A freak windstorm rattled and buffeted things in general In the bay district last night and this morning. Most serious damage was the crippling of power, telephone and electric light service in several places.

Navigation, both bywater and air. was mad risky for small craft, and the wind lured several small yachts In San Francisco bay to drag thplr anchors and "play hookey." Wind velocity reached a climax of forty-one miles an hour, measurement, at the Oakland airport early this morning, tempering down to thirty miles nn hour at 10:80 o'clock. In the upper alrr, according to D. M. Little, associate meteorologist at the airport, the wind warn ripping along at much greater speed, making flfly miles an hour at an altitude of 4000 feet.

The record wind velocity for the day was reported from Redding eighty miles an hour at an altitude of 8000 feet. HIGH VELOCITY FOR THIS SEASON This is considered an unusually high velocity for this season of the year, according to Little. The first puff of wind blown from the capacious cheeks of old Boreas arrived without warning Just before sunset lust night, causing a small tidal wave on Lake Merrltt. Scores of persons, out on the lake In small boats and canoes, found their crnft suddenly seized and hurled up on the eastern shore. As It waa low tide, there was nothing for them to do but get out, climb up the muddy bank, and go home.

Attendants had a busy time Inter, when the wind subsided, getting the boats back to the municipal hoathouse. Just as a trl-motored Maddux air liner, with two pilots and ten passengers aboard, took for IOs Angeles this morning at Alameda airport, a gust of wind lifted the heavy craft off the after a ISO-foot run. Normal run for this type of plane Is from S50 lo 1000 feet. airport officials declared. BREEZES PROPEL PLANES ON TRIP Air line companies hoped to profit from the wind through pros-pectjve record times to be made on" southerly coast runs.

Electric light, power and telephone service was temporarily crippled at Nlles, and the southbound highway was blocked when the wind blew down a power pole and wires. The pole fell across the southern approach of the Alameda creek bridge. High tension wires spread In a snnrl across the highway, and local authorities Immediately established a patrol to prevent motorists and pedestrians from approaching the danger too closely. The barrier was removed and service resumed after an hour's work by telephone and 1 wer company crews. The gale was blowing twenty to thirty miles an hour off the coast from Point Reyes to Point San Luis, according to reports received by the San Francisco Marine Exchange.

At his request, a Jail hospital Interne gave him a sleeping potion last night. "But I could not sleep Just kept worrying," Pantages said today. What did the Jury mean by that word 'clemency'," he asked. When told that It was an appeal for mercy, Pantages brightened, but became dejected again when It was further explained that the court could but send him to prison for the one to fifty years prescribed by law. "I got a raw deal," he declared.

"The Jury should not have convicted a yellow dog on the evidence agulnst me. But I'm going to nsk for a new triul and I think I'll get it.

In 1900 he was made chanceflor, and subsequently was put often to appearances before the relchstag in defense of the Emperor.

He was said after an Interview by the Emperor with the London Dally Telegraph In October, 1908, to have broken Wllhelm'a pride, demanding and receiving from him a promise to curtail the royal tongue. He retired from the chancellorship in 1909. He married the Italian Princess dl Bologna In 1888, eloping with her when she was the wife of his chief, the Count von Doenhoff, at tho Prussian legation at Dresden. The scandal excited by the event was a long time in clearlhg. LASH WITH EMPEROR WINS CHANCELLOR, FAME, One of the best remembered Incidents of Prince von Uuelow's power behind the throne Is his triumph in curbing the impulsive utterances 'of his emperor, William II.

This crisis was in the fall of 1908. It came to a head when the London Telegraph published an interview In which the emperor was credited, among other indiscreet things, with having said that a majority of ths German people were hostfle to Great Britain. It brought a fire of criticism, not only from England, but from his own people down upon his own head. After a conference with the Von Buelow told the Reichstag that the emperor would henceforth "observe that strict reserve, even in private conversation, which is equally indespenslble in the interest of a uniform policy and for the authority of the crown." He added that In a contrary case, neither he nor any successor could assume the responsibility The emperor took the lesson seriously to heart. Prince von Buelow was classed second only to Bismarck and as the outstanding figure in the history of directions.

Firemen checnea ine blaze Just as it reached the house and apparently had succeeded In saving the residence. The home of Frank E. McGurrin, adjoining Sequoyah Country club, was entirely surrounded by fire and verythlng waa packed In readiness to move out. Firemen dashed In and told Mrs. Mctlurrin to move her household belongings out and they offered to aid her but she stopped them.

The fire was brought under control in the vicinity of the McGurrin residence, but moved toward the hills back cf It, where several other residences were in danger. The fire also swept toward Oak Knoll. WATER KEPT PLAYING WYCKOFF RESIDENCE William H. Wyckoff, real estate dealer living in the Sequoyah hills district, played water over his residence all afternoon despite the fact that his place was considered out of danger by the fighters. His home waa a block from the edge of the blaze at 2:20 o'clock.

Smoke was so thick he was un-abls to report on damage inflicted in the locality. He said he had heard that two homes within a half mile of his had burned to the ground. "I find that the flames broke out In five places simultaneously," he said. 'That could not happen by accident. Someone ran through the fields with a torch, touching it to piles of dry grass." Ths flames were driven by the wind up the slopes of the hills Into dry brush.

They advanced rapidly through ths rifle range of the National Guard in Douglas canyon. Lieut. Harry Holloway was forced to turn loose to shift for themselves in ths blazing hills 55 horses held at the range for use of a national guard cavalry regiment. The flames were continuing their advance. The army of fighters, who believed they had the conflagration under control when it split to surround the the Sequoyah club, found Ks efforts still futile when the wal lot flames was reunited southward of the resort.

The wind freshened about 2:30 and the flames broken forth again with new fury. The fire had its origin about 10 a. m. in the corporation yard of the Realty Syndicate on Redwood road opposite the projection of Fifty-fifth avenue.
