6 1 o NEWS OF. THE.. WARRIAGE TIE SLIPS L00SE Woman Who Performs the Ceremony Had No License to Make Mystic Union BARGAIN CALLED OFF Wife Leaves a Good-by and Disappears When She Learns of Irregularity LR, Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Oct. 27. A peculiar marriage and an odd sequel were brought to light to-day when it was learned that Mrs. Sidney Horsford, who, on Monday Ilast, plighted her troth to Winsor D. San- ford, had taken advantage of the fact that a woman without authority had performed the ceremony..The wife then backed out of her bargain and told her would-be husband that he could get a wife somewhere else. The marriage license was issued to Winsor D. Sanford and Mrs. Sidney Horsford, who gave their ages as over twenty-one. They were, apparently, each near the forty mark. They took up their abode at 706 Broadway, but when Sanford went to their rooms to- day he found the following note await- ing him: Mir. Sanford: Iasked a lawyer this morning about ocur marriage, and he sald it was not legal: that that woman had to be a licensed minister before she could do it, and had to have a witness, 50 I think it is better for me to stay with my children alome, as I don't want to marry 1 am going to Salt Lake, Utah, in a few days. You can get a wife somewhere else. When Sanford read the note he took it 'to the Rev. Ann Ware, a professed minister of Christ’s Church of Healds- burg and asked her if the marriage was an illegal one and in trepidation she took it to the County Clerk’s office, where she was informed that only or- dained and licensed ministers were a lowed to perform the marriage cere- mony Sanford had only been acquainted with his supposed wife a short time and now does not know where to find her. Mrs. Ware says she believed she had a right to marry the couple and, knowing Sanford, she agreed to per- form the ceremony. ————————— SENIORS SCORED BY MILITARY OFFICER Captain Nance Tells University Men They Behave Like School Boys at a Lecture. BERKELEY, Oct. 27.—Senior ca- dets who report to Captain Nance, commandant at the university, re- ceived a scoring this morning from their superior officer which made many of them blush. Captain Nance was to give his first lecture in tactics and all the seniors and many of the juniors were present in the grill hall to listen.” Before the time for instruction began the men walked about the room, pushing chairs as they secured seats. Captain Nance objected decidedly to the noisy ways of the students, saying: “You lack discipline, apparently. You have acted like school boys to- day, and if necessary will be treated like school boys. As men you ought to be able to take your seats noise- lessly.” That wae all on that subject, but Captain Nance proceeded to relieve his mind on another topic, saying: “Another thing which shows your lack of discipline is the habit some of you have of wearing part of your uni- form about the campus outside of the drill_ hour. Of course, what you do outsille the drill hour is no concern of mine, but I intend to see President Wheeler and learn whether the matter can be remedied.” —_———— GUN PLAY FRIGHTENS RAILROAD FOREMAN —_— Merchant of Berkeley Carries Out Improvement Plans With Aid of Revolver.

Wounded by the accidental discharge of his own revolver, Bert Swan, a for- mer Deputy County Clerk of Alameda County, who now holds a position as turnkey at the State penitentiary at San Quentin, lies at the point of death at Providence Hospital from the effects of blood poisoning resulting from the wound. In a final effort to save his life the physicians to-day amputated Swan'’s left leg above the knee. The operation was performed by Dr. Frank L. Adams, assisted by Dr. D. D. Crow- ley. What the result will be is uncer- tain, but there is Swan will recover. The accident occurred at the McRea Hotel. at San Quentin Point on the evening of October 20. Swan was show- ing a new revolver to some friends and had, as he supposed, removed all the cartridges, but_through an over- sight he left one chamber loaded. He snapped the trigger upon the loaded chamber and the bullet entered his jeft thigh. At first it was thought that Swan would scon recover, but in a few days blood poisoning set in .and yesterday the doctors decided that.the leg must be :amputated at once. Swan was brought from San Quentin this morning and the operation was performed- this afternoon.

The Mayor turged on the current and the trip was made without event. The actual opening of the subway to the traveling public took place to-night. Long before 7 o’clock, when the first train was scheduled to.leave the City Hall, the Park surrounding: the hall was jammed ~with' a good-natured crowd. Thousands of persons fought with one another for the privilege of purchasing the first ticket.. Flying wedges, center rushes and almost every means of progress known to footbadl tactics were adopted by those ambi- tious to ride upon the first train. WELCOMED BY THRONG. Promptly at 7 o’clock the first of the crowd were admitted to the station, and when the first train dashed in sight around the loop a hearty cheer went up. As soon as the five cars had been filled the train was sent away. At Brooklyn bridge an enormous crowd had gathered and the train was given a vociferous reception. : From station to station the train was ‘heralded with nolsy acclaim. As it proceeded uptown the number of those who desired to ride increased, and when the terminus was reached eyery avallable inch of space was occupl The people turned out en massé to christen the new road, and it is esti- mated that nearly 150,000 rode ‘during the evening. Hundreds of policemen had been stationsd along the youte, but the crowd was 0 orderly that many of the reserves were sent back to their precinct quarters, s “The run to Brooklyn bridge was ac- complished in twentyrsix minutes, which. included eight. stops. . Running at times at a speed of a mile a minute in the half- darkness of tunnel, the grain dashed by stations which could only be distinguished by a glare of light and the black mass of spectators. WORLD'’S GREATEST SYSTEM. The subway is the consummation of years of study of the transportation problem on Manhattan Island and marks the completion of the first stage of what will be the most comprehen- sive system of rapid transit in the world. In the shape of an irregular Y, with the stem resting at the City Hall, the tunnel runs north to Forty-second street, where it bends shatply west to Broadway and aut that thoroughfare to One Hundred and Third street. This portion of the tunnel is a four-track system, two tracks for local and two for express train service. At One Hun- dred and Third street two tracks di- verge in a generally northeastern di- rection, cross under a corner of Cen- tral Park and on to the Harlem River, under which it passes by means of a tunnel made famous by the engineer- ing skill called into play to complete it. After passing under the river it continues to Third avenue and Orie Hundred and Forty-fifth' street, where the tunnel ends and the line is contin- ued upon a viadutt to Bronx Park. Nine miles of this total of about four- teen were ready for traffic to-day, but it is expected that the East Side divis- jon and the remainder of the West Side line will be ready in about three ‘months. e ; OWNED BY THE OITY. Ground was broken for the tunnel March 25, 1900. It had been decided by a municipal ballot that the city should own the system, but that it should be constructed under private contract. A commission, of .which . Alexander E. Orr. was pyesident and Willlam Bar- clap Parsons chief engineer, was placed in charge. The contract under which McDonald undertook the work provided that he should construct the subway road in four years at a cost of $35,000,000 and that he should have the right to oper- ate it under certain conditions for fifty years. Throughout the subway is lined with white glass tiles, the ironwork is tasty and, as far as possible, has been de- signed with an eye to the artistic as well as strength and durabllity, while the stations are treated in _color schemes with ceramic tiling. 'Each sta- tion has its own distinctive color idea and the decorative scheme is varied in each. The stations are commodious and brilliantly lighted and the finishings are all of bronze, brass and other metal, woodwork being eliminated far as possible. 4 i The system is el al, one great powerhouse ‘tuve!opu.xf &- . required At R e b In 4 * for- Sy8- tem‘u.nll"m eithér copper or steel sheathed. 7 % - DEVICES FOR SAFETY. HE. SAN. FRANCISCO CALfi, FRIDAY, OCTOBER ~28, 1904. ; Y OF A TALK FOR FARMERS Value of an Agricultural Education Is Explained by Students of Subject STATISTICS RELATING TO LABOR PROBLEM BERKELEY, Oct. 27.—In an attempt to crystallize the sentiment prevailing in the sessions of the Farmers' Insti- tute resolutions were adopted this afternoon asking the State Legislature to appropriate money for the construc- tion of an agricultural building and a farm school at the University of Cali- fornia. The Legislature will also be asked In these resolutions to pass a law incorporating agricultural studies into the curriculum of the State nor- mal schools. The resolutions are the outgrowth of the current sessions\of the institute, where the value of agricultural educa~ tion has been thoroughly explained by experts. Three sessions were held to- day by the farmers and those who are interested in institute work, the in- stitute coming to an end to-night with an illustrated lecture by Professor El- wood Mead on “Irrigation "Abroad,” being” an account of recent observa- tions in foreign countrics. Hearst Hall was filled this morning when President Wheeler declared the institute open, introducing W. V. Staf- ford, State commissioner of labor sta- tistics, who spoke of “Farm Labor in California.” The “speaker referred to the efforts of his office to gather sta- tistics relating to the condition of farm labor, and to procure'information about what could be done to benefit farm laborers. Scores of remedies were suggested, such as Sunday saloon closing, exclusion of foreign workmen, organizing unions, more churches, smaller farms, fewer hours and better pay, etc. The fact that new comers to the State seeking employment are usually landed in the larger cities where they are likely to stay, if they can, is one reason, the commissioner believes, why the farmer gets the dregs of the labor- ing population. Continuing, the speaker said: PATIENCE NECESSARY. It is regrettable that while there have been bighly intelligent and splendidly organiged ar- rangements for placing the land on the market for the small purchaser, extraordinary & pa- tlence and toil in every direction- for the de- velopment of the products of the State are necessary. Are the farmers as a class blameless in the matter? Have they put a tithe of the energy, care, and money Into the labor question that they have in every other branch of their busi- ness? And if they have made effort have they made it consistently? Can they expect the floating farm labor of the State to elevate itself under adverse conditions without sys- tematic ald_ from the employer? Baths, libraries, profit sharing plans and other de- vices may be used with excellent effect. C. H. Markham, former vice presi- dent and geperal manager of the Southern Pacific Company, who was to have read a paper on “The Farmer and the Railroad, Their Relations,” sent a letter, regretting his inability to at- tend. In his letter to the institute Mr. Markham said: MARKHAM'S LETTER. The _businesa of transportation may _enjoy a kind of advantage from the system of buy- ing abroad and selling abroad, but it is an ad- vantage of the present which must be charged up against errors, to save the wastes, to vital- ize the labors of the farm. My own wish is that every school in the country were com- pelled to teach the elements of agricultural sclence, This must come in time, since we are working around to the practical ground that the best instruction is that which enables men and women to get their living decently. But the tinle of universal instruction in industry as distinct from academics is not yet. As yet thers is no systematic aducation for the farmer excepting that which sifts out to him in one way or another through the university. Meet- ings like those at Berkelwy are of the highest the topic discussed by E. F. Adams. He said a business man is one who knows what will pay in his business. The mis- takes made by farmers who neglect simple business principles, who operate without regard to cause and effect and permit political managers to fool them into betraying their own interests, were described by the speaker, who said In conclusion: f S when the farmer u: braing he Bas o deal with his affairs in & business like way; to locate and stop all wastes of production; to produce as far as be can only the best of its kind; to grade it hon- estly and sell it for what it is; to co- e faithtully with his fellows; to cuitivate y Telations with his salesmen, his bankers and his customers; then will he demonstrate his power of economic survival and vindicate his Tight to be called 3 business man. Professor Elwood Mead, chief of irri- gation and drainage investigations, United States Department of Agricul- ture, Washington, D. C., told the insti- tute how desirable it is that a depart- ment of agricultural engineering be es- tablished at the California State Uni- versity. He said that it is a branch of engineering which has long been recog- nized in Europe, but which has not un- til the last decade been taught in this country. Conditions are changing, how- ever, and Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Nebraska have provided for such instruction, or contemplate doing so, in special buildings or with special ap- pliances and instructors. The greater opportunity in California grows out of its climate, which makes irrigation a necessity; out of the large areas of swamp and overflowed lands. which must be redeemed by dykes and drains; by the vast level stretches of fertile farming land, which make the use of complex and costly machinery possible, and the high prices and scar- city ‘of farm labor, which render the use of the machinery a necessity. It is a kind of training needed by the farm- er to enable him to apply water to his flelds with legs waste and loss; to know how to reclaim lands ruined by seepage and alkall; to know how to select, ad- just and repair pumping machinery.

Bentley, manager of the| I sales department of the California Fruit Canners’ Association, spoke during the | afternoon session on “The Merchant as | a -Factor in Marketing.” He depre-| cated the idea of farmers that the mid- | dlemen must be eliminated, declaring | that his function is inevitable and | proper. He said co-operation as a| means of escape from the middleman | or merchant had failed because of the | farmers’ inability to nurse the business | of selling his product at the time he| worked to bring it forth. The idea that | because so much fruit had been con-| sumed in onme year so much must be| consumed the next is unwise, the| speaker said. He said fruit is not an| absolute necessity. Its sales Increase as the product is advertised, pushed and properly handled, and this work he believed the merchant did legitimately and well. The ts are not get- ting rich while the farmers starve, for | there are more failures than successes in the business. i “Plato, referring to his citizens for an | ideal republic,” said the speaker, “spoke of salesmen or merchants as those who did that work because of in- | ability or unfitness to do anything else, | Let your humble merchants, then, now, as in Plato’s time, continue to buy and sell and trade in your product, because they really may not be able to do any- thing else.” | The improving and beautifying of | value in that they serve to develop interest ' cqlifornia’s highways was the subject | and to promote inquiry with respect to matters B e e o0 rmanent promperity as¢ | Olney, secretary of the Camino Real | B tor un Sigd dent. or us a8 an’ agri- Chltual people to revise our methods. . to adapt our system to new times and conditions, and when this shall be done a day of larger prosperity than it has ever known before will dawn upon California. “The Farmer as a Business Man” was and _ therefore Dull Times Not What ‘Oakland Workmen Want MEETING VOICES THIS SENTIMENT Chairman Yates Reminds Audience That Republicanism Means Prosperity. e e OAKLAND, Oct. 27.—The first Re- publican meeting of the campaign in the Forty-ninth District was held last evening at Alcatraz Hall, Peralta and Seventh streets.
