THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, WITH EVIL ACTS Wife of Runaway Minis- ter Demands Decree of Divorce. Rev. J. H. Dwelle Is For- mally Accused by His Child Bride. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 22. Thrashed in his ohurch by an irate hus- bend and driven from his pastorate by charges of wrongdoing, the Rev. J. H. F. Dwelle, former shepherd of Beth Eden (colored) Baptist Church, is now con- fronted with' an accusation of infidelity lodgea against him by his child wife, Ber- tha P. C. Dwelle, whom he married seven months ago. Although forced to quit his charge after | the beating be received at the hands of J. J. Leggett, one of his flock, Dwelle maintained his innocence of the conduct alleged against him. But before the scan- | dalous affair had been fairly aired the | preacher was gone, leaving behind him his far from unattractive wife of 17 years, @ stranger in a strange land, humiliated and heartbroken over the exposure of her husband’s actions, Before he fled Dwelle Insisted that he would speedily be followed by his wife as soon as he was located. To-day ad- vices were received that he is in Chicago. Her reply was an instruction to Attorney Thomas Pearson to file a divorce com- plaint, accusing her runaway spouse of infidelity and naming Mrs. J. J. Leggett as co-respondent. It is charged that the gitive pastor and his parishioner were | company together at San Jose during a recent conference of the colored Baptist | church. It was certain evidence of their familiarity which impelled Leggett to publicly thrash Dwelle at his church. The preacher caused the belligerent husband’s &rrest, but the case was dismissed in the | Police Court. Duwelle, who is 26 years old, was mar- ried at Lancaster, Pa., last January. The couple came West soon afterward. CONGRESSMAN EKAHN TALKS OF CONDITIONS IN ORIENT Tells of Natives He Has Met and | Pays Tribute to the Late Pres- ident McKinley.

The Experience of One of Our Men. 16. of burgl The soldier boys who fought during the Rebellion went home as a rule in pretty bad shape, caused by exposure and im- proper food and the use of quantities of coffee, which left its mark in the wreck of many a stomach. Merrill Hutchinson of Reading, Mass., tells his experience: “lI am an old soldier who served all through the War of the Rebellion and my coffee drinking commenced when I en- listed. I drank it three times a day and at the close of the war returned home al- most a wreck. “For years I had dyspepsia of the worst | kind and could not drink anything but | warm water or warm milk, nor eat enough to hardly keep a man alive, After suffering this way for years and half liv- ing I was told by a friend of your Pos- tum Coffee. “At first I refused to even try it, for I thought it meant more suffering for me, but at last I consented and it did taste mighty good, for I was a dear lover of coffee. “I waited for the distress in my stomach that always had come with common cof- | fee, but it never came. I drank it at first very carefully and then got reckless and | wanted it every meal and for over five ye now have been drinking nothing el I have no dyspepsia now, no trouble about eating anything. My welght when I began using Postum Cereal Food Coffee was 125 pounds. I am now 2 years o.d and weigh about 160 pounds nd am solid as a rock and able to do a day’s work with any of the boys.

BERKELEY, Aug. 22.—The contest be- tween the students’ affairs committee and the students of the University of California who stick to the old spirit of; fun making at the expense of the fresh- | men has come to an end, with the hon- ors all on the side of the faculty men. The organization of the freshmen into a class body, the crucial point over which in years gone by there has always been | the supreme struggle of the year, passed | off this morning as quietly as a Quaker meeting. President Wheeler, anticipating trouble | between the classes, had at first forbid- den any persons to attend the meeting save freshmen and those who should re- celve written permits from him. But on the representations of Bruce Wright, president of the Associated Students, that the meeting would be best conducted un- der the customary supervision of the ju- niors and that the sophomores would m)(‘K make any attempt to break it up, he gave his consent to the juniors attending. Before the meeting Wright gathered the most sober minded members of the sopho- more class, over a hundred in all, and| pledged them by written agreement to | stay away from the meeting. Before the meeting was held the following letter from President Wheeler was read: “I have decided that it is best to trust| the students of the junior and sophomore | classes fully and to leave to their own | capacity for self-government the preven- tion of disorder in comnection with the organization of the freshman class. “1 therefore give permission for such to attend the meeting and also for the students whom you have selected from outside of the class.” The quiet conduct of the sophomore class will, it is believed, have much good effect upon the members of the students’ ait’_t‘n{{; committee who still have the case of W.

Birdie Ruth Weiber, pretty and im- petuous as youth at 18 is apt to be, jilted her lover with whom she had quarreled last night and to-day married another, whom she had only known a few hours, on the strength of a wager. This is the story that was told to Jus- tice of the Peace James Larue when he united Birdle Ruth Wilson in marriage to George Roy Tucker this afternoon. The story that was told the Justice was one of a hasty quarrel and a still more Lasty marriage. Miss Wilson, now Mrs. Tucker, said that she had quarreled with her flance last night; that this morning she had re- ceived a telephone message from her re- pentant-lover, asking her if she had for- gotten the quarrel. She replied that she had not and that she was going riding with two friends. The ride was taken and a wager made that she would not marry George Roy Tucker, one of her escorts. The girl ac- cepted the bet and became the stake- holder. She proved her courage by pro- curing a license with the money wagered. “hree minutes later the two were united in marriage by Justice of the Peace Larue. The g’oung bride declared herself the winner of the bet. Her husband is a fireman on the Santa Fe Railway and re- sides at Point Richmond. The young bride immediately telephoned her mother that it was all over and the only admonishment she recelved was to come home early. GEORGE JAMES WILL RETIRE.

Trusts, —_— ST. PAUL, Minn,, Aug. 22.—Although yesterday’s discussion of the trust ques- tion and the later action of the resolu- tions committee in ignoring the question had been regarded as the end of consid- eration of that problem before the Trans- Mississippi Commercial Congress, such proved not to be the case. ‘When the Congress was called to order to-day for the closing session J. A. Gard- ner of St. Louis secured the floor and moved the adoption of resolutions which he presented. These slightly differed from the Wetmore resolutions of earlier in the session, and precipitated another lively debate. The point of the discussion was more whether the proposition would be gener« ally looked upon as partisan action by the Congress than action on the merits of the case. Little of importance had been left over for.the closing session, so the at- tendance was small, but the warmth of the debate made up for that. A vote was finally reached before 11 o’clock and by a vote of 20 to 19 the resolutions were adopted, as follows: Whereas, The trust system has been and is a menace to cur republican institutions; and Whereas, [f allowed to continue to form combinations in restraint of trade and the elimination of competition, the wealth of the entire country will be concentrated in the bands of a féw; and ‘Whereas, The said combinations are calcu- lated to destroy the hope and ambition of the youth of the country, it being well understood | that the ambition and hope of lhe young men of this nation have made it great; therefore, be it Resolved, By this Congress, that the Presi- dent of the United States be respectfully urged to use all the power vested in his office to the erd that the growing yower and the influence of the trusts may be destroyed; and be it fur- ther Resolved, That if, in the wisdom of the na- tional Congress, the laws now on the statute books are insufficient to suppress this growing evil, other more stringent and efficient laws be speedily enacted. ALLEGED INCENDIARY IS BELIEVED TO BE INSANE Lunacy Commission Will Pass Upon the Mental Capacity of George Mills. SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 22.—George Mills, who was arrested here last night on a charge of disturbing the peace, but in reality because he was suspected of hav- | ing started many incendiary fires in San Rafael, is still in the County Jail. Mills was subjected to close questioning this morning and was unable to prove an abill. As yet no warrant has been issued charg- ing him with arson. Mills attempted to prove that he was not at the Scott fire on Wednesday night and that he was ab- sent from the scene of the blaze last night. In both instances, however, he was seen in proximity to the fire and on each occasion acted suspiciously when he was discovered. Mills was taken before Judge Murray this morning, pleaded not guilty and de- manded a jury trial. His case was set for August 2 at 10 o’clock. Before that time, however, Mills will be brought up before the Insanity Commission and adjudged as to his mental capacity. George Mills has lived in San Rafael many years. He at ore time was in business in San Francisco. He is said to be a. relative of D. O. Mills, the multi- millionaire, and for a long time, it is re- Ported, he has been the recipient of week- y remittances from Mr. Mills' agents in San Francsico.

Dr. von Holleben, who is here, informed a correspondent to-day that so Zar as he was concerned the report was quite unfounded, and the Foreign Office, in confirming this, added that Dr. Mumm von Schwarzenstein, who is now on his way to Germany on leave of absence, will, in all probability, return to Peking.

Natives Advised to Till the Soil and Forego Politics, MANILA, Aug. 22.—Civil Governor Taft reached here this morning at daylight on board the United States gunboat General ! Alva from Singapore, Straits Settlement. He was welcomed with an enthusiastic popular demonstration. The day had been made a holiday and the city was decorated.

The Governor said the action taken b: Congress concerning_the Philippine Isi- ands showed that the American people honestly. desired to help the Filipinos. The Americans were determined the isl- ands should not be exploited by Ameri- cans at the expense of the Filipinos. Gov- ernor Taft predicted that eventually the archipelago would have practically free trade, and he congratulated the Filipino people upon the restoration of peace. He advised the Filipinos to till the soil and restore their country rather than waste time in useless political agitation. He promised personaily to labor for the na- tives and asked for their confidence and support. General Chaffee returned to Manila to- | day from his tour of the southern isl- ands. He has not taken decisive agtion against the Moros of the island of Min- danao. He regards the situation there as uncertain, but not critical. He still hopes that moral suasion may avert a conflict between the Moros and the Amer- | icans, and he has directed Captain John J. Pershing of the Fifteenth Infantry, commander of the American column at Lake Lanao, Mindanao, to open com- munication with the Sultan of Bacolod and ascertain the reason for the repeated attacks by Moros upon the American sol- diers when the latter are not on the of- fensive. He will await a reply from the Sultan before taking further steps in the | matter, At Tbgan General Chaffee conferred with a number of Moro chiefs in the Lake Lanao district.
