According to the information that| reached the various offices Chief Coun- sel Herrin wiil soon be officially des- ignated as the chief executive officer title of either “assistant to the presi- dent” or vice president. These two titles are now held By Director of Main- schnitt of the Harriman lines, who is soon to leave for|Chicago. His tities of assistant to the president and vice! president were conferred on him in or- | der that the head of the big railroad system might be relleved of much of the tedious work of signing papers and | documents in this city. In the departure shortly of Julius Kruttschnitt for Chicago, President Harriman has realized the need of an- other representative here and has, in the minds of the majority of the rail- road officials here, justly selected Chief | Counsel Herrin as the most available man for the responsibilities of the local executive position. It is generally con- ceded that no one here in the employe of the Southern Pacific Company is more in the confidence of President | Harriman than Attorney Herrin, a fact | that has often been remarked when it | has become known that President Har- | riman has telegraphed for the lawyer | to meet him on his way to this city and very frequently the lawyer is in-| vited to accompany the president east- ward so that they may, while enjoying the extreme privacy of their car, dis- cuss rallroad matters in so far as they apply to the Western interests of the Harriman syndicate. According to the best advices received at the railrcad | building the order announcing Herrin's | appointment will make its” appearance | in a few days. —_—————————— ODD FELLOWS WILL ELECT NEW OFFICERS The Grand Lodge'of the Independent | Order of Odd Fellows met in second | day’s session in Native Sons’ Hall yes- terday morning, but owing to the fact that the various committees to which were referred the several reports of officers at the previous day's session very little was done. There was an informal discussion on the question of securing water for the White tract in Santa Clara Valley, on which it is proposed to build a new home for the Odd Fellows, who in time will come under the care of the order. The water which flows in Pen- etencia Creek was analyzed and pro- nounced so strongly impregnated with | mineral as to render it unfit for do- | mestic use. The same report was made | as to water taken from a well on the land. 5 The election of grand officers for the ensuing term will begin immedi- ately after the reading of the minutes | to-day and will be continued until all the officers are chosen. J. W. Linscott, at present deputy grand master, \\-illl undoubtedly be advanced to the posi- tion of grand master, while. W. W.| Phelps, the grand warden, will stand | a good chance of being advanced to | second place. There will be several candidates for grand warden, but the most prominent named is W. I. Bro- beck of this city. Grand Secretary George T. Shaw and Grand Treasurer J. W. Harris are reasonably sure of being re-elected. The Rebekahs. At the morning session of the Cali- fornia Assembly of the Rebekahs in Golden Gate Hall yesterday the report of Miss Fannie Benjamin, president of the Board of Trustees of the Orphans’ Home at Gilroy, was read and dis- cussed at length, but action was de- ferred. It was decided that an en- larged portrait of Mrs. Caroline A. Hoxgtt of Gilroy, who donated the land upon which the home stands, be procured and placed in the institution. During the afternoon there was some routine business and then there were addresses by Mr. and Mrs. Bulen, the husband past grand master and his wife past president of the assem- bly of the jurisdiction of Iowa; Past Grand Master Karl Brueck, Past Grand Master L. L. Alexander, Grand Master C. W. Baker and Grand Treas- urer J..W. Harris, for the good of the assembly and the order. The assembly also heard the report of the committee on laws for Rebe- kahs and the reading of telegrams of congratulations from a dozen other jurisdictions. | the message while he was at Pasadena | | from Jacob Wiehn on the ground of .1 daughter, | son for SAYS HUSBAND NEGLECTS HER Florence Schneider Sues Her Spouse to Compel Him to Provide for Her Living TELLS A PITIFUL TALE Avers He Was Carousing While She Sat at Death- bed of Their Little Boy — Florence Schneider, wife of William | C. Schneider, a commercial traveler in | the employ of the Lloyd Scovel Iron | Works, tells a pitiful tale of woe in a | complaint for maintenance filed yes-! terday. She says she j8 nearly heart- | broken' because when she called her | husband to the deathbed of their little son at Santa Rosa he would not obey the summons. She says he received and paid no attention to it, but con- tinued carousing about the southern town in the company of dissolute com- | panions. She further avers that she has suffered because of his neglect and hardheartedness, not only during the trying times before and after her child's death, but also because, though he earns $350 a month and has a bank account of $5000, he does not provide for her, and that he even compelled : her to defray the burial expenses of the little one. She asks for a division of the community property and such monthly allowance as is necessary to supply her needs. | QUEER WEAPONS. | Ernestine Wiehn wants a divorce | cruelty, alleging that her feelings have been hurt because her husband per-| sists in throwing candles and spoons at her. She also complains that he frequently threatens to choke her. { Edwin J. Schaller apparently thinks more of his typewriter than he does of | his wife, Florence. He once told Mrs. Schaller that he would rather choke her to death than discharge the young lady. Evidence to this effect was fur- nished by Mrs. Schaller and a friend in Judge Hebbard’s court and the court promptly granted her a decree | of divcrce. | Judge Murasky granted decrees of | divorce to Isadore Labell from Chrls-} tie Labell and Lillie Bernzott from | August Bernzott. Mrs. Labell was | cruel to her husband and Bernzou‘\ neglected his wife. SUSPICIOUS EVIDENCE. ( During the trial of the contested di- vorce suit of John J. Rutherford against Mary M. Rutherford yesterday | in Judge Graham's court Mary M. | Croll was a witness on behalf of the | defendant. She testified that Ruther- | ford had brought his seven-year-old Amelia, to her delicatessen | store on Folsom street on February 22. This was emphatically denied by the | defendant and Judge Graham sent for | the little girl, promising that in the | event that her story did not coincide with that of Mrs. Croll a rigid investi- | gation for the purpose of determining whether perjury had been committed | would be made. The little girl's story did not coincide with that ef Mrs,.' Croll, but the Judge took nc action. | Divorces were granted yesterday to Frank E. Davidson from Anna David- desertion, Mary A. Paddock from Herbert Paddock for neglect, and Ella McKeany from Andrew McKeany for desertion. Suits for divorce were filed by Eliza- beth Williams against C. J. Willlams for desertion, Elizabeth Price against John W. Price for neglect, Nettie L. Trimpler against William F. Trimpler for neglect, Mathilda Olson against Gustaf Olson for desertion, Mary P. Fowler against Herbert F. Fowler for neglect, and Charles G. Jarmon against Ira J. Jarmon for cruelty. Mrs. Jar- mon alleges that her husband attempt- ed to drown their infant child in a sink. | —_———————— | Medical College Graduates. i The forty-sixth annual commence- | ment exercises of the California Medi- | cal College will be held in Native Sons’ | Hall next Tuesday evening.
