The affair was planned to celebrate momentous day in Old Mexice the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, by the terms of which California be- came American territory, was signed by the commissioners of the United States and those of the vanquished country. This date, from which Cali- fornia began her phenomenal growth an integral part of the United States, has been commemorated for three years past in the delightful fashion of ldst night. lags, ferns and flowers made glad the Hall of Memories—as is indeed.the Pioneer Hall, which was thronged with the sturdy argonauts of ‘old, to whom the birth of California is an in- cident of easy memory Likewise were the women there—they who braved the treachery of the plains to reach the land of promise, arrayed in gowns that did not obtain in the day of their migration—brave women who have made history. And charming hostesses they were at this function last night, graciously assisted by their men folk and their children. The reception committee included: Mrs. Jobn M. Burnett, presidest; Mrs. John H.

He is fiitting between London and Paris at- tending to Miss Carrie Swain's suits to have the divorce of Frank Gardner | from Annie Graham Gardner set aside | and to secure a division of the Gard- ner fortune, which is sald to amount | to, about $25,000,0¢ This bit of intelflgence will awaken the interest of many Californians out- side of the coterie that is interested in the comings and goings of Attogney Redding. It will recall memorie§ of the Bella Union Theater thirty odd years ago, when the singing and @anc- ing of Carrie Swain was an attractive feature of the bill. It will also recall some of the events of Miss Swain's subsequent meteoric career.

Miss ‘Swa(n alleges also that Gardner ex- | pended a large sum of money in order | to facilitate the divorce suit of Annie | Graham and that Annie Graham sud- | denly exhibited great prosperity after the decree was issued to her. By proving these allegations Attorney | Redding hopes to establish the validity of his client’s claims. To enhance the | complications Gardner insists that he lls divorced from Miss Swain and re- | port has it that he is now marriel /to a French woman. Miss Swain's | suits for a division of the Gurdner for- | tune are pending in Paris and London. | Another interesting feature of the | romance of three continents is the an- | nouncement that Miss Swain intends |to return to America and the stage and that a New York theatrical agency {is now “booking time" for her. She intends, it is claimed, to return from | Paris to New York some time . next | month and place herself at the head of the most pretentious burlesque organi- zation that ever started on tour in the | United States. Color is given to this story by the fact that her brother, W. ! J. Wisler of 1833 Oak street, recently | received a letter from her, in which she stated she would soon return to California. Tt is not pressure of poverty that impels Miss Swain to seek a share of Mr. Gardner’s millions or to resume acting. When in this city several months ago she proved possession of much wealth.

Jackson Accused of Having ‘Wedded, Though One Woman Al reddy Called Him Husband. George A. Jackson, a teamster, years of age, was booked at the City Prison yesterday on a warrant charg- ing him with bigamy. The warrant was sworn to before Police Judge Fritz by Miss Carme’ita McLaine, 404 Ellis street, a sister of his first wife. It is alleged that Jackson was mar- ried on July 21, 1903, to Miss Annie McLaine, who was at the time a waitress in the St. Nicholas Hotel. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. 0. Groensberg of the Lutheran church on Howard street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth. He lived with her about two weeks and deserted her. On December 17, it is alleged, Jack- son, under the name of Alva C. Jack- son, procured a’ license to marry Ma- bel Nutting of 126 Eighth street, who is employed in a laundry. The mar- riage was performed on December 21 by Rev. B. M. Weeden of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. The witnesses were Mamie Hargrave, . Nutting, Min- nie Murphy and George Bocardia. Jackson, since being married the second time, has not done any work, but has lived on the money made by his wife as an employe in a laundry. ‘He was arrested on Monday night at 1126 Howard street by Detectives Re- gan and O'Connell. 22 | MANY NEW BUILDINGS PROJECTED IN JANUARY | City Architect’s Office Issues One Hun- dred and Eleven Permits for Im- provements, Costing $656,371.
