Shinglers’ Union No. 1 of this city has been ordered by the Superior Court to rsinstate an expelled member. A writ of mandate directed to the union and its secretary by Judge Ogden this afternoon commands it to rescind its action expelling Thomas Arada from the organization. The Judge held that there is no provision in the constitu- tion and by-laws of the union provid- ing for such expulsion. The order is the result of an action begun by Arada against the umion to coempel it to The trial s consumed several stimony developed the da had been a member and had been expelled be- had employed his non-union he brother to help him. The question whether the work per- fcrmed by Fillmore Arada, the brother, cause was such work as the union had jur diction over was not a matter the court took into consideration. Judge Ogden based his upon a review the proceedings of the union in regard to the expulsion of the member. An | examination of the constitution failed to show that there was any provision | for the expelling of a member for em- ploying non-union workmen. Had there such a provision, Judge Ogden said, the union would have had the right to expel him. The trouble arose over the fact that Arada engaged his brother to help him repair the roofs of the buildings at the Emeryville racetrack. He collected un- jon wages for his brother, but main- tained that his brother was only doing helper’s work. The union warned him and then fined him, first $11 and after- ward $25, for persisting in retaining his brother in the position. Arada then de- manded that his brother be allowed to in the union. This was denied, and e then demanded the money back he had paid in fines. This was returned and he was expelled from the union. He found that he was then unable to get work and began an action to get back into the union again. LEAP-YEAR BRIDES By Zoe Green Radcliffe.

JULIUS M1 | » The Star ‘Gazer Accused of Burglary Spins Great Romances. PR e OAKLAND, June 22.—If the wonder- ful story told by Julius Steinberg is true, a Prince of the royal blood of In- dia is detained in the AlaMeda County Jail awaiting trial before the Superior | Court on a charge of grand larceny. Steinberg, who is unmistakably of Hindoo parentage, claims that he is the son of the late Prince Singh, former Maharajah of the pnrovince of Lahore, India, who was banished from his‘na- tive land after the last mutiny for in- citing the natives to rebel against Brit- ieh rule. Steinberg says that through his father he is also a Prince of the royal blood, his full title being Prince Ramina Aramancha Singh. He says that after the death of his father in Paris, in 1892, his mother married a German by the name of Otto Steinberg, who bestowed upon him the name of Julius Steinberg. The accused man is well educated, and in his apartments at the Glasgow, 105 Ellis street, San Francisco, is a rare collection of Indian curios. Stein- berg is also the possessor of an excel- lent library, including a number of standard works on Indian history. CLAIMS ROYAL ANCESTRY. Steinberg told the following story to- day: My father was Prince Singh, Maharajah of the Province of Lahore in the interlor of India, and after (he last uprising of the natives he was banished from India for inciting mu- tiny against the British Government. When my father left Indla he went to Alexandria, in Egypt, and it was there that he married my mother, who was of mixed Egyptian and German blood. Hefore his marriage my father embraced Christianity, becoming a Roman Cathoile, and when I was born 1 was christened and baptized in the Catholic faith 1 was christencd Ramina Aramancha, and bore that name until my mother's second mar- a residence of several vears in Alex- my father and mother removed to ! Paris,'and while there my father petitioned the British Government for permission to re- turn to India. This was refused, but after a time permission was granted him to live anywhere under the British flag except in India, where he was forbidden to go on pain of death. Deepite the edict of the Government, my father returned to India, endeavored to in- diice the natives to rise once more agalnst the English, but they were satisfied with Britieh rule and refused. Soon afterward my father returned to Puris, where he died In 1592, HIS FATHER AND VICTORIA. During the time that my fathér was the ruler of the Province of Labors he presented to Queen Vi Kohinoor, which is the largest of the crown Jewels of Great Britain. After his banishment he demanded that the stone be returned to him, but this was refused. After his recon- ciliation with the British Government the vh allowed my father $350,000 a year during s lite. . Immediately after ‘my father's mother removed to Haltl, where she married a German planter named Otto Steinberg, and it was from my stepfather that I received the name Jullus Steinberg. Some of .my step- father's relatives now own the Steinberg fruit ranch near Walla Walla, In Washington, In 1903 I came to New York and shortly ELECTRIC CARS [N BAD CLASH Collision Hurts Mrs. Frank Maguire and Child, Whose Fscape Alive Is a Miracle MOTORMEN WERE MIXED Accident Is at Crossing; Each Claimed Right of Way and Ran Full Speed AR BERKELEY, June 22.—Two cars of the Oakland Transit Consolidated col- lided this evening at Alcatraz and Tel- egraph avenues, They were full of pas- sengers, but all escaped injury with the exception of Mrs. Frank Magufre and her daughter Phyllis Maguire, aged 6 years, both of whom recelved severe cuts and bruises. The escape of the mother and daughter was marvelous, as they were in a position that exposed them to the full force of the contact. The tracks are clear of obstructions where they cross at the intersection of the two avenues, and the men charge could see the streets on all sides for a block. Each motorman says his car had the right of way and that the other should have stopped at the crossing. A HEAVY CLASH. The clash occurred at 6 o’clock. Car No. 52 of the Alcatraz-avenue line, in charge of Motorman H. J. Hucksta- ble and Conductor J. H. Eslick, was moving toward Lorin station, when car No. 185 of the Telegraph-avenue line, handled by Motorman Charles O. Dai- ley and Conductor Hotaling, was going toward Berkeley. Neither motorman checked his car as he approached the crossing and the result was the inevitable smash, the cars striking each other at the con- verging corners of their front ends. Mrs. Maguire and her daughter were sitting on the front end of the Alca- traz-avenue car, outside. They were almost directly in line of the Tele- graph-avenue car's approach and it seemed that they would be crushed to death. But the cars, striking together on their corners, saved them. Both mother and child were thrown heavily to the ground. WOUNDED CARED FOR. They were taken to the home of Mrs. Charles Mellin of 1721 Alcatraz avenue, where they had been visiting. A physi- clan dressed their injuries. The child's right leg was severely crushed, but not broken. Mrs. Maguire lives at, 42414 Shotwell street, San Francisco. Re- garding the accident, ghe said: “I saw the cars coming together, but it did not seem possible that the motor- men would let them come into collis- ion. It is so clear at the crossing that there was no need for it. It was a great piece of carelessness.” 3 Motorman Huckstable said he thought he had the right of way and sent his car ahead because he had counted on the other man stopping. —_——— Grants Railroad Franchise.

SAN JOSE, June 22.—F. S. Granger, who vromoted the Interurban Electric Railway running between this city and Los Gatos, has purchased the electric railway lines of Santa Cruz and will take possession to-morrow. The deal was consummated yesterday. Back of Granger in the deal are a number of Eastern capitalists. The purchase was made from James P. Smith, the New York millionaire. Granger's purchase of the Santa Cruz lines does not in- clude the Capitola road. The price paid for the road is not made public, but it is said to be over $100,000. New cars and rolling stock will be added and the system will be improved at once. Granger has been promoting a road between this city and Los Gatos, to be known as a short line. Monday night the Los Gatos Council granted J. J. Stanfield, who represents Granger, a franchise for the road in that place. There has been much opposition to Granger's project on the part of the Interurban, and it is doubtful whether he will build the line to Los Gatos now San the orla the famous diamond, the | that he has purchased the Santa Cruz railways.

John Anderson, a tailor residing at 1304 Powell street, was arrested last night on a warrant issued by Judge Kerrigan, charging him wth insanity. The warrant, was sworn to by his wife, ac swears his spouse is trying to get rid of him in order to elope with an- other man and that she wants to rail- road him to an asylum. Anderson’s tale is indeed a sad one. ‘While confined in the insane ward of the Emergency Hospital the tailor poured forth a pathetic tale of how he had beén injured by his wife.. He says she is desirous of getting rid of him so that she may be at liberty to marry a man named Adolphson, who is stated to have taken the place of Anderson in the woman's affections. The wife claimed to be prostrated last night and refused to discuss the trouble. She was closely watched by a strong guard of male and.female sympathizers from the district and they all say that Anderson is crazy, though his speech and actions belie their assertions.
