Edgar to withdraw the suit. She has her hus- band and is satisfied. Harry Frostholm 1{s the bridegroom whose pursuit has engaged his wife's at- tention for a month. They were married at Ban Rafael on January 14, keeping their marriage & secret for several weeks, They resided at apartments in Oakland. When Frostholm broke the news of his! secret marriage to the old folks, Mr. and Mrs. Ringel of Berkeley, they were indig- nant. The bride found that she was deserted to all apparances following the announce- ! ment to the Ringels of the secret wed- | of money.,” ding, and promptly decided that parental influence had weaned the young husband from her side. She learned, as she al- leged, that Frostholm's mother had threatened to disinherit him if he did not at once give up his bride. The mother is wealthy. The girl had two children by a former husband, and it was said that Mrs. Ringel objected to the alllance be- cause of these children. . Frostholm disappeared and the Ringels were preparing to go to Europe, as the bride suspected, when she checkmated them by filing her suit. That was three weeks ago. Today the bride and groom appeared be- fore Judge Edgar, stated that they are perfectly happy, wished the damage suit dismissed and expected to begin keeping house at once. “I prefer my husband to any amount sald Mrs. Froktholm, “and we both want the damage suit dismissed. Mr. Frostholm’s parents will not object to the marriage.” The suit accordingly will be dismissed. —_———— ZIONISTS ON BOTH SIDES OF BAY TO HOLD MEETINGS OAKLAND, March 3.—A meeting of Zionists will be held tomorrow night in the Maccabee Temple of this city, Elev- enth and Clay streets.

BERKELEY, March 3.—The figures relating to the second symphony con- cert in the Greek Theater last Thurs- day were given out today by the uni- versity authorities. From them it ap- pears that the attendance was 4597. Secretary Victor Henderson, after the concert, estimated that the attendance was not less than 6000. .The great theater was filled almost to overflow- ing, and hundreds of seats were occu- pied below the tiers of concrete. Ap- parently the capacity of the theater has been overestimated. The officlal an- nouncement regarding the attendance, issued today from President Wheeler's office, is as follows: “The audience at the second sym- phony concert of the Unlversity of California in the Greek Theater at 3:30 o'clock on- Thursday, March 1, was 4597. A quarter of those present had been admitted by student season tick- ets costing $1.50 for the six concerts. Another fougth part of the audience was admitted on single admission tick- ets for the unreserved section. This audience was about three times as large as ever before heard a symphony concert in California, with possibly one exception, and double the slze of the audience assembled at that particular concert. “The third of the six symphony con- certs at the university will be given on the afternoon of Thursday, March 15, in the Greek Theater. The orchestra, which was enlarged to sixty-seven at last Thursday's concert, will be in- creased by several musicifns for the next concert. The Schubert Symphony in C will be a particular feature of the day’s programme. —_—— BAND AT GREEK THEATER.

OAKLAND, March 8.—The Southern Pacific Company this morning put. a large force of men at work between Fruitvale and Alameda, bullding a road- bed parallel to the present single track between the two communities. It is the intention of the company to put into operation a double-track system be- tween the broad and narrow - gauge mo and run tralns both ways be- tween the two terminals, —— HEAVY RAIN SPOILS SHOW, LIVERMORE, March 3.—Owing to the heavy rain many owners of horses and stallions entered in the annual horse show held here today did not appear and as a result only fifty animals were in line. On account of the small num. ber of horses the prizes were not awarded. Had it not been for the storm nearly 200 animals would have appeared in the parade. A monious as to Granting Applications for Railways DISCUSS THE SCHEMES Decision as to the Morgan and the Greenwood Pro- jects Is Not Reached L Sl ALAMEDA, -March 3—Although the City Trustees have placed themselves on record as favoring another ratlccad end ferry system for Alameda by the passage of a resolution to that effect, no three-of the flve members of the muni:lpal toard are agreed that the plans embodled in the franchises sought by W. J. Morgan and F. M. Greenwood will meet théwants of the general public, and as “our out of the five votes in the city’s govera g body are necessary to grant a franchise, there is still a question as to whether either of the applicants will be given the privileges he seeks. The present attitude of the City Trus- tees railroad matters is outlined in the following: *‘Resolved, That it is the sense of this board that we are willing to grant a franchise for a railroad to such perauns as shall in good faith enter into a suit- able contract therefor and give the proper security for the performance of such work.” 8ince Morgan and Greenwood filed applications for local railroad fran- chises the municipal legislators nave en- tertained doubts as to the financial ability of either of the applicants to put through thelr extensive projects, and were inclined to look upon the plans of the promoters as speculative. These doubts have been removed to some extent by the invastiga- tions made by President W. J. Gorham of the City Trustees and Trustee J. F. Forderer of the financial rating of the Mrs. A. Moore Loses Control |Gaelic Scholar of Machine While Driving Down East Oakland Grade HAS A NARROW ESCAPE Turns Into Sidewalk in Her Effort to Check Speed of Vehicle in Its Descent _— OAKLAND, March 3.—Mrs. A. A. Moore, wife of Attorney A. A. Moore, was thrown from an automobile while recelving instructions from a profes- sional chauffeur and narrowly escaped serious injury on the steep grade of East Twentieth street near her home in East Oakland. As it was both she an her instructor were thrown from the machine, but both escaped with a se- vere shaking up. The machine was being driven by Mrs. Moore, and as she descended the steep hill it gained such momentum that she feared it would become un- manageable. To check the speed Mrs. Moore, acting under the chauffeur’s ad- vice, turned the machine into the side- walk. - It struck.a tree and tilted at such an dngle that both occupants were thrown to the ground. It righted itselr immediately, however, and the chauf- feur scrambled aboard and brought the machine to a standstill. Mrs. Moore went to her home, half a block away, but she was not injured, and it was deemed unnnecessary to call a physiclan. An examination of the automobils showed that it had been damaged slightly. THOUSANDS OF GEMS / IN SINGLE PLASTRON ' men PFhind the applicants. The result of Gorham'’s investigation of the Morgan project, as told by him, follows: FINDS HERMANN IS ALL RIGHT. “From the time the appMHcations for franchises were flled I was of the opinion that the Morgan project was purely spec- ulative, and that the Greenwood proposi- tion was a side issue of the Southern Pa- cific Company. I am now of a different belief. I was given the name of a San Francisco man, Alexander Hermann, as the person who was ready and able to secure $6,000,000 to put into the Morgan project In Alameda. I went to the London, Paris and American Bank, Levl Strauss & Co., J. Barth & Co. and Daniel Meyer & Co., and at all of these places was told that Hermann was a man of means and one who was in close touch with large Wall street money firms in New York that are prepared to furnish capital. I also saw the plans of Morgan, and they inciude a large ferry mole off West Ala- meda and a freight mole projecting from the western end of Bay Farm Island. 1 ‘was given to understand that if Morgan is granted the franchise he has asked for Alameda will be made the terminal of & transcontinental road that now en- ters Denver. This road is probably the. Denver Short Line. Personally I am well impressed with what I have ascertained regarding the Morgan project, and am in favor of granting him a franchise. I am likewise satisfled that the Greenwood peo- ple, whose system as planned is a local Bpeclal Cablegram to The Call and the New York Herald.

A Turkish potentate commis- sioned the Messrs. Dobson, jewelers of Piccadilly, to produce a plastron of sur- passing beauty, rivaling the jewels of the “Arabian Nights” in splendor. From his own treasures he supplied a number of beautiful pearls the size of small nuts and a single diamond of wonderful bril- llancy, leaving the Dobsons to furnish the rest of the jewels. There are no fewer than 800 brilllants, besides emeralds and rubles. Arthur Dobson, drawing asids a silk curtain, revealed lying on a velvet back- ground a jewel of indescribable beauty. It measures two feet four inghes in length and is made to button around the neck by a wonderful circle of diamonds, spreading out on the breast and showing butterflies of jewels daintily poised on glittering flowers. These surround a center-piece of the Turkish crescent in pearls, in three rows, each” as large as a barcelona nut. The crescent itself 1s the size of a tea plate and at the top is the sign manual of the Sultan of Turkey in emeralds, while a verse of the Koran in rubles fills the cen- ter. From the crescent, on ropes of glitter- ing gems, hangs a square medallion the one, are financially able to carry out their project.” GREENWOOD PROPOSITION. Concerning his Investigation of the Greenwood proposition City Trustee For- derer sald: “I am satisfled that Greenwood has cap- italists behind him who are easily able to supply the $3,000,000 that he intends to put into the construction of a ferry line and local electric system. I have not the faith in the Hart project that I have in the Greenwood plan wecause of the many shifts and changes of position that Mor- gan's representatives have made while conferring with the City Trustees. They are ready to take any franchise we may give them, and are unwilling to put up a cash guarantee that they will carry out the provisions of their contract. Hermann, who is said to be the moneyeéd man be- hind Morgan, is only one man; while there are many men interested with Greenwood and all are men of coin. ¢ am in favor ot the Grecnwood project, and will oppose the granting of any franchise for a term of more than twenty-five years.” City Trustee W. M. Bowers says that he will not favor a steam road franchise such as Morgan seeks, and that he will not vote for the granting of any franchise that will not guarantee a twenty-minute ferry service from Alameda to San Fran- cisco. He asserts that Alameda is well supplied with raflroads at present, and does not belleve in making the city look size of an ordinary cigarette case, on which. standing on an emerald mount, is the Turkish flag in rubles, the whole backed by diamonds. Below is suspended, in a diamond frame, a minjature portrait of the pur- chaser and completing the whole scheme, at the extreme bottom, is a pearl as large as an)acorn. Every plece can be de- tached’ from the others and worn sepa- rately, or, with truly Oriental magnifi- cence, the whole can be suspended from the neck, like a trembling, quivering blaze of fire. The value of the treasure is estimated at $150,000. —r————— ‘WAR OF COPPER COMPANIES RAPIDLY DEAWS TO A CLOSE BUTTE, Mont., March 3.—On motion of counsel representing the Amalgamated Copper Company and the Heinze in- terests, eighty actions at law were dis- missed by the District Court of Silver Bow County this afternoon. This wiped out all pending litigation in the State courts involving the former opposing in- terests, with the exception of a few cases in which counsel were not authorized to appear. These will be dismissed later, as will be twenty-three actions now pend- ing in the United States courts. The dismissal of these suits forms one of the concluding incidents of the copper war terminated by the sale of the Heinze interests to a company represented by like a rallroad yard by the installation of more tracks. City Trustee Fritz Boehmer wants the persons or corporation secur- ing the franchise to pay well for it. He has also expressed himself as favoring a union railroad and depot that would be controlled by the city. Trustee E. J. Probst has not expressed preference as between the Morgan and Greenwood pro- jects. % —_————— WILL DEDICATE CHURCH.

Foster, their attorney, shows that the clew secured by the local po- lice regarding a $100,000 draft on the Bank of England hdas no value what- ever. Foster gave out a statement in the Bast yesterday that none of his relatives has seen the draft since 1880, when Stinson showed it to his sister, Mrs. Sarah Connor, of this city. He told Addresses Audience at Utliversity on Entertaining Subject HISTORY OF FOLK TALES Origin of Myths Traced and Lessons Drawn From the Devetopment of Legends BERKELEY, March 3.—Dr. Douglas Hyde delivered a lecture on “The kolk ‘fales ot lIrelana” at Harmon Gymna- sium on the campus this arternocon, tne aadress being tue last of a series of four on Gaelic literature which the dis- tinguished Irish scholar has made at the university. Reyv. Peter C. Yorke spoke briefly be- fore Dr. Hyde, suggesting that a chair of Celtic literature in the University of California would be an appropriate monument to the Irish race, and espe- cially so when it is recalled that Berke- iey is named after an lirisn Bishop. Dr. Hyde analyzed the folk lore of Ireland in his address, discussing its| effect upon the folk lore of other na- tions. 1n part he sald: “The Irish race is of Aryan stock, coming to Ireland about 1000 B. C. The language was pure Aryan, as pure as that of Greece. In it there is provided a perfect picture of the old civilization of the race. Our folk tales and manu- 'scripts go back farther than those of any other nation, except the Greeks, who go back to the dawn of history. The Irish peasant folk tales are more archaic than anything we can get hold of. Folk fancy is the basis for all literature. In it are the germs of the epic, the drama, the novei. The story of Jason or the Odyssey of Homer are readily detachable in fireside tales. Folk tales all originated from the same source, later to be tinged by difference of tastes in nationalities. “There are three cycles in Irish folk tale history. The first is weird, nebul- ous, of uncertain form, treating of the struggle of the gods for the control of the land. In the second adventures and exploits of great heroes who fought with the gods are described. “In the third cycle the gods and the heroes are put aside and the tales are of people of our own sort, adventures of hunters and of chieftains. To these three cycles might be added a fourth, that of the fairies. The Irish fairies are the same creatures that are de- scribed in English literature and they populated the green hills of Ireland. A great psychological truth may be drawn from examination of these folk lore cycles. It is that the fear with which man regards the creatures of his imagination vanishes, as civilization in- creases, and the tales pass from stories of gods and heroes to men and from men to fairies. “There are two classes of folk lore which treat of songs, old customs. The first class abounds in long words, many alliterations, stilted siyle of speech. The second class is folk.beliefs. These merely recite the beliefs of the anclent peoples and are not in long, connected stories.” Dr. Hyde related many charming specimens of Irish folk tales, and sald of them: “When I began to put down these stories it was with the idea of preserv- ing the language, but I soon found that they were rich in pictures of the an- clent mind and the many obvious myths imbedded In the folk tales make them interesting to every one. “The great spread of these stories can be accounted for in three ways: They were invented in one place and were had by the different races from the parent stem; they were invented inde- pendently or they were invented in one place and carried over the world in some mysterious way. Max Muller says they grew up from a ‘disease of lan- Herbert Spencer has a theory guage.’ of his own. But this is mine: I be- lleve that all these stories which we find in Grimm's book about talking animals, dead men coming to life again, etc., began in a perfod of the life of the ancestors of the present European na- tions when they were in a condition such as the Australian blacks are now in—when an intellectual condition, in which they did not know the difference between animals and men, between the animate and the inanimate, ‘'was preva- lent over the land. And I believe that these tales were carried over the lands in some mysterious way which I can- not name.” 3 ALLEGED FIREBUG BEHIND THE BARS LOS ANGELES, March 3.—An arrest that may prove of great importance in stopping the reign of Incendiary fires in Los Angeles was made early today at a fire in the spice and coffee house of George H. Stall, 447 South Los An- geleg street. The man arrested gave the name of John Brady and he was booked as a suspect. He could not give an account of his presence in a rubbish pile in an alley where the fire broke out just a moment after he left. He stated he was from Chicago. The police have asked the Chicago police for a description of Anton Hansen, the alleged pyromaniac, who recently dis- her then that he had drawn it merely money is made in America. It 8 regurded as highly improbable that Stinson would have kept the draft during the entire eighteen years up to the time he was murdered. Conse- quently word has been sent to the po- lice here to ignore the draft in seeking information about the murder. —_———————— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE, OCEAN STEAMERS.

This hope was sus- tained, if not encouraged, by the fact tkat a similarly charitable termination of more flagrant cases of conduct has fur- nished abundant precedents in the desired direction in the case of Captain Curtis. —_—— PROMOTER OF AN ARIZONA 'MINING COMPFANY ARRESTED Members of Young Men's In- stitute of Three Counties to Meet in Marin Next Sunday LARGE CROWD EXPECTED SR State Degree Team Will Ex- emplify the New Ritual on ‘Scores of Candidates —_—— Special Dispatch to The Call.

Within the last year Redwood City has grown with re- markable strides. Its population has increased rapidly. New residents and business men have come here to live permanently, and in a general way the town has taken on a metropolitan air. Annoyance and delay have been occa- sioned by the lack of proper street des- ignations, and the secretary of the im- provement club will urge upon the City Council the absolute need of fixing the necessary designations on the streets. —_—————— SHOVES HUSBAND OVER FENCE AND HIS BACK IS BROKEN Peter Henratty, a longshoreman, was pushed over a fence by his wife yes- terday and fell into a basement on Te- hama street, near First, fracturing his spine.
