MAETHA GEAY MABTUf McCOEMICX
JOSEFH KoCOEMICK,
Waiter.
As a last measure to save the life of
Joseph McCormlck. the waiter 1 who was
stabbed in the thigh by his wife, Ada
Long-Vincent McCormick, daughter of
J. M. Long, a millionaire eyrup manu
facturer of this city, surgeons at the
University hospital > yesterday ampu
tated the leg above the knee.
.At the bedside of the patient
throughout the operation, which was
performed in the theater of the hospi
tal by four surgeons, were his mother.
Mrs. Martin McCormick, of Ottumwa,
la., and his two sisters, Mrs. J. S. Ham
mersmith of Los Angeles and Miss Eva
McCormick of Chicago, all 6f whom
had hastened to his assistance on be
ing notified of his condition. The pa
tient was conscious throughout the
ordeal, but his condition Is at present
critical.
Refuses to Prosecute
.. Since the nlgrht.of^Decembf r.^^^'.wJjen
his wife in a frenzy rushed at him and;
gashed his "thigh with a butcher knife
and - then fled. ' leaving him .to die. Mc-
Cormick. has steadfastly refused to
prosecute her, and the woman, who was
taken in charge by her wealthy father,
has vouchsafed' no explanation of her
murderous deed. She is at present in
the Xapa asylum for the "Insane, al
though the relatives of McCormick be
lieve that money and Influence have
been used to place her there Instead of
In prison, and Miss Eva McCormick as
serts postlvely that the woman Is of
normal mind.
Mrs. Martin McCormick, the mother,
who is a daughter of the late United
States Senator James Gray of Ken
tucky, and whose husband, McCormick's
father, was the a©n of William Mc-
Cormick, former United States senator
from lowa, declares that in the event
of her son's death the Long millions
will avail nothing against bringing the
woman to justice, and that she will call
upon influential relatives of the Grays
and McCormicks to have the woman
punished. McCorrnick will not allow
his wife to be prosecuted during his
life, but in the event of the operation
failing the mother and sisters will take
matters into their own hands.
Stabbed Month Ago
Nearly a month has elapsed since Mc-
Cormick as found by his landlord, Dr.
Blehle, huddled upon a blood soaked cot
and moaning in agony. Thirty-six hours
before his wife had plunged a butcher
knife Into his thigh and -fled from the
humble cottage at 16 Vulcan place, and
he had crawled into the corner and tried
his best to stanch the spurting wound.
For two nights and a day; the wounded
may lay without food or warmth, and
would have died but for the arrival of Dr.
Blehle, who had him "at once conveyed
to the central emergency hospital!
Blehle notified the police and the next
day the woman was arrested and taken
to the city prison, but when the wound
ed man heard of this he wrote to Police
Judge Shbrtall asking that she be dis
missed, as he would place no charge
against her. The woman. was released
on $100 ball furnished by the attorney
whom she had engaged.* and, she went
her way, never Inquiring about the mail
who Icy friendless and at the polnt ; of
death, a charity, patient in a hospital,
but who, \u25a0weak and in torture as he was
had no 'thought of revenge, but only
struggled with xhe, authorities to pre
vent Ler being punished. "
McCormick was removed to the Uni
versity hospital, but his case became
critical, blood poisoning setting in.
When It* was thought he was about to
die Assistant District Attorney Duke
was notified and came to take his ante
mortem statement. McCormick,. with
indomitable courage, still refused to in
criminate his wife and declared "- he
would not die. Mrs. McCormick was rear
rested, however, and her; bail set at
$10,900. It then developed that the
woman was the daughter of J.'aL Long,
the millionaire syrup manufacturer^ *

the Scbmitz-Ruef-* regime serving^ in
public capacities. r Nominations have
been" expected from Mayor Taylor since
the first day of the year and there has
been a tremendous amount of specula
tion \u25a0 over',the; : possible ; appointees, ow
ing to Mayor Taylor's .well- earned re&i
utction of doing:, the^urejepected^in^a

litical V cuttings -Just set .out/ by the
mayor are to some extent in line with
his habitual placements. A number of
former Mayor Phelan'js commissioners
Hugo D. Keil's Fall :
The chief interest centers around the
fall of Police Commissioner Hugo D.
Keil, who makes way for Fred G. San
born. Keil has been an aggressive
member of the commission, if not a
popular one, and his "position :on the
greater number of points that came up
did not agree with popular taste. Fred
Sanborn succeeds to the vacancy-wlth
a good measure oorf r popular respect.
He is vice " president; and manager, of
the Bancroft-Whitney publishing com
pany and lives at 1030 Dolores' street.
He has; been a director.of the Bohemian
club. Sanborn also -was one of . the
most -attentive members of the Oliver
grand jury and there is a poetic Justice
that could not well have escaped the
mayor in placing in office one of the
men who played a part In cleansing
th© police department of ex-Chief
Dinan, whose removal from office fol
lowed on his indictment by . the Oliver
grand' Jury .'
are appointed by Taylor.
Was Taylor's Appointee
Keil is one of the , two of Taylor's
own appointees, who walk the ; plank.
The other is John P. McLaughlin of the
board of health, who is not reappointed
at the. expiration of his term of office.
McLaughlin is to -, be succeeded' by
James W. :•\u25a0 Mullen, a member of the
typographical union and employed as a
linotype ' operator on, .the Chronicle.
McLaughlin Is a union labor, man and
the tradition of. the office demanded
that his successor be also a unionist.
Mrs. Mary W. Kincald Is the only
woman included In ; the ,10 officials
named •by Taylor. She succeeds Aaron
Altmann, brother, in law of Abe Ruef,
on "the" board of education, being
named for the long term. Mrs. Kin
caidlwas for 25 years a. teacher' in "the
public schools of this city .and- was
principal of the girls', high jschool when
she retired from, the department. She
was "\u25a0& member of the board of educa
tion at one time' under appointment by
f ormer ; Mayor Phelan. :>
The other new member of the board
of education' will' be,;Thomas: E. Hayden
0f^.1368 6'Farrell street," an attorney
with -offices i ln t- the .Humboldt' Bank
building 'and at one time president- of
