C. Thomas AKLAND, Sept. 21.—The engage- ment has been announced of Miss Edythe Corwin to Wendell C. Thomas. The young people have known each other for several ars, an acquaintanceship formed dur- ng their school days having given Cupid the opportunity which the merry god Love did not fail to seize, as the formal an- nouncement of to-day disclosed. Miss Corwin is a graduate of the Oakland High School and among her accomplishments possesses a marked ability in music. She is a pianist of considerable local note. Miss Corwin is a daughter of Mr. and LOCKS HERSELF I\ BOON TO DIE Poisen Ends the Life of Wearied Josephine E. Blacow. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 21. Locked in her bedroom, Mrs, Josephine E. Blacow, widow of the late Arthur Bla- ended her life with carbolic acid yesterday afternoon at her residence on the Blacow ranch, near Irvington. De- spondency because of ill health 1s the only reason the members of the family can assign for the suicidal deed, but that does not satisfactorily explain to the bereave relatives the strange and distressing act. Mrs. Blacow was a member of one of the prominent familles of Alameda County, and her death comes as a mattar of greal surprise to many who knew her. The first disclosure concerning the sui- cide was uncovered by Mrs. Blacow's Miss Emma Blacow, a teacher at_Centerville High School. The young lady returned from her day's work at a:3) o'clock. Falling to find her mother at accustomed place, preparing for the even- ing meal, Miss Blacow went outside and looked about, but could not see anything of_the object of her search. Then she went to her mother's bed- room. The door was locked from the in- side. earing’ that there was something wrong, the alarmed young woman ran across the road and summoned her uncle, Richard Blacow, whose residence was immediately opposite Mrs. Blacow's place. He hastened to the house, broke into the room and found his sister-in-law dead on the bed, an empty vial labeled carbolic acld” resting on a table at the head of the bed. The woman’s lips were badly burned from the poison. Physicians were summoned, but they could do nothing, for the despondent woman must have been dead for some time before her body was discovered. Later the family learned that the poison had been purchased by Mrs. Blacow at a Centerville drug store. The death was reported to Coroner Mehrmann, who will hold an inquest on Tuesday. The surviving members of the family are the daughters, Miss Emma Blacow and Miss Blanche Blacow, tle latter being a teacher in the Mastick School at Alameda, and a son, J. R. Bla- cow, who has of late been employed as a special clerk by the Board of Supervisors. Mrs. Blacow's deceased husband was a son of Robert Blacow, who settled in Washington township In the early '50s, where for many yvears he had a large business importing merino sheep. Want to Settle Strike. OAXLAND, Sept. 2.—The Brotherhood of Teamsters will meet Sunday night to consider the report of 4ts arbitration com- mittee, which has been appointed to settle the strike on this side of the bay. There is little doubt that the thirty-five men still on strike will return to work on Monday. The strike here was wholly sympathetic, the drivers havln%_ no grievance against their employers. The move the teamsters have made looking toward an ending of the trouble here is in large measure prompted by the action of the longshore- men two weeks ago when they refused to longer remain idle. — . Salvation Army Entertains. OAKLAND, Sept. 2L.—The local Salv: tion Army began its harvest home festi- val this evening in a canvas pavilion at | the corner of Ninth and Clay streets. The speakers were Colonel George French, Major and Mrs. Harris, Staff Captain and Mrs. Connett. After the speaking a sup- per was served. The festival will con- cluce on Tuesday evening. e Hebrews at Solemn Festival.

The next surprise in State politics may be an announcement from Governor Gage that he is not a candidate for another term. His closest friends assert that, while he has had the question of another term under comsideration, he has not authorized any one to say that his name will be presented to the Republican State Convention as a candidate for renomina- tion. It is well understood that he is anxious to elicit an expression of public opinion touching the merits and policies of his administration. His chlef supporters hold that if the ex- pression is not distinctly favorable he will slgnify a desire that his name shall not be presented to the nominating conventlon, In the light of recent comment the Goy- ernor is likely to be convinced that efforts on his part to succeed himself as Gov- ernor will surely provoke one of the bitterest struggles in the history of the Republican party of California. The office of Governor s not the only prize in_the political lottery. 'The United States Sen- atorship 18 an alluring berth, and the fact that a candidate has served as Go' ernor i« no handicap in the race. Senators Booth, Stanford and Perkins had guber- natorial honors before they were com- missioned to represent the State In the United States Senate. The Local Situation. Thomas D. Riordan, chairman af the Republican local convention, yesterduy announced:the appointment of the follow- ing committee on organization and order of business: H. G. W. Dinkelsplel, chalrman; Martin Kelly, Twenty-eighth District; Leon Samuels, Twenty- ninth; S. Bchloss, Thirtieth; James J. Mlley, Thirty-first; David F. Kenney, Thirty-second; James Boyle, Thirty-third; Raiph L. Hathorn, Thirty-fourth; Joseph Windrow, Thirty-fitth} Bugene D. Berri, Thirty-sixth; Henry Trevor, Thirty-seventh; J. J. Murry, Thirty-eighth; John A. McKenna, Thirty-ninth; H. F. Peart, Fortieth; Louls F. Beedy, Forty-second; Wil ltam Lyons, Forty-third; Thornhill, Carmany, Forty-fourth; Willlam Clarke, Forty-fifth, Chairman Riordan also announced the appointment of a committee on_electicns and qualification of delegates. The com- mittee follows: Frank French, chairman; James H. Lennon, Twenty-eighth District; Jeremiah F. Collins, Twenty-ninth; David E. ~Sheehan, Thirtieth; John ~ Campbell, Thirty-first; Joseph W. ‘Ahearn, Thirty-second; Robert Gordon, Thirty- third; A. H, Menne, Thirty-fourth; C. B. Kitch, Thirty-fifth; John B. Curtl seventh; Emmett Barrett, Thirty. Thirty-eighth; Thomas J. Morton, Thirty-ninth; Edward Kel- iy, Fortieth; 1. J. Well, Forty-first; Richard Alexander, Forty-second; James L. Copeland, Forty-third; John Christenson, Forty-fourth: James Carr, Forty-fifth. Kelly’s Motion Prevails. The incident is recalled that.the con- vention rejected the proposition for a com- mittee to pass upon the qualification of delegates. Boss Martin Kelly insisted with vigor and clearness that the list of delegates certified to by the Registrar of Voters should be the roll of the conven- tion, and the delegates by a large major- ltLvoted in favor of Kelly’s motion. ints were thrown out that bosses rep- resenting certain factions were figuring on a scheme to unseat two delegations, but the proposition seemed so raw and reck- less that the politicians treated the rumor as idle gossip. The appointment of a com. mittee to pass upon the qualification of members may signify something that is not clearly understood by the convention. A conference of politicians was held at Mose Gunst's rooms yesterday afternoon. Later in the day reports were circulated that Auditor Wells would be an active candidate for Mayor. Reports were also circulated that A. Ruef and Martin Kel- ly had the convention so tied up that .Herrin, Dibble and Lynch could not safe- iy count on the execution of a programme. e facts seem to be that the spirit of in- dependence has taken hold of a majority of the delegates. It is not a sure thing that John Lackmann will have a walk- over for Sheriff, although a bargain was | | { KING GREATES MANY KNIGHTS Edward’s Son Conducts the Ceremonial at’ Ottawa. Statue of Queen Victoria on Parliament Hill Un- veiled. OTTAWA, Ont., Sept. 2L—This was a day of pretty ceremonial in the visit to the Canadian capital of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York. It began with the investment with the decoration of their orders of the Knights created in honor of the visit of the Duke and Duchess, The great ballroom at Rideau was the scene of the investure. The scene at Rideau Ha!l when the new Knights presented themselves before the brilllantly uniformed Duke and court, with its action copled from another age, was a pictur- esque one. Sir John Anderson read the royal war- rant making the rare grant of power, and Viscount Crichton, bearln!s( the Insignla of the orders, escorted the Knights forward in groups. They kneit before the Duke, who in succession touched each upon the shoulder with his sword and commanded him to arlse. Lord Wenlock read the admonition of loyalty to the crown and thelr particular orders to them, and the Duke offered each his congratulations. After the investiture ceremony the Duke and Duchess, escorted by a detach- ment of the Royal Canadian Dragoons and attended by hig personal staff, drove through the city of Hull and then on to Parliament Hill to unvell a statue of Queen Victoria. The statue, from the design, of Philip Herbert, the French- Canadian sculptor, stands on a command- ing site on a knoll just east of the hand- some Commons building. The unveiling of the statue was immediately followed by the presentation of South African medals. L e e ol ) LURES A GIRL 10 HER DEATH Jealous Lover Commits Murder and Ends His Life.

D. Shepard. ————— The resignation of A. D. Shepard us general frelght agent of the Southern Pacific was the chlef toplc among rail- road men yesterday. All sorts of rumors were afloat as to the cause of the resig- natlon, the most general being that Shep- ard felt sifghted at the action of J. C. Stubbs in appointing C. H. Markham over him. Old officlals say that Markham was laced over Shegurd on account of the rusqe manner of the latter officlal when dealing with patrons of the road. It is sald that complaints were numeérous from merchants, who charged that Shepard was far from a Chesterfield in his manner }".'ZSL‘ they consulted him upon freight Shepard sald yesterday that his resig- nation was tendered because he was of- fered a more responsible position with the Paclfic_Improvement Company in Vie- toria, B. C. This hardly seems correct, however, as a railroad man is not going to resign a responsible position with large rallroad corporation to go with u much smaller concern unless he feels that there Is no prospect of promotion ahead of_him. J. C. Stubbs has the appointment of the next general freight agent. Who will ge: the post is not known at present. It iy exfecled that Stubbs will wire the ap- pointment in the next few days, as Sh ard’s resignation goes into effect on the 1st of October. Under the rules of civil service G. W.
