CARMEN'S CASE 15 ON ARGUMENT Attorneys Discuss Cost of Living in San Francisco. Counsel for Employes Claims That Present Wage Rate Is Too Low. & B NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—Arguments in the arbitration proceedings between the Unit- ed Rallroads of San Francisco and their employes over the wage and hour ques- tion were begun here to-day before Com- missioner Oscar Strauss, Patrick Cal- houn and W. D. Mahon. Congressman E. J. Livernash, for the men, urged that the cost of living in San Francisco had since April, 1902, increased 32 per cent; that wages in other employ- ments had correspondingly increased, and the street carmen’s wages, alone unin- creased, were Inadequate to maintain the American standard of living in California. ‘Wages and cost of living in other cities | should not be considered and he declared that the consideration of testimony of this- character and the determination by the commission of a wage rate on the ba- sis of the unchecked law of supply and demand would mean a death blow to the arbitration of labor disputes, trades unionism standing for a necessary check upon this law. The income of the com- pany is so great, he said, that it can grant the increase and still retain an equitable return on its capital and this consideration should determine’ the com- Mission’s ruling. A. A. Moore, for the company, sald that Livernash’'s poeition was based on the proposition that. a man ip any locality has. the right to fix his own standard of living; to demand a corrésponding rate of wages and to exclude others from tak- ing their places by boycott, intimidation or otherwise. He classed the statement of a per cent increase in the cost of living™as “nonsense,” and sald that the Ban Francisco street car employes were already recelving the highest wages re- ceived anywhere on the Pacific Slope. The increase in th& cogt of living, said Moore, did not exceed 3 per cent In any event, while a rearrangement of the runs had increased wages 17 per cent. The street car service does not require skilled labor, but unskilled Intelligent labor, only three to seven days being necessary to learn the work, and the wages and con- ditions were so attractive as to draw men constantly from other occupations in San Francisco. He introduced testimony to show that the wages paid were high enough so that the men could save money. —_— e Stanford to Challenge Nevada.

Admits That They Aided Him “When He Was Looking | for a Wealthy Bride. e BERLIN, Oct. 20.—Count von Larrisch- Moennich, an Austrian nobleman, in tes- tifylng to-day against the syndicate of money lenders who are accused of at- tempted extortion, sald that immediately | after his wedding at Buffalo with Mary Hatterfield of Pennsylvania in June, a New York bank sent him a draft for $50,- | 000 forwarded by the syndicate, which he refused to pay. This, the Count con- tinued, was the beginning of persecutions by the money lender group, which was composed of four merchants and six mortgage agents, of whom Ernest Rosen- til and Ludwig Zinner are directors of a savings bank. The draft was based on one of the several notes which the Count | signed in 1900, aggregating $250,000, pay- | able on condition that the married one of | tMree young Countesses von Faber of Nu- remburg (daughter of Baron von Faber, the famous pencil manufacturer), each re- puted to have a dowry of $20,000,000. After giving the money lenders the promissory notes the Count went to Wies- | baden to court one of the Faber girls. They discouraged his advances and later, at his own expense, the Count went to America and eventually married Miss | Hatterfleld. On motion of counsel for the defense the case was postponed in order to summon witnesses from America. Count von Larrisch informed, the press | to-day that the Countess,is in Vienna; that she knew all about the case, and | that she had known about it before their marriage. The Count classed as “absurd” some of the statements published in the | United States that the Countess intended | to sue for a divorce. TELEGRAPH NEWS. | ST. PAUL, Oct. 20.—L. J.

LEADING SUSIYESS COLLEGE OF, THE 3 4 WEST, . Established 40 years. Write AT DINNER HOUR Big Haul Is Made in a Western Addition Residence. The residence of John A. Mason, a well known civil and mining engineer at 3701 | Washington street, was entered by bur- glars of the porch climbing variety early Monday morning. While the family was | dining the thieves entered through a sec- ond story window and carried away jew- elry valued at $1695. According to the story told by Mason at police headquarters he discovered the crime soon after 7 o’clock in the evening. About that time the family arose from dinner and, going upstairs, were surprised to find that.doors leading into Mason’s and his daughter's rooms had been locked from the inside. The but- ler was called and he secured a ladder, on which he climbed to one of the outer | windows. When the doors were opened and the rooms lighted a sorry condition of affairs was found. . Everything was in | disorder, the apartments having been thoroughly ransacked. Mason found that the burglars had searched both rooms and had taken jew- elry of high value from each. Among | the articies stolen are a turquoise and diamond marquise ring valued at $200, a diamond crescent pin valued at $300, a pearl bracelet valued at $200, a lady’s open face watch valued at $100, a chate- | laine valued at $30, a coronation pin with | diamonds, rubles, pearls and sapphires, valued at $150; a gold locket valued at $75, a coral necklace valued at $600 and a gold medal valued at $20.. The police found that the burglars had climbed a porch at the front of the house and, after having passed over & short ledge, opened a window and entered. There is no clew yet as to who the of- | fenders are, but they are considered ex- pert at their business. Several detectives have been detalled on the case, —_—— Gives Song Recital.

BOSTON, Oct. 20.—Terry MecGovern, former featherweight champion of the world, was given the decision over Jimmy Briggs of Chelsea to-night after a hard fifteen-round battle before the Criterfon Athletic Club. For ten rounds the ex- champion seemed to have lost his old- time cunning, and even a favorable de- cision for him seemed doubtful. Toward the end, however, superior ring general- ship told the story, and he had the Chel- sea boy completely at his mercy. During the last four rounds McGovern administered terrific punishment, but he was unable to land a decisive blow, and as the final bell found both men on their feet, a decision was given on points. At the start McGovern invited in-fight- ing, rushing into clinches whenever pos- sible, but he fared badly at this game, and received a severe pummeling during the early part of the battle. Briggs was at his best at this style of fighting, and raiged blow after blow upon McGovern's wind and neck in every clinch. In the breakaway McGovern seemed weak, and well directed blows In the fourth and ninth rounds sent him to the floor. At the end of the tenth, when it seemed ‘that the éx-champion had an almost in- surmountable handicap to overcome, he adopted an-open style of fighting and had everything his own way until the end. ——————— 0ld Policeman Dead.

Judge Seawell yesterday annulled the marriage of Morris Rosenberg to Bertha Rosenberg on complaint of the former's father, George Rosenberg. Rosenberg, who is a promising young artist and the protege of several wealthy wom- en here. was not of age when the wed- ding took place at San Jose in August of last year. During the trial of the suit several months ago Mrs. Rosenberg sought to prove that the marriage was legal be- cause young Rosenberg had lived with her after he became of age. She testi- fied that after the marrfage they came to this city and lived together for two weeks, and that after he left her and went to Berlin to study music she fol- dowed. him and lived with him there for ten months. From there she went to ‘Warsaw, where, she says, they were to- gether for almost a year. Corroborative evidence was lacking, however, with the result that the Rosenbergs succeeded in getting the young people separated. A fow days ago Timothy Danaher, coachman for Carleton C. Crane, local agent of the New York Central Railroad, | sued Bridget Danaher for-divorce on the ground of intemperance. Yesterday Mrs. Danaher answered her husband’s com- plaint.

Mrs. Danaher says that elghteen months ago she discovered that her hus- band was smitten with the charms of the governess in the Crane family.
