MRS. HEALEY
LEAVES RACE
WITHDRAWS FROM CONTEST
FOR VACANCY IN SCHOOL
BOARD, LEAVING TWO CAN
DIDATES TO CONTEST FOR
JOB.
MRS. HETTY GREEN.

Believing the presence of two
women candidates in the race for
the vacancy on the school board
would defeat the purpose for
which she says she entered the
lists, Mrs. Ida w. Healey, one of
the candidates, has today with
drawn her name from the ballot.
Il believe the best interests of
our public schools would be con-
served by having a woman on
the board says Mrs. Healey,
and | permitted my name to be
used as a candidate.
"Since that time another wom-
an has entered the field. AS
the place only because
of my convictions in the matter
and not from a desire for posi-
ton, and | believe two women
would defeat my prim-
ary purpose, l announce my
withdrawal"
This leaves Mrs. Abbie Sanford
and Attorney Rowder d. Brown
in the race for the vacancy on
the board.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 2l.-
Eight floors on the Sixth street
side of the Marquam building, a
sky scraper in the heart of the
business section, collapsed with a
detonation that could be heard
for blocks about noon today.
The streets are roped off in the
vicinity of the building, and a
complete collapse of the great
structure is not improbable. The
building contains the Orpheum
theater and many office rooms.

SAN FRANCISCO NEWSPAPER
MAN MAKES MURDEROUS
ASSAULT ON FRIEND,

"Shorty" Lawson of Sioux City,
death i'm the Fannie Paddock
Memorial hospital, and James
Nader, newspaper man, former
ly employed on the San Francis
co Call, is under arrest, being
held ON charge which will be
filed as soon as LawsOns condi-
ton is fully determined.
Nader beat Lawson over the
head with a heavy steel bar in the
Tourist hotel at 8 o'clock this
morning while attempting, it is
said, to rob his victim of $40.
Both men arrived here last
night from Portland. Nader had
been drinking heavily, an empty
gin bottle having been found in
his room. Nader registered at
the Tourist hotel early in the
evening, and later brought in
Shorty" who was assigned a
room next that of Nader on the
third floor.
About 8 o'clock this morning
guests of the hostelry were
aroused by the screams of Law
son coming from the bathroom.
Warren Cady, one of the third
floor roomers, rushed to the
head of the stairs and called to
Manager Frank Mclean that a
man was being murdered.
Nader burst from the bath
room and ran down the stairs.
He escaped into the alley, with
Mclean in hot pursuit, and dou-
bled back to Pacific avenue,
where he was caught and held
until the arrival of Detectives
Mondeau, Andrews and Fackler
in the police machine.
He said very little, other than
to answer gruffly the questions
of the officers as to his name,
age and occupation.
Lawson was found lying on the
bathroom floor, his head gaping
from a large wound. A steel bar
foot long covered with blood
was lying beside him. and his
purse, containing $40, lay near
the door.
He was placed in an ambulance
and taken to the hoSpltai, Wnere
he is under the care of DR..
Thomas b. Curran. His condi-
ton is uncertain as yet. but very
serious.
In the bathroom struggle, the
porcelain wash bowl was smash
ed into pieces and lay scattered
about the floor. Lawsons finger
ring, which was of heavy gold,
was broken, probably by a blow
from the heavy bar.
Nader, who gave the name
Wagner at the police station, is
29 years old. He registered as
having come from Los Angeles
but said he had been working on
the San Francisco Call. Lawson
is about 80 years old. His peo-
ple all live in Sioux City, he told
the night clerk at the hotel last
evening.
d. F. F. Foley was the final
captor of Nader, after his long
run.
Late reports from the bedside
of "Shorty" Lawson this after
noon are that he may live. His
condition, however, is very low.

wee woman who was waiting out

nearly two months. He thanked
them all and shook hands and

will be tried again for the mur-

cooked ]. Matthew Murray's
meals since the attorney had
come to live at the county Jail.
Charles Newcomb was not at the
door to say goodby.
j. Matthew Murray darted in
to the kitchen. Newcomb was
peeling potatoes for supper.
"Goodby, Charles" said Muir
ray, I'm going away tonight, no
need of any potatoes for me-
Newcomb turned, wiping his
hands on his apron. His tall,
sinewy figure seemded a little
more bent, and his pale face was
sad.
"Goodby," was all he said as
he extended his hand which re-
mained gripped with Murray's to
the door.
"Goodby, Jim," said Murray,
coming out.
"Goodby, Matt" answered
Longmire.
Come, dear, let's go home, +"
whispered the wee woman, taking
the big boy by the hand.

ing through the grating, the last
man.
