S TR Alameda Office San Francisco Call, 1428 Park street, March 13. Mrs. Lulu Homeier-Shane is highly in- dignant at the statements made by her husband concerning the clrcumstances surrounding their wedding and the subse- quent events of their matrimonial career. In the story published exclusively In last Friday's Call the husband, George Shane, of 2714 Bryant street, San Francisco, as- serted that his marriage to Miss Homeier was a horrible nightmare; that he was in an alcoholic trance when it happened and that he knew nothing about the ceremony several days later, when he re- gained consciousness. In contradiction of all this Mrs. Shane says that Phe only nightmare in either’s matrimonial experience has bgen Miss Nora Riordan of Ivy avenue, San Fran- cisco, who was bridesmaid at the wed- ding, and who, she claims, has been the cause of all the trouble between herself and Mr. Shane since the secret marriage at San Rafael in October, 1897 “A week before our wedding,” said Mrs. Shane to a Call representative, *Mr. Shane engaged Miss Riordan and Joseph Swift to act as bridesmaid and groom, respectively. That does not look as if the marriage was planned on the spur of the moment. months after the cerem: ticed that my husband was’ paying more attention to the bridesmald than he was to me. When I remonstrated he threat- ened to beat me and I left him. Later we met at the home of Dr. Sander in Alame- da, to whom I had told my troubles. The doctor acted the part of peacemaker and tried to settle the differences between when I no- | us, but did not succeed.

But when misfortune overtook Captain Burns in the aorth he had to look to his schoon- er-yacnt for an income. He brought ner to San Francisco and put her in the lum- ber trade. . Four years ago he started on his first trip for this island, but failed to find it. Eighteen months ago a party of Phila- delphia capitalists came to the coast with one of the most gauzy tales ever conceiv- od. The leader of the party had a map of Cocos Island showing where was buried several large chests of Spanish gold. Over $10.009 was invested in this enterprise, and the Vine was chartered to make the voy- Gage in charge of its owner, Captain Burns. The voyage to Cocos Island was made, and its _owner, August Gissler, known as the Wild Dutchman, assisted the party in every way possible to find the treasure. Of course it was never found, but the adventurers came back to the coast after having been shown all over the fruitful island and being well informed as to the immense riches which Gissler was making by growing coffee and other industries. Captain Burns formed a very definite theory regarding the treasure-huntimg voyages which have been made on many occasions by different parties to this isi- and. He believed that all the stories emanated from some source, inspired by Gissler, and that they were nothing more | A Pilfering Tramp Brought to Time After a Lively Race With an Irate Woman. { Alameda Office San Francisco Call, | 1428 Park street, March 13.

NATIVE BORN BUT ARE NOT CITIZENS IN FACT IMPORTANT OP?I};ION OF THE TREASURY SOLICITOR. Conflicts With a Recent Decision of the United States Supreme Court. The Solicitor of the Treasury has ren- dered a decision which, if sustained and applied to the Chinese landing here on the plea of being native-born Americans will put a strong check to the flood of Chinese immigrants. Several weeks ago’ an Ttallan woman and her two children, aged 6 and 10 years were refused a landing at the port of New York on the ground that they were liable to become a public charge. They appealed to National Immigration Com- missioner Powderly on the ground that the children were born in the United States, and therefore had a right to re- turn to and remain in this country. The matter was turned over to the Solicitor of the Treasury, who rendered an opinion that a child born in this country of a | foreign father and taken abroad by his | father acquires said parent’s domic nationality, The chilaren and meir":.:{x'f er were accordingly .ordered deported to the country whence they came. United States Commissioner Heacock, who has the initiative in passing upon the claims of Chinese seeking entrance to this country by the habeas corpus route, is greatly interested in the decision, prin- cipally because he has a dissenting opin- fon. United States Attorney Foote does not think the decision of the Treasury Solicitor will stand because the United itl:;e‘s Supreme }(‘llm‘:n thga decided other- n a case which at rst gl o, be dentical with 1t Leeelia s decision was rendered Marc] 1898, in the case of Wong Kim Ark, whg claimed to be a native son. He had been taken back to China by his parents, and when he sought readmission.he was ex- is con- | cluded on the ground that he was not citizen or subject of the United States, even admitting that he was born here. The Supreme Court decided that only in one place in the Constitution was the def- inition of a citizen given, and that was in section 1, of article XIV: “All per- sons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to_ the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” United States Attorney Henry 8. Foote argued the case by brief for the Gov- ernment, and George D. Collins pyesented the case for the Chinaman. The Supremc Court decided, several of its members dis- senting, tion of the Constitution quoted was de- claratory of the common law and not of international law, and that therefore a person born in the United States IS 2 citizen irrespective of the political status of his parents. The only exceptions to this rule are the children of sovereigns, ambassadors and alien enemies. Judge Heacock is studying the United States decision and comparing H with that of the Solicitor of the Treasury. If the two cases are alike he will be bound by the decision of the Supreme Court and pay no heed to that of the Solicitor. But if they are cases involving a different is- sue he may be able to reconcile the two that the language of that por-| 1TUA R P A oan REFINED person like to take care of children; can do mending or upstairs work; also can Walt on a lady; can go as companion; s & good reader. 1637% Fulton st.

One Gets Six Months and the Other Is Held to Answer Before the Superior Court. Two wifebeaters were severely dealt with in the Police Courts yesterday, and Judge Graham in the case brought before him remarked that the pillory should be introduced for such a man. S. L. Stare’s wife, who lives at 101 Min- na street, testified before Judge Graham that she had supported her husband for the past seven years. He was in the habit of abusing and beating her and last Friday he called at her house and ac- cused her of being out of the house the previous night. She denied it and he grabbed hold of her right arm and, twist- had bruises on her body from his blows. The Judge, in sentencing him to six months in_the County Jall, sald he was sorry the law_prohibited him from mak- ing it more. He thought the old custom of the pillory should be brought into use for such brutes as the defendant. It was one of the worst cases that had ever been brought to his notice.

It was suggested that the charge be reduced to battery, but Pollan spoke up and demanded a trial by jury, charging the Judge, prosecuting at- torney and police with conspiring to rail- road him to_jail.
