Winds Up the Delightful Festivities of the Ocecasion ping & 21 The Union League Club rooms in the Palace Hotel were in a blaze of glory last night. It was the occasion of the reception the club annually gives in honor of its fair friends. From early in the evening until after midnight the spacious _apartments were thronged ! with San Francisco's loveliest daugh- ters, arrayed in the daintiest and most beautiful ball gowns. In honor of the occasion the assembly room was decked with garlands of rich Oregon grape, intermingled with gorge- ous crimson poinsettas, which were clustered in luxurious fashion about the mantel and great mirror on the south wall. The early portion of the evening was devoted to a delightful entertainment of instrumental and vocal music. The ! principal feature of the programme was the violin playing of Vaclav Murdock, who has recently arrived from Aus- tralia. He is an artist of the first rank | and his two numbers, the Polonaise, by Ernst, and the Cavitina, by Raff, were received with unbounded marks of ap- probation. A Japanese troupe recently arrived from the Orient gave a number | of songs in their native tongue, and one | of their number did some fine juggling tricks. Another feature of the evening that | | brought out great apprec:ation was the | | gramme | splendid singing of the Knickerbocker | Quartet. ‘At the conclusion of the set pro- | the guests repaired to the Maple® room, where dancing was en- | joyed for several hours to th» music of a fine string orchestra. Frank W. | Marston acted as floor manager. H A delicious supper, accompanied by champagne punch, was served during the entire reception at the pleasure of | the guests. 5 | Altogether this was one of the most | delightful entertainments the club has | given and all pronounced “ladies’ night”” a complete success in every way. | There were about two hundred and | fifty present. | The following committee on club | is nights had charge of the entertain. | terday in several experiences flr\\";‘tl\ ment: A.

B T Presents Ordered Just After Marriage Are Refused Mrs. Clarke by Local Tradesmen COMPROMISE IS UNDER WAY Unhappy Woman Still Hopes for a Reconciliation With Her Newly Wedded Husband The attorneys for E. K. Clarke, whose . quiet marriage in Oakland early Satur- jday morning to Mrs. Rosalind Bower, | more familiarly known to the public |as the “Sweet Pea Girl” of Durrant | trial fame, ended in a sudden separa- i tion at the Lick House Monday, have | | taken the first step toward bringing ;the troubles of the unhappy couple to | a climax. | Yesterday Clagke's legal representa- ! tive held a conference with Attofney | 0. XK. Cushing, representing Mrs. | Clarke, and plainly intimated to the counsel on the other side that a propo- i sition to compromise the case with an absolute separation for the clubman {would be considered by the husband if made with reasonable conditions. Mrs. Clarke's attorney, however, was | not prepared to enter into any arrange- ment. In fact, he did not even give | Clarke's representative encouragement | sufficient to warrant him in expecting ! that the case would be finally settied without the annoying notoriety of a | trial. | Mrs. Clarke is still residing at the | Lick House, where, when asked last | evening if she was prepared to give her new husband a separation, she re- plied that the only condition she was | | willing to offer to him was that he | return to her and fuinil his promise made before and after their marriage, | that he would give her a home and make her life one of happiness. “When Clarke called here yesterday | for his clothes,” said the wife, “I ap- pealed to him to reconsider his deter-| mination to quit me. He answered that, it was too late; that the papers had given him a lot of notoriety, and that | he could not afford to return to me. | He added that his mother would never ] forgive him for marrying me, now that the facts of my past had become known to the world. He did not take all his belongings away from the apartments and I still hope that he will come back | to me when the influences now h(‘lng1 exerted over him have been shaken off | by him.” That Clarke, however, was not likely to change his mind was suggested yes- placed orders for garments and trinkets for her. A few hours after their mar- riage in Oakland Clarke and his hrldn; returned to this city and visited a Mar- | ket-street talloring establishment, | | its president in particular.” Members of Street Carmen's! Organization Claim Cornelius Brings Polities Into Meetings | WORKS FOR HIS OWN GAIN | Al e oy George Dingwall Sues for Rein- | statement and Ruptured Af-| fairs of Order Are Aired| - The trial of the suit of George Ding- wall, former secretary-treasurer of the | local streetcar men’s union, for a writ | of mandate compelling Local Division | No. 205, A. A. of 8. R. E. of A. to re-| instate him to membership, was com- | menced yesterday in Judge Hebbard's Dingwall claims that the executive council of the union overstepped its| Jjurisdiction in expelling him from the union. The minutes of the meetinz of the union at which Dingwall and five others were charged with conspiring {against the wunion, and especially | against its president, Richard Cor- | nelius, were read. They showed that | | the condition prior to the expulsion of | five members in the union was any- thing but harmonious. Six men—Henry Johnson, vice presi-, ! dent; George Dingwall, secretary-treas- | urer; Willlam Jane, recording secre- | tary, and C. F. Hardy and O. A. Kitt- inger, members of the board—openly opposed President Cornelius in his ef- | forts to bring politics Into the union. This issue was the whole cause for the | preferment of the charges by the ex- ecutive council against these men and | their subsequent expulsion from the | organization. In Nevember, 1902, these officers of | the union and others began to realize that Cornelius was bringing politics into the union too strongly. They ac- cused him of working for his own per- sonal gain, déing politics for a news- paper, etc.,, and claimed that he got $100 a day during the last gubernatorial election for working among the car- | men to secure their votes for his can- | djdate. They allege that the president,’| | ever gince his election to office, has | worked the union for what he could get | out of it and has cared noching for the | members, other than to make a grand- | stand play in order that he might hold | his job. | CHARGES AGAINST DINGWALL. | The specific charge against Dingwall | reads: “You are charged by the com- mittee with violation of obligation, | with meeting in secret and conspiring | against the welfare of the union and | The same | charge was made applicable to John- son, Jane, Hardy, E. Goggins and O. A. | Kittinger. The executive council met | and the date of their trial was fixed at December 13. On the night of that | date all of the men were expelled from | And a treat for the parents. Whether you come to buy or come to see. Don’t miss Hale's toy store.

Stuart of the Santa Fe, who has just returned from a conference of the traf- fic men of the road at Kansas City, de- clares that the coming season of tour- ist travel is going to doubly discount anything that the coast has ever seen. He says that the indications point to a continuation of the travel into next summer so that the close of the tourist | season will hardly be noted upon the railroads, save by the fact that the re- turning travel will increase. The peo- ple who are wanting to come to the coast are simply “up against it” in the matter of securing accommodations. Reservations have to be made weeks ahead for the Pullmans despite the fact that there has been an advance in the price of berths in this direction from Chicago. Business has been good throughout the Middle West and people who are financially fixed to make the j trip are going to come. Not only is the passenger business going to be heavy, but freight business will be so heavy that the railroads will have trouble handling it. Money is easy and business correspondingly heavy. Though the Knights Templar gathering does not take place at San Francisco until next August, the Santa Fe has thirteen chartered trains to cross the continent to the conclave. —_—— a fine assortment of 2tove from ices are most reasonabl=. 66 Third Strect. ings.

Ralston. Later he became cashier of the Oakland Bank of Savings, and later became cashier of the Bank of Sebastopol. He retired from that po- sition on account of his physical con- dition.
