Many people gathered in Har- | mon gymnasium to hear words of love | and respect for friends and loved ones | that have answered the call of the | | reaper. | This day was set apart to honor the memory of the late Joseph Le Conte and the occasion was all the more im- pressing because there had died within the vear three men who were his friends and associates—Professor Mar- tin Kellogg, Louis Du Pont Syle and | | Felicien Paget. These men’s lives and | works were touchingly referred to in| | the services by Professor William | Carey Jones, himself their friend and associate. Max Thelen, president of the As- sociated Students, presided over the meeting, which began with an invoc tion by the Rev. J. K. McLean, presi dent of the Pacific Theological Semi- nary. The list of faculey memb: and | students that have died since the last memorial day was then read by Mr. Thelen, their names being Professors | Kellogg, Syle, Paget, John Henry Dye | | { | | and Edith Putnam Dart, senior and | assistant in the library; Ralph E.

OAKLAND, Feb, 26.—The Board of Police and Fire Commissioners devoted this afternoon to a discussion of meth- ods for increasing the effectiveness of the Police Department. The discus- sion was general and no definite course of action was decided upon. “Reports had reached our ears,” said President McElroy after the meeting, “touching alleged lack of efficiency in the Police Department. No definite ac- cusations have been made, but the members of the board felt in duty bound to ascertain, if possible, what merit there might be in these com- 1 plaints. We decided that there was nothing in the situation to warrant action on our part at present.” ————— Charged With Looting Sloop, OAKLAND, Feb. 26.—Charles Tay- lor, 16 years old, has been e on a charge of stealing a suit of sails from the sloop Valkyrie, owned by O.

D. Carey, the wealthy Manxman, that he propsed’ marriage to her in 1901 and then mar- ried another, the defendant to-day en- tered a general denial. A few days ago Miss Bonne began a suit for $100,000 damages, which | she asked as balm for her blighted af- fections and compensation for the wrong done her. Not having any knowledge to the contrary, Carey as- serts for all he knows that she is a married woman. He denies that he deceived her or induced the fair per- g former on the bars to promise to mar- | ry him. g Carey in his answer admits that he was a married man during a part of | the time he knew her, but says that he was divorced in Chicago on March 4. 1901.. He denies that Miss Bonne confided in his alleged promise to marry her and having no knowledge on the subject denies that she has re- mained sole and unmarried or that| she would now be ready and willing | to marry him were he not already | married to another. Carey admits that he has some means, but modesty constrains him from admitting that he worth as much as a quarter of a million dollars, as| in the complaint, and says | his fortune does not exceed $100,000. He asserts, however, that the plain- tiff has not been damaged in slightest by her association or lack of association with him and that she is not entitled to any of his money, and as a clincher pleads that all of her claims are barred by the statute of limitations. $ Carey sa: that he is the son of Colonel Henry Carey, a British of- ficer, who served with distinction dur- ing the Crimean war. He is sole heir to a large estate in the Isle of Man, but for some time past has been liv- ing in this city in a pretty home on Thirty-fourth street ‘with' his second who, before her marriage, was a Miss Ada Conger. e SAYS KNIFE AND A PADE WERE WIELDED Piedmont Nurseryman Causes Arrest of a Fellow-Gardener Who Quar- reled Over Possessior of Plants, OAKLAND, Feb. 26.—Owing to a row over a nursery Charles German, a gardener, has been arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and disturbing the peace: The compiainant is Hugo H.

The nurseryman de- clares that when he tried to stop German his antagonist pulled a knife and afterward tried to brain him with a spade.

Grassi now deciares that the widow jobbed him by getting him to marry her after he brought his suit. By this means she saved all expense of a suit and prob- ably $1000. Mrs. Grassi had been a widow about a year. Her husband left her ‘a nice little fortune. A few months ago she wrote to Michele Grassi, a brother of her deceased husband, telling him that if he came to California she would marry him. Grassi disposed of evéry- thing he had and came to California. When he arrived here he had no money, and then Mrs. Grassi refused to marry him. He then brought suit for breach of promlu and $1000 damages. Finally she repented and married him to quash the suit. Grassi now declares he has only a wife in name and that she has refused to live with him. After the ceremony the couple took a honeymoon trip to Oxnard. They were having a delightful time until one day Mrs. Grassi excused herself, saying she was going out to sell a lot. From that moment he has not seen'his wife and sheé refuses to live with him. Grassi declares he was alone in a strange place #nd could speak but little English, and he was obliged t: sell his coat and other effects in @kder to buy a ticket to this place.

As it was two valuable horses were killed instantly, and before the grounding apparatus could be got into use the harness was badly burnt. Fortunately the broken wire did not touch any of the crew of the truck, for the current was strong enough to melt the brass end of the grounding device and it would have given short shrift to any man with whom it came in contact. The truck had been called out from its house on Seventeenth street, mear Folsom, by an alarm of fire from box at Sixteenth street and Potrero ave- nue, and as it was turning into Bryant street the hanging wire was struck in the dark. One of the horses was caught | by it under his neck and fell dead with- out a sound. The second horse was also touched by the wire, but lived for a few seconds, making the neighbor- hood resound with his fearful cries. The third horse was severely shocked, but was returned to the stable without | | any visible marks of injury. | Captain William Carew, in charge of | the truck, at once jumped to the ground on discovering the trouble with the horses and got his grounding a | pargtus in place. This stopped t current for a short time and enabled the men to get the truck away from the dead horses, The driver of t truck, Charles Thoney, and the oth: members of the crew, Lieutenant | Meyer, Tillerman Walter Nichols and Truckman M. Wright, had great difl culty in preventing the live wire from damaging the truck as well as killing themselves, and but for the grounding | device loss of life probably would have | resulted. While on the way to a fire from box 265 yesterday forenoon a fire engins collided with a wagon at the crossing of Mission and Fremont streets. The wagon was knocked into kindling wood | The man in charge of the vehicle, M. Richard, was hurled from his seat, re ceiving several lacerations on the head | and face. | Car No. 43 of the Sutter street line | ecollided at 6:20 p. m. yesterday with two heavily laden lumber wagons at | the corner of Hyde and Sutter streets The wagons were tandem with four | horses and were seen by the gripman | coming down the Hyde street hill. He rang a warning bell, but the driver | paid no attention and attempted to cross ahead of the car. The dummy | crashed into one of the wagons. The dashboard and headlight of the dummy were smashed and bent inward, Injur- ing Mose Hamburger, a passenger. —_———— Seeks Damages for Child’s Death. F. H.
