10 WEDDED NEAR THE COLLEGE WALLS, Leland Stanford Lathrop and Miss Watson Quietly Married. AN EVENT IN BERKELEY | Illness of the Bride's Mother Prevented Any Dis- play. BOTH PARTIES WELL KNOWN. Bride and Groom Started At Once for Their Honeymoon in South- ern California. BERKELEY, CAL., July 2.—One of the most notable, and at the same time one of the most quiet and unostentatious, weddings that was ever held in the uni- versity town took place this afternoon at the charter are determined not by the inten- tions of the framers, but by the letter of the charter; and whereas, accordine to J. Richard Freud’s own coniession, the machinery for amending the charter is so cumbrous and complicated that the instrument is almost in- capable of amendment; now, therefore be it Resolved, That we condemn, reject and re- pudiate the tactics of J. Richard Freud in sup- pressing the truth: (1) by concealing the fact that almost every good and desirable feature of the new charter is contained in our present laws; (2) by concealing the fact that it is un- constitutional to deny the citizens of each | State all priviliges and immunities ot citizens in the several States (Art. IV Sec.2); (3) by concealing the fact that the clause in question is so worded that no person who bas ever at- tended any other school but a public school can be a teacher in our public schools, for which these persons pay taxes; (4) by con- cealing the fact that this provision is an” A, P. A. provision, inserted for the Fnrpoae of in- juring peopleé of & certain religious denomina- tion; (5) by concealing the fact that this charter is supported by the united strength of the A. P. A. solely and entirely on account of this provision; (6) by concealing the fact that the Merchants’ Associstion and J. Richard Freud are wittingly or unwittingly doing the dirty work of the A. P. A.; and be it further Resolved, That we loathe, detest and abhor the tactics of J. Richard Freud in suggesting falsehood: (1) By insinuating that all the teachers in the School Department of San Francisco have obtained their positions by un. due influence and on grounds other than merit, ability and capacity; (2) by stating that the 1381 puplis of the Normal schools have no other chance of practicing their calling than by getting some of the 680 Elneesiu the City of San Francisco; (3) by hinting that the School Department of "this City is over- run with Eastern or foreign = teacher: (4) by suggesting that the young men and women of California who aspire to be teachers are not able to take care of themselves without special protection; (5) by stating that the framers of the charter were men of liberal ideas, when we know that many of them were owned body and soul by the A. P. A; and be it further Resolved, That we call on the members of the Merchants’ Association to inform us what | object they have in advocating this barbarous, retrograde, illiberal, unjust and bigoted sec- tion; and be it further Resolved, That we call on each ana every one of the 10,000 American women who have signed our roll to use their personal influence with the members of the Merchants’ Associa- i tion to find out what influence is at work to the Goodrich residence on Dwight way, | make these gentlemen support a provision Miss Lillian Marion Watson and Leland Stanford Lathrop. Leland Stanford Lathrop and Miss Lillian Marion Watson having been the con- tracting parties, The usual pomp and splendor at- tendant with weddings in high social life was absent, largely on account of | the illness of the bride’s mother. Only the nearest relatives of the bride and groom were present; they numbered in all about twelve persons. The Episcopal ceremony which made the pair busband and wife was rendered by Dr. E. B. Spaulding of Trinity School. Miss Rowena Watson, only sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, and Frank Van | Ness of San Francisco served as best man. The bride was attired in a plain travel- ing dress, while the bridesmaid was at- tired in a finely wrought gown of mousselin de soie. The presents received were numerous and elegant. It was expected that Mrs. Leland Stanford would be present, but on account of iliness she was prevented from 80 doing. Amid a shower of rice the happy couple was driven to the local train, by which they left for Southern California on their honeymoon. They will spend most of the time while in the South at Santa Barbara, after which they will return to San Francisco, where they will make their home. TART RESOLUTIONS. Women Object to Recent Utterances Made by J. Richard Freud. The following resolutions have been adopted by the American Women's Liberal League: WHEREAS, J. Richard Freud in his reply to the American Women’s Liberal League insinu- ates that said women use unfair tactics; and, whereas. there are no tactics more unfair than suppression of the truth and suggestion of the false; and, wheress, J. Richnrd‘]“rued states that "“the new charter opens the portal women to serve upon the Schoo! Board ; and, whereas, the law already in force, to wit Part I11, title iiii, chapter 3, article VI, section 1598, of the Political Code, provides ““that no person shall be deemed ineligible to the office of trustee on account of sex; and, whereas, wo do not need to “open the portals” to any loyal citizen, nor close the portals to any other loyal citizen; and, whereas, J. Richard Freud states that the new charter provides that “it shall be the - duty of - the Superintendent of Schools to see that no religious or sectarisn books or teachings are allowed in the schools”; and whereas tie very same provision is now in force by virtue of our present laws; and whereas, J. Richard Freud stated that the provis. ion of the charter excluding from the public schools all teachers except those who bave been educated in the public school sys. tem of California is based upon the most patri- otic motives, because in the first place there are only 680 !:luccs in our schosls and there are 1381 pupils in our Normal schools, and be- cause, n the second place, Eastern and foreign-born teachers with pulis have forced graduates of the University of Cali- fornia into menial positions; and where. as, it is untrue to say that these 1381 pupils are looking for (he 680 places in the City and County of San Franciseo, since “every school: from- Siskivou 10 San Diego is open to them; and whercas, there is no more reason wh‘y1 the municipaisty should provide johs for ‘the graduates of the Normal schools than that it should Erovlde jobs for the book- kecpers, stenographers, typewrilers, me- chanies blacksmiths or carpenters, who have graduated from the other schools; and whereas, it s untroe that our department is fiooded with Eastern end foreign teachers; and whereas, it i outrage that the Merchants’ Association of this City, many of whose mem.- bers are patronized by the present teache: should permit its secretury to insult the noble, able and ieli-ilcrlnzing)\\'nmen who hold po- sitions in our School Department by saying that they hold their positions neither by merit, ability nor capacity; and whereas, the section of the charter which J. Richard Frend aavo- cates makes it impossible for any one who has ever attended a private school even for the shortest period to become a teacher in the public schools; and whereas, this provision was introduced by the A. P. A, in order to destroy, if possible, the parochiai schools of a certain church by punishing all who might have had at sny time attended those schools; and whereas, the provisions of aimed at the adherents of a certain creed, and | be it further | " Resolved, That we postpone the consideration of the other provisions of the charter until our next meeting. MeCLATCHYS CORVTION |It Has Been Taken Up by the Free Press Defense As- sociation. A New Law Demanded to Protect People From Arbitrary Judges.

McClatchy was recently sub- jected to arbitrary conviction at the hands of the court he was alleged to have scored. In this case the court acted as accuser, jury and executioner, Following are the resolutions adopted : WHEREAS, Charles K. McClatchy, editor of the Sacramento Bee, on June 5 of this year was brought before Superior Judge Cailin, | whom he had offended by criticism, and, after being denied his inalienable right to be heard | in his own deiense, in accordance with the | constitution and the statutory laws, was fined , with the alternative of serving 250 days | in the County Jail; and whereas, the Legisia- | ture of this State in 1891, by an aimost unani- | mous vote in response to an_equally unani- | mous public sentiment, passed what is known as the Barry law, which law reads as follows: Nospeech, statement or publication reflect- ing upon auy court or any officer thereof shail be treated or punished s a contempt of such court unless made in the immedinte presence of such court while in session, and in such a manuver as o interfere with its proceedings. WHEREAS, Judge Catiin has declared that he 18 superior to ihe ;aw-making power and io his creators and that the above law is unconstitu- tional; tnerefore, be it Reso ved, That the act of Judge Catlin is in utter defiance of law and equity and of the fundamental principles on which this Govern- ment was founded; and be it further Resolved, That the act of Congress of March 381, 1881, passed for the pur of preventing the Judges of the United tes courts from ever denying a jury trial for words spoken or written, out of ‘court, concerning a Judge— and which act is_practically the fame as the lew passed by the Legislature in 1891—should be adoptea at the next session of tne Legisla- ture, and be submitted to the people as a con. stitutional amendment; and be it also P’ Raol‘::d.

THE WITNESS IS FRANK Admits That He Has Done Noth- ing on the Square Since 1804 HOW HE SAW THE PRIZE-FIGHT While Walking Past the Pavilion With an Officer They Were In- vited In. The cross-examination of witness Seaver or Dean consumed most of the time in the trial of Creegan and Becker yesterday in Judge Wallace's court. The conclusion of his direct testimony was given in the same easy and unembarrassed manner as his story on Wednesday. - The exception- ally strong and piercing cross-examina- tion of Attorney Dunne failed to confuse the witness, although it made him con- tradict in some details the testimony he had given in the McCloskey trial. Attorney Wilson continued his examina- tion of Beaver in the morning. Seaver had made an agreement with Creegan that the latter and Charles Becker should each receive one-fourth of the $20,000, i. e. $5000 apiece. After McCloskey and Seaver divided the money Seaver did not see Creegan until several weeks later, when he met him in New York. When Seaver bad left this City on the afternoon of December 19, 1895, he traveled under the name of S.C.Jones. The witness here identified the overland railroad ticket on which he had traveled East. Seaver was arrested in the St. Paul National Bank in Minnesota. McCloskey was arrested about the same time in Minneapolis, and both were brought back to this City about Mgrch 11 by Detectives Seymour and W?liltuker. Attorney Wilson went back again to the forged check. Before he came out from New York Seaver had procured various samples of bank paper and had given them to Creegan to be used by Becker. Seaver again examined the forged draftand swore that the perforated figures changing the draft from $12 to $22,000 had been made between the time he gave the original check to Creegan to give to Becker and the time when he received it again from Creegan. The statement made by Seaver to Cap- tain Lees on the morning after he was brought back to tLe City was substantiaily the same as the story told by the witness on the stand Tuesday and given at length | in yesterday’s CaLr. While in this City | Seaver often slept at the Hammam Baths, | where he often met Talbot Clifton ana ‘White Hat McCarthy. Seaver here men- tioned that his crooked career began with his arrest for having in his possession a $50 counterfeit bill. After that he fell with various forgers and engaged in vari- ous jobs. Seaver also_identified a sample of Cree- gan’s handwriting, with which he declarea he was familiar. A memorandum of ex- tracts from the Bankers’ Aimanac, with a list of various suitable banks in Minnesota and Dakota doing business with the St. Paul and Minneapolis banks, was offered in evidence as a_specimen of Creegan’s handwriting in spite of Attorney Dunne’s objection. Attorney Dunne began the cross exami- nation of the witness with some gaestions about Seaver’s statement made to Captain Lees, and introduced a copy of it which had been sworn to before a deputy clerk and forwarded to New York. Then the attorney for the defense began his attack upon the witness’ testimony. Seaver ad- mitted that he had no legitimate occu- paticn and had done nothing ‘on the square’ since 1894. He had been convicted ot felony three times, once for forgery and twice for counterfeiting. Seaver is at present under indictment for iorgery, but althonghthe was indicted before Creegan and BecKer, his trial has been postponed. He saia he wanted McCloskey’s trial to be completed first. Since his arrest he has not peen actually confined in acell. Al- though not admitted to bail, he has been allowed to go to various places in this City, the park, Cliff House, restaurants, telegraph offices and elsewhere. He had -l?o witnessed the prize-fight at the Pa- vilion, Seaver corroborated in general the de- tails of his direct testimony. Attorney Dunne pressed him particularly with reference to his intimacy with McCloskey. Seaver and McCloskey were together nearly every day, dining together at the “Pup’’ and the nkand.” At the opening of the afternoon session Attorney Dunne questioned the witness in refinrd to the raised draft. He gave as his opinion, after having examined the draft through a glass, that it was a very expert piece of workmanship. The gho!ugrlphic copy, which Captain Lees had shown him, disclosed imperfections in the work, and, judging from this only, Seaver had ex- pressed the opinion that it was a bungling Job. Seaver’s account of his actions on the morning when he drew the $20,000 con tra- dicted the testimony of Cashier Grant. Seaver denied that McCloskey or any one else had entered the bank with him or had suggested that he take the money in gold or had gone out with him. Before going into the bank he had gone into a saloon with McCloskey. After taking the money to the buggy, dniving to the Mission and returning to town, as Seaver recounted in his testimony on Wednesday, he and McCloskey divided the money and McCloskey went out for two or three hours. Meanwhile, Seaver :llm}ed and packed his bfilonginrs. in- cluding some &woo. in a valise and in a parcel. hen Seaver left the m be left McCloskey in charge of the money. This account ot the transaction differed radically from the statement made to Cap- tain Lees, in which it was said that the division of money was made at the Bald- win Hotel, and with Creegan, not McClos- key. BSeaver explained this b saying that at the time he signed the amd'.vn for Lees he had not read it through. He had originally told Lees that he had divided the money with a man whose name he Gid not give, at a hotel near Market street, and later Lees had substitutea Creegan’s name and the Baldwin Hotel without pro- test from Seaver, who did not at that time wish it to be known where he had stayed. Wit statement that he had seen Mec- Closkey several times during the past week, and that McCloskey had come out here with Beaver's wife, the cross-exami- nation concluded. On his redirect examination Seaver ex- plained some of the answers he had made to Attorney Dunne. His visit (0 the prize- fight had been accidental; he had gone out to supper with an officer, and as they returned another officer at the Pavilion invited them in. A the fight, as at all times, be was accompanied by officer, The permission that he had been given to stay in the detectives’ cffice instead of being imprisoned in a cell was given be- cause he had been sick with malaria and there was a grate fire in the detectives’ oW G. Lytle, the office-b loyed ey G. Lytle, the office-boy employ: by Dean to ditve his buggy, rotounted the incidents of the morning of December 18 in substantially the same manner as told by Seaver. After parting with Dean Lytle got em- ployment with the Pinherton Detective Agency through Captain Lees and is now gmplgled by the captain. He had identi- tied McCloskey at St. Paul, having seen P,hotoglohx and newspaper pictures of bim. The witness denied that there was &ny great resemblance in these pictures to 8 man who came into Dean’s office on the morning of December 18. Although he Was not certain at the McCloskey trial that the man might not have been Me- Closkey, Lytle was quite positive yester- dai\; that it was not. etective John F. Sevmour, one of the officers who had broughi Creegan and Becker back to California from St. Paul, testified that Becker had told him that he had never been in this Ciry, but had re- Tused to discuss the case further. At the conclusion of Detective Sey- mour’s testimony the trial was continued until next Monday morning at 10 o’clock. SAMUIL VALLEAU'3 WILL, Property Left by the Ex-' upervisor Is Incumbered by Mortgage.

Established in Chicago—Excursions From the East. A meeting of the San Francisco branch of the State Development Committee was held yesterday. There were present: W. M. Bunker, David Rich, Frank A. Vail, I. J. Truman, Wendell Easton, Hugh Craig, W. P. Buckingham. Evan J. Coleman, Herman Bendel, A. B. Maguire ana D. M. Carman. Mr. Bunker gave an ontline of the work done by the State committee since the elose of the Atlanta exposition and now under way. He called for nom- inations for chairman and Herman Bendel was elected by acclamation. It was decided to have published an edition of 300,000 of the topographical State maps containing a birdseye view of San Francisco as it1s and as it looked in 1849, and an article on its commercial importance and other advantages, illus- trated with half-tone cuts of prominent buildings, points of interest, etc. T'o raise funds for that purpose it was decided to make a systematic canvass of the Uity. Mr. Rich offered the following resolu- tion, which was adopted: Resolved, That the foillowing circuiar letter to the pu of San Francisco be prepared and signed by all the members of the committee and that coples of the same be furnished the San Francisco daily paper: To the San Franciseo Public: The undersigned, Tepresenting the interests of San Francisco on the California State Development Committee, have taken up the work believiug that by united and sysiematic action much can be accomplished in the way of developing the resources of the State, finding new markets for its products, stimulating its manufacturing industries and increasing its trade. By this means we hope (o cause & revival of business in our own City, and as the first means to that end we are endeavoring tehave published and distributed in the East 300,000 topozraphical and climatic maps of the State, containing a birds- eye view of the City, with an filustrated article on the commercial and natural advantages of San Francisco. These maps are belng published at an exceed- fngly low cost, and we appeal to the pubiic to aid in this patriotic work by subscribing for them a: & cents each. the committes guaranteeing to see them judiciousiy and systematicaily distributed. W. M. Bunker, David Rich, Frank A. Vail, Hugh Craig, Wendell Easton, W. C. Mysell, Evan J. Coleman, Homer A. Cralg, 0. D. Baldwin, J. P, Currler, Herman Bendel, Hugo D. Kell, W. P, Buckingham, A. B. Maguire, L. J. Truman, Alfred Bouvier, D. M. Carman. On motion the chairman was instructed to appoint three members, to constitute the executive committee, with full power to act. The committee discussed at some length the establishing of permanent headquar- ters at Chicago, where a display of Califor- nia products coula be exhibited, literaturs distributed and a continual series of stere- opticon views given. Mr. Bunker said that although there isa fine exhibit in this City, it did not reach the class of pecple whom the committee is desirous of interesting, those who have never been out here, and to reach those an exhibit must be made in the East. Wendell Easton agreed that the best work of the committee would be that done east of the Rocky Mountains. Mr. Easton, with other members of the committee, favored running excursions of tourists and home-seekers from Chicago to this State under the _auspices of the committee, and thought it made little dif- ference in what part of the State they landed, San Francisco wouid be sure to be benefited by the increased immigration as well as from the tourist travel. It was expressed as the sense of the meeting that a series of excursions be inaugurated as soon as headquarters in Chicago could be opened.

The Youths’ Directory Has Outgrown Its Present Quarters. TOO MANY INMATES. A Big Home and Technical School to Be Built in the Suburbs. PLANNING A GRAND FESTIVAL, Money Will Be Raised by a Monster Fair in the Mechanics’ Pavilion. For some time past the building of the Youths’ Directory at 2030 Howard street has not been large enough to accommodate the City’s supply of homeless, desolate verge of vagrancy, homeless in many cases and without friends, or wifh friends that they would be better without. The directory at once becomes a home to them; its doors are never locked; indeed, from the playground there is a gate that leads to the street, but boys who have run away from half a dozen other institutions stay nere, and if they are sent on errands to other parts of the City they come back again as to a home. The reason the boys give for this is that they like being there and do not want to run away. The fact is that they are ruled by love, tempered, it is true, with firm- ness, but there is no fear. Just now 1t is vacation and the boys are having a splen- did time. The studious boys are making arunon the library and curl themselyes up in sunny nooks with the sort of books that children love to read. With all this family of seventy-three boys, there are only three paid persons to work in the home. The boys lay the tables, sweep the airy dormitories and make the cozy while beds. When asked whether it was not more trouble to teach the boys how to do the work than to do it one self, Father Crowley replied, laugh- ingly, *Well, perhaps it is, but think how good it is for the boys to learn to be useful.” b The Youths’ Directory is in a sense seli- supporting. Its chief income is derived from the sale of a paper, St. Joseph's Union, which Father Crowley euits. Every three years, however, a grand festi- val is held, which is always attended by thousands of people anxious to contribute a mite by their presence toward the sup- port of so deserving an institution. 2 This year an especial festival is being planned, which will take place in the Me- chanics’ Pavilion in October. An effort will be made to appeal to the public, irre- spective of religious convicticns. “I should like to make the taxpayers see that it is to_their interest to supuort the directory,” said Faiher Crowley. “The State supports no institution for homeless children. If the waifs are not taken off the streets they will assuredly Yourss Direcro “Senfiandseo @ The Youths’ Directory Building, Which Has Become Too Small for the Waifs of This City. boys who need sheiter within its walls. ! On this account active preparations are now in progress for a grand festival to be held in the Mechanics' Pavilion in No- vember, the proceeds of which will be de- voted to purchasing a lot in the outskirts of the City. Itisintended to erect a large home on this lot, with technical schools where the little waifs and strayscan be taught to become useful members of so- ciety. The Youths’ Directory, although it takes in destitute children and orphans, has never, during the ten years of its exist- ence, received a cent either of State or county aid. Need is the great passport to admission within its walls. Religion and nationality do not enter into the question. | Among the seventy three boys there at present are two little swarthy skinned Syrians, whose parents found themselves destitute here after the Midwinter Fair, and as for religion, about balf the chil dren there are registered as Protestants. “It would pe an inhuman and an un- Christian thing to make any distinctions of religion in admitting these destitute boys,” said Rev. Dennis Crowley, the president, when questioned yesterday on the subject. ‘‘The Youths’ Directory is for cases of immediate need—boys who are gicked Gp homeless in the streets, chil- Ten whose parents die suddenly and leave drift into vice and probably to crime, then they will be sent to the penitentiary and the taxpayers will have to support them. It is better, far better, to take them off the streets now and bring them up to be use- ful, seif-supporting members of society.” The festival held three vears ago was a great success, but it is expected that the coming one will far surpass it. There are to be seventeen large booths, each pre- sided over by twelve to fifteen prominent ladies. The boys will be in evidence as squires to run the ladies’ errands, and they are already rehearsing choruses which they will sing at the concerts whicn are being planned in connection with the festival. A most enthusiastic meeting of the la- dies and gentlemen interested in the forth- coming festival was held last evening in the assembly hall of the Youths' Direct- ory, Howard street. James R. Kelly, chairman, presided, and | Miss Nora M. Sullivan was the secretary of the meeting, Among those present were: Mrs. Cassasa. Mrs. J. Spottiswood, Mrs. J. Regan, Mrs. Je- rome Deasy, Mrs. L. Butters, Mrs. M. F. Dun- leavy, Mrs. John Ryall, Mrs. M. E. Deasy, Mrs. Sarah Tierney, Miss Anna Donovan, Miss Julia Donovau, Mrs. Jeremiah Kelleher, Miss N. N. Sullivan, Mrs. T. R.

Those who are old enough to work, and who have had a fair education, go out to stores and fac- tories. The younger ones attend the Mis- sion Grammar School till we can have them adopted.” Five hundrea destitute boys pass every yur.:hrm:&h the Youths’ Directory. They come in helpless, sent by the Society for the Suppression of Vice, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and other organizations. They go out to peo- ple who will care for them, or to positions where they will be given & startin the ! world, and where they know that they can always go back 10 the directory for assistance, advice and sympathy. Itis on account of the transitory sojourn of the children that the State gives noaid. They do not remain iong enough for a claim to be put in for their support.
