Behind this conviction is the long bat- tle that has waged between the scav- engers’ association and the garbage | hold the city | crematory people, who rights to handle the offal and refuse. This is the first conviction that has been gained by the prosecution. Many arrests have been made, the Health Department co-operating with the po- lice to enforce the law. Under advice from their attorneys the scavengers continued in business after the crema- tory began operations and persisted in collecting garbage. But they did not recognize the existence of the crema- tory and dumped the offensive matter along the West Oakland marsh, as they had done for years. This was stopped and the scavengers found new places of deposit on Bay Farm Island, haul- ing Oakland’s refuse through Alameda. Legoria was first tried on May 4, but the jury disagreed. Attorney J. H. Creeley, representing the scavengers, said he would on Saturday move for a new trial and would appeal in case his motion be denied. He purposes to fight through to the Supreme Court. Attorney L. S. Church, representing the crematory company, said his clients were ready to carry the contest as far as the courts would listen to it. He declared the crematory people were ready at all times to establish not only the legality, but the sanitary per- fection of their methods, and he was | convinced that it is only a question of time when the community would awake to the modern plans that were in operation. The second trial was hard fought, nearly three days having been con- sumed in_the impanelment of a jury. More than one hundred talesmen were examined. So many men expressed a prejudice which would bar them from serving as fair trial jurors that Po- lice Judge Smith declared forcibly as follows: When men take an oath to be guided by the law &s given by the court and the evi- dence as presented, I think that any man of ordinary intelligence 18 competent to serve. These excuses are becoming very tiresome. 1 should think that the majority of persons would have more respect for their oaths than to say they could not weigh facts impartially, despite their personal ideas. o TR ek i TR M« CHINESE DENS ARE SHUT (P N\ Gamblers Fear a Repe’tition of the Raid Started hy the Police of Oakland Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1018 Broadway, Aug. 23. Not a Chinese lottery den was in business to-day in Oakland. The raids made by the police have accomplished their purpose. The yellow gamblers, realizing that the police plan of campaign means the destruction of their {llegally used property, have closed down business. Police reports from every beat in the city are in the same tenor, namely: All “joints” closed and no visitors at any of them. It was like a bolt from a clear sky Saturday night when the police smashed their way into the China- town resorts. The raid was an earnest of more to follow and the Chinese boss gamblers have decided that the best way out of the present situation is to cease their unlawful traffic. This condition the police expect to maintain, using the threat of resump- tion of violent raids, should any of the gambling houses reopen. —_—————— WAGON WHEELS BREAK LIMBS OF TWO YOUTHS Boys Become Entangled and Legs Are Crushed So That Amputation Is Necessary. BERKELEY, Aug. 23.—Peculiarly coincidental are two accidents that have occurred within two days to boys living in South Berkeley. In both cases the lads became entangled in the wheels of delivery wagons and suffered such severe injury that am- putation was necessary in one case and may be so in the other. Joe Donovan of 6339 Telegraph avenue was the first victim to be hurt by the wagon wheels. While mount- ing his wagon in front of E. P. Carl- son’s store on Sunday the horse start- ed suddenly ahead, causing him to slip and fall-into the spokes of the rear wheel. The wheels made two revolutions before the horse could be stopped, the result being a fracture above the knee and a broken kneecap, the injuries being so severe that am- putation may be necessary. ¥ Similarly Neff Christie of South Berkeley injured his limb while jump- ing on and off a wagon riear his home. The lad was crowded Into the wheel by his playmates and in a moment his left leg was crushed. Amputation in this case was found necessary to save a jury in the Po- | DR. CROWLEY'S WIFE AGAIN PLAINTIFF IN DIVORCE COURT After Silence of a Year Following Horsewhip- ping Episode, She Charges Husband With De- sertion—It Is Said There Will Be No Contest k than a year of separation, following A. Crowley to-day sued Dr. D. D. Crowley for divorce for the second time since their first marriage ten vears ago. Statutory desertion is the allegation set forth in the complaint, which was filed by Henry C. McPike, attorney for Mrs. Crowley. The phy- sician’s wife avers that Dr. Crowley's income is $2000 a month. She asks for alimony, amount to be determined, for support of herself and the Crow- ley children, two boys, of whom she wants the custody. Thus culminates a series of marital disturbances that now record two steps in the divorce court with a di- vorce case at the very beginning of the Crowleys’” matrimonial experiences. ‘When Alma Crowley first met the tal- ented physician and surgeon from whom she seeks for the second time a-legal separation, she was the beau- tiful wife of Hugo Mansfeldt, a musi- clan of more than local fame. She had been Mansfeldt's pupil and over the harmonies and chromatics Cupid chimed until Mansfeldt won his schol- ar for a bride. The Mansfeldts were happy for a time. But it was not long. Mrs. Mansfeldt procured a divorce from her musician spouse and wedded Dr. Crowley. Again domestic fellcity was of brief duration. One day Mrs. Crowley went to her husband’s offices, then on Broadway and Twelfth street in the Central block, and made accu- sations in the face of one of his pa- tients. There was a violent scene. The angry wife, with her children, fled to a hotel and there remained until a reconciliation reunited the family. WIFE GROWS WEARY. It was not long, however, until Mrs. Crowley, charging cruelty, divorced her husband. The separation was followed by another making up. The chap- ter of troubles was closed tempo- rarily by the Crowleys’ remarriage at Reno. Upon thelr return they settled down to home life once more at the family residence, 1164 Allce street. A year or more passed quietly. Then one day Dr. Crowley took his personal ef- fects and repaired to bachelors’ quar- ters at the Athenian Club. There was another cloud upon the horizon. It grew and grew. Mrs. Crowley sudden- ly added a fresh lear to' the book of disturbanee by attacking her husband with a horsewhip one evening as he left the residence of Mrs. A. Seligman, 585 Caledonia avenue. The physician’s wife charged that his visits at the Seligman residence were not prompted by professional reasons. The incident caused Harry M. Selig- man, son of Mrs. Seligman, to defend his mother’s name. Young Seligman went to the Crowley residence and de- manded that Mrs, Crowley mgke public apology. He declared that Dr. Crow- ley had been called to the Seligman house on a profegsional visit, that he (the son) had been there during the visit; that Mrs. Crowley had wantonly laid his mother open to scandal. After much colloquy Mrs. Crowley caused the young defender’s arrest on a charge of disturbing the peace, but she did not the child’s life, the operation having | appear to prosecute him. That closed for the time being the e . | MRS. D. D. CROWLEY, WHO A YEAR AGO PUBLICLY HORSEWHIPPED HER HUSBAND., A PROMINENT OAKLAND PHYSICIAN, AND NOW SUES FOR A DIVORCE.

During all of Dr. Crowley’s marital | upsettings he has ever maintained a | silence with relation to much that has fcrced him so unwillingly into public gaze. His friends declare that he has been in many particulars a grievously persecuted man. Even at this time Dr. Crowley* has avoided a controversy with his wife touching any of their matrimonial experiences. Since the last separation Dr. Crowley has made a monthly aliowance of $200 to his wife, which has enabled her to maintain herseif and children prop- erly. Mrs. Crowley has won repute in the musical world as a brilliant singer and accomplished composer. In years gone by she was a prominent figure in Oakland society. Her beauty was enhanced by a splendid mental equip- ment, which combined to make an at- tractive presence. Dr. Crowley has been a leader for many years in his profession. He holds the post of chief | of staff of surgeons, with rank of col- onel, in the National Guard of Cali- fornia and is district surgeon of the Santa Fe Railroad, with headquarters in Oakland. It is understood that the divorce suit will not be contested. BERKELEY, Aug. 23.—Owing to the iliness of Colonel Henry de H. Walte, commandant of the cadet regiments, Professor Frank Soule, formerly military Instructor for the univer- sity, will take charge of the organization and preliminary instruction of the student sol- diers. Colonel Waite's allment is malaria, With which he was taken before the universfty term began. His recovery i expected to be a matter of three or four days. Professor Willlam Henry Welch, professor of pathology at Johns Hopkins University, was a Visitor at the university to-day. Professor ‘Welch was greatly interested In the new phy- siological laboratory, about which he was con- ducted by Professor Jacques Loeb. The freshman class was given a reception last night by the ng Men's Christian As- soclation in Stiles Hall. It was called a *jolly up” and consisted of songs, college yells and speeches. . W.

They are also discussing the erection of a pumping plant that will furnish sufficient water to handle a fire. : These three points are the outcome of the Sherman street fire, the charges that Chief Krauth did not handle the fire properly and the investigation that | was held of these charges by the Trus- tees last night. It was conclusivelv shown that Chief Krauth handled the fire In a most sci- entific manner, that everything was done by him and by his men, but it was also shown that Alameda had long since outgrown its present Fire De- partment. President Forderer of the City Trustees to-day announced the new Fire Department plans: ‘We found out a great deal about our Fire Department last night and we will take up the work of improving it as rapidly as poseible. The city has long since outgrown a volunteer fire department and we shall have to do away with the present system and establish a paid call department. A pald call department is easfer to handle and more subject to discipline than a volunteer one. We will probably have to increase the equipment, though to what ex- tent remains to be determined In order to increase the water pressure and water supply we may have to resort toa pump- ing plant, but as that will cost $10,00f, and as our tax levy will be higher than last year 1 don’t see how it without this improvement, can be considered now. As for the fire the other night there is no question as to the skill shown by Chief Krauth.

Now there are less than 100 children being excluded from the schools on account of the vac- cination, but even this number will be largely reduced within the next few days. “It is just as I thought,” said School Superintendent Waterman to-day. “As soon as the parents saw that the board meant to enforce its order they re- treated from their deflant position. don’t belleve there will be more than fifty remaining out of the schools at the end of the week.” Superintendent Waterman said that he expected trcuble with at least one parent over the vacination order, which might call for an appeal to the courts, but in the absence of authority from the Board of Education to proceed he refused o divulge the nature of the difficulty. —_————————— ILL-MATED COUPLES VANT TIES SEVERED Maggie Spatz Says Husband Preferred Other Women—H.
