A young couple fooled an old one at Ukiah this morning and came to this city this afternoon and were married by Justice of the Peace Quinn. The young groom gave his age as 22 and his name as Frank H. Scott. His bride is Miss Alice M. Howard, and she is just 19. Her fam- ily lives in Ukiah and made strenuous objections to the match upon the gen- eral grounds of the couple’s youthful- ness and the inability of the graom to take up the responsibilities of the married state. The young people met the difficulty by eloping. While waiting for the Justice to come to perform the ceremony, Miss Howard said: My parents would not give their consent to our getting mar- ried, so we just came away without letting them know anything about it.” The young husband said: “My peo- ple liev at Anaheim and we are going to Los Angeles this evening. From there I am going to take my wife to my father’'s home. “I have been employed in Ukiah for some time. We wanted to get mar- ried up there, but her father and mother would not give their consent, s0 we just got aboard the train with- anything about it. I guess it’s too late now to care, as the deed is done.” L e Children Enjoy Entertainment.

A young woman whose identity unknown was attacked by a man ia | the university grounds while going to | ber home at noon yesterday. The fiend | had evidently singled out his intended | vietim, as he lay In wait in a path usually taken by the young woman in | golng toward North Berkeley. Before | she could escape he grabbed her about | the walst and tried to drag her with | him. She was a maten for him, how- | ever, and struggled and screamed so | hard that he was at lat glad to re- | lease his hold and allow her to go. | The storv of the asc_ult was cited | by Trustee M. L.

Rich- ards, the choice of the citizens’ bond gommittee for chairman, will in a few days announce the names of the gentle- men of his selection for the eight sub- committees that are to investigate and report upon the bond issue proposi- tions. As Mr. Richards is not personal- ly acquainted with the qualifications of the committeemen, he does not know how to distribute them so that the best results will be obtained and he will be | assisted by Thomas Rickard, president of the Board of Trustees, who selected the whole committee of forty citizens. These sub-committees are expected to begin work immediately and be ready to report at the next meeting of the | committee on the first Monday in Feb- ruary, which will leave ample time to | carry on thorough investigations. “It is really too early to say any- thing about the work of the commit- “But with the help of Mr. Rickard I will ap- point committees that will collect data on the different items proposed for the bond issue that will be valuable .as campaign material, if. nothing else. There can be no doubt that the city is in need of all-the improvements spoken of at last night’s meeting, but unless the greatest care is exercised in keep- ing the proposed bond issue down, the people will not vote for it. The great- es* argument that will be used agalnst the bonds will be the burden it will add to the already heavy taxes, a matter which was the theme of several ad- dresses last night. Not the least important sub-commit- tee will be the one on taxation. It will be the duty of this committee not only to ascertain the cost that will be en- tafled by the bonds, but to examine into the proposition of consolidation with Oakland and Alameda into a city and county government. The city and county gevernment is gaining converts even in Berkeley, though a short time ago the people were for an independent city. This change of heart and thought is being brought about by the argument that the taxes would be re- duced at least $1 on the $100 valuation if the cost of government is reducad. The city, county and State taxes in Berkeley this year amounted to ‘$2 57 on the $100 valuation, which in many property owners’ cases meant paying double the amount of taxation as last year. If it can be shown that at least a dollar will be lopped off this tax rate by consoMdation, there will be a rapid change of sentiment in regard to keep- ing Berkeley a separate city. At any rate it will be the important duty of the sub-committee on taxation to pub- lish figures that will show the advan- tages or disadvantages of Yonsolida- tion. | Police Commission Hears How He 1 Quelled a Labor Disturbance on Taylor Street. Mayor Scfimitz attended the meeting of the Police Commissioners last night and took a deep interest in the trial of Policeman James Fogarty. The officer is charged with having beaten one Sol 8. Levitus during a free-for-all fight in front of a restaurant at 351 Taylor street. The testimony was to the ef- | i fect that H.

Tappan Resents Insinuation of Bias Made by Attorney During Trial Sl TALKS 'OF CASE FIXING T IR Warns Barrister That if He Repeats Offenses He Will Encounter Serious Trouble SR ALAMEDA, Dec Attorney How- ard K. James aroused the judicial ire of City Justice R. B. Tappan this morn- ing during the trial of Henry James, the boy charged with émbezzlement, by insinuating that the court had dis- played bias in the ¢ and as a result the offending lawyer received a verbal castigation that was trying while it lasted “You have been fixing and endeavor- ing to fix petty ca: James, so long that now when you realize that you have failed to fix this case you become enraged and insulting to this court and to the attorney for the defendant, Judge A. F. St. Sure,” said Justice Tappan, “I believe that the time has come when your peculiar metheds should be exposed and if you ever ap- pear before me again and pursue the tactics that you rave during this trial you will bring serious trouble upon vourself. I am satisfled In my own mind that this action was brought by you to scare this defendant into pay- ing you $10. You have failed to make good any of your accusations agalnst the young man and the case is dis- missed.” Attorney James admitted that he had not proven the allegations he made as the complaining witness when he swore that his namesake was In the employ of J. D. Rogers and that he had em- bezzled $10, and evinced a remarkadle willingness to have the whole matter dropped. Henry James' legal repre- sentative, Judge St. Sure, clearly brought out that his client had never been in the employ of Rogers and ihat he had never embezzled any money from Rogers, although he had borrowed various small sums, which he paid back in due time. —_———— LABOR UNIO ” THEIR DIFFERENCES ase Joint Council of the Two Great Car- penters’ Organizations Formed in This City.
