TO Y. M. C. A. FUND
Indebtedness on Hill Street Build
ing Diminishes to $33,500
Following Hard Work
103 WOMEN GIVE $1000 EACH
Stranger Who Enjoyed Hospital
ity of Rooms at One Time
Contributes $5
Six thousand and Aye hundred dol
lars was obtained by Y. W. C. A.
solicitors yesterday toward the $40,000
needed to pay off .the Indebtedness
against the association's building at
251-253 South Hill street, and, inci
dentally, 103 women are assured of a
pretentious luncheon at the California
club as the guests of W. C. Patterson
and Gail B. Johnson, who pledged
j themselves to provide the luncheon if
' 100 women gave $1000 each toward the
cost of the association's home.
In the morning, before the canvas
sing for $100 subscriptions had been
begun, the association had an indebt
edness of $40,000. By one day's work
the sum has- been diminished to $33,500,
and the women are hopeful about rais
ing the remaining sum In time to ded
icate their building on New Year's
day.
In 1907, when the building committee
first began Its campaign for raising
funds, Messrs. Patterson and Johnson
promised Mrs. A. (5. Chichester, chair
man of the committee, a luncheon if
she could get 100 women to subscribe
$1000 each, the luncheon to be given at
the California club.to the entire 100.
Mrs. Chichester not only got the 100
women but an extra three, and the
prospective hosts say that they hope
even more women will be added to the
list before the luncheon is given.
DATE NOT VET SKT
The exact date has not been set, but
invitations will be issued for some
time immediately after the holiday.;.
In the early part of the morning a
woman walked into the Y. W. C. A.
rooms and stated that she was a
stranger in town and having noticed
the buttons which so many women were
wearing she wanted to learn their pur
pose. Upon being informed as to the
fund being raised she , said she had
had some pleasure herself In the Y.
W. C. A. rooms; that the .people there
had been very good to her and she
would subscribe $5. She registered as
Miss Leslie, but would not give any
address. • •••.;■«" Vi
The three new women to give $1000
are Mrs. H. J. Whitley, Mrs. W. S.
Benton and Mrs. Janss.
A surprise feature, of the day was
Sprung at the committee meeting when
Miss Emma Rosa entered with a $100
subscription saying the girls of the
associated membership had given $10
apiece to the cause.
The members of the building asso
ciation and all the officers of the Y.
W. C. A. wish to express their thanks
to the public at larg^.
"We have been more than , gener
ously treated," declared Miss Cora
Tatham, general secretary. "It makes
us quite hopeful about raising the rest
of ' our indebtedness before the new
year." • A ' • ; ■ • \^

DENVER JUDGE SCORES
JURY PANEL METHODS
Trial Jurist Hopes His Decision
Will Be Overruled by the
Supreme Court
DENVER, Nov. 30.— overruling a
motion to dismiss the entire jury panel
in a murder case Judge Shattuck
scored jury methods in Denver and
expressed the hope that his action
might be overruled by the supreme
court.
The ocasion was the trial of Genkyo
Mitisunaga, a Japanese charged with
the murder of Mrs. Catherine Wilson,
Mltisunaga's attorney alleging that
the jury panel was made up of pro
fessional jurors. Judge Shattuck said:
"There are things about our judicial
system here that are a disgrace and
an Insult to free people. Men are re
peatedly brought to serve as jurors
when they are not even bona fide resi
dents of this city. They are in no
way qualified to serve. I had a bill
introduced in the legislature to change
this injustice. The house passed it,
but the senate turned it down. In
overruling your decision I hope you
will take my decision up to the su
preme court and that that court will
hold me to be wrong and will force
the legislature to take steps to remedy
this defect."

HOOK'S WIFE SAYS
THEY HAVE PARTED
Spouse Does Not Know Where
Clubman Is, but Denies Oi
vorce Suit Is Filed
YOUNG WOMAN IN SAN DIEGO
Husband Is Thought to Be in
Northern California with
His Mother
Rumors which have been rife In so
ciety circles in Dos Angeles lately to
the effect that Barbee S. Hook, club
man and capitalist, and his bride of a
few months had separated received
confirmation last night from Mrs.
Barbee Hook. Accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. John Pearse, Mrs. Hook
arrived In San Diego last evening.
She denied any knowledge of her hus
band's whereabouts or of divorce pro
ceedings having been filed.
Mr. Hook, accompanied by his moth
er, Mrs. Mary B. Hook, left Dos An
geles some ttfme ago. They are be
lieved to be In Northern California.
Neither he nor his mother have given
out any information. The Herald is

San Diego:
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 30.—Mrs. Barbee
S. Hook and her mother, Mrs. John
Pearse, dropped into San Diego on the
night train from the north tonight as
quietly as they disappeared In the
same direction one day last week.
They refused pointblank to say where
they had been. When Mrs. Hook was
asked If divorce proceedings had been
started she replied:
"No."
When asked if there was going to be
any she said:
"I don't care to say anything about
that. I don't care for any notoriety.
Barbee and I have separated, but I will
make no statement. As far as I know
there have been no divorce proceed
ings started. I am a young girl and
don't care for all this notoriety."
When pressed further for some def
inite information, and after being told
that much had already been published
about her and her husband, Mrs. Hook
replied:
"There has been too much notoriety
already. I don't care to be quoted on
the possibility of divorce proceedings."
Mrs. Pearse refused to answer any
questions, referring inquiries to her
daughter. Both denied knowing
where Mr. Hook is.
