Mugiler Files Ac- tion for $30,000 Damages. Clara Mugler valued her whole heart at $30,000, and because it has been broken she is suing Peter Mugler and Mary Mug- ler, her father-in-law and mother-in-law, respectively, for that amount. She clatms | that the parents of her husband, Nicholas | Mugler, huve alienated his affections and caused her such mental anguish that her physical strength has given way. In the complaint filed by Mrs. Mugler yesterday she avers that she is very sensi- | tive. Because she possesses nerves is due | her present predicament, so she claims. She married Nicholas at Berkeley in January of this year. Her lot was one of peace and happiness until the parents of her hubby discovered that they did not like her. “Then,” says the broken-hearted wife, “they commenced a systematic at- tack upon his feelings and his love for me, and destroyed the love and affection he bore me.” The stematic attack” complained of has been going on, according to the com- plaint, since the first month after the arriage. Like a good wife, Mrs. Mugler borne the loss of her husband’'s ca- resses without 2 murmur until a few days @go. Then she thought it was time she asserted herself. She appealed to her per- but they gave her only icy re- nd cutting glances. Her appeals ! but added to her misery, so she thought of the courts. How she figured damages is not’ known, but Burke & Burke, her lawyers, eviden®- 1y thought they knew the value of a wom- an's heart and placed the amount at $30,- 000.

Rudolph Herold's term of office as State Harbor Commissioner will expire March 13 next. Applicants to succeed him are already numerous. It is known that Frank French, who recently found that the Thirty-sixth Assembly District was | too large for his vest pocket, would like to recefve a commission from the Gover- nor to serve the State on the Harbor While French has one eye on the water front he i eping the other one on the County Clerk’s office. He regards the chief clerkship under County Clerk- elect Mahony as already won, but he is looking for something better. Should French be commissloned to succeed Her- old, State Senator Richard J. Welch will | make a try for the Mahony. It is gossip among the politiclans that the first place under new Mayor has decided to appoint Collector J. H. Scott to the Civil vice Commission. N for the honor of represent- ing in Congress the First California Dis- tricf promises to become interesting. The politicians hardly know how to size up the readjusted First District, as the ap- portionment which goes into effect Jan- uary 1 confuses the calculations. The district embraces the following countles: Del Norte, Humboldt, Siskiyou, Trinity Tehama, Shasta, Modoc, Lassen, Plumas, | | Sierra, Nevada Placer, El Dorado, Ama- | dor, Calaveras, Alpine, and Tuolumne. It is quite a long distance from Hum- boldt County and Alpine and Mono to Mariposa, but Senator Selvage believes he can make a good race for Congress over the territory. He finds good training quarters in San Francisco, where oppor- tunity is presented to meet in a neutral zone Harold T. Power and Jacob H. Neft of Placer, E. C. Voorheis of Amador, E. B. Edson of Siskiyou and other leading men of the First District. The old re- liable Republican counties of Napa and Marin have been taken from the TFirst end placed in the Second District. DEPARTMENT COMMANDER RETURNS FROM THE EAST Site for One of Four Great Army Posts to Be Located if California. Major General Young has returned from Washington, where he has been serving on a board of officers appointed by the Secretary of War to make recom- mendations for the enlargement of some of the military posts, the abandonment of others and the ablishment of new ones. He resumed command of the de- yesterday morning, relieving Colonel Rawles, who has fulfilled the du- ties of the position during the absence of the general. . Four permanent posts are to be select- ed in the United States, where large bodies of troops may be drilled. Consid- erable influence has been exerted to have one of these located in California. Los Angeles and Santa Cruz have both been mentioned as suited to the requirements of the War Department, and it is prob- able that one of these cities will be chosen. General Randal, commander of the De- partment of Columbia, and General Koke will confer with General Young and rec- ommend a site somewhere within the lim- its of the State at least. The work of the board is secret and the public will Mono, Mariposa | not be informed of the result of investi- | gations until official action is taken at the next meeting of the board some time in January. ARSI i Despondent Man Commits Suicide. John J. Craven, a collector, 73 years old, committed sulcide last Friday night in his room at 311 Jessie street by swallow- ing carbolic acid. Craven had been af- flicted for a long tirhe with catarrh, bron- chitis and rheumatism, and he becamse very despondent. He was found dead yvesterday forenoon by a fellow roomer. The body was taken to the Morgue and an inquest will be held. Mrs. Anna L. Hadsell, the landlady, informed the Cor- oner's deputies that Craven told her last night that he intended to kill himself by taking carbolic acid, adding that it was a very hard thing to do. —_———— Southern Pacific Company Censured. Coroner Leland held an inquest yester- day on the body of Hugh Golden, a la- borer, who was killed on December 14 while working at a raflroad turntable in the raiiroad yards at Fourth and Town- send streets. Golden was only 29 vears old and resided at 415% Eleventh street. The jury returned a verdict as follows: “Colden’s death was caused by accident, and we censure the Southern Pacific Com- pany for not having employed a regular crew for operating the turntable whereon the deceased met his death, and exonerate the engineer and fireman from all blame.” —_——— Beautiful Children—See Calffornia types in Wasp's Christmas number, Cosmopolitan Cali- fornia fllustrated. . | | & LAWYERS TALK AND THEN DINE California State Bar As- sociation Finishes Its Work. D. M. Delmas Delivers a Fine Address on an Economic Subject. The California State Bar Association is now fairly launched. The days of its travail are over and the work of organi- zation will now give way to earnest labor on legal problems that confront the law- yvers and the jurists in their every-day work. During the morning session of the asso- ciation convention yesterday the assem- bled attorneys listened to reports fron. special committees in the maple room ot the Palace. In the afternoon in the Su- preme Court chambers addresses were de livered by Frank N. Short of Fresno ana D. M. Delmas. Then came the banquet in the evening at the California Hotel and the final adjournment until next year's convention. Delmas' address was the feature of the day’s proceedin| To a crowded court- room he reviews the struggles between labor and capital, analyzed the natural antipathies brought out in the conflict and ended in a fine rhetorical passage, suggesting justice as the remedy, to cron the reconciliation of the two. “Justice as a Factor in Economical Problems” was his subject. Running through his discourse was the theme of justice. So effective was the address upon the audlence that the assoclation resolved to have printed 100,000 copies, which will be distributed throughout the State. Committee Suggestions. At the beginning of the morning ses- sion Van R. Paterson of the judiciary committee reported on a plan to relieve the congestion of business in the Supreme Court. He sald he had been in consulta- tion with Chief Justice Beatty and he thought his suggestion was the best. This was for the establishment of three appel- late courts in different cities of the State —one in Los Angeles, one in San Jose and one in this city. A committee of seven will be appointed to devise such means as may be practicable and feasible for the relief of the Supreme Court. The Superior Judges and District Attos neys throughout the State were appoint- cd a committee on extension. The committee on legal education ad- vised a plan of qualification and admis- sion to the bar. It was suggested that a commission of three be appointed by the Supreme Court to give both written and oral examinations to applicants. Frank N. Short’s address was an urgent call for help on the part of every lawyer in the State to better legal conditions. Delmas’ Stirring Address. Mr. Short was succeeded by D. M. Del- mas. It was the peroration of Delmas’ speech that roused the audience. It is as follows: Side by slde with the work of education shall that of religion proceed. Unmistakable indi- cations seem to leave no room to doubt that if the church—Protestant or Catholic—wouid re- tain its position as a controlling factor in shaping the actions of men, it must place | in tha forefront of that longing for economic Justico which 1s now so powerrully agitating the masses, They mistake the temper of the times, they fail to rate at its proper value the intellectual deveiopment brought about by universal education, who fancy that the minds of the multitude can long continue to be cn- tertained, or the vearning of their hearts Le satisfied, with theological disquisitions about controverted dogmas, or the pageants of cere- menial worship, The people will no longer belleve that the paramount function of religion is to prepare mea for the life to come. They will insist that its office i3 to help them to right living in the life this side the grave. The downtrodden and the cppressed will refuse assent to the doc- trine that to bear wrongs without a murmur is meritorious in the sight of God, or that the sufferings of this life constitute the surest title to everlasting joy in heaven. The twentleth century will cast aside these doctrines as the false teachings of a past age—an age when the church derived its support from the favors of & triumphant militancy, taught the divine right of kings to reign, and, on condition of becoming @ partaker in their rule, helped princes to keep their peoples in subjection by inculcating the doctrine of submission to au- thority—an age when, to borrow the language of England’s illustrious historian, *‘the most slavish theory that has ever been known among men prevailed,” and when ‘mo breach of law or contract, no excess of cruelty, rapacity or licentiousness on the part of & rightful king could justify his people in withstanding him by force.” Once more, as in the days of the Apostles 4nd the martyrs, the true nature of Chris mission upon earth shall stand revealed. On: more his teachings, disentangled from the e cumbering casulstry of schoolmen and the subtleties of theologians, shall be understood in their true and sublime simplicity. Once more his gospel shall be known to be the gospel of humanity, his kingdom the ~brotherhood of man, and his rule the sway of cternal justice. And so, through the enlightenment of the intellect and the purification of the heart, shall justice be established among the peoplas of the earth. And £o peace shall be proclaimed between the contending hosts of capital and la- bor on' that day wheh, not only upn the frieze of the courthouse in the valley of Santa Clara, but over the entrance of every &chcol college and university, and above the portal of every chapel, church and cathedral. shall be inscribed the sanctifying words Justitiae Ded- icata, and when, even thus, by a_common and universal fmpulse of mind and of heart, of rea- son and of sentiment, the abodes of law, edu- cation and religion shall all be equally devoted, icated, consecrated to Justice, TEXAS REPRESENTATIVE IN DAWSON IS OUSTED Governor Sayres Revokes the Coom- mission Issued to Dr, Willis E. Everett. TACOMA, Dec. 21—Late in Novem- ber the acting American Consul in Dawson received a proclamation from Governor Joseph D. Sayres of Texas re- voking a commission previously issued to Dr. Willis E. Everett to act as Commis- sioner of Deeds for Texas in the Yukon territory. Governor Sayres’ letter and proclamation stated that evidence on file in his office disclosed that Everett was not a proper person to hold such office or (o perform the duties imposed on him by reason of his appointment. In defending himselt Dr. Everett says that Governor Sayres’ letter of instruc- tions was ambiguous, and that under date of September 10 he wrote to the Governor that he would cease to act further unti! the vague sections of his instructions were construed by the Texas executive. Everett was formerly Commissioner of Deeds in Dawson for Alaska and Califor- nia. He went to Dawson from Tacoma in 1895, having formerly conducted here the largest assaying business in the Northwest. Chinese Plot to Evade Exclusion. PORT TOWNSEND, Deec. 21.—Informa- tion received here by members of the local Chinese colony is to the effect that a large number of stock companies are being organized in the southern provinces of China, with capitals of $1,000,000 and upward, and stock to the amount of $500 will be issued to Chinese coming to America, so that they can show upon be- g examined by the customs officials at the port of entry that they belong to the exempt class, or merchants. This action is sald to be the result of the agitation for a more stringent exclusion law at the expiration of the present law next May. Killed by a Trolley Car. PORTLAND, Or.,, Dec. 21.—Charles M. Myers, superintendent of the City Park, was run over and killed by a trolley car in Upper Albina to-day. He was driving across the streetcar track In a buggy when his horses started to run away, throwing Myers on the track in front of a car. The fall stunned him and the rapidly moving car ran over his body. SQUALL UPSETS AMATEOR SAILOR Harvey Darneal Jr. Nar- rowly Escapes Being Drowned. Chief Officer of the Tiburon Saves Canoeist From an Untimely Death. Harvey “Darneal Jr., & member of the Alameda Canoe Club, had a rar- row escape from death yesterday. Ile was out for a sall with his baby fore and main sails set and was rushing along at a great gait when the Tiburon hove in sight. Captain White saw a squall coming and sounded a warning whistle, but the canoeist only waveéd a handker- ckief and laughed. Suddenly the squall struck the small craft and as both sails were fast over she went In an instant. The Tiburon was at once put about and after half an hour’s hard work both cance and canoeist got aboard. The latter was treated to a hot drink and sent to the engine room to dry out. Had it not been for Chief Officer A. Paulson of the Tiburon the man in the water would probably have lost his life. He let go his hold on the canoce and was going down when Paulson jumped over- board and held him up until assistance cam Darneal s a son of Hervey Darneal, official stenographer in the Alameda County Superior Court, residing at 903 Grand street, Alameda. Young Darneal sald last night: “I had bought the canoe at Tiburon to-day and started to sail the boat back to Alameda. There was a sliding seat attachment with which I was not familiar. In making a tack the canoe capsized. I had it almost righted when the steamer’s boat picked me up.” Darneal s 'an expert canoeist. He is a member of the Alameda Boating Club and the Encinal Yacht Club and ranks as one of the best amateur boatmen on the bay. The Darneals are among the leading families of Alameda. SPURIOUS MASONS' LODGES IN THE EASTERN STATES Seceders From the Craft Do Not Disturb Fraternity of This Community. The fact that certain individuals who were once Masons of lodges in Ohio with- drew from the craft because dissatisfied with certain rulings and organized what they term lodges of Masons in that State and in New York State does not disturb the Masonic fraternity of this community. There is but one Masonic fraternity, and under the law of that order -there can be but one. It does not matter how many so-called Masonic lodges may be organ- ized without the consent of the head of the order, they are not lodges of Free and Accepted Masons. One of the charges delivered to the worshipful master of every Masonic lodge Is that he promises that he will not recognize any lodge or body of men who are not working under a charter granted by the proper authoritles. Any lodge that is organized without the charter of the true fraternity is recognized as a spurious institution and none of its mem- bers can affiliate with or enter any Ma- sonic lodgeroom. Therefore those individ- uals who have joined the new organiza- tions of self-styled Masons are only such in name, but not in fact. So far as Ma- sonry is concerned, while they may be working along the lines of Masonry, they will never be recognized by any Masonic body. - Grand Master Wells of the jurisdiction of California is of the opinfon that the movement will not amount to anything for the reason that those who are inter- ested i1 it have not a charter nor can they obtain one. It was the opinfon of a number of prom- inent Masons in this city yesterday that when those who have been induced to join the spurious lodges realize that they are not Masons and will not be recog- nized as such they will drop out and cease to be members of an organization that bas no standing in the fraternal ‘world. —————— SEVERAL RINGS FOUND IN THEIR POSSESSION Harry Howard and Edward Larkin Arrested on Suspicion That They Are Thieves. Harry Howard and Edward Larkin were arrested by Policemen Driscoll and Juel in a vacant lot on Turk street, between Mason and Taylor, early vesterday morn- ing, as they were acting in a suspicious manner. They were taken to the City Prison, and when Larkin was searched cight rings were found in his pockets. One had a redstone and the others were riain gold rings. Howard had a plain gold ring in his pocket. They were locked up in the “tanks” pending an investigation and the proba- ble discovery of the owners of the rings. While Driscoll was arresting Howard ho was observed to throw something away and after the officers returned from the City Prison they made a search of the vacant lot and found a revolver, evidently the article thrown away by Howard. —_————— Drug Clerks Elect Officers.
