The Mill-owners' came
back with the assertion that the min
ute any men were called out they
would close down every mill in Ala

Trades Council is in the fight. J. B.
Bowen, business agent of the council,
said to-nipht:
"The mills will be kept open, no
matter what action the District
Council of Carpenters sees fit to v take,
and the men will be protected. The
threat of the carpenters to call out
the men is an empty one, for not half
the millmen would obey the call."
OAKLAND, April 13. — Another
phase of the old fight between the

to-day when the Mill-owners' Associ

A corps of orrmious looking professors
stood guard over them and kept their

white paper in front of. them for six
long hours. These eight martyrs to a
system of pedagogic espionage were
the candidates for the first Rhodes

VAULTEU BADLY HURT
J. M. Beach Is Seriously Injured by

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. April
13. — J. M. Beach of San Bernardino,
one of Stanford's crack pole vaulters,
who was expected* to win second place
in the coming' field meet with the Uni
versity of California, met with a pain
ful'accident in the' chemistry labora
tory to-day. While performing some
tests his glass apparatus exploded, fill
ins? his hands with pieces of glass.. His
face and eyes miraculously escaped
the fragments of glass which were
blown the full length of the large
laboratory, room. The . unfortunate
athlete was given medical attention
at, once, but it is feared that the cuts
are so deep that they will not be suf
ficiently healed to allow him to enter
the annual collegiate track meet. •
Hunker is still guarding his castle
on Bancroft way, .fearing that Mrs.
Carroll may turn up at any time, and
make another successful storming
party of it.
Now I am out in the world without a dollar.
Ai: I have If my little son, whom Hunker
promised t.. support ar.d educate. But I have
other resources, and when 1 appeal to the law
again 1 talnk there will be a different story
to tell. 1 think I will get the beEt of him yet.
Even that would have been satisfactory, but
he kept the lease. As he had the upper hand.
I could do nothing. I asked him why he had
become so indifferent toward me and he said:
"I have nothing to «ay to you." Finally he
bued out a writ of rectttution for the house,
and. ri course, defeated me In the courts.
Mrs. Carroll is the woman Hunker
ejected from the home he built for her
at 2428 Bancroft way at a cost of
$20,000. She said the house was an
engagement gift and he denied this.
The court took his side and sent two
deputy sheriffs to Berkeley to. take
care of the case. When the deputies
got into the house they found that
Mrs. Carroll had been there before
them and taken all the movable furni
ture in the place.
Hunker spoke his mind about this
proceeding and now it is Mrs. Carroll's
turn. She came to Berkeley to-day
to hunt up mouthpieces. She was
quite agitated over it all and once or
twice was moved to tears. This is her
side of the story:
Hunkrr ha.- treated mo cruelly and hu
miliated me. His <!¦ niul that I am his coueln
ehowK what kind of a man lie is. I met him
in San Franritco and told him my maiden
name was Hunker and we traced the rela
tionship. It was satisfactory to him. . "•
On the strength of our kinship he loaned me
$:c,o00 to build a house. I was to build it
and then lease it irons him at a nominal figure.
It was understood that I was to pay the taxes.
But after the house had been built and I had
moved in he began to change toward me. A
week dffo he dragged me over to his attorney
and m&de me tign a lease for ten yean at the
rate at (40 a month.
Now Mrs. Christine Carroll prances
into the limelight and gives the world
a piece of her mind concerning one
Andrew Hunker, discoverer of Hunker
Creek in the Klondike, who is esti
mated to be a millionaire many times
over. In her eyes the millionaire is
the picture of ingratitude and selfish
ness. She promises that there will
be trouble when she gets her breath
and sticks her talons of the law into
his hide.

"I feel that the city cannot afford to
lose Mr. Howard," said Mayor Olney
to-night. "and I should feel disappoint
ed if it shall become necessary for me
to appoint his successor. He is run
down and must take a rest. He-be
lieves there. should be a representative
in his place during his absence. I hope
the Council -will vote him a leave of
absence to cover the time he shall be
away."
Mr. Howard left to-day for Victoria.
There he will join his wife and
daughter for a tour of Europe, expect
ing to be away about three months.
In the City, Council Mr. Howard has
been conspicuous as the exponent of
clean-cut business methods. He has
made exhaustive studies in the water
question and was foremost in arrang
ing the bond issue programme. As
chairman of the auditing and finance
committee, Councilman Howard's work
was that of a master hand. He is
president of the Western Fuel I Com
rany and one of \ the representative
commercial men of the Pacific* Coast.
*But it is hot certain that Mr. How
ard will be permitted to resign. The
Mayor is anxious that the city shall
not lose the services of the gentleman,
and an "effort will be made to retain
him. As soon as Mayor Olney was
notified of the resignation he decided
to take steps toward inducing Mr.
Howard to stay. The Mayor suggested
that the Council should not accept the
resignation; but should grant Mr. How
ard the leave of absence necessary to
cover his projected three months* trip
abroad.
City Councilman John L. Howard
has placed his resignation in the hands
of Mayor Olney and the City Council.
Pressure of private business affairs
and ill health are the reasons Mr.
Howard assigns for his action in re
tiring from the city government. The
necessity of going away for a time
also led Councilman Howard to re
sign, for. he declared, to his callers,
he believed his place .should be. filled
in view of the public business now Be
fore the Council.

OAKLAND. April 13. — A writ of at
tachment was issued by Judge Greene
thi«s afternoon for the person " of
Charles W. Pa!m, who is ordered to
be brought into court and punished
for contempt in not having paid over
to Jennie M. Heaton the sum of $2020
belonging to the estate of the late
Warren D. Hoaton. It was promised
for Palm by Attorney Henry C. Mc-
Pike that the money would be paid
on last Monday. With this under
standing the matter was allowed to
go over, but the money was not paid.
The claims of Jennie M. Heaton
have been contested for years by Palm
as executor of Heaton's will and At
torney H. C, McPike. Heaton died
and left a valuable estate. A claim
was made to the property by a woman
said to be a child of Heaton's. born of
a woman in England with whom Hea
ton had lived. She made her con
tention good before the lower courts
and the case was appealed. By one
appeal and another the matter has
been kept alive for many years. Now
Palm is in his last ditch, the court
holding that he has passed the limit
in further resisting its mandates and
has adjudged him guilty of contempt
and ordered him to be punished. Palm
is said to be in Los Angeles.

Miss Heald read a great deal of late
and had shown signs of mental trouble.
.».
Mrs. Blanchard learned ' that there
was nothing but mud flats at the foot
of B street yesterday afternoon, the
tide being so low that it did not cover
the short. The police accent the the
ory that the letter was written by Miss
Heald. The incoherence that marks it
indicated the writer's disturbed mind.
Mrs. Blanchard said her sister had been
cheerful during the day and left home
about 3 o'clock, saying she was going
to walk.
Miss Lillian Heald, S» years old, a
short-story writer, disappeared yeeter;
day afternoon from the residence of
her sister. Mrs. Sydney Blanchard, S55
Thirty-seventh street, under circum
stances that have induced the Blanch
ards to. appeal to the police for assist
ance in search for the missing woman.
Within a few hours after Miss Heald
departed a special delivery letter was
received by Mrs. Blanchard, signed by
'"Mrs. William Raymond" and declar
ing that a woman answering Miss
Heald's description had been seen to
drown in the bay off B street. The
facts that the handwriting of the mes
sage closely resembled that of Miss
Heald. that the description of the gar
ments were identical with those of. the
absent sister, that Mrs. Blanchard
never heard of a "Mrs. William Ray
mond," that the letter was received so
soon after Miss Heald's disappearance,
all lead Mrs. Blanchard to believe that
for some unexplained reason Miss
Heald had written the letter.

Pirst Appearance of Dandruff a Tor*-
rtuuier of Future Baldness.
That such is the case has bee'n conclu-
sively proven by scientific research. Prof.. ',
Unna. tho noted European skin special-
ist, declares that dandruff is the. ' bur-
rowed-up cuticle of the scalp, caused by
parasites destroying the vitality in the
hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless, and
in time falls out. This can be prevented.
Herpicide kills this dandruff
germ and restores the hair to its natural
softness and abundancy.
' Herpicide is now used by thousands of
people — all ' satisfied that it Is the most
wonder fnl hair preparation on the mar-
ket to-day. . i
