COSACK ADMITS WITHHOLDING TRUTH When the hearing of Mrs. Craven-Fair's petition for a family allowance from the Fair estate w resumed before Judge Troutt yesterday morning Mrs. Cosack was put on the stand for further cross- examination by Attorney Plerson. While she adhered to her original story, the law- drew from her the unexpected infor- mation that previous to the time when she made her deposition in the case of Angus Craven she had an interview with D. M. Delmas, in which he advised her to conceal anything she knew regard- ing the meeting of Senator Fair and Mrs. Craven at the Mission Grammar School on occasion when she was shown the marriage contract She structions, although she had sworn to tell the truth and the whole truth. !

Asked to give in detail any conversation he had had with the Senator, Thomas re- lated that a bell-boy came to him and said that Senator Fair wanted to see him in his room. “I went to the Senator's room and he told me that he expected Miss Nettie Craven, his wife, to call, and asked me to have her come to his room at once. I went to the reception room and shortly afterward I approached a lady who had just come in and asked her if her name was Miss Nettle Craven, and on her replying in the affirmative I fook her to Senator Fair's room.

BREADWINNING 1S NOT MAN'S ONLY FUNCTION Father Yorke Discusses Vice of Divorce and Duties of Matrimony. — A most interesting and elevating address was delivered Jast evening at St. Mary's Cathedral by Rev. Peter C. Yorke. His subject was “‘Marriage and Divorce.” The lecture was listened to attentively by an audience that filled the auditorfum of the big cathedral and overflowed ifito the gal- leries. In his discourse the eloquent speaker drew the conclusions that every family should be independent within it- self; that the marriage contract should | | be between but one man and one woman, | The weakest | and that it should last until the termina- | tion of the life of at least one of the par- ties thereto. Briefly, Father Yorke said: “Man is composed of three elements— | the body, the soul and the spirit. Between | the body and the soul i a continual con- flict—the conflict between the higher and the lower man. The soul desires those things which the body does not. To-night I _will discuss the man as a member of the family and the conflict which exists within him between the body on one side and the spirit on the other. Naturally, we would expect to find the soul on the spirit’s side. Theoretically, it is on the side of grace, but practically it is on the side of the flesh. The will acts as a traitor to reason in bringing about a com- promise, which makes man practically a slave to his body. Society’s First Form. “We are all dependent one upon the other. It Is not well for man to be alone, In all walks of life we are compelied to depend upon the exertior and the more complex civilization grows the greater becomes this dependency. “Soclal Instinct in man is natural—{t 1s part of his makeup. His happiness de pends upon how much he can make others contribute to his wants forms, the family and thé civil state. first form society, takes is Both exist on their own merits independent of the other. “There is much loose speaking and much loose thinking about marriage. It is a contract. Sometimes we read in the news- papers that it is a contract, and again that it is something that should be don in the ‘good old Scotch Presbyterian way. “The duty which devolves upon thoss who enter into the marriage relation is to rear families anc in the proper way. The old maxim that ‘every man’s home is his castle’ empha- sizes the fact that the first necessity of every family is to be Independent; one not to interfere with the other.” Interference in the Family. The speaker went on to exemplify this by the assertion that upon no matter is a man more sensitive than interference with his Pamily affairs. Father Yorke argued strongly against polygamy, stating that if nothing elss could be sald against it the fact that a man had all he ‘could do to take proper care of one family was sufficlent. He said the function of the husband was not thoroughly understood; that some consid. ered his duty ended when he provided bread and shelter for those dependent upon_him. “This is not the true condition,” con- tinued Father Yorke. ““He should not only be the breadwinner of the family, but the friend, protector and guide of his children It Is well known that the bad example of a wicked or careless husband counteracts all the good the mother can do, even if she wears her fingernails down to the quick for her offsprings’ sake. “Nothing is 80 helpless as the young child, who is to be monarch of all he sur- The both are of our fellows, | Society has two | the family, | bring up their children | veys, is brought into the world in_ the most’ helpless condition and is the slow- | est of all the members of the animal | kingdom in reaching his maturity. Hence the marriage contract should not be fleet- {ing, but should be stayed. If it is entered | into for the good of the children, it should ' last as long as they do and exist through- | out the whole human life. The contract not only for the man and the woman | who enter into it, but for the helpless | little ones they bring into the world. America’s Greatest Vice. “Polygamy Is the first revolt of the { body against the unity of the family. Ana then there is the polygamy on the install- ment plan, which becomes possible by reason of our divorce laws.” Father Yorke made a scathl_fi] refer- ence to the childless couples. “This is a | vice,” he said, “in which man and woman | defeat the ends for which the marriage state was designed and live only for their | own pleasures. The Roman empire was | rotted out by just such vice. He said | the distaste for children was spreading at n alarminig rate, until it had become Episcopalians have tried to stop rce by urging society to frown upon divorced people,” he continued. ‘‘Soclety ! cannot rise above its source. Some class might close its doors against the divorced, | but you will find enough divorced people | to form a society of their own. The mi; | ery that divorce essays to heal is a mis- ery that grows upon us. | Tnless we have true men and true wo. ! men we cannot have a great nation. The (polygamy of the Mormon and the divorce | of the American must be destroyed if we expect the upbuilding of ‘the Christian | home and the sustaining of the nation.

Gras ball of the San Francisco Art Association should vanish and fade away in a beautiful afterglow. It Is to be re- gretted, however, that the serenity of the glow should be marred by personali- ties, and that ore representative of so- ciety should in resentment of a real or fancied slight place a gross indignity upon the beverage of another representative of the elite. The story goes that Addison Mizner made a request for an invitation to the carnival, which the committee either overlooked or denied. Presumably the in- vitation was for a friend, as it can hardly be imagined that Mizner himself should be denied the privileges of the function. Whatever the grievance was, Mr. Mizner fancied that E. M. Greenway, hero of a thousand quadrilles and a two-step cham- pion of local renown, was the power that prompted the refusal of the invitation. The Mizner grievance grew as the after- glow deepened, and he resolved to make the leader of the Four Hundred feel the sting of Mizner's resentment. He re- solved further that the wrong or slight should be redressed as soon as he met Greenway face to face. Days elapsed be- | fore the meeting took place, as Green- way was busy receiving congratulations upon the wonderful success of the grand march and other features of the carnival, but they met before even the surface of the Mizner wrath had cooled. The meet- ing took place in a faghionable cafe. Happlly there was no bloodshed; so so- clety and even the fair sex of soclety may read of what happened without dan- ger of the shudders. The Mizner glance caught the Greenway form—the lovely rotund form which the buds adore. It was observed by the holder of the griev- anceMhat the soclety leader was quaffing beer—plain, ordinary beer. It was noted that the boon companions of the leader of soclety were drinking beer. The na- ture of the beverage surprised Mizner, but the surprise did not swerve him from the purpose in mind. Mizner acted promptly to redress his real or imaginary wrongs, but he acted deliberately. Not desiring to create a scene or pro- | voke an uproar in a public place he strode deliberately across the room to the table where Greenway €at, placed his mouth near the unquaffed beer in the glass be- fore Greenway and taking deliberate aim | spat in the beer that Greenway was in the act of drinking. The aim of the Mizner was true. There was no miscal- culation of distance. Without the aid of a range-finder he ascertained the curve at the first fire. A professional spitter in Revenge, Spat Into the Plebeian Beverage of the Unresentful Mardi-Gras Leader. could not have done a better plece of work. Then Mizner turned one glance of ferocity on the leader of the Four Hun- dred and majestically strode away. Greenway was - paralyzed. Recovering his presence of mind he ordered more beer in another glass. The onlookers—Parrish, Runyon and others—expected that the hurry-up wagon would soon be summoned, but the expected did not happen. Green- way mused, as only one accustomed to musing can muse, and then went outside and drank in a large breath of fresh air, Then he exclaimed, “The little puppy,” and vanished 'n the gloaming. Meanwhile Mizner awalted results. Hold- ing in reserve his temper and saliva, he was readi{ to meet the shock of conflict. He 1s still waiting. Varigus are the comments made by the Four Hundred. In one set of the smart people it is contended that Greenway should have waited until Mizner ordered a drink and then retaliated by spitting in the beverage provided for quenching the Mizner thirst. Others maintain that Greenway, as the leader of a wine agency, could not afford to resent an insult placed on beer, and that the soclety leader de- served the rebuke for drinking beer in- stead of wine. The beauty of the afterglow of the car- nival is marred 13' these conflicting opin- fons. The code does not state explicitly what action a wine drinker should pursue when he is insulted in the act of drinking [ R ol e ot e e o e i o ] ‘ + Mizner BxpacTomaTas 11 N GREENWAYS GLASS .. | R e e e e o T o o I o B B o ] B B e e R e 2 b4 7 Qe ededededededre® beer, hence society has something to talk about and something to suggest.

Platt, president of the Pa- cific Union Club, ex-president of the Art Assocfation and Bohemian Club, and pros- pective president of many institutions and socleties still unborn and speaking ac- cents yet unknown, is home again from New York. He left San Francisco for the East the day before the latest assessment was placed on the club’s membership, and was not in the least disturbed by the kickers. The clubmen accepted the situa- [ R e e e ‘THALITTLE PuR SAID GREENWAY.

Pay- ments have been made, the storm is over and the atmosphere of the club is n longer charged with wrath. Mr. Platt's unexpected departure was turned to mer- riment. Dispatches were sent to_promi- nent New Yorkers, like John W. Mackay and others of his kind, “to arrest one Horace Platt, belleved to have suddenly left San Francisco for New York.” The authorities of the.Southern Pacifie Rallroad at New Orleans, reporting Mr. Platt’s presence in that city, were ad- vised by the head offica in this city to send him home at once in the car “Sac- ramento.” So it happened that the presi- dent of the Pacific Union came from the Crescent City in a sumptuous private car, all to himseif. He permitted less favored passengers llke John Rosenfeld to gaze on his solitary grandeur. On one stretch of the road, where the scenery is excep- tionally fine, he allowed ladies to come into the car for observation purposes. Miss Jennie Flood Home Again. Miss Jennle Flood arrived home yester- day from an extended tour of the East and Europe. She was met at the Oakland mole by Mr. and Mrs. James L. Flood and by Major Rathbone, who had trav- eled across the bay to welcome her and escort her to her home. It Is expected that Miss Flood will uft with her brother and they will jointly decide upon the plans for the big hotel that it is the purpose of the Flood estate to erect on the site of the destroyed Bakdwin bufld- ing. ————— Exceeded His Powers. ‘The Superfor Court of Alameda received a decided setback yesterday at the hands of the Justices of the Supreme Court. L. V.
