Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Nov. 5—The Portuguese colony at Santa Clara is all agog over an elopement and a tangle of relationship which the marriage makes in two fam- lles. Manuel Piva, a widower of a few months, with a family of six children, was married at midnight last night to Mary Alves. He is forty years of age and the girl is but half that old. The two families reside opposite each other on Madison street. The courtship was kept a secret. Last evening the couple appeared before Justice Harrington at Santa Clara and asked to be married. Piva had not secured a marriage license and was obliged to make a trip to San Jose for the document. It was just a few minutes before mid- night when he peturned to Santa Clara and was ready to be married. The last car was just about to leave for San Jose. Justice Herrington performed the cere- mony in just thirty seconds, by actual time, which is believed to be the record. | Mr, and Mrs. Piva then began their wed- ding journey to San Jose. A short time ago Clara Piva, a daugh- ter of the groom, married Joe Alves, a brother of last night's bride. Piva has now become the brother-in-law of his daughter and son-in-law and his wife 1s sister-in-law and stepmother of his daughter. ——e————— LAND OFFICE CHIEF CALLS ON GOVERNOR patch to The Call eclal Diepatch to The Call. 5.—An application for rain the San Jose- an Electric Railway tls on North Market i by Judge Leib of the 1is morning.

LR o NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—The features of to-day’s session of the hearing in the United States Shipbuilding case were the bitter attacks made by Lewls Nixon upon Willlam D. Guthrie, counsel for the de- fendants and representative of the in- terests of Charles Schwab, for his meth- ods of conducting cross-examination; leading questions by Untermeyer, counsei | for the complainants, as to the absence | of competition between the Bethlehem Steel Company and the Carnegie plant of the United States Steel Corporation in Government contracts for armor plate, and the entire change of front of Guthrie, who heretofore had aimed to bring out the fact that the value of constituent plants of the United States Shipbuilding Compa- ny was not overestimated. To-day Guthrie adopted a line of ques- tioning designed to show that the esti- mates of value were made by the pro- moter, the vendors and other interested | or inexpert appraisers, ‘and were practi- | cally worthless In determining the exact value of the plants and the assets of the| consolidation. n was on the stand all day. His| xamination was finished and the | ect examination partly completed. | At the opening of the afternoon session | he presented a personal protest, in which | he declared that Guthrie, in consultation | with Max Pam, had adopted a line of | questioning designed to place him in a| false and discreditable position regarding the sale of his plant to the Shipbullding consolidation. The protest was angry and bitter in tone and intimated that Guthrie had been unfalr in asking him to answer from memory questions about the finances of his company without opportunity to | look up the details, while Guthrie had had the benefit of a full investigation of the figures. By agreement of the counsel the protest was stricken from the record, but Nixon thereafter during the hearing Insisted that if he were to answer questions he should be allowed to make the necessary explanations. Besides asking Nixon about the organ- ization of the shipbuilding company, the valuations put upon the constituent com- | panies and the methods by which they were reached, Guthrie too. up the alleged withholding of dividends by the Bethle- hem company, an action which, accord- ing to the charges of Receiver Smith, con- templated the wrecking of the company.

He also brought out that Nixon had voted for the resolution for the expenditures Tor betterments. This was the means, so Receiver Smith charges, by which earnings were diverted from dividends to needless improvements. Guthrie took up figures from the finan- cial reports of the Bethlehem company to show its inability to pay dividends. Un- termeyer, from the same reports, attempt- ed to show that expenditures for better- ments and new material were excessive and that the company might well have declared a dividend had it so desired. He was questioning Nixon about the trip of examination made by Bethlehem and Car- negie officlals to determine means of im- proving the Bethlehem plant when the hearing closed for the day. The re-direct examination of Nixon will be resumed to-morrow afternoon and Charles M. Schwab may be called to the stand later In the day. HAWAIL INVITES WHITE SETTLERS Governor Dole Reviews Conditions in the Islands. —_— ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.—Governor San- ford B. Dole, chief executlve of the Ter- ritory of Hawall, expresses the opinion in his annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury that ‘“‘unless there should be a larger immigration of American set- tlers than now seems probable the pres- ent numerical inferfority of those who may be classed as belonging to the Teu- tonic race as compared with the Hawali- ans will in a few years become a still greater Inferlority as compared with the American citizens of the Hawallan, Por- tuguese, Japanese and Chinese races.” This opinion Is based on conditions in the schools. The American and European children in these schools, not including Portuguese and Porto Ricans, number 1505, an increase of only eighteen more than the previous year, while the Hawali- an, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese children in the schools number 16,299, an increase of 945. Among references in the report to social conditions in Hawaii are the following: There are many marriages between Hawalian women and white men and a few between white women and Chinamen. The oftspring of both classes of marriages are an improvement as a rule over the Hawallan in business. The Portuguese generally intermarry among them- selves. The same {s true with the Japanese. Part Hawallans as a claes are increasing, and the rate of decrease of the pure Hawaiian appears to be a diminishing one. The report says the statistics show a steady increase In the last three years in the production of sugar and an increase in the shipments outside the Territory. Coffee shipments show an Increase of 720,000 pounds over the previous year, but a decrease of 689,080 pounds compared with the year ended June 30, 191 Rice, the report says, is inevitably a diminish- ing product, both from the competition of the new rice fields of Texas and Louisi- ana and the diminishing numbers of Chi- nese in the Territory. Governor Dole says that the majority of the new settlers on the public lands last year were white men. He recommends that a limited immigra- tion of Chinese laborers to the Territory be permitted, conditioned upon their en- gaging only In agricultural, mill and do- mestic work for hire during their stay, and subject to deportation at their own expense upon their ceasing to do so. —_————— WATER WILL TRANSFORM RANCH INTO RESERVOIR Spreckels Property at Coyote Station Purchased by Bay Cities Company. SAN JOSE, Nov. 5.—The A. B. Spreck- els ranch at Coyote station, ten miles south of this city, has been sold to the Bay Citles Water Company. Possession will be given the purchaser on January 1. The price is between $90,000 and $100,000. There are 600 acres in the ranch, which was formerly the Polhemus stock farm. Mr. Spreckels has been conducting the place as a stock farm and dairy and rais- ing a large number of hogs. The stock will now be sold. The ranch, whicH is a highly improved piece of property, will form part of the site of the immense reservoir the Bay Citles Water Company is to bulld there. Between 1500 and 1500 acres will be in the reservoir, and the entire Spreckels ranch will be covered with water many feet deep. The water company has acquired immense holdings at Coyote and this last purchase, with a strip of land they are seeking to have condemned in court, will give them complete control of the big water supply there. —_———————— Explosion Scatters the Timbers.
