Throughout the prosecution’s case lhe‘ evidence has been more or less sensa- | tional, dragging, as it has, the names | of men high in the councils of the Gov- | ernment into the public eye in an un- enviable light and leaving many pe- cullar transactions to be explained by the defense. To-day’s testimony was| exceptionally startling. | A. W. Heidicke, an aged woodsman, | broken by his gulit, confessed the story | of his relations with the accused men | and women and told a story that could not be shaken under cross-examina- tion by Judge O’Day, chief counsel for the defense. From HeiSicke's testi- | mony many things are expected to | spring. i The name of N. Haskell Withe, the| |lumberman of La Crosse, Wis.,, waa connccted with the case to-day by the| ! testimony of Ira P. Hower, who told of | having loaned Horace G. McKinley | 182100 on the George A. Howe lands, | which were transferred to Withe. | The testimony of Heidicke told the | story of the alleged conspiracy prac- | tically from its inception up to the time | the Grand Jury made its investigation | and to-night his story remains uncon- troverted. The defense will begin to show its hand at to-morrow’s session of the court. — e YOLO SUPERVISORS RESTRAINED BY OOURT Rico Brothers Complain That a Pro- posed Reclamation District Will Injure Them in Business. Complaint has been filed in the | United States Circuit Court by Joseph | Gonzales Rico and Frank G. Rico, ! subjects of the King of Portugal, against the Board of Supervisors of | Yolo County and J. H. Glide of Sac- | ramento. The complainants allege that they own 207 acres of reclaimed swamp land in_reclamation district No. 307; that Glide owns 887 acres in the same district, and that he has petitioned the Supervisors to divide | the district by making Glide's land a new district. If this should be done, the complainants say they will be de- ditches, etc., now in the district and will be obliged to expend large sums Judge Morrow granted a temporary injunction until the matter can be heard on its merits. Rabbi Nieto Preaches Sermon. Rabbi Nieto delivered a powerful sermon last night at Congregation Sherith Israel, in which he told of radical changes in history from the times of the ancients. He advocated that while changes were essential, still none should forget or cast aside those traditions which had been the founda- tion of all that is great in the world to- day. —_———————— If you desire a good appetite and wish to enjoy.every meal you eat, take Lash's Kidney and Liver 4 | POINT | William A.

Shortridge, attorney for A serious ques- tion mnvolving the rights of litigants is raised. On November 5, 1903, - Mrs. Lois Mathews was granted an interlocutory decree of divorce and awarded the cus- tody of their children, with $30 a month alimony. The prescribed year had elapsed, but the final decree had not been entered, and yesterday Math- ews sought to deprive his wife of a right to divorce by presenting an afhidavit to the court charging her with the commission of specific acts of in- fidelity on dates between April and November of this year. Judge Troutt held that the mction was in the nature of an application for a new trial, and he denied it. Thereupon he granted Mrs. Mathews a final decree and set next Thursday for the hearing of a motion to modify the decree to permit the husband to have the custody of the children and cease the payment of alimony. Mr. Shortridge remarked | that the court was granting th divorce in the face of an uncontradict- ed affidavit that the wife had been un- | faithful. SHORTRIDGE ARGUES. Attorney Shortridge contended that the interiocutory decree was not a divorce, and that until the final decree is granted the parties are married. Only two things, he said, could dis- solve the union—death and a final de- cree. Therefore, if a plaintiff were granted an interlocutory decree and | should thereafter commit any act in violation of the marriage contract the court could not hold him or her xguilt- less, and should decline to grant the final decree, which is the divorce. In several of the departments of court yesterday orders for alimony and maintenance were made. In Judge Troutt’s court Maud C. Potter showed that she had been active in trying to compel her husband, who is a grip- man on the Hayes-street line, to pay $70 he owes, but Judge Troutt thought | there was not sufficient evidence of service of the order to show cause and continued the hearing. Judge Sloss ordered A. K. Henry to pay Isabella M. Henry $7 60 a week | until the trial cf her divorce suit on January 9. Judge Kerrigan gave Thomas B. Eagen of San Jose a week in which to pay up and ordered L. H. Guion to contribute $50 a month to Rosie Guion. Fred W. Murphy, owner of a half in- terest in the $50,000 business of the Pacific Boller Works, was commanded by Judge Murasky to give his wife, | Lillian, $50 a month for herself and four-month-old babe, and Dr. D. Colburn, & dentist, was instructed to pay $40 & month to his wife, Emily, whom he married last May and who sued him for separate maintenance. Leontine Weber, who declines to get a divorce from Albert Weber, was awarded $35 a month by Judge Troutt. Thomas Collins, an employe of the United States Mint, was told by Judge Graham to pay his wife’s alimony In a week or go to jail. DIVORCE GRANTED. Divorces were granted by Judge Troutt to Fmma R. Miller from Otis H. Miller, desertion; to,Annie M. Wil- liamson from C. cruelty. Py Judge Graham to Johan- Gorman, cruelty; to Lulu I Case from Robert | Case, cruelty. Judge Kerrigan an- | nulled the marriage of Mae Elizabeth | Brown and John O. was illegal. Brown got an interlocu- tory decree of divorce from his wife, za, on May 8, 1902, and on the same day went to another county and wed- ded Elizabeth. Suits for divorce were filed by Grace | L. Davis against Preston R. Davis, a civil engineer, for neglect; Theresa | Riley against John Riley, cruelty. —— e TECHNICAL SOCIETY HEARS BENNETT'S OONCLUSIONS Claimg That Man Does Not Maintain High Standards of Ablility at Night. The Technical Society of the Pa- cific Coast held its second session yes- terday at the Mechanics’ Library building, 81 Post street, George W. Dickie, the president, in the chair. In a paper on “Some Weak Points in Long-Distance Electric Transmission” James C. Bennétt stated that a promi- nent characteristic of the many stop- pages of current is the time of their occurrence. On referring to records it | is to be observed, said Bennett, that by far the greater number take place | at night. Mechanically this should not | be so, a fact which inclines him to the belief that its principal cause must be one that renders the occurrence well- nigh unavoidable, vis.: That men do not maintain their highest standard of ability and reliability at night as dur- ing the daytime. Bennett sald that night is, as all know, not a natural time for man to be expected to be fully up to his high- | est standard of mental activity. Frank P. Medina read a paper on “Engineering and the Law” and J.| Richards gave a paper on “Phenomena | of Machine Operations.” In the evening Edward T. Hewitt delivered an interesting address on “Trade Schools.” This afternoon the society will hear a paper by Marsden Manson on “Durability of the Mate- rials of Masonry Used in San Fran- cisco,” and Otto von Geldern will ex- plain a practical method devised by bim for azimuthing and adjusting a modern gun in our important harbor defense. Von Geldern’s subject will commend itself to those interested in coast artillery. —_—e—— ‘Will Argue by Briefs, The demurrer of P. Marsicano to the complaint of the State of Califor- nia for the abatement of “Marsicano’s place” on Dupont street was on the calendar in Judge Sloss’ department yesterday, but the court was not pre- pared to hear the arguments. He said that he would hear them on Monday, but Attorney Collins suggested that the Monnier will contest, in which he is engaged, would then be on trial. He then went to Judge Graham to see if the latter case could go over, but Judge Graham would not consent. Thereupon Mr. Collins said he would submit his Marsicano argument by brief. This will be answered orally by Max Kuhl or H. W. Hutton, and Mr. Collins will reply in turn by brief. In this way he can handle two cases at once. C. Y. Willlamson, | Brown because it | Governor Pardee Will Pre- side at Mass-Meeting in This City Monday Night LEADING MEN TO SPEAK Movement to Arouse Public Interest in Arbitration Treaties . Meets Success The agitation in all parts of the United States to urge Congress at its coming session to ratify the proposed treaties of international arbitration is finding a fertile field in San Fran- cisco. Leading citizens have allied themselves in hearty enthusiasm with the movement. On Monday evening a ! mass meeting will be held at the Tem- | ple Emanu-ElL Speech making will arouse popular interest and resolu- tions will be adopted asking Congress to work for international peace. Governor George C. Pardee will pre- side at the meeting. He will be called to the chair by Circuit Judge W. W. Morrow, who is president of the Pa- cific Coast branch of the American Conference on International Arbitra- tion. Some of the best speakers and most prominent men of the West will argue for the American Government's par- ticlpation in the treaty making going forward among the nations. Among those who will deliver addresses are Dr. David Starr Jordan, Dr. Benja- min Ide Wheeler, Rabbi Jacob Voor- sanger, the Rev. Bradford Leavitt, llv‘ranklln K. Lane, Sheldon Kellogg | and Unitea States Circuit Judge Wil- liam H. Hunt of Montana. During Cleveland's administration the effort was made to have the Unit- ed States join in arbitration treatles, but it failed. A determined move- | ment is now being made throughout | the country to bring about favorable legislation and meetings similar to that in San Francisco Monday evening are to be held this month in all the large cities. John W. Foster, former- ly Secretary of State, is at the head | of the organization formed to arouse public opinion. | 7 rreaties with Great Britain, France, Germany and Mexico are now ready for submission to the Senate. Others areincourse of preparation. It is hoped and expected that the United States will take a leading part in the prog- | ress of arbitration by adopting these | compacts. The tenor of them all is that “differences of a judiclal order, | or relative to the interpretation of ex- | isting treaties, which it may not have been possible to settle by diplomacy, | shall be submitted to the Permanent Court of Arbitration established by | the convention of July 29, 1899, at The Hague, on condition, however, | that neither the vital interests nor the | independence or homor of the two contracting states nor the interests of any state other than the two con- tracting states are involved.” e Fountain Head for Fountain Pens.

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 2.—Addi- son Chester Dewey, who was relieved by the death of his wife from a suit for divorce, has been making life interest- ing for her sisters. Mrs. H. H. Harkin- | son, one of the sisters and executrix of the dead woman’s will, had given or- ders to an undertaker in Upland to pre- pare the body for shipment to San Francisco, where it was to be buried. Dewey learned of this and signified his disapproval to Mrs. Harkinson, who paid no attention to him. Then Dewey called on the undert; that the body should be given burial in the spot of his selection, but the un- dertaker, too, ignored him. Baffled at Upland, Dewey came to San Bernardino and tried to find his at- torney to secure an injunction to pre- vent the removal of the body, but the attorney was not in the city and Dewey would consult no other. Dewey is said to have declared when the divorce summons was served on him that he also had grounds for a di- vorce and that he was glad his wife had taken such a step. Sensational de- velopments are expected when the will is contested. ————— Says Good Words for Japan. Bishop M. C. Harris of the Ameri- can Missionary Society gave an inter- esting lecture last evening in the au- ditorium of the Y. M. C. A. building on Japan’s effort to overcome the in- roads of Russia in Korea and Man- churia. The speaker related the story of Japan’'s attempt to keep from be- ing gobbled up by the Russian bear prior to the breaking out of the war. He spoke for the Japanese and said that the American people would learn that the’ success of the Mikado’s men would mean a great deal for the Unit- ed States, especially the Pacific Coas'. A large part of the audience was composed of young Japanese students, | who listened with great interest to the Bishop's words and frequently inter- rupted him with applause. Bishop Harris said that the great peril in the Far East was not the “yellow peril,” but the “white peril.” Japan would eventually win and the threatened in- vasion of Korea and curtailing of trade in Manchuria would no longer be a menace to the commerce of this country. After the lecture a subscription for the benefit of the poor Japanese fam- lies whose men folk are fighting their country’s battles was taken up. ————— $35,000 Creditors’ Sale. ‘Wait until Monday morning, 10 o'clock, when the great creditors’ sale will take lace, 762 Market street. $35,000 of laron’s fine goods from Gear; street must be sold in a few days. ine suits for ladies will from $1.50 to $4. signee, E.
