He must have been a sav- " |ing sort of man if the allegations in his wife's complaint for divorce are (true. She says that in spite of his | ownership of $40,000 worth of stocks |and bonds he “has' allowed her only 1812 a month for the last five years | for the pugchase of food for the family | and during that time he has compelled | her to subsist on beans, rice, stale | bread and rancid butter.

Marshal Kerns has been informed that only persons familiar to some extent with the company’'s business are likely to have attempted the burglary, and he is now searching for the men fice of the company for several days. Agent J. R. Hufison has given the Marshal, and believes they will be ap- prehended very soon. “If strange cracksmen had entered our office to do sald Hudson this morning, ‘‘they naturally would have sought to force open a big steel safe which stood conspicuously in the office, but which contained nothing. That safe was merely in storage. The burglars tackled our ‘way’ bhox, a big steel affair. 1 suppose they knew that we do a busi- ness of several hundred dollars a day, and thought the moriey would be in the box. They were fooled. The box con- tained only $1.75, and the thieves didn't get even that.” The express company's office resem- bled a wreck this morning when Agent Hudson arrived. Boxes and packages had been piled against the front door to deaden the sound of the operations. Packages had been opened and their contents thrown about the room. The way box stood in the rear room, with a hole drilled for an inch and a half through the lock. Blankets had been thrown over the box, it being the in- tention of the operators, apparently, to use dvnamite to blow the safe open, and have the blankets deaden the Entrance to the place was made through a small window in a closet at_the rear. President J. N.

ARTISTS NOW LIONS OF THE SOCIETY SET: Al el o By Zoe Green Radcliffe. OAKLAND, Dec, 6.—Not for years, it ever, has society been so interested In art and art- ists as it seems to be at the present moment. The smart set is going about seeking whom it may lionize, and the man or woman who has done anything worth while in the world of art or letters must pay the penalty of soclal popularity. Not only does the writer find himself developing unexpectedly into an ora- tor on a small scale—tor the faddists must hear their Idol's volce—but the artist's ‘garret is invaded by these enthusiasts, and *‘studio teas” are among the delightful social func- tions of the hour. Mrs. Guy Waterbury, when she was Laura Prather, first started the fad in Oakland, and the pleasant hours spent in her studio Wil be long remembered by those who were honored with an invitation., Miss Flora Bell, Mrs. Jack Hampton's sister, who has a cozy studio in San Francisco, has also frequently entertalned, and Miss Emma Rob- erts s another artist who is hostess at occa- sional delightful affairs. Mrs. D. W. Gelwicks is planning an after- noon for the near future and her guests will be given an opportunity, while sipping & cup of tea to view some of the clever sketches made during the summer. Mrs. Gelwicks has done @ number of tiny pastel landscapes that are little gems. Miss De Neale Morgan is exhibiting a fine collection of water colors at her home, 611 Nineteenth street. Yesterday afternoon a few friends participated in a little informal ‘‘tea.” Miss Morgan spent the summer at Carmel-by- the-Sea and she has perpetuated many charm- ing bits of that picturesque place. Nature in her placid moods seems to appeal most to Miss Morzan. The white sand dunes of Monterey, a vista of dark oaks with the sunshine beyond, a pale, peaceful sunset—all these and more has Miss Morgan caught with water color and pastel. ’ C. P. Nellson has just taken to his San Francisco studio the bits of Old Mexico which have been attragting attention at Saake's Art Gallery. There were many delightful - lnte- riors and exteriors of historic Mexico, partic- ularly a fascinating sketch of an old convent window. He has several paintings of old adobe buildings that are exceptionally finec Few artists can put into their work the poetry that distinguishes these sketches.

Heaton, the designer and builder of the airship California Messenger, as- serts that since the trial trip of the craft on. Sunday representatives of the Russian and Japanese governments have called upon him to learn whether his flying vessel could be utilized in war. Heaton says he would not construct any airship for the Czar, although he may do business with the representa- tives of the Mikado. So severe was the test that Heaton subjected the California Messenger to on Sunday that some of the seams in the balloon, that was inflated with hydrogen gas, were -started. Heaton has deflated the mammoth bag and will give it an overhauling before he makes another ascent. He says it will be a week or ten days before he will be ready for his next flight. Concerning the overtures made by men purporting to répresent Japan and Russia, Heaton said: The Japanese Consul at San Francisco was to witness a flight of my airship to-day, but was disappointed when I let him know that the machine was undergoing repairs and that 1 would not be prepared to make another trip within & week or ten days.

In preparation for the preliminary examination of David Kiniry, burglar and thug, on the charge of having murdered Policeman James H. Smith, a year ago, police officials have com- pleted their work of gathering and: collecting the evidence which they have in hand. The last step in ar- rangement of the testimony to be presented . was taken to-day when Chief Hodgkins, Captain of Police W. J. Petersen and Prosecuting Attorney A. P. Leach made a critical examina- ticn of the locality in which the shoot- ing occurred. Leach and the police started from Fourteenth and Jackson streets, and covered all of the ground through | that part of the Lakeside district down to Fourteenth and Oak streets, where . Goldstein, Kiniry's companion, fell dead after he had fled from Smith, who had shot him. This tour of inspection was made for the purpose of fixing carefully in the minds of those who will prosecute Kiniry the exact location of each of the important points in the scene. ' A scaled diagram of the locality has been made by the County Surveyor's office to help the prosecution in pre- senting its case. There is no doubt in the minds of the police as to thein ability to pre- sent a flawless mass of evidence against Kiniry. Every detail has been covered with utmost care, because the police realize that in the man charged with the murder they hold an ex- ceptional prisoner. They are sat- isfied from the record Kiniry made in Los Angeles that he would do murder without a second thought to gain ho- erty or to escape arrest under any circumstances. The police and Prose- | cuting Attorney Leach are confident that they will present their gase in |such a convincing shape that there | will be nothing left for surmise as to his guilt. To the end that not a point should be overlooked the city has been scoured for evidence. Many persons have been interviewed and, it is said, some important facts about the shoot- | | ing will be brought out at the trial. | { The examination will be commenced | Thursday morning before Police Judge George Samuels. Kiniry has made no move toward getting legal help. He has said he will conduct his own case at the preliminary hearing and will depend upon the State to furnish him an attorney when the trial shall be- held in the Superior Ccurt. The prosecution has no ques- tion that sufficient evidence will be presented at the examination to war- | rant the holding of Kiniry for trial. The prisoner is closely guarded and is seen by no one except the jail of- ficers and policemen in touch with the case.

Sorrowing friends crowded St Mary's Cathedral yesterday to pa their last tribute of respect to the memory of the late William A. Deane.

W.; Woodmen of the World and Altahmos Tribe, Im- proved Order of Red Men, assembled outside and awaited the arrival of the funeral procession. At the bier State and county officers, members of the judiciary and of many fraternal or- ders stood with bared heads bowed in reverence.

The interment was private, The pallbearers were John J.. Greif, J. J.

Mrs. Wal- ter Longbotham rendered Mattei's “Non Torno” with exquisite effect, her fine, rich contralto giving full value to the composition. Mrs. Longbetham also sang Sieber's “Die Alpenrose” with . . perfect appreciation of the beauty of the melodious song. ,Two Christmas carols (ancient), ‘“Listen, Lordlings, Unto Me” and “From Far Away,” were gems faultlessly ren- dered by the Cathedral Mission choir.
