Gilpin, who for fourteen Zachary vears was City Treasurer of Oakland, | died yesterday at Colfax, Placer Coun- ty, where he went last July hoping to improve his health, failing for some time. Mr. Gilpin was one of the best known of the pioneer residents of Oakland. He had lived here since 1877, which had been He first came to California with his parents, who crossed the plains in 1849. He was edu- cated at the old college in Oakland, which later became the University of California. After completing his course | at college he removed to Nevada, where he served as deputy county recorder of | Lyon County, and was later elected to the office of County Recorder, which he filled for two years. Mr. Gilpin was for six years a mem- ber of the firm of Babbitt, Manuel & Gilpin, commission merchants. In 1878 he married Mary Babbitt, the daughter of his partner. In 1884 he was appoint- ed deputy city treasurer by G. M. Fish- er, and in 1889 was himself elected to the office of City Treasurer. After his retirement from political life Giipin established Wood Company. George W. the Standard Johnson was his partner in the venture, but the | business failed to pay as well as was expected, and Gilpin's financial affairs became badly tangled, the trouble final- ly culminating in the filing of several attachments on the property of the company and on property bwned by Gilpin and his wife. The first of these attachments was filed on July 28, 1904, by W. E. Dean as the assignee of Dr. ‘W. D. Huntington, who brought suit to collect on a note given by Gilpin for $3600. On July 29 an attachment was filed by H. Blais on a piece of property owned by Mrs. Gilpin to recover on a note for $1500 signed by Gilpin, his wife, lGenrge W.lJohnson and the wife of the atter. Shortly before these attachments were filed Gilpin went to Colfax in an effort to regain his health, but it is be- lieved that his financial trouble preyed on his mind and prevented recovery. The news of his death was received last night by his family from a man named McDonald, with whom Gilpin had been associated in mining enter- prises. Mr. Gilpin was 57 years of age and leaves a_wife and one son, Lee Gil- pin, who reside at 1954 Webster street. The son has gone to Colfax to bring the remains to this city for interment. —_——— INCENDIARIES TRY TO FIRE SCHOOL BUILDING.{ Flames Discovered and Extinguished by Two Young Women Who Were Passing. OAKLAND, Dec. 2.—An_ attempt made this evening by an unknown in- cendiary “to destroy the Clawson School, at Thirty-fourth and Magnolia streets, was frustrated in the nick of time by two young wemen, who dis- covered the blaze just as it was lick- ing the woodwork of the school and promptly extinguished it before any dzmage was done, The rebug attempted to set fire to the school from the outside by build- ing ture a fire against and had it the struc- remained un- discovered for a few moments more the blaze would have become very hard to control. The light of the flames was seen by the two women, who were passing, and they at once went to work to save the building. After putting the fire out they re- ported the attempt to destroy the school to the firemen at the house of Chemical No. 2, who at once notified the police. Young women were not learned. —_—fe—— MUST LEARN TACTICS OR FORFEIT DIPLOMA “Skipping” Drills and Military Studies military tactics. The matter was taker ‘Will Not Be Tolerated at Nevada University.

Free With Every Small Ad in Sunday Call. ¢ See Small Ad Page for Furthe; A Page for Further in Judge Ogden’s court in Oakland during the Van Horn divorce trial.-The court on last Wednesday gave Van Horn the decrce he prayed for, ap- parently giving credence to the hus- band’s charge that Adolph XKnopf had heen guilty of intimacy wlth Mrs. Van Horn. Mrs. Van Horn was proprietor of a boarding-house at 2222 Bancroft way, where many university students lived, Knopf being among them. Van Horn lived apart from his wife part of the time. He was formerly a school prin- cipal at San Rafael. He suspected his wife of unseemly conduct and swore in court that he saw Knopf and Mrs. Van Horn behave in an improper manner. His witnesses testified that Knopf had accompanied Mrs. Van Horn to a lodging-house in Oakland at night. The case was bitterly fought, with counter charges and recrimination. The uni- versity folk took special interest in the proceedings because several prom- inent students were on the witness stand and Mrs. Van Horn was well known in Berkeley. Knopf was called into President ‘Wheeler's private office when the di- vorce was concluded, and he gave to the president his word of honor that the charges aguinst him were untrue. The sequel to that conversation came this. morning, when President Wheeler said to the students, who packed Har- mon Gymnasium, following an ad- dress by Joseph Redding of San Fran- ciseo: Mr. Adolph Knopt, a graduate student and holder of the Goewey scholarship, has given me his word of honor that the allegations of moral uncleanness made against him are ab- solutely false. I believe him. I belleve he is gatirely innocent; otherwioy he could mot stay The announcement was received in silence, the students being unprepared for it by any preliminary word from the president and many of them ap parently being unaware of its signifi cance, not knowing, perhaps, that con siderable adverse criticism had been made by the public of Knopf and of the university authorities for permit- ung him to remain as a university stu- dent. Rev. A. L. Parsons of the Episcopal Church of Berkeley addressed the stu- dents to-day on the subject of “Tdeal Homes.” He reterred to the Van Horn divorce case and Indirectly to Knopf, saving that recent occurrences touch- ed upon by President Wheeler illus- trated his peint that “levity too often characterizes the putting on and the putting off of the marriage relation.” Joseph D). Redding entertained the students with a thirty minutes’ ac- count of a bicycle tour in Italy which he and Hugo 'Toland took several years ago, telling in humorous fashion of his experiences and emphasizing the cheapness and desirability of travel- ing away from the beaten paths abroad if one desires to really secure benefit from a foreign trip. e YOUNG COUPLE START LIFE ON FRIDAY e By Zoe Green Radcliffe. OAKLAND, Dec. 2.—Superstition evidently finds no lurking place in the mind of Miss Louise Stubbs, for though to-day Is Friday, the one day of the seven that brides usually avcid, she chose to wed the man of her choice, Morgan Woodward Jellett, this evening. The simple home ceremony was characteristic of the bride, whose modest, unassuming man- ners have been one of her chief, charms. White and green, snowy chrysanthemums blending with feathery ferns and palms, mingled artis- tically in the general decorative scheme. The bridal gown of ivory satin and’ rare lace was both rich and beautifil, and a long veil was caught in the bride’s bonny brown bair with orange blossoms, roses forming the shower bouquet. In pale green eilk and carrying an armful of white carnations, Miss Blanche Tisdale at- tended the bride, Jack Stubbs performing the same pleasant duty for the groom. Dr. J. E. Stubbs read the service that made bis niece Mrs, Jellett. After a brief honeymoon Mr. and Mrs. Jel lett wili reside In Oakland in the pretty home awaiting them on Summit street, and the new menage will probably become a rendezvous for musical folk, as the bride is an accomplished sirl With a very pleasing contralto voice that has made her a popular member of the Wed- nesday Morning Club, To-night's bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. bbs, Mr. Stubbs be- T B ot of ‘ths Wil Raret HAf8c e J.

OAKLAND, Dec, 2.—Suit to have settled how far the buildings erected ~| upon his land constitute a lien against it was begun by James Irvine to-day against Warren G. Sanborn; Oscar G. and William G. May and others. The defendants advanced loans upon the realty and accepted mortgages from men who had no title to it and they now allege that they have an interest in the property because their money went into the houses built upon the premises. The action grows out of a transac- tion whereby a man assuming to be the owner of a block of land at Dwight way and Choate street in Berkeley sold it to E. J. Shepardson and his brother, who in turn borrow- ed the money with which to build the houses. When the real Irvine turned up they deeded him the land, but the cals lasy evening inat whs & vers der (LY holdera of the mortgage now have Ty nothing but a suit in equity as secur- ity for their money. Irvine, however, brings the actio nto see what sort of a settlement he can make for the buildings. X ——— s ‘Want, Pay for Books. OAKLAND, Dec. 2.—The trial of a similar suit to the one brought by E.

Bitterly resenting what he termed an ‘“‘underhanded attack upon his honor and integrity,” Professor Frank Soule, head of the civil engin:er!n: depart- ment of the university, to-day treated his class to an excoriation of a student, name unknown, who has sought to put Professor Soule in the light of a ‘double-dealing grafter.” Professor Soule's announcement reated a sensation. veal the name of the student who had 80 excited his wrath, contenting him- self with saying that the offender is a senfor connected with the Engineering College. The Carnegie Steel Company and the Cambria Steel Company, giant cor- porations that are deadly rivals, figure in the story which Professor Soule tcld to his class. Professor Soule a few months ago secured from the Cambria Company several hundred | books, dealing with problems in con- nection with steel material, paying about 50 cents apiece for them, and selling them to studenfs, who sub- scribed for them at the professor’'s suggestion. Later Mr. Isaacs of the Carnegie Company, hearing that Professor Soule’s students were paying for the Cambria books about steel, sent to the department here a quantity of the Carnegie books for distribution gratis among the junior class. To his class to-day Professor Soule said: The co-operative store took charge of the books and under my advice gave them omnly to those who had shown encugh interest in the matter to subscribe to the Cambria books. After all these had been supplied the books were given to the members of the class who applied for them, as was the Intention of the donor. A man in the senior class of mechanical en- gineering, who has no claim upon me or upon the books, wrote to Mr. Isaacs of the Carnegle company, accusing me of giving the books only to those who would subscribe for the pub- leation of a rival steel company, the Cambria. He accused me of dealing in a very con- temptible way with the firm, which was kind enouzh to do me and the class a favor. He wrote what was absolutely untrue and did it without consulting me of giving me a chance to state the true facts. Later, to Mr. Isaacs for more books, the supply hav- ing proved inadequate, 1 wes told that no more could be given this year. Gentlemen, 1 resent. the action of this senior very keenly. He attacked my honor and has put me In a false light. I resent it particu- larly because it was done behind my back. There are six of the Carnegie books left, and 1 shall leave their distribution to one who has tackled several things successfully. Inciuding the Stanford football team—James Force of the varsity football team and this class. The class gave three cheers for Pro- fessor Soule and the books in ques- tion were put into the hands of O. M. Boyle for distribution, Force being ebsent. —_—————————— Army and Navy Orders.

REDDING, Dec. 2.—As Miss Au- della Welch was driving along the county road from Anderson to-nmight her horse took fright at a passing train and turning suddenly bolted toward town. One of the rear wheels . of the buggy struck a telegraph pole and was knocked off, but Miss Weich pluckily held on to the reins. She endeavored _to keep the frightened animal in the middie of the road, but the horse ran between the fence and another pole, knocking one of the front wheels off. The second shock - threw the plucky girl from the buggy and she struck upon her head, frae- turing the skull. There are but slight hopes for her recovery. B SIMPLE CEREMONY MARKS FUNERAL OF JANAUSCHEK Little Band of Actors Attends the Seryices Over Body of Once Noted Aflnsl; NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—A little bana of actors gathered in the chapel of an undertaker’s establishment to-day to take part in the funeral service over the body of Madame Francesca Ro- mana Janauschek, once a noted ac-’ tress, who died last Monday in a home on Long Island. The . very simple ceremony was in marked contrast to the many stirring events of her long life. It consisted of the reading of the brief service of the Roman Catho- lic.church and a eulogy b® Miiton No- bles, a member of the executive com- mittee of the Actors’ Fund, which cared for the deceased in her dp(.lm« ing years. mm
