Clements fell to the sidewalk, but managed to draw his own revolver In time to empty it his fleeing assailant. All of the bullets apparently went wide, how' as the footpad disappeared In the darkness. The noise of the shooting aroused residents of the neighborhood, and the police removed the wounded reporter to the receiving hospital, where Dr. 11.

Irwin found that the bullet had penetrated the left breast and had ranged downward through the body, lodging in the muscles of the back. BULLET MISSES HEART In Its course through the body the bulle-t just missed the top of the left lung and the main arteries of the heart. Dr. Irwin removed the ball and pronounced the wound one of the most remarkable he h2d ever seen, on account the fact that apparently it had touched no vital spot. Clements was taken to the Oakland central hospital this afternoon, and late this evening he was resting easily.

If the wound does not become infected his physicians say that he has a fair chance of recovery. Clements, who is a Kentuckian. was on his way to his home. S6O Chestnut street, when, at the corner of Tenth and Linden streets. the footpad stepped from behind a tree and.

leveling a revolver at Clements' head, commanded him to throw up his hands. STRUGGLE IV DARKNESS With contemptuous disregard for danger.

Margaret Moffat, Vaudeville Artist COMEDIAN FEATURE OF ORPHEUM BILL Frank Fogarty Charms Big Audience With Fund of Humorous Stories OAKLAND. May 4. The fun at the Oakland Orpheum this week is of the fast and furious variety, the program being perhaps the snappiest vaudeville show that has dazzled the devotees of modern variety Entertainment since the memorable engagement of the Orpheum road show last January.

There are enough stars on the program this week to fit out half a dozen ordinary vaudeville bills. Frank Fogarty is the feature of the show. For rapid fire humor Fogarty runs away with the honors. They say he is a star in Broadway and that his name is a household word In York. All of that may be true, but in Oakland he is a stranger, or rather was a stranger until Sunday.

Now he has added Oakland to the cities that acclaim him as the "king of Irish comedians." Margaret Moffat as the telephone girl in "Awake at the Switch" shares the hit, though Tom Nawn in his clever character sketch, Politician," is fairly among the 'topliners. Sandor's miniature cirque is a European novelty that goes well. Arcadia, the girl violinist, provides a good musical feature. iVj Knight brothers and Marlon Sawtelle have a good singing-, dancing and' comedy act. The Sandwinas, European acrobats, and Fred Ray's players in an amusing travesty complete the bill.

Next week the program is to be headed by Grigolati's famous aerial ballet.

WILEY'S PLAY DEFEATED Prof. E.

J. -Wickson, head of the department of agriculture of the university, and director of the United States experiment station on the campus, who is also editor of the Pacific Rural Press, a magazine devoted to the farming interests, has taken up the cudgels in behalf of the fruit growers against Dr. Wiley, and in the last issue of the magazine described his recent attempt thus: "There has been a sulphurous atmosphere in the fruit drying valleys ever since the report came that our. wide awake friend Dr. Wiley had secured some sort of a rider on an appropriation bill declaring that he should not be interfered with in the exercise of his sweet will in regard to California fruit drying.

He seems to have in the back part of his thinker the idea that the 'referee board' of former President Roosevelt might be thrown out as an unconstitutional body and therefore not to be hearkened unto. Now comes a dispatch from Washington which indicates that our delegation has not been asleep at the post. The statement is that the referee board of the department of agriculture, the duty of which is to investigate the wholesomeness of foods and articles used in foods, is a legally constituted body, and that there was. ample authority to appoint it. The decision was 'by Attorney General Wlckersham.

The decision means that the board's work on the wholesomeness of sulphur, a saccharine and copper salts, will be continued, and we may therefore expect that the board will come to California to personally investigate our practices this summer, as we have fondly hoped it would do. The valley atmosphere has had more ozone in it since the news came." TAYLOR STUDYING PROBI-EM Prof. Alonzo E. Taylor, head of the department of medicine of the university, is a member of the referee board, and is now studying the problems of fruit drying in Europe. -He-will' return here this summer with other members of the board after its meeting in New York and make a further study of the local conditions.

Secretary James Wilson of the: department of agriculture may also come to the coast at that time." He, was here a year ago and after looking into the problem agreed that the fruit growers' rights should protected' and suggested that the decision of the referee, board be final. SALT METHOD DECLARED FAULTY Professor Wickson said this afternoon that 25 years of fruit drying: in California had proved that Dr. Wiley was in en'or when he said that salt was better than sulphur for fruit drying. Professor Wickson said: "Drying and curing fruits with sulphur has been used in California for the last 25 years and its practicability has been demonstrated in every way. The salt and steam drying advocated by Dr.

Wiley is entirely impracticable. We have experimented with salt and know what we are talking about. Dr. Wiley has his own Ideas about the drying of fruits and will not be convinced by reason. SULPHUR AX IDEAL DRYER "Sulphur drying prevents contamination of the fruit without" harm being done in any way.

It is an ideal, dryer, as has been in this state; it preserves the natural color of the fruit and. unlike which Dr. Wiley advocates, which does not dry, it does not take up the moisture. "I am firm believer that the methods now used in thisistate. for the drying of fruits by sulphur are thebest obtainable, no matter what opinion others may have.

It has been demonstratedby time and results. No harm Is done and when the referee" board visits California this summer it will agree with my ideas, which are those of the farming men of the state."

His lecture in the rooms of the chamber of commerce of this city was well After describing the various species of common housei fly and its life history from, the pupa to the full grown stage. Professor Hernia said that the covering of piles of refuse which were generally left uncovered' would mean the. elimination of the fly.

OF LI VERY STABLES said: "Chief of all'methods is to place -horse manures and other refuse in garbage cans, which should be kept closed, to prevent ingress or egress of flies. 'There is.no reason why this method should not be readily applied in the case of livery stables where many horses are kept. Livery stables in Washington." D. have accomplished this successfully. "Where manure is not scattered thinly over the ground to cause drying out, and is already accumulated and breeding: flies, it must be treated with an insecticide.

the newspapers for the removal ot superfluous hair, but there is little of- fered by the manufacturers of these preparations In the way of substantial evidence of their worth. This is not the case with the well known method. De Miracle. who has made a thorough, study of superfluous hair speaking of a case In which he used De Miracle, says: "I applied De Mira- cle and in a few minutes I had her lip devoid of hair without. any pain whatever.

I instructed her to call again In two weeks, which she did. I found about one-fourth of the hair roots were not killed by the first application, so I made a second application. I saw her again in about a month, and found her lip as clear of hair as an infant's. I can heartily recommend De Miracle for all the uses for which the manufactur- ers recommend it." If De Miracle were not the only non- poisonous and the best preparation In the world for the removal of superfluous hair, we could not set the indorsement of so many prominent physicians, sur- geons, dermatologists, medical journals and magazines. take a doctor's advice, don't be deceived by" startling statements made by the fake free advertisers.
