P | D. COUGHLIN, NEWLY AP- POINTED DEPUTY _SUPERIN IE;'%ENT OF STREETS OF OAK- K2 MISS WALSH IS CHARMING DEBUTANTE BY ZOE GREEN RADCLIFFE. 3 OAKLAND, Nov. 8.—Few debutante af- fairs, in Oakland's history of delightful func- tions, have excited the real heart interest of the social set as did the “coming out” last night of Miss Marian Walsh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. Walsh. Charming in manner, clever and cultured, the winsome young debutante counts her sincere admirers by the hundred, so, despite the magnitude and lavishness that signalized last night's event, & cordiality prevalled that dispelled formality and’ made it one of the most delightful as weil as brilllant receptions of the year. Gorgeous with the rich scarlet and yellow bloesoms of the season, the beautiful residence on Monte Vista preserted an entrancing ple- ture to the fashionable throng that passed through its hospitable doors. Behind a screen of ferns in an upper corridor a stringed or- chestra played during the evening. Downs stairs in the baliroom, where the American Beauty rose appropriately reigned supreme, the Hawallan quintet lured young feet to the dance, and there is nothing like the impetuous swing of Hawailan music to coax one's feet to motion. In every room a different scheme of decora- tion was followed. In the billlard-room were shaggy whits - chrysanthemums, the dining- reom was beautiful with grapevines and scariet berries and dozens of crimson carnations. In the reception-room, forming an effective set— ting for the dainty ‘‘bud” in her exquisite white lace frock, great yellow chrysathemums and oak leaves were charmingly combined. Supper was served in a large marquee erect- ed on the lawn and inclosing a natural rook- ery and waterfall. Scarlet streamers of tulle, from corner to corner, held up great globes of vivid blossoms and dozen of electric lights in red bulbs added to the fairy-like appearance of this unique supper-room. Hundreds of small incandescent lights twinkled amid the shiub- bery of the grounds and illumined dim veranda corners. Mrs. Walsh, herself one of the most gracious of hostesses at all times, wore an elegant white lace gown and there were numberless other ““dreams” in the ralnbow-tinted mass of costly fabrics that dotted the hundreds of fair women among the guests. Among those who assisted Mr. ‘Walsh last evening were: Mrs. Edson Adams, Mrs, Wallace Alexander, Mrs. C. R. Brown, Mrs. J. R. Burnham, Mrs. W. H. M Mrs. . Garlick, Mrs. P. G. Gar- Mrs. E. A.

A large audience greeted Mrs. Florence Del- anoy Eichwaldt at the Oakland Club to-day, when she addressed the members, her subject belng “Russia, the Land -of Violent Con- trasts.” Mrs. Eichwaldt wore the costume of the Russian peasant, and her talk was illus— trated with stereopticon views. What proved irresistible to the Jadles, however, was the display of hand-made laces and many a dainty bit of drawn work was carried home for a ri- diculously low price. For instance, a center- plece of linen that had taken eight months to make was sold for $4 50! No wonder the Rus- slan laborer is erylng for “rights.” ~ ° Next Wednesday the clib breakfast will take place and promises to equal ing events of the kind that have been soclal suc— ceases. e Much_interest is being manifested in the tarr King reception Friday evening to Dr. d Mrs. J.

GRAHAM SEVERELY DEALS WITH KROUSE Holds That He Acted in Col- lusion With George D. Collins. Exposed in his dishonbrable attempt to defeat the effort of Mrs. Charlotta E. Collins to compel her bigamous husband, George D. Collins, to contribute to her support, Attorney H. A. Krouse was se- verely dealt with by Superior Judge Gra- ham yesterday. Krouse appeared in court prepared to proceed on the motion directing Collins to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt for failing to supply Mrs. Collins with funds for her maintenance, which motion was devised by Krouse to betray Mrs. Collins into the hands of her accused husband, enabling him to carry the case to the Supreme Court. Judge Graham, how- ever, refused to hear him further, and to his astonishment turned upon him and said: I simply say, Mr. Krouse, that after a care- ful consideration of all the evidence adduced at the former hearing of this matter, I find that the proceeding instituted by you was you in collusion with George Dh. it while you ‘“MWNW' e that wi Mrs. Collina’ X' think, &% & Matter of Tact: you were acting fn conjunction with the de- fendant Collins, and with this situation con- fronting me, I am of the opinion that the dignity of this court, as well as the interest of justice demand that this proceeding should be ‘dismissed and the order to show cause is discharxed. Krouse, unabashed, then sought to place on the record copies of affidavits that were mysteriously lost after the last hearing of the case, but as the dis- missal of the order to show cause oper- ated to end all proceedings they were not accepted. Krouse took an exception to the ruling of the court and stalked from the room. It is now probable that At- torney Hiram Johnson will again take up the case against the indicted attorney in an effort to compel him to aid ‘the un- fortunate woman and the children he so heartlessly abandoned.

In a suit filed yesterday in the Su- perior Court Frederick F. Lyden, who recently sued the Spohn-Patrick Com- pany for an accounting, asserts that the company has fraudulently trans- ferred its assets to a company called the John H. Spohn Company for the purpose of defeating any judgment he might obtain In the original suit. He asks that the transfer of the assets be set aside, as operating in fraud of his rights. In his complaint Lyden asserts that after the Sherift had levied an attach- ment on the assets of the Spohn-Pat- rick Company in his suit for an ac- counting the company transferred the assets to the John H. Spohn Company and the Sheriff was then notified that the assets were the property of the last named company and were valued at $75,000. The Sheriff then requested Lyden to furnish a bond of $100,000, stating that if such were not forthcoming he would release the attachment. Lyden was un- able to obtain the bond, whereupon the attachment was released. Lyden now asserts that the transfer of the assets was a trick and device on the part of the defendant company to defraud him of the benefit of his attachment and he asks’ that it be set aside and that in the meantime both of the defendant companies be restrained from disposing of any of the assets under their control. s Sy e BIEN CLAIMS PROPERTY IN THOMPSON’S CAFE Trustee Values Furnishings st $150,000 and Opposes Claims of Coal and Fish Dealers.
