Miss Schaefer is charged with having caused the search warrant to issue without probable cause, an offense under the statutes of misdemeanor grade.

Anderson, manager of the Apollineris Water Company in San Francisco, testified that things had gone all to smash with him since his merriage with Agnes V. Stirling. When she became his bride last April he represented to her that he had property in San Francisco and at | Fruitvale aggregating $10,000 in value. He owns The Volt, a race horse, and bad & salary of $250 a month. In November they separated and since then he testified his salary had been cut to less than: half, all .of his property had been deeded away, the race horse had gone lame and he said he is unable to contribute anything to the support of his wife in case she should get a divorce from him. He cried when his attorney asked him why he had been obliged to leave his home at Toronto and come to California, stating' that he had onsumption. That was in 1887, but since then he has been married and divorced three times and this is now his fourth ap- pearance as a defendant in a divorce action KATE WIGGIN DAY AT THE OAKLAND CLUB BY ZOE GREEN RADCLIFFE. OAKLAND, April 12.—The problem of just how much of a good thing is enough is an old one, and one that few women have soived. When club women learn to curtall their pro- | srammes to reasonable iengths, they will have made a notable stride in the march of pro- gress. Club entertainments, as a rule, are merely pleasant excuses to bring the members together and the most enjoyabie part of the meeting is really the few moments' visit over the teacups at the close of the afternoon. To-day—Kate Wiggin day—at the Oakland lub was of more than ordinary interest to the hundred or more women present, not only on account of the authoress’s popularity, but because her Jife and Interests have been so closely jdentified with California affairs. One might say she began the kindergarten work now so successfully conducted on this coast, for it was she who adapted the Froebel system to the needs of restless American children. A brief sketch of her work personality was given by Mre. Frames Gi who knew Mrs. Wiggin well, and then extracts were read by Mrs. Reamer from ‘‘Rebecca of Sunny- brook Farm.” Between the readings scenes | from the book were enacted by Miss Lillian Swale as Rebe Mrs. E. Mirands, Mrs. Martin Brigman ae Aunt Jane, Austin Osgood as Mr. Cobb and also as Mr. Ladd. This clever quartet showed in thelr work not only complete understanding of the Cols as Aunt | various characters, but considerable histrionie abllity. The club was quite prepared for ex- cellence from Miss Swales, having already had examples of her ability. but Mrs. Cole and Mre. Bridgman were surprisingly good. The old-fashjoned songs that interspersed the readings were very sweetly sung by Mrs. Luefen Langworthy 1 must not forget to mention the little kindergarten people from West Oakiand, who, under supervieion of Miss Winnle McParland, sang a number of playtime songs before the real programfne began. There were ten or twelve tots of every shade, from the little four-year old chap to a pale golden little girl in pink and white. Smalil white hands clasped black ones with no thought of caste, and who runs might read the glaring story of equality as taught In our public schools. Tbe little tykes were well drilied In their songs and evoiutions and were happily interested in everything. Mrs. Gray, the club's new president, was assisted in recelving to-day by Mre. George Marsily, Mrs. Charles Egbert, Mrs. J. H. Mathews, Mrs. E. M. Cole and Mrs. Merguire. ecture In Berkeley last night prevented the usual Jarge attendance at the Home Music Club concert, although many came after the lecture. The programme last evening closed the series of fllustrated musical talks that W. J. McCoy has been giving in Berkeley under the auspices of the Home Music Club.

CIRL’S SANITY IN QUESTION | | He Believes Miss Alice, Courtwright’s Mind Sound COURT, HEARING CASE Young Woman Says Fath- er and Her Brother-in- Law Drove Her From Them i OAKLAND, April 12—The attempt by her family to have Miss Alice B. Courtwright, daughter of an aged re- tired minister, sent to an Insane asy- | lum, promises to precipitate a big fam- ily yow and an ugly household skeleton may be dragged out into the light of day. Miss Courtwright has retained ; Attorney H. G. Walker and is pre- ' pared to fight the insanity proceedings. | She states that she has been forced ,to leave the home of her father, Rev. ( W. C.

He states that she is suffer- ing from nervous indigestion. Thomas Glenn testified that his sis- ter-in-law had behaved strangely while at his home and that his wife | had sworn to the complaint. Being a Idruggist he had prescribed the cold | | water cure for her and also given her a massage treatment. ‘With the hearing of these two wit- nesses, the case was continued until to-morrow morning, when Miss Court- wright will make a statement in her own behalf. CHINESE YOUTH A8 SUB-EDITOR BERKELEY, April 12—A novelty in the university’s annual Blue and Gold, to be prepared by the 1907 class, is an- nodnced by Editor in Chief Gabbert in the form of an Oriental department, with a Chinese student in full charge of that portion of the annual. S. Y. L. Jee, a sophomore, whose rec- ord for scholarship is said to be excel- lent, was chosen by Editor Gabbert, after a careful consideration of the score or more of men from the Orient who are now recelving instruction at the State University. Jee has perfect command of the English tongue, is a fluent speaker and writes with ease | and clearness. He is regarded as fully | qualified to give the Blue and Gold a creditable department dealing with Oriental affairs. Jee is expected to describe, in detail, for the Blue and Gold the various steps that have been taken by Oriental countries to send their young men to America for instruction, and how the influx has increased until the Orfental contingent now at the university is an appreciable part of the student body deserving of serious consideration in the representtaive publication of the | colleges. Jee belleves that he has a fund of picturesque material, including pic- fures and other features. with which to make his department in, the Biue and Gold as interesting as any between the covers of the big book, and already has begun to delve for rare photo- graphs and other Chinese, Japanese and Filipino ingigna that will later be i revroduced for the students’ publica- tion. He will seek the aid of Professor Fryer, head. of the department of Oriental languages, in preparing the material for his department in the Blue and Gold, the professor always having manifested a deep interest in the welfare of the Oriental contingent at the university, and being now en- gaged in founding a special prepara- tory school for them In the vicinity of the university. ————— Better Train Service.

T. Nance, military instructor at the State University, dropped a dynamite car- tridge in the ranks of the cadets who drill under him, when he issued, late this afternoon, an official bulletin an- nouncing the derating of the officers of Company E, First Regiment of th University cadets, and transferring various privates to other companies. Not in the history of the institution has a military instructor found it ne- cessary to thus punish refractory pu-| pils, and the disgrace attending the loss by company officers of their caps, gold braid and epaulets is keenly felt by the men marked for discipline. There is no redress for them, Captain Nance's bulletin makes it plain that he has acted with the approval of Presi- dent Wheeler. The order as posted in the military department to-day reads as follows: With the approval of the President, the fol. lowing officers and non-commissioned officers, Company E, First Regiment, are reduced to the grade of private, viz: . N. Baker, second lleutenant; C. L. Smith apd G. A. Witte, sergeants; M. E. Leach, E. T. Rosenlund, ¥. O. Stevers, R. H. Van Sant, and T. W. Winsor, corporals. With the approval of the President, the fol- luwing named privates, Company E, First Regiment, are transferred to other companies, First Regiment, as_indicated opposite thelr names: J. H. W. Barnes, A. T. Howe and H. W. Losse, to Company B; C. H. McCharles, C. R. McKliiliean, H. R. Mead, G. D. Hock, €. O’Connor and L. R. Reed. to Company C; E. A. Richards, to Company A; R. J. Wulzen, te Compuny D. No announcement has been made by Captain Nance regarding the names of the officers who will be appointed to take the places of the derated men. Captain Nance alsb refuses to discuss the bulletin he has given out. The derating of the officers, how- ever, {8 known to be a sequel to the riot in Company E during drill hours two weeks ago, and is deemed to be significant of the policy that is to pme- vail during Captain Nance's tenure of office as military instructor, a policy that includes the preservation of dis- cipline and the placing of his depart- ment on a sound militagy footing. Captain Nance was horrified a fort- night ago when he unexpectedly ap- peared on the scene during an exhibi- tion of cat-calling and rioting by the men of Company E, and at once called upon the officers of the company for the names of all the defenders. The officers hesitated, declaring finally that they could not provide Captain Nance with the names of the guilty cagets. That was a.canfession of their ina- bility to preserve discipline, according to Captaift Nance/ and he proceeded to' probe the matter to the bottom. He confined the offending company i the armory at the next drill hour, told them how their conduct failed to re- semble that of soldiers or officers and again called for the names of offend- ers during the minfature riot of a few days before. Again he failed to get the information. There the matter was allowed to rvest, supposedly, and the officers and privates who had been on the inquisitorial rack breathed easier. To-day the surprise for them came in the form of Captain Nance's announce- ment of the loss of -their pesitions, with the honors and merits accompanying the places, and the shift of various pri- vates, supposed to have been among the riotérs, to other companies under officers that are expected to keep the refractory cadets in Ilrf. —_ & IRDER BLACKS 10 LEAYE TOW COFFEYVILLE, Kans., April 12—A race war has narrowly been averted here as the result of the assault by a uegro upon Mrs. John Griftith, white, the wife of a machinist. and serious trouble is stilil likely. Negroes of the worst class have been ordered to leave town before night. ’ In anticipation of a clash between the two races the Mayor to-day issued a 'proclamation ordering that all cit- izens disarm, and at the same time many special officers were sworn in. Since the negro’s attack um Mrs. Griffith fellow negroes have n arm- ing to prevent the lynching of any in- nocent negro, us seemed likely, and early to-day an attempt to disarm a number of blacks resulted in a" dozen revolvers being leveled at Chief of Po- lice Smith's head. Other negroes rushed to the scenc, but a body of whites stop- ped them with leveled rifies. The leader among the negroes was choked into in- sex:zlbmty and the others were sub- ued. The negro who assaulted Mrs. Grif- fith is still at large. g —_—— AUSTRALIA MAY ENTERTAIN SEORETARY TAFT AND PARTY Understood That Commonweaith Will | Colorado Rallrond Man Invite Him During His Trip to Philippines. : MANILA, April 13.—Governor Gen- eral Northcote of the commonwealt of Australia will, it is understood, in. vite Secretary of War Taft and his to visit Australia . during the | B Yo - visit tdmzh_e Phil- |'triend The commonwealth of Aus-| . party’s forthcoming es. it is sai %1 s e e o Srartiig o merce anfla_is pre; en- ertain Secref Taft and party on an od er'nlnlié c-cnle au ”i‘uuv-u,y in anila. : tralia wdm defray the entire expense, BOMB EXPLODED U2 s | shipped o him, but he fafled to pro- | |ALAMEDA COUNTY NES ROW ‘ABOEU.E A BARROW{PLAN BIG CELEBRATION |OXFORD ST SCHOLARSHIP Greek Department at, Stan- ford University, Suecessful EXAMINATIONS Cdse May Kefl‘,uken Into the|Federal Judge W.

ASIATIC LABOR FOR THE CANAL WASHINGTON, April 12.—Chairman Shonts, Governor Magoon and Chief En- gineer Wallace of the Canal Commis- sion met in Secretary Taft's office to- day. It was the first meeting of the executive committee of the Isthmian Canal Commission and the details of the organization were considered. On the whole the commission had a long -and satisfactory discussion with Secretary Taft and reached some con- clusions as to the organization of the Panama Rallroad directorate at the meeting which is to take place next Monday in New York. Chairman Shonts of the Canal Commission will be the next president of the Panama Rail- road Company and every member of the commission will be made a director of the road. That will leave four mem- bers of the directorate to be named and they will be civiliahs. The labor problem was discussed at length and it was resolved that com- tracts should be made for the employ- ment of 2000 Japanese and 2000 Chinese coolies in the capal construction. This is merely a preliminary and experimen- tal move, but if it succeeds the engi- neers will have an almost unlimited force of labor to draw on. An interesting feature of the discus- sion to-day was a statement by Engi- | $1350. neer Wallace to the effect that it is en- tirely feasible to construct either a tide-level or lock canal across the isth- mus, though he himself strongly favors the tide-level project. —_—— NO ILONGER APOSTOLIC DELEGATE TO CUBA Archbishop Chapelle to Be Succeed- ed in Antilles by a Prelate of the Curia.

The Vatican, how- ever, to put an end to the troubles arising from the accusations of a per- sonal character against the Arch- :’hhop. has now confirmed its deci- on. 5 So Monsignor Chapelle will not re- turn to Cuba, and, according to what has been learned here from Rome, it appears that he will be succeeded by a prelate of the Curia, that is, one now employed at the Vatican. —————— SWINDLER FLATTERS WOMEN AND THEN GETS THEIR COIN Makos Them Believe They Are Prom- inent in Society and Bunkoes CHICAGO, April 12.—George Le- vine, who by flattering his victims with the belief that they were social le:’der- has robbed many women in Chicago recently, pleaded i i Judge Tuthill's court to the S:‘lrt:c (:‘ operating a confidence sent to i improvement clubs to at-| lmmwt. has been offictally daclared the holder of- the Rhodes scholarship from California for this year by Ben- jamin Ide Wheeler, chairman of the committee which has eharge of the Ox- ford examinations.
