Although the engagement of the cou
ple had been announced some time ago.

lieve that their wedding date was still
in the indefinite future, and it is said
that the dread of rice and old shoes
was responsible for • the clandestine
ceremony. Clarence Elmer, a fellow
member of Ye Liberty stock company
with Harrison, was the only witness at
the wedding.

pians of considerable ability. Harri
son has played the leading: "villain"

its organization. He is a graduate of
Denver; university and a scion of a
wealthy family living in that city.
Miss Baumann is a pretty, dark eyed
brunette who recently completed a tour
of the coast with the Princess opera
company. Prior to her engagement with
this troupe she was one of the company
at the Idora theater.
Her father, Adolph Baumann, "was
stape director of the Royal opera house
in Berlin and was known as one of the
greatest stage directors that Europe
had ever known. He was drowned in
the English channel while on his way
to New York to assume charge of the
Metropolitan opera house. The bride's
mother was Teresa Jannsen, a well
known singer in European grand opera

BOARD MEETINGS
ARE LIVELY A FFAIRS
Mrs. Carlisle Has More than
Once Made Life "Plecsant"
for Colleagues
r BERKELEY, Feb^C. — It developed to
day that the four men members of the
school board have been chided more
than once by Mrs. Elinor Carlisle, dub
woman and first member of her sex to
be elected to the school board. In of
ficial : circles and in clubdom the re
bukj'.'administered by Mrs. Carlisle in
the secret session of the board last
Tuesday night is the main topic of con
versation. All are speculating on the
results.
According to reports current in of
ficial" circles Mrs. Carlisle at the first
meeting of the board laid down the law
and insisted that a change should be
made in the rules of the department
whereby man was given the preference
to woman in the matter of principal
ships.
"This present rule is an Insult to my
sex and I will not have it," declared
Mrs. Carlisle. Members of the board
endeavored to appease the wrath of
their colleague without success.
"This is a. taunt. to every woman that
she is not, the superior o* man," con
tinued the aggressive member. "I de
mand that woman be given the same
opportunities as man in the matter of
selecting teachers and principals for
the school department. She is in every
way his. mental equal."
Members of the board were inclined
to admit the "truth of Mrs. Carlisle's
remarks, but said that in a majority
of-cases brute force was required as a
prerequisite for a principalship and
that man seemed to show more of that
qualification than woman. The rule
was left unchanged.
At subsequent meetings Mrs. Carlisle
frequently chided the board for their
lack of knowledge of the social side of
the school child and their neglect of
this feature. Almost every meeting of
the board has -been enlivened by a tilt
of some kind or another.
The four men on the school board are
reticent regarding their predicament.
Their friends claim that they have en
deavored to support all of* the projects
of Mrs. Carlisle, but do not wish to
involve the board in financial difficul
ties.

VETERAN RAILROAD
CONSTRUCTOR ILL
R. W. Baxter, Friend of C. P.
Huntington, Is in Critical
Condition
ALAMEDA, Feb. 3.— R. W. Baxter, a
retired railroadman and the- oldest liv
ing member of the Roadmasters'-Asso
ciation of America, is a patient in the
Alameda- sanatorium. He underwent
an operation yesterday. Because of his
advanced . age. 76, his relatives and
friends are somewhat apprehensive
about his recovery.
Baxter and the late C. P. Huntington
were intimate friends and it was under
the supervision of Baxter that, rails
were laid over the greater part of the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific. . It
is said that the veteran constructor
directed the laying of more miles of
railroad than any other man in the his
tory of railroad building in America.
When the management of the Union
Pacific and the Central Pacific lines de
cided to have an account of the build
ing, of those roads written Eaxter was
called in to furnish much of the matter
for the chronicle. He possessed a
thorough knowledge of the great en
gineering feat by reason of his close
association with- the building of the
lines.
Baxter was the first roadmaster of
the old South .Pacific Coast road' that
was 'built from this city to Santa Cruz
by United States Senator Jame3 G. Fair
and associates. When the road was
taken over by the Southern Pacific
company Baxter was retained as road
master until rive years ago. when he
was forced to retire from active work
because of an injury sustained by
being knocked from a flatcar. He was
pensioned by the company upon retir
ing.
Baxter has.. made his home here for
25 years*. He has two sons, cine of
whom, R. W. Baxter Jr., Is master of
transportation of the Lehigh Valley
railroad. The other son, William Bax
ter, is a constructing engineer. Bax
ter has two daughters living here.
They are Mrs. Charles Jenkins and
Mrs. Alice Harrington.
