Lukes, who runs a coal yard in this city, went gunning for the man who stole his account books. In- stead of using powder and a re- volver he used flashlight powder and a camera. He captured his man by photo- graph and now has a picture of him in the act of entering the coal yard In the dead of night. s noticed one day that his ledger ing and that there were indica- tions of his other books having been in- vestigated. He suspected that a man to whom he owed some money had entered the coal yard at night and taken the books home to make an investigation of his financial standing. Being interested in amateur photography, Lukes armed him- elf with a camera and a load of flash- light nowder and waited. After a considerable wait the very first night Lukes heard footsteps. When they got about in the right position he fired the flash. The light blinded both Lukes and the intruder. The latter escaped before Lukes could begin to see. But Lukes had the plate developed and he found that he had a picture of Albert Olsen on his plate. Olsen is a relative of the man to whom Lukes owes the monev. The ledger has been returned. Lukes has em- ploved A, F. St. Sure as his attorney, but there will be no prosecution. This is Lukes' story of how he photo- phed the man who was breaking into coal yard: On the first of the month I wanted to make out some bills, but when I went to look for my ledger it was gone from its accustomed place. With one of my em- ploy Johnson, 1 looked high and low for the book. Finally we found ft on top of the big ice chest.

Superintendent of Schools Webster re- | turned yesterday without his approval a number of demands for salaries of labor- ers sent to him for his signature by the The demands ag- Board of Bducation. gregated some $1200. The ground for Webster's refusal to sign them was that they were not properly certificated. The charter provides that ‘‘every demand Shali have indorsed upon it a certificate Signed by the secretary of its approval by the Board of Education, showing the date thereof and the' law authorizing it by | title, date and section.” It 'was on this account that the suit of P. M. Wellin, inspector of schoolhouse repairs, was thrown out of court by Judge Seawell. Wellin sued to compel Webster to sign his demand, Webster giving as a reason for his refusal to audit it that Wellin's services were not engaged in ac- cordance with the provisions of the char- ter. Such demands have never contained the proper certification in the past, and Webster, taking his cue from Judge Sea- well's decision, will not sign them in the future unless the certificate is attached. Sccretary Hanson of the Board of Educa- tion agreed to supply the certificate on tne demands and Webster will sign them as scon as the formality is complied with. — o RAILROAD CONDUCTORS ON A PLEASURE TRIP Gay Party of Pennsylvania Tourists Enjoying a Brief Visit to This City.

Attorneys Archie Campbell and George Franklin Curtis had a quarrel at Clay and Kearny streets yesterday afternoon and during the fight Curtis was thrown to the sidewalk and his left leg broken above the ankle. Campbell accused Curtis of interfering with his clients and endeavoring to get them to engage him in preference to Campbell. Matters came to a climax a few days ago when Curtis succeeded in taking a case-from Campbell, who had been engaged to defend a woman charged with vagrancy. The case was finally dis- posed of yesterday morning. Campbell and Curtis left the Hall of Justice together and when they reached the corner Campbell accused Curtis of un- professional conduct. Angry words fol- lowed and Curtis began to pull off his overcoat. Campbell closed upon him and in the struggle Curtis was thrown to the stdewalk, breaking his leg. The strug- gle continued for a minute or two on the sldewalk when bystahders interfered and separated them. _Campbell was willing to surrender himself, but no complaint had been sworn to. Curtis and Judge Cabaniss had a row a few months ago but no bones were broken or blood spilled.

His Wife Also Enjoins Him From Disposing of His Estate. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 7. Love at first sight, an inherited fortune and a-young wife's dream of happiness | shattered almost before the echoes of the marriage vows had been stilled are some of the elements of a romantic story | told in a divorce complaint which has been filed against William J. Hopkins in | the Alameda County Superior Court. The defendant is a grand-nephew and an heir of the late Mark Hopkins. The young man, who is better known among a wide | circle of friends as “'Billy” Hopkins, is a son of Mrs. Josephine K. Hopkins, who, with her sen and beautiful daughter, Miss Mabel Hopkins, resided .for many years in Oakland. Their home is now in’ San Francisco, where Miss Hopkins is said to be one of the most charming of the Gold- en Gate's belles. o The story of “Billy” Hopkins' marital troubles has all the flavor of a modern romance. The wife, who fifteen months after sheé became the spouse of Hopkins seeks a divorce, was Miss 1da W. Piatc | of Rumsey, Yolo County. Miss Platt and young Hopkins met at hland Springs during the winter of 158J. She was a trained nurse, graduated from Fabiola Hospital at Oakland, and was at the springs on account of profes- sional business. They were married at Larkspur in Feb- ruary of last year, and their troubles commenced net a month after the wed- ding. The complaint, which charges cruelty, neglect and intemperance, was | very quietly filed in the County Clerk’s office. Mrs. Hopkins does not accuse her hus- band of beating her or of using physical force upon her, but the cruelty she com- plains of is that which brings bitterness and mental suffering. She declares that she-was made the butt of her husband's cruel nagging in public to her great hu- miliation. The grieving bride of a month was_forced, she recites, to see her hus- band flirting with waitresses at the springs where they spent their honey- moon. On numerous occasions Mrs. Hop- kins avers that she was made the target | of her husband’s untoward actions, in which pretty girls, employes of the hotel, were the objects of his attentions. On one occasion Mrs. Hopkins tells the circumstances of a debauch in _which her spouse was the central figure. During the revelings he fired a pistol, arousing the guests at the hotel, who discovered his condition, much to his wife's humiliation. The experiences cover the months be- tween February and October, when Mrs. Hopkins left the springs .and came to Oakland. In November a child was born to her at Fablola Hospital. Since that time, according to the complaint, Hop- kins’ treatment of the mother has not im- proved. The complaint concludes with a charge of intemperance as one of the grounds for the legal separation the vouthful bride and mother has asked to be_granted. The financial side of the story is hardly less interesting than that revealed con- cerning the purely domestic turbulence. Befcre the ink was scarcely dry upon the aivorce complaint young Hopkins fell into a fortune, the value of which is vari- ously estimated at between $100,000 and $200,000, his portion of an estate left to him in trust by his father, the late Orrin Hop- kins, who was Mark Hopkins’ nephew. The estate is composed of considerable realty holdings and collateral reputed to be of much value and situated in San Francisco. _Young Hopkins could not come into absolute possession of his for- tune until he reached the age of 25 years. The estate was held in trust by W. S. Hopkins and Edward Hopkins, his uncles. 12 On Sunday the young man attained the age stipulated in the trust clause of the will and he is now the sole owner of the estate. But it will be of little service to him until the divorce case is settled, because Mrs. Hopkins has had an injunction served upon her husband, which prevents him from touching his estate until the case has been settled. Pending the litiga- tion she asked to be allowed alimony, the amount of which shall be determined after a hearing in court. The young man was served with the pa- pers at Hopland yesterday. His residence during the past two years has been divid- ed between San Francisco and Highland Springs, the latter resort being his favor- ite place of retreat. The divorce case was brought in Oakland because Mrs. Hop- kins_has made this city her legal place of residence. Her relatives are prominent in Yolo County. STILL DISCUSSING THE WATER . QUESTION Councilmen Unable to Determine ‘Where Money Can Come From tc Pay Company. OAKLAND, May 7.—The special joint committea of the City Council and the Board of Education which was organized to confer cn the high school deficit held a three hours’ session to-night and ad- journed after reporiing that no conclusion had been reached. W. J. Dingee's proposition to accept a rebate on water bills was discussed at length and the pect of raising necessary money was under debate. committeemen said they would meet to- morrow night before the Council session and consider the situation further with Auditor Breed. Without making any specific statement as to results Councii- man Dornin said: ‘“We were somewhat in the dark because Auditor Breed was not present. It Is .argely a question of determining where the money can come from to pay the water company. There was mot unanimity of opinion about the proposition to retire Judge Hayne. City Attorney Johnson was not present to- night so we could get no o‘plnlnn concern- ing the legality of any action on Dingee's offer. We desire to confer with Mr. John- son before proceeding further.' School Director Button said:- “I can only add that matters look much brighter than they did yesterday.” The committeemen present were Coun- cilmen Dornin, Bon and Bishop and School Directors Button, Redington and Isaacs.

C 11 NARROWLY ESCAPE DEATH BY FIRE | Occupants of Apartment House Leap From- Windows. Midnight Blaze in New York Results in Injury to Sev- eral Persons. A e NEW YORK, -Mav 7.—A fire which started just before midnight on the ground floor of the five-story apartment- house at twenty or more familles into the street and many people had narrow escapes. The police and firemen, aided by citizens, rescued several persons. Two were in- Jjured and taken to the Presbyterian Hos- pital and several are reported missing. The fire started in a butter and egg store. It spread rapidly, and in a few minutes had eaten through the four other houses, all five-story apartments. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Young, who lived on the fourth floor of one house, jumped from the window of their apartment into a life net. Mrs. Young received severe contu- slons and internal injurfes and was taken to a hospital, as was her husband. A man was seen at the window of one of the third floors as if he were about to jump. Then he disappeared, and it is feared he was either burned or smoth- ered to death. Miss Waldron ‘attempted to jump from the fourth floor into the life net. She missed it, falling into the arms of half a dozen poficemen and firemen. She was injured and taken to a hospital, as was one of the men holding the net. Mrs. Wanamaker attempted to jump into the net. She struck the fire escape on the first floor, receiving internal injuries. She was removed to a hospital. Carrie John- son, servant girl, is reported missing. SUFFERERS FROM FIRE ARE RAPIDLY RELIEVED Tents Erected in Jacksonville and Provisions Supplied to the Un- fortunate Citizens. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 7.—The al- most superhuman work of the different committees has somewhat relieved the situation and it is now believed that in every instance those without proper £0o; and clothing were in a measure cared fo) to-day and that to-night there are vastly fewer people who were compelled to sleep upon the streets. Two hundred tents were erected to-day, and while those were crowded to-night with sleepers, this con- dition’ will be relieved to-morrow by the arrival of 2000 tents from the genaral gov- ernment at Washington, which will be erected at once. The military companies have been of great assistance with their experience in rapidly efecting tents, and before to-mor- row night there will be several tented villages in the city with cots and blank- ets and a water supply in almost every village for the sufferers. To-morrow there will also be provided several extra commissary stations various parts of the city to relieve the situation at the two alreaay established, and no doubt there will be one in each village of tents. There has been no out- break of sickness in the city and the several cases of nervous prostration which have been reported are now well on the way to recovery. Thousands of people have left the city. Those remain- ing and able will be given some kind of labor at the bureaus which have been established.
