Narrative, | Judge Ellsworth Referred to the Faot That He Was Not Then the Governor. OARLAND OFFIC Francisco Cavr, 908 Broadway, Aug. 27. } Benjamin F. Hudelson took the stand in his own behalf to-day, and in a straight- | forward manner to'd of his reckless life of ten years ago. He attempted to evade | no questions, but freely confessed that he | was formerly piven to dissipating and | drinking. He told of his dealings with Cora Webster or Johnston, and said that no mention of marriage was ever made between them. The woman had never suzgested marriage until she broucht the suit for maintenance, which is the basis of the present trial. “On one occasion,” said Hudelson, “'‘Governor Budd was in Modesto and met Cora Webster.” At the mention of the Governor’s name, Judge Ellsworth, the attorneys and the lobby became very ex- pectant, “Tne woman, hearing that he was en- gaged in irying a case in Modesto, said she would like to consult with him about eetting a divorce from Johnston. I touk Mr. Budd to her housa.” **‘And was the bottle that you refer to so much passed around on that occasion ?” usked Attorney Terry. *‘It was,” replied the witness, ‘“and the Governor took a few drinks from it.”” “What's all this?" asked the court, “Attorney Budd was not Governor then.”’ “*That is so, yonr Honor,” said Attorney Frick, *‘and since that time Mr. Budd, like the witness here, has doubtiess re- formed.” The witness then proceeded to tell of his conversion. and of entering the Bap- tist church as a minister. He said he was pastor at Golden Gate Church till he re- signed in 1895. | Hudelison's father also testified that Cora Webster, thou h at his house on two occasions, was never introduced as his son’s wife and never passed as such. Other witnesses gave similar testimony and the case was continued. £ ~———— i Upholds the Co-Ed BERKELEY, CaL., Aug. 27.—Professor | Thomas R. Bscon of the department of | history at t e State University has es- | pouseu the cause of the co-eds and up- | holds their retention as members of the University Athletic Assaciation, a clanse in the proposed new constitution of the association to the contrary notwithstand- ing. In an open letier in the Occident ot to-day he has, in part, the following to say in their aefense: This restrict’on is not due to any hostility to female suffrage or ‘‘woman’s rights” on the part of the committee. 1t had uothing to do with such matters at all. As (he main object oi the association is the promotion o fcotball, baseba | and track athletics, in none of which sports have ihe young women taken any con- picuous part, so far ss the Committee nas no- ed, it scemed to the committee ihat it would hardly be polite to invite them to join an organizaition from which they would re- cefve no direct benefit. It 1s true that some of them play basket.ball and tennis, but the commiitee supjosed that they wouid prefer to pursue their sports un- der an organizaiion of their own, in which ihey wouid not be liable to be trampled under foot by the more numerous and brutal sex. It turiner seemed to the committes that in ad- mitting the young women toey wonld be add- ing largely to (he class, 100 numerous among the young men, who care nothing for any ex- ercise more athletic than cesting a baliot. However, if any one objects to the restriction, let it go by ail means, provided the doliar is retained. We are told by those who ought to know student sentiment and temper in such mat- ters far betier than 1 can, that very few stu- dents (one expert says “not seventy-five') will !rnln the associaiion if their dues are §1 a year. his is to me absolutely astounding. I ‘hesi- tate to believe it, even when it is stated on such competent authority. However, if it be be true, 1 wish that these young men would not publish the shame of tneir university in print. If it be true theoutlook for athletics is very black indeed. The Cohens’ Complaint. ALAMEDA, CAn.

An Ultra-Exclusive Club Ap- pears and Blackballs Are Dread=d. Anxiety to Avoid Little Scandals May Possibly Lead to Some Big Ones. OARcAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcisco CALL.) 908 Broadway, Aug. ¢7. § An informal gathering of social leaders was held last evening to consider the deli- cate matter of how Oakland society shall be regaled this winter in the matter of dancing. When dancing is mentioned in the Lakeside district, it is always with a feeling of awe and dread, for blackballs arealways used by the secret committees who send out the invitations and for sev- eral seasons there have been numerous little scandals. This year an attempt is being made to diminish the possibilities for unpleasantness, but unless great care be exercised there will be more friction and more clubs than usual. Some ambitious young gentlemen have already almost perfected the srrange- ments for & new c!ub, which shall succeed both the Deux Temps ana the Fortnightly and which shall be the leading club of local society during the coming season. This plan will not be accepted by many of the patronesses, although it may be agreeable 10 many others. Mrs. Requa was the founder of the Deux Temps, and it is thought she will be anxious to see it perpetuated. This club was considerably disturbed iast season by the charge that it was not sufficiently exclusive, and that a lot of Berkeley students were invited who appeared in other than patent leather shoes and soiled the delicate flounces of the dresses of the youngladies with whom they danced. Then another objection was made that the dances continuea till nearly midnight of Saturday, and it was the Sab- bath before tre young peopls arrived at home. These objections were made by Mrs. Requa, and bade fair to d srupt the club, but 1t was hel | together tul the close of last season, and some of its most ardent supporters were those who were anxious to show that it was not under any one lady’s control. When the Deux Temps gave its last dance it was reported that it might not be rev.ved this winter. Now an attempt is being made o prevent a revival of the Fortnightly and to launch a new organiza- tion that shall be so exclusive that only gild-edged society shall be able to obtain an entree. It had no sooner been launched than ap intimation was given out that Mrs. J. E. McElrath was about to form a succes-or to the Deux Temps and the three young gentlemen who are anxious to te the Ned Greenways of Oakland at once set aboul to strengthen their fences. They held a consultation with Mrs. McElrath and that laay heartily *approved of the plan of a new club and readily azreed to ve one of the patrons. Other probable patrons are Mrs. Lohse, Mrs, G. W. Baker, Mrs. Prentiss Selby, Mrs. Gorrill, Mrs. H. K. Belden, Mrs. Beck, Mrs. W. E. Snaron, Mre. G. A. Kuizht. Mrs. Requa may not be asked to countenance the new club. It is hoped to hold tae first ball in about two weeks and already there is some talk as to who sball lead the german. THREAT:N:D OGLESBY. The Colored Lawyer Locks Horns With Attorney Moore. OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 27.—Attorney Oglesby, the colored lawyer, who was ad- mitted to the bar.yesterday, had his first case in the Police Court this morning, and during the examination of the first wit- ness had his head threatened by Prose- cating Attorney Moore. The case was that of Paul Young for peity larceny. Mrs. Eva Bar!ow, the prosecnting witness, iestified that Paul was generally in bed at 11 o’clock. “How do vou know when he retired ; were you in his room ?"’ asked Oglesby. “Look here, Oglesby,’”” said Attorney Moore, jumping to his feet, ‘‘remember that you are questioning a lady. If you insult her you'll get your head broken.” “You're not big enough to break it,” was the ready answer. You'll see if you ask any more ques- tions of that nature. Your question was an insolent, despicable one in keeping with your manner of conducting a case, and I repeat it that if you do not desist your head will be broken.’” Company G. ALAMEDA, Car, Aug. 27.—Company G is constantly adding to its member- ship and another new member was sworn in last night. Nothing has yet been heard of any official order for an election for the vacant lieutenancies, though one is ex- pected soon. The company was addressed last evening by M:jor Wethern, who was present in an unofficial capacity. It was decided to donate the use of tne hall to the Grand Army of the Republic for use at their benefit performance to be given on the evening of September 15, for the purpose of procuring funds 1o replace property lostat tue opera-house fire, and a squad of eight men will be selected to give an exhibition driil on that occasion. An Alleged R bbery. ALAMEDA, Cat, Aung. 27.—William Tully, who lives at 2224 Pacific avenue, has complained to the po.ice that his resi- dence was rntered by thieves who pried open a window and ransacked the house. They troke open a box and stole jewelry which, he says, was worth $90 or $100. They left evervihing upside down, hav- ing searched everywhere for booty. The police say that they do not put much credence in the story, for ome reason or other. Property aved From Fire, ALAMEDA, Car., Aug. 27.—J. L. Bal- lentine and Officer Kamp were riding near San Leandro yesterday when they chanced 10 see flames vreaking our of a house near the road. They ran to it and found no one at home.

City Trustees and Pacific Improvement Company Can Keach No Agreement. ALAMEDA, Car., Aur. The Board of City Trustees had another conference wonn Monday over the marsh-tand matter. It was parucipated in by C. E. Hayes, representing the Pacific Improvement Compuny, and by Judge Wayv nire, repre- senting sume of the other ownersof the reclaimed 1snd. After some discussion Mr. Hayes said that the city wanted more | of the land than it was eniitle! 10, but of- fered to consent to make Webster street 150 feet wide if all the other property- owners would do likewise. Then he of- fered to let the city have land on ihe water front almost anywhere in lieu of the piece between the briiges, and also to deed the city land to make Webster street 100 feet wide 1f the c:ty would improve the street at its own expense. Or he would give double the acreace away from the water front. After a lon: discussion a motion was made and carried that the city ask for a tract 900 feet long and 26) feet wide from Wood to Prospect stree:, and a 100- foot roadway for Webster street. Mr. Hayes protested against this, as he said it would throw the case into the courts. His company would never consent to this and a se.tlenent would be deiayed for a long time. He was assured that the city could stand tne delay without suffering. Osborne in Berkeley.

THE PROSPERITY WAVE It Has Made Itself Apparent in Many Local In- dustries. Interesting Reports of Trades Union- ists at San Francisco Labor Oouncil Meeting. The regular meeting of the San Fran- cisco Labor Councii was held in Union Hall last night, with J. Hill in the chair and a good representation from the various trades unions present. The reports from the unions showed business to be about the same. With the musicians business is very good and first- class men are hard to get. The glass- blowers are about to start on a two months’ vacation. This is not owing to any depression of business, however, but is customory at this time of the vear. At their meeting to-night an assessment of $1 per member wiil be made, the pro- ceeds to be devoted to the aid of the strik- ing miners. Along the water front deep-aea shippinyg is fairly brisk, but the coast trad. dul’. In the printing trade work is a little more plentiful this week than it has been in the past, but prospects are very poor. Cigar-makers are in demand in various parts of the State, and the advertising of the biue label is being vigorously prose- cuted. The Labor day committee this vear has decided to do but one thing and do that well. Accordingly it has arranged an elaborate programme for a mass-meeting in Metropolitan Temple. Good speakers have been engared and some prominent musicians sand elocutionists have volun- teered their services. LUCKILY THUMBLESS. Willlam Adams’ - issi: g Member Aided Him in Evading Justice. William Adams, who sometimes labors as a house-painter, has the good luck to be minus one thumb. 1f Adams confined his attention exclusively to house-painting the missing member might not be ranked as a fort unate circumstance, but the police believe Adams to be given to ways that are dark, and over two years ago Henry Bingham, stevedore at the Mail dock, swore to a complaint charging Adams with feloniousiy entering a schooner and extracting valuable articles. Adams was arrested by Patrolman Me- guire, and the advantages of a mutilate. hand became apparent. Maguire handcuffedl Adams to another prisoner without noticing he was shy a chumb. The result was that when a favorable opportunity presented itself Adams had no difficulty in slipping his hand through the iron and scaping. The alleged burglar kept in hiding until the offense was almost firzotten. On the nieht of August 10 five men were ¢ detected stealing a boatlozd of green Lides from the wuarf of the Oregon Rail- road and Navigation Company, an officer gave chase, and Mike Brady was slightly weunded and cantured. The others es- caped, but Captain Anderson was certain he recognizeu Adams ss one of the men. A grand larceny warrant was accordingly { issued, and Adams, hearing he was wanted, ave himseif up yesterday to Delertives yan and 0'Deaand Patroiman Hermenez, who were working on the case. He ae- nies absolutely being ilentified in the hide stealing, but admits slipping the handcuffs. The officers claim he has ef- fectually worked the same trick two or three times. - To Cancel a Deed. ‘W. W.
