Theappear ance of an unknown young man believed to be an American, wear ing a diamond necktie at the open ing of the Empire theatre last night greeted a scene naver to be paralleled in a stall of the west end theatre, which , resulted in his removal from the building.

Ellis, to a quiet place in Berkeley and there mur der and. rob him of 5000 which he had on his person, was partial ly carried out!this afternoon by a man and woman,.' whom the police believe to be desperate crooks. ' . They had persuaded Ellis to come with them to America and . race horses here. Tod ..y they brought Ellis from a hotel in Oakland to, a cottage on 22 14 Ellsworth street, a stone's throw from the Univer sity of California, bade him to sit down to lunch, then crashed his skull with a hammer. The woman fired two shots at him as he lay prostrate. The crooks rifled his pocksts of an amount equal nearly to $5ooo in American money, then leaving their victim for dead, hur riedly left the house and made their eecape. Ellis regained consciousness and staggered to the California - stables, two blocks away on McAlliseon Way, and from there was carried to Roosevelt Hospital where the doctors found that he had a fract ured skull. He is in a precarious condition tonight... EIIib' home is at 225 Crown St., Sidney, Australia, where his wife and three children reside. He is a prominent horseman there and met his assailants there during the last eeason. They represented themselves to be a Mr. "and Mrs. S. W. Curtis, but assumed the name of Brush in this counlry. Cur tis claimed to be a wealthy race horse man, owning . big stables here. He offered Ellis the position of manager of his stables, and in duced him to sail with them on the steamer Sierra, which, arrived in SanFranci6c6. a week ago. Curtis and tbe woman came to Berkeley and rented a furnished cottage on .Ellsworth street from a local agent. Ellia took apartments in a hotel in Oakland. The couple bad apparently made all prepara tions to carry out, the fiendish crime. - A bowie-knife, stilleto, pistol, butcherknife, a bottle of poisonous acid, and a pair of rubber gloves were found hidden under the bed covers adjoining the dining room, where the assault took place. Taj carpet nailed to the dining room floor was ripped up and a large piece of thin oilcloth was put down instead evidently for the purpose of avoiding bloodstains on the car pet. Ellis1 skull was fractured by a blow from a hammer wielded by Curtis, who approached from - be hind while the guest was seated at the lunch table. Ellis held up bis haad to ward off a second blow and received the weapon on the wris', which was badly bruised. The in jured mau says that he saw the woman standing with a revolver and that she fired two Bhots at him. Curtis tore the coat from Ellia and found a roll of notes to the amount of looo in Ellis hip pock et. In their haste they overlooked $513.34 in American money in an other pocket. That Curtis and the woman made a hasty escape is shown by the fact that they left a complete wardrobe of the most costly clothing behind , including the contentjof two steam er trunks,., two suitcases, hand satchels and two small trunks. In all the clothing and personal effect there was not a single photograph or mark to tbe real identity of the criminals. The police however, have good descriptions of both par ties. John Edward, a high school student, playing tennis loo yards from the scene, says he beard the screams of a man about 3 o'clock. Ten minutes later, he saw a tall man in a light suit, with a small woman in a brown dress, running down Ellsworth etreet to catch a car. The neighbors who saw them going in and out this week say the woman was slender, a blonde, wore many diamonds and dressed elegantly. London, Oot. 11. Princess Chria tion has iesued an appeal on behalf of the national committee for the establishnvnt, of a sanatoria for, workers suffering from tuberculosis This organization formed under the auspices cf the Hospital Saturday fund, is an .exceptionally represen tative body including delegates from practically al tbe great ben evolent societies and " the trades unions. , . : .
