street.
More than a hundred gue«ts witnessed the
ceremony anil later enjoyed the elaborate mar
rlage fr-ast. The bride's table was a vivid
picture, red carnations and tulle and a large
basket of white sweetpeas occupying the cen
ter of the big round table.
Mr. Mendenhall is one of Oakland's best
known attorneys and is unusually popular In
buylm-ss and social circles.. He has always
been prominent in political affairs, and has
etumped the State In various Republican cam
paigns.
Red was the keynote of the entire color
scheme and was strikingly effective. A deep
window in the large drawing room wao lined
with ferns and scarlet swe^tpeas. forming a
bower where the lovers stood during the sol

The »i JdinK at the Hatch home on Harri
son street was a really charming affair, and
the bride hersrlf was rotxd In one of the hand
somest (towns ?e-n this year. It was of lace
of an exauUlte tuittrni. The drop skirts of
taffeta and cblffun each had a dozen or more
ttny ruffles around the edee, giving a filmy
fluffy eflVct. The full bodice was finished with
a wide belt, and tiny bows of white panne vel
vet and long accordion pleatlngs of chiffon gave
a graceful finish to the elbuw sleeves. The veil
wa* fahtened with lilles-of-the-valley, and the
bridal bouquet was a shower of the IlIUs also.
Mrs. Georg* Humphreys, as matron of honor,
in a beautiful gown of white chiffon, recalled
to mind the day not long ago when she her-
F'lf was a bride. Hbe carried this evening a
great bunch of scarlet carnations. The groom
was attended by his brother, M. A. Menden

For several years it was thought by Asa V.

In 1003 I came to New York and shortly
afterward went to Chicago, where I graduated
from the South Division High School. After
leaving school I studied for two years at the
New York School of Acting and then took &
teacher's course in English with Miss Laugh

MONEY IN T STAR-GAZING.
Immediately after my father's death my
mother removed to Haiti, where she. married
a German planter named Otto Steinberg, and
It was from my stepfather that I received the
name Julius Steinberg. Some of -my step
father's relatives now own the Steinberg fruit
ranch near Walla Walla, In the State of
Washington. .
During the time that my father was the
ruler of the Province of Labore he presented
to Queen Victoria the famous diamond, the
Kohlnoor, which Is the largest of the crown
jewels of Greut Britain. After his banishment
he demanded that the stone be returned to
him, but this was refused. After his recon
ciliation with the British Government the
crown allowed my father $.100,000 a year during
his life.
HIS FATHER AND 'VICTORIA.
OAKLAND, June 22.— If the wonder
ful story told by Julius Steinberg is
true, a Prince of the royal blood of In
dia is detained in the Alameda County
Jail awaiting trial before the Superior
Court on a charge of" grand larceny.
Steinberg, . who is unmistakably of
Hindoo parentage, claims that he is the
son of the late Prince Singh, former
Maharajah of the province of Lahore,
India, who was banished from his'na
tive land after the last mutiny for in
citing the natives to rebel against Brit
ish rule. Steinberg says that through
his father he is also a Prince of the
royal blood, his full title being Prince
Ramina Aramancha Singh. He says
that after the death, of his father in
Paris, in 1892, his mother married a
German by the name of Otto Steinberg,
who bestowed upon him the name of
Julius Steinberg.
The accused man Is well educated,
and in his apartments at the Glasgow,
105 Ellis street, San Francisco, is a
rare collection of Indian curios. Stein
berg is also the possessor of an excel
lent library, including a number of
standard' works on Indian history.
CLAIMS ROYAL ANCESTRY.
Steinberg told the following story to
day:
My father was Prince Singh. Maharajah of
the Province of Lahore in the interior of
India, and after the last uprising of the natives
he was banished from India for Inciting mu
tiny against the Hi-iiuh (Jovernment. When
my father- left India he went to Alexandria,
In Egypt, anri It. was there that he married
my mother, who was of mixed Egyptian and
German blood. Before his marriage my
father embraced Christianity, becoming a
Romsn Catholic, and when I was born I was
christened and baptized In the Catholic faith.
I was christened Kamlna Aramancha, and
bore that name until my mother's second mar
riage.
Aft?r a residence of several years In Alex
andria, my father and mother removed to
Paris, and while there my father petitioned
the British Government for permission to re
turn to India. This was refused, but after a
time permission was granted him to live
anywhere under the British flag except In
India, where he was forbidden to go on pain
of death. Despite the edict of the Government,
my father returned to India, endeavored to In
duce the natives to rlsa one* more against the
English, but they were satisfied with British
rule and refused. Soon afterward my father
returned to Purl?, where he died In 1892.

BERKELEY. June 22. — The Board
of Trustees has discovered that it
tannot change the ordinance regulat
ing the schedule of fees xharged by
the City Engineer until next April.
Trustee Redmond C. Staats said to
day that the board had been aware
for a long time that Engineer C. L.
Huggins had been collecting a large
amount of money in fees for street
work, but that it was powerless to
mtke the change until his term of of
fice expired. At least, that is the ad
vice that Town Attorney Hayne gave
the Trustees. As Huggins* term of
office does not expire until next April
no change can be made until then.
The office will then become elective,
according to a decision of the voters
in amending the charter at the last
election, and some reasonable salary
will be given to the engineer, probably
$3000 a year. Huggins' gross income
Ust year was J 10,000. out of which
he says he had to disburse J4000 for

Professor Frederick J. Turner, the
foremost of American writers of his
tory, arrived in Berkeley to-day from
the University of Wisconsin, having
come to give a course in American his
tory at th* summer session at the
University of California. Professor
Turner is accompanied by his wife.
This is their first visit to California.
Professor Henry Morse Stephens of the
history department of the university
met them upon their arrival and intro
duced them to the university.
The courses of Professor Turner will
be confined to American history. These
will include lectures on "The Begin
nings of the West." "The Teaching of
American History" and "The Diplo
matic History of Washington's Admin
istration." In the first course he will
deal with the movements of the popu
lation of the United States from the
Atlantic Coast toward the West up to
1850. In the course on the teaching of
history he will address himself to
teachers particularly. The course deal-
Ing with the diplomacy of Washing

students only.
"I hope that I shall not have such
another experience here as I had at
Harvard when I gave this course in
'The' Beginnings of the West,* said
Professor Turner this afternoon. "The
students there thought It would be
something like Teddy Roosevelt's story
of the 'Winning of the West,' with In
dian fights and cowboys and Buffalo
Bills In the foreground. Some 80O ap
plied for admission to the course, but
we had to turn them off by making
certain restrictions."

The trouble arose over the fact that
Arada engaged his brother to help him
repair the roofs of the buildings at the
Emeryville racetrack. He collected un
ion wages for his brother, but main
tained that his brother was only doing
helper's work. The union warned him
and then fined him, first $11 and after
ward $25, for persisting in retaining his
brother in the position. Arada then de
manded that his brother be allowed to
join the union. This was denied, and*
he then demanded the money back he
had paid in fines. This was returned
and he was expelled from the union.
He found that he was then unable to
get work and began an action to get
back into the union again.
Shinglers' Union No. 1 of this city
has been ordered by the Superior Court
to reinstate an expelled member. A
writ of mandate directed to the union
and its secretary by Judge Ogden this
afternoon commands, it to rescind its
action expelling Thomas Arada from
the organization. The Judge held that
there Is no provision in the constitu
tion and by-laws of the union provid
ing for such expulsion.
The order is the result of an action
begun by Arada against the union to
ti tnpel it to reinstate him to member
ship. The trial has consumed several
days, and the testimony developed the
fact that Arada had been a member
of the union and had been expelled be
cause he had employed his non-union
brother to help him.
The question whether the work per
formed by Fillmore Arada. the brother,
was such work as the union had Juris
diction over was not a matter the court
took into consideration. Judge Ogden
based his decision upon a review of
the proceedings of the union in regard
to the expulsion of the member. An
examination of the constitution failed
to show that there was any provision
for the expelling of a member for em
ploying non-union workmen. Had there
been such a provision, Judge Ogden
said, the union would have had the
right to expel him.

They were taken to the home of Mrs.
Charles Mellln of 1721 Alcatraz avenue,
where they had been visiting. A physi
cian dressed their injuries. The child's
right leg was severely crushed, but not
broken. Mrs. Maguire lives at, 424*4
Shotwell street, San Francisco. Re
garding the accident, she said:
"I saw the cars coming together, but
it did not seem possible that the motor
men would let them come into collis
ion. It is so clear at the crossing that
there was no need for it. It was a
great piece of carelessness."
Motorman Huckstable said he
thought he had the right of way and
sent his car ahead because he had
counted on the other man stopping.
WOUNDED CAKED FOR.
Neither motorman checked his car
as he approached the crossing and the
result was the Inevitable smash, the
cars striking each other at the con
verging corners of their front ends.
Mrs. Maguire and her daughter were
sitting on the front end of the Alca
traz-avenue car, outside. They were
almost directly in line of the Tele
graph-avenue car's approach • and it
seemed that they would be crushed to
death. But the cars, striking together
on their corners, saved them. Both
mother and. child were thrown heavily
to the ground.
The clash occurred at 6:30 o'clock.
Car No. 52 of the Alcatraz-avenue line,
in charge of Motorman H. J. Hucksta
ble and Conductor J. H.' Eslick. was
moving toward Lorin station, when car
No. 195 of the Telegraph-avenue line,
handled by Motorman Charles O. Dai
ley and Conductor Hotaling, was going
toward Berkeley.
A HEAVY CLASH.
BERKELEY. June 22.— Two cars of
the Oakland Transit Consolidated col
lided this evening at Alcatraz and Tel
egraph avenues. They were full of pas
sengers, but all escaped injury with the
exception of Mrs. Frank Maguh-e and
her daughter Phyllis Maguire, aged 6
years, both oLwhom received severe
cuts and bruises. The escape of the
mother and daughter was marvelous,
as they were in a position that exposed
them to the full force of the contact.
Thd tracks are clear of obstructions
where they cross at the Intersection of
the two avenues, and the men in
charge could see the streets on all
sides for a block. Each motorman
says his car had the right of way and
that the other should have stopped at
the crossing.
The pair started toward the factory
together. Waite insists that as they
entered the shadow of the building he
was suddenly struck by Gonzales. who
had turned quickly upon his compan
ion and knocked him senseless. Waite's
garments were rifled. Then a policeman
found him Just as he recovered con
sciousness and Waite related his story.
Gonzales is about 24 years old, six feet
tall and very slender.
H. R. Waite of 29 Rausch street. San
Francisco, informed the police this
morning that he had been sandbagged
by Frank Gonzales, proprietor of a
Saratoga chip factory, and robbed of
$25. Waite claims that Gonzales lured
him to a lonely spot near Second and
Harrison streets last night and sud
denly assailed him with the sandbag.
Waite had been invited to come to
Oakland by Gonzales that they might
discuss Waite's proposal to buy the
factory. . The visitor arrived at 11
o'clock,, according to agreement, and
went to the chip establishment, there
meeting Gonzales.
