Mrs. Blanche Young Begins Suit Against Alexander Young Jr. Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 1118 Broadway, May 15. The culmination of a series of quarrels that had hitherto been unsuspected by their friends in soclety is told in a di- vorce complaint that was filed to-day by Mrs. Blanche Young against Alexander Young Jr. Mrs. Young does not charge ler husband with anything more than certain incompatabilities of temper, but they seem to have been sufficient to have destroyed their happiness and impelled ber to brave the notoriety and disagree- | able exposures of the divorce courts. No violence is charged, nothing that contains | even a suggestion of threatening hands, | only such unpleasant incidents as have affected the peace of mind of the plaintiff | and made them both think they can get ! along better separated. { The custody of their two boys. aged 6| and 3, is asked for by the plaintiff.

EXPERT LENVES THE UNIVERGITY Inspector C. H. Shinn Re- signs Position at California. State Loses Horticulturist of Note Through Changes at Berkeley. L BERKELEY, May 15—With the closing of this college year the University of California will lose one of its old and faithful workers through the resignation of Charles H. Shinn, inspector of agricul- tural experiment stations. Mr. Shinn has been carrying on the task in which he is now engaged for the last eleven years and during that time he has proved him- self of much value to the agricultural de- partment of the university and has aided | Government and other plans for the pro- motion of forestry. The office of inspector was abolished this term by request of President Wheeler, the position not being considered of importance enough to maintain a high salaried man. The office will go out of existence on July 1. Mr. Shinn's work will be carried on by A. V. Steubenrauch, whose appointment as assistant in horti- under Professor H. J. Wickson will be announced at the university before the begiining of next term. Steuben- rauch is a graduate of California, was for- merly fellow in horticuiture at Cornell and is at present employed in the Illinois Experiment Station. Mr. Shinn's work as inspector of the dozen agricultural stations which the State maintains has placed him in the foremost rank of horticulturists and his special studies on forestry have made him an expert in that subject. His future work will be in forestry. His home is in es. e McDONOUGH AND GRAY GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY ‘When ex-Convict Fred Gray, alias Hast- ings, gets out of the State Penitentiary, to which he will be sentenced on Satur- day, he will keep a keen watch for his oldtime friend James McDonough, alias Virginia Jim. Within a few years past McDonough has killed one man and wounded another. He is handy with a “gun” and is not afraid to look down the muzzle of one. Both men were convicted yesterday by a jury in the United States District Court of the crime of conspiracy to make coun- They hired a room at 748 Harrison street last February and on the 13th of that month two policemen search- ed their valises and found twenty-five counterfeit $5 pieces all completed, except the gilding. For this reason, and because of a ruling of Judge de Haven in the Fritch case last year, that ungilded white metal $ pieces could not decelve any one and therefore could not be considered a: counterfeits in the penal sense, the indic ment was found for conspiracy. MeDon- ough asserted that the coins and tools were -the property of Gray and Gray de- nied their ownership. On his trial for shooting and killing a man in Colorado a few years ago, McDonough proved self- defense and the jury acquitted him with- out leaving their seats. He is very bit- | ter against Gray in the present case. ————————— |1IS§ ANNETTE MARSHALL TO RECEIVE A BENEFIT Annette Marshall, the versatile leading lady of the Central Theater, will be given a benefit at that playhouse this evening. | The friends of the popular actress have purchased innumerable tickets and the house will be crowded. “The World,” a melodrama that gives the clever peopie at the Central an opportunity. to dispiay thefr ability, will be produced. Instead of the usual overture betweén acts' spe- cialties_will be introduced. Georgie Cooper will raise her voice in song; the Florodora “Quartet” will ren- der their specialty; Miss Forence Chap- man, a sweet singer from the Tivoll, ‘s to do a stunt; the Bennett children are scheduled to do a turn, and other volun- teers have offered their services. Miss Marshall leaves the company after a season of strenuous work. She has risked her life time and again to carry out the jdeas of writers of lurid melo- dramas. Time and again she has been plunged into icy waters in order that the villain might marry another, but has al- ways come up serenely. She has been ! blown up in powder explosions; has had elevators drop on her, and taken perilous trips on windmills. For this reason the management of the house thought she was entitled to a benefit on the comple- tion of work well done. ————————— SAY T MUST NOT PASS ON CHERS’' EFFICIENCY Superintendent of Schools Webster, with his deputies, L. A. Jordan, W. Kingsbury, Dr. Howard and D. J. Sullivan, held. a conference yesterday with Mayor Schmitz regarding the contention of the Board of Eduecation that the Superintendent’s office must investigate the efficlency of teachers and report thereon to the board. Superintendent Webster stated that the Directors had expressed the opinion that the Buperintendent should assume the re- sponsibility of designating inefficient teacehers in order that the Board of Edu- cation could dismiss them from the de- partment. ‘Webster took issue with the board, and producing the charter and State law, pointed out to the Mayor that in neither instrument was there any specific provis- ion requiring him or his deputies to inquire into the efficiency of teachers. Webster contended that this duty lay with the principals of the various schools. Mayor Schmitz, who is desirous of main- taining harmony among city officials, sug- gested that Webster and his deputies meet with the Board of Education in .an endeavor to settle the disputed point, and this will be done next week.

CUPID DISPELS LOVER'a DREAM Suitor Appears for Mar- riage to Learn of Elopement. Suisun Belle Weds Another Despite Promise and Protest. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. SUISUN, May 15.—William A. Chrisler and Miss Mona Roble, a popular young couple of Suisun, eloped to Napa last evening and were united in marriage in that city at 11 o'clock in County Clerk Collins' office by the Rev. Mr. Annes of the Baptist church. Even their most in- timate friends here did not know that they were to be married. In fact, their plan had not been arranged until yester- dav. Chrisler had been paying attention to the young lady during her two years' res- idence here. It was a case of mutual love, but Miss Robie was engaged to a young man in one of the northern counties, and on this account her parents did not en- ‘courage Chrisler's visits to their home. The daughter had promised them not to break the engagement with her be- trothed and every arrangement had been completed for the marriage, which was to have taken place at the Robie home to-day. By accident Miss Robie met her down- cast Suisun suitor yesterday. His deject- ed appearance and pathetic appeals so worked upon her feelings that she con- sented to cast all other duties aside, with the above result. The other man arrived upon the scene to-day only to learn that the woman he expected would be his wifc had gene, never to return to him. CHARITABLE SOCIETIES SHARE HIS FORTUNE SAN RAFAEL, May 15.—The will of the late James Findlayson was filed in the County Clerk’s office to-day.

There was a stipulation bequeathing $25 each to any and all women claiming to be widows of Findlayson. 'Those to whom Findlay- son left his fortune and the amounts they are to receive are: Mrs. Martha McKinnon of St. Louis, Mo., a sister, $20,000; Mrs. Findlayson Drynan, now Mrs. Willia: Patterson, of San Francisco, $20,000; Mrs. F. L. Mason, a friend in Tulare, $15,000; Mrs. James Anderson, another friend, of San Francisco, $3000; the British Benevo- lent Society, $4000. The residue of the estate is left to the following charitable institutions of San Francisco in share and share alike: Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, Ladies’; Protective and Relief Society, Pacific brew Or- phanage, Little Sisters’ Infant Shelter, St. Francis Girls' Directory, San Franeisco Girls’ Union, Youths’ Directory, San Fran- cisco Protestant Orphan Soclety, Young Women's Christian Association and San Francisco Settlement Association.

He went outside, saw_Aguirre and followed him two blocks. Boronda said that after a wordy war and a sharp struggle Aguirre shot him in the stom- ach. Aguirre, who was arrested, says he was not at or near the Boronda home, but was shot at by Boronda and returned the fire. did not fire his revolver, two chambers of his weapon had been discharged. ————— STRIKE IN SUPPORT OF THE SUFFRAGE BILL STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 15.—The general strike decreed by the Social Dem- ocratic party in support of the suffrage bill, the debate on which begins in Par- liament to-day, was carried out as a ranged, and the tie-up of business has been practically complete since this morn- ing.

LOS ANGELES, May 15.—The mys- tery of the disappearance last Sunday of G. R. Brookman, foremian of R. ¥.

The neck was broken, one of the arms was fractured in three places, one leg in two places, and the face was scarred and the body badly bruised. Death must have been instantaneous. There is apparently nothing to support any other theory than that the unfortunate young man was ac- cidentally precipitated over the bluff while riding-his bicycle s Sacramento Painters Strike. SACRAMENTO, May 15.—Nearly all the union painters and grainers in the city walked out this morning. Only those em- ployed by persons and irms not members of the Contractors’ Association are at work to-day. The strike is the result of the union men and Contractors’ Assocla- tion failing to reach a settlement of the differences between them which arose about three weeks ago. The contractors insisted upon the union men refusing to do painting and graining for the em- ployers not members of the association. The men claimed the right to work for any person who pald the union scale of wages. —_— Harriman Visits the Capital. SACRAMENTO, May 15.—E. H.

Men in the Bituminous Coal Region May Join the Strikers. HAZLETON, Pa., May 15—The anthra- cite mine workers, in convention late this afternoon, decided to continue the .strike of 145,000 men against the mine owners and to fight it out to the bitter end. The matter of calling out the engineers, fire- men and pump runners will be decided by the delegates to-morrow. The vote to continue the suspension was as follows: Total vote cast, 811; for strike, 461%; alalgla.lnst strike, 349%; majority for strike, President Mitchell, however, in com- pliance with the rules of the United Mine ‘Workers, announced to the public that the action of the convention was unanimous. ‘While the leaders are cautious and not forecasting their actions, it is not un- likely that the miners’ fight will be car- ried into the bituminous coal regions and into other flelds of industry. Mine work- ers for eight months have been looking forward to the strike that is now upon them. For the strike they have saved their money and are considered to be in better shape to-day for a fight than they were in the great strike of 1900. That struggle ended in the mine owners giving the men a 10 per cent advance after a six months’ suspension. The operators.-are on record as being unalterably opposed to granting the men any concessions and they have informed the mine workers’ leaders of that fact. The workers fear that the present fight may mean the de- struction of their organization, because they believe that the operators are bent more on wrecking their organization than they are in opposing the derhands for bigher wages and shorter work days. President Mitchell’s advice to the miners was for peace, and he gave it to them in the plainest and most forceful of lan guage. He was ably assisted by Presi dent Fahey and Secretary Hartley of the lower district and Secretary Dempsey of the upper territory. President Nicholls of the first district was the first great champion of the strike advocates. Mitchell, who was the last to speak, was listened to with the greatest attention. It is also said that a telegram was read from the American Federation of Labor against a pefmarient suspension. Put the delegates would not listen, and amid suppressed excitement the vote was taken. For a time it looked as though the peace advocates would win, but when celegation after delegation from the lower district, the last to be called, answered ‘“Yes” it was seen that the men who fa- vored a fight had won. The result was re- ceived by the convention with applause, which, however, was not very enthusias- | tic or prolonged. The men appreciated the seriousness of their decision, which no doubt dampened their ardor. The miners insist that fiearly all the engineers, firemen and pump runners be- lorg to their organization and say that they can get all to quit if they wish to. In the event this is brought about it would do incalculable damage to the mines through flooding, unless the com- ranies can fill the men’s places. President Mitchell was apparently in good humor to-night. He was pressed i:;uggj OD{%?I? %n the slt‘;xatiun, but he b esbarre prol the strike headquarters, > " be e USES A GERMICIDE TO CURE CONSUMPTION | New York Physician Begins Experi- ments With Alleged Remedy for the Disease. PHOENIX, A. T., May 15.—Dr. Wilfred G. Fralick of New York, discoverer of a | ermicide to cure consumption by in- fusion into the blood, to-day demon- pital In_this city. The patients were Judge Henson Kennedy of Prescott and two others. About twenty-five local phy- sicians were present. The remedy was introduced through a vein in the wrist. Judge Kennedy is rest- ing easily to-night. It will be a day or two, Dr. Fralick says, before the bene- ficial results will be fully manifest. Ap- plication was made to two other patients, S. J. Painter of Phoenix and Albert Ko- kenge of Cincinnati. Treatment will be given to others to-morrow. Dr. Fralick invites physicians to follow the cases carefully to the end. There is great in- terest here. A few local physicians dis- credit the treatment, but most of them are impressed and are inclined to sus- pend judgment. The liquid germicide is introduced_ by gravity into the empty vein, Dr. Fralick's theory being that in that way it will be carried to the remot- est hiding place of any fqrm of bacteria. INSURANCE COMPANY 2 MUST PAY THE POLICY Impertant Decision Is Rendered in Suit Against the Mutual Re- serve Life Association. ST.

The ver- dict included costs. A short time prior to his death Roth refused to pay an assess- ment on the policy, and this act the com- pany claimed made the policy invalid. Judge Adams sald: ‘“‘Roth had paid many assessments on his policy, and the net value paid was sufficient to carry after this lapse for a period extending to the time of his death. Therefore the fact that he failed to pay one assessment con- stituted no defense.” SOHET GRSt CHINESE MINISTER ASK FOR PROTECTION Calls the Attention of Secretary Hay to the Threatened Violence at Silverton.

Advanced Age Forbids Hope of Him Throwing Off the Disease. CALL BUREAU, 406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, May 15. — Lord Pauncefote, British Embassador to the United States, is seriously ill and there is every reason to believe that his death may oceur in a short period. He is over 70 vears old and his advanced age for bids the hope that he will rally from his present attack. Pauncefote's chief ail-| ment is rheumatic gout, which has at- tacked his heart and other vital organs. The disease has laid him low many times in the past, but his vigorous constitution and pluck always brought him back to a fair degree of health. Lord Pauncefote, who is dean of the diplomatic corps, is known by sight to everybody in Washington. His white hair and mustache, sturdy frame, ruddy English complexion and genial manners angappeamnce all combined to make him the most picturesque character in Wash- ington. £ Pauncefote, never held a diplomatic post | until he came to Washington in 1889 as the successor to Lord Sackville-West, who was recalled on complaint of Secretary | Bayard because he advised former Britisn !subaiecls in California to vote for Cleve- and. Lord Pauncefote obtained his highest official and personal popularity under the McKinley administration. He was re- garded as a firm friend of this Govern- ment in the war with Spain and the recent attempt to show he had written a note to be presented by the corps of embassadors to McKinley, showing their hostility to the believed purpose of the United States to go to war with Spain, has never found credence among those who knew him.

Announcement Is Believed to Rest Upon High Authority. o e Special Dispateh to The Cail. LONDON, May 15.—No details are yet to hand regarding the Boer deliberations at Vereeniging, but the Daily Mail under- stands that sufficient indications trans- pired to justify the assertion that peace s absolutely assured.

That was before anything had been said about the meetings between Lord Kiteh- ener and the Boer leaders. WASHINGTON, May 15.—As the Presi~ dent, after considering the report of Col- onel Crowder, has decided that he cannot interfere with the cattle shipments at Port Chalmette, La., and as the executive is the only branch of the Government clothed by the constitution to pass upom the application of the laws of neutrality, as expressly affirmed by the Louisiana courts recently, it is not believed here that the Louisiana State authorities will | seek to make an issue with the Federal | courts by undertaking to do what the President himself has not seen fit to do. It is presumed that In due course the executiiv decision will be communicated to the Governor of Louisiama, who first brought the Port Chalmette operations to the attention of the National Government. BGSS CROKER DENIES DICTATING TO NIXON LONDON, May 15.—When questioned re~ garding the statement made by Lewis Nixon that Richard Croker dictated his resignation as the leader of Tammany Hall, Croker said: T have not been dictating to Nixon. On the contrary, I have been taking no_active inte est in New York politics and have directed everybody to support Nixon. It was a bemevo- lent and not a political question, and Nixon had no cause to resign. I am sorry and hope he will reconsider his determination. It will be a serious inconvenience to the party ors ganization if he refuses to reconsider his de- cision. 1 will give no advice, because my en mies will talk and say I am dictating New York politics from abroad. NEW YORK, May 15.—The Evening Post says: It was reported at Tammany Hall this morning that Richard Croker will be in New York within a month, and will either resume the leadership of the or- ganization which Lewis Nixon laid down yesterday or select a successor to Nixon. It was predicted that a thorough politi- cian, probably one of the district leaders, will be chosen, as the experiment of put- ting a business man at the head of Tam- many Hall has turned out to be a fail- ure.
