LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16.—A large and cultured audience of musicians and lov | ers of good music, many of them from neighboring cities, paid fancy prices for | admission to Simpson Auditorium last night to hear Alfred Reisenauer, the pi- anist. The recital was to have begun at :15 o'clock, but when that hour arrived | nothing had been heard from Reisen- | auer by the managers of the affair. For | a time the audience was patient, but asi | the minutes passed and the artist did not appear the people became restless. One of the managers finally explained that there had been an unavoldable delay, but | he did not say what had caused it. A} | little later the audience was dismissed with the statement that the money would be refunded. Most of the audience had left the place, but there were nearly 300 Isfi when Rels- enguer rushed into the"building and wigh uncertain steps made his way to the platform. Without introduction he took his place at the piano and began playing. He had only played a fews bars of child- #5h melodic drivel when two attendants appeared 2nd led him from the stage. * During the hour that the audience had waited, messengers were sent everywhere | that it was thought possible for the pi- anist to be, but jt was not until a few minutes before 4 o'clock that he was found with a party of friends just finish- ing a wine dinner. He had forgotten all about the performance. To-day those who had purchased tickets got their money back. —_————————— SALE OF A MINING CLAIM LEADS TO CHARGE OF FRAUD | { | United States Marshai at Nogales is | Arrested for an Alleged Swindle. TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 16.—A special to the Citizen from Nogales states that United States Marshal Benjamin Dan- iels was arrested to-day there by Sheriff Fowler of Santa Cruz County on the charge of fraud. Hans Larson, the complainant, states that Daniels sold him a mine in the Harshaw district a year ago for $800 and that when he went to do the assess- ment work James Harrison, Supervisor of Santa Cruz County, claimed the prop- erty as his. Larson demanded the re- turn of the money, which Danlels re- fused and arrest on the fraud charge followed. Danfels was a Rough Rider and friend of President Roosevelt. He wasappointed Marshal last fall, but has not yet been confirmed by the Senate. Daniels-says the case looks to him much like black- mail. Because his confirmation as Marshal is still pending in the Senate, | | | is arrest supposed he could not afford the $800 demanded. —————————— Roarding-Houses and Hotels Can be furnished with good pictures for a song during the odd lot picture sale at job lot prices.

McRae was arrested, and when he was searched before being put into a cell, Mrs. Schiller's pursé was found upon him. It contalned her wedding ring, a picture of herself, her watch, $16 in gold, | and several gold nuggets. ATTORNEY IS ANNOYED. When Mrs. Schiller was asked by her husband’s attorney, what McRae was doing with her pur: and how he happened to have her pic- ture, she responded tartly: “You also have a picture of me, Mr. Graves."” The attorney ignored the implication conveyed both by the witness’ manner and her good.looks, and continued 10 ask if she had not often gone to the Chutes with McRae. This question she answered much in the same style by saying: “I have been to the Chutes with you, | too, Mr. Graves.” This last straw toppled over the load and Graves explained heatedly to the court that Mrs. Schiller had threatened to drive him out of the case, but that he did not intend to submit to any such in- timidation. He confessed that he had Mrs. Schiller’'s picture, as well as one of her husband, accumulated together with other evidence in the case, and he admitted that he had been to the Chutes with Mrs, Schiller, though he was chaper- oned by Schiller himself. The Schillers were married in August, 1902, and their divorce action is based on charges of cruelty brought by the wife, who Is a prominent member of the Cali- fornia Club, and whose interest in which | club, Schiller alleged, caused his wife to | neglect her home- and offered her an ex- to meet | otker men after she had told him that | cuse to get out of the house some vital issue affecting the mothers of the city was billed for discussion by the | important organization of which she was a member. Mrs. Schiller charged that her husband mistreated their little cne, now long dead, anad often said that he “‘could not be kept up all night by the crying of that young- ster.” She also explained that his ob- jections to the club of which she is a memler were unreasonable, and his abuse of her on that account was ex- treme. Schiller responded with the charge that the club was the least part of his troubles and asserted that all of his woes were due to his wife's persist- ent associations with other men. When the petition for alimony was called yesterday Judge Graham addressed Schilier, who was on the stand, saying: “Mr. Schiller, do you not think it possi- ble for you and your wife to compromise your differences and forget the past?”’ “Not so long as_she persists in going with that man McRae,” responded Schil- ler. “Why only this morning he tried to divorce us with a bullet.” Then Schiller told of how he and two friends surprised McRae near the Schiller home, and re- cited the thrilling story of the rapidity with which McRae drew his revolver, fired a shot and went to jall, MAKES SMALL SALARY. ! Subsequently Schiller testified that he is now making only $% a month and has drawn his salary three months in ad- vance to secure funds with which to fight the divorce suit. Then Judge Graham took thc case under advisement, being | uncertain as to whether or not a woman | that will permit a man other than her | husband to carry her purse, and land in jail with it still in his possession, is en- titled to more of her husband’s money to fill sume other purse she may still pos- sess and which may be entered on the police records as evidence against a man that sought her husband's life. McRae was arraigned before Judge gan on charges of assauit with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed weapon. The hearing was continued and the de- fendant’s bail fixed at $2000. Schiller testifled that McRae, who is a Deputy Marshal at Goldfield, Nevada, had broken up his home, and that divorce is now pending. Mrs. Schiller dwells with her mother on Shotwell .street, near Twenty-first, end night before last the husband and friend followed her and McRae to the Chptes and kept them un- der espionage until early morning, when they returned to the house. Then Schil- ler accosted them with a demand of McRae for explanation of his conduect. McRae fmmediately drew a revolver from his pocket and fired a ‘shot. Schiller no- tified Patrolman Fogarty of what had happened and McRae was arrested and booked. He is in jail. Schiller told Judge Mogan that McRae carries a latchkey to Mrs. ‘Schiller's home | there. quested by Mrs. Schiller's mother to pro- tect the young woman from Schiller, whom she feared. - Atturney Green, who is ‘)ln.

American Wife of the Prof- | ligate French Nobleman e Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Feb. 16.—An “‘urgent” writ was to-day served on Count Boni de Castel- lane, making him defendant in the sepa- ration proceedings of his wife, formerly Anna Gould. This decisive step was taken after renewed efforts to effect a reconcil- jation had proved fruitless. The Count | accepted the service of the writ, -ven | calling upon the Countess’ llwc" to facilitate fixing upon a place where the writ could be delivered. The bill of complaint was filed at the same time. It follows very closely the Countess' prima facie showing, made when she first asked for the court’s per- mission to take action against her hus- band. It mentions no names, but par- ticularizes certain incidents in which the Count is alleged to h;v! participated, and 1t asks for a decree for what the French | law terms ‘“separation of body and prop- erty,” meaning complete material sepa- ration, without a dissolution of the bonds | of matrimony. The court holds the hlll; of complaint in the strictest secrecy, but the foregoing are the essential features of its contents. It can be said with absolute positive- ness, now that the Countess has formally | instituted her action, that it is her in- tention to obtain a decree at the earliest date possible. The Count will make no contest. The Countess will retain her title| under the form of procedure finally adopted, but if the decree is extended after.three years to a divorce it will: have the effect of terminating her right | to use the title of Countess. The eldest of her three sons, Boniface, inherits the title of Count without reference to thel results of the case. —_———————— Mikado’s Warriors Still Celebrating.
