Mrs. Matthews engaged Miss Cough: lin to act as her private secretary vears ago. She had known the woman for years before that me and trusted her. Soon after Coughlin came to live in the hew residence, on Webster street, valuable articles were lost from the house, and the disappearance of things puzzled Mrs. Matthews. The thefts of silver plate, cut glass, jew- elry and money continued during a pe- riod of about fourteen months. Last fall Miss Coughiin, while at Ziegler Springs with her employer, told Mrs, Matthews that a sick mother re. quired her attention and she must leave Mrs. Matthews' employ. The secreta returned to Oakland, but continued visit the Matthews residence, and jewelry continued to disappear. When a valuable diamond brooch was missed three months ago the police were called in. Hodgkins worked out a chain of evi- dence that thoroughly incriminated Miss Coughlin and today the denoue- ment occurred, involving the former secretary’s disgrace and the clearing | up what had been a complete mys- tery in the Matthews' household. e geve e e weifare of the * NOW OAKLAND WANTS CITY AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT Wil Wait on Governor With a View to Having Proposed Legistation in- cluded in His Cai e OAKLAND, Ma LITTLE MAUD WALKER SAYS FATHER DROVE HER.

OAKLAND, May 22.—Seven brides and grooms going in procession to the marriage altar was a scene that made the employes of the Counfy Clerk's office break into the whistling of a wedding march. Justice of the Peace Geary tarried a little on the way and before he arrived the seven anxious, hopeful couples had piled' up on him, waiting for the words to be said that would make them one, or rather seven ones. The fourteen loving hearts had been waiting the advent of the Jus- tice for some time, seated around a table, killing time in side glances and whispered words, and his arrival was the signal for a general rising and the forming of a procession leading to the County Clerk’s private office. The earthquake and fire have seemingly had a guickening effect on the matrimonial market, as this brisk work has continued for severdl weeks and is just as heavy on the othér side of the bay. ¥ AR RS A s e WIill Try to Close Salcons. BERKELEY, May 22.—The Trinity Methodist , Church congregation has adopted resolutions condeniiing the town trustees for their failure to act on a peti- tion for the removal of saloons from Berkeley, the petition having been sent to the trustees several months ago. It was proposed to have organized a com- mittee of one hundred, made up of repre- sentative men from all Berkeley churches, the committee’s aim being the removal or radical reduction of the number of sa- loons in Berkeley. There Are now ten of these saloons, all in West Berkeley, none being allowed within a mile of the university. The following committee was apointed by the Methodist church, to co- operate with other churchmen, who may be made members of the committee of one hundred: A. 8. Cooley, G. Sanchez, G. A. Mattern, L.

SOCIETY PLANS AN AL FRESCO CAFE CHANTANT BY ZOE GREEN RADCLIFFE. OAKLAND, May 22.—Even in the old days when, apparently, society’s sole aim wes to ‘‘eat, drink and be merry,” the cry of the orphan or the plaint of the sorrowing was never unheeded. The fashionable set was never so gay as when assembling in charity's name, and no effort was too great to make when the world's unfortunates were to be aided. So it is now that the world's butterflies have been transformed into busy “bees and every home and church is a hive of industry, for never was need so great, never were the afflicted so many. Sewing bees have been in unceasing operation since that eventful April 18, but now other means of helping, by seeur- ing funds, is being agitated. The younger members of the smart set are deep in preparations for the coming vaudeville show that is to take place at the Mac- Dermott home on Eighth and Center streets. The MacDermotts have always been among Oakland’s lavish entertainers and their residence, in the midst of ex- tensive gardens, has frequently been the scene of merry entértaining. The affair on June T is for the benefit of the San Francisco sufferers and promises to be the most unique entertainment ever of- fered in a private home. It will be a cafe chantant out of doors—an al fresca vaudeville performance, and every man and maid in local society is interested. Every tree and shrub will sparkle with myriads of electric lights and over the beautifully kept lawns small tables and chairs will be scattered, wheré the guests may be served with refreshments while enjoying the programme-—and the programme alone would attract a goodly crowd. Among the society maids. who are to sing, dance and participate in other pleasing fashion are Miss Lita Schlessinger, Miss Flora -MacDermott, Miss Blanche Tisdale and Miss Margaret Knox. - Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dieckmann will both take part and so alse will Mrs. Frank Winchester of San Francisco. Ru- fus Smith, Miiton Schwartz and Don Teller are all locally celebrated and those who have heard E. James Finney will be delighted to hear him agdin. Duval Moore of San Francisco is still another attractive name. The programme will cl able farce by Robert Marshall, who wrote the “Duke of Killicrankie,” the cast to in- clude Miss Tisdale, Miss Knox, Mrs. Teller and Willard Barton, all of whom are more than amateurs. The nights of June are the. most delightful of the year, so alto- gether the treat in store promises to be a rare one, and the relief funfl wiil receive | a notable addition. . with a laugh- . A quiet and impressive wedding cere- | mony took place in Alameda on Sunday last, when I I Brown, attorney, and 2 | son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brown, was married to Miss Amy Sloss, the elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Sloss, for- | merly of Loulsville, Kan., but for several | years past of San Francisco. It was planned, prior to the catastrophe which 80 recently befell San Francisco, to have an elaborate wedding, but in keeping with the changed conditions the huptials were performed in a simple and unostentatious | manner. Justice Sloss of the Supreme | Court, a cousin of the bride, officlated. | The céremony was witnessed by the | families of the contracting parties. The bride was attired in her traveling gown, departing immediately after the ceremony to the Hotel Del Monte, Monterey, where | the couple-will spend their..honéymoon. Upon their return to San Francisco, in a | week's time, they will take up their tem- | porary residence at the home of the | bride’s parents, 2266 Franklin street. 7t o The marriage of Mrs. N. K. Dunning,| proprietor of the Touraine Hotel, and | Paul Watlet, a business man of Oakland | and Nevada, was solemnized last even- | ing at the hotel in the presence of a few friends. The bride is well known in the city and has a host of warm friends in the social and business world. e The most notable event of the week| will be the wedding tomorrow night of | Miss Noelle de Golia and Challen R. Parker. The ceremony of course wili be conducted with great simplicity, but it is bound to be an unusually charming af- fair, as the functions at the De Golia home are alwaye characterized by rare good taste. The bride is the only daugh- | ter of Mr. and Mrs. George E. de Gélia. e e MANIAC ATTEMPTS MURDER. BERKELEY, May 22.—Lars Nel- son, a Swedish laborer who has been| employed as a sprinkling cart driver, made a murderous attack upon Po- liceman J. T.

JORDAN TRACES ~ i B O |Stanford President Says | Biggest Shock Was ' Felt at Sea. ures That Fault Ends Off the Coast of Mendocino. Special Dispatch to The Call STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 22. Dr. David Starr Jordan, after a study of the earthquake rift or fault, says that the southern end of the fault did not extend farther than a point near | Salinas and that the most violent | Shocks were apparently felt at its northern end. He says: “] went down to Priest Valley in Montere; county, to look for the southern extension of the rift or fault. It does not reach Priest Valley, a! though the earthquake was very sevére . The main fault, lately re- ned, seems to pass fhrough that section and probably on to Cholame and Carisa plain. The recent fault is broadest and its shocks were ap- parently most violent at its northern end. . The point of greatest violence was perhaps in the sea off Mendocine County. The rift runs in a straight line from the mouth of Alder Creek, near Point Arena, to near Salinas.
