Repeatedly, too, the aurora borealis has glimmered over- head in apparent sympathy with the mysterious alliance. So gar, neither the astuteness of Arrhenius nor the genius of Lord Kelvin has been able to ex- plain the ethereal bond. Indeed, many years ago the last named physicist con- sidered chance to be the Invisible fac- tor, but several of the great solar storms of recent times, with accom- panying magnetic disaster, gave added the theory of which is now an established but un- explained fact, despite the drawback that magnetic storms sometimes oceur when the syn's surface is serenely white, and that enormous spots appear when electrical conditions are normal. This seems to be the case in the past| six weeks, when three spots have crossed the disk visible to the naked Magnetic disturbance limited to locality has been heard of, but the absence of widespread effects noticeable. This, however, cannot un link the accumulated evidence of more than one hundred years. The large spot now mear the center of the disk appeared. on Feb- ruary 25, in nearly its present dimen- | sions of 83,000 miles in length. It is not a return of the great spot which was central in the beginning of February, though it happens to be also in south heliographic latitude and is similar in aspect..

Hogan, who gives his occupation as a hostler, was arrested. yesterday morning on Sacramento street near Kearny by Detective Ed Gibson and booked at the City Prison on a charge of robbery. The. com- plaining witness against him l- Thom- as James of Petaluma. On the night of Fehruarg 36 James was passing the corner of Washing- ton ahd Kearny streets, almost oppo- site.the Hall of Justice, when Hogan approached him and said: “Give me enough coin to get a bed; see.” James replied: “I don’t know you and I need all the money for myself.” Hogan ut- tered an oat% and quickly placing his arm .under James’' chin forced his head back and grabbed James' gold wateh out of his pocket. James reported the robbery to the police and Gibson was detailed on the case. From a description that James gave of the robber Gibson arrested Hogan yesterday. searched at the City Prison a pawn ticket was found for the stolen watch and Gibson recovered it from the pawn shop. . Hogan was identifled as the man who pawned. it. ————————— Both Are Likely to Die.

The Rev. H. N. Bevier pre- sided over the morning session and the Rev. Herbert E. Hayes at the after- noon deliberations. Thefaculty present were the Rev. John Samuel Maclntosh, D.

D., Rev. Hugh Gilehrist, M. A., land Rev. Charles . Gordon - Paterson, B. A Professor Paterson, In speaking of “The Pathos of Progress,” said in part: Progress s .the law of life in the physical, mental and spiritual realm. In.the physical reaim the marvelous accomplishments of the men- of science have given new meaning to the words of Jesus. The Archbishop af Canter- bury said during his recent memorable visit to the United States that the student of the- olcgy must follow all kinds of scientific ad- suspicion or alarm. The law of progress holds also in the higher spheres of mind. and character. In all pro- gress there is mot only pleasure but pathos. In the physical sphere the pathos consists in the terrible price of pain and blood paid for the prozress attained. The world is moving to &n age in which greater liberty of judgment will be united with more loyal obedience to accepted authority. President MacIntosh gave a pietur- esque account of “Some Great Euro- pean Preachers of the Last Century”; the Rev. Frank Rhoda’s subject was ‘“‘Blood Atonement in the Book of He- brews”; the Rev. W. Stuart Wilson spoke on “The Pastor as a Bible Teacher,” and the Rev. Arthur Hicks on “Young People in Organized Church Work.” The session will continue throughout to-day and this evening. and to-mor- row. — e BOARD OF WORKS WANTS A STEEL FOOTBRIDGE Directs Santa Fe Company to Build Permanent Structure on Twen. tieth Street. The Board of Works yesterday di- rected the Santa Fe Railway Company to construct a steel wagon and foot bridge on Twentieth street between Iowa and Tennessee. A resolution previously adopted by the Supervis- ors gives the company five years’ time to build the bridge and requires it to maintain 4 temporary wooden bridge in the meantime. The Board of Works | thinks a permanent steel structure | should be- built as incidental to the proposed grade changes in the Nuevo Potrero district. A delegation from the Potrero Im- provement Club addressed .the. board in behalf of its petition that Kentucky street be kept in a cleanly conditio that the Santa*Fe Company ¥be ' re- quired to grade JIowa streét from Twenty-second te Scotch Hill and in- stall proper drainage facilities in the territory between Twenty-third and Army streets, which is now a stag- nant poo. The board decided to visit the localities complained of to-mor- row at 9 a. m. Bids were ordered invited for the grading and' widening of Cliff avenue from the Great Highway to the CIiff House, so a concrete parapet may be built thereon. Bids were also invited for repairs to bituminous pavements on a number of streets, as published in yesterday’s Call. Arthur Dudley Cross was appointed assistant engineer at $150 per month. Commissioner Aigeltinger stated that a conference would be held next Saturday morning with. Herbert E. Law and J. C. Kirkpatrick relative to the paving of Market street, for which bond: were purchased. Rauer asked the board to fix his bond for blasting a lot on Ellis street between Gough and Octavia, for which he was granted a permit by the Supervisors’ -Street Committee. The Commissioners thought a large bond should be exdcted, Eagan saying facetiously ‘it should be a million dol- lars, and Maestretti holding out for $100,000. They will visit the place be- fore taking action. e —————— Al torpidity of the Hver is prevented by Lash’s Kidney and Liver Bitters. * —————— TROLLEY CAR SCATTERS MILK.—Trol- ley car 1324 of the Eilis outward bound ‘trip_early struck a. milk_wagon. which ‘was crossing Elis street, nedr Jomes, The driver was thrown from his seat.

GRIFFITH WILL G0 T0 PRISON Supreme Court Decides That the Los -Angeles - Mil- lionaire Must Serve Time; TRIES TO MURDER WIFE Jealous ‘Husband Attempts| Her Life When She De- nies His False Charges. —_— The Supreme Court of California yes- | terday “sustained the judgment of the | Superior Court of Los Angeles and ' Griffith J. Griffith, who shot his wife at | Santa Monica in 1903, will go to Sa.n‘ Quentin for two years and pay a fine | of $5000. The case was one.of the most | famous in the history of the State, | the social position and financial stand- | ing of the’ defendant causing a flercely contested legal battle, the defense be- | ing alcoholic insanity. | According. to the testimony of Mrs. Griffith, her husband came into her | room asg she was preparing to leave the Arcadia Hotel in Santa Monica and after a dramatic scene shot her. The ball destroyed one eye and in the ex- citement Mrs. Griffith feil out of a| window. The trial lasted several months and on March 2, 1904, Griffith was pro- nounced gullty of assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced by Judge B. N. Smith. Appeal was taken and Griffith came to this city on a habeas corpus writ, but yesterday's decision by Justice Henshaw and concurred in by Justices McFarland and Lorigan means that the convicted man will have to go to prison. Prior to the shooting Griffith, who is | a millionaire, occupied a place of high | esteem in Los Angeles. He had pre- | sented a larpe park to the city, which | was named after him, and was made an | official in the city government. - After | the shooting, however, Griffith was dis- graced, public sympathy being with the wife. The main roint of the defense in the famous trial was that Griffith, at the time of the shooting, was suffering from alcoholic insanity and that when he drew the revolver he meant only to | threaten his wife, but being excited | and for the time insane accidentally | pulled the trigger. The statements of | the wife on the stand that her hus- | band had often drunk to excess | weighed with the jury in considering the crime. ‘With mind fired by alcohol Gril'fllh entered the room of his wife on the third day of September, 1903, and offer- | ing her a prayer book drew a revolver| and commanded her to prepare for | death, Terror stricken the wife pleaded ! with her husband te spare her life. Paying no heed Griffith solemnly asked | her if she had poisoned a friend of ms, if she had attempted to poison him an. if she ‘had been untrue. Upon herl fervently denying the implications he | shot her. Suffering intense pain and groping | blindly, the woman bgcked to an open | window and fell to theé roof of a house | next door. She crawled through the | window on the floor below before har husband could fire a second shot. its decision ‘the Supreme Court ex-~ pressed the opinion that the assault ! was ‘most brutal and unpardonable. = | —e Women Fight a Policeman. Mrs. Genia Passera and her mother, Mrs, Catherine: Lalezzi, who live at 516 Montgomery avenue, were arrest- ed yesterday -afternoon .by Policeman James O’Connor and booked at the City Prison on a charge of interfering with a peace officer. W. Passera, hus- band of Mrs. < Passera, obtained a search warrant yesterday from Police | Judge Fritz to recover possession of ; a suit of clothes, an overcoat and a gold watch which he alleged were in | the house at 516 Montgoniery avenue. He had made repeated demands :or‘ the articles. without success. - Police- | man O’Connor went to the house with | Passera and as soon as:they entered‘ and made their ‘demand, producing ! the search warrant, the two women grabbed hold of it and before the po-| liceman could prevent it they tore 1t in pieces. —————— ~ A Delightful Sea Voyage.
