INSTITUTED ° YESTERDAY, — o ADELEINE BRUGUIERE, whose romantic marriage 1o | Pedar Sather Bruguiere at Oak- land New Year's day, 1598, start | led the social world of that city and San Francisco, has appealed to the | atvoree courts for a severance of the | ties uniting her to the ybung physician, She filed @ suit vesterday, charging her | husbana with deserting her ten months | after their marriage. The marricd life of the Bruguleres has not been a happy one, | they having lived apart for the last two | vears, and in consequence the commence- | ment of the divorce proceedings does not surprise thelr large circle of friends. The marriage was almost an elopement. On New Year's eve they met at & soctal | gathering at the residence of Frank J. Moffitt, in Oakland. As the party was about to break up, Moffitt made a speech ir. which he referred to married life as an-ideal existence His remarks evident- v affected young Bruguiere, for within twelve hours he proceeded to the resi- | the beautiful Miss Madeleine McKisick, daughter of former Judge McKisick, and | made her his wife. The marriage was a | great surprise, for voung Brugulere had Just completed his medical studies, while | his bride had been for some time one of | the acknowledged leaders of the social | sets of Oakland and this city. She was an accomplished amateur actress, and at the time of her marriage had a reputatien for cleverness rivaling that of many a professional stage favorite. riage rumors that the Bruguleres were not | living happily together became rife. They were confirmed by the announcement that the former society bud had determined to adopt the stage as a profession and would make her debut at the Columbia. She appeared there with Madame Modjes- ka's troupe and scored a hit. At the close of her engagement with Modjeska, Mrs. Brugulere went East and appeared there with a troupe managed by Harry Corson Clarke. The venture proved a failure, it is said, because of the strife Letween Mrs. Brugulere, her chum, Jane Plunkett, and the manager. Mrs. Bruguiere Within a few months after the mar- | CAUSES SCANDAL Marshal Shine and the Chinese Bureau Fall Out. Barbour Alleges That Half the Women Made Their Escape. The raid made last Saturday night by United States Marshal Shine and posse at a highbinders’ banquet has given rise to a disagreeable conflict of opinion be- | tween Inspector Barbour of the Chinese Bureau and the Marshal. Mr. Bnrpour insists that of *“‘the thirty-three or thirty- four or thirty-five” Chinese women held up by the posse two were arrested for deportation and all but thirteen escaped, or ‘leaked” out of the building. The | Marshal denies this statement point blank and asserts that of the ‘“‘thirty-one wom- en” held up not one escaped or “leaked out. Mr., Barbour's statement is that after the “‘thirty-three or thirty-four or thirty- five’” women had been herded into a room guarded by the Marshal and his posse he (Barbour) went downstairs and wl(h‘ Chinese Inspector Schell took up his sta- | tion at the front .door, which he be)!eved! to be the only visible exit from the build- ing. Here, as the women were sent down | to him, he examined their papers and finding ‘them correct allowed them to pass into the street. Inspector Schell took | | the name of each and every woman let out by him and Barbour and tallied thir- teen. " Only fifteen came down to them | and two of thesa were sent back to the Marshal, one not having any papers at all, and the papers shown by the other being dubious. When Barbour in\zulredi as to the whereabouts of the remalning | cighteen, nineteen or twenty women, the Marshal informed him that they had all been sent downstairs under escort of Dep- uty Marshals and Chinese inspectors. MARSHAL SHINE'S DENIAL. Marshal Shine says that about thirty- one Chinese women were found at the banquet and herded into the room. One of them tried to escape through a win- dow, but was caught and pulled back by | Deputy Marshal Burnham. Then the | Marshal and one of his deputies stood at the door of the room and passed out the thirty-one Chinese ladi: one by one. Each one was obliged to ow her pa-| pers to the Marshal, who carefully com- { pared her features with the photograph ! pasted on the certificate, and being sat- isfled passed her over to “Doc” Rickards, | Chinese interpreter, and others to be es- | corted to Barbour. % | “‘Every one of the women,” said Mar- shal Shine yesterday, ‘“‘except the two that I arrested, had their_ certificates of registration or court records to show that they were lawfully in the country, except | one, who showed me a key to her safe deposit box in which she said she had | placed her papers. Several merchants | vouched for the truth of her statements and I allowed her to go until Monda - On Monday she came to my office with | her papers. I suggested to Mr. Barbour | that he should take his position with me | at the door of the room and examine the | papers, but he preferred to go down- stairs. There were more of the women | escorted on the way to him by Chinese inspectors than there were by my men. None of these women were under arrest; they were merely detained, and as soon | as I was satisfied that they had the neces- sary papers 1 had no legal excuse to de- tain them.” Barbour said yesterday that he inter- cepted two men downstairs without pa- pers and sent them back to the Marshal to_be arrested. Marshal Shine said that he had been in- formed that several women passed out of the door that Barbour was guarding | without showing the inspector any pa- pers. THE RAID “TIPPED OFF.” The fact that the raid was about to be made was known in Chinatown several hours before the posse arrived, and in one instance a clergyman was sent for in hot haste to marry a couple, the “lady” being a slave and the “gentleman’ being her owner. A short time_ago United States Court Commissioner Heacock remarked to Mr. Barbour that there was “a leak” in the bureau. That was after a very peculiar | trial. A Chinese laborer had been ar-| rested for being illegally in the country, | the complaint having been sworn to by | an_ officer of the Chinese Bureau. On! habeas corpus proceedings the Chinaman proved that he was a native-born Ameri- | can and the Commissioner released him. | The Commissioner asked the bureau. offi- cial, whose name is Da Silva, why he | had caused the man’s arrest, and the offi- | | dence of the Rev.

J. Smith, 906 Market st. —_———— Robbed While Asleep. Rcbert Warwick, who says he is a stranger from Colton, reported to the po- lice yesterday that while he was asleep ir a rear room in the Baldwin Annex sa- loon Tuesday night some person went through his pockets and stole $0. Cap- tair Martin detailed a man on the case, but with little hope of discovering the RNID AT BANQUET VOLUNTARY FAGT ENDS IN DEATH Katherine Ball Abstains From Eating Forty- Five Days, Strange Case Is Brought to the Attention of the Coroner. Mrs. Katherine Ball, who conducted a private hotel known as The Hedges at 824 Powell street. died yesterday morning as a result of having fasted for forty-five days, Mrs, Ball's starvation was quite voluntary. She abstained from food for the purpose of reducing her weight. Her unnatural method of reducing herself from an exceedingly stout woman to a very thin one is one of the most peculiar cases of self destruction ever brought to the attention of the coroner’s office. The strangest part of the story is that during the early days of Mrs. Ball's vol- untary fast she enjoyed better health and became more erergetic and spirited than she had been in years. Had she not be- come possessed with the foolhardy idea of holding out for a period of fifty days she might to-day be a living testimonial of the benefits of abstinence from food. | The physicians who are interested in the case are inclined to believe that during the earlier perfod of her fast Mrs. Ball drew enough nourishment to keeg the spark of life burning from the superfiuous fat and flesh with which her frame was ‘weighted. When she commenced her fast | June 11 she weighed 250 pounds. When she died yesterday morning her emaciated body would scarcely tip the scales at the 120 pound mark. Mrs. Ball possessed a strong will power. Her increasing weight caused her much worry. She could not climb the stairs without having to stop to catch her breath, and her -body became too heavy for her limbs to - support without taxing them greatly. She finally conceived the idea of starving herself, to reduce Irer welght, and on the morning of June 11 she ¢id not eat her breakfast. In the first four days of her fast she suffered untold tortures. Her amazingly strong will power carried her through, however, and soon she was going around the house teil- ing everybody more than a habit. She found the habit of going into the dining room at meal times too strong to break, and she always sat down with her guests and talked to them at the table. The days passed slow- ly, but Mrs. Ball's avoirdupois began to diminish. She dropped thirty-five pounds in one week and gained strength rapidly. She could ascend three flights of stairs without stopping for breath, and said she felt fully twenty years younger. Her eyes became bright and clear and she looked the picture of health. On June 19 Mrs. | Ball's son told Dr. J. C. Anthony that his | mother had been fasting for some time, | and as it was in line with advice he had | given her many times, Dr. Anthony sanc- | tioned the fdea. Mrs. Ball called at his | office several days latér, and, noticing the | vast improvement in her appearance, Dr. | Anthony advised her to keep up the fast | until she felt hungry. In the meantime | her flesh began to disappear rapidly. Each | day some of it was consumed to nourish | the body. On the twepty-first day of her | fast she was attacked with rheumatism and ‘had to go to bed. She declared at | that time that she was strong and felt no desire to partake of food. Her weight | was estimated to be in the neighborhood | of 165 pounds. She was fond of talking of | her marvelous fast and expressed a de- | gire to hold out for fifty days. Some of | her friends became alarmed and advised | her to break her fast, but she refused to | do so. About the thirty-seventh day she | was_ suddenly taken with an attack of weakness and after that she fell away rapidly. She held to her resolution, how- ever, until the forty-fifth day, when Dr. J. Stow Ballard was called in to attend her. He orderéd strong stimulants, and broths and strengthening medicines, but the unfortunate woman was too far gone to save her life. She dled yesterday morning about 10 o’clock, and as Dr. Bal- lard was unable to sign the death certifi- cate he reported the matter to Coroner Leland, who will hold an inquest. Mrs. Ball was about 50 years of age, and leaves a grown-up son. LONDON, July 30.—An auction sale of rare books this ‘afternoon brought high prices.

Senator Bard sent a telegram regretting that he could not be present. A communication was received from Governor Gage announcing that he was too busy with other matters to at- tend. William Thomas, chairman of a delega- tion sent from this State to further the irrigation bill, made a short speech. He denounced the irrigation laws of Califor- nia and said that they were so bad that | it would be impossible to amend them, | and that new laws would have to be | passed at the next session of the Legisla- ture. He further said that he was con- | fident that the moment that work is begun | by he United States Government in the | line of building the reservoirs, the popu- | He believed that.when the Eastern people see the great work begun in earnest they will flock to California. He paid the Con- gressional delegation a glowing tribute | and said that the members had done all in | their power to further California’s inter- ests. Senator George C. Perkins was warmly | received. He said in part: | The last session of Congress has been one of | the most important since the close of the Civil | War. The session was opened under a cloud of sorrow—the executive head of the nation | had been struck down, but there was a thrill of confidence felt when Theodore Rooseveit, the champion of the people, stepped to the front and took the place of the assassin’s vic- tim. One of the first acts of Congress was to Tepeal the war tax. It amounted to seventy { millions a year, and was voluntarily taken up by the American people to save Cuba from the oppression of Spain. In looking over the political fleld I find that the Democrats recall to my mind a recent visit to my old home in Maine. I was walking along a road with an old school chum, and, pointing out the graveyard to him, I asked “Does it not look sad? Yes, it is a sad situation,” he replied. ““Those who are in there can’t get out, those that are out don’t want to get in.” ‘Well, gentlemen, that is the position of the Democrats to-day. Many who are in the party | want to get out and those who are out don't want to get in.

Mrs. White was interviewed by Detec- tive Tom Gibson yesterday and upon emerging from the sickroom Gibson hur- ried tothe Hall of Justice to report to Cap- tain of Detectives Martin. A short time later Gibson left the hall and it is thought he has gone out of the city. It is ru- | mored that Gibson succeeded in eliciting information from Mrs. White which may result in the speedy apprehension of her husband. Mrs. White admitted having sent the telegram from St. Helena, which was re- celved by Secretary Parks. She stated that she went there at the direction of her husband and registered at the hotel under her own name. On July 19 she sent the telegram excusing White’s absence from duty by saying that she was dan- gerously ill. The Board of Public Works held a spe- clal meeting yesterday and appointed J. ¥. Donohue to the position made vacant by White's hurried flight. pert Cyril Willlams spent yesterday geing over White's books. He is making an examination of the cash records from the day White took charge of the office until the day of his flight, and does not expect to complete the task for two months. In the meantime evidence of White's duplicity is piling up. Many peo- ple to whom he gave bogus receipts are presenting themselves at the office of the Board of Public Works and each day that passes ralses the known amount of his rhortage considerably. Friends of White are preparing to ald him if possible to extricate himself from the nasty scrape into which his way- ward habits led him. Fifteen of his in- timate companions have held a confer- ence and decided to each contribute sums sufficient in the aggregate to cover any shortage which may be found. ‘Whether or not this will serve to les- sen the vigor of the prosecution is a mooted question. Those who are interest- ing themselves in White’s behalf cling to the hope that he has not stolen as much money as has been reported, but . the members of the Board of Public Works and the police are inclined to belleve that the shortage will exceed $5000, i band is not known.

Manuel Gusman, a Porto Rican, just ar- I rived from Honolulu, called upon United | States Marshal Shine yesterday and told him how he had been induced by a bunko | man to exchange $100 in gold for a worth- less bit of paper. It was on the dock at Honolulu just be- | fore the steamer sailed for this port that | the swindle occurred. Gusman had pur chased his ticket and in doing so exhibited {$106 in gold, being the whole of his re- | maining savings after two years of hard | labor on the sugar plantations. A well | dressed stranger, speaking excellent Span- ish, approached him, advised him against | carrying so much gold on the steamer and offered him a 5100 note in exchange. Gus- | man, being one of that class of easy peo- ple 'who believe all they read and | hear, accepted the stranger’s kind offer, | gave him the gold and took the note. On arriving here Gusman found that the note | was issued by a business college for the | | use of classes in bookkeeping and worth- | | less for any other purpose except kind- | | ling fires. All_the money that the dupe had left { was $5 in gold, which he gave to a hack- { man yesterday morning for driving him and three friends to the United States | Appraisers’ building. Marshal Shine took | | the party to United States Secret Service Agent Hazen, who informed them that | the bunko man had not violated any Fed- eral statute, the note on its face not pur- porting to be money. Agent Hazen con- | { gratulated Gusman on’the fact that he | | had any clothes left on his back. —_——— 3 | Mayor Entertains Glasgow Officials.
