SAN JOSE, Sept. 24.—An interlocu- tory decree of divorce granted to Eliza- beth D. Melvin from Howell D.

She came to San Jose to enter the high school. Melvin was the proprietor of a job ! printing office and a few years her senior. While at Santa Cruz the young | couple decided to get married and keep the matter a secret, and so had the ceremony performed on a yacht out in | the ocean. Later a marriage was sol- emnized in San Francisco. Their at a distance should come | poneymoon was of short duration, and | after a few months of married life Mrs. Melvin left her husband. ——————— TEMPORARY MARRIAGES A FUTURE INNOVATION 0dd Prediction of George Meredith in a Discussion of the Marital Problem. LONDON, Sept. 24—A silly-season | newspaper discussion of the marriage | question has provoked an opinion from George Meredith, who, in an interview in the Daily Mail, welcomes free dis- cussion of the subject, though, as he confesses, “everything that ought to be said has to be cut ip half.” He predicts a change in the legal | ends of marriage and' foreshadows a | state of society permitting marriages for certain limited periods, the state | enforcing a provision of money | that period to provide for and educate | children, the Government possibly tak- ing charge of this fund.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24.—Otto Del- sert, a horseshoer, escaped death last night in an almost miraculous manner. As it was, he was very seriously injured and is in a hospital. Delsert was crossing Hill street, near Eighth, when an automobile dashed down the street. Delsert saw the ma- chine too late, as it appeared from behind a trolley car, and was squarely hit. Instinctively he grasped the cool- ing tubeg in front and held on like grim death until the coughing, sputtering thing was finally brought to a stand- still by the frightened chauffeur. —_—————— GIRL OF SIXTEEN ELOPES WITH A MARRIED MAN Quits Comfortable Home to Go With ~ Barber, Who Leaves Wife Destitute.

Anson Potter, Hearing That His Sweetheart Is Dying, Suddenly Expires WILL IS IN HER FAVOR Sad E‘nding of Prospects Onee Thought Brilliant, Which Turned to Ashes Sick himself almost unto death, C. Anson Potter received last Thursday a letter from his sweetheart, Norma Lu- cile Kanode, saying that she was dying of consumption. The shock brought on a violent attack of heart disease and yesterday Potter was found dead in bed in the office of the Potter Ostrich Feather Waterproofing Company, room 113, 6 Eddy street. Mr. Potter was president of the com- pany. The other directors were Pearl J. Morton, Norma Lucile Kanode, C. Hilary Young and Abble A. McDow. Among his effects was a copy of the articles of incorporation, dated March 24,-1904. Potter formerly did a good business at 50 Geary street, but sold out to Mrs. Ella R. Dunlap, mother of He left a will, dated September 22, 1904, giving his interest of 10,100 shares in the company and his patents to Mrs. Dunlap and her daugh- ter, Norma, provided that they would defray the expenses of his interment in Mountain View Cemetery, Oaklanrd. Miss Kanode went to the country sev- eral days ago for the benefit of her health, she being far advaficed in con- sumption. When she arrived at her destination she addressed him a letter stating that she was growing worse and could not live. The elevator attendant at 6 Eddy street had not seen Potter since Thurs- day and he remarked to Detective Cody, who was going up in the elevator yesterday morning, that Potter might be dead or very sick. Cody peeped through the keyhole and saw Potter lying in bed. He forced an entrance and found the unfortunate man dead. The appearance of the body: justifies the conclusion that death ‘had occurred twenty-four hours previous. e e——— CHARLES WYMAN PURGED OF CONTEMPT OF "COURT | Jndge Cabaniss Admonishes the Al- leged Ballot Stuffer and the Trial Will Proceed. Charles Wyman, accused of ballot box stuffing, appeared before Judge Cabaniss yesterday, but his “double,” who created a stir on the previous day, was elsewhere. No reference was made to the pseudo Wyman. \ When the court ordered the real defendant to take the stand Attorney Countryman objected strenuomsly. **You cannot forceé a witness to appear against himself,” protested Country- man. ~ Judge Cabaniss thought other- wise. The accused bartender testified that he had been present in the court during all the proceedings on Friday until the Judge set the time of con- tinuance. Then he left. “Did you leave at a signal?” in- quired Attorney Hosmer. Before At- torney Countryman could object Wy- man shook his head in negation. On this testimony Judge Cabaniss purged the defendant of contempt of court. He was admonished to appear at all hearings of the case and to re- main until the court was dismissed. Commissioner Maestretti was not pres- ent yesterday. The case will be taken up again Tuesday at 2 p. m. in Judge Cabaniss’ court. ———————— YOSEMITE VALLEY. Reduced Rates by Santa Fe.

LAW BAFFLED | BY SMUCCLERS Marriage License and Con-| fiding Justice Are Used to Best Arizona Officials | SPOUSES ARE PROVIDED! | Clever Rogues Defeat Plans | of Immigration Officials Regarding Mexican Women Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. DOUGLAS, Ariz, Sept. 24.—United | States inspectors connected with the Arizona Bureau of Immigration who watch the line at this point are unable to cope with a gang of smugglers who have hatched a plot to evade the law and bring Mexican women into the United States for immoral purposes. Sam Pepper, head of the gang, is un-| der surveillance, but the officers can| find no law under which he can be| charged with a crime, and they see no | reason why he cannot go on with the| dllegal traffic despite them. Pepper’s scheme is to find temporary husbands for the women on this side of the line. As the law provides that | an allen woman who marries an Amer- ican becomes thereby a citizen of this| country, the inspectors cannot prohibit | the entry of Mexican women who have | followed Pepper’s directions and taken | this step. Immediately after their mar- | riage the women are abandoned by | their husbands and turned over to Pep- | per for disposal. f A few days ago three Mexican wom- | en bound for Pepper’s house in Doug- las were caught trying to sneak acros the line, and were sent back to their homes in Agua Frieta. Pepper on be- ing advised of the action of the officers easily found three Americans who for a small fee agreed to become the tem- porary husbands of the girls. He se- cured marriage licenses from Tomb- stone and on Monday they again evad- ed the officers, slipped across the lige and were married to the three Ameri- cans—Charles Alexander, William Cum- | mings and Herbert Rowland by name. The inspectors reached the scene just as Judge Royal O. Johnson of Douglas, a Justice of the Peace, was innocently tving the knot. When arrested the women set up their claim to citizenship, and the committing magistrate was compelled to discharge them. The women and their temporary hus- bands parted soon after, Pepper taking them in charge, as had been agreed. The Government authorities have taken up the matter with their supe- riors at Washington to determine whether this evasion of the law cannot be stopped. a e MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY ENGAGES DETECTIVES | Furs and Jewelry Stolen From a Prominent Philadelphia Family. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24.—In one| of the most exclusive fanitlies of Phila- delphia there has been brewing for the last week a tempest that is keeping a private detective agency busy, has| aroused the curiosity of the police and | caused no end of speculation in society tircles. . It is generally believed that a rob- bery was committed by some person having free access to the house, from which valuable plunder was taken, and this seems to have support in the fact | that the greatest ‘secrecy has been thrown about the whole affair. The detectives are of the dpinion that a member of the family made off with the jewels and that his relatives, while endeavoring to bring about the return ¢f the stolen property, are trying to prevent a scandal.
