday John ate Thanksgiving plum
pudding, the ingredients of which cost
$1,S9, became intoxicated and wrecked
a motorcycle which cost 5000, and a
red wagon costing 81, battered a man
into unconsciousness and frightened
two little girls into Mysteries. Johns
owner, l.. Moore of San Anselmo, says
he will sell him for 81.
If Mrs. Moore hadn't put brandy in
this pudding it wouldn't have hap
pened. She left the pudding in the
back yard to cool and John ate it.
Soon after, when hitched to the red
wagon for a drive by the little Moore
girls, Ethel and Gladys, he felt so
strongly the inIIation of the pudding
and the afflatus of the brandy that
he violently and without provocation,
attacked a motorcycle, ridden by Irv-
ing James, a real estate dealer.
The motorcycle crawled gallantly up

combat The machine was shoveled out
of the roadway a half-hour later and

GIRL FINDS BURGLAR IN
ROOM; SCREAMS; FAINTS
Guest in Home of Prof. MetCaIfe
in East Third Street Peeps
Down Pistol Barrel

While her friends were laughing and
chatting in the parlor downstairs, Miss
Marie Burns, 23 years DID, guest at
the home of Prof. F. S. Metcalfe, 1912
East Third street, entered her room on
the second floor at o'clock last night
and discovered a burglar looting the
place. The intruder leveled a revolver
at her and backed out of the room.
The shock was too great for her. She
screamed at the top of her voice and
fell in a swoon. The family rushed to
the scene in time to see the burglar
leap from a window and hurry away
in the darkness.
!. The discovery of the burglar was ac-
6fdental Miss Burns, whose home is
in the east and who is passing several
months with the family of Prof. Met
calfe, ran upstairs to her room to get
some souvenirs to show her friends.
She found the door ajar, but not think
ing anything of it entered the room
and turned on the lights. Almost at
the same moment she heard a gruff
voice and saw a man standing in front
of the dresser, the contents of which
were scattered on the floor.
Frightened almost speechless, the
young woman attempted to run out
of the room. The burglar evidently
anticipating this move, drew his re-
volver and in low tones ordered her to
keep quiet He then backed out of the
room, keeping her covered with the
weapon.
Miss Burns cry startled Prof. Met
calfe, who, with the family following
him, rushed upstairs in time to see
the intruder dash into the bathroom
and then leap from the window to the
ground, twenty feet below, and run
away in the darkness.
Instead of attempting to follow the
burglar they turned their attention to
the young woman, who recovered from
her fainting spell almost Immediately
and was in hysterical condition.
An investigation was made and it
was found that the burglar obtained
a diamond ring. two ruby rings, 81 in
money and wedding ring belonging
to Miss Burns mother.
The matter was reported to the east
side police station.

DELEGATES SCORE
WATERWAYS DELAY
President Kavanaugh at Conven-
ton in st. Louis Criticises
Attitude of Taft

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25.-Charges that
President Taft is growing Indifferent
toward a deeper waterway for the
Mississippi river, and contests between
states for representation on the COM
mittee, enlivened the first annual ses-
sion of the Lakes-to- -the-Gulf Deep
Waterway convention held here today
President w. K. Kavanaugh of the
association was cheered heartily by
the delegates during the reading of
his opening address when he declared
President Taft has mistaken the sem
timent of the nation.
The fight in the Illinois Republican
party came to the surface when the
delegation went into a caucus to elect
a representative on the resolutions
committee. Senator Lorimer's friends
selected Congressman H. T. Rainey
for this committee, and Governor
Deneen's followers announced they
had chosen Isham Randolph.
TUMULT DURING CONVENTION
When the factions reported efforts
were made to compromise on one man,
but without avail, and the scene bor-
dered on a riot. Delegates from other
states gathered when Governor De-

prevailed upon to move to far cor
ner After an hours wrangling 1t re-
ported that Isham Randolph had been
chosen for the resolutions committee
and Congressman Rainey for the nom
mating committee.
Isham Randolph of Chicago told the
convention the waterway question was
not a political one. He declared in
favor of fighting for the deepest chan
mel obtainable-if not fourteen feet,
then twelve or nine.
Edward A. Halsey of Chicago took
a positive stand in favor of a fourteen
foot channel, saying any one who did
not stand for channel of that depth
ought not to be considered water
way advocate. Governor Deneen ad-
vised the convention not to assume
defiant attitude in advance of the re-
port of the government engineers, who
have completed a survey of the
Mississippi waterway project.
without opposition Chicago was
chosen the next mee%Ing place Of the
convention.

j. s. ARMY WEAK,
SAYS CEN. WOOD
Chief of Staff Wants Better
Equipment and Reserve
Force of 100000

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Major
General Wood, chief of staff, paints a
gloomy picture of the lack of prepared
ness of the American army in case of
war; in his annual report, made public
today. There were weak spots in many
directions, he said. but most serious
was the shortage Of the field artillery
and ammunition. fault that should
be corrected Immediately.
General Wood said there was a great
lack of reserve seacoast ammunition,
and that, at the present rate of ap-
preparation by congress, it would take
more than fifty years to obtain a
reasonable supply for the coast defense
and a still longer time to obtain the
necessary field artillery and ammuni-
tion.
If the regular army and organized
militia at war strength. were called
to arms today, said General Wood,
there would be a shortage of more than
so per cent in the field artillery neces-
sary to equip them. This force would
represent only a portion of the men
called to arms in case of war with a
first class power.
General Wood strongly urged the
passage by congress of the pending bill
for raising a volunteer army in time
of war. He said this would cost moth
ing in time of peace, and would save
the government millions of dollars in
time of war.
other needs of the military service
were set out in the report. including
the addition of 610 officers to replace
those detailed from line duties for staff
and militia work.. the creation of re-
serve of not less than 10000 men who
have served in the regular army or
militia; the concentration of the army
in large posts: the establishment of
the canteen: the increase of the signal
corps. and the ACQUISITION of the aero
