SUED ONCE BEFORE. Miss Leona Bonne neglects to men- tion in her complaint that she once be- fore sued Mr. Carey for breach of promise, at that time putting the sum of her damage at $50,000, and Mr. Carey says that he wonders if the price of her affections will increase with the years at that ratio and upset the theory that time heals all wounds. Miss Leona Bonne is still in Chicago doing her trapeze act in order to keep warm amid the blizzards of the ‘Windy City, so that she is not able to tell her own story, but between the complaint in the case and her attorney, F. J. Rus- sell of this city, a little of her elevated romance can be secured. > According to her complaint, Miss Bonne met Mr. Carey in Chicago in 1900. She was performing before count- less thousands at a Chicago theater, and out of those thousands dame Wil- liam Lucien Drinkwater Carey to tell her of a love that burned fiercer and more deeply than the usual Chicago, practical, workaday love. They were much together, she says, during which times he told her of the island that he owned or was going to own and wanted her to share the sea-kissed land with him and take all of his love. She thought the combination a good one and accepted, and then, she claims, Carey went to the island to prepare it for her coming. Somehow the love got tangled on the way, for Carey married, and drifting back to Oakland, settled down. It is true that the Carey story only agrees with this torrid Chicago state- ment in the mere dates. Carey an- nounces that he met Miss Bonne in Chicago when she was ‘“broke’; that he helped her out of her trouble out of mere sympathy, and then left her to continue his journey to his old home, where he was married. PRODUCES LETTERS. Miss Bonne would support her state- ments by copies of a number of letters sent to her attorney which she claims were written by Carey to her. One was written on board ship and appar- ently was mailed at Queenstown. It begins with “My Dear Leona,” and tells of the writer's sickness and how lonely he had been at leaving her. He and a friend had been singing “Bring Back My ‘Bonne’ to Me'—a touching play upon her name. The letter was writ- ten in February and the writer said that he would see her again in July. The next letter was a business let- be | Lucien Drinkwater Carey for e ! } IR i WEALTHY NGLISHMAN WHO IS DEFENDANT BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT. | | * ¢ writer tells her that former wife, from . Wwhom he bad béén diyorced, $1000 due on alimony, and, that as soon as he paid her $3000 more he would be clear | of her. A third letter is written from Beach House, Castleton, Isle of Man, Eng- land. In it the writer says he has been singing, “Bring Back My -Bon- nie” again. But “absence makes the heart grow fonder,” he writes, and he will'soon see her again. Then a cloud appears on their hori- he had paid hi zon, for in the next letter the writer states he has received a “horrid” let- ter from her, and any one that had mentioned Ada Conger to her only did it to make trouble. He assufes her there is nothing in it all and wants her to write him a nice letter. Ada Conger is now Mrs. William L. D. Carey. There is plenty of sentiment but no k of marriage in the letters. Miss Bonne, however, has assured her at- torney that she can show by the pro- prietor of the St. Charles Hotel in Chicago and other witnesses that he said he would marry her. PROVES A GOOD FELLOW. William Lucien Drinkwater Carey came to Oakland during the year just | past and rented a handsome house at | 477 Thirty-fourth street. He soon proved himself a good fellow about town, for he had traveled around the world and had the ease and polish of a man that had been in many places |and seen much. He had many good stories to tell of his travels, and he told them modestly. He occasionally mentioned his owner- ship of “an island off the coast of Eng- land,” but he did not boast that it was the Isle of Man, nor did he claim fortunes nor estate across.the seas. | In fact, he seemed more American than English, and when he heard of Leona Bonne's suit he swore some gcod round American “swear words” that were not imported and had never paid duty. Mr. Carey’s statement is as follows: t “This is merely a blackmailing scheme, but it won’t work with me. This is not the first time that this woman has tried to make trouble for me, for only a few months after my marriage, three years ago, she began a suit for breach of promise. 1 paid no attention to it, and I suppose that it was simply allowed to lapse. At that time Miss Bonne valued her wounded affections at $50,000, and 1 suppose if the matter runs along for another three years she will raise the amount to $150,000, increasing it $50,000 for every three years. At that rate, before I pay her a cent the total will be a large one. “The truth of the matter is that I met this woman when she was out of IN | |® work and penniless and, pitying her condition, T paid a bill that she owed at the hotel and paid her board for sev- eral weeks until she could get work. This is a fact the proprietor of the hotel she mentions can testify to.” —_——— Marriage Licenses. OAKLAND, Feb. 23.—The following marriage licenses were issued by the County Clerk to-day: Alvin B.

City and county the judi- clary of Alameda County and of Oak- land, Police Department officials and | several hundred members of the| School Department heard Judge Ben | B. Lindsey of Denver this afternoon | illuminating ad- officials, in an eloquent and dress on the work in Colorado of “The | Juvenile Court and Its Results.” The meeting was held at the Common School Assembly Hall in Lafavette | Square and was under the direction | of the Associated Charities of Oakland. | Judge Lindsey was the guest of B. H. | Pendleton, City Councilman and | president of that organization. Superior Judge Samuel P. Hall, pre- siding over the Juvenile Court in Ala- meda County, opened the meeting in a | brief address, saying: The familiar adage, “*An ounce of prevention is_worth a pound of cure,’’ appeals in its truth to sense and reason. The principle has been embodied in the law ofsthis State by which the juvenile courts have been es lished to prevent the youth from becoming criminals. The friends of the law and of our youth have the greatest hope in its adminis- | tration. We feel much encouraged after a year of operation in California. It seems to be the way to control the wayward youth. | We hove*that under the be of this law that we shall the very large percentage of crime among youth, Among people who have followed this work it Is agreed that under Judge Lindsey's ad ministration of the Juvenile Court he has accomplished eminently successful results.

Mayor Olney introduced Judge Lind- as one who would say something to encourage others to do their duty as good citizens in this important field. At the outset- Judge Lindsey de- clared that the subject of youth hand- | ling was close to the home, to the hearts of fathers and mothers, and should be close to the heart of every good citizen. He quoted from Presi- dent Roosevelt's speeches declaring that the future of the nation depend- particula se ed upon the children and said the President put the problem of their rearing at the top of all. He added: | The children present the most important problem, blem of the child is the problem I am afraid we are | prone to neglect this important proposition Now the home makes the neighborhood, the | nelghborhood makes the cities and cities make | the State. If there be complaints about the rebellion of the boy against the law it is no reflection on the boy. but it is a reflection on the parents, the aduits, on_the Stat is a reflection on anybody. The the citles to-day r class livestock. That’ statement, but we have got to put it strongly if we want | to wake up the people STATE AT FAUL Judge Lindsey declared that the | trouble with the child, that which | starts him toward criminality, must be corrected by the State, by the Judge on the bench and the officers of the | law. “But you can't make a rule for adults,” he said, ‘“that will control children. Yet that is what the State has been doing for hundreds of years.” Judge Lindsey quoted freely from records of Eastern cities showing the alarming increase in crime among the youth. He discussed the relations of the State and of parents to the prob- lem and asked: What about the shameful, criminal, careless State? The State must meet this problem of the child_delinquent as a wise and loving parent. Now as to the Ju enile Court, the theory is not how many does our system cor- rect, but does it correct more than the old system does? This court is an effort by the State to deal more Intelligently with the prob- lem. It is to correct rather than to punish In this work we must have the co-operation of the parents and the schoolteachers. It will be a miserable failure unless we wake up from the Judge on the bench down through the police to the parent. Judge Lindsey enlivened his address with much anecdote of his experiences with wayward youth and of the success in method. He denounced the police and criminal court operations as man- ufacturing criminals. In the end he appealed for intelligent and earnest co-operation of teachers, citizens and officers of the law to advance the plans for better control of the way- ward young. After the address Judge Lindsey was the guest at an informal recep- tion at the Nile Club. This evenihg he dined with President Pendleton of the Associated Charities, Miss C. Anita Whitney, probation officer of the Juvenile Court, and others who are interested in the operation of the law in this county. —_———— Grand Jury Meets. OAKLAND, Feb. 23.—The Grand Jury was in session this morning and had under consideration the matter of the removal of certain fire hydrants by the. Contra Costa Water Company from the Fruitvale district. It is al- leged that they are not the property of the water company. City Attorney McElroy and Superintendent of Streets Ott were called and examined as to the efforts they had put forth to keep the sidewalks clear in front of build- ings in course of construction. —_———— Innocent Man Goes Free.
