NEWS OF THE COUNTIES BORDERING SAN FRANCISCO BAY
GUEST FLEES WITH
WIFE OF HIS HOST
Oakland Restaurateur Loses
His Spouse and Poor Cou
sin From Germany
OAKLAND. June 2t. — Sixteen years
of happy married life in the home of A.
Rupke, a prominent German restaura
teur living at 535 Eleventh street, were
ruthlessly terminated Saturday evening
by an ungrateful albeit handsome
cousin of Rupke. who. according to the
aggrieved husband, repaid hospitality
by eloping with his relative's wife.
As if to heap financial insult' upon
domestic injury the departing Mrs.
Rupke lingered long enough, declares
her abandoned iiusband, to open a com
munity safe deposit box which the
couple rented in the Oakland bank of
earings and remove its contents,
amounting to several hundred dollars.
The contents of the box represented
the recent receipts of the Cafe Ger
mania, where for many years past
Rupke and his wife have dispensed ,
German hospitality to the elite of Oak
land.
Rupke has made every effort to trace
his wife's movements and those of his
cousin, Hans George Dobberk. since
they le/t bis home last week, but his
eearchings hare been in vain. He ap
plied to the police this morning for a
warrant for the arrest of the vanished
woman, but was informed that he could
not invoke the aid of the law unless he
charged Mrs. Rupke with deserting
their minor son, Leo, aged 14 years.
Upon the advice of his attorney Rupke
decided to wait a few days before
adopting this course. • .
5 Dobberk went to live In the Rupke
household only three weeks ago. <He
was a first cousin of the Tnaster of the
house and stood high in his esteem and
affection. As he had been in this coun
try but a ehort time and was in need of
financial assistance Rupke advanced
him a considerable sum of money and
generously waved aside the Indebted
ness when Dobberk offered to repay
him.
\u25a0 "You are my cousin," he said, mag
nanimously, "and I don't need the
money. . You owe me nothing."
Saturday Rupke determined to take
a pleasure trip to Piedmont park with
his family, but when he bade his wife
prepare for the outing she protested
that she was not well enough to go.
So Rupke and his eon 'went without
her. When they returned in the even
ing Mrs. Rupke and Dobberk had fled.
From neighbors Rupke learned that
an express wagon had carried the
trunks away during the afternoon and
that shortly afterward Mrs." Rupke,
at rayed in traveling garb, had been
sf-eri to make her departure. Rupke
v.as formerly In business in San Fran
cisco. He is 'well known among the
Gfrman colonies of Oakland and San
Francisco.

at 313,536 persons in the new 1908-09
directory of the Polk-Husted company
for the towns of Oakland, Berkeley and

Alameda, a total of 104,612. Accepting
the theory that for every man's name

ingr time last year.

the three cities since the last directory
was issued Is: Oakland 19,791.

company, and it is claimed for it by
the publishers that It is'the most com
plete that they have ever turned out.
Particular pains and..' expense, were
taken to. have. trained men visit every
residence, l ofSce .and workroom In the
territory. ' The resulting directory Is
unusually comprehensive. The book is
clearly printed on good paper in large,
readable type.
A huge lot of miscellaneous informa
tion concerning the three towns In
Greater Oakland appears In tho fore
part of the book.- Every church has
been classified and placed In a list
which takes three pages.
The list shows Oakland to.be really
a city of churches. There are 14
Baptist churches and missions. 2 of the
Christian denomination. 2 Christian
Scientist,' 11 Congregational. S Episco
pal, 3 of the First Day Adventlsts, 2

Mormon, 15 Presbyterian, 10 Roman
Catholic. 1 Spiritualist, 1 Unitarian, 1
United Brethren. 1 United Presbyterian
md 27 of miscellaneous denominations.
. Greater Oakland is also shown to be
•vfll equipped along educational lines,
with the state university. 38 public
high and grammar schools and 37 pri
vate colleges and educational Institu
tions within Its limits.
Another feature of the directory is a
very comprehensive business classifica
tion of 158 pages. '

DYING, HE DENIES
HIDING TO BLOW SAFE
Alfred Kennedy; Found With
Bullet Wound, Refuses to
Admit Robbery :
: OAKLAND, June '. S3.— Alfred Ken
nedy, the San Francisco messenger boy
who was found at the home of Thomas
Dolan, 615 Sixth street, at 3 o'clock
Sunday morning with a bullet wound
abovo his heart, died at the receiving
hospital ;this afternoon. To his death
he; persisted in j his -statement tJtat he
was;, in no way connected with the
dynamiting of the Fruitvale lumber
company's safe at midnight
but he was'/positlvcly identified today
by J. F.-Lcldeeker, a Fruitvalo news
paperman, as one of the men" who was
seen with Charles; Hanson, alias Harry
Lenter,' near the lumber company's of
fice Saturday. afternoon. . ,
Hanson, .who is a' cripple with a cork
leg, was captured by Constable Allen
of Fruitvale.' in the. office immediately
after the j explosion' which wrecked . the
safe; gave the name of Lenter at the
county jail, but today he confessed that
his name, was Hanson and that . he
lived in Bray 'avenue, Frultvale. : Heis
believed to be a criminal, who 1 has op
erated in I San Francisco and Oakland,
and Sheriff Barnet expects to implicate,
him in the recent dynamiting and rob
bing of the Southern Pacific safes at
Mcl rose and San Leandro. ;'.; '.
DIO.VIKS COMPLICITY'
. Ilanson's .companion escaped after
being shot by Constable Allen, and the
fact "that Kennedy was found wounded
in Oakland several hours after the safe
was cracked led • the police to believe
that he was the burglar who got away.
Although he knew he was dying, how
ey,er, he. denied, that he was connected
with the burglary and declared that he
had been shot in Oakland by , a man
who had mistaken him for a: highway
man. .The police investigated .this
story, bufvwere unable to find any one
who had heard a shot in the neighbor
hood where'he said he had been wound
ed, and they place little credence in his
statement.- -. ... .
*j''A'-> development of the case today
which Introduces a new ; element of
mystery is the disappearance 'of
Thomas Dolan- and his wife from their
home, where -Kennedy went after being
shot. Kennedy told the authorities
that he was shot near Jefferson square
and that, after sitting on a bench, in
the square for some time, he visited
the Kennedys, who* •were acquaintances,
andhad his wound bathed by Mrs.
Kennedy, v While he was in the house
the policemen on the beat discovered
his presence- and sent him to the re
ceiving hospital. Both Dolan and his
wife were to have, been Important wit
nesses at the Inquest to be held by the
coroner on Saturday, and their disap
pearance has mystified the police.' Mrs.
Dolan was seen in Oakland this after
noon and ,it Is thought that she .and
her husband are still in the city,
j Mrs.. Lizzie Kennedy of Dayton ave
nue,' .'. San 'Francisco, .was. at -.her 'son's
bedside' when, he/died... "She ' was 'sum
moned .to: Oakland 1 , yesterday.'by Stew^
ard Harry Borchert of Athe receiving
hospital after Dolan had failed to tell
her~bf her son's Injury.* He promised
the pollceUb notify her and started for
San Francisco. Since then he has not
been seen. \u25a0 .
Constable. Allen of Frultvale, who
was unwilling", yesterday to . identify
Kennedy as the robber .whom he had
shot, stated. today that he is now con
vinced that he is in reality the man.
His .clothes and build tally exactly
\v*th those of the cracksman' who es
caped and a certain facial . expression
which .he assumed, .frequently during
his conscious moments was recognized
by Allen. and Deputy Constable Becker
as the same which appeared on the face
of the man when they entered, the lum
ber: company offlce * after the explosion.
Only ' 49 cents was In the safe "when it
was blown open;

this afternoon and held a conference

POLICE ;. THEORY. FALLS ; " '
In their investigation of the Oakland
end of the shooting of Kennedy, the
authorities evolved a theory thatpossi
bly. the -young man had been shot in
the Dolan house in a- quarrel over Mrs.
Dolan. \ This was- worked upon, S, but
nothing tangible resulted. The absence
of the Dolans led to the suspicion. . But
Sheriff Barnet and Constable Allen hold
to" the view that 'Kennedy was actually
with ; Hanson,' despite the failure of ; the
prisoner to identify; him. It-was re-^,
>orted' at ' Frultvale tonight" that othen
witnesses had been located by the
