TO SOCIETY GIRL

Room, Presumably Victim
of Accident

Perkins, daughter of D. E.' Perkins and
a well known society girl of this city,

was as cheerful as usual. The family

sertions that Miss Perkins was the vic
tim of an accident, and investigation by

thought to havfe lighted only part of

and either fell asleep or was slowly
overcome by escaping gas. This
morning when she did not appear for
breakfast her father went to her room.

bed dead and the room filled with the
gas.

ily only a short time ago. She was the
only child. Her father, D. E. Perkins,

Investigation of Legislative Act
for Annexation a Matter of
Public Duty, He Says
BERKELEY, March 7.— ln . reply to
critics who censured the council for its
recent action in ordering the city at-,
torney to investigate the. act of- 1909
under which the annexation of cities is
possible. Mayor Beverly Hodghead said
today that the council was protecting
the city from expense and possible liti
gation. He said: ... .
"Tliere is a question whether the act
of 1909 is constitutional, arid in order
ing the city attorney to investigate the
matter the council desired to prevent
annexation being, affected under an
illegal act.
"If the act is constitutional the coun
cil does not desire to prevent the hold
ing of an election in any way. We are
merely trying to prevent litigation and
expense in case the legislative act will
not be upheld by the courts."

San Francisco District Attor=
•' ney's Office Blamed for
Lack of Evidence
; OAKLAND, March 7.— Mrs. Emilienrio
Sattler Simon, a Frultvale practitioner
of medicine; was dismissed this morn
ing:, by Police Judge Smith after a
preliminary examination' on a charge
of murder had begun. Prosecut
ing v^ttorney Decoto moved' for the
dismissal on the grounds of a defective
case for the state, and the magistrate
held that the- action was warranted.
'\u25a0:- Deeoto;blames the district, attorney's'
offlce/of San Francisco "for the result
of, the case. Doctor Simon was ar
rested for causing the death of Mrs.
Annie . Mott,' a San ' Franciscan , laundry
worker,', upon, wtiom she is. alleged to
have .performed a criminal operation.
The; complaint was sworn to by-Al
phonse Mott, ; husband of the dead
woman, » and- a dying statement .was
taken from Mrs. 5 Mott by an attache
of the San Francisco district attorney's
office.
The flaw was in the" taking* of 'this
statement. The, San. Francisco deputy
failed to ask Mrs. Mott if she believed
or had; been .apprised that she was
near to death.. This omission proved
to be an' irreparable defect in the evi
dence against Doctor Slmon.-

Boy Who Shot at School Official
Not One First Reported
OAKLAND, March ,7.— The Alameda
county boy who attempted to shoot
Military Instructor -White of the Pres
ton School of Industry at lone, when
the .latter attempted to \u25a0 capture him
after he had escaped from the school,
was Eugene Griffin, and not Albert
Brown,* as was at first reported. The
mistake in the . names was due to an
error made by Probation Officer Ruess,
who misinformed representatives of
the press In giving out .the Informa
tion. The two boj-s escaped from the
school at the same time. Griffin stole
a revolver from: the - bakery In the
school and fired a shot at his pursuer,
but he declares that he had no Inten
tion of harming him and that the wea
pon exploded on account' of his ig
norance of the working of the safety
device attached to it.
Both Griffin and Brown will prob
ably be sent to the penitentiary, as
there is no other place to which they
can be sent by the courts, now-'that
the reform schools have refused to har
