For hours to-day aged Frederick Page, pistols in hand, sat barricaded | | in his room at 308 San Pablo avenue, | defiant of the civil officers who were trying to serve a summons in a divorce | suit brought by his pretty ycung bride, who was Alma N. Schmitt until Janu- ry 6. Threatening to kill the first per- son that should attempt to enter the apartment, the-angry husband held the fort against all comers until the assist- ance of the police was invoked this ! evening through the issuance of a war- rant for Page’s arrest. The complain- |ant was Mrs. Page, who swore that her spouse had threatened to kill her. Armed with the warrant, Detectives Quigley and Shcrey, flanked by Dep- uty, Sheriff Jeff Scanlan, who bore the divorce summons, repaired to the Page domicile. Warned that they might ex- pect a deadly encounter, the officers very stealthily approached the room. They tried the door, no response; then with skeleton keys they gained en- trance, only to awaken the old man |frem a sound slumber into which he | had falien after his arduous vigil dur- ing the day. i “What do you want?”’ demanded Page, | "“You; we have a warrant for your arrest,” answered the detectives. “And here is a summons in a suit for | divorce,” added Scanlan “Did my wife do this?” queried Page, he got himself together and started off to jail. ‘Well,” he continued, “that's what | | 2n old man gets for marrying a young | wite.” | 1In default of $5000 bonds Page was !‘d»-l:unwd at the City Prison. | | Page claims to be a mining man. iHv= said he was 52 years old, but his appearance adds ten years easily to that half-century mark. There is romance in the marriage | story. Pretty Mrs. Page was an at-1| | ndant at Ziegler's delicatessen shop on Seventeenth street and Telegrsph¢ | avenue when she first attracted the | | 01d man’s attention. He found it con- venient to drop into the shop and chat with the buxom saleswoman. | | And he talked about wezlth and gain- ed the girl's confidence. On January 6 they were married and occupied apart- | ments at 308 San Pablo avenue. It was not long before the young bride had some of her illusions rudely dispelled. Her husband told her to- day that he was threatened by a beau- tiful widow with a breach of promise | | suit. This and numerous alleged acts | | of cruelty are recited in. the divorce | | complaint, which was prepared and filed this afternoon. Mrs. Page had | | warned her spouse of the qction she | | intended to take, hence the old man's preparations to withstand a possible | | siege. But Morpheus won him from Mars and the prosaic policeman cap- tured the sleeping husband.

March 4.—Caught in the act of walking off with twenty-six pounds of Friday’s fish that didn’t be- long to him, George C. Boeddiker, un- til lately a watchman at the univer- gity and more recently a was arrested on a charge of petty larceny early this morning by Deputy Marshal George Thompson. In Boeddiker the local police think they have captured the man who has aroused to anger more housewives than any other man in Berkeley. In him they see the author of all the re- | cent petty thefts of meats and vege- tables and: chickens and butter 'and eges form kitchen meatsafes and back- door stoops. The whole town has suffered from these nighttime depredations. Noth- ing left out of doors has been safe for | the last three months.

They have asceptained that the boarders, four, who lived at Boeddiker’s place at 2011 Baneroft way lived on the fat of the land. Chicken was served three times 2 and sometimes oftener. The choicest cuts of meat they always had and fish was served regularly on Fridays. One of these boarders is Walter Janney, who looks as if the board had certainly agreed with him. He says he” had no idea that he was eating’ other people’s.things and ordered from the menu without feeling any qualms of conscience. “We often had chicken at the table,” he said. “In fact, we had it so often I got rather tired of it. Other things we had in proportion and I always went away satisfied. T will be rather sorry to miss the good things.” The other boarders are J. Robert Hubbard, J. A. Riedler and H. BE. Gruenwalder, all of whom express re- gret at their landlord’s plight. 3 . Boeddiker, it seems, has been sus- pected of the doorstep thefts for a long time. 'Deptuy Marshal Thompson noticed him around town last night and set a watch upon b Some time after midnight he saw' the man go to Fishel's market on Shattuck ave- nue and take a lot of fish out of a box standing in front of the place. The fish he put into a sack and started to walk off. “As goon as Boeddiker saw that I avas after him,” the officer said to- day, “he threw the sack into the street and walked rapidly down Shattuck avenue. 1 thought he would try to escape by running, but he did not, and I soon overtook him. I havé no doubt he is the man who has been robbing people around here lately.” . Boeddiker protests his innocence, saying his arrest is the resuit of a mis- understanding and an officer's mis- taken zeal. At the County Jail, to which he was taken upon failing to give $300 cash bail, he said: i “I was on my way to West Berkeley | to buy some whisky for my wife, who is ill.

Pro- fessor Mead has just returned to Cali- fornia after a fifteen months’ absence, during which he studied the irrigation and drainage systems of Europe and the Unitcd States, and his observation in regard to the needs of California is based upon his investigations else- where. In this regard he said to-day: 1 am convinced from what I saw in C: i forna and elsewhere that the State is need of a complete drainage system.

C A el T8 Orginization to Close Its Doors Until the New Build- ing Can Be Constructed e ACTIVE WORK TO CEASE Circular Announces the New Move and Some of the Plans for the Future —_——— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 4. The Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion is going to close up on May 1, be- cause it can no longer remain in its present quarters. Until the new build- ing is erected, the association will con- duct no active work. Some time ago the assoclation sold its present bullding to Charles Jurgens and took a lease, which expires May 1 Mr. Jurgens has increased the rent of the building and the association has drcided to stop work, and has sent out the following notice to members: Dear Sir: In May, 1003, the association buiflding was soid and has since been rented; the present e, however, expires May 1, 1904, and the future rental is to be increased to what s considered a prohibitive figure for the association. After a careful review of the situation the boards of trustees and directors have reached the determination to close the active work in the various departments and to vacate the building upon the expiration of the present lease. Those holding memberships in the association will be entitled to unex- ired membership privileges in the mew bulild- Pok to be erected at the corner of Fourteenth and Jefferson streets. The associations at Te- ledo, Salt Lake, Denver and other noints are having experiences eimilar to our own, during the erection of their new buildings. It is hoped that ground may be broken for our own new building in the early summer. Thanking you for your co-operation in the past and with confidence in your loyalty for the future, we remain, yours very truly, EDWARD COLLINS, President. W. A. KLING, Secretary. TRe Young Men's Christian Associa- tion has several important events to announce: The association orchestra will repeat some of the music on Sun- day at the regular men's meeting. In addition to the music by the orchestra, the assoclation male quartet will sing two selections, and Ralph T. Fisher will sing a baryione solo. Stuart W. Booth, editor of the Oakland Times, will deliver an address on “The Needless Fears of Younz Men.” This will deal with the obstacles and dlfif\- culties which young men set up in their pathways. This meeting is fur men only, at the assobiation hall, p m The Ooen Parliament Club will dis- cuss the auestion “Is the Golden Rule Compatible With Business Success?"” at its next meeting on Saturday even- ing at & o'clock at the Young Men's | Christian Association. 1t is expected that severa! successful business men will he on hand to give their own ex- periences in their endeavor to adjust the administration of their business to the recuirements of the golden rule.

The charge against T. C. Lane of having threatened the life of Assist- ant Superintendent A. W. Baker at the offices of the Southern Pacific Company in the Oakland mole was dismissed to-day. Lane is the one- armed brakeman that took a violent method of gaining redress for a fan- cied wrong. A Dbrother-in-law of Lane arrived from Cheyenne Ilast evening and has agreed to take Lane with him and give him employment. The matter came up to-day before Justice of the Peace George Samuels sitting for Justice Quinn. Baker took the stand and told how Lane had gone to the mole and asked to see Division Superintendent Palmer. Palmer was absent and Lane accosted Baker. Ba- ker told Lane he had no time to talk to him. Baker was then held up at the point of a pistol while Lane called him ‘all the names he could think of. District Attorney Allen stated to Judge Samuels that Lane was under the influence of liquor at the time of the incident and imagined he had not been given all the pay that was due him. Mr. Allen believed that the ends of justice would be served if Lane were allowed to go with his relative to Cheyenne. Upon this motion the charge was dismissed. e Tributes ' for the Dead. OAKLAND, March 4.—There were many tender tributes paid to the dead at the funeral of Mrs. Amelia Bartlett, wife of Wililam C. Bartlett, which was held to-day from the residence of the family, 477 Prospect street.

MEAT MARKETS ARE AL OPEN Locked Out Men Are Being Supplanted’ by Non-Union Help When It Is at H.and | BOSSES ASSIST BECKER Employers Reiterat¢ That They Will Not Deal With Butchers’ Union as Such Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 4. open and doing business to-day, de- spite the lockout of the Butchers' Union. In the non-union shops, which number all but four markets, the em- ployers were hard at work with such help as they have been able to pick up since yesterday morning. The quartet of union shops were also busy and the proprietors who have declined to join the bosses’ association say they can hold out and supply their customers. The employers have framed plans for a campaign of indefinite length, arfd one of their first moves was to send delegations of bosses to work at Fred Becker's big markets on Washington street an@ on Thirteentl street, which has apparently been selected as the storm center of the contest. Here were a dozen employers working behind the blocks alongside of non-union men who had been given the piaces of the locked-out union butchers. This plan of assisting Becker will be continued, each member of the Employers’ Asso- ciation taking his turn. The same sys- tem will be followed in all other shops where considerable assistance may bé required pending a settlement of the difficulty. ployers do much of the cutting. the pressure from the lock-out is severely feit. Many of them have been compelled to stop delivering meat, but they say the people will be forced to g0 to the shops for a time and carry home their orders themselves. On neither side was there a new phase of the struggle. Possibilities are discussed as to the injection of outside unions in the affair. About the labor headquarters rumor was current that the restaurants and hotels might be affected by a sympathetic strike of cooks and walters. At this time none of the union representatives are will- ing to commit themseives on this sub- jeet. From the Butchers’ Union was. given out a statement by McGovern, the business agent, that the on was prepared to make a fight and would be given all of the as- | sistance it recuired, both financially and morallv. McGovern added: This i8 a fight to save the integrity of the gnion. The employers have faid they w not recognize the union and they have lock out their men because they have stood by union. We are not really able to say w form our effarts to win will take. 1 feel sat | efied we can win. On the other ‘hand, Fred Becker said: The employers have mination to settle | be permitted to carry om our own businesses as we think is best. We will not sign any agreement with the union. That is final. Th men can be members of all the unions they want to, but when they do business with us it must be as individua This talk about wages and hours is nonsense. I am paying the union rates, and so is nearly every other butcker. Both the wholesalers and retailers declare that there will be no meat fam- ine. Irving C. Lewis of Grayson-Owen Ccmpany said that the public would be supplied even if the retailers were compelled to close their shops. The tenor of comment on the subject from the employers’ side was to indicate that the possible contingencies of the struggle had been carefully studied and would be met. The union shops claim to have suffi- cient. supplies to run them thrcugh un- til Monday. The proprietors assert their ability to get meat no matter what action may be taken by the wholesalers. Robert Vincent, one of the union shopkeepers, insisted that he could keep his stock up from several sources if the ordinary wapply should fail. Among the locked out butchers is former Mayor Johm L. Davie. Davie joined the union before he went back to the meat block, his ¢ld trade, and was among the employes at Becker’'s that went out. The San Francisco Butchers’ Board of Trade, through its secretary, John M. Gilbert, declares that the organiza- tion is not in any way interested in the Oakland trouble.
