16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1895 LADY DOUGLAS NOW. The Son of the Marquis of Queensberry Mar- ries the Actress. SHE WAS LORETTA ADDIS The Ceremony Performed atl San Jose Yesterday by a Justice. AT THE CATHEDRAL TO-DAY. The Bride Little Impressed by Her New Relatlon—Story of the Courtship. Lord Sholto George Douglas, youngest son of the Marquis of Queensberry, and Miss L. M. Mooney, better known by her stage name of Loretta Addis, were married yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock in San Jose by Township Justice Dwyer. The couple left this city in the morning, accompanied by their mutual friend, F. H. Robertson, ap insurance man of 1030 Mis- sion street. Shortly after their arrival at San Jose they went to the office of the County Clerk, where a2 marriage license was procured. ‘The party then proceeded to the courtroom of Township Justice Dwyer and requested him to perform the ceremony which would unite his lordship to the little actress, with whom he was infatuated. Lord Douglas had on a checked suit. He was very awkward and very quiet, and the affair seemed to be under the manage- ment of Robertson. who has been acting as his adviser for some time vpast. He gave his age as 22 years. Miss Addis acted in a most vivacious manner while in_court. She was attired in a plain black dress, and no one would have guessed from her garb that she was about to marry a Lord. The license stated that she was but 18. The ceremony was duly performed, and at its close the bride turned to her newly made husband and said jubilantly: “It’s all over now. Kiss me, dear,” Douglas awkwardly complied. There was no display of wealth in any way, and it even required a reminder from the Justice before there was any move- ment made toward paying the usunal fee. Then Donglas reluctantly drew out his purse and brought forth $3. The party asked to have the affair kept secret, and went from the courtroom direct to the depot, and took the 5 o’clock train for San Francisco. Soon after their arrival here they made their appearance at the Auditorium, where Lady Douglas is now performmg. She informed no one of her marriage, but pre- pared to take her usual part in the evening’s performance. She was found, dressed in a bright red costume and made up all ready to “go on,” seated in one of the proscenium boxes, in company with a fellow actress, who immediately excused herself and left. When asked the direct question as to whether she was not married to Lord Douglas, she hesitated slightiy before re- plying and then answered: iYes, I am married.” “Did Lord Douglas get a favorable re- ly to his letter to his father asking the atter’s consent?”’ “No, but we concluded to get married and keep the fact quiet till we heard from Sholto’s father. Then we intended to be married in church. But as long as the news is out 1 think we will get married in church to-morrow, won’t we, Sholto?”” she concluded, turning to the bridegroom, who had just entered the box. She then left her seat and taking a chair next to_ his lordship began a_short, subdued, pleading conversation. After a few seconds she looked up saucily at the interviewer and said: “Yes, we will be married to-morrow at St. Mary’s Cathedral by Father Prender- ast.’” £ A dispensation was obtained for the mar- riage two days ago. Several times during this brief diaiogue the bride excused her- self for her inattention, stating that she loved to watch the faces in the audience; there were so many different and interest- ing ones. She was among the heartiest applauders of the performers. When she was more than usually pleased with the rformance of an actress, she cailed out to er husband : you face And_ throughout the interview she showed the same remarkable indifference to the fact that she had just become a bride and the wife of a Lord at that. She seemed thoroughly rapt in her profession and took more interest in discussing that than her marriage, thongh she was not averse to speaking on either subject. She stated that until Lord Douglas heard from his family she would continue on the stage, but would in any event fulfill her present contract with the Leavitt Special! Company, which requires that she shal appear here next wee; Sacramento and two weeks also at San Jose. Her specialties are singing and dancing. She goes on alone and also with a brother, their forte lying in the rendering of duets. His voice is a tenor and hers a contralto and she takes the greatest delight in the applause called forth by her efforts. n the course of further conversation she stated thai she came of age on the 20th inst., and was born in Oakland. The in- formation was also volunteered that until Lord Douglas heard from@¥his father they would not%ive together. She would con- tinue to stay with her mother and her hus- band at the Pleasanton in this City, or wherever he chose during their travels. The hasty marriage, it was learned, had clap? Isn't she sweet? Took at her ho then two weeks at | thisis 15; but I hurt my foot at San Jose, and cannot dance well to-night.” The foot, as she exhibited 'it, seemed to be all right, and the mother said that it had only been rubbed by her shoe. | The gride’s brother, Thomas Addis, | joined the party in the box, and in the | course of an interview said: “I have been on the stage with my sister about eight weeks. Now, I want to tell you that Doug- {las is a good square young man and not | the simpering idiot that he is represented | to be, but he has been so horribly roas ted by the reporters thatj he is awfully | shy of an interview and will hardly say a word. “The story of the marriage is now out, | and I want to have it pleasantly told. M{ | sister, the bride, is a well educated girl. | She has girlish impulses and is ambitious, [bun she has a good influence on Doug- las.” | | **What are the best things she can do on the stage—something that would take in New York or London ?”’ was asked. “She sings a song, ‘I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard,’ and does a 'Sp:mlsh_dan'ce | that would be an attraction in any city.” Lord Sholto Douglas, son of the Marquis | of Queensberry, first met his bride in Frank Carson’s resort at Bakersfield known as the Bijou. This was in April last. He | had only seen her a few times before he W, OF QUEENSBERRY. LORETTA ADDIS, THE ACTRESS, NOW LADY SHOLTO GEORGE DOUGLAS AND THE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW OF THE MARQUIS been strongly urged by the groom. His fiancee had Tecently received a love letter from one of the members of the English col- ony in Kern County, composed largely of the younger sons of English and Irish peers, and he did not propose to take any chances of losing his bride-elect. “But will not Lord Douglas be disin- herited for marrying against his wishes?’’ she was asked. “Why, no; there was never anything said by his father to the effect that he would disinherit him. That is a mistake. He simply wrote and asked Sholto to wait. ‘We don’t expect there will be any further objection from his folks, now that we are married.” Lord Sholto came into the stage box at the auditorium shortly after 9:30 and listened in a bored manner to an interview in progress, wherein his wife and mother- in-law were replying to questions pro- pounded by newspaper men. Fyopoged marriage. It is said she rejected his suit at first, and also that her brother disapproved of the match. After some pressing of the point Lord Sholto won the day and went out and se- cured the marriace license and wedding ring. Officious friends of the young noble- man interfered, however, and in order to Frevent the marriage had Lord Sholto ocked up in jail on a charge of insanity. There was no prosecution of the case, how- ever, and the would-be bridegroom was re- leased, not only thankless for those who had saved him from becoming a benedict, but vowing vengeance upon them for thwarting his purpose. Then he came to San Francisco and was interviewed here. At thattime he said it was not his intention to wed the pretty variety singer, and that he had been rather hazy from the effects of strong drink when he proposed the marriage. He said, however, that both Loretta and her Lord Sholto is extremely shy of news- brother had opposed the match at first, “Isn’t she pretty, Sholto?

The newspapers have not treated me very well in this country. I have only lived in America several months and most of that time in Bakers- field. I have not yet fixed my plans for returning to England, but expect to return there sometime. I Lave not yet re- ceived any letters or telegrams from Eng- land approving of my marriage, but on this subject I do not care to be inter- viewed.” At this stage of the interview his bride came over and taking a seat beside him said: ““‘We will be married again to-morrow.” “Oh, nol” replied Sholgl. ““Oh, yes,” she persisted. ‘“We will be married once more. You will consent just to please me.” “Well, all right,” replied his lordship, who then tock his departure for another pl.‘s‘c&e in the 3ugienc%. ou see,’” she said after he had gone, “that he will do anything to leaseg me.

Imustgo on the stage 500n—19 is my number, and and that she had told him he was notin earnest and would regret the action. He then explained to the San Francisco reporters that he could not think of marry- ing against his parents’ will, because he had no income of his own and must depend upon them for all nisresources. He added that the good times he had enjoyed while in California had all been ‘“‘cash on delivery,”’ and that it had cost him a pretty penny. He said he was still keeping up a corre- spondence with Loretta, butthat he had assured her she could not become Lady Sholto—not because he did not desire it (he was frank enough to admit that he did), but because of the probable objection of his parents. He was very much put out about the rotoriety he was gaining in the newspapers, and conducted himself very quietly while here to avoid more of it. No ‘long ago, however, his name was again in the press, because of a suit for $125 bronfht against him by the lawyersat Bakersfield, who alleged that so much was due them on his personal note for gervices in releasing him from jail. Lord Sholto replied that as there had been no prosecution and that he had been discharged without any effort or motion on behalf of the lawyers, they had there- fore fferlormed no seryices for him and he owed them nothinfi. It was on April 24 that Lord Sholto was released from the Bakersfield jail. He came north at once and registered at the i Lexington, in this City. May 6 he was infiervifiwed at the home of a friend, with whom he was then stopping. . May 20 Loretta Addlx)slj or Miss Mooney, and her mother arrived here from Bakers- field, and they likewise were interviewed. They were inclined to be reticent about the marriage, but both remarked that Miss Addis could have been Lady Sholto had she but consented at the proper moment to walk across the street to the church.

They Are Trying to Steal Into the Country From British Co- lumbia. Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald received word early yesterday that eight Japanese contract laborers had arrived from Victo- ria, B. C., on the steamer Umatilla. With Immigration Commissioner Stradley he boarded the steamer and found that the Japanese were all providea with certificates issued in Victoria by the United States Commissioner at that place which author- ized their landing in this port. The Japs were allowed to land, although against the protest of Mr. Fitzgerald, who believed that the holders were merely contract laborers. The certificates were_to say the least carelessly and irregularly drawn. A short time ago thirty-six Japs were landed under similar circumstances and they went direct to a farm in Fresno. Mr. Fitzgerald’s deputies are now in Fresno for the purpose of learning whether or not they are really contract laborers. If they are they are likely to be deported. Mr. Stradley has information that tnere are now in Victoria over 800 Japanese waiting for opportunities to get into the United States, but it is doubtful if they attempt to come by steamer. Considerable dissatisfaction is expressed at the indifference of the Commissioner in Victoria. FOR MURDER AND ARSON Charles Inman’s and W. W. de Winton’s Cases Before Judge Wallace. The Former Given Life Imprison- ment and the Latter to Be Retried. Charles Inman, convicted of murdering his wife, Cora Inman, alias Rice, a dive actress, was up before Judge Wallace yes- terday for sentence. When asked whether he had anything to say before judgment was pronounced he launched into a glow- ing tribute to his attorney (Woodbury), who, he declared, had defended him in a manner that was beyond all praise. He said that he had not committed the crime, as far as he knew, but was willing to abide by the decision of the court. Judge Wallace referred to the recom- mendation to mercy attached by the jury to their verdict and complimented Attor- ney Woodbury on the defense he had made in the case. As the jury had fixed the venalty at life imprisonment it remained for him to order the prisoner taken to the State prison and there confined for the term of his natural life. Inman’s defense was that he committed the crime unconsciously while insane through drinking cheap wine and mixed h(“xors. V. W. de Winton, who was convicted of arson in burning his house on Dolores street a few months ago, also appeared for sentence. In his case a motion for a new trial was denied, but an arrest of judgment was granted, the court stating that the conviction would not stand, as there was no law prohibiting a man from burning his own house. Judge Wallace soon dashed the prison- er’s newly awakened hopes, however, by ordering his commitment into the custody of the Sheriff pending the filing gainst him of a new information charging him with an attempt to commit arson for the purpose of obtaining insurance. Bail was set at $5000. Several minor sentences followed. Ed- ward M. Jewett, convicted of forgery, was awarded four years in the State prison; Samuel Phipps, guilty of assault, was given three months in the County Jail, and Gustave Seaman, convicted of burglary, was ordered imprisoned in the penitentiary for four years. e “THE strength of Royal Baking Powder is shown to be 23 per cent greater than any other. “Asaresult of my investigations I find the Royal Baking Powder far superior to any others.

Assemblyman Tibbitts of Amador Tells of the Mines About Pheenix and Prescott in Arizona. Assemblyman James H. Tibbitts, a well- known mining man of Amador County, returned from the newly discovered mines in Arizona yesterday. He had spent a month in looking over the prospects, and says they are most fi)romlsmg, especially about Prescott and Pheenix. ““The activity of these two cities reminds me of the bonanza times of 1876 in Virginia City,” said Mr. Tibbitts yesterday. loons abound everywhere. They are ablaze with lights, and all are running gambling games at full blast. The camps never sleep and the orchestras keep play- ing into the next morning. . “‘Of course,” he added, "I didn’t go look- ing for these things. But they are thrust upon you and you can't avoid seeing them there.” g According to Mr. Tibbitts, the prosperity of the mining districts is assured. There has been some very rich finds, and a large quantity of Eastern capital bas been cen- tered in Arizona. Improvements are being made everywhere, and many hoisting Slants and’ stamping-mills have been or- ered at great expense = - 2 VISITING cards and invitations printed or engraved in our stationery department.

The Attention of the Bar Asso- ciation Called to John R. Aitken. AN EXPLANATION IN ORDER. Judge Murphy Requests the At- torney to Repudiate the Charges Against Him. The charges against John R. Aitken have stirred up more than ordinary interest. Am(?ng the men who began quietly in- vestigating was Attorney M. M. Foote, one of whose fads is the purification of the bar. As a result of his investigations Mr. Foote decided that the matter should be brought before the Bar Association and re- ported thence to the Supreme Court. He therefore wrote that body the followir letter: i 7 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 31, 1895. To Hon. Edward B. Taylor, President of the Bar dssociation of San Francisco: As a meinber of our honurubledprufu,\slon and fully realizing that none should be permitted to practice or belong 10 our honorable profession who are morally unfitted therefor, and realizing that it is & matter of great concern to the public and deeming it my duty as an attorney 10 call your attention to the willful misconduct and un- Professional acts of John R. Aitken in that gertain case entitled F. O. Kobbins vs. A. Haskins, No. 50,289, pending in our Superior Qourt, I charge’said John R. Aitken of 492 Montgomery street with having been guilty of unprofessional conduct as en attorney and counselor-at-law in said case and with having Violated section 160, subdivision 1 of the Penal C&‘)de of this Siate, which reads as follows: "Every attorney who, whether as attorney OF &8 counselor, either—first, is guilty of any deceit or collusion, or consents to any deceit or collusion with intent to deceive the court or any party, is guilty of a misdemeanor,” And I'further charge John R. Aitken with hn\’m.g violated section 287, subdivision 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure of this State, which section relates to removal and suspen. sion of attorneys for unprofessional conduct, and, as will appear by the following clipping setting forth the facts and taken from the San Francisco CALL of May 31, 1895, 1 charge said John R. Aitken with Laving “violated his duty as an attorney,” and I further call your atten- tion to the case of the People vs. Spencer, 61 Cal. 130, wherein our Supreme Court decided as fotlows: “By appearing both for plalntiff and_defend- &0t i the same action, he was guilty of ‘& vio. lation of his duty &s an aitorney,’ for which it 5 our duty to remove or suspend him. [C, C. P. Sec. 287.] " Neither his ignorance of the laws nor the crudity of his notions of professional ethics, can excuse &n offense against profes- sional propriety by one whose duty it is o &s- sistin the administration of justice.” I deem it for the public welfare that such persons should be exposed and not permitted to Prey upon the public by resorting to such prac. tices as are charged by me against said John R, Aitken, and as will sppear by the annexed clipping from the San Franeisco CALL, and I respectiully ask your honozable body to in- vestigate this matter fully, and that you take such action in the premises as are Jjustand proper and that will uphold and maintain the dignity and honor of our profession. Respect- fully yours, M. M. Foore. Judge Murphy was seen by Mr. Aitken vesterday morning in regard to the matter. The Judge, however, would hear nothing, and advised Mr. Aitken that what passed between them should be a matter of record. “He came to me in my chambers,” Judge Murphy said. “Itold him that'it the story printed in the CALL was not true he owed it to himself and to the bar to re- pudiate the statements made therein. I also told him that as I would have to act in the matter I did not want to hear from him then, but that heshould make a state- ment in open court in the form of affi- dayits.” Judge Murphy refused to speak op the case in particular. He said, though, that it was not considered good practice for an attorney to represent both sides in a case. Such action would, he thought, in general be conclusive evidence of fraud, and a judg- ment obtained by such means would most assuredly be set aside. “I will have to wait for the matter to be brought to my attention formally before I can take cognizance of it,”’ he said. “If such a story about an attorney were true, the matter should be carried at once before the Supreme Court and disbarment pro- ceedinfis begun. Matters of that sort are EBaerally akBA Inihiard by the BariNato. ciation. I think that it would be sufficient to forward the article printed in the CaLL, with the statement that those facts could be verified, to have a thorough investiga- tion instituted.” Theodore Savage, the attorney for C. W. For, to whom Contractor Haskins assigned $700 of his clsim against the Market-street Railway Company, said yesterday that he would not take any steps toward asking for Mr. Aitken’s disbarment now. Such action would re}uire him to fig to consider- able trouble and would not benefit him in the least. “You see,” he explained, ‘““we do not ap- pear in this case yet. Itis now merely an attempt of Mr. Aitken to establish his claim. Assoon as he does that, and Judge Murphi'{ %ives an order for the Market- street Railway Com{mny to pay over the money, then we will step in and rake Mr. Aitken all along the line. “You may be sure we will not neglect the manner in which his judgment was obtained by Mr. Aitken. y main_point, however, will be that his judgment is good only upon moneys remaining after the as- signed claims have been satisfied. It isan established fact in law that an equitable assignee has preference over a subsequent attaching creditor, and there is no question as to the equity of our assignments.” The position taken by Mr. Savage is also that ofol-‘. B. Lake, the attorney for the Market-street Railway Company. “I have said that there was no money due Mr. Haskins,” he said vesterday. “This is so; but it is not because his work ‘was not accepted. £ “The company owes Mr. Haskins noth- ing and Mr. Aitken nothing, because the amount due Mr. Haskins was exhausted by the assignments given by Mr. Haskins to the material men. Though they were not accepted in black and white, I neyer- theless considered them equitabfe assign- ments.” Mr. Lake then said that he hardly thought the assignees would get anything, as Mr. Haskins had guaranteed his pave- ment to last five years, and he understood it was not going tfo last. Mr. Aitken declares that he has been done a gross injustice. He says that he had no improper motives in what he did, and that he intends making a statement, backed up by affidavits, before J\ldge Murphy on Monday that will show the truth of his claims. “The whole matter rests in_this,” he said. “Mr. Haskins had promised to pay the attaching creditors out of the money coming to him on his contract. It rained six weeks steadily., He had other mis- fortunes and lost money. *‘He did not have enough to pay every one. Still, he did not want to go into bankruptcy. He wished to devise a plan whereby his creditors could pro-rate, and he told me he intended to give them notes for the balance due them. “Mr. Newburgh’s statement that T said a confession of judgment would look ‘rocky”’ is a lie. "The truth is I never thought of that step. If I had I would most assuredly have adopted it, for it would have facilitated what I consider a most proper action on Mr. Haskins’ part.” Mr. Aitken declares that Mr. Newburgh has betrayed confidences of the office in an unprofessional way. He says, too, that his former clerk has divulged secrets of the office which he could only have known by a surreptitious examination of his (Mr. Aitken’s) papers. He also has some very uncomplimentary things to say of Mr. Newburgh in regard to that young man's actions in the Douglass case.

The finance committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday heard a long argu- | [/ ment in behalf of the old claim of John | [/ J. Conlin, ex-Justice Paterson represent- | ing the claimant. The claim has been pressed one way or another for years. At the last session of the Legislature a bill | was passed directing the Auditor of the City and County to audit this claim for $61,577, and Judge Paterson appeared to ask the committee to make provision for it in the next tax levy. | The committee referred the matter to the City and County Attorney for an opinion as to the City’s liability under the new law. Mayor Sutro addressed a communica- tion to the committee regarding Douglas School, the school that has no playground and for which it was proposed to buy a lot belonging to Mrs. Geary, adjoining the school grounds, but because Mrs. Geary charged an exorbitant price the plan fell through. He stated that Mrs. Turpy, the rincipal of the school, had called upon gim and urged the great necessity of pro- viding a recreation ground for the chil- dren and he accordingly wrote to suggest that condemnation proceedings be insti- tuted against Mrs. Geary’s lot. The com- mittee decided that the action would be s H unwise. ‘With regard to the communication from the Board of Education calling for pro- vision in the next tax levy for %70,000 for four teachers of physical culture and the purchase of a gymnastic equipment the committee decided that it would be time enough to consider this when the tax levy was being made up and it would know better what the other demands were and what the totals were likely to be. The petition of the Mechanics’ Institute with regard to the bed of Mission Creek, which touches their property at Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Folsom and Harrison streets, was considered, and it was decided to au- thorize the Mayor to appoint a Com- missioner to appraise the value of the land as a preliminary step to making terms under which it may be sold. ————— A Fair Understanding.
