Wells. The findings were rendered on Belding’s cross-complaint g to the original action brought by his wife on December 5 last on the ground of cruelty. Through his attor- ney, R. H. Lattimer of this city, the de- fendant charged his wife with living openly with other men and neglecting tueir seven-year-old boy until he was made the object of pity by the entire neighborhood. The wife did not ap- pear, though she was represented by At- torney, O. G. Hopkjns of Sacramento.

Lenno has temporarily re- strained the North Coast Water Com- pany from shutting off the water from Professor Henry 8. Sedgewick because he refused to pay 50 per cent above the water rates fixed by the Town Trus- tees last July, within ten days after presentation of the bill, and ordered | the water company to appear February |26 and show cause why the order }should not be made perpetual. | Last June the Town Trustees passed an ordinance fixing the water rates for the present fiscal year the same as the | previous year. The water company ihs.d asked the Trustees to increase the | rates on the ground that their net rev- | enue was not more than 2 per cent on |the investment, and that 7 per cent | was a reasonable return. Upon the re- ‘porl of M. M. ©'Shau: "nessy that the | water company was receiving a good ]return the Trustees denied the re- quest. The water company, through a tem- porary restraining order of the Su- perior Court last July, tied the Trus- | tees up, and increased the water rates |50 per cent. The water company is- | sued its regular receipt with an excess tag, which became a rebate check in case of an adverse decision. he citt= zens anxiously await the decision ‘fn the Sedgewick case. —————— NOTING THE TOPOGRAPHICAL CHANGES CAUSED BY QUAKE Grizzly Peak, Near Berkeley Campus, Included in Points From Which Observations Will Be Made BERKELEY, Feb. 11.—Grizzly Peak, the hill just back of the campus, has been included in the list of points from which observations are being made by men of the United States Geodetic Sur- vey to show the extent- of changes wrought by the earthquake in the topography of this section., Qther sta- tions now being utilized for thfs pur- pose are on Mount Diablo, Mount Tamalpais, Snow Mountain and in the San Bruno hills, south of San Fran- cisco. Sidney C. Myers has been placed in charge of the station on Grizzly Peak. Under his direction observ: tions are being made. The relative lo- cation of the peaks was determined by men of the survey many years ago, and it is a simple matter to find out what changes the earthquake made in these loc: OVERCOME BY GAS IN TUNNEL MARTINEZ, Feb. work in the center of the tunnel.

MARTINEZ, Feb. 1l.—Experts of the Metropolitan Surety Company and the United-States Fidelity and Surety Company commenced an examination of the late County Treasurer George A. Wiley's books today. The chief aim of the experts is to discover, if possible, when the shortage occurred. The Metropolitan had been a surety on Wiley's bond only since January 1. It will try to show that the defalcation occurred before that date. The county is fully protected, as the bond given by each company was for $100,000. The Grand Jury held a short session today, and after official notice of the late Treasurer’s affairs had been given by District Attorney Alvarado an ad- journment was taken pending further investigation by the experts and the detectives who are working on the case. No intimation is given in official circles as to the possible outcome of the investigation. Suspicions have been aroused and there has been no end of rumor concerning the shortage and the possibility that others besides Wiley were implicated, but thus far not a whit of evidence has been un- covered. The officials, including Dis- trict Attorney Alvarado and Sherift Veale, promise that the affair will be probed to the bottom. Louis M. Buttner, the new County Treasurer, took charge of the office toda¥y, filing a $100,000 Aetna Surety Company bond. A statement will be issued tomorrow concerning the exact condition of the county's funds. RICH MOHAWK ORE B CASUS BELLI MARTINEZ, Feb. 11.—Five sacks of ore, said to have been stolen from the Mohawk mine at Goldfield, Nevada, were seized by Sheriff Vedle today at the Selby Smelting Works under a writ of repleyin sued out by the Mohawk Mining Company. The ore, according to the mining company’'s attorneys, Campbell, Metson & Drew, was stolen from a shipment of ore and was sold to the smelter by B. J. O'Connell, a miner from the Mo- hawk, The ore was missed, it is alleged, two weeks ago.

Dolge has filed with the Gov- | ernment a long exposure of certain of- | ficers’ attempts to rob the corporation | | of its immensely valuable rights in the Orinoco delta. / Printed coples of the document are \distributed widely, be- cause the censored local mewspapers cannot publish the charges. In order to avoid causing an embarrassment at Washington, Dolge has presented his resignation as. Consular agent to Thomas P. Moffatt, the American Con- sul at La Guayra. { In the document Dolge recites a long { list of alleged wrongs for which prom- | |inent politicians are btamed. The latest aggression complained of is that the authorities consented to the trans- | | fer to a New York syndicate known as | rthe Orinoco Lumber Company of a part of the property, which, he asserts, ac- JIPANESE § Oriental From Would Be Direct i | Stanford Says an Exclusion Law Insult RETALTATION THREAT STUDENTPRESENTS GONTEST 15 WAGED OVER INFANT Mysterious Nationality of Chew Sue Hon a Factor in Fight for Custody CHINESE OR INDIAN? | diplomatic service of his country.

The | | Government has sent two steamers | loaded with troops from here and has| | dispatched further detachments from | Ciudad Bolivar and Maturin to inter- | cept Paredes. General Paredes is sald to have had only twenty men when he landed, and |it is added that they nad only 300 | | rifles, but it is pointed out that many successful revolutions in Venezuela have begun with fewer men and of- | ficers. The health of President Castro is {again a matter of concern in spite of | official optlinism. Several of the most | prominent local physicians went to Ma- | cuto today, and it is said that this was preliminary to a serious operation on the President, the outcome of which is considered a matter of grave doubt. WASHINGTON, eb. 11 cialg here, although not advised of the | resignation of Dolge, were prised to hear that it had foll attack on the Ven elan Government. His status different from that of" a consul, in t his official connection with the Government really is estab- lished effectually only in the absence of the Consul General. It is fully ex- pected that Dolge will be expelled from Venezuela, as was M. Jaurette for a similar attack. The State Department has now be- fore it a number of claims against Cas- tro's government, mostly founded on ‘the alleged violation of concessions. These have been presented to the Ven- ezuflan foreign office, but not having received satisfactory consideration, they will again be brought to its atten- tion as soon as conditions in Venezuela become more settled. SPEEDY MAGEa AT KATING CLUB There were more soclety folk present at the last meeting of the Monday Night Skating Club last night than has been noted since its organization, and there was excitement galore sup- plied by the driving racgs which almost ended disastrously. Mrs. Ynez Shorb White arranged this feature as one of the culminating joys of the season of her club, which gas been so popular, and although there were many sore hearts on the part of those who were not permitted to enter and a number of sore bones for those who were al- lowed in, the novelty was most success- ful. Mrs. Fred McNear, Mrs. James Follis, Miss Maizie Lafghorne, Miss Bessie Ashton, iss Marion Wright, Miss. Erna Herrmann, Miss Maude Payne and Miss Bessie Bates were the ones selected for the drivers and each chose her own three men to drive. Brilliant hued ribbons were supplied for reins and the following were some of the teams: Mrs. McNear had Mr. McNear, Paul Jones and Joseph Carri- gatt; Miss Maizie Langhorne had Sid- ney Salisbury, Paige Monteagle and Kenneth Moore; Miss Maude Payne's team was made up of Duval Moore, Jack Hoffman and William Hough; Claude McLaine was one of Miss Bates’ team and Miss Herrman had Darrell Horan, Bliss Herrmann and J. Suflivan. The race ended disastrously for every team save Miss Herrmann's and Mrs. McNear's and there was one exciting pileup of three teams, but no one was hurt. 3 There was some question as to which won, but the victory should certainly have gone to Mrs. McNear and her team. They gained on all the others, there ‘was no confusion or faltering and oIrs. McNear’s grace and skill won her great admiration. Mrs. White has finally con- sented to continue the series and the first of the new skating parties will take place on February with practi- cally the same membership. There was an unusual number®of spectators last night and many of the leading society folk of San Mateo, Burlingame, San Rafael and the city were present.
