This he did and this afternoon pointed all the present force in the as deputies. | ing the grave doubt in the mind of Judge Greene as to whether ccurt could be held without a legal iff, the case of David Kiniry, with James H.

BERKELEY, Feb. 27.—Rivaling in importance the discovery by Professor Perrine of a sixth satellite of Jupi- ter, which discovery was made last month at the Lick Observatory, comes a second announcement to-day from Director Campbell, who informs Pres- ident Wheeler of the State University that Professor Perrine has discovered a seventh satellite. In the opinion of Director Campbell this latest discovery of Professor Per- rine reveals ‘“one of the most inter- esting bodies in our entire solar sys- tem.” The facts concerning the dis- covery and the circumstanc under which the Lick Observatory astron- omer made his extraordinary find in the heavens are contained in the fol- lowing letter to President Wheeler: Lick Observatory, University of California, February 27, 1905. me great pleasure to announce that satellite of Jupiter has been discov- Assistant Astronomer Perrine of tl ory staff. It will be known as | atellite. The dlecovery .was ac ade on Janvary 6 last, but announce of the fact was not justified until the present time. The sixth satellite, first observed by Profes- sor Perrine on photographs taken early in De- cember, was next récorded on the photographs of January 2, 3 and 4, and public announce- cured on the last three dates, and was warded by discovering the image of a very faint body which changed its position from night to night. It was moving in such & way that the probabilities were in favor of f ing & satellite of Jupiter; but, at the same time, the possibility existed that it was one of the large group of asteroids whose orbits lie between those of Mars and Jupiter. Thi question could not be resolved until obse) vations of the new body had extended over several weeks, Unfortunately, the unfavorable e res long enough to record this faint did not fully resolve the doubt as to the char- Photographs secured by Mr. Perrine on February, 21 and 22, and his computations based upon' them, have enabled him_to decide definitely that this body satellits of Jupiter. Its photographic ma tude seems to be about the sixteenth. e number of telescopes which would permit visual observations of it is therefore limited. The direction of this seventh satellite from Jupiter, on the evening of February 22, was B7 degrees east of north, and its distance from the planet was nineteen minutes of arc. Its motion s carrying it southeasterly at the rate of one minute of an arc per day. parent motion around Jupiter is in the direc- apparent motion of the sixth satelll is in the reverse directi Whether these satellites are actually revol ing around Jupiter in the same direction as the five Inner satellites, or in the opposite direction, cannot be stated at the present time. 3t is cerfain, however, that the planes of their orbits make a considerable angle with each other, and that they make large angles with the plane of Jupiter's equator. The distances of the two satellites from Jupiter are not very unequal, in both cases probably lyi between six millions and eight millions of miles. Their corresponding periods of revolution around the planet would, therefore, be seven or elght months in each case. On many accounts these two satellites promise to be among the most interesting bodles in our entire solar system.

The period of one revolution is forty- nine years, the companion star having about one-half the mass of the bright star, whose motion during the last nine years is shown to have been relatively toward the solar system. The same bulletin describes nine stars, whose velocities in the line of sight are variable, owing to’their being at- tended by massive invisible compan- iens. The invisible component in each case causes the bright start to revolve in an elliptic orbit round the center The most interesting of these is the well-known . Castor. Oberva- ticns with the Mills spectrograph proved that Castor’s two components revolve around each other in nine days sixteen hours. The North Pole star, known to be a triple star, has a com- pound motion, the dbright star and one companion revolving around their center of mass in ‘three days twenty- three hours and this rapid binary sys- tem in turn revolving around the cen- ter of mass of the three stars in ap- proximately twelve years. JILTED WOMAN SEES CHANCE TO RECOVER Sues on Judgment for $425850 Awarded Ten Years Ago in Breach of Promise Action. OAKLAND, Feb. 27.—A suit ten years old, the outcome of a breach of promise case decided in favor of Jo- hanna Albertson of San Francisco in 1894, against Joseph S, Calderia, whereby $4258 60 was awarded her for the deception practiced, was re- vived in the courts to-day. Miss Albertson was never able to collect anything on her judgfnent, as she never could find any property in Calderia’s name. Recently, however, it was discovered that a small ranch purchased by Calderia from F. I. Le- mos at Haywards had been trans- ferred by Calderia to his wife four days after the judgment had been rendered against him. It was trans- ferred by her to Joseph King and from him to J. B. Mendonca, and an effort is now to be made to have these transfers declared fraudulent. The property is now worth about $3000. ————— Red-Headed Woman Missing. OAKLAND, Feb. 27.—Detectives Holland and Quigley are on the trail of a red-headed woman. She is miss- ing from the residence of Frank Gas- per, a Southern Pacific Company em- ploye at 1566 Fifth street. That is all the police know about the case. Gasper reported at headquarters this morning that such a woman as he de- scribes had disappeared from the house after two days’ employment as a domestic. He knew neither her name nor whence she came. Her age might be about 26 years. FEARS T0 FACE INTESTIGATION Woman Found Begging RBuns Away From Officer of the Associated Charities ——— FIGHTS FOR LIBERTY Miss Helen Swett Has Ex- citing Experience With Smooth Female Impostor Oakland Office San #rancisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Feb. 27. Fearing an investigation by the Associated Charities, which she knew must expose her as an impostor and bring punishment’ for begging, woman giving her name as Mrs. Smi and her residence as 1421 McAlliste! {street, this morning forcibly released herself from the custody of Miss Helen Swett, the assistant secretary of the association, and sought safety in flight. Miss Swett attempted to de- tain the woman until she could sum- mon a policeman, but her captive broke away and escaped. The Impostor has long-been working in Oakland. This morning Miss Swett ‘was notified by telephone that she was at a private residence on Walsworth lavenue. The assistant secretary at once drove to the house. The woman agreed to accompany Miss Swett to the office. She made no resistance until they were near the door of the office, when she turned and ran to Fifth street and boarded a car. Miss Swett followed. Seeing she would be overtaken, the woman left the car. Miss Swett attempted to hold her, but she tore herself away and ran down Fifth street to Franklin, where she disappeared. About two weeks ago the Associated Charities was notified that the woman was working in the neighborhood of Filbert street. She gave her name in one place as Mrs. Barry and in another as Mrs. Reed, and her address as 315 ‘Wood street and 450 William street. There are no such numbers. Her story is' that she is the mother of five children and that her husband is cut of work; wherefore she asks tempor- ary aid. . RAILWAY MAN 1S VERY ILL Vice President Warner of Missouri Pacific - Stays Only a Day in This City The ‘friehds or C. G."Warner, vice president of the Missouri Pacific Rail- road, were concerned over a report yesterday that he was seriously ill in his private car at Third and Town- sent streets. Vice President Warner has been in ill health for a number of months: Several weeks ago he came west with his daughters hoping that the climate of Southern California would benefit his health. He showed considerable improvement while in Los Angeles and finally progeeded on his journey northward to Monterey, thence to this city, where he arrived in his car Sat- urday night. Vice President Warner had planned to remain in this city for at least a week at the St, Francis Hotel, but vesterday he countermanded his order for rooms. It was later learned that Sunday morning he was taken serious- 1y ill. It was decided to abandon his proposed visit to San Francisco, and yesterday the Southern Pacific officers were requested to have his car trans- ferred to Oakland preparatory to sending it East over the Central Pa- cific. The private car was taken across the bay in the afternoon and was at- tached to the overland leaving here last evening. The Warner party will go direct to St. Louis. Warner is re- garded as one of the best accountants in the railroad service and is widely known throughout the West. His trip to this coast is said to have been made,at the suggestion of the Goulds, who have lately shown a deep interest in his welfare. —_——— PROMINENT SPEAKERS TALK ON PHASES OF MANHOOD Subject Is Ably Discussed Before Berean Soclety of Calvary Presbyterian Church. The phases of physical, mental and spiritual manhood were ably discussed at the meeting of the Berean Society at Calvary Presbyterian Church last night. In speaking of physicial man- hood, Colonel J. P. Irish said, for the safety of the nation, its people should preserve its physical strength. He re- ferred to the decline of the Germans following the wars of Frederick the Great. Then came Father Jan, who, organizing the athletic soclety of Turnérs, in a few generations restored the German physique and fitted them for future conquests. Reév. John Hemphill had spiritual manhood for his portion of the sub- ject. He said he believed in the full development of physical and mental manh'ood, but that if a man neglected the spiritual he could not be a whole man. S. M. Shortridge, who was to speak on “Mental Manhood,” was unable to be present and A. B. Black spoke in his place. He said that the mentality of the man must be attended to and without mentality man would be a great, big machine. Reginald E. Keene sang two num- bers, that were exceedingly well ren- dered.

Auditor Baehr informed the commit- tee that the heads of municipal de- partments are overdrawing their funds in violation of the one-twelfth clause of the charter. “If this continues,” said Baehr, “we will have a condition similar to that of ten years ago when the city was compelled to default in the payr_xixent of bills aggregating a large sum. “Public notice should be given to the merchants of the acts of our boards and commissions in overdraw- ing their appropriations, which will result in the city’s -inability to pay legal demands,” said Supervisor d’An- cona. i The board adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That the various officers, depart- ments and boards of thig city and county be and are hereby directed to file with the Board of Supervisors a statement showing the out- standing liabilities of their respective depart- ments up to March 1 next. The Finance Committee directed the Board of Works to invite bids for the blasting of the hill.along the Cliff House road, on the outer edge of which a concrete parapet is to be built to cost $4500. Commissioner Aigeltinger explained that after an inspection he had come to the com- clusion that the roadway should be widened in order that the parapet may be built on the road instead of on the edge of the cliff which would necessitate a parapet 100 feet high In some places. The Suftro eéstate will be notified to protect its lands as it is designed to build a roadway at least 100 feet wide. The Finance Committee began an inquiry into a deficit of $7800 in the County Hospital fund. Warden Fleming contended that the deficit was $6500, and agreed to flle a state- ment of the liabilities of the institu- tion on March 1. The Board of Works reported a de- ficit in the Bureau of Buildings and stated that unless an extra allowance of $5000 was made it would be com- pelled to lay oft’ & number of me- chanics and stop repairs. Action was deferred until a statement of ‘- ex- penditures is filed. cid T itte 0 hold next Mon‘%e % nvestigat! S O The "o penditures out-of the Robinson and Windell bequest fund.

The Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution notifying the Department of Electricity that for all underground work to be performed after March 15, 1905, formal authorization must be first obtained from the board. The board passed to print the amended ordinance requiring a per- mit to be obtained from the Board of Works as well as the Department of Electricity for the installation. of poles and wires on the streets and sidewalks —————————— WOMEN GOLFERS FORM A STATE ASSOCIATION Ten Clubs Join and First Handicap Tournament Will Be Held Early in April.
