Yates, re- in the oustody of the police, who hold him on a charge of bigamy, pre- ferred by his first wife, with whom he resided at San Bruno before the affair with Miss Emma Petrie engaged his at- tention. Mr. Yates was such a perfect gentle- man, with such winning manners,” said the distracted mother today, “that I could not bellieve but Emma was making a good match in marrying him. Yates thought it would be so romantic to g0 on to Reno and have the marriage performed there, and I consented, with- out any idea that he really wanted to get away where his first wife would rot know he was marrying again. 1 sent Emma a telegram this morn. ing telling her that if she needed money to wire me and I would send it to her.

He wooed and Petrie in three monthe. “He always told me he liked my tea,” Petrie, “and I could not be- feve but he was a fine man. He had the way with him that women like, but he meant nothing by it, I suppose. It was with him & case of 'kiss and for- get’ I suppose. I did net think a man could fool me, but there are more tricks than I knew of, evidenuy.” Mrs. Petrie was informed several days ago by Mrs. Yates No. 1 that the Petrie rl had married another woman’'s husband when she was united to Yates in Reno a few weeks ago. Then Mrs. Petrie counseled the excited Mrs. Yates to settle her affair with Yates quietly, but the woman preferred to give the police charge of the case, and so it was that Yates was arrested on the bigamy charge in Reno yester- day. His first wife is especially bitter against Yates because, so she alleges, he pawned her jewelry and other pos- sestions for money to use In courting the beautiful Miss Petrie. ¥ BOY DROWNED WHILE AT PLAY, OAKLAND, March 26.~Edwin Ander- son, the twelve-year-old son of C.

BERKELEY, March .~—Recent ro- searches by Professor W. J. V. Oster- kout, who is assoclated with the botany department at the University of Call- fornia, have demonstrated that the idea that sea plants are not found in fresh is incorrect. The u: versity man’s rescarches, the resuilts of which are published in a bulletin issued at the University today, show that the life of plants in sea water is conditioned by the same factora as those that gov- ern the distribution of animal life. Changes of chemical composition in the water, rather than differences in den- aity of sea water and fresh water, ar2 of chief importance. Sea water is made up of a number of substances poisonous to both animals and plants if taken tingly, but also antagonistic, and se balanced zgainst each other as to give a harmless medium. A disturbance of the halance presumaby produces the fa- tal result observed, rather than 3 change in the density of the medium. —_——— ‘WOULD WIDEN BROADWAY.

The saloons of Menio are pumer- ous and disreputable. Efforts have been made in vain by the reputable elements here to suppreas them. Petitlons loeking to the regulation of the liquor trafe have been sent to the Board of Supervisors. but to no purpose. Clergymen have given their support to the crusade for fewer saloons and more decent omes, but the county officlais have turned a deaf ear. As neither Palo Aito nor Mayfleld permit the liguer traffic, the bibulously Mmelned turned to Menlo Park, much to the dis- comfort and disgust of residents here. Were incorperation to be realized the li- quor traffic. could be placed under re- straint and night outrages could je stopped. Decent residents and property owners are very much in earnest over the matter, and every effort will be made to incorporate the town, The petition for this purpose already has many signatures and seems assured of a sympathetic reception by the Board of Su- pervisors. If the requisite number of sig- natures be obtained the election must be called. The lssue will then be clearly de- fined between the saicon men and those who insist upon a proper regulation of the liquor traffic.
