BIG GYMNASIUM TO BE
BUILT FOR SODALITIES
Father Ildephonse of FruitvaIe
Plans Large Structure

OAKLAND, Nov. 25.-A gymnasium
100x150 feet with courts for indoor
baseball and basket ball, as well as all
manner of athletic equipment is to be
built opposite st. Elizabeth's Catholic
church in Bray avenue, Fruitvale, for
the use OF the members of the St.
Joseph's, ST. Francis and st. Alloy
sious' sodalities of the church
Rev. Father udephonse.. director Of
st. Joseph's sodality and an enthusi-
astic supporter of athletics, is the
originator of the plan. Property has
been leased from the Dominican Sisters.
The work on the structure is to be
done almost entirely by carpenters and
other artisans belonging to the three
sodalities, who have volunteered their
time and labor. BY this means the
cost of the building will be reduced
at least one-half, and it is estimated
that the total cost of the gymnasium
without the equipment will be between
81, 800 and $4,000.
The first entertainment to raise
funds for the building will be given
next Tuesday evening, November %,
when a turkey whist tournament will
be held in the temporary gymnasium
of st. Joseph's sodality, in the former
hall of the Fruitvale athletic club,
East Fourteenth street and Thirty
sixth avenue.

POLICE PREVENT
LYNCHING BY MOB
Hold Crowd Back With Pistols
and Jail Man Accused of
Assaulting Child

Holding crowd of 500 infuriated
citizens at bay with drawn revolvers,
Policeman James O'Connor and Detec-
tives Murphy and Jack Sullivan pre-
vented threatened lynching yesterday
afternoon and landed their prisoner
Nicholas Zivanovich, safely in the city
prison. Zivanovich was accused of at
tempting to assault year old Lucy
Perkocha, and when the news ives
spread throughout the neighborhood
the angry mob quickly gathered and
threatened to lynch the prisoner The
revolyers had the proper effect on the
crowd. which dropped back and per-
United the removal of the prisoner with
no further demonstration than Misses
and idle threats.
The alleged assault took place in an
alleyway next to the home of the little
girl at 64S Vallejo street. According
to the story told by Zivanovich. the ac-
cusation was the result of spitework
and the police are inclined TO believe
the man, who is close to so years of
age and bears an excellent reputation
in the North beach district. Zivano-
vich says that he has been a friend
of the father of the. little girl for
nearly 20 years and was a guest at his
wedding nine years ago. There are
four of the Perkocha children. Zivano-
vich has boarded with the Perkocha
family for the last four years.
Yesterday Zivanovich was on his
way to work when he met the little
girl playing in the alleyway and
stopped to chat with her. While play
ing with the child a man in the neigh
borhood, with whom he had had trou-
BILE, reported to Policeman O'Connor
that an assault had been attempted
and the arrest and attempted mobbing
quickly followed. Speaking in his own
defense at the city prison yesterday.
Zivanovich said:
The charge against me is ground
less and most malicious. Perkocha
and myself have been friends for years,
and his children have been like my
own. But have had trouble with a
man who runs the store next door to
where the Perkochas live, and he has
threatened to harm me. Yesterday
stopped to play with little Lucy on my
way to work, when this man saw US
and ran to the policeman and lied
about me. 1 can not blame the people
who gathered and wanted to kill me,
as they did not know, and any man
should be killed for trying to do what
my enemy said was guilty OF. I have
no fear, as I know little Lucy and her
mother and father VIII tell the court
that it is all a terrible mistake

.NOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 25.-Fran-
cisco Madero. the leader of the
Mexican revolutionists,. is not
wounded, as reported, but instead is
marching on the city Of Monclova. in
the state of Coahuila, at the head of
we'll equipped army, said to number
as high as 5000 men. News of Ma
dero's being wounded is said to have
been sent out by Mexican officials to
discourage the revolutionists.
This was the report brought by
revolutionary sympathizerS across the
border into Douglas today. Much
other information concerning the
movements of the revolutionists and
the extent of the fighting also reached
Douglas in the same way. A local
businessman, who IS a revolutionary
sympathizer, received the data in
documentary form from friends IN
Mexico and it was given out for pubf1-
cation here tonight.
A small printed document published
at chihuahua shows the local situation
there and the purported movements of
Madero. This paper accompanied the
others smuggled in today.

Madero Is purported to have 1000
we'll armed mounted men. recruited
from contrabandia and vaqueros or
Mexican cowboys from the rich cattle
country between Monterey and Chihua-
hua. Since October 7. it Is said. these
men have been engaged in smuggling
arms from the border. whence they ar
rived from San Antonio.
All the funds were supplied BY the
Mexican junta and by Madero person
ally.
The cowboys are said also to have
smuggled arms for the foot soldiers
and that both the mounted troops and
infantry OF Madero carry modern re-
peating rifles of 5000 cabt1er. Madsro's
mounted soldiers are considered par
ticularly efficient
The foot soldiers were recruited from
the cotton belt. where it was known
for long time that the poems were
ready TO take up arms.
Seized 400 Horses
According to the reports reaching
Douglas. Madero's first movement was
a bold attack. With his men he
marched to the great ranch owned by
General Terrazas. now appointed gov
ernor of Chihuahua. at sans Ostsnes.
where he captured 400 horses Madero

by rail from Monterey toward Mon
clova to give battle to Madero if pos
