But the information did not seem to frighten Mr. Seymour. He took it very calmly and did not seem to be half as much alarmed as he was surprised a the fact that his contemplated action to secure legal separation from his wife had been made public. This was what he could not understand. “Why, vou see,” said Mr. Seymour, explaining, “about three my wife and myself had a little misun derstanding. she had taken and she was not entire ly satisfied with me, so I said to he that I guessed we had better separ- ate. She did not like the idea, but I told her I thought it was the thing to do. I thought we would just get a divorce in a quiet way. “So I went East for a two months’ trip and am now on my way back. Pa- pers in the suit have been all prepared by my attorney, Reuben H. Lloyd. They will be filed as soon as I return to San Francisco, unless something now unforescen happens. in all probabllity on Tuesday. I think my wife and I can agree on terms of separation satisfactorily and there will be no scandal. 0, she will not shoot me. That's so. our has been at the Hollen- beck Hotel for a few days and has made no endeavor to remain under cover. Mrs. S. H. Seymour was seen in her apartments at the Baldwin last even- ing, and when Informed that her hu band had returned from the East and was now in Los Angeles very replied that she supposed her husband had money and could go anywhere he pleased and it was nobody’s business. The news of his intention to file suit for divorce against her only brought forth ancther stinging reply. She re- fused to discues her side of the case, and ended the interview by saying she wished to retire. Nothing could per- suade her to defend herself in the mat- | ter, “because her affairs were her own and the world at large had no right to | pry into them.” BROKE THE MIRROR. James Riley, a Blacksmith, Almost Wrecks a Saloon on Third Street.

One of the gl struck mirror, breaking it in fragme Voney, at this juncture, seized the in- furiated stranger and attempted to eject him. The noise of the struggle attracted the attention of Policemen Rush and Tyrrell, who started to place both men under arrest. Riley vigorously resisted arrest, and it required the combined ef- forts of the two policemen to place him in the patrol wagon. At the City Prison he was charged with | disturbing the peace, battery and mali- cious mischief. Woney was booked on a charge of disturbing the peace, as Riley clalmed that he incited the trouble. —_——— Monro School Graduates. The pupils of Monro School, on Mission road near the Five Mile House, held thelr graduating exercises last Friday afternoon. Miss Annle Hagarty, the principal, col- lected her little flock from the cowsheds, designated by courtesy as outside prim- ary classes, into the school building prop- er. Here the 300 little tots received their cards of promotion with as much satis faction as if they had been their diplomas from the State university. The residents Mission road near Five Mile House have time and again peti- tioned the Board of Education for the erection of a large and sultable building where the children can have that which is their right, a_public education. But 80 far no heed has been paid to the prayer. ———— Sentence Postponed. W. H.

A string of garbage wagons extend- Ing for the distance of a mile gave the impression that yesterday was a very day with the Reduction Works on Eighth street, but the real reason for the blockade was trouble between ‘he Scavengers’ Union and the proprie- tors of the Crematory. The former | claimed that they were being charged too much for the privilege of dumping their loads at the works, and the latter asserted that the garbage gatherers were bringing In loads of garbage { which had been stamped down until the wagon contained double the amount | called for by its surve: The differ- dence for some time, reached a climax | yesterday, and while each of the par- | tes to the controversy was getting ev- idence for future litigation the string of wagons was held in a blockade, | spreading their disagreeable odors throughout the Mission marshes. The Scavengers’ Union has contended for a long while that the Reduction Works have been holding the garbage | men up and yesterday a concerted ac- | tion was taken tc see if the evil could be remedied. It is the claim of the union that there is a scale on each | wagon, placed there by the county sur- veyor, which indicates the number of cubic yards the wagon contains. The Reduction Works people have been dis- regarding this scale and have charged as high as double the amount the wagon was supposed to contain. The union remonstrated with the crema- tory people about the injustice of the thing, but receiving no satisfaction re- solved to bring matters to a head. Yesterday morning, early, representa- tives of the union were on hand and as each wagon came up to the crema- tory its number and the amount of gar- bage indicated by the scale was taken. When the wagon had been dumped the driver reported to the union members the price he had been charged by the Reduction Works people. A record of each wagon was kept throughout the day and the claim of the scavengers is that, on an average, each wagon was charged for two-thirds more garbage than the scale indicated it to contain. L. R. Ellert, the president of the com- pany, learned of the plan and in order to have some figures of his own began to measure the contents of each wagon as it came in. This took time and by noon the wagons extended for a dis- tance of six blocks and the line kept increasing in length until it was a mile long. Mr. Ellert in his statement agrees to a certain extent with the gar- bage men. He admits that he vill not take the measurements as indicated by the scales on the wagons, as he claims they are incorrect and In no sense of the word official. His figures tzken yesterday agree with those of the un- ion men In that the ratlo of increase over the scale indication is about two- thirds. “We have given them the best of it right through,” said Mr. Ellert, “but they are alvays dissatisjed and are constantly disgruntled about something. The charge is 20 cents a cubic yard for dumping the garbage and is a great deal cheaper than they could do it be- fore we built the. works. We don’t measure the wagons as a general rule, but as we have had eight months’ ex- perience in estimating the amount a wagon contains we are very nearly ac- curate in our judgment. When we found that the union was taking figures vesterday we also began to keep a record. The man at the gate would es- timate the amount in each wagon and then when it was dumped it would be ence of opinion, which has been in evi- | I measured in a box we have for the pur- | pose. In each instance we found that our estimate was under, rather than over, the actual amount in the wagon. One scheme worked by the scavengers is to pack the garbage into the wagon by stamping the contents for some time and thus they are able to get nearly twice as much in as the wagon is sup- posed to hold. This we claim is noth- ing less than an attempt to defraud us and we have been obliged to take means to protect ourselv ¢ The union, thro gh its lawyers, hopes to bring the Reduction Works to time, and If necessary will try to have the franchise taken away on the grounds that the company is not llving up to its agreemen If this cannot be done and the Reduction Works people con- tinue to charge as heretofore they that the union will take steps to charter barges with which they can take their garbage out beyond the three-mile limit and dump it into the ocean, thus doing away with the expense of the Reduction Works. FORESTERS WILL HELP. Courts and Circles Organize to Help Soldier Foresters and Their Families. The representatives of fourteen courts and a like number of circles of the Com- panions of the KForest of America met last night in the Alcazar building for the purpose of organizing the Rellef Associa- tion of the Foresters and Companions of the Forest of America, which shall have for its purpose the assisting the Foresters who have enlisted and to provide for the families of such soldiers who may durs ing the absence of the breadwinners at the front find themselves in need of as- istance. Sol Shaben was president; Mrs. A. B. ident; Mrs. E. A. Carahar, sécond vice- president; Willlam Lynch, secretary; and E. P. Figel, treasurer. Addresses 'were made by Mrs. McLuth, Jacob Label, Mrs. Carahar, William Lynch and others, and a general idea of the work to be done was advanced. It was that there should be raised a fund with which to provide articles of practi- elected temporary McLuth, vice-pres- cal use for the Forester soldiers, and help milies of such, and also heip such families to help themselves by find- ing employment for them. A committee of five was appointed to are a plan of organization for the jation_to adopt at a meeting to be held next Saturday night. —_—————— DEFENDING CRIMINALS. During the past two months several complaints have reached Captain Gillen of the Seventeenth-street station of the presence of a trio of young burglars who made their unwelcome presence felt in the Sunnyside section of the city. To catch these housebreakers Officers Stan- ly and Edner were detailed on special du- ty. In aofficers ente Barris on R one of the men named Morris Murray, for whom they were looking, and imme: diately placed him under arrest. This act did not please Barris, and he at once started in to make it warm for the officers. After being well clubbed he was finally subdued and handcuffed to Mur- ray and taken to the station and charged with battery, while Murray was booked for burgia The arrest of Murray will be a source of relief to householders on the western ridge of the hill, as he and his compan- fons, who are known to the officers, have glven the people in that section a great deal of annoyance. —_——————————— Plundering Vacant Houses. During the past week or so several com- plaints were lodged with Captain Gillen of the Seventeenth-street station, of the plundering of vacant houses in which the pipes were cut out and carried away. The watch was notified to keep a sharp look- out for the prowlers, and as a conse- uence Officer W. King caught Charles ubertine, a young man, coming out of a vacant housé on Fair avenue and Mis- sion street vesterday afternoon with a sack filled with lead pipes which he had cut out of the joinings in the house. —_———— A Practical Offer. The following liberal practical offer Is a sample of the enthusiasm with which The Call's project is being received: Fditor of The Call—Dear Sir: In regard to the proposed fair, to be ziven under the aus- pices of The Call for the benefit of the Red Cross Society, and as there is usuafly some costuming to' be done in such affairs of this kind, I beg to say it will give me great pleas- ure to loan you anything in my line of busi- ness free of charge. Yours very respectfully, : H. ANDERSON. ——————— Pickpocket Caught. Fdward Curtls, a young man, was de- tected in the act of trying to pick a wo- man’s pocket at the corner of Third and Market streets last night. He was pur- sued by the woman and several citizens and was finally capturea by Policemen Tyrréll and Tracey on Mission street. At the City Prison he was charged with an attempt at grand larceny. The woman whose pocket he tried to pick is Mrs. Mc- Carthy of 232 Minna street. —_—— Swedes Will Celebrate.

AN OFFICER'S READY SWORD A CAROUSAL ENDS WITH SERI- OUS CONSEQUENCES. Private Chapman of South Dakota Attempts to Clean Out the Mon- tana Camp and Receives a Fractured Skull Private Frank Chapman of Company | H, First South Dakota, is lying in the hospital of his regiment with a frac- | tured skull, the result of pay day and | its glorious possibilities. | Lieutenant Conrad, Company H, First Montana, remains closely at his | camp, and with anxiety awaits the | time when the surgeons shall be able | to determine whether Private Chapman will live or die. The fight in which the private was! the victim was furious, though a short | one, and for a moment it looked as | though the Montanas were to be plunged into the internecine strife that | has before threatened, and all through | the intrusion of a rank outsider. | Private Chapman had spent the bet- | ter part of yesterday afternoon doing | the line of dives and gin-mills that have sprung up on Point Lobos avenue nehr Camp Merritt. His potations corre- sponded with his donations, and he | had donated all of his two months’ pay. In fine fettle for a row, and with evi- dent prepense he precipitated himself into a crowd of visitors who had gath- ered round the entrance, and after bru- tally beatine one unoffensive non-com- batant he came upon the little bugler of | the regiment itself. Chapman had begun active operations | upon the pride of the camp and prac- | tically rendered him hors d> combat when Lieutenant Conrad, officer of the descended upon him and carried him, fighting like a madman, to the guard house. Every effort was made to sup- press him, but he persisted in his course and shot off volleys of epithets that even the camp cook would have blushed at. He finally made a frantic leap for Lieutenant Conrad, and every man do- ing time in the {ent showed a strong inclination to back him up. Fearing a combined attack from his own men and the outsider the officer knocked down the ringleader with a terrific blow of his fist and then drew his sword and belabored him over the head with the handle of it. The un- doing of Chapman quelled the incipient mutiny threatened by the Montana men and peace again reigned. The extent of the belligerent Chap- man’s injuries was not learned until he regained consciousness in the hospi- tal of his camp an hour later. He suffers from several severe lacer- ations of the scalp and a fractured skull. What trend his injuries will take can not be told, say the surgeons, until late to-day. ————— Knights of Tara Celebration. The Knights of Tara have completed all arrangements for their big celebra- tion. of the double events—the one hun- dredth anniversary of the rebellion of '98 and Wolfe Tone’s birthday, which will be held Tuesday evening In Metropolitan Temple. The chief feature of the even- ing will be a lecture by the Rev. P. C. Yorke on *““The Spirit of '98,”" and patriot- fc songs and speeches will be (flven by well-known artists.

SUMMER ASSEMBLY OF JEWISH CHAUTAUQUA An Interesting Programme Arranged | for the becond Meeting at At- lantic City. PHILADELPHIA, June 18.—The pros- pectus of the Second Summer Assembly of the Jewish Chautauqua Society, to be held at Atlantic City, N. J., from July 10 to 24, which has just been issued, makes interesting reading. For an organization which has been in existence but four| years, its growth has been phenomenal. | Under the direction of its founder and | chancellor, Rev. Dr. Henry Berkowitz, the soclety has been conducting a series of study circles in Jewish history and literature, and in the study of the Bible. So succesful have been these circles, that to-day they have a membership of over 1800 in the United States alone. Last year the society instituted the first summer assembly ever devoted to purely Jewlish topics. Aecording to the unqualf- fied testimony of press, pulpit and the people, much genuine good was accom- lished in arousing enthusiasm, in stimu- ating and educating religious school | teachers, and especially in awakening a | widespread interest in and for Judaism. | The prospectus of the Second nmer Assembly gives every indication that the | Tesuits this year will be even more | marked. The programme as arranged | shows evident care on the part of the| projectors to provide instruction through a varlety of channels. Popuiar lectures will be delivered by such well-known men as Bishop Vincent, the chancellor of the National Chautauqua Society, Rabbis Got- theil_and Schulman, Judges Sulzberger and Rosendale, and others. s S MUST PAY DAMAGES.
