A CHILD THAT ELOPED.
After Marriage She Sued
Her Guardian for Her
Salary.

Many Producers to Test an
Ordinance — The Barring

Oakland Office Pan Feakciboo Call,]
908 Broadway, Oct. 22. |
Another child marriage came to light in
the Superior Court to-day. Last spring
Charles Rogers obtained a license to marry
Minnie Li bon and they were married by
Judge Clift, declaring that their residence
was West Berkeley. It has since transpired
that Mi>s Minnie left the home of her
guardian, Mary Lewis of Centerville, and
eloped with Rogers.
When the aunl heard of the marriage
she immediately took steps to try and
have it annulled, but in this she was un
successful. She said she knew her niece's
age from letters sent to her by a parish
priest in Portugal, whence the girl
came about hve years ago. These letters
. that Minnie was only 16 and not 18
when she married.
A few weeks ago Minnie determined to
get even with her aunt for her opposition
to her marriage, and she brought suit lor
$•;'"»> for wages alleced to be due her for
i-ervices in the Lewis household at Center
ville.
Attorney B. S. Miekley, who appeared
for the aunt, told the following story to
Judge Oguen to-day: ''rive years ago,"
be said, "Minnie came to America from
Portugal. She was one of a large family
and Mrs. Lewis, in order to assist them, j
sent the money which secured Minnie's i
.<• west. The girl was educated here ;
for three years, and after that was pro- !
Tided with a good home by her aunt, She \
I a little in the household, but j
never had any just claim upon her aunt in
the way of wages. The girl ran away with i
Charles Rogers of Sun Leandro and was \
married against the wishes of her aunt, i
who wanted her to wait until she was of
legal ace. Not long after the marriage
ut was riled, and the attorney for
knew that it was set for trial
to-day, but has not seen fit to appear in
court." Upon this showing Judge O^den
dismissed the case because of the non-ap
pearance of the plaintiff.
?<!r«. Boogmr*fl Story.
The trial of Michael Collins for the kill
ing of Philip Boogar was resumed before
Prick tliis morning. The cross
examination of Mrs. Boogar was taken up
point reached last Friday where it
off by the fainting of the witness,
racy Terry asked several questions
refeirinc to the divorce proceedings be
tween Mr.*. Boogar and her husband that
the witness <vas protected from answering.
The cross-examination brought out tint
Boogar had beaten her and frequently
called her t tie most offensive names. The !
witness told the story of the rice that her ■
husband wanted to eat after it had been ■
poisoned with rough on rats. She then
repeated the story of being thrown out of ,'
the William Tell ' House in San Francisco,
where she claims her husband was being j
kepi by tb*M who had an interest in keep
ing them apart- She also stated that dur
ing me var.ous cases which form the his
tory of the Boogar litigation in this City
thirteen attorneys had been arrayed
against her. Attorney George Knight
then commenced to refer to the characters
of these attorneys, and this brought on a
word}- war between Knight and Terry.
Terry persisted in introducing side re
marks, much to the annoyance of the
court, whereupon Judge Frick stated that
any further breach of etiquette would be
severely punished. The case may go to
the jury this week.
To Test His Own Lair.
For many ytars the sidewalks of the
main thoroughfares of Oakland have been
used by dealers for the display of goods.
When M. C. Chapman was Mayor he ap
proved an ordinance regulating traffic and
sales on the street, and preventing such
traffic and sale from endangering the pub
lic comfort and safety. The street sales of j
goods, in spite of "the ordinance, have j
grown to such great proportions that the
resident merchants and storekeepers are
anxious to drive the peddlers from the
streets. .
The Merchants' Exchange took the mat
tor up several months ago and tried to in
duce the Council to pass an amendment to
the ordinance, and place the amount of
license required at such a high figure as I
practically to prohibit peddling within |
certain limits. The petition of the mer
chants was tabled, but License inspector
Mitchell proceeded to enforce the old ordi- J
nance in all its details.
V. T. Braga was arrested for violating
ith provisions, and backed by some eighty
producers and vendors he has decided to ■
test its validity. Ex-Mayor M. C. Chap- j
man, who signed the ordinance, has been
retained to test its validity, and he de
clares that when he signed it he had grave
doubts, which have since become certain
ties, as to its constitationality.

THE CHUMRUNS AT WORK.
An Effort to Give Working
Women a Touch of
Social Life,
Everything Elevating Will Be
Provided to Help Make
Life Pleasant.
Oakland Office, San Francisco Caul,)
906 Broadway, October 22. )"
The first regular meeting of the Chum
run Club was held to-night at the home
of Mrs. S. B. Cheek, 672 Eighteenth street.
The club was organized two weeks ago by
Mrs. Caeek. the widow of the late Dr.
Marion Cheek, who was one of the chief
councilors of state in Siam. The club is
organized entirely for the working women
of Oakland.
The objee^ of the Chumrun Club are to
elevate its members, to give them enter
tainment and to bring them in touch with
society. The somewhat peculiar name of
the club is sufficiently explained when its
meaning is understood. It is a Siamese,
word which means prosperity. Mrs. 8. E.
Carrington of this city is assisting Mrs.
Cheek in arranging various entertain
ments and lectures. Miss Horton, a well
known educator of this city, will also take
an active Dart in its management. Mrs.
Carrington was a resident of Siam for
many years, and that interesting country
will supply many subjects for her lectures.
Invitations have been extended to all
the young working women in Oakland and
as there is no expense whatever attached
to membership the club should prove a
big success. Mrs. Cheek ana her friends
and colleagues defray all expenses. It is
desired to secure as members working
! women under 40 years of age, who are
I dependent upon themselves. This is the
first organization of the kind that has ever
been formed in this city, and to-night's
meeting proved that it will be popular.
"I believe this organization will do a
great deal of good," said Mrs. Cheek to
day. "I will throw open my home for the
benefit of the young women twice
j every month. We desire to have
enrolled every young working-woman in
! Oakland. We will give them a little touch
I of home life, such as many of them have
I not seen in years. We desire especially to
' have enrolled in the club the young women
who are in our stores and who are com
pelled to toil from morning until night.
These are the ones who have little pleasure
in life and have small chance to elevate
S themselves. We will endeavor to give
| them a little literature and art, a lUtle
hygiene and similar subjects, that they
may become better women. No other in
vitation is needed than that any young
woman shall have a desire to join the club,
and the more that come the better pleased
we shall be."

REPUBLICANS OEGANIZE.
The Voters of the Thirty Sixth District
Ready for the Next Campaign.
The Republicans of the Thirty-sixth
Assembly District met in Twin Peaks Hall,
at the corner of Seventeenth and Noe
streets, Monday night, to the number of 200,
for the purpose of organizing the official
club of that district. The meeting was
called to order by Joseph Shearrer, who
had been empowered by the executive
council of the fctate Central Committee to
form the club. Mr. Shearrer announced
the purpose of the call for the meeting and
awaited the pleasure of the assembly.
Edward Short was chosen as temporary
chairman and A. Duffy as temporary sec
retary.
On motion the chair appointed A. At
tridge, W. Thurgood, F. Merrill, M.
O'Brien and 0. B. King as a committee on
the roll of membership of the club. The
committee reported a membership of 157
as having signed the roll.
A committee was then appointed on per
| manent organization, consisting of F.
I French. H. Smith, Charles Lampe, Wil
liam Gleason and William Robertson.
This committee reported as a result of its
deliberations that the temporary organiza
tion of the club be made the permanent
organization, which report was adopted.
Thomas B. O'Brien was then introduced
and addressed the club at some length on
the importance of the coming campaign.
James E. Field of the Republican Execu
tive Council followed with an earnest plea
for perfect organization and the need of
harmony in the party.
An executive committee consisting of
seventeen members was appointed, one
from each precinct in the district and one
at lar^e.

affairs of the district, were noticed W. P.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1895.
LOCAL OPTION ONCE MORE
A Campaign to Be Formally
Outlined in Oak
land.
both sides are at work.
Endeavorers, Adventists and
Prohibitionists Will Assume
the Offensive.
Oakland Office Sax Francisco Call,)
908 Broadway. Oct. 22. f
The opening of the Oakland campaign
for local option will take place on Thurs
day evening in the auditorium of the
Y. M. C. A. Hall. Last Sunday evening
notice of the meeting was given in all the
churches, mission halls and Salvation
Army barracks.
The Rev. William Rader, president of
the Council for the Suppression of the
Saloons, will preside for the last time over
that body. The severing of his connection
with the council will close the actions of
the members so far as regards Sunday
closing and will mark the commencement
of a new field of work.
Rev. Dr. Coyle will most probably be
elected to succeed Mr. Rader, and as he is
an advanced prohibitionist there will be
nothing uncertain about the manner in
which he will conduct the affairs of the
council. The refusal of the saloon-keepers
and liquor-dealers to make their own side
of the tisht for Sunday closing has proved
that the methods advocated by the coun
cil to attuin tlieir end were impracticable.
Several years have elapsed since the last
local option campaign was made in this
city. It was then a failure, as sufh'cient
interest had not been aroused among those
who most desired it. Since then, how
ever, the Christian Endeavor work in this
city has been fully organized and is now
Eervaded by an aggressive spirit. Aided
y the large number of Seventh-day Ad
ventists, the Endeavorers, Prohibitionists
and all those who are opposed to the traf
fic in intoxicating liquors express con
fidence that they will be able to carry their
point when it shall be submitted to the
people.
The California Protective Association
has already organized a quiet movement
to offset the work of the local option fac
tion. The liquor-dealers have given some
pronounced utterances of their opinion re
garding those who would drive them out
of the business. They assert that a large
portion of the city's revenue is derived
from their licenses and that it would be
bad policy to force the question to an
issue.
At next Thursday's meeting an aggress
ive plan of campaign will be outlined. As
both pides are showing a determined front
the conflict is being watched with great
interest.
BERKELEY SCHOOL BONDS
The Board of Education Unan
imously Favors a Levy
of $120,000.
Olympic Football Men Decline
to Meet the University
Players.
BERKELEY, Cal., Oct. 22.— The Board
of Education held a meeting last night,
and the school bonding question came up
for discussion.
President Boone informed the board that
since they had taken action relating to the
bond question he had attended the meet
ings of the improvement End progressive
chibß, and at them had observed an entire
willingness on the part of citizens present
to incur the indebtedness necessary for the
construction and proper equipment of bet
ter school buildings.
He then recommended to the board that
they rescind their former resolution which
called for $100,000 bonds, and that the
amount be fixed at $120,000. This recom
mendation was carried unanimously.
Mr. Boone stated further that while the
board could take no action on the wharf
question he felt certain that the citizens of
East Berkeley, and in fact the whole town,
were in favor of better wharfage facilities.
Students' "Rush."
The freshman and sophomore classes
had two "rushes" to-day on the football
field over the painting of their class sum-
bers on the baseball backstop. Yesterday
a big " '9B" adorned the backstop, which
is in a most conspicuous place on the
campus, but this morning the sophomoies'
class number was entirely obliterated and
sixteen miniature '"99's" took its place.
These numbers were *oon covered with
whitewash and another " '9B" put up. A
"rush" was called for 12:10 and about fifty
men showed up, but the "sophs" were in
the ascendency and soon vanquished the
"freshies."
At 5 o'clock this evening another rush
over the number took place, but again the
'98 men were triumphant and completely
overwhelmed the small army of '99 men.
About 400 spectators witnessed the affair.
The rushes to-day were in reality a contin
uation of those which took place last Sat
urday, the day following the "freshie"
glee."
No Game With Olympics.
L. A. Hilborn, one of the university
athletes, received a letter to-day from
Manager Gill of the Olympic Club lootbail
team, "in which the statement was made
that on account of it being so difficult for
the players to leave their business early
enough in the day to come to Berkeley the
proposed game this week with the XI. C.
eleven would be declared off.
An effort will be made by the Olympics
to get the Berkeley team to play a practice
game with them in San Francisco, at an
eariy date.
Exercises to Be Suspended.
The president of the university has an
nounced that there will be no sessions of
the V. C. on the day of the funeral of Re
gent Ainswortl), wno died last Sunday.
Up till late to-night no dispatches had
been received by the university authorities
stating what day the funeral would take
place, but it was the general impression
that it would be Thursday.

Celebrate Their Golden
Wedding.
ALAMEDA, Cal., Oct. 22.— A pitched
battle with fowling pieces was fought on
Bay Farm island last Sunday between two
gangs of boys. There were eleven boys in
the crowd and seven guns. A dispute
arose between them as to which one of
their number shot a snipe, and being
unable to decide it among themselves they
concluded to have a battle. They ranged
themselves behind McCartney's dyke and
opened fire. Bridge-tender RalphHamlin
put a stop to hostilities, but not before one
of the boys had received a charge of shot in
his hand. A row broke out among them
after they left the island, but the bridge
tender could not state how it ended.

honor to the estimable couple, who for
more than fifteen years have been respected

Bryan and his wife sat at the head of ;the
table and looked at the happy faces around
them they felt as young as wnen, fifty

were born. Mr. Bryan is a California
pioneer, having crossed the continent in
an ox team in 1853. He settled first in El
Dorado County, removing afterward to
Sacramento, where for more than twenty
years he was a successful farmer. He was
born October 9. 1821, and at the age of 24
married Miss Mary G. Hernden.
One of the most touching features of the
fathering last evenine was the perform- [
ance of a second ceremony by Rev. J. J.
Mart<n, when the aged couple plighted
their troth anew.
A large number of friends called to ex
tend congratulations and Mrs. J. J. Mar
tin composed a poem especially for the oc
casion entitled "Our Wedding Day."
Among the many handsome presents
received by the couple were a gold watch,
presented to the mother, and a gold-han
dlod umbrella to the father, from the

Another Honor for Bath White.
Miss Ruth White, who has left San Francisco
with the Trilby Company was given a charm
ing reception Sunday afternoon last by her
teacher, Miss Marie Witkrow. Only the pupils
of Miss Withrow were invited and they took
that opportunity of presenting Miss White with
a beautifully engraved watch ami chat-claim;
as souvenirs 'of rejoicing at lier weil-deserved
good fortune. They made a wreath for her
from the flowers with which the rooms were
lavishly decorated and did not hesitate to teil
her how beautiful she looked. After refresh
ments Miss White sang "Ben Bolt" and I'hilip
Rowe sang "Say au revoir, but Xot Good-by/'
the others joining in the refrain.
SCENE IN COURT.
A Woman Calls Another a liiar While
Testifying Kefore Judge
Conlan.
Mrs. Ida Seldie of 1425 Hayes street
created considerable excitement in Judge
Conlan's court yesterday morning by giv
ing the lie to a witness who was testifying
as to her reputation.
Mrs. Seldte had two young men, Alfred
Cappoie and Charles Walker, arrested
about three weeks ago for burglary.
Mrs. Seldte, while she went under the
name of Mrs. Jones, lived with the defend
ant Cappole's mother at 969 Howard street,
and the arrest of young Cappole has led to
a feeling of bitterness beeween the two
women.
The prosecution closed its case yesterday
morainp, and Mm. Cappole was put on the
stand for the defense. She testified thai
Mrp. Seldte was a bad woman and dealt in
stolen goods. "She is now wearing a cape
that was stolen," continued the witness.
Mrs. Seldte jumped to her feet and
screamed out: "You're a liar. You're a
miserable lying wretch." With clenched
fists and flashing eyes she made a rush for
Mrs. Cappole and was about to strike her
when Policeman Bean seized hold of her,
and Judge Conlan ordered him to take her
out of tne courtroom. She went into the'
room where the witnesses were waiting to
be called, and a few minutes later a young
woman rushed into the courtroom and
asked the Judge for protection as Mrs.
Seldte was grossly insulting her. Mrs.
Seldte was taken into court and lectured
by the Judge. Then she took her de
parture.
THE FAIR CONTEST.
No Hearing on the Probate of the "Will
Expected Next Month.
The beginning of the Senator Fair will
contest, set on the court calendar for No
vember 4, will probably be postponed on
account of the test case concerning the
right of the trustees to control the Lick
House property.
The latter dispute was submitted to
Judge Slack yesterday, and as the attor
neys argued for a week or more and cited
several hundred authorities, which they
asfced the Juage to consult and consider, it
is expected that a decision will not be given
within a month. The contest over the
probate of the will is to be postponed until
this matter is decided.
