STRAY SHOT HITS
GASTON N. ASnF
Following Accident Attorney Is
Put Through the "Third
Degree"
Victim of VOlley Flags Police
men Who Connect Him
With Crime

A painful wound from a stray bullet
because of policeman's careless aim
did not anger CASTOR NJ. Ashe very
much early yesterday morning, but
when the peace guardian later invaded
his apartments and put him through
the third degree" on suspicion of
being highwayman the well known
lawyer stated voluminous objections in
vigorous and picturesque language. AS
result it quickly came to light that
the attorney was the only one wounded
in running fight which took place at
Geary and Leavenworth streets late
Saturday night, when several policemen
gave chase to two suspicious charac-
ters and exchanged voIley of shots
Ashe, with his friend, John T. Thorn
ton, another attorney, had taken dinner
at downtown cafe and later kept a
business engagement, after which they
decided to walk out Geary street to the
formers residence at the Claire apart
ments Approaching Leavenworth
street at about f1:15 o'clock, the two
attorneys heard a fusillade of shots,
six being fired in rapid succession.
After a pause two more shots were
fired in quick succession. Finally as
another single report rang out Ashe
staggered against Thornton, excIaim-
ing:
JACK, L nave been hit.
Thornton Immediately took hold of his
friend, who was suffering great pain
in his right lung and shoulder. and
started toward Van Ness avenue to
secure a doctor AS they crossed
Leavenworth street the taller of two
men being chased by the officers dashed
In front of them and into a vacant lot
opposite the Bohemian club.
Ashes physician was summoned by
q aInr lhora
taken to his apartments. Thornton
quickly cut away the clothing about
the upper portion of the body and
found that the bullet had entered just
above the lobe of the right lung rang
ing downward, and emerging below the
shoulder blade. The bullet, .3S caliber,
after piercing Ashes body. lodged in
his clothing.
While the injured man was suffer-
Ing great pain and waiting for the
physician the policemen who had been
pursuing the suspected highwaymen
pushed open the door of the apart
ment and entered, keeping their hands
on their revolvers. They began to
question the wounded man regarding
himself, when Ashe. suddenly noticing
their suspicious tone and menacing ac-
tions, turned loose a flood of invective
that made the rafters squeak. The
mistaken policemen hurriedly apollo
gized and Ashe not only forgave them
for hitting him with a bullet, but also
laughed over their suspicion that he
was a highwayman.
The wound sustained by the attorney.
although very painful, is not considered
serious unless from the danger of in
lection.
The two fugitives whom the police
had been pursuing after they had at
tempted to rob man in a saloon in
the vicinity made good their escape.

CHARITY FETE TO
CHARM AUDIENCE
Living Representations of Old
Masterpieces Will Form
Artistic Pictures

From every tandpoint-artistic, mu-
sical and educational-to those who
have not kept up with their art studies,
the tableaux vivants at the st. Francis
Tuesday and Wednesday nights, prom
ises to surpass anything ever before
held in this city in the name of char
ity, and from present indications quite
large sum will be netted for the
Armitage orphanage in San Mateo
The costumes, resurrected from old
trunks and wardrobes and flower
wreathed or trimmed to suit the origi-
nal pictures for which they will be
worn, will be not the least beautiful
part of the performance as they go
back a century or two and show the
styles that prevailed in the days of the
famous French queen, Marie Antoinette,
and even farther back, to the time
when Nell Gwyn was renowned as the
greatest beauty of her day. Her por-
trait, as painted by Sir Peter Lely. with
her favorite lamb under her arm, will
be posed by Mrs George A. Pope, who
bears strong resemblance to the great
original in her demiblonde coloring.
This will be one of the most beautiful
of the living pictures, although it is
really difficulty to make a choice, as.
with so many celebrated French and
English portraits shown, with the ap-
propriate old world gowning, each
tableau represented will outrivaI the
preceding one.
1t has been definitely decided that
Miss Claire Nichols will take the place
of Mrs. Lloyd Baldwin in. THE Broken
Pitcher. Two or three other changes
have also had to be made at the last
moment, but the 80 pictures, perfect in
detail and finish, will be run with the
fitting music as originally planned.

OAKLAND. April Goddard Gale.
head Of the department of drawing at
the manual training and polytechnic
high school and an artist who has won
high commendation in this country and
distinction in London and Paris, thinks
that the prevailing method Of teaching
drawing in the grammar schools in
hopeless.
The situation is simply this" he
said that in San Francisco, and in the
rest of the state for that matter. they
are trying to teach drawing to the
grammar school pupils through teach
ers who know nothing of it, The at
tempt is valueless. The result is almost
nothing
The way we do where L instruct, and
the way in most high schools. is when
pupils come from the grammar schools
with eight years of drawing lessons
we start them at the beginning. They
know nothing. and we must drill them
an first principles before we can go
ahead.
The failure of the system. as I said.
is due TO the attempt to convey instruc-
ton from the qualified drawing teacher

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Somerlot created favorable impression
on first base. He handles thrown balls
we'll and has a strong arm. At the plate
he showed a tendency TO chase a curve
oall, but always withheld his bat In time
McAIeer Will give him thorough trial.
1t was a pleasure TO see John Henry
work behind the bat. 81 believe he will
be one OF the greatest eatchers in tho
business" McAleer said. land the way he
worked to-day bore out the assertion.
In the fourth. Somerlot saved Elber-
field an error on Lathers' drive when he
dug half-hop out OF thes ground. Somer-
lot seems TO field a low thrown ball just
as easily as one that comes in the air.
Gcssler tried 10 steal home in the fifth
inning. He had a good start. Two men
were out, and Henry famed on the ball.
.Gessler ran on. Casey made the play
anyhow. and Gessler would have been
out by a few inches. had not Henry al
ready famed.
Moriarity was in hard luck in the
eighth He drove liner against the left
field bleachers with a Tesounding smack.
II hoped back straight 10 Ralston and
Morry was credited with only a single.
Tom Jones single in the eighth that
resulted in a run was a hard hit ball that
struck in front OF Elberfeld and bounced
over his head when he was ready 10
make a play.
Fast fielding by D. Jones saved the
game for Detroit in the eleventh. Somer-
lots single bounced past Moriarity and
bore all the ear-marks of a two-baser.
D. Jones held # 10 a single, however.
Walker followed with a hit that would
have scored SOmerlot from second had
he gone that far on his own effort.
