He stated to Mr. Gregory that he had had luncheon | with bhis roommate on Friday and that they had returned to the railroad office | together.

Desks BEARS GOOD REPUTATION. | In discussing the strange disappearance | Chairs | of the young man yesterday Assistant Passenger Agent Gregory sald that he was at a loss for an explanation for the absence of the agent, and he added: “Pillsbury was highly regarded by every one connected with the local office. Per- sonally, I regarded him as a most trust- worthy’ fellow, a fact which he had al- ready demonstrated during his twelve months’ employment behind the ticket counter, where he handled thousands of | dollars, and was most exacting in account. | ing for the money that passed through | his hands. He was recently assigned to | | the valley agency and had been perform- | |ing his duties in a most consclentious | ! manner. The only reason I am inclined | to advance for his absence is that he has | become mentally depressed over exces- sive worrying or has met with some acci- dent.” & Pillsbury was formerly connected with |a local transfer company and received his appointment as clerk in the Santa Fe office simply on his showing of energy in the duties connected with his previous | work. LOSES WIFE AND CHILD. About a year ago the missing young man suffered the loss of his wife and | child, and their death deeply affected him, | a fact that was frequently noticed by his associates in the railroad office. Some of his friends are disposed to think that he became despondent and while In the mood went to some remote spot and killed himself. He has been working hard of late, sometimes until midnight, and this may have added to his supposed mental troubles. It was learned yesterday that he had not paild his room rent at the Russ for two months, but Mr. Gregory added to this information the statement that Pills- bury had not cashed his salary warrants | Tables, Etc.

Newhall, who forfeited hig office by overstaying his sixty days’ leave of absence. The ap- pointment of Reagan was foreshadowed in a recent issue of The Call. Reagan is at present Inspector of Street Sweepings in the Department of Works and is a Democrat in politics. He stands first on the civil service eligible list for street inspectors, Reagan was granted an indefinite leaye of absence by the Board of Public Works yesterday In order to enable him to ac- cept the office of Police Commissioner without entirely giving up his position as Inspéctor. . Reagan made verbal application to Com- missioner Casey, president of the board, for Jeave of absence. He informed Casey that his acceptance was all that was nec- essary to make him a Police Commission- er, but as the appointment in the event of Mayor Schmitz's defeat for Mayor would be only for the unexpired term of three months he desired to be at liberty to resume the duties of Inspector of Street Sweepings in case Schmitz was not successful at the polls. Casey thereupon took up Reagan's ap- plication with' Commissioner Manson and after some deliberation the two Commis- sloners decided to grant him a leave of absence. Thomas Reagan was born in Ireland, County Roscommon, in 1878, and has lived in San Francisco for the last seventeen vears. He is a member of Laborers’ Union No. 8844. He resides at 1350 Folsom street. Mr. Reagan is prominent in labor circles, having been a delegate to both the Labor Council and Building Trades Council.

AR Two Presidents Emerge From Smoke of First Day’s Battle. S S Surfeit of Officials the Casus Belli and Still Warmer Times Are Yet to Come. —_— The United Daughters of the Confed- eracy met yesterday at Century Hall for the final day of their annual convention and adjourned with the remarkable show- ing of two presidents and two registrars, and the tactics of the late Democratic convention were prayerful by way of con- trast. And this is how it happened. In this city there are two chapters of the Daughters of the Confederacy, the Albert Sidney Johnston and the Jefferson Davis, the first mentioned holding the distinction of being the ploncer chapter | on this side of the Rocklies. Of this body Mrs. Sydney Van Wyck in due time be- came president, but a cloud—and a black one—soon hoverin sight and Mrs. Van Wyck found it necessary for her peace of mind—Itkewise that of others—to re- sign. The resignation was accepted and | with the president went a large number | of members, who hadn’t yet lest the habit of secession. Then of needs they must be known among the United Daughters of the Con- | federacy, so they up and formed a new chapter, to be known by the name of | Jefferson Davis Chanter, of which Mrs. Van Wyck, to soften the balm of her wounded feelings, was elected president. So far matters moved along beautifully, until it was whispered that the new chap- ter vindicated its secession from the par- ent body upon advice administered by the national president, Mrs. Weed cf Florida, when she visited here. Now the merry row begins. Mrs. Weed says she didn't advise in the matter—or to be more ac- curate, her husband, Bishop Weed, says she didn't, and he ought to know—and the leaders of the Jefferson Davis Chap- ter say she did. Then the presidents of the two local chapters, with their respect- ive followers in this city, array the coun- try delegations for the present election | on their sides, and lo, the result—two | presidents and two registrars. Here is a line-up of the factions as shown in yes- terday morning’'s preliminary skirmish: ‘With the Sidney Johnston Chapter— three chapters, 14 votes. With the Jeffer- son Davis Chapter—four chapters, 1§ votes. And here is where the trouble arose—the superfluity of one vote, which the seces- slonists claim was illegally cast by the president, Mrs. Selden S. Wright. In fact they claim she cast two votes, which is not good form even in women's clubs— one with her chapter and one after a tie had resulted in the presidential elec- tion. BALLOT CARRIES VICTORY. Here her ballot won the coveted honor for Mrs. V. Montgomery of Los Angeles, but alas for the frailiy of earthly honors! Not more than half the convention was | on its feet at any one time during the nine hours’ session, except when a mem- | ber of the Jefferson Davis Chapter tried | to talk. Then there was trouble. The | gavel rapped loud and yet louder, while | the supporters of the deleggte who sought | to be heard clapped long and furiously :that she hold her courage—and the floor. | And thus the tide rose and fell; first one side had its inning, and then the other. Half after 4 by the town clock and no | nominations, but plenty of recriminations. | Mrs. S. R. Thorpe, first vice president and delegate from Los Angeles, tried | bravely to pour oil upon the waters_at | this late. hour, but the rulings of the chair prevented the hoped for calm. Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Voorhies and Mrs. Churchill ably ! led their cohorts, but were confronted by a phalanx that disputed every advance in the proceedings. A deadlock or an all | ! night session seemed imminent, when a motion was made by a delegate from the | by Mrs. Van Wyck, the opposition leader. | as a flag of tee was busy at its official duties. The results of their deliberations’ were in ac- cord with their instructions from home and were regularly posted upon a black- | board. Then the balloting began—and here it might be well to suppress the re- peace officer. The smoke of battle soon cleared suffi- Giently to discern that the following had been elected for the State offices—that is, President, Mrs. V. Montgomery; first | vice president, Mrs. E. M. Bowen; second vice president, Mrs. G. Smith; recording secretary, Miss Hemenway; correspond- ing secretary, Mrs. G. Daingerfield; treas- | urer, Mrs. R. E. Goswitch; registrar, Mrs. | G. Churchill; historian, Mrs. R. H. Lacy. Immediately upon reading the result of the various ballots a motion to adjourn was made and seconded by Albert Sidney Johnston members and was announced | as carried by the president without the little formality of putting the motion to | the house. With astonishing dispatch the chairman gathered her gloves and be- Jongings, and totally oblivious of twenty clamoring Jefferson Davisites, gesticulat- ing and vociferating for an appeal from the chair, she vanished into the gathering true. ELECT ANOTHER PRESIDENT. In vain had Mrs. Daingerfield tried to explain that the convent@n of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was still | in session, and there was more business before the house. In fewer minutes than it takes to write it, Mrs. Jacobs, a clever member of the secessionists, had mounted the rostrum— from which thegémn and Stripes floated serenely— and had rapped loudly for or- der. Instantly she was joined by Mrs. Daingerfield and” others, who declared that the action of President Wright in | declaring the convention adjourned with- out the proper procedure was unwar- ranted and illcgal and that the remain- ing members resume the unfinished busi- | ness and take exception from the ruling of the’chair. This motion went through the resurrected body with a rush and then the secretary made an awful dis- covery. Somebody had voted twice, and, shock- ing to relate, it was none other than the worthy president. And tbe evidence pro- duced was surely incriminating, for the secretary so testified. Virginia blood ran high; the whole assembly tried to tell at one time of the heinousness of the crime— and a motion was made amid rejoicing that the two elections—that of the presi- dent and strar—at which Mrs. Wright voted wrong, be thrown out as irrelevant, incompetent and immaterial. Then came the coup d'etat. Mrs. Van Wyek was gayly nominated for president, and was elected unanimously—by her own chapter —to become the presiding it of the future state deliberations.

A peculiar case was trled by Judge Graham yesterday. It was a suit for an | annulment of a marriage. The plaintiff was Frank Rossini and the defendants Jennie Rossini and Fred Cuppers. Both men were married to the woman within Rossini being the | first to make her his wife. A few months after becoming Mrs. Rossini, and without bothering about such a minor thing as a divorce, she became the wife of Cuppers. Rossini did not learn of the marriage until quite recently and he immediately | filed a suit to have the second marriage | annuled, claiming that at the time it was performed his wife was not in possession of her sound senses. Judge Graham granted his prayer. Mrs. Rossinl could give no lucid ex- planation of her action yesterday. She sald the only thing she could say in ex- cuse of her conduct was the fact that| Cuppers seemed to have hypnotic power | and could do with her as he wished. She sald she left her home to become the! wife of Cuppers simply because he willed that she should. She said she never cared for him, in fact had no use for him at all. Laura E. Martin wants a divorce from Richard Martin for cruelty. They were married at Stockton in 1891 and have three children. Their home is at 809 Castro street.

She also says that he is jealous and makes her life miserable by accusing her of showering her affections upon others than himself. Cruelty is one of “the grounds for di- vorce on which Della Imes is suing Will- jam A. Imes. The other two grounds are intemperance and neglect.
