Dummy No. § of the Union street cable line crasi into car No. 414 of the Powell street t night shortly before 10 o'clock at Mason and Union streets. The dummy was in charge of Gripman Bar- rett. Car No. 414 was in charge of Con- W. Montgomery and Gripman T Frank Stegeman. ductor It was a miracle that no one was se- riously injured. An aged lady, Mrs. Gor- don of 1521 Powell street, fainted from fright, and a young lady whose name could not be ascertained had her ankle sprained There were few people on either of the cars at the time of the accident, oth- erwise the list of injured might have numbered more. One of the gripmen re- ceived & black eve. According to the story of Conductor Montgomery the Union street dummy, which w ning alone, failed to sound any w ng. ““We have the right of way,” he said, “on account of the steep ade between Green and Union streets »d also because we have to release the grip and glide over the crossing with the momentum we gain in coming down the hill. The Union street cars have to come to & full stop, as it is impossible for us to do so. Last night the gripman sound- ed the gong repeatedly e cro g- 1 heard no bell from the other car and did not see the dummy until it was within ten feet of us.” Gripman Barrett claimed that he re- leased the grip preparatory to letting the Powell street car pass, that in some un- explainable way it again became attached to the cable and before he could let it 8o again he had collided with the other car. - The crashing of breaking glass and the rending of the timbers in the side of the | car runm into c the neighborhood. on the two cars and many of that manner. cred ar ed great excitement in The men and women jumped for their lives A large crowd soon gath- i wrecking crews from the car barne endeavored to replace the vehicles | on their respective tracks.

Peirce, associate professor of botany and plant physiology in Stan- ford University, delivered a profound lec- ture last evening before the members of the Academy of Sciences on the relations of land and water plants to their sur- roundings. Dr. Peirce showed that the plants iiving on land differed from those | living in fresh water and in the sea. He demonstrated that the iand plants were stronger as well as much more compli- cated than water plants because of the great diversity of conditions by which they were surrounded. He also spoke of the resisting power of the plants of the sea, which withstood the buffeting of the water and maintained their strength to cling to the rocks against the sea’s great power. Those very same plants, said Dr. Peirce, could be taken and easily torn in shreds by the human ha THE OLD RELIABLE on approaching | them received bruises in| The Powell street car was turned over | Hall was crowded to the doors | M.

Moxey tried hard to be the blushing bride when she entered Judge Coffey’s court with her athletic boy husband yesterday morning to defend her sanity against the attack made upon it by her daughter, Mrs. Alice Mandeville of Boston. The giddiness was abundantly in evi- dence, and the langulshing looks of un- bottled love as well, but somehow the blushes would not come. Even when the silly nothings at the core of her belated romance were laid bare by the scalpel of an unfeeling inquisitor there was no sign of confusion. Just a merry giggle and a swift glance of tender meaning in the direction of her Moxey was all. The courtroom was crowded with spec- tators, most of whom were statuesque physical culture females and comfortable lcoking men of uncertain years, with more hair on their chins than on their craniums. “Professor” Hoover was als')J there, as bland and smooth as one of his own patented genuflexions. He had little or nothing to say after his first courtly greetings of carefully measured grace, | but he was ever the center of a flutter- | ing flock of believers in his fad. | Young Moxey, however, scemed to have lost his wonted buoyancy, and a stubborn | frocwn frequently clouded the love light in hiz eyes, while his thin lips settled into a hard, straight line that was but rarely broken by a surface smile when his dot- ing wife told flippantly of their wooing. Through it all sat the plaintiff daugh- ter, cool, calm and unylelding in manner, but every now and then a pained look crept into her wide, quiet eyes, or a hot flush mantled cheek, temple and brow. Mrs. Moxey herself was the first wit- ness called, and she seemed to enjoy it | all, quite as much as the spectators. All | morning and a greater part of the after- noon she was subjected to a rigid exam- | ination, but her answers were prompt and to the point in most cases. Her manner was pert, even flippant at times, but, on the whole, she made a very good witness for herself. She could remember dates and incidents of her life for many years back, but her memory was very hazy and uncertain regarding the occasions when Moxey was with her. | HOURS SPED SWIFTLY BY. | She knew when she met him, when she | married him and when he came to her, | but she forgot when he left her. The hours passed all too swiftly for remem- | brance when he was with her. When | | asked if she understood the nature of the | | proceedings brought against her she re- plied very sharply: “I think my daughter wants to get my | property—or rather the property I gave | to Mr. Moxey. This property consists of | a four-story bullding on Summer street, | Roston, worth about $150,000, and 209 acres of timber land in Mendocino Coun- | ty, worth $30,000. During the last year I received $5000 from my Boston estate and | raised $5000 more by mortgaging the tim- ber land, but it is all gone now.” What became of it?"” “We spent it. Half of it was used in | gathering tanbark on the timber land, | and the rest I spent on myself. It costs me a great deal to live.” | *“How much money did you give Mr. Moxey?” ““I never gave him any money, only the land and the property in .Boston.” “When did you first meet Mr. Moxey?" “Last Janvary. I was introduced to him at Hoover Hall.” “When did you become engaged?” “On February 22. We were sitting in the sand on the beach “Pretty cold, wasn't it?” | “If it was we didn’t notice it.” “Who proposed?” During the loud titter that swept the courtroom Mrs. Moxey's attorney raised | { a vigorous objection, but she paid no at- | tention and answered with a laugh that | had no touch of shyness in i “I think both of us did.” The elderly bride then told how she had given Moxey the timber land on July 1 and the Boston preperty on the morning of their wedding, July 14. Moxey, she said, had never asked her for this. She had given it to him as a surprise, théugh | Moxey’s friend, Professor Hoover, had drawn up the deed and later took it to Boston to be recorded. Up to this time she had kept her marriage a secret from her relatives. | WENT INTO SANITARIUM. At this time came up the question of age, which was skillfully evaded until she thoughtlessly testified that she was 23| years of age when she married her first husband in Swampscott, Mass., in 1871 Ten years later, she admitted. she went mained there for five years. She denied | that her sanity was under question at | the time and declared that she went there | willingly, though she had been examined PR R R) WILL KBOLISH -~ BRANCH OFFICE 3 American Cycle Manu- facturing Company to “ Try New System. | The San Francisco branch of the Ameri- can Cycle Manufacturing Company, which i is located at First and Mission streets, | will be abolished, and agencies will be | Biven to territorial jobbers. The American Cycle Company was put in the hands of a receiver last August and since that time various methods have been tried to reduce the expenses of t'c company. The latest system inaugurated is doing | away with the branch offices, and busi- ness is being conducted through territorial Jjobbers, which has been tried in many parts of the United States. This system has proved less expensive and more effi- cient, J. P. Fogarty, representative of the American Cycle Company, arrived in this city last Friday from Chicago. He is here for the purpose of abolishing the present branch office and to install territorial job- bers. Oliver C. Hutchings, former manager of the San Francisco branch, has been re- called, and will probably return to Chi- cago. Mr. Fogarty states that the work of abolishing the branch office and installing territorial agents will be rushed through, but it will be two months before the sys- tem will be in order. Later a change will be made in the management of the Amer- ican Cycle Company, and it is likely the States will be divided into two sections, the East and the West. Each section will have a head office, | | ool By e Gift of a Fortune| ] b i CRROTHERS . 78S AL ! /IANDEVILLE I THE BOY HERO OF AGED MRS.

There were no bars on the windows and she was under no re- straint. After that she visited Europe several times and went around the world once. There was a companion with her, but Mrs. Moxey paid her own bills and man- aged her own business. Judge Thomas L. Carothérs of Ukiah next took the stand and told of his ac- quaintance, both in business and socially, with Mrs. Moxey, whom he had known for ten years as Mrs. Pniilips. As a re- sult of this acquaintance he believed her weak-minded, fickle and absolutely in- REGOVERS HIS DAUGHTER'S 00T Hei)bard ' Decides Suit of Francis Cutting in His Favor. Judge Hebbard decided yesterday that Francis Cutting of the Cutting Packing Company is the rightful owner of bonds worth $50,000 set aside by him for the benefit of his daughter, Isabella, upon her marriage to Harold Courtenay several years ago in England. The marriage was subsequently annulled in New York after a suit brought by Courtenay, who claimed that at the time Miss Cutting became his wife she was insane. When Cutting placed the bonds in the name of his daughter he stipulated that she should enjoy the income therefrom during such time as she remained with Courtenay as his wife. After the marriage was an- nulled he brought suit to recover the bonds, the action being opposed by Mary N. Paterson, Mrs. Courtenay’s guardian, and Courtenay, both of whom claimed that Mrs. Courtenay was entitled to the income from the bonds. In his opinion Judge Hebbard holds-that the contract under which his daughter received the income was annulled by its own terms and also by reason of the annulment of the marriage. Oak Leaf Social Club. s The Oak Leaf Social Club celebrated its first anniversary last Saturday even- ing with a bonbon party at Mission Par- lor Hall.

His explanation that one reason for his belief was her failure to follow the coun- | sel of her lawyer caused another laugh. Esther Hoover, a sister of ‘the physical | culture man, proved a tough proposition for both . sides. She really. couldn't re- member anything but her name and final- | ly confessed that she was too frightened to think of anything. Judge Coffey asked | if it was he who frightened her, and she | stammered a hesitating ‘“yes.” | “I didn’t know that I—but never mind; you're excused,” said the court, conceal- ing a flush of embarrassment behind his hand. An adjournment was then taken until this morning. OVER VESSELS Will Maintain a Strong £quadron in Yankee Waters., . Among the arrivals at. the Occidental is Fleet Surgeon C.

He announced yesterday that commencing with the first of next year. the Japanese navy would send a squadron to be sta- tioned in American waters. He said: “Next year Japan will send abroad its first fleet as a permanent unit. It will be stationed on the Pacific Coast of America. The headquarters of the fleet will be at Esquimalt in British Columbia, the naval station of our - ally, Great Britain. The fleet will consist of three or more first-class warships and a num- ber of smaller vessels. “By the formation of a fleet in Ameri- can waters we intend not only to pay a compliment to our very good friends, the American people, but also to indicate to the world that Japan's position as a na- tion does not exist only on paper.’” — Thursday Is Drawing Near.

Members of .Party Say They Were Unjustly Insulted. ————— The Knights Templar banquet at the Palace Hotel last Saturday night was an imposing affair, but, like almost every gala occasion, morsel for gossip, the foundation for which is generously termed “an unpleas- ant incident.” While the feasting and toasting were running along with merry swing a party of prominent gentlemen and their | ladies saw fit to leave their seats and go elsewhere to finish the evening’s enjoy- ment and incidentally their feast. The conservative element in the organization are now shaking their heads and saying, “Too bad,” but some of the folks who left the bancuet hall are wrathy and claim | Knight of the order. However, it will all blow over, as ‘‘un- pleasant incidents” generally do, but' just at present there are several prominent gentlemen who were numbered among the party that feel that Sir Knight John Ton- | ningsen made a bad, blunder when he came up and ordered them to keep quiet or leave the festal board. PARTY LEAVES ROOM. The incident occurred when Reuben H. Lloyd was making his eloquent remarks. Those to whom it is alleged Tonningsen addressed his remarks felt that they had been insulted and they left the room without further parley. Clerk of the Su- preme Court-elect Frank C. Jordan, Sir Knight Jackson Crooks, Harry Mosher, the Oakland banker; Elmore Leffingwell, president of the Press Club; Scott Wilson and Oscar Tolle were numbered among the party that left the room on account, they claim, of the alleged insult directed to them by Tonningsen. All save Jordan and Tolle were accompanied by ladies, and the gentlemen say, “There’s the rub.” “If the ladies had not gotten up from their seats and left the room,” remarked one of the party yesterday, ‘‘we men folks | would have been inclined to look upon the matter as an ordinary social blunder. They took the matter to heart, however, and left the place, and the gentlemen fol- lowed themn.” The members of the party assert that there was no unnecessary noise and say that theirs was one of the nicest and most quiet party in the hall. “Tonningsen's words were uncalled for,” said Mr. Jordan in discussing the matter last night. “I had never attended a Knights Templar affair before and was pleased to accept an invitation accorded Mr. Tolle and myself by Colonel Robert | ‘Wieneke and his wife. GUESTS WERE QUIET. “We were sitting at their table and several of the gentlemen who occupied the table back of us, and with whom I subsequently left the room, beckoned me | to join them for a few moments. I ex- cused myself to Colonel and Mrs. Wieneke and joined Mr. Mosher and his party to arose to speak, and never having heard him speak, I was naturally all attention. Our party was particularly quiet. The entire room was for that matter. A few minutes later I was thunderstruck when the gentleman stepped up to our table and made his remarks about being quiet. The ladies in the party instantly became insulted and left the room. We were nat- urally inclined to overlook the exceeding- ly regrettable incident, because we felt it was. only a case of somebody making a mistake. I regret the occurrence exceed- ingly, and I believe that it was a thought- less act on the part of Tonningsen. Per- sonally I was inclined to say nothing about the matter if it had not been so unjustly commented upon in an evening paper.” MINISTERIAL UNION MEETS. Arrangements Made for Reception to Rear Admiral Kempff. The Rev. Dr. E. E. Baker read a paper at the meeting of the Presbyterian Minis- terfal Union yesterday morning on *The Theology of Ritschi.” The Rev. T. F. Burnham announced that arrangements had been made for the reception to Rear Admiral Kempff. The reception will take place next Monday afternoon, November 24, in the Occidental Hotel, beginning”at 1 o'clock. Preceding the luncheon will be an in- formal gathering and addresses will be delivered by Professor C. S. Nash, D. D., | on “The Puritan in American Histor: and on ‘“‘Scotch-Irish in American Life,” by the Rev. Dr. Hemphill. The Rev. J. | fessor Hiram Van Kirk and the Rev T.| F. Burtham will also deliver addresses. Rear Admiral Kempff will be introduced by Rear Admiral Miller, commander of the Mare Island Navy Yard. At the con- clusion of the luncheon the whole of the party will sing ‘“America.” A discussion of “Evangelistic Work— How to Evangelize the World,” was con- tinued by the Methodist ministers yester- day. The subject was opened by the Rev. Dr. Paddock, who took occasion to say that revival meetings, while successful in some parts, were no longer the most ef- fectual means of spreading Christianity. —_———— SIX-YEAR-OLD BOY KILLED BY A CAR Body Dragged Forty-Two Feet Under the Wheels Before the Vehicle Is Stopped. Elwood Dennis, a 6-year-old boy, whose parents live at 257 Minna street, was run over and instantly killed at 2:3) o'clock yesterday afternoon by an electric car on | Fourth street. Harry Delholm of $6i ! Market street, who will be a witness at the inquest, informed Deputy Coroner Fennell that the child was crossing the street when the car came along at full speed, knocking down thé boy and drag- ging him forty-two feet by actual mea- surement. The head of the victim acted as a brake and stopped the car at that point.

'STAMVHS 204 | BRI Gl SRS, SOrC R A S RSN A= Sy SR ONE NEAR-LINEN SHEET OUTWEARS TWO OTHERS, GHINESE CLOSE CAMBLING DENG All Clubs Cease Opera- tions With Advent of Cook. Tkere is trouble and turmoil in China- town. For the first time since the Celes- tials landed on the shores of California there is no gambling in the quarter where they mostly foregather. This has been the case ever since the new squad under the charge of Police Sergeant Cook has been patrolling the district. The lights still burn in the gambling house pand the lookouts sit as of yore with a hand on the rope that springs the bolts which ad- mit to the upper room, but up there ev- erything is quiet and dreary. A few hab- itues sit around the benchs discussing the unfavorable outlook and conjecturing over the many and confused rumors that keep the Chinamen guessing. No brown arm manipulates the rcd which separates the coins two by two in the fantan game to determine whether or not the number is odd or even. The stacks of gold and silver at the clerk’s. desk have disappear- ed. The jabber of the players as they discuss the issue of the game is now only a memory. Sergeant Cook has come to town. Why his advent has created such a panic is a mystery. He went there armed with practically the same instructions that have been given to every Chinatown gquad. So far he has made no more than the ordinary amount of arrests. But for some reason the gamblers fear him. He was stationed in the’quarter once before, some ten years ago, and his strenuous measures instilled fear into the hears of the Celestial law-breakers. Other sergeants have followed him, some more lenient and some more severe, but gam- bling was never seriously interrupted un- til nof Hitherto when the players were caugh¥ they paid their fines and resumed operations. In Chinatown the discussion covers ev- ery\ possible solution of the question. So of the gamblers say that the Six Companies are behind the closing; one tcng accuses the other of jobbery; the new watchmen claim it was the old watchmen who instigated the movement; the, old watchmen say the new ones are responsible; some Chinamen say the Po- to give Sergeant Cook $10,000 if he suppresses all gambling in Chinatown for one month and a thousand other stories are told in the alleys, lodging-houses, stores and res- turants. Only the one fact remains that gambling has ceased entirely. Chief Witt- man merely says: “My orders to the new squad were to suppress gambling in Chinatown and I am very glad it has succeeded.” This is the season of the year when the harvest of the gamblers is heaviest. The quarter is crowded with iaborers return- irg from the fields and fisheries, and it is a recognized conclusion that most of' their earnings will be lost over the gam- ing tables. Therefore the gamblers are Geubly solicitous. What ‘the outcome will be remains to be seen. The foment over the matter may result in a deadly eruption and a tong war, in which case the new squad will have plenty of work to do. FORMER CHIEF LEES TO GO TO DELAWARE He Will Bring the Witnesses From There for Mrs. Botkin’s Trial. District Attorney Byington when asked Vesterday about the dispatch that ap- pearedgin yesterday’s Call from Wilming- ton, Del., as to the approaching trial of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin for the murder of Mrs. John P. Dunning and “her sister, Mrs. J. D. Deane, by means of poisoned candy sent from here. to .Dover, Del., where the ladies were residing with their parents at the time, said that no definite time had yet been fixed for the second trial. “4 have been consulting with Judge Cook,” said the District Attorney, “but a date has not vet been fixed. It will, however, be in the near future. We have ccme to the conclusion that it will be to the advantage of the prosecution to send ex-Chief Lees to laware as soon as ne bas sufficiently recovered from his pres- ent illness to collect the witnesses and accompany them to this city. He is thor- oughly familiar with all the facts of the case and knows just what is wanted.” The District Attorney is amused at the fdea that the defense will attempt to prove that the death of the two women more than four years ago was not due to arsenical poisoning. —_———— Minor Held to Answer.

Frank Woods, allas “St. Louls Frank,” who was sentenced to be hanged by Judge Cook Saturday for the murder of Police- man Eugene C. Robinson on Valencia street, near Sixteenth, on the morning of January 21 last, appeared in court yes- terday to hear the date fixed for the ex- ecution of the sentence. The Judge-fixed the date for Friday, January 30. Attor- ney Whelan, who represents Woods, ask- ed for a stay of ten days, but the Judge declired to grant a further stay than five days. Woods was calm and smiling and it was said that his confident demeanor arises from his belief that he will be granted a new trial by the Supreme Court. The retrial of William Kauffman, alias St. Louis Fat,” for the murdef of Robin- son was comkmenced before a new jury in Judge Cook’s court yesterday morning. The two alternate furors sat on chairs immediately in front of the jury box and in the event of one of the jurors becom- ing sick, as was the case with Juror Da- vid Jacobl at the former trial, one of them will be substituted. Kauffman con- tinues to smile and take a languid interest in the proceedings. He is d.fended by Atterney Schooler and Assistant District Attorney Alford conducts the prosecution. Rapid progress was made yesterday with the examination of the witnesses and when court adjourned at 4 o'clock as many had testified as on the first three days at the previous trial. All thelr tes- timony was a repetition of wiat was pub- lished at the former trial. The witnesses examined were Corporal George W. Russell, Dr. L. D. Bacigalupi, Dr. J. F.
