One or two of the stanchions t held the lumber in place had given away, burling the pile upon his wife and two friends. There was %000 feet of fresh lumber on the car, weighing fuilly 28,000 pounds.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 13.—A pitiful scene was enacted this morning in Judge Conk- lin's court when the law compelled the separation of a mother and her children as the outcome of a divorce suit. John _undgren was granted a divorce from his wife on the ground of cruelty and was awsrded the custody of the children. The mother refused to give them up and was sentenced to serve twenty-four hours in jall. She was given time, however, to obey the court before being ordered into the custody of the Sheriff, but she did rot comply with the order and was finally brought into court to-day. She begged for the court to let her keep the children and pleaded with her husband to take her beck, crying piteously all the time. Final- ly she was made to understand that she must surrender her little ones or go to jeil. The father took the children and Geparted. R Armour Loans Four Millions. CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—Seeking to relleve ina measure thestringency in the Western money market and also to benefit by the | bers to tumble, crushing the three peoplc. Captain Goulding, who was nearest the | train, was instantly borne down and bur- fed beneath the timbers. His body serv- ed to shield his wife and Mrs. Green from bearing the full weight of the im- pact. The two women were borne to the wharf, too, but being shielded were only | struck by the timbers that shifted over the body of Captain Goulding. The scund of the crash was heard by | every person on the wharf. Instantly | there was a rush to the scene to rescue | the victims. Besides Captain Green, J. | W. Dickinson, the Southern Facific Com- | pany’s freight agent; James Nevin, su- | perintendent of the loading crew, and most of the loading crew saw the acci- dent. These men hurried to the scene | and in a few moments released the vic- | tims from the big sticks of timber that hell them helplessly to the flooring of | the whart. Freight Agent Dickinson acted promptly | and soon had the injured on the wuy to | the Receiving Hospital in this city. When i the Lospital was reached a corps of phy- | siclans was on hané to treat the wounded. | Drs. Robert 8. Stratton, R. B. Williams, Will Dunn and C. W. Dodge made their examirations and began treatment at once. | An examination of Captain Goulding re- | vealed that his injurles were fatal. He | never recovered consciousness after being extricated from the lumber pile. His back | was broken, hie left leg fractured, his | ribs crushed, face badly indented and | skull fractured. Within twenty minutes after arrival at the hospital he was dead. Mrs. Goulding’s left thigh was broken. | She received severe body bruises and is supposed to be internally injured, though | the doctors do not think her injuries will | prove fatal. She recelved the news of the | death of her husband calmly, expressing the opinion that it was better'so if his | back was broken. The injuries to Mrs. Green consist of a | crushed left leg, just above the ankle, a | dislocated shouider and severe body brujses. Her limb was almost severed, but the prompt attention which was se- cured for her gave the physiclans an op- pcrtunity to save the member. While she was being treated at the operating table her husband assisted the physiclans. Both women were resting easily last night and the doctors hold out every hope advancing rates for loans, Armour & Co. to-day sent $4,000,000 to New York for loaning purposes. J. Ogden Armour, president of the corporation, had nothing to say concerning the details of the transaction. Mob Slays Fourteen Jews. VIENNA, Sept. 13.—A serious anti-Sem- { ite outbreak has ocourred at Czensto- | chowa, a pilgrim resort in Poland. A mob | stormed the Jewish shops and wrecked the bread shops and, according to the Slovopolski, fourteen Jews and one gen- darme were killed and numbers were in- jured. The military was summoned to restore order. e PSR Ford’s Resignation Is Filed. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 13.—The resigna- tion of Attorney General Ford, to take effect next Monday, was filed in the Gov- ernor’s office to-day. The appointment to fill the vacancy will not be announced un- til Monday. SO T T King Leopold Is Coming. . BRUSSELS, BSept. 13.—It is announced that King Leopold will visit the United States next year. The time of the visit has been definitely fixed for next Febru- ary and March. 2 il that both will recover from their injuries. The responsibility for the accident rests with the men under Superintendent Nev- in of the loading crew. Sperintendent Nevir ys the cars were loaded the same as thousands of other cars that have Jeft the wharf were loaded. They had the same number of stanchions and braces and there was apparently ho good reason why the supports should have given way. FATE HELD RESPONSIBLE. “It must have been fate,” Nevin said, after the accident. “I cannot understand why the supports should have broken just at that particular moment. A second sooper or later and those people would not now be dead and maimed. The train was running at a low rate of speed, not more than four or five miles an hour, as it had just started up. Without warning whatever the lumber fell and those three unfortunates were buried un- ! derneath it. Such an accldent as that might never happen again. It was some- thing could not have been foreseen, “I do not think the men were careless in not making the uprights stronger, as there was no reason for making them any different than for any other cars. It is Jjust possible that the jarring of the train on the switch was the last straw that broke the weakening stanchions. I can see no other explanation for it.”” On account of the nature of their in- juries the two survivors of the accident were not allowed to talk about the ac- cident. Captain Goulding, the dead ship master, was a native of England, 52 years of age. He had been in command of the General Gordon since her launching and has been in this port on several previous occasions. He brought his ship through the Golden Gate early in the present month. This was Captain Green's first visit to San Francisco, he having sailed into the bay with the Mount Stewart about two weeks age. Both ships ‘were coal laden, dis- charging their cargo at Long wharf. Coroner H. B. Meirmann set next Tues- day night at 8 o'clock as the time for holding the inquest in Captain Goulding's case. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from Brown's undertaking parlors, on Thirteenth street, to which the remains were removed. The bedy will be cremated at Mountain View Cemetery. Captain Green, the deceased’s friend, is making the arrangements, BISHOP MONTGOMERY TO CONFIRM A CLASS Makes Last Visit to San Diego Be- fore Taking New Post in San Francisco. SAN DIEGO, Sept. 13.-Bishop Mont- gomery of the diocese of Los Angeles, who, according to the reports which have been sent out from Rome, has been named coadjutor to Archbishop Riordan and will soon change his official residence to San Francisco, is in San Diego to-night to administer the rite of confirmation on a class of forty-five in St. Joseph's Catholic Church to-morrow afternoon. He also will speak at the services to-morrow morning. The Bishop says that he has not yet re- ceived the official announcement of his appointment to the position in San Fran- cisco, but has no reason to doubt that the telegraphed news from Rome is correct. The appointment, of course, will come by mail, and it has not yet had time to reach him. This probably will be his last visit to San Diego. Rev. A. C. Williams. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13—Rev. Dr. A. C.

Benedict- Taylor Thrown Into Frenzy by Fatal Accident. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 13. Thrown into a state bordering on frenzy ifrom distress over the automobile acci- |dent which cost the life of Mrs. Annie Stewart, wife of United States Senator | Willlam M. Stewart, H. Benedict Taylor, {owner of the machine and its chauffeur when the collision occurred yesterday aft ! ernoon, is the object of the utmost atten- | tion from his friends and relatives. | Taylor is under closest observation by imembers of his family at the residence, 1704 Eighth street, the home of his aged i mother, Mrs: Chauncey Taylor, and him- i self. Although the young man was or- dered to bed by his physician, Dr. A. L. | Cunningham, he persisted in remaining | | out of his room, worrfed with grief and despair over the fatality. The prominent part he played in yesterday's tragic ac- cident in Alameda has been the catse of many sleepless hours since the torment | of his mind commenced. | | The immediate members of Mrs, Stew- {art’s family and her closest relatives at band have gone to the front with every | suggestion of sympathy for Mr. Taylor that they can bestow. Particularly is this so in the case of W. W. Foote. Upon | Mr. Foote the death of his sister falls | . with peculiar sadness. Mrs. Stewart had | taken the place of Mr. Foote's mother to {him. When the parent died he was yet a !youth. He leaned upon his sister, who Teared him to manhood during the early | | years of her married life. But the attor- iney went at once to Mr. Taylor, his | brother-in-law, and made a touching and sympathetic appeal to the distracted man | to ease his mind. | ‘ SUFFERING INTENSELY. | .Ben Taylor Is suffering intensely,” sald Mr. Foote to-day, “and when I went to ! him this afternoon, for the second time | since the accident, his condition of mind | depressed me. He was mentally chastis- | ing himself for the unfortunate affair and | grieving for the fear I, or any of us, should hold him up for blame. There is | none upon whom this Jfow will fall | harder than myself, barely excepting Senator Stewart and the daughters. She | was a second mother to me and I cher- | ish the memory of her efforts for me in my boyhood with sweetest respect. “But I do not feel resentful. Indeed, it was a dreadful accident, but I do not be- lieve human power could have averted it. So far as I am informed there is | nothing to add to the details of the acci-| | { dent. We understand that Mr. Taylor be- | | came a bit unsteady In trying to get out | | the machine ran against the fire alarm | telegraph pole. A cut of three inches | more in the turn of the wheels would | have caused the machine to have missed | the pole and the chances are no one | would have been hurt.” | News of the death of Mrs. Stewart sent | broadeast over the country has brought | | to the Foote residence scores of tele- | | grams of condolence from all over the | | United States. The family has been so! | prominent for so many years that there is | a widespread interest in the unhappy ac- | cident. { jl SENATOR STEWART WIRES. From The Hague this afternoon came a | | cablegram from Senator Stewart replying | | to that sent last night by W. W. Foote | which conveyed the sad intelligence of | Mrs. Stewart’s death. * The Senator cabled as follows: | Foote, Oakland—Leave soon as | Grateful for your action. Let body remain | unti! I arrive, STEWART. | In a Jletter received by Mrs. Stewart from her husband a few days ago, he | wrote that his brief in the matter of the | “Plous” claims had been filed with the | court of arbitration, and that he would | shortly return to the United States. His cablegram indicates his speedy departure from Europe. The Foote family expects Senator Stewart will arrive here within | two or three weeks. Major Frank Payson, paymaster in the | | United States army, and his wife, Mrs. | Mabel Stewart Payson, a daughter of Mrs. Stewart, went to the Foote resi-| dence this morning from their stopping- | place in San Francisco. Mrs. Dr. Will | Beattle of Stockton, a daughter ' of Mrs. Louis Aldrich of San Francisco, arrived during the day. Mrs. Aldrich, a sister of | Mrs. Stewart, is completely prostrated, | | and was unable to leave her residence in San Francisco to-day. A telegram has been recelved from Mrs. Bessie Stewart | Hooker, a daughter of Mrs. Stewart, whose home is in New York. Mrs. J. West Martin, another sister of Mrs. Stewart, who resides in Oakland, has been informed of the accident. She i1s old and quite feeble. Judge Henry S. Foote, a brother of Mrs. Stewart, who is holding a Federal appointment in In- dian Territory, 1s the only other close relative. FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. After the cablegram from Senator Stew- art had been received this afternoon there was a family council at the Foote resi- | { dence, during which the arrangements for the funeral were made. The services will be held at the Foote home, northeast corner of Thirteenth and Brush streets, to- morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. In ac- cordance with the desires of the family, and the known views of Mrs. Stewart, the services will be of the simplest character. The Rev. Robert Ritchie, rector of the Episcopal Church of the Advent, will of- ficlate. The funeral rites according to the Episcopal service will be followed. There will be no music and no honorary pallbearers. It has been decided to place the remains in the Adams family vault in Mountain View Cemetery, John Adams" tender of the use of the mausoleum hav- ing been gratefuly accepted. There the casket will rest until after the arrival of | Senator Stewart, who will decide what shall be the finad disposition of the body. Neither Mr. Taylor nor Henry S. Foote, who was with him, have suffered any se- | rious physical discomfort from the acci- | dent. ' Mr. Taylor was quite sore and lzme from brulses, and Mr. Foote suffers {from a badly swollen leg, but these are merely temporary troubles. The damaged automobile was removed from Alameda by order of Mr. Taylor to- day and will be repaired, but not used again by its owner. When the accident occurred Mrs, Stew- art had concealed on her person several | thousand dollars’ worth of diamonds, | wrapped in a chamois bdg. After her | death these were found intact, but a long coral chain which was attached to her watch is missing. Effort will be made to find the chain. It Is supposed the trinket was snapped off when Mrs. Stewart was pitched out of the machine. - Coroner Mehrmann will hold an inquest Monday night. He has made a personal examination of the scene of the accident. Among the witnesses to be summoned are Walter E. Ridley, driver of Atkins' grocery wagon, whose sudden appearance driving across Santa Clara avenue at Bay street caused Taylor to turn the automo- blle into the latter street. Taylor, Henry S. Foote and Dr. Stafford, one of the at- tending physicians, will also be called, as will other witnesses whose names have not yet been handed to the Coroner. Telegrams of Sympathy.

The morn- ing sessicn was devoted to business, the reading.of reports and the election of of- ficers. Mrs. Charles Emery of the East Oakland Political Equality Club was elected president, and other offices were filled as follows: First vice president, Mrs. Thomas H. Speddy of Alameda; sec- ond vice president, Mrs. Emma Shafter Howard; third vice president, Mrs. C. C. Hall; fourth vice president, Mrs. E. 5 Greenman; fifth vice president, Mrs. J. A. ‘Waymire of Alameda; treasurer, Dr. A. J. Patterson; corresponding and record- ing secretary, Mrs. Ella S. Mitchell; au- ditors, Mrs. I. N. Chapman and Mrs. P. R. Eastman of Alameda. During the afternoon a representative audience filled the Oakland Club audi- torlum and listened to a programme of music and clever speeches by women. Mrs. T. H. Speddy presided and intro- duced Mrs. C. E. Cunningham, who talkedv for a few moments on ““The Consumers League.” Miss Carrfe A. Whelan, presi- dent of the East Oakland club and also State corresponding secretary, gave a short address of greeting to old and new members and was followed by Dr. Doro- thea Moore, Who spoke at some length on the “Juvenile Court,” interest in which was not confined to the suf- fragists. Dr. Moore is a prominent mem- ber of the California Club of San Fran- cisco and is at the head of the “juvenile court” movement, which is now being agitated throughout the State. It was Dr. Moore who, alded by Mrs. Flower, wife of the Governor of Illinois, carried a similar bill through the Legislature of { that State in 1898. SLOSS’ BILL FAVORED. her speech this afternoon she out- lh'{:d the work accomplished in Chicago in segregating the children from the adult criminals of the police courts. There, she sald, one or two days are set aside each week for juvenile cases, and on those days the loungers and habitues of the police courts are excluded. Probation officers, whose duty it is to investigate all cases, are appointed by the judges for each district, and there is a detention home where the youthful criminals can be cared for while awaiting trial, instead of being confined in the jails. Superior Judge Sloss of San Francisco has drawn the bill which the ladies hope to have made a law by the Legislature this win- ter, and other well-known jurists and lawyers are taking an active intereat in the matter.

The arbitration court opens Monday, but the question of a postponement of the Plous fund case for reasons not connected with Senator Stewart's bereavement is regarded as not improbable. The following are the jurors summoned for the inquest: A. N. Welander, Major Fitzbogen, A. J. Bowman, N. C. White, J. E. Taylor, H. Wicking, J. Treager, A. L. Bruner, G. W. Brock and J. H. Glas.

LONDON, Sept. 13.—It is now an- nounced that Gwendolin, the nine-year- old daughter of Willlam Waldorf Astor, who died of consumption yesterday morning at Cliveden, will be buried in the graveyard of the church at Hedsor, close to Cliveden. . AR — TWO PROMINENT FIGURES IN THE CONVENTION OF THE PO- LITICAL EQUALITY SOCIETY. — Much of the success of to-day’s conven- tion was due to the efforts of Miss Mur- ray. Mrs. Martin Schultz was heard in two vocal selections by Von Stulzmar, “Vain- ka's Song” and “Love's Bargain.” She was accompanied by Miss Cordelia | Bishop. Mrs. Willlam Keith of Berkeley, who is president of the largest suffrage club in the State, made a few remarks and was followed by Mrs. Florence Jackson Stod- dard, society woman, journalist and trav- eler. ‘ ADOPT RESOLUTIONS. Mrs. Stoddard was a resident of South America for some years and she gave some interesting facts in regard to the attitude of South American women toward suffrage and all things progre: sive. In conclusion Mrs. Stoddard made an earnest appeal to women not to let their enthusiasm grow less. After short addresses by Dr. Averill, president of the Santa Clara Suffrage Club, and Mrs. A. A. Denison, curator of the soclal and economic sections of Ebell, resolutions were unanimously adopted favoring equal suffrage rigits. One of the visitors to the econvention this afternoon was Mrs. B. E. Guthridge, a relative of Sir Charles Kingston, and the first woman to vote in New Zealand. Among others present were Dr. J. E. Bar- row, Mrs. M. A. Colby, Mrs. P. Perkins, Mrs. C. J.

SEATTLE, Sept. 13.—The United States battleship Oregon did not put to sea to- day. The thick haze that spread over the sound made it Inadvisable to risk the costly warship, especially in view of the fact that the ship’'s compasses are not adjusted and there Is no pressing need for the boat. The Oregon is about 200 short of her regular crew, but her of- ficers believe she will be given a full complement on reaching San Francisco. The cruiser Boston is lying at the navy yard dock under orders to progeed to San Francisco at once, but still lacking a number of repairs that must be made by the engine-room force and without a crew to man her. —_ Knox Withholds All Information.
