Army Officer and Others Killed
With Cholera Germs

ST. PETERSBURG, June 5-The
mysterious death of a young and veal
thy army officer. Count Bouturlin, has
led to the discovery of an extensive

ko, who attended Bouturlin at De
Lassy's suggestion, are both under ar
rest. DR.. Patchenko has confessed to

other wealthy persons in a similar
manner during the recent cholera cpl
demic. under pretense of inoculating
them against the disease. For this
work he was paid huge sums by rela-
tives of the victims.
BY a strange coincidence, the m11r-
der of wealthy Polish land owner

AIRSHIP SPEEDS
OVER BERKELEY
Patrolman Reports Having Seen
Strange Craft Over House
tops in Early Morning
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

BERKELEY, June 5.--An airship
flew over Berkeley at 8 o'clock this
morning, red lights at the front and
back of the body marking its passage
through the air. Such. at least. is the
report which Patrolman Clarence Nor
rilI made to police headquarters last
night and reasserted when seen today.
He said his attention was called to the
aeroplane by the throbbing of its en-
gines as the dimly lighted craft sped
toward South Berkeley. Morrill, thinks
the machine was that built by L. Bry-
ant, an expert mechanic, and T. l.
Fortney, an automobileman of West
Berkeley. Guarding their work for
weeks, the men had completed mono
plane constructed on the model of HUI
bert Lathams famous "Antoinette,' .
with which the noted French aviator
set world records.
The monoplane was kept locked in a
shed at San Pablo avenue and Dwight
way, and it was learned yesterday that
the aeroplanists planned a trial flight.
They told some of their friends in con-
fidence that they had already installed
an engine, tested the mechanism. had
learned the limitations of their fragile
craft, and had acquired by lifting the
machine from the ground by its own
power at night the knack of balancing
the monoplane The craftsmen, it is
said. planned a night trial for secrecy
and because of the still air in the
early mornings.
Morrill, the patro1men, knew of these
preparations, and he said when he
heard the whirring Of the engine this
morning he was certain the aviators
were trying their contrivance.
He said the lights. from the center
of which came the engines throbs. rose
near the shed in which Bryant and
Fortney store their machine. He was
at some distance, however. and OBJ
served the supposed flight for few
minutes only. He did not see the ma
chine return, if it did, because his view
was soon obstructed.
When Investigation was made today
the monop1ane was in its place, but the
engine had been removed. Morrill,
thinks this was done when the fight
was ended.
Both Bryant and Fortney left town
this morning, but were not seen to
leave the she'd AT their homes it was
said they would not return until late.

MAUDE ADAMS HAS
SUNDAY REHEARSAL
Authorities of University Fear
Criticism for Holding Try-
out on Sabbath

BERKELEY, June with great Sc
crecy. lest the people of Berkeley
should rise in their wrath at the idea
of the affair being held on a Sunday
the cast of "As You Like It." to be
played in the Greek theater by Maude
Adams and her company tomorrow
night. held full dress rehearsal this
evening The chorus was rehearsed
this afternoon in the theater, and
crowds of wanderers on the campus. at
tracted by the sounds of music, ap-
peared on the scene. necessitating the
attendance of several special police
men to keep the theater clear Of the
crowds.
Prof. William Dallam Armes. chair
man of the musical and dramatic COM
mittee of the university, gave as his
reason for wishing the affair kept Sc
cret that the people of Berkeley might
not think it right that the rehearsals
should be held on Sunday and that the
university authorities could not well
afford to give offense or invite criticism
in any way.
I'VE do not want this rehearsal to
be talked about. as it might give Of
fense to some said Armes. Today is
the only day we had to rehearse, and it
is absolutely necessary that we do so,
but realize that there are some who
might criticise US if the fact were gen
orally known
The afternoon rehearsal was for the
most part given over to trying out the
choruses, while in the evening the cleo
trio lights to be used in the perform
ance were tested and the entrance Of
the actors arranged.
The decorations for the piece have
been installed in the theater. the stage
being bank of ferns and greens. Ac-
.cording to Professor Armes, under
whose directions the tickets have been
sold, not seat in the theater remains
for sale.

City's Powerful Foes

Our most powerful opponents are
the Illinois Central railroad, the United
fruit company, known as the Banana
trust, and the interests which are ba
ing the lakes to gulf waterway project.
They all have much influence, and every
member of congress has received from
10 to Is messages asking him to work
for New Orleans.
Eve have strong point in the fact
that San Francisco is a natural destina-
ton for those who will go through
the canal. while New Orleans has a
point in its nearness to the canal. But
if we keep up our fight we can not
help but win. Our friends are now
sending messages to congressman, and
that will help. President Taft, and, I
think, the speaker of the house. are
with us. There is little likelihood of a
decision until the December session of
congress"

Speaking of the contest on in WASH

san Francisco has one great ad-

be our chief point New Orleans has
only raised 100000 by popular sub
scription, and there is to be voted on
this fall constitutional amendment
bonding the state to raise $4,000, 900.
That entire sum is but little more than
San Francisco raised in a few moments,
and is much less shan San Francisco
now has subscribed. At the other ex-
position held in New Orleans the gov
ernment loaned the exposition $1,000
600, which has not yet been paid back,

more to buy medals for the foreign
