7. R. To POUR OIL

Leaders Expect Coloners State
ment to Contain Highly
Keyed Plea for Peace
[Special Dispatch 10 The Call

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.--Only one
statement came from Colonel Roose-
welt today. Arriving at noon from
Ohio, where, he said, he enjoyed bully
time he went direct to oyster Bay
from the grand central station, saying
he expected TO enjoy the holiday. Asked
if he had any statement to make, the
Colonel replied:
NO. and / have not made anv. I
shall make an announcement on Sun
day. which may be of interest to the
public. 1t will contain ali that care
to say. and will be the first direct
statement authorized by me, all re-
ports to the contrary notwithstand
ing. The statement will be issued for
publication in the newspapers Monday
morning. ! shall go to Boston on
Saturday to remain four days, visiting
personal friends. / have no appoint
ments with political leaders while
there"
Roosevelt's attention was called to a
report telegraphed from Cleveland that
he had said TO a politician of that
city, MY hat is in the ring" In answer
to a direct question if ne were a candi
date. His only comment was that he
did not recall making such a statement.
While Roosevelt has not indicated to
any one the character of the announce
ment he is to give out for publication
Monday. it will, of course, deal directly
with the use of his name in connection
with the republican nomination for the
presidency, and 1t will clear up all
doubt as to his intention. Republican
leads, not only in New York but in
other states, will be greatly surprised
If Roosevelt's statement does not con-
tain a highly keyed plea for harmony.

Bitter Fight Expected

Thus, it appears plainly that Mayor
wilson's change of front makes a wide
difference in the fight before the citi-
zens OF Berkeley. The struggle, which
was so bitter when the present ad
ministration was elected and Hodg-
heads regime was ended, probably is
to be fought over again.
The friends of superintendent Bum
ker must at this coming election cap
ture control of the administration to
save the superintendent. There were
ways in which that might have been
avoided, but the means lay within the
incumbent administration. for no other
power than the city council could with
draw John A. Wilson from the school
board by reassigning him to some
other department than that of reve-
nue. and finance.
No doubt. a hard fight is on. inter-
est alone presages that. Today. al
though all public Offices were closed,
six veri1ication deputies obtained sew
eral hundred signatures to the petit
tions for the recall of John A. Wilson.

Its Motor Failing, Biplane,
Whirled by Wind. Crashes
Into a Building
CRUMPLED BIRDMAN is
TAKEN FROM WRECKAGE
Thousands See Machine as 1t
Plunges Earthward From
100 Foot Height
ESCAPE FROM DEATH
VERITABLE MIRACLE

~ OAKLAND, Feb 22-Power-
4 less in the whirl of brisk
~ bay breeze, with failing
motor at his back, Tom Gum,
a young Chinese aviator. plunged
from a height of 100 feet in his unrulv
biplane today near the Oakland avia
tion field and crashed into building
at the Paraffin Paint works. When
taken from the wreck he was uncon-
scious and bleeding from half dozen
wounds, but his injuries will not prove
fatal He sustained dislocated jaw,
deep cut over the right eye. an ugly
wound in the left cheek and lacera-
tons on both legs, besides numerous
bruises and abrasions on other parts
of the body.
Fifteen thousand persons at the
aviation meet saw the young aviator
circle over Shell Mound park and
swoop downward as he lost control Of
his machine. The crash that followed
was hidden by intercepting trees and
buildings from all except a few en-
ployes at the paint works and Union
Oil company at the foot of Powell
street, on the very edge of the bay.
Gums Escape Miraculous
The unstable plane grazed the lofty
tops Of two oil tanks, smashed into
10 foot fence and shattered the walls
of the Parafin pumphouse with the
force of II inch Drojectile. Gum,
held prisoner in his seat in front of
the wings, bore the full brunt Of the
fearful collision. How he escaped death
is miracle. A window in the small
building was smashed and ripped from
its frame.
Wooden parts OF the biplane tore
two huge holes in the inch thick walls
of the house. A large castiron drain
age pipe at the side of the shed was
snapped like a twig. The pumping
engine inside was broken. The Bat
tered building bore the appearance of
having just passed through cyclone.
Before striking the pumphouse the
alrSnlp carried away a neaVy section OF
fence 80 feet long and 10 feet high.
The wings and lighter parts of the BIZ
plane toppled over the roof of the
pump station, the machine clinging to
the ridge like wounded bird trying
to regain its poise.
Flung Between the Walls
Through the fence and sheer against
the building Gum was carried in a
mass of splintering wood and ripping
canvas. The front wheel and skids of
the running gear acted in a measure
as a battering RAM protecting the
young Chinese from the first fearful
impact. He was flung between the
demolished walls of the building and
the tangled wreck of his biplane. with
the engine of his machine hanging
over him.
A number of automobilists outside
the aviation field saw the beginning of
his fall. He was rushed back to the
emergency hospital on the grounds in
au auto by DIR. w. III. Erwin. Here his
injuries were dressed by DR.. A. S.
