Two San -Franciscans Are Naried as the Witnesses, the Late Charles T. Yerkes. ———— Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Jan. 81.—The American says: The extraordinary announcement was made last night that Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes, only ohie month a widow and the recipient of $7,500,000 under the will |of her late husband, had become th | bride of Wilson Mizner of San Fran- cisco. This announcement was in the presence of Mizner, who to upon only two witness: The ceremony i8 M’ to have taken place In the gallery of the Yerkes mian: sion, 864 Fifth avenue, s o'cleck last night, and in addition t two witnesses named, a Mrs. algo js sald to have been present as attendant upon the bride. Mizner is the son of a former United States Minister to Mexico and Guatemala. ;Ha is well known in social circles of |Ban Francisco and has for years been a member of the Bohemian Club of that city, famous the world over for its novel entertainments and one of the most unique | organizations of its kind in the country. Mizner s 20 years old and is living at the Hotel Astor. Mrs. Yerkes 1s 50 years of age. That Mrs. Yerkes entertained more than an ordinary regard for Mizner 1s sald to have become apparent to their 8 0 the 1 THE BRIDE - Story Denied by Attorney for | — I SRR R e AT SAYS HE CAN | friends many months ago, but it is un- derstood that it was not untll late last evening that the match was made. Incidentally it became known in this manner: One of the prospective wit- nesses hurried into the Seymour apart- ment-house early in the evening and said to another: “‘Hurry and get your evening clothes on. Mrs. Yerkes and Mizner are to be mar- ried at Mrs. Yerkes’ home to-night and we are to be the witnesses. I have a cab waliting at the door. Don’t lose any time for they will be waiting for us.” It was then about 6:30 o’clock. At T | o’'clock Eastland and Brugulere rushed through the front doors of the Seymour |and bounded into a cab, giving the | driver instructions to go at top speed | to Mrs. Yerkes’ home. At the entrance they were met by Mrs. Yerkes. Mizner was already inside, The affair had been so hastily ar- | ranged that the couple had not had time | to engage the services of a clergyman. Efforts were made to engage one by | phone. It Is possible this may have caused a delay in the ceremony. At any rate Mizner and the two witnesses came down the front steps of the Yerkes man- sion at 9:15 o'clock. When one of the witnesses was asked if the marriage had been performed he said; “No, it's all off for the present. I can’'t tell you why. The wedding has been postponed. That's all I can say.” . ‘When pressed further for the reason why the affair had come to sueh an un- usyal end the witness sald: “1 am sorry, but I cannot discuss this matter here.” ¥ CHICAGO, Jan. 31.—Clarence Knight, attorney for the late Charles T. Yerkes, when seen at 2 o'clock this morning, emphatlcally denied the New York story to the effect that Mrs. Yerkes had mar- rled Wilson Mizner of San Francisce. Knight ‘sald the story was a fake. —_———— BELIEVES SCIENCE WILL CREATE LIFE ‘Wilhelm Ostwald’s ViewsAre in Line With Those of Jacques Loeb. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—That science may create a living organism through ar- tifictal means was stated to-day by Pro- fessor Wilhelm Ostwald of the Univer- | sity of Leipsic, in a lecture in Columbia University. Professor Ostwald is one of Europe’s famous scientlsts, “Sclence s young,” he said. ‘“‘Some of the greatest of chemistry’s branches are not more than 20 years old. Wg cannot yet fully explain the fact of life, but I | should not be surprised if some kind of life is but a matter s i _Professor Ostwald’s views are in line | with the experiments made by Professor ses Loeb of the University of Cali- mn creating a living organism re N {.command to return.” BY HYPADTISH NERT DEATH Dr. Quackenbos Tells of Successful Ex- periments, Speclal Diepatch to The Cail. NEW YORK, Jan. 80.—In the Waldorf- Astoria to-night the Entertalnment Club, of which Mrs. Roswell D. Hitchoock is president, held what wes called a meta- physical evening. The leading speaker was Dr. John D. Quackenbos, who in an ‘essay announced to a large audience his Jatest discovery In hypnotic sclence, that suggestions given as death actually im- pends have power absolutely unparalleled in any other mental state, “In June last,”. he sald, “I was called to the bedside of a young woman who had passed through a series of inflictions culminating in pneumonia. Her condition ‘was equivalent to a death sentence—tem- perature 107%, pulse 160, respiration 60— and the attending physicians hag with- drawn from the case as beyond pale of hope. “As I looked at the girl an inspiration came to me. I took her by the hand, learned her first name from the nurse and said . with great Incisiveness: ‘Adele, where are you going? You cannot dle; come back, you have work to do on earth. Come back at once.” In answer to the summons the upturned eyes resumed their natural angle and became riveted on mine. The voice that had for days uttered only the ravings of delirilum now spoke coherently. ‘It is too late,’ it murmured. “* ‘It is not too late,” I rejoined. ‘Do not dare to say it is too late. Stay whera you are. assume immediate control ot our ‘physical functions and get well. You are going to recover'—all this in an im- tive, forceful tome. The directions | were implicitly followed. A change for the better supervened. Gradually the mental mist clcared away, the physical strength returned, and to-day the young woman is perfectly well, filling an im- portant position in the choir of an wp- to#kn church. £y is not a solitary instance,” he other ‘added. “In two cases moribund patients—one a judge of prominence— wero recalled from death by shouting in the ear at the moment of dissolution a | ———— e m Proves l.‘ 'TONOPAH, Jan. %.—Frank Ganahl, who was shot at Clifford Saturday dur- ing a dispute over wages by J.

Jan. 3).—Sheri® Romero has returned from Tremen- tina in possession of facts that make it appear certalp that the burning of the home of Benito Sanchez in that vil- lage and two women and two children was really an attempt to conceal an outrageous crime. There is the strongest evidence that the two women, Mrs. Sanchez and =& young school teacher, were murdered and the house burned to conceal the crimes. Two men who were at the house were drunk during the afterncon. The big adobe house was on' fire for more than an hour before the floor of the second story, where the women and children slept, fell. The charred remains of the women were found in the ruins, still lying on the bed, and strong evidences of the crime were apparent. The two intoxicated men were found some 'distance from the house. NEW YORK, Jan.

The debate throughout was listened to at very attentively, and many questions wers asked of the speakers to bring out either obscure points in the measure or evils complained of which no attempt had been made to include In the bill The debate was opened by Townsend of Michigan in an exhaustive argument on the general subject and sharp criti- cism directed at those who had opposed rallroad rate legislation.
