Miller, DAVIES DESERT: H5 CHLD WIF }Ra.ilroad Man Refuses ‘ to Maintain His Little One. | Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 30. “A man who would marry a mere school- girl and then desert her and her child has no right to live,” exclaimed Mrs. B. J. Jerome this morning in Judge Hall's court while on the witness stand testify- ing in behalf of her daughter, Mrs. Caro- line Davies, who was seeking a divorce from Willlam Davies, an employe of the Southern Pacific Company. Mrs. Jerome sald that Davies married her daughter six years ago. He was a | good husband for awhile, she sald, but after the baby was born he began to exhibit his temper on occasions. Little things made him angry and he did not | hesitate to chastise his schoolgirl wife with the palm of his hand and even some- times to attack his mother-in-law. Final- ly the young husband left his wife to get along the best she could, refusing to share any of his stipend wlth his wite and child. In her own behalf Mrs. Davies corrob- | orated her mother's testimony and sald that she thought if she had $15 a month she could, with her mother's assistance, care for herself and child. Judge Hall " ascertajned that her husband was getting $45 a month at his work ang besides grant- ing her the divorce and the child’'s cus- | tody ordered Davies to pay $15 on the first of every month.

Slippery and the Brakss Did Not Operate Quickly. —_—— ALAMEDA, Nov. 30.—In the heavy fog which enveloped the city this evening and retarded local traffic, the through train from San Jose crashed into the rear end of a local train on the narrow gauge at ‘Webster-street station at 5:30 o'clock. The 8an Jose train was moving slowly at the time, otherwise there might have been a serious accldent and perhaps loss of life. As it was the rear platform of the last car on the local train, which was at a standstill, was _mucked and the car considerably damaged. There were but a few persons In the car when the col- lislon occurred, as the travel on the local train going toward thLe pier at that time is always very light. The 8an Jose train had followed the local train from Park-street station. Be- cause of the dense fog a sharp lookout was kept by the engineer and fireman, as the trains were never more than a few hundred yards apart. When the local stopped at Webster-street the San Jose through train was near Encinal station. There is a heavy downward grade from Encinal station to Webster-street station and the rails being wet and slippery the brakes on the San Jose traln did not operate quickly enough to prevent it from striking the last car on the local train. There was but little delay caused by the collision and both trains proceeded to the pler. LOCAL TRAIN STRIKES WAGON IN THE FOG Collision on Seventh Street That Re- sulted Luckily Because of Car’s Slow Speed. OAKLAND, Nov. 30.—During the dense fog to-night Thomas Golden, a teamster for Olson & Co., grocers, was struck by the westbound 6 o'clock local train while he was driving across Seventh street at Allce. Golden was thrown twenty feet into the street. His horse was pitched into a sewer trench, but the wagon was uninjured. Neither the man nor the horse was hurt, except for slight bruises. The train was moving at less than half speed when the collision occurred. } Reports Against Damage Claim. QAKLAND, Nov. 30.—City Attorney Johnson h: reported against the claim of Mrs. M Conroy, who demands $2500 for injuries she asserts she sustained by the falling of a city electric pole against her residence, 1012 Third street. Mrs. Conroy declares she was sitting at a win- | dow when the pole fell and was pros- trated by the shock. The City Attorney reports that in his opinion the claimant’s condition is not due to the accident. e Hillman Reconveys Property. OAKLAND, Nov. 30.~R. R.

N. Elliott of San Fran- | clsco has caused quite a ripple of | interest not only in society, but in the | musical world. Miss Carroll is one of the best-known singers on either side of the | bay, being possessed of a rich contralto | voice of rare depth and quality and hav- | ing been a soloist in several choirs both | here and in San Francisco. It s only | a few months since Miss Carroll returned | from a prolonged sojourn in New York, | where she studied voice culture with a | noted instructor. Miss Carroll comes of | a musical family, her sister being the | well-known soprano, Mrs. Carroll-Nichol- | son. Miss Mae Carroll, a clever planist of Sacramento, is also a relative.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 30. John J. Hollywood, a member of Com- pany D, Eleventh United States Infantry, in the Philippines, has written to Andrew J. Hollywood, deputy customs collector in this city, concerning conditions in the | islands as bearing upon the installation of American schoolteachers there. His letter is as follows: { “I have learned that there are quite a | number of American schoolteachers | coming to the Philippines to teach the | natives the American idea of things in | general. I think that they are a little ‘previous,’ to use a slang phrase; that is, I do not think that affalrs are settled sufficiently for the purpose for which | they are coming over here.

They will for a tims have to subsist upon such articles as the post commissary can furnish them, and | live In a ‘nipa’ shack until time and the civil authorities better their condition.” JUNIOR PROMENADE ENDS IN DARKNESS Failure of Electricity Causes Students to Dance Closing Numbers by Candle Light. BERKELEY, Nov. 80.—The students at the junfor promenade, held in Harmon gymnasium, danced the closing numbers by candle light in the early hours this | morning, all on account of a sudden leak- age in a boller in tha Mechanics bullding on the university grounds. This leakage stopped the generation of clectricity for the lights in the gymnasium and darkness reigned until candles were produced. The musiclans had a few candles with them, evidently having had previous ex- periences in that line, and these were placed at wide intervals about the big building. Dancing was then resumed and the programme completed. The lights were dim during most of the dances, but faint candle light was mofe than most of them bargained’ for. They proved, how- ever, to be equal to the emergency, for none left the last numbers undanced. Owing to the darkn in the dressing- rooms, consider: Moulty was expe- rienced among the young ladies in secur- ing proper wraps, and this morning found many changes of wearing apparel among them. ‘‘Nonse!

' ° S R Two Men Near Scene of Acci~ dent Refuse to Render Aid. —— BERKELEY, Nov. 30.—Harry Fortler, a 16-year-old boy whose home was at 215 Bancroft way, accidentally shot himself in the leg this morning, while hunting on the Berkeley hills, dying a few hours later from loss of blood and shock. Al= though conscious until within twenty minutes of his death the only lntelu‘!bl. statement was, “Scott didn’t do it,” made to exonerate his companion, Scott Inl.-, from all blame. The shooting was the result of urel.u- playfulness on the part of the boys. ‘When near the upper reservoir on the hills they commenced good natured scuf- fiing and as Mills started to climb a fence young Fortier poked him with the butt of his shotgun. In some manner the shell was exploded and the entire charge of shot passed through the inside of For- tier's left thigh just below the groin, tearing out a hole an inch in dlameter and breaking the femoral artery. Mills ran to the house of Bruno Cordo, ‘the keeper of the reservoir, for assistance and Mrs. Cordo came to the side of the | Injured. lad, but could do nothing for him. Two cruelly" indifferent men working in a fleld near by refused their ald, declar- ing that they were not able to leave their work. Mills did not know the men and his appeals for help were without avail. As he turned back to his wounded com- rade, Charles Sleeper, a boy of 18, reached the spot and taking Mrs. Cordo's. cart drove to this city, a distance of two miles, for help. Sleeper got L. M. Hale, Fortler's broth- er-in-law, who, with Fred Foss, secured a wagon and drove to the scene of the shooting. The boy was then taken to D H. N. Rowell's office, where he was at- tended. The accident occurred at about 8 o'clock and it was over two hours' later before young Fortier got medical attend- ance. He had virtually bled to death be- fore he reached Dr. Rowell's office and he rapidly sank until at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon the end came. The Mills boy is only 14 years of ags | and was badly frightened by the catas- trophe. As his back was turned to For- tier he did not see the shot and is unable to explain how the shell was exploded. He felt Fortier strike him with the butt of his gun and an Instant later the shot came and Fortler fell screaming to the ground. 8. M. Fortier, father of the dead lad, is in the Government employ at the navy yard in Vallejo. He was summoned by telegraph, but did not arrive until twen- ty minutes after his son had passed away. The members of the family are prostrated over the accident. Deputy Coroner J. E.

Judge Ellsworth partially heard the suit to-day recently brought against the Merritt children to determine their rights to property formerly embraced "in the | Knowles trust. Mrs. Frances D.
