Pleads Poverty in Answer to Her Suit Asking for Alimony. William F. Hopkins, in an afidavit filed in Judge Sloss' court yesterday, swore that his wife, who is seeking an order of court compelling him to pay her $i00 a month alimony pending a decision in the divorce proceedings brought by her, is making his life miserable by instituting all sorts of legal proceedings against him. He disclaims being the possessor of un- told riches, and says he is perfectly will- ing to abide by any court order. Hopkins has been in court many times since the institution of a suit for divorce | by Mrs. Hopkins in Alameda County last year. She charged him with treating her cruelly. The case was transferred from Alameda to this county and came up for | trial before Judge Graham last October. Owing to the prominent social position occupied by Hopkins and his reputed wealth the trial attracted great atten- tion. For several days Hopkins and his wife alternated on the witness stand, tell- ing merry tales of their life at Highland Springs, where they first met and where they went subsequently on a visit. The case was finally submitted, though not until Mrs. Hopkins had obtained an | order of court directing her husband to give her $250 to defray the cost of the trial and to pay her $100 4 month alimony. Mrs. Hopkins also received $150 to enable her to obtain the depositions of a number of witnesses who _could not attend the trial but who were familiar with the doings of Hopkins. Subgequently Judge Graham ordéred € to return her husband $400 as counsel fees and costs of depositions, as Hopkins proved that she had not used the money for which it was intended. Mrs. Hop kins did not obey the order, and more trouble resulted. Hopkins then discon- tinued the payment of alimony, and his wife instituted a suit to compel him to do 0. The affidavit filed by Hopkins yesterday is a plea of poverty and a cry against his wife's fondness for legal batties. Hopkins says: 1 own nothing but a horse and cart and a few eporting implements, such as a gun and fishing outfit. 1 get a salary of $325 a month as an officer*of the Hopkins Investment Company, but as I owe $18,000 1 have to pay a large sum of interest every month.

NIETO DELIVERS | INTERESTING LECTURE :Spanks to Cuné;egation on “Strangers and Foreigners” of the Long Past. {. The Rev. Dr. Nieto delivered a lecture last evening at the Congregation Sheritn | Israel on the subject of *‘Strangers and | Foreigners.” 1In the course of his re- lmal"lflu& the doctor showed the prejudice | that existed in years gone by toward the | “Stranger” and the “Foreigner,” but in those times the word ‘‘stranger’” meant | something very different to what it stood for to-day. It stood for something hos- | tile, for a person who was unfriendly, not that he was so, but being a ‘‘stranger’” | and a ‘“foreigner” unknown to the popu- {lace, for in those days there was no | means of communication and persons of different_countries knew not each other, it was only natural that they would look with doubt and suspicion upon the ‘“‘for- elgner.” The Jew going from place to place, country to country, arrived as a ‘‘strang- er’—a ‘“foreigner’—and that was the commencement of the doubt and the sus- picion with which he was regarded. Not only the Jew, but all others who came into the town unheralded and unknown had to suffer the same stigmas and in- conveniences, doubts and discomforts and charges and vilifications. Rabbi Voorsanger did not deliver his promised lecture last evening, ‘“What Ctvilization Has Done for the Scripture,” owing to the small attendance at the Congregation Emanu-El. The rabbi prom- jsed, however, to discuss the topic next Friday evening. —_— Arrested for Burglary. George W. Watking was arrested by Policeman A. C. Winzler yesterday morn- ing and charged at the Hall of Justice with burglary and carrying concealed weapons, Watkins was found in the rooms of Dr. H. C. Daher, at 224 Kearny street, and could give no reasonable ex* cuse for his presence. The officer was called to arrest Watkins and on search- ing him found a loaded pistol. pili pmdie s Opened Telephone Boxes. John L. Hurley, a barber, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Ryan and O'Dea and charged with opening a number of telephone boxes and stealing the contents. A bunch of skeleton keys of the finest kind was found in his possession. e — NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A CLEANLY AGE. Twentieth Century Ideas Incline Toward Sanitation and Preventives. Nowadays scientists belleve that in cleanliness lies the secret of prevention of diseases. To prevent a disease, remove the cause. Just as unclean habits breed many d eases, so careless habits will breed dan- druff. Improper use of another's brushes, combs, ete., will surely cause dandruff, and in time will just as surely cause baldness. It’s microbic infection, nothing more nor less. Newbro’'s Herpicide kills the dandruff erm, and causes hair to grow luxuriant- y. -Herpicide -is absolutely free from grease or other injuricus substances. TURED BY THE POLICE. > land, September 3, 1884, by Justice of the Jeace J. B. Cronin. The latest deed is of the date of January J, 192, and recites that in_consideration of $3000 paid her by J. H. McDonough, Mrs. Mary Badger, formerly Mrs. McCormick, deeded to Mc- Donough a plece of property in the town of San Rafael. Another clipping states that Meyers or McDonough, as he was then called, con- ducted a saloon in Sacramento, Cal., in 1893, and that at the time of the World's Fair he kept a saloon in_Chicago. Frank Woods, alias Fred Grey, allas Willlam Hastings, has been under sur- veillance for a long time by Secret Serv- ice Agents Hazen, Moffitt and Foster. He has a bad criminal record. On June 2, 1896, he was arrested for a burglary com- mitted in Oakland and was sentenced to three vears’ imprisonment in the peniten- tiary at Folsom. He was released on De- cember 1, 1898, and was arrested as Fred Gray on September 18, 1899, for being in possession of molds and other tools for the manufacture of counterfeit money. He and_his partner, George Horton, were tried in the United States District' Court and acquitted. they having sworn that the trunk found in their room did not belong to them. He was again arrested as Fred Gray on February 13, 1901, in this city for Tobbery. but escaped conviction. The police believe Gray is responsible for several daring hold-ups committed in this city during the past few weeks. MISS CHAMBERLAIN GIVES SECOND PIANO RECITAL Critical Audience Applauds Her Ren- dition of Many Difficult and Elaborate Compositions. . Miss Belle Claire Chamberlain gave last night the second of her plano recitals since her recent return‘ from Europe. Many of her friends in Oakland were de- terred from crossing the bay on account of the inclemency of the weather, but a large number of city people braved the elements and were rewarded by the per- fect rendition of a well selected pro- ramme. Sherman-Clay Hall was there- ‘ore comfortably filled. “What the audi- ence lacked in numbers it made up in en- thusiasm and nearly every selection was grected with applause. . Miss €hamberlain’s programme was as follow: () Pastorale, (b) Gapricclo (ScarlattiyTau- sig); (c) Sonata, op. ¥7 (Beethoven); (a) Mur. muring Zephyrs (Jensen); (b) Grillen (Whims) (Schumann); (c) Nocturne, op. 15, (d) Prelude, op. 28, (e) Fantasie, op. 49 (Chopin); (a) Rondo Capriceiogo, (b) Auf Flugeln des Ganges (Men- delssohn); ' (¢) Ungeduld (Moszkowski); (d) M Fire Scene (Wagner-Brassin); (e) Hun- garian Rhapsody, No. 12 (Lisat). Miss Chamberlain has under earnest consideration a request from her friends for a third recital. HOME-SEEKERS’ RATE MAY BE TRIED AGAIN E. 0. McCormick Applies to Tfans- continental Passenger Association to Sanction the Scheme. California may have cheaper railroad rates from the Bast this spring than ever before. E. 0. McCormick tele- graphed the Southern Pacific officials in this city vesterday that he had requested the Transcontinental Passenger Associa- tion to allow a ‘‘home-seekers’ ” rate to California during the months of March and April. This rate is different from the colonist rate in that it is good both ways, while the colonist rate only applies to those coming to California. The home-seckers’ rate will if allowed be in effect on the first and third Tuesdays of the month and with it a special rate on second class tickets. The home-seekers’ rate was fixed by the Southern Pacific during the months of July and August of last year and proved a great success. —_——— Favors Conciliatory Policy. .

From a historical con- slderation of the differences that have ex- isted for centuries between the Jew and the gentile the speaker devalng:d the idey that these differences could adjusted when both sides had considered the causes leading up to them. The devotion of the Jem to !zhélh- lncll:nt faith was, in the on of the speaker, as potent a ca :’: any in producing race hatred. oy —————— 0ld Offendcr Arrested. John Stafford was arrested last night by Policemen Cassidy and McQuade and charged at the Southern station with car- rying burglar's tools. The officers met ord at New Montgomery and Nato- ma streets and noticed that he had some- thing concealed under his coat. They searched him and found a burglar's jim- my.

WHEREAS, The Mayor and Board of Supervisors of this city and county bave accepted the resignation of E ‘W. Williams, clerk of the Justices’ Court; and ‘Whereas, His Honor the Mayor, con- tending that he is the appointing power, has appointed Powel Fredrick to the position formerly held by Mr. ‘Williams; therefore be it Resolved, That while this board re- fuses to commit itself on the right of the Mayor to appoint, we nevertheless approve his action placing Mr. Fred- rick in this position pending action by the proper legal authorities. The above resolution, adopted in special meeting yesterday, represents the final results attained by the Supervisors in their efforts to untangle the snarl in the cierk’s office of the Justices’ Court. The Supervisors by a decisive vote rejected the nomination of Joseph Windrow, pre- sented by the Justices, and in conse- quence Windrow’s claim to the office has no longer a leg to stand on. The board also_ratified the Mayor’s acceptance of Ed Willlams’ resignation. The resolution given above was intended to express the | moral support extended to the Mayor by the Supervisors without committing themselves to a possibly illegal course by recognizing the Mayor’s right to fill the vacancy. The aduguon of the resolution after two hours’ debate on various phases of the | question was a victory for the Mayor and Clerk Fredrick, and was won only after a resolution confirming in direct terms Fredrick’s appointment was snowed under by a large negative vote. Dominated by Political Boss. ‘The Mayor took occasion to express his cpinion of the attitude of the Justices, end he did. it in plain words and with voice shaken by the strength of his feel- ings. He sald: This unfortunate situation is not due to any action of mine. It is du2 to the fact that there is too much poli- tics in the affairs of the municipality. I1f I thought the Justices were acting in good faith I would recognize theiz nomination, but I am convinced that they were not, and that in meeting at midnight and in a hotel, away from their courtrooms or chambers, and naming a man simply because he belonged to a certain political organ- ization, they were not acting in good faith, but were simply being domina- ted by a certain political boss. There was a deep silence for a moment, and then Justice of the Peace Dunn arose and said: “1 want to reply to the Mayor’'s remarks characterizing that part referring to demination by a political boss as abso- lutely untrue so far as I am concerned and an insult.” That was the end of the incident. Once, earlier in the session, Mayor Schmitz had referred withisome bitterness to the mid- pight meeting of the Justices as being “not in_the interests of justice.” The Supervisors under Brandenstein's lead proceeded very cautiously in order to remove some of the complications. First, they approved the Mayor's accept— ance ‘of Williams’ resignation. Then to make assurance doubly sure they them- selves accepted his resignation. Supervisor Eggers, who developed into the especlal and eager champlon of the Justices, moved that Windrow's nomina- | tion be approved. The motion was de- | feated by the following vote, 5 aye. 13 noes: Ayes—Alpers, Bent, Boxton, Eggers, Sander- son, Noes—Booth, _ Brandenstein, Comte, Connor, Curtis, D'Ancona, Loughery, Lynch, McClelian, Payot, Wiison, Wynn. Supervisor Wynn's resolution approving the-appointment of Powel Fredrick was debated at length. Brandenstein objected strenuously to such procedure. He sald tkat all inwyers practically and the courts recognized the office to be a State office and_held that the Mayor had no power to fill the vacancy. He contended further that in any case, whether the Mayor had the right to appoint or not, there was no warrant either in the char- ter or the code for action by the Super- visors upon the Mayor’s appointment. In the course of the debate Abe Ruef was given permission to address the Dboard and he made a brief argument in support of the contention that the Mayor was acting within his power when he filled the vacancy. He said Judge Cook had recognized Fredrick as the de facto clerk. Cook’s Decision in Question. Supervisor Brandenstein sald that Judge Cook had told him that he did not &5 decide, but had simply held that since Windrow was not de jure clerk and no danger existing of a second payment of the salary Quinn's prayer for absolute injunction must be denied. Ruef replied that whatever explana- tions may have been made Judge Cook's written decision did hold that Fredrick was de facto clerk. In this connection the following sentence from Judge Cook’'s de- cisfon may be quoted as throwing light on the question: Under these circumstances, whether the Mayor had or had not the power to make a temporary appointment, pending the action of the Board of Supervisors, Mr. Frederick, in my opinion, must be held, at the present time, to be @ de facto officer. Supervisor Comte said he was a mem- ber pof the Board of Freeholders that drew up the charter, and he for one would not be satisfled with court rulings declaring sections invalid until the Su- preme Court had passed upon the sections in_question. Braunhart said he refused to accept a Superior Judge's ruling that the Sufer- visors must accept the Justices' nomina- tion, and that he would rot in jail before he would obey a mandate forcing him to Vote aye or no on any proposition. The Wynn resolution was defeated, only Comte, Loughery, Lynch, McClellan, Payot and Wynn voting for it. Braunhart wanted to give the Mayor nioral support by extending a vote of thanks for his Inve!uf\don of the office of the Justices’ clerk, but Mayor Schmitz said he asked for no thanks for doing his duty. After much discussion the resolu- ticn given above was mmm and fur- ther action deferred, pending other de- cisicns by the courts. The Grand Jury sent a communication to Justices’ Clerk Fredrick yesterday noti- fying him that ‘Westerfeld has been appointed as expert for the inquisi- torial body to expert the books counts of the Justices’ Clerk's office. Westerfeld will begin his duties next Monday.

Despite the heavy downpour of rain at the hour set for the funeral, all the members of the faculty and the students of Cooper Medi- cal College were present and testified to the college. At noon the classes formed at the col- lege and proceeded to the late residence of the deceased. As they were admitted in the order of seniority they passed fin was almost hidden in a mass of floral tributes. After the departure of the stu- dents the formal services were held in the parlors of the residence. Rev. Joseph Worcester, pastor of the Second New Jerusalem 'wedenborgian Church, conducted the services. - A few of the late doctor’s most intimate friends, the faculty of the college and the follow- ing class presidents and representatives were in attendance: Seniors—F. C. Pache (president), H. W. Gibbons, W. F. Blake; juniors—F. L. Doane (president), H. L. Ross, F. H. Koepke; sophomores—W. W. Tourtillot (president), C. O. Moore, H. J. Craycroft; freshmen—Frederick Leach (president), H. L. Roberts, X. de Danato. The four class presidents and four stu- | dents acted as pallbearers. As the cortege left the residence the route was taken from Clay street along Webster, passing the Lape Hospital and Cooper Medical College. On the sidewalk immediately in front of the buildings the students stood with bared heads. The somber drapings of the buildings added greatly to the impressiveness of the scene. The cortege continued on its way to Odd Fellows' Cemetery, where the body will be cremated. On Sunday afternoon, March 2, special memorial services will' be held In the auditerium of Cooper College, where the urn containing the ashes of Dr. Lane will lLe placed. A committee of the faculty, consisting of Drs. Ellinwood, Gibbons, Stillman and Rixford, has charge of the arrangements. The{ will be assisted by a committee from the student body.

There is no change in the situation as regards the Market-street Railway deal. James M.

Duane said last even- ing that the transfer would be made March 28 without fail. In faet, to use his own words, “It must go through.” He says that when the original agreement was drawn up_it was definitely under- stood that the Baltimore syndicate would have the privilege of extending the time or making the purchase thirty days, should it be so_desired.

Hellman when seen yesterday said: I am sure that the Baltimore syndicate will complete the purchase. Mr. Duane has just left me and I amscertain that company has all the capital necessary. The syndicate is simply deferring the purchase until it has completed other business arrangements in this city.” “Will the syndicate be allowed another extension after March 287" was asked. “No. If it does not complete the pur- chase on or before March 28 we will de- clare the deposit money forfeited.” It is generally understood that Purchas- ing Agent Schwerin and the ‘railroad physicians will be the only officials re- tained by the syndicate.

She was subject to nervous spells, and it is thought she may have been seized by one and taken to some place for treatment, but her silence is un- explainable. She is 49 years of age, 5 fect 2 inches tall and wore a black dress and black fur cape. The police have been un- able to find any trace of her. —_————————— After a girl gets married fewer pickles and more onlons. she eats Last Year? | i Should Women Remove Their Hals in Church?
