The decree was granted on the ground of desertion, and is the ending of a marriage celebrated but a little more than a year ago that attracted widespread attention. Mrs. Shaughnessy that was is the daughter of Matthew. Nunan, the million- aire brewer, and she wedded the man who has secured a divorce from her April 6 1909, under such peculiar circumstances | that, so the story goes, her father had her stolen away from the side of her hus- band a few days after the ceremony. The | alleged abduction of the young wife brought the couple into the courts. Shaughnessy said his wife would return to him if she was free from her father's control. He filed a complaint and asked | for a writ of habeas corpus to secure the | custody of his stolen bride. The bride’s father made return to the writ and denied that his daughter was re- strained of her liberty. He stated that she was in Sonoma where she | went of her own free X | Shaughnessy and his wife have never been reunited, and the husband gave up the battle yesterday. A short time after the wedding Mrs. Shaughnessy asked that the marriage | ceremeny be annulled, claiming that she hnessy under “force, fraud and duress.” She said the ceremony was | performed while she was in a state of | mental 1 ility, superinduced by | liquors and narcotics. Her husband denied the charges and said that when his wife married him she was fully in possession of her faculties. He wanted her summoned so that the court could see what a bright woman she was. He claimed that Anastasia was not the real plaintiff, and that she was coerced into and compelled to commence the ac- tion by her brother, Frank Nunan, J. J. Harrigan and Lawrence Hourihan. The last named, Shaugnnessy claimed, was a rejected suitor for the fair Anastasia’s hand and was actuated by jealousy. Mrs. Shaughnessy was not summoned, but a visit was paid to her in Sonoma, where her deposition was taken. Under vath she stated that she had been plied with liquor at the home of Mrs. Little, her husband’s mother, and kept in a state of intoxication until the ceremony had been performed. She said that when she regained her senses she left her husband and had no desire to go back to him. The annulment was not granted, but the couple have continued living apart, and the affairs of the Shaughnessys were for- gotten until the action for divorce was instituted by the lonely husband. Shaughnessy and his wife are first cousins, At the time of the marriage con- siderable comment was caused by the news of the relationship getting out. He is a boiler-maker by trade. The fact that Miss Nunan was willing to leave a lux- uriously furnished home for that of a mechanic caused a great amount of talk, which was not stilled until those who knew them tired of their marriage as a theme for gossip. NAVAL MILITIR T0 TAKE CRUIGE Philadelphia Will Their Home for a Week., Be Officers and men of the Naval Militia of California are busily engaged preparing for their cruise on the U. 8. S. Philadel- phia. They will leave Sunday morning for a hard week’s work on Uncle Sam's fighting ship. Captain Thomas A. Nerney, who com- mands the Naval Militia of the State, yes- terday received Lieutenant C. V. Otto and thirty-five men of the Fifth Division from Eureka, who arrived on the steamship Pomona. The men from the north will join with the First and Second divisions of San Francisco and will board the Phil- adelphia early Sunday morning. Captain Nerney has arranged for the purchase of all commissary supplies in San Francisco, which are furnished by | the State of California. One hundred and twenty-five enlisted men and ten officers will cruise on the Philadelphia tc Santa Barbara Channel and San Diego. At the end of the week's cruise the Naval Militia will be landed at San Francisco and the Philadelphia will then procced on a second cruise with the Third, Fourth and Sixth divisions and part of the engineer division, located in the southern part of the State. The cruise of the Naval Militia will not be a pleasure trip by any means. The of- ficers and men of the State’'s naval guard will be called upon to perform exactly the same dutles as are carried out by the of- flecrs and men of the Philadelphia. On certain days the Naval Militia will be in charge of the cruiser, and the experience thus gained will fit them for any emer- gency. Target drill with the big guns of the cruiser will form an important feature of the cruise. The officers of the Naval Militia who will leave on Sunday in addition to Cap- tain Thomas A. Nerney are: Commander George W. Bauer. Licutenant Commander George R. Kingsland, Lieutenants Charles V. Otto, Thomas S. Harloe, Frank Van Vieck, Thomas B. W. Leland and Henry P. Smith; Ensigns Edward McLaughlin, William Speck and John F. Murphy. Captain Nerney will accompany the di- visions from the southern portion of the State on the second cruise of the Phila- delphia. The officers of the militia will take equal rank with those of the cruiser, sharing their messrooms. The enlisted men of the militia will take all of their equipment and will share the quarters allotted on | the fighting shi‘) with the “jackies.” For six days the militia will be subjected to the stérn discipline tnat has brought the nation’s navy to its proud position in the fleets of the civilized world.

No doupt the passage of some 1500 reso- lutions since the adoption of the charter served to amuse the Board of Supervi- sors, but the members of the board were greatly surprised yesterday to learn that these resolutions are not effective unless signed by the Mayor. Superfor Judge Hebbard decided the matter when he dismissed two suits brought by the city against the telephone company. The suits were brought against the company in May of last year. One was for §196,000 for license taxes claimed to be due from the telephone company on the coin attachments, or nickel-in-the-slot machines. It appears that a license of $2 a quarter was imposed on nickel-in-the-slot ma- chines by an ordinance passed by the board in 18%. The ordinance covered all suck machines, and because it contained the words “other electric machines” the Supervisors concluded last year that the telephone company ought to pay $2 a quarter on each of its nickel-in-the-slot boxes. In April, 1500, an ordinance was passed imposing a license of 50 cents a quarter on each telephone instrument. Under this ordinance the second sult was brought to recover the sum of $5..0. It was under these two ordinances that the two sults against the company were begun. Tax Collector Scott employed an attorney to bring the actions, claiming that he had the right to do so under an old ordinance of the city, which gave the License Collector the right to employ an attorney to collect the delinquent licenses. E. 8. Pillsbury and Alfred Sutro, attor- neys for the telephone company, filed an answer setting up a_number of defenses, one of which showed that the license of $2 a quarter on automatic nickel-in-the- slot machines was never intended to ap- ply to the coin collecting attachments in use by the company. The attorneys ‘also showed that the company had for years paid a regular license on its telephone business. When the cases were called for trial Wednesday the attorneys for the com- pany, pursuant to a notice they had given to the attorneys for the city, made a mo- tion that both actions be dismissed on the ground that the attorneys representing the city had no authority to begin the suits. ‘The matter was fully argued Wednesday and yesterday. W. 1. Brobeck, attorney for the city, re- plied at length to the points made by the attorneys for the company. Franklin K. Lane, City and County Attorney, also par- !lclgated in the argument. The chief point of discussion turned upon the question whether or not under the charter it is necessary for the Mayor to sign a resolution of the Board of Su- pervisors as well as an ordinance. The company's attorneys contended that the resolutions authorizing _Tax Cal- lector Scott to bring these suits and in- structing City and County Attorney Lane to take chugfe of them were inoperative for want of signature by the Mayor. Judge Hebbard, after listening to argu- ment and carefilly reviewing the pro- visions of the charter, sustained this con- tention. The court held that every resolution gnssed by the Board of Supervisors must e signed by the Mayor. In accordance with this decision it dismissed the suits.

A State forestry convention for the purpose of formulating a programme for the preservation of the forests on the mountainsides of California may take the place of the annual gathering of the Californfa Water and Forest Association this year. The matter has been discussed to some extent and there are strong ad- vocates of the idea. ‘The veto by Governor Gage of the bill to create the commission asked for by the Water and Forest Assoclation and many other representative organizations of the State, to carry on the work of in- vestigating the water and forest re- sources of California, caused a suspen- sion of the work that had been done in the field in the direction indicated. For of the Legl ter and Forest Association has been set aside, but a forestry convention may be made to accomplish very good wok, say Secretary Friedlander and other prominent members of the association. Mr. Friedlander said yesterday that it has not been’ deflnitely decided whether or_not the proposed convention will be called. There is no State forestry reserve in California and the State has no power to save for the benefit of its inhabitants an indispensable means for prolonging the water supply of the mountalns —during the summer months. The denudation of the mountainsides of trees and brush per- mits the water to run off speedily and in- calculable harm is_accomplished simply bv neglect. New York State has® seen the need of protecting the watersheds on the Adirondacks, The necessity in Cal- ifornia for similar protection is more marked than in any Eastern State on ac- count of the dry season here. Much good may be accomplished by a conference of the people who are interested in forest reseérvation in California. If the conven- ion is called, Mr. Friedlander said, in- vitations will be sent out to the forestry associations and to the Sierra Club and kindred organizations to be -represented by_delegates. The California Water and Forest Asso- ciation has 6000 members and is adding to the membership by keeping represen- tatives at work in the interest of the water and forestry movement. The mill that was vetoed by Governor Gage was indo: by_ twenty-three Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade and similar organizations, by a petition of 5700 cit- izens from all countles and by the Thirty- third and Thirty-fourth State’ Legisla- tures. Rev. Dr. Shahan Lectures. The second lecture of the Catholic Uni- versity extension course will be delivered this evening at Metropolitan Temple. Rev. Dr. Shahan will be the lecturer and his su!}{ect will_be termed, “The Cathedral Builders of Europe.” RELIANCE GLUB Champion Jeffries and Joe Kennedy Will Box There. — The Labor Unions Find No Flaw in the Latter’s Standing. In an effort to help his many friends in the Reliance Athletic Club, Oakland, Champion “Jim" Jeffries stirred up op- position which appeared for a time to menace all the boxing engagements for which his representative, “Kid"” Egan, has booked him on this coast. . It all came about through his agree- ment to meet big Joe Kennedy in a spe- clal four-round bout before his fight with Rublin. Owing to Billy Delaney, his manager. living in Oakland he has pre- pared for all his big fights there, and has always had the use of the Reliance Club gymnasium. In return for the courtesies shown him he has on several occasions volunteered A his services on _exhibition nights. Following out this custom he offered to box four rounds with any one the club officials might select. They ac- cepted and named Joe Kennedy. Jeffries thought the matter was all set- tled until rumors reached him that the laboring element intended boycotting his fight with Ruhlin in this eity and his ex- hibitions throughout the State. Inquiry developed the fact that Kennedy was ac- cused of being a non-union man. Any one knowing him would not believe such a statement for a moment, and it did not take him long to clear himself of the charge. The Reliance Club officials re- ferred the matter to the Teamsters Union, and its officers gave Kennedy a clean bill of health. Walter B. Fawcett, manager of the club, has the necessary articles prepared. All that is required to clinch the matter is the signature of Kemnedy. Jeffries, to win, must stop Kennedy in four rounds. As the latter is a shifty“boxer the task allotted the champion is not a light one. The directors of the Olympic Club have arranged six special boxing bouts for next Wednesday evening. Their efforts to find an opponent for “Jimmy” Britt proved fruitless. The latter offered to give away ten pounds in weight, but all the avail- able talent declined to accept the in- evitable thrashing at his hands. The men who will box are: Ed Parker and Willlam Hagerty, 18 pounds; W. J. Leonard and Daniel Dan- ziger, 125 pounds; J. F. McCarthy and Dan Barry, 140 _pounds; Joseph Lundie and Frank McDonald, 125 pounds; Clem Mil- ward and Charles Gallivan, 168 pounds; J. J. Dukelow and Willlam Kelly, 162 pounds. SAN RAFAEL GOLFERS BUSY ON THE LINKS Several Interesting and Neovel Con- tests Have Already Beem Held or Are in Progress. The San Rafael Golf Club had a busy time during the recent holidays. On Sat- urday there was an interesting contest for trophies presented by Mr. and Mrs. George E. Starr and Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
