THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1896. MRS, DINELS | SEEKS A DNORCE Sequel to an Episode That | .Once Excited North QOakland. But for Another Woman the Young Wife Says She Might Yet Be Happy. | S'met Months Ago H r Husband Left | Her With 80 Cents, Osten- | sibly for Europ:. “OAKLAND OrricE S8AN Francisco Carr, 908 Broadway, Dec. 3. } of Thirty-third street has applied fora di e from her husband, | and in the allegations of her complaint | the name of a well-known Oakland lady is prominently mentioned. * Beveral months ago the Daniels rented a Mirnished house and lived in good style in ‘North Oakland. Nothing much was known about them till one day Mrs. Dan- jels talled on a neighbor and told her a .pififul story. Bhe said that her husband eft her to go on a business trip to rpool @nd was to have communicated 1 her at varions points along the route. had made some inquiry and found :he had not taken passa:.e on board e steamer from New York, as he had said he intended to do. She further found that ho trace of him could be hed as hay- . ing "iraveled on the overland train on ‘which he said he had taken a berth. Under these circumstances Mrs, Daniels ed in her neighbors and toid them xt she had no doubt that she had been desetted, as her husband, when he left, had given her just €0 cents and promised send a remittance as soon as possible. $pid he was a mining man, though id not know any of his associates in | ess. * After afew weeks passed away rént.and other bills became due and Mrs. Laniels leit the house almost as suddenly as lier husband had done. Search was made for them by the credi- ors, and some time later they were dis- covered in Los Angeles, the husband hav- ing apparently succeeded in allaying his ‘wile's suspicions regarding any inten- | -tiohal'desertion. Later still information | was received that Mr. and Mrs. Daniels iving in Los Angeles. These smv.e—| s were discredited by the lady’s in- | ate friends, because her suspicion of 2 deserted had so acted upon her d while living in this City that it was that her reason was permanently impaired. Tuere was also an idea pre- valent that her husband’s sudden dis- a rance was not altogether without he wledge, and this was strengthened when it was known they were again liv- ing-together. These suspicions, however, ac ng to the lady’s complaint for divorce, were entirely unfounded, and 1he little woman tells a tale of unpleas- antness and junfaithfulness that, if trus, certainly entitle her to a divorce. She | attributes much of her trouble to her hus- | band’s attention to the wife of a well- known' business man, and says that but | dor tuis a permanent reconciliation could have been effected.

Jones of Railroad avenue returned last evening fror Panama, Central America, where he has been in charge of some work on the great canal now in course of construction by the Panama Railroad. “The work upon the Panama canal is progressing slowly,” said Mr. Jones to- day. *“It employs about 2000 men, with a pay-roll of $65,000, Pan-American silver, monthly.

Hoping that I have not given you too much trouble, FREDERICK HERDEL. The following open letter was also on the deceased : 8AN FRANCISCo, December, 1896, My Dear Friends: When I am found and have anything of valueon mehmeh &s money or pocket-book, be good enough to send it to my daughter at 3 Jackson street, San Francisco.

About $4 was in his purse, and in the same rubber that held the far«well letters to his friends and the Coroner was a tintype photograph of nimself and his wife, taken at a gallery at Sutro Heights. All his connections are in San Francisco, and no reason can be ad- vanced why he should have come to this Oity to end his life.

George L. Nusbaumer, the County Sur- veyor, passed close to the stranger just as the fatal shot was fired. On turning round he saw the man falling on the steps and rushed to his assistance. But there was no need of help, for the bullet passed clear through the man’s head and struck the pav:ment. According to letters found in Herdel's ockets he iu had three wives. He evi- ently intended to end his life, for he wrote a letter in German to the Coroner. A few years ago Herdel appeared in Mis- sion San Jose and purchased the Mil- waukee Hotel and brewery. When he commenced business there it was thought he was asingle man, but a few months after his arrival his wife joined him. It was noticed that they were not happy to- gether and things did not improve when a child was born a year later. About three years ago Mrs, Herdel suddenly disap- peared. On account of the prevailing unpleas- antness it was thought that Herdel might know something of her whereabouts, and when, after a long search, her .body was recovered from a reservoir on the outskir:s of the town her husband was Teceived with grave suspicion. Nothing conclu- sive could be learned, and some time later he married a woman named Rachel M. Stone. At the big fire in Mission San Jose two years ago the hotel burned down, but the brewery was saved. Herdel retamed his ownership of it, but it has not been run- ning, and brought in no income. According to a rambling statement written in German, Herdel was sned for a divorce by his last wife, and in her com- plaint he says she hinted that he had heiped to bring about the death of his two former wives. The suicide left the following ietter to the Coroner: OAKLAND, Dec. 3, 1896. To the Coroner, Oakland, Alameda County, Cal. —DEAR FRIEND: I write the following for your information. My name is Frederick Herdel. Have lost everything in Mission San Jose—the most of it through fire—pusiness, real estate, wife and good name, so I will also give my life to Alameda County.

John Devlin, a laundryman, who lives at 1414 Washington street, met with a probably fatal accident Wednesday even- ing in the Osborne House, 806 Kearny street. Devlin had been drinking heavily and that afternoon engaged & room in the Osborne House. A few hours later peo- ple in the house were startled by five pis- tol shots that proceeded from the direc- tion of Devlin’s room. The door of his room was opened and he was found lying on the floor covered with blood. He said he had been fooling with his revolver when it accidentally ex- ploded and the bullet entered his left breast. Being afraid he would bleed to death before assistance arrived, to attract attention he fired four shots at the ceiing, The patrol wagon was summoned and Deylin was taken to the Receiving Hospi- tal. Dr. Weil found that the bullet had entered the left breast, between the fifth and sixth ribs, grazed the apex of the beart and lodged in the spinai column, paralyzing the lower limbs. Dr. Weil ex- pressed the opinion that Deviin could not live. He was alive last night, but in a low condition. e ——— Struck a ¢ ustoms Officer.

The Japanese, after talking with several of his countrymen, returned to the insoector and struck him, because, as he said, Chaloner was rough while making his ins tion. The officer evidently resented the treat- ment. Atany rate, other Japanese tuok part in the fight and the inepector got the worst of it.

He Must B> an Agriculturist and a Practical Busi- ness Man. Considerable Dissatisfaction With Dr. Bonte Tcward the Close of His Cireer. BERKELEY, CaL., Dec. 3.—The pro fessors at the State University are much concerned at the present time asto who will be chosen secretary of the Board of Regents to succeed Dr.J. H.C. Bonte, who died last week. The office is a most important one and involves an endless amount of responsi- bility. According to the statute, which creates the position, the holder must be a man conversant with the law, an agricul- turist and a man of business avility. It goes withont saying also that it must bea man well known in the community and popular among the Regents and members He kecps the records of the Regents, is their confidential adviser, their land agent, their paymaster, the guardian of the university reservation and, in fact, performs the same duties in relation to the material interests of the university as' the president does with re- gard to its executive functions. it is particularly necessary that he should stand well with the faculty be- cauve of the close relationship which ex- ists between tbe office of a professor and the office of secretary as regards the aud- iting of accounts, the signing and passage of requisitions and the payment of sal- aries. To find 2a man who 1s eminently possessed of all these qualifications seems to be somewhat of a difficult matter. There seems to_be no doubt that the Regents will go about the choice of a new ‘“‘keeper of the privy seal” in a very cau- tious and deliberate manner because of the dissatisfaction which arose among some of the facuity toward Dr. Bonte near the close of his career. The complaint was entered that he grew to be overbear- ing and unreasonable to a marked degree, and that he took advantage of his position to work out his personal ends. So strong was the feeling growing against Dr. Bonte that there was serious talk among the Regents of soon retiring him on half Yly. Though he had his strong and staid champions on the board he had his enemies. That he guarded the interests of the university with zealous care and was scrutinizing even to a fauit was recognized by the Regents, bnt it is said that he had outlived the period of bis usefulness and was growing to re- gard those about him with too little con- sideration. For the last two years of his lite he was gradually losing his authority, and it was only about two weeks belore his ceath that the supervision of the work on the grounds was taken from him_and placed in the hands of Captain Emil Kellner. This seemed to chafe the secre- tary and immediately he sent forth the proclamation that he would no longer be responsible for the $5 monthly contingent funds previously allowed the head pro- fessors for incidental expenses of their de- pariments. He ordered that requisitions snoulgbe made out for everything that was used by the professors. This seemingly unnecessary change worked a great bardship to some of the faculty and they were free to express their views. Instead of being allowed to pur- chase 5 cents worth of ice for their labora- tory, a piece of rope, half a dozan pencils or similar small articles and to charge up the bill at the end of the month they were required to make out a requisition for each article and have it go.through the same course of ‘‘red-tape” as if it were an order for $500 worth of books. Among those who lave been promi- nently mentioned for the place are Pro- fessor E. J. Wickson of the department of agriculture at the university; Dr. W, C. Bartlett, formerly an editorial writer on the San Francisco Bulietin; and William A. McKeown, the present assistant secre- tary, The choice will probably be made at the monthly meeting of the board next Tuesday. That there will be a hot fight for the place among the candidates, there seems to be no doubt, because of the fact that there s much honor in the position, comparatively little work, and the neat salary of $3300 per year. That Blue and Gold. BERKELEY, Car., Dec. 3—THe prob- lem as to whether the junior class at the State University would publish a Blue and Gold next year,or rather whether Leslie C. Mott was to retain the manager- ship of the publication, was to have been decided to-day, but owing to the request of some of the members of the class the matter was postponed until next Monday. A week or so ago Manager Mott forwarded printed circulars to each member of the class asking whether they would support the publication, and to make known their intention to back it up by sending a re- turn slip, or on the other hand their pur- pose to letit go by the board by remain- ing silent. Up to to-day only 100 re- soonses from.a class of 300 have been re- ceived, Manager Mott was to have thrown u the job to-night unless he got at least 1, favorable responses, but he was prevailed upon to hold over uutil Monday. Each member was asked to subscribe $350 toward defraying the expense of publica- tion.. ““Unless the majority of the class will pay their assessment and thus make it known that they want the book,” said Mott to-night, ““I don’t see any use in pub- lishing it. The minority of the class does not care-to assume the responsibility of bringing out the annual for the majorify toread and criticize. Idon't want to see the class of '98 in sny such fix as the pres. ent senior class bas found itself with re- gard to the Blue and Gold,) “They owe somewhere i the neighbor- hood of $1000, and ali becuuse the majority of the ciass bave not come up with “their assessment. At the lowest figure it will cost us $2400 to issue the book, and [ do not propose to ussume the responsibility of bringing it out unless I am supported by the majority of the crass. With returns from 150 or a guarantee of $500 [ am willing to go ahead. Otherwise, I shall resign.” Students Debated. BERKELEY, Car., Dec. 3.—The repre- sentatives from the Hastings Law College defeated the team from tbe academic de- partment of the ‘State University last nignt in a debate at Stiles Hall. The speakers from the law department were artley Shaw, Isidore Golden and Ed- ward F. Treadwell, while those from the acaiemic depariment were H. O. Over- street, Ben F. Wright and A. L. Weil.

BERKELEY, CAL., Dec. 3.—The Beacon Fire Company of West Berkeley held an indignation meeting last night, asa re- sult of their recent trouble with the Town Trustees, and for a while it looked ver, much as though the club would disband. The trouble arose, as told in Tuesday's CALL, over the refusal of the Town Board to honor a oill of $4 for supplies which had been countersigned by Foreman Bork- heim. The board refused to honor the bill at its last meeting, and the next morning Borkheim resigned. After considering the question of dis- banding last night the company drew up a list of equi age needed by them and decided to request the Trustees to pur- chase the same. Members of the com- pany stated this morning that if the board refused to honor the proposed bill for sup- plies they woald disband and take with them their apparatus, which is valued at about $300. First Assistant Frank Teagur was elected to succeed cx-Foreman Bosk eim and Ben Hamilton was chosen to fill the va- cant secretaryship. DROWNED WHILE PLAYING Daniel Donovan, a Boy of 8 Years, Loses His Life in a Pool of Rain Water. Two little boys, Daniel Donovan, aged 8, and Archie Hood, about the same age, stole away from their homes Wetnesday evening to sail on a raft in a pool of water at Seventeenth and Temple streets. They salled about on the water for a few min- utes, when the raft upset and Daniel was drowned. But for the heroism of a playmate little older than the venturesome lads both would in all probability nave met a like fate. However, Thomas Norton, a boy of 12 years, saw the accident from the bank and bravely plunged in to rescue his play- mates. The firs¢ lad he caught was Archie, whom he saved after a brave struggle. But he was tired and unable to render as- sistance to the other boy, whe had then gone to the bottom.
