ALMOST MURDERS
FOR PALTRY sum
Man, Said to Think Girl Victim
Dead, Fiendishly Takes S22
From Her.

Miss VIOLA Wilson, % years old,
housekeeper in a furnished-room
house, at Columbia street, is in a
serious condition today as the re-
suit of an assault made upon her
for the purpose of robbery. Irving
w. Crane, % years old, of 10 Earl
street, is held a prisoner al the First
precinct station house, charged with
having committed the assault.
According to Mrs. Joseph Bailey,
by whom the young woman is en-
ployed, Miss Wilson was washing at
tub in the yard when Crane, who
is said to have known that she had
considerable money in her stocking,
came up from behind, and after se-
verely choking her, pushed her, head
first, into the washtub, where he
held her for several minutes. Be-
lieving that she had been overcome,
1t is asserted. he rushed with her
into the house. She said he placed
her on bed, tore her stocking from
her limb and made away with the
money, which amounted to $22.

place of business, on the opposite
side of Columbia street, and told him
that yola was dead. it is said. The
two men returned to the house, and
when signs of life were discovered a
physician was sent for. After work
ing over her for an hour he finally
revived her, but not sufficiently for
her to regain complete consciousness.
From appearances. Mr.. Bailey imag-
ined that the girl had been the victim
of a thief, and started search OF the
premises for the missing money.
Finally Crane located the money in
trunk which had been previosuly
searched by Mr.. Bailey, but suspicion
did not point strongly to Crane maxi
ing the assault until last night, when
his victim related the brutal attack
made upon her.
Crane will be given an examination
in the First Criminal Court as soon
as Miss Wilson reeovers sufficiently
to appear against him

MAYOR VETOES
BROAD ST. PAVING
That's the Report Doing the
Rounds of City Hall Cor
ridors Today.

1t is understood that Mayor Jacob
Haussling today sent back unap-
proved the resolution of the Board
of Works awarding the contracts for
paving Broad street with wood
block unapproved.
1t is said that in explaining his veto
the Mayor declared himself opposed
to wood block to the end, and inti-
mated that he would continue his
fight against the material.
The Mayor stated the reason for
his fight on the pavement was not
that he thought the contracts were
irregularly awarded or there was any
fault in the advertising of the pave
ment, but simply his belief that gran
ite block was the better pavement.
The vetoed resolution will come be-
fore the works board Thursday, and
1t is expected the four commission
ers who have favored wood will do
so again and override the stand taken
by the mayor and President Ryan, of
the board.

UNIQUE AND NDSPECTACULAR.MILITARY
TOURNEY PLANNED BY COMMITTED

l. AS now. planned, It Is possible that
at One end of the armory stage will
be erected upon which will be held
dris by squads, such as the manual
of arms, setting-up exercises, etc. 1t
was suggested that four squads of ma
rines be secured to go through the
Butts manual, There will be various
events such as blanket rolling con-
tests, fancy drills, bayonet fencing
and all manner of sports which should
prove highly interesting. Another
feature which has been suggested
and which would be little different
from the ordinary run of things, is a
camp with tents pitcned and the men
in tueir places, showing day of camp
life from first call and reveille in the
morning until call to quarters and taps
at night. 1t is expected that Lieut..
Bump will have his program finished
by the middle of next week, at which
time another meeting of the arrange
ment committee will be called and
probably some definite action taken.
In the various competition events,
officers from the regular army, prefer
ably captains, will be chosen as tim
ers and judges, while civilians will be
called in to fill other positions on the
floor. AS stated at the meeting, the
entire affair will need careful manage
ment, and the committee hopes to be
able to secure this. Committees on
publicity, arrangement, floor and dec
are to be selected at an early
date in order that they may begin
their work in plenty of time.

Breckons has clipping from a

district, which says that he was first
recommended by Attorney-general Nc
Reynolds for a similar position at
Cape Nome. Alaska. At that time the
Tennesseean declined to discuss the
possibility of his removal to Alaska.
Whether he eventually rejected that
cfice, preferring the Hawaii district,
or whether another man was chosen

If the present plans of the commit

teriaIize, the tournament which will
mark the opening of the new national
guard of Hawaii armory next Febru-
ary will be one of the most unique
and spectacular military events ever

meeting yesterday afternoon; 1st
Lieut. Arthur L. Bump, inspector
instructor, will draw up skeleton
program which viii include all the
suggested features, and from this list
the final schedule of events will be
formed.
Some discussion arose as to wheth.
er the officers or the men of the guard
should be the hosts on the first night
Of the tournament. One of those pres
ent thought that the officers should
have the honor, but Lieut.. Bump said
that, as the men formed the body of
the organization, and that the guard
was endeavoring to secure men to in
crease the ranks, the officers should
be the hosts on the second night of
the tournament. No decision was
reached in the matter, but the ma
jority of the committee members
seemed to favor Lieut. Bumps way of
thinking. A tentative outline of a
number of suggested events was pre-
sented by Lieut. Bump for the consid-
Grafton of the committee, and the
question arose as to just what meth
DDS to use in running of the different
events. 1t was suggested that pro-
grams of past tournaments be OBJ
tanned and that one of these be Sc
