Holden obtained a divorce | and a fortune from Edward S. Holden | yesterday in Judge Troutt’s court. In 1897 Holden accumulated a few hundred dol- lars and in company with a woman other than his wife went to Dawson City. A few months ago Mrs. Holden filed suit for divorce, charging Holden with infi delity and desertion. Virgil Moore, Hol- | den’s partner in the Klondike venture, ar- rived in the city a few weeks ago. was subpenaed as a witness on behalf of | the plaintiff. | Moore testified that Holden was living | openly and notoriously with a woman in the Kiondike. He was possessed of prop- | erty valued at $200,000. the yield from the property last year was $104,000. Mrs. Holden corroborated Moore's | statement and Judge Troutt granted a de- | cree as prayed. Under the terms of the decree Mrs. Holden is given judgment for | alimony in the sum of $1% a month and | | one-half of the community property. Mrs, Holden will forthwith take steps to en- force the decree and galn possession of one-half of her former husband’s interest in_the Dawson mines. Mr, and Mrs. Holden were married Au- | st 26, 18%0. They formerly lived in Santa osa. . The action for divorce instituted by Jud- eon J. Traver against Laura Traver was or hearing before Judge Troutt yester- day.

B. Peppin Jr. While examining the vessel for smuggled goods Mr. Peppin found under the main stair- | way leading to the steerage a trap door | locked with a padlock. This trap when opened afforded ingress to the compart- ment where the baggage was sealed by customs officers at Seattle. From Seattle the vessel goes to Victoria, thence comes | to this . The trap @oor made it easy for the| members of the ring in Victoria to con- ceal opium in _the sealed place and land it | in San Francisco. Customs Surveyor Spear has reported | the discovery to Collector Stratton. An investigation will be set on foot at once to discover the extent of the operations | of the gang. | ————————— ———— | There is only one reason why you shouldn't | @rink Jesse Moore “AA” Whiskey—That's be- | cause 3ou have signed the pledge. -~ | | —_—————— Dr. de Costa’s Final Lecture.

These have an aggregate membership of 600. The new circles were instituted in this city, Colma, Stockton and Los Angeles. The grand body accepted a set of by- laws and to-day will adopt a constitution. The election for grand officers for the ensuing term will be held this morning. This evening the members of the Grand Circle will attend the reception in Odd Fellows' Hall. THIRTY-FIRST REGIMENT MUSTERED OUT OF SERVICE Usual Number of ‘“Fakers” Attempt to Deal With Soldiers, but Are Prevented. The Thirty-first infantry was mustered out of the volunteer service yesterday at the Presidio. The men were a saving lot, many of them receiving as much as $400 as discharge money. The usual number of “grafters” sought admission to the reservation, hoping to get a chance at the soldiers’ pay before they had a charce to send it away. They were prevented, however, from doing any illegal traffic by Provost Sergeant Davis and a mounted patrol. Several arrests were made by Sergeant Davis and his men early in the day. This had the ef- fect of scaring the fakers and resulted in the saving of many dollars to the blue- coats. A civilian dressed in soldiers’ uniform was caught soliciting for Pension Agent Howe by Sergeant Davis. He will be turned over to the police by Colonel Rawles and prosecuted. The Fortieth Infantry, which arrived on the Pennsylvania, was landed at the Presidio wharf from the steamers Mec- Dowell and Resolute yesterday forenoon. The regiment was assigned quarters in Model Camp, where it will remain until Colonel" Jocelyn and his force of clerks prepare its finals. —_—e—— Stock Bunko Men Discharged. By order of Captain Seymour, H. C. Crosby and A. H. Barton, two of the Eastern sharpers who tried to swindle lo- cal stock*brokers by means of worthless mining stock, were released from custody yesterday, as the District Attorney decid- ed that no charge could be sustained against them. Charles Gordon, alias C. 8. Stickney, alias Rodgers, alias Fegenbush, the leader of the gang, had a charge of obtaining money by ‘false pretenses booked against him for getting from Paul R. Lewis, stock broker, $10 on the repre- sentation that he was his cousin from Denver. Captain Seymour has received no reply from Chicago as to Fegenbush, who “jumped” his bonds there.

EDITORS GOMING FROM ALABAMA Visitors Will Spend Three Days in San Francisco. The members of the, Alabama Press As- sociation are coming to California imme- diately after their annual meeting _at Montgomery. They will arrive in San Francisco next Wednesday, the 26th, and will spend that day, Thursday and Friday here, leaving Friday night for San Jose. It is expected there will be 150 people in the excursion, but that number will include the wives and daughters of the editors. Probably not more than fifty or sixty newspaper men will be in the party. The Press Club has not yet been official- ly notified of the coming of the Southern editors and the. directors have taken no formal action in regard to entertainment of the visitors. However, the members of the Alabama association will be given the freedom of the Press Club quarters, and In addition some form of special en- tertainment will be arranged for them. jinks will probably be given in honor of the visitors, and 4 trip to Mount Tamal- pals has been suggested. In view of the possibilities of good accru- ing to San Francisco from the good will and free advertising which the Southern editors are likely to give the city and the State, it has been suggested that the com- mercial bodles cf San Francisco take the matter in hanq and assist in extending hospitality to the visitors, so that they may return to Alabama feeling they were in reality San Francisco's guests. ‘The Call has extended an invitation to the editors to be its guests for an outing on the bay on one day of their visit in San Francisco, and the invitation has been accepted on behalf of the association by its secretary, J. Asa Rountree, editor of the Dixie Manufacturer, of Birmingham. After leaving San Francisco the ~Ala- bama_editors will visit San Jose, Monte- rey, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. They will spend’ fifteen days on their trip to the coast, traveling 6000 miles. —_— SETTING OF MRS.

The case of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, charged with the murder of Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane of Dover, Del., by send- ing them poisoned candy, was called in Judge Cook’s court yesterday to be set. Judge Burnett was on the bench. The de- fendant was accompanied by her sister and looked in good health and spirits. On motion of her attorney, George A. Knight, the matter was continued till June 2. By that time Judge Cook will have returned from Santa Rosa. The defendant left the courtroom, but returned with her attorney, who askedj the Judge for permission to allow her to visit a dentist, as she was suffering from a decayed tooth.

Republicans to Assist in Reform Work. Measures to Awaken Public Interest in Coming Pri- mary Election. The Republican Primary League, T.

Barnes, L W. Hell- man Jr., R. }. Lloyd, Marion Leventritt, John L. Koster, Phil N. Lilienthal, Vanderlynn Stow, Emile Bauer, Al Gerberding, Warren Dutton, H. P. Sonntag, George K. Fitch, H. N.

B Wakeficld Baker, J. Eppinger, Max Brooks, George A. Moore, T. W. Collins, C. B. Rode, Frank J. Symmes. In shaping and directing the affairs of the organization the .directors -of the league will be guided largely by the in- telligent judgment of the men comprising the advisory committee. Several letters were received from well-known citizens who could not serve as advisors, but the letters of declination commended the pur- poses of the league and pledged active support in the good work. The main purpose of the organization is to awaken in the minds of the citizens of San Francisco a sensq of the import- ance of the primary election. This is re- garded as the first step to the end of at- taining #ood local government. The law governing the primary election glves the will be counted in favor of the delegates voted for. If the workingmen, business men and taxpayers generally will go to tne polls and vote delegates representing their sentiments will be elected to the munici- pal nominating convention. If good citi- zens remain indifferent and apathetic the political bosses will combine and _seize ithe conventions. The directors of the Primary League reiterate the declaration contained in the original articles that the organization has no candidates to favor. At a meeting of the league last evening the following statement was indorsed: Sets Forth Its Objects. The Republican Primary League presents to the members of the Republican party and to the citizens of San Francisco generally, the objects and necessity of its organization. Disunion has for some time existed in the Republican party here, the first and primary cause of which has been that the local ma- chinery of the party has at times been under the control of selfish and corrupt men who are Republicans only in name, who foster every political vice, are ignorant of every civic vir- ture, and glory in political evil doing, using their followers with either party as may best subserve their selfish and corrupt ends. Real Republicans have time and again revolt- ed against these vicious tricksters, but after a brief interval the same men, making a busi- ness of politics, having no legitimate occu- pation and handiing the venial and plastic ma- terial at their hands, have again seized control. Tired of the struggie, many of the leaders of the better elements of the party have joined independent political movements as a remedy. The vital weakness of all prior movements for a better administration of political affairs resulted from the fact that there was no permanent bond of union between the reform leaders. The corrupt and tricky bosses were thus able to place their followers within the lines of the reform movements, disintegrating them. or by united effort on their own part and apathy on the part of their opponent were able to steal away results and party organization. The . Republican Primary League has been formed to prevent this old device of the bosses, and to unite all Republicans in one harmonious body. This organization is to be developed so that all citizens desirous of promoting a move- ment of local party affairs and a good munici- pal government shall have a voice in its con- trol. Its plan of organization is similar to that adopted by the best social and fraternal organizations of our city. A second reason and necessity for the existence of the Republican Primary League is that the enactment of the new primary law by the last Legislature of the State involves the development of a new system of party machinery in which every member may participate under every safeguard and sanction of the law. Many of the inaugurators of this movement were instrumental in securing the enactment of this important agd beneflcial legislation, as & means to secure free and independent political action, and the organization is pledged to its maintenance. 0ld System of Control Is Dead. The old system of control of the party through the county committees system, always under “'boss control;”" is now fortunately dead, and the power of such committees is practical- Iy destroyed. Through the agency of the pri- mary law this new organization hopes to de- velop a system of politics which will enable a party member to interest himself in local af- fairs with personal security and decency and with the knowledge that his vote will be honestly counted. This movement was not inaugurated to fur- ther the interest of any man. It has no can- didates, nbr will it oppose the political am- bitions of any fit man. Whatever influences it may exert will be fairly, honestly and openly used for the best interests of the party, our city and its citizens. It has mo intention to extend its sphere of action beyond the limit of the municipality, and will not seek to In- terfere with the regular State or national or- ganizations of the party, nor to defeat or de- Stroy the political action of any individuals in thelr district organizations, but it will en- deavor to use its influence for the purpose of strengthening all district organizations which have in_view the purposes and objects for which this league is instituted. If possible, it will adjust and end much of the strife here- tofore considered necessary in political affairs, and its success depends, of course, largely upon the good faith of the originators of the move- ment, and they pledge themselves openly to further ‘n every honorable way the best in- terests of the party and of our municipal gov ernment, and to secure and maintain a cleanly party administration and a strong, clean and honest municipal government. It may not be generally recalled that it was at a Republican municipal convention that the “‘dollar limit" plan of taxation originated, which for over twenty years has been the safeguard of municipal finance. In those days gentlemen of standing dld not hesitate to con- nect themselves with the party in ‘municipal affairs, and_a Board of Supervisors nominated by a Republican convention was elected which actually conducted the local government hon- estly and went out of office having a surplus of half a milllon dollars unexpended and carry- ing with it the good will and esteem of all its fellow citizens. Aims to Advance Party. This organization frankly states that its ob- jects_are to advance the political interests of the Republican party and to assist in obtain- ing a sound and safe and honest municipal administration, and that it proposes to secure these results by the most honorable, open and free methods. It will be its ancecvor to enlist all Republi- cans In a united and harmonious political or- ganization and to secure the sympathetic in- terest and friendly concurrence in political af- SEMI-ANN ADVERTISEMENTS.

It will seek to bring to the party’'s support all who are interested in good government and will endeavor to arouse in all good citizens, irrespective of party, a willingness to partici- pate in the city’s political affairs. The Republican Primary League was formed for these purposes and expects thereby to re- establish the prestige of the Republican party | in this city. The originators of the movement have pledzed themselves so to extend and de- velop it that all who are members of the party, and who so desire, may connect themselves with of its members.

The Republican Primary League welcomes the opposition of the bosses, and views with satisfaction the prospective end of their cor- rupt political ccntrol, which will be accom- plished :hrough this organization and others of similar character seeking the same result. The Republican Primary League freely invites all Republicans in sympathy with the fore- going declarations to join the league and to assist in securing the desired results. The commo’icus headquarters of the league at 920 Market street is now open daily, and all Republicans are cordially invited to visit the same at their pleasure. FEDERAL PATRONAGE. Kahn Recommends Reappointment of Postmaster Montague. Representative Julius Kahn of the Fourth Congressional District has recom- mended to the President the reappoint- ment of W. W. Montague, Postmaster of San Francisco. Mr. Kahn maintains that | the office is in his district and according to established custom the patronage be- longs to the Representative in Congress of the district, or in other words the Con- gressman has the right to name the Post- master. Of course if the Senator happens to dwell in the city his wishes, according to custom, must be considered. Senator Perkins lives in Oakland and Senator Bard dwells in Ventura County. Hence Julius Kahn is alone in his district glory. Representative Eugene F. Loud's Fifth District embraces, however, a consider- able area of San Francisco, but Mr. Kahn figures that his colleague in the House has twenty or more good postoffice appoint- ments in Santa Clara and San Mateo countfes. Mr. Kahn does not apprehenda any objection from the Fifth District to the recommendation in Mr. Montague's avor. The talk about Senator Bard's inclina- tion to recommend Albert Gerberding for Postmaster of this city is thought to be mere conjecture. Colonel George Stone is not a candidate for the office. Mr. Kahn understands that Senator Perkins is ready to recognize the right of Representatives to name the Postmasters, but contends that all the rest of the Federal patronage belongs to the Senators.
