Special Dispatch to The CalL
CHICAGO. Aug. 10.— Clinging in her
dying hours to the name which she had
chosen to save an honorable Southern
family from the disgrace of the life Into
which she had been led, Mary Lytle. who
shot herself on Saturday evening In the
Auditorium, gave an ante-mortem state
ment to the police this afternoon,' signing
to it her adopted name of "Marie Gordon,
Montgomery. Ala," The statement Itself
is a mere catalogue of the events of her
stay in Chicago since her arrival on July
29, which the police and public already
knew something about, but In occasional
explanatory remarks made to detectives
who were standing about her bedside she
revealed the tragedy which blighted her
life and brought sorrow and disgrace
upon the Lytle family of Tennessee, Into
which the late ex-President Benjamin
Harrison married.
A trip through the red light district
with her brother, W. R. Lytle,' his shoot
ing of a porter and her own attempt at
Miiclde form the last chapter of her sad
life.
In her younger days Mary Lytle was a
belle of Murfreesboro. Tenn. Among her
admirers was a young man now said to
be prominently connected with a South
ern railroad. Whether through his Influ
ence or not she did not say, but at all
events she became involved with a fast
set and finally became a social outcast,
moving at last to Montgomery, Ala.
Despite her downfall, she etill retained
her affection for and admiration of the
man for the love of whom she sought
death in her room at the Auditorium on
Saturday evening. Their attachment was
the talk of their circle of acquaintances
In Montgomery. Then he deserted her
and she left Montgomery in the .' latter
part of July with the avowed intention of
coming to Chicago to find him or to kill
herself.
MONTGOMERY. Ala., Aug. 10.— Under
Instructions from Superintendent of Po
lice O'Neill of Chicago. William Lytle,

simply stated that Lytle was wanted
there on the charge of assault to murder.
The young man was arrested at the house
formerly occupied by his sister.
Lytle 1« wanted by the Chicago police
In connection with the shooting of Jacob
Smith, a negro porter In a South Side .re
eort. Lytle visited the place In company
with his sister, and as they were leaving
the place he engaged In a quarrel with
the negro and, Jt is charged, shot him.

They were released.

During hia journey President Wheeler
met former President Cleveland at his
home in Princeton. From Mr. Cleveland
he gathered that the former President
would not be a candidate for re-election,
though he expressed satisfaction that
the Democracy was returning to its old
time conservatism and was likely to again
become, a power in politics.
Regarding the changes that would oc
cur In the faculty of the University of
California this year. President Wheeler
said there would not be as many new
men as last year. For the vacancy in
the civil engineering department he said
he had secured Professor Charles Der
leth of the University of Colorado. The
two vacancies in the history department,
due to the resignations of Professor K.
C. Babcock, who has accepted the presi
dency 'of the University of Arizona, and
Professor G. T. Lapsley. will remain un
filled for the present. Professor Lapsley's
place will remain vacant until after the
present term, but Professor Babcock's
place will be filled In September.

Yale and Princeton and most of the lancer
universities and State universities are satisfied
with the four-year course. They are all willing
and anxious, however, that Harvard should
try the three-year course. It Is recoirnJred
that there is too much of nameness In the
character of the American colleges. Wo have
(tone too far In leveling out the Individuality
cf our institutions. We ought to find some uni
formity of standard, so that students may h»
abl* to movi^from one Institution to another
without beinic hampered by a great many petty
restrictions In the way of requirements to bo
met. When a student comes to us we ask
"what has he studied?" but it seems to me it
would be far more rational to aek If the etu
dent is able to go on with the work he wants
to do.
President Eliot's theories were not convinc
ing enough for the convention anil the general
feeling of the representatives of the State uni
versities was that the four-year course should
prevail.
ment that the lengthening of the high school
course to four years really shortens the bacca
laureate term by one year. His ideal of cul
tural studies is, however, not the literary stud
ies to much as the scientific studies, and hU
culture is not bo much in the humanities as in
the control that comeS from scientific culture.

It is the intention of the committee to
have a special boat run from' San. Fran
cisco direct to the foot of" Broadway,'
where the veterans and their families
will be met by the members of the recep
tion committee and escorted to the "Wil
lows," on the shore of Lake Merritt,
where an open air lunch will be served.
If the necessary funds are subscribed
to cover the expense of the entertain
ment, the ladles of the various auxilliax
ies of the Grand Army posts in Alameda
County will be requested to assist in
serving the refreshments, but owing to
the uncertainty of the committee as to
the programme, no official action 'has as
yet been taken In the matter.
Arrangements will be made with the
Oakland Transit Company whereby every
veteran will be presented with a ticket
entitling himself and the members of his
family to transportation to any of the
following Berkeley, Alameda,
Haywards,* San Leandro or Fruitvale,
over any of the lines of the company.
The committee does not intend to have
any parade as it would only result in an
unnecessary amount of fatigue to the old
soldiers, but it may be decided later to
have a line of march- from the foot of
Broadway to the lake shore.
In appointing the citizens' reception
committee Mayor Olney endeavored to
avoid, as far as possible, the appoint
ment of members of the Grand Army, for
the reason that he as a member felt that
the members of every Grand Army post
In Alameda County should consider them
selves members of the reception commit
tee and U6e every effort to make Alameda
County day a success.

will hold a meeting to-morrow at 4

President Eliot of Harvard was strongly op
posed to this plan. He ttands for a baccalau
reate course of three years/ making the argu-
The most Interesting session was that in
which the baccalaureate degree was discussed.
This Is a question upon which the "University
of California . has already taken a
decided stand. I was glad to • note
that thts general, trend of opinion
was directly In line with the solution of the
question as practiced here — that is, toward the
maintenance of the four-year course, with the
distinct demarcation at the ejid of the two
college years. By making this sharp division
of the college course the two first years are
devoted to general culture and the two last
years to specialization, these last being also
the basis for a professional career. This plan.
I believe, corresponds more truly to the actual
demands of the facts In American education
and offers the genuine American solution. .
"That Embassadorship story must have
been suggested by my visit to the White
House," he said. "There never was any
thing of the kind thought of either by the
President or myself."
"How about President Eliot of Har-_
vard? They say he is going to retire and
you will probably take his place?"
"Well, that's the first I've heard of it,"
replied President Wheeler. "The last
time I saw President Eliot he was in ro
bust health and 1 am sure there's no pros
pect of his retirement for a long time."
President Wheeler then seemed to think
he ought to make one sweeping, unequiv
ocal statement as to his position and.
after pausing to gather himself together,
he proceeded to unburden himself of thu
words quoted above.
The primary purpose of President
Wheeler's Eastern trip was to preside
as chairman of the sessions of the Na
tional Educational Association at Boston.
This is an immense institution, including
as It does representatives of every edu
cational Institution in the country,' the
membership being about 40,000 people. Its
progress was watched by educators ev
erywhere, as Its conclusions have an im
portant part in shaping the conduct of
all educational institutions. Speaking of
the gathering. President Wheeler said:
EMBASSADORSHIP STORY.
In (his brief but unmistakable state
ment President. Benjamin . iA} Wheeler,
just after his return this morninsr from
a two months' absence. in. the East, set at
rest, for once and: all the' rumors that he
•contemplated, retiring * from \ the univer
sity to accf'pj'* a diplomatic or some other
university position: .V ¦ ~.
Rumor' always takes liberties with
Presfdent^wheeler when he Is in the East
and. during . each of his., three annual
absences from the Pacific Coast his name
has been coupled with all sorts of absurd
possibilities, ' Ills' visit to President
.Roosevelt, with.. whom he. spent a night
at 'the White HouVe this summer, started
the rumor that hf had been offered the
post of Embassuojr to Frame, though
there was no ¦ vacancy there, or likely to
be. A little later hi* visit to Harvard
University set a rumor a-going that
President Charles W. Eliot contemplated
retiring and that President "Wheeler was
being sought after by the trustees of the
university for the vacancy anticipated.
Thess absurd stories followed President
"Wheeler all through his. travels this sum
mer and he smiled when the representa
tives of the press, to whom he gave audi
ence this morning, asked him to deny or
affirm them.

ferry. Motorman W. H. Bookman and
Conductor I. Watsoti consulted for a mo
ment, then ran the .car to the scene of the
shooting and" took Sample to the Harbor
Hospital. Their presence '.of ,'mlnd en
abled the wo'unded man to reach the hos
pital and -make' a dying statement.- It
is believed he'- will --die #arly to-day r ,. ;¦.•;.
Sample's dying statement was taken by
Assistant District Attorney Flood. He
pai<l .the two men were lighting a third,
who was a boilf>r-maker> When he tried
to break up the fight h*» was atacked and
shot down. Dr. Miller said Sample could
not live.
The suspects werfi taken to the Harbor
station, where Sample lay.in great pain,
a bullet wound in his brain, his face
powder burned. He identified Sullivan as
the man who fired the first shot, possibly
the second, though of this he was not
certain.
The prisoners are men of scare 21 year*
of age.
\ The combatants at once attacked him
and Sample fought back with his club.
During the struggle two shots were fired
and Sample fell to the sidewalk. The dis
turbance made a great noise and Patrol
men N'obman and t Clark, and Special
Bcatty arrested ' Powell and Sullivan as
they ran from the scene. !
Robert Sample, a special policeman who
lives at 4330 Twenty-third street, was
fatally shot at a late !rour last night, and
John Henry Powell and Charles Sullivan
were arrested for the crime. Sullivan was
once arrested for robbery, anu he bears a
hard name. . '•» .¦•'¦*¦.' ¦.
The shooting occurred ; •- on Folsom
street, between First arid Second. There
had been a political meettngJn the vicin
ity, and after the crowd had dispersed
Powell and Sullivan got into a' fight.
Martin Kelly, It is, said, told Robert
Sample that the men were fighting,
whereupon Sample attempted to separate
them. .,'¦-.
Capitalist Charles R. Lloyd never for
gave his son Frederick for the • stand
t: . latter took In connection with th«
shooting of Lloyd by his nephew,
William Boxall, at San Bernardino last
January, and In his 'will, which was filed
to-day with the County Clerk, the senior
Lloyd expressly states that he makes no
provision for his son Frederick. The will
was dated June 19. 1903. and was mada
Just prior to the senior Lloyd's sailing for
t! ? Orient. He was under $100,000 bonds
to appear at the trial of his nephew on a
charge of assault to commit murder.
Representatives of Lloyd's estate say
he was worth close to Jl.000,000. The will
was filed to-day by Attorney Arthur W.
Goodfellow, who, with Thomas Addlson.
Is named as executor. The entire prop
erty is left In trust to them for ten years.

widow of the deceased and the other two
thirds Is to be divided among: three of his
children. Charles R., Mabel F. and Ethel
Mary. At the end of ten years me prop
erty is to be divided in the 3am« propor
tion. In alluding to his son he says:
"For my son, Frederick XV. Lloyd. I ex
pressly make no provision." There Is no
allusion as to the reason why Frederick
is said to have sided with the Boxall
forces in the troubles of the capitalist
last winter.
