MASKED ROBBER
WOUNDS THREE
BUT IS CAUGHT
Intoxicated Teamster Holds Up
14 Men in Saloon at
Revolver's Point
Woman's Cries for Help Frighten
Bandit, Who Is Captured
After Auto Pursuit
Crazed with liquor and h^nt on rob
bery, George Smith, a teamster, masked
and armed, reeled into the saloon of
Giovanni Ghiotto at 4534 Mission street
at 4:20 o'clock yesterday morning and
commanded the 14 men in the place
Jo throw up their hands. His attempt
to rob the till and the patrons of the
piajee was foiled by the wife of the
proprietor, who, hearing shots in the
saloon, rushed down Ftairs from the
apartments above, and glaring into the
barrel of Smith's smoking revolver,
which he had discharged at three of his
intended victims, rushed into the street
calling for the police.
After a chase in an automobile by
Policemen A. W. Hextrum and M. E.
Mitchell, Smith, who had thrown his
mask and revolver aside, was captured
while endeavoring to catch an owl Mis
sion street car and was booked at the
Ingleside station on one charge of at
tempted robbery and three charges of
assault with intent to commit murder.
FIRES IXTO CROWD
In giving- his command to the in
mates of the saloon to "line up." Smith
discharged his pistol at Ghiotto, who
sustained a scalp wound; Salvador Bas
so of SOS Edinburgh street., who \u25a0was
wounded over the right eye, and Frank
Sullivan, who was slightly cut across
the chest by a3B caliber bullet. It was
at this juncture that Mrs. Ghiotto came
upon the scene and frightened Smith
into Right.
The would be holdup man dashed
bat of the place, up Mission street to
Onondaga street, and was closely pur
sued by a number of his intended vic
tims in an automobile. The policemen
jumped into the auto and, sighting
Smith, ordered him to stop. He cast
aside his handkerchief mask and his
pistol, and made a final effort to catch
a par, but was overtaken and placed
ur.tier arrest.
Ail three of Smith's victims were
taken to the Mission emergency hos
pital, where their slight flesh wounds
were dressed. That none of the wounds
was fatal was not the fault of the
n.r. n now in custody, for he shot de
liberately at the line of 14 men as they
IUSHES IXTO SAIyOOX
According to the story told to the
l>oiiee, Ghiotto was behind the bar at
the time and was serving drinks to a
number of milk wagon drivers who
were in the place. With no attempt
to take a preliminary survey of the
interior. Smith rushed through the
swinging doors and. with pistol drawn
and his face shielded behind a large
white handkerchief, commanded all in
the place to hold up their hands. There
was immediate confusion and to empha
size his command Smith fired deliber
ately at Ghiotto and turned the weapon
on the group of patrons. As soon as
it was clear that a holdup was taking
place all present put their hands above
their heads and waited ror the search.
With Ghiotto bleeding and Basson also
wounded. Smith completely cowed the
gToup and was moving forward to take
their valuables and money when the
woman appeared from a rear doorway.
Smith turned his pistol on her, but
she tamed and fled. He then discharged
the revolver at the group, cursing as
he did so, and dashed back through
the front door of the saloon.
His third shot, fired as he left the
place, struck Sullivan.
PLEADS INTOXICATION
AX the central station Smith declared
that he knew nothing of the matter
other than that he entered the saloon
and discharged his pistol while under
the Influence of liquor. He insists that
he \u25a0was not sober- and knew little of
what he was doing at the time.
The witnesses who were commanded
to stand up by Smith were Leo Don
<lero, Gus Maria and. Tony Pochela of
276 Bartlett street; C. Faboroni. Pet
titto Fortinl and Shejl Macs of 43 Har
rington street: J. W. Murray of 234
Paris street, Elizi Mario of 276 Bartlett
street, H. E. Bovert of 437 Lisbon
street. Tortllli Musanti of Sll Paris
street, and those injured by Smith's
wild firing. All declared that Smith
was Intoxicated at the time. *

GOVERNOR GIVES
REASONS FOR CALL
Says Extra Session of Legisla
ture is Necessary to Change
the Amendment
f Special Dispatch to The Call]
SACRAMENTO, Oct. 2.— Governor
Gillett. returned late last night from
Humboldt county, where he has spent
the last two weeks, and gave his rea
sons for changing his mind and call
ing an extra session of the legislature,
as. follows: '. . . ; .. .
"I was given wrong information at
first, and did not think it necesnary to
put the state to the expense of the ses
sion. 1 was told by attorneys that the
measure was valid as it was.
"It was pointed out by others that
there was danger sin passing the
amendment, in its. present form, and I
saw the uncertainty in tjie language.
The state had spent money in the com
mission and securing the data, and all
this would be lost if the amendment
was not drawn up properly.
"The^ session^ should not last more
than one day, as the insertion of three
words is all that is necessary for the
members to do," , . •

PROOF OF LECTURER
IS HIS OWN BODY
Christjan Science Speaker Says
Religion Cured Him
The doctrines of the Christian Science
faith illustrated by a cure effected in
himself were outlined in a lecture giv
en at the Columbia theater yesterday
afternoon by Frank H. Leonard. C. S.
B*» of Brooklyn, N. V., a member of
the Christian Science board of lecture
ship.
The speaker said that the work which
Christian Science is doing is enabling
the world to elimjnate. from conscious
ness and belief that there is any other
than the spiritual life. "To be a Chris
tian." he said, "means to be a follower
of Christ, and to be a follower of Christ
one must be a doer of the word' and
must bring out all the fruits which
Jesus said should be brought out by
those who followed him in spirit and
in truth." j
Speaking of his own case he said
that in* 1885, when a boy, he was af
flicted with a disease declared by physi
cians to be incurable, and, as a last re
sort, sought the aid of Christian Sci
ence, with the result that he recovered.
"Since then," he said, "I have seen
ills of every description met and over
come by Christian Science. I have
seen men an r ] women made well moral
ly and physically and my continued
study makes me sure that Christian
Science both practically and transcend
entally is. the most precious of all. the
good of which human, consciousness
may conceive."
The speaker praised Mrs. Eddy high
ly, saying that as a religious reformer
she occupied a unique position in the
history of the world.
"She is unswerving in her trust in the
goodness of God," he said, "and un
questioning in her obedience to his com
mands."
