BRANDES DISRUPTS A HOME P, J. Schaffer, Sued for Divorce, Accuses Mur- derer's Wife, Says Woman Hovered About Household Like an Evil Spirit. OakKland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 4. A aivorce suit was filed to-day by Zebu- line H. Schaffer against Paul J. Schaffer, Deputy, Postmaster of the city of Oak- land. Mrs. Schaffer charges her husband | with extreme cruelty and general neglect, | & faflure to support her and a lot of col-| lateral charges. But in and around all this there is woven a queer, strange story in which Mrs. Etta Brandes appears as the woman of mystery—an actual woman | in black, posing under the name of Rosa | Thell. Mr. Schaffer says that Mrs. Bran- | des has broken up his family and the | familles of others, and to this weird woman he attributes all of his troubles. Mr. and Mrs. Paul J. Schaffer are well known in Oakland. He has been promi-| nent in politics for a number of years, | was Secretary of the Board of Heulth‘ for a long while, was later secretary for | Congressman Metcalf, and has served as | Deputy Postmaster of Oakland for nearly | two years. Only among a few of the| friends of the couple has the story of their | differences crept out. The divorce papers | were filed for Mrs. Schaffer this after- | noon by Chapman & Clift, her attorney Mr. Schaffer announces that he will make a contest for the purpose of securing pos- session of the three children. Up to the | | present time Mr. Schaffer has not dis- | cussed his family affairs, but with the filing of the compiaint he comes out open- |1y and charges his troubles against Mr: | Brandes, the wife of the man who is ser | ing 2 ten-year term in Folsom prison for | the murder of his daughter, and the wi man who figured in the case in nearly | | as culpable a degree as her husband. | The Trail of the Serpent. “Over all of this is the trail of the ser- pent,” said Paul J. Schaffer, when he was served with the complaint, “and the ser- | pent is Mrs. Etta Brandes. The woman | who was accused of aiding her husband {in the murder of their daughter is the | woman who broke up my home and that | | of others of whom I know. Against my { wife I have nothing to say, except that I am afraid thai Mrs. Brandes and a too | close study of Christian Science has | turned her head. 1 hardly believe that | any one in complete possession of her fac- | ultles would nave done what she has | | done. | “How my wife became interested in this | strange womaa I do not know. All that I| know is that one day I came home as | usual and fourd a woman in black sitting at my table. She was introduced to me as Rosa Thell, 2 widow, who was in deep trouble and in whom my wife had taken | an interest and whom she wanted to help. She occupied part of my house, sat at my | table and was part of my family for a considerable period of time before I found | out who she wzs. My surprise can be im- agined when I found out that she was the wife of 2 man who had been convicted of 2 most brutal murder and who was ac- | cused of being a party to an effort to con- ceal the crime, even if she was not really a party to it. There was no palming off the ipnocent wife of a brutal husband upon me, for she had been proven in the | | first trial to be nearly as bad as her hus- band, and there was then hanging over | her head a charge of being accessory to the murder. There she was in my house | in daily communication with my children | under an assumed name. 1 refused to al- low it, and then came the first open rup- | ture, “Since then I have learned that Mrs. Brandes has been the cause of another di- Yyorce. She appeared in the family of Mr. | Sharpe, a_neighbor of mine, under the | name of Rosa Theil. and it was over vear ago that she advised Mrs. Sharpe to | |Sue her husband for a divorce. Mrs. Sharpe has since done so, and I believe that she secured her divorce some months | ago, her husband not desiring to make any contest. = H “Now I have fallen a victim to the same | malign influence in exactly the same way. She has probabiy given my wife the same adyice that she gave Mrs. Sharpe. | “That_woman- is dangerous to be at | large. She has the power of a Svengall and she casts her spell over women who | will listen to ler. She makes her livin by breaking up families, as she has done | mine. “As long as she can get the woman to listen to her and can keep the hus- and away from home or get the woman | | to sue for’divcrce she can live at their | expense. When she can no longer work her baneful arts upon one family she ex- | tends her influence, like some poisonous, | viclous thing, over another, and so she | continues to live. | *And while this is going on familles | | are broken up, children are made parent- ‘ | Mrs. Brandes a Svengali. ‘ g i | less and husbands are deprived of home | and happiness. T may be a little bitter, but I have suffered and I feel what I | | say. i | “She has secured complete control over | my wife. Why, she even interested her | in the cases of those three toughs who | were accused of assaulting a girl in | | West Oakland, and she, with my wife, | assisted in securing money for their de- | fense.

She | had become interested in that and went | to an extreme on it.

"It was a place where people | 3 (l;ag:e in without knocking or ringing the | ell. “And over all this Mrs. Brandes tiaued to hover like an evil spirit, “I em going to fight the case because I don’t want my children to be subjected to_influences like these.” The complaint is_quite a long one and charges that Mr. Schaffer did not prop- erly provide for his family, that he used his money for his own purposes, and that he drank agd gambled, that he ill-treated his wife at-home and caused her great mental _anguish. Mrs. Schaffer has taken a great inter- est in Christian Science and ranks as first reader of the Second Christian | Science Church of East Oakland. She has a Christian Science reading-room at her residence, which is devoted to Christian Science literature. to which Mr. The Sharpe divorce, Schaffer refers, was granted about two Mrs. Sharpe chatged _her months_ago. husband with statutory cruelty, and he | did not make any answer in the courts, | though he made the statement at the con- time that the cause of the breaking up of his family was Mrs. Brandes. Did Not Violate the Law. Dan O'Callaghan is indignant at the report published in which it is made to appear that he violated the quar- antine regulations of the port in boarding the Austrian steamship Klek before that yessel had recelved free pratique from the Federal juarantine officials. O'Cal- laghan says that he would never dream of doing such a thing, that he has never done such a thing and that the report of his having defied the law was the result of a_case of mistaken identity. It was a butcher, not O’Callaghan. he says, whose haste to board the Austrian earned Dr. Carmichael's reprimand. O’Callaghan de- clares that he is a law-abiding citizen, and that his natural impulse would be rather to aid the authorities in enforcing the laws than to tamper them by break- ing through regzulations.

F ROIMANCE OF A CONCERT ROOTr1 ENDS WITH A HAPPY WEDDING Son of Scottish Lord Hears Miss Adelaide Roddy Sing in New Mexico and at Once Falls Captive to Her Many Charms---Marriage Takes Place Beneath a Canopy of American and English Flags HERE was a pretty wedding last evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Richards, 981 Sut- ter street, the contracting parties being thelr grarddaughter, Miss Adelaide Roddy, and Captain R. W. Max- well Trayner, formerly of the Royal Dragoons, H. M. A., but now a big ranch owner of New Mexico. Elaborate prepa- rations were made for the wedding. In the handsome drawing-rooms, where the ceremony was performed, the folds of the American and English flags were grace- fully intermingled, and with the aid of trailing vines and brilliant-hued blossoms made a most attractive decoration. At 8 o'clock, in the presence of 100 in- vited guests, the young couple took up their position beneath the flag canopy and were made husband and wl%e by %lshop Nichols. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Mazle Roddy, who officiated as maid of honor. Myron H. Peck acted as best man, and little Miss Marion Rich- ards as ring-bearer. The bride wore a dainty gown of white pina cloth elaborately trimmed with mousseline. The regulation bridal veil and wreath of orange blossoms completed the costume. Miss Mazie Roddy wore a;»retty gown of pink pina cloth trimmed with pink chiffon. Miss Marion Richards was daint- gowned In blue pina cloth, trimmed with chiffon. The wedding of last evening was the culmination of a Ere!ty romance, the opening chapter of which was placed in a concert hall in New Mexico. Miss Roddy was touring New Mexico with a concert company. The night the company opened Captain Trayner, who had just returned from a European visit, dropped into the hall just as Miss Roddy was finishing her last number. One glance was enough for the Royal Dragoon. He saw the lady, she conquered and twenty- four hours later they had been properly roduced, and the second son of Lord ayner of the Grange, Edinburgh, Scot- land, was putting forth his best efforts | to_win her. The lady who last evening became Cap- tain Trayner's bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Roddy. She is charming and accomplished and is the fortunate possessor of a magnificent soprano voice. Captain and Mrs. Trayner will leave to- day for New Mexico, where they will make their future home. D Miss Harriet M. Griswold and John A. Faull were married last evening at the home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. W. 0. Gould, on Central avenue. On account of recent bereavements in the families of both the bride and greom the wedding | was a very quiet affair and only the im- mediate friends and relatives witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. Dr. Clampett. Miss Sophie Faull was maid of honor and Miss Edith Lynn was bridesmaid. Henry Faull, brother of the groom, was best man, and Dr. W. F. Griswold, broth- er of the bride, gave her away. The bride wore anelegant gown of white crepe de chine. The skirt was made en train and the corsage was trimmed with duchesse lace. Miss Faull and Miss Lynn were attired alike in dainty .gowns of white point d’esprit over white silk. Mr. and Mrs. Faull will leave to-day for their future home in Portland, Or. On September 9, at the residence of L. H. Sweeney, in San Rafael, Miss Alma Crowell and Harrison Freeman of Hart- ford, Conn., will be married.

A disputed fence line, a love affair, a fist fight between members of two factions and several rifle shots fired from a hilltop at one of the faction leaders, have com- bined to start a feud in Redwood Canyon. But, unlike a Kentucky feud, the partici- pants are not depending wholly upon their rifles and their fists. They have car- ried the battle to the Justice Court at Haywards, where a warrant has been is- sued for the arrest of John McCarthy on a charge of taking two shots at Michael Murphy. Far down in that little canyon that was named after the big redwood trees that once grew thickly on the hillsides live Michael Murphy and Eugene Riley. They, have small canyon ranches that are as wild as if they were hundreds of miles away in the heart of the Sierras instead of being less than ten miles distant from the city of Oakland. Redwood Canyon is | narrow and its sides are steep. Cultiva- tion of the ground is difficult and not ac- companied by any great profit. Michael Murphy and Eugene Riley, res- idents of the canyon, have been quarrel- ing over a fence line, The amount of land involved in the dispute is not great and would hardly recompense them for the amount of fighting and the trouble that has already occurred. But neither side would yield, and the bitter feelin, grew while the disputed fence remailne on the ground. 3 An_effort was made yesterday to set the ferce. Michael Murphy had several men behind him. Eugene Riley was sim- flarly enforced. The battle first raged with fists and there were several sore heads and disfigured faces as a result. Suddenly two shots rang out and the fight stopped. The shots came from a neigh- boring hilltop, and Michael Murphy says the bullets came near him. He’says the shots were fired by John McCarthy, a young man who is in love with the daughter of Bugene Riley. This is the story Murphy told Justice Prowse of Haywards yesterday and upon which a warrant was issued for McCarthy’s arrest on & charge of assault with intent to kill, Marriage Licenses Issued.

BERKELEY, Sept. 4—The University of California students who caused the | rush at the freshman organization meet- | ing two weeks ago have escaped with a | censure at the hands of dthe executive i committee. The matter has been dropped so far as the present offenders are con- cerned, but suspension or expulsion is promised the student who again disobeys President Wheeler's anti-rush rule. though condemning the acts of the rush- ers the committee has let the case go to | serve as a warning to others who are tempted to disobey. The executive committee met last night and passed the following resolution: Whereas, At the recent organization of the freshman class, certain parties conducted them- selves in a way not becoming college men and directly contrary to the wish of President Wheeler. Be it Resolved, That the action of such students be condemned by the Assoclated Students of the University of California and in particular that the actions of S. R. Danebaum of the junior class, W. A. E. Woods and F. W. Skinner of the sophomore class are worthy of censure because of actions not only thought- less but malicious; but since aforesald stu- dents have since apologized to President Wheeler and otherwise shown their regret for their actions at that time, the executive eom- mittee of the Associated Students of the Uni- versity of California is disposed to be lenient in_this particular instance: and be it further Resolved, That any similar action in the future elther of these students or any others will_be considered cause for severe discipline to the extent of suspension or expulsion from the student body. The men whose names are mextioned in the committee’s resolution are accused of being the prime instigators in the rush movement. On August 23 they, with a crowd of other students, attempted to break up the freshman organization meet- ing in progress in Harmon gymnasium. A conflict ensued, but the freshmen, aided | by the juniors, managed to keep the at- tacking sophomores out of the building. The main door of the gymnasium was carried away during one of the struggles and other damage of a like nature was done to university property. Worse than this, however, the rush ‘occurred after President Wheeler had issued a special notice requesting those not concerned in the meeting to stay away. The affair was given into the hands of the Associated Students and that body turned it over to its executive committee with power to act. A serles of apologies to President Wheeler following rapidly after the rush served to stop severe pun- ishment.

Par- dee returned with his ‘wife to-night from a six weeks’ trip through Southern Cali- fornia. The doctor was not inclined to discuss politics and pleaded weariness after his trip. He would not say whether he would be a candidate for Governor. He also declined to say whether the re- port telegraphed from Los Angeles that he had announced his candidacy was true or mot. Ini fact, Dr. Pardee did not want to_talk politics. Dr. Pardee has been seriously ill, and there was ample reason for his trip, though the politicians affect to see much significance in the climate he sought. The arrival of Dr. Pardee in Los Angeles just about the time when the political eyes of the State were turned in that direction is Jrtazaa-ded as a very peculiat coincidence. Then came the report from Los Angeles | that he had announced his candidacy. “T am not prepared to discuss politics,”™ "sald Dr. Pardee. “I have been away for six weeks and I am a little out of touch with affairs. I went away for my health, which, fortunately, I have regained. I am very glad to be home once more.” ‘When the doctor was asked about the Los Angeles announcement of his candi- dacy he replied: “I have not seen those statements and not having seen them I cannot discuss them.” In reply to a question as to whether he would or would not be a candidate for Governor the doctor said: “I will have nothing to say about what I propose to do until I have had an opportunity to get rested and look over the ground. Whether 1 will be a candidate or will not be de- pends upon many things. T simply can- not say now whether I will be a candi- date for Governor or not. Later I will i be better able to discuss politics and my | plans, if T have any.” MISSION STREET LUMBER YARD DISCOVERED ABLAZE Fire Department Officials Think Con- flagration Was the Work of an Incendiary. Fire was discovered in the lumber yard owned by Blyth & Trott on Mission street, between Steuart and Spear. last night shortly after 7 o'clock. The damage caused by the blaze amounted to but a small sum. _ | The fire was evidently of incendiary ori- | gin, as it was discovered in a pie of thoroughly dried redwood beards in a | part of the yard where the most damage would result, and where the blaze would | spread rapidiy. The first firemen to arrive had to haul heavy wagons to_the street before they | could reach the fire. 'They were helped by a number of strikers who were stand- ing near by, though tne men who ran to the aid of the firemen were hooted at by a crowd of drunken men who seemed only too willing to stand by and watch the flames spread. While the -fire was at its height Chief Sullivan administered a sound drubbing to one of the loafers who seemed to take de- light in belittling the efforts of the fire- men. The chief stood the offensive re- | marks of the fellow until the blaze had been extinguished, when he ran up to him and with a single punch dropped him on the sidewalk. The chief was ready to tackle the fellow's mates but they had no | desire to test Sullivan’s powers as a | sluzger, and shunk oft/ carrying the limp | form' of their companion with them. SoMTives e s FIRE COMMISSSIONER McKINSTRY IS VERY ILL | iz oz | Has Been Suffering for Several Weeks From Severe Attack of Typhoid Fever. Fire Commissioner James C. McKinstry has been lying dangerously ill at his | home, 2912 Pacific avenue, for the last two weeks, suffering from a severe attack of typhoid fever. For a time it was feared that a fatal result might ensue, but it was stated at his residence last night that it was thought the crisis had been passed. Dr. William N. Sullivan, who has been in attendance upon the sick man, has given his relatives hope by stating that he belleved the crisis had passed, and that if no complications ensued within _ther next day or two Mr. McKinstry could be | declared out of danger. Trained nurses are constantly in attendance upen him, and as he has always been a man of tem- perate habits it is thought his constitution will weather the trying ordeal to which he has been subjected. Mr. McKinstry is a member of the law: firm of McKinstry, Bradley & McKinstry. He succeeded David 1. Mahoney as Fire Commissioner when the latter was made, a Police Commissioner about eighteeny months ago. e —e—— Mrs. Van Bergen Loses Suit.

QUEEN VICTORIA’S HAIR. Its Profusion, at Her Age, Has Al« ways Been a Wonder. Over 80 years old, Queen Victoria yet has luxuriant hair, which has for years been a marvel. The court physician, fol- lowing Professor Unna’s discovery, has treated her Majesty's scalp with a germ destroying preparation, which he has al- w-ypzzpt secret. It is now known, how- ever, that the remedy for dandruff, the germ destroying element, is embodied in Newbro's Herpicide, the only hair prepas ration on the market that does destroy the dandruff germ. Without dandruft hair will grow profusely and falling hair will be stopped. ‘‘Destroy the cause, you re- move the effect.” l
