OF LIEUTENANT HANSON

ANOTHER ROMANCE?
Rumor Links Young Wo
man's Name With That
of Captain Dal ton
Because there have been so many j
scandals in army life already MrsT j
Caroline Gordon Hanson, whose wed- ;
ding" to Lieutenant L. E. Hanson in
Manila five years ago was the climax |
of one of the first romances of the;
American occupation of the Philip
pines, said yesterday, Just before ob
taining an interlocutory decree, th?t
the dreaded bringing suit for divorce.
"For the good of the service" was one
of her reasons. Another was that the
lieutenant really was an estimable
man, although he always was criticis
ing her taste in hats and dress. On j
the other hand she disliked his selec- I
Uons of cigars and civilian scarfs. Be
sides she could not bear \avir.g him
make unkind remarks trhile she
poured his coffee at breakfast.
"We simply grated upon one an
other's nerves," she said.
But behind the suit that was con* I
eluded yesterday is a love story over
lapping the romance between Lieu
tenant Hanson of the Twenty-sixth
infantry and Miss Caroline Gordon,
the society girl of South Carolina, who
had shone in the summer capitals of
America with brilliance equal to that
which captivated the army man then
stationed in the tropic islands of the
Pacific
Mrs. Hanson will leave on Sunday
for Xew York, where her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Richard H. Gordon, now live,
and friends are expecting her mar
riage to Captain Albert C. Dalton of
the quartermaster's' department as
soon cs her divorce is made absolute.
DEMES LATEST RUMOR
\u25a0 At her present home, 2500 Pacific
avenue. Just opposite the armyhead
. quarters of the department of Califor
nia, Mrs. Hanson positively denied
yesterday that there was another ro
mance.
'Tve had quite enough of matri
mony," she said. "Don't understand
me as saying that I am a hater of men
because of my unfortunate experience,
but I'd like to see the color of the
man's hair whom I'd marry now."
Officers who served with him in the
Philippines says it's nearly black ana
grizzled slightly at the temples and
over the ears with tiny, curling wisps
of gray. x Captain Dalton' also is said
to be of the dashing type of military
man. He is a native of Indiana and
rose from the ranks. He Is 40 years
old.' while the bride who, it is asserted,
the cupld of the garrison of Manila
picked for him is not yet 30.
Lieutenant Hanson met Miss Gordon
while she was visiting army friends in
Manila. Her family Is of, the Gordons
of the Carolina^, numbered among the
few whose fortunes were not swept
away by the war.
Tall and of a striking blonde beauty,
the girl had a disposition -to match, and
willed that she should travel, though
her family remained in Xew York.
VHUi a. friend as chaperon she flitted
from place to place, reigning alike
among the society belles at Asheville.
Washington, Xew York and Xarragah
sett. Then tiring of conquests In her
own land, she came to San Francisco
and sailed for Manila. That was in
3901, the year Captain Dalton attained
his present rank. In May, 1902, the ro
. mance between the infantry lieutenant
and the handsome southern girl re
sulted In a wedding which was made
& brilliant occasion by the men and
• women of the army stationed .in the
restive Islands at that time.
MEETS CAPTAIX DALTOX
In the following August N Captain
: Dalton was transferred from the Twen
ty-second infantry, which he had en
tered as a private, to the Twenty-sixth,
Lieutenant Hanson's regiment. Shortly
afterward the captain met the lieu
tenant and his bride, whose soft- ac
cents bore testimony of their Dixie
i origin. Another brie/ period and Lieu
j tenant Hanson returned to the United
• States, taking his pretty young wife to
Fort Mclntosh, Tex., his new post. A
: year more and Mrs. Hanson came to
• San Francisco, while the lieutenant re
mained on duty at the lonely fort.
Xonsupport was the technical plea In
' the suit for separation.
"I couldn't choose a gown the Heu
: tenant liked." explained Mrs. Hanson;
\u25a0 "nor could I bear those vile Manila
j cigars he smoked. He criticised my
1 grace in pouring coffee; I didn't like
' his ties. So we agreed that it were
j better that we part, and I came here
! to procure a divorce.
j -"I regret that there was no avoiding
1 it. for there have been many scandals
j in the army and I feared our little dis
: agreement might be added -to them.
But there Is absolutely no truth in; the
1 etory that I am to become Mrs. Albert
C. Dalton."
Mr*. Gordon testified for her daugh
: ter in a deposition sent from Xew York.
; Richard Gordon Jr., a well known at
: torney at 42 Broadway In the same city.
also testified <\u25a0 that Lieutenant Hanson
failed to provide for; his wife and that
she was forced to look to him and his
mother for support.

Heavy Guns.of Batteries That Guard Golden
Gate. Are Trained on Imaginary: Foes
The maneuvers at the Presidio yes
terday simulated a' defense by land and
sea against an invading force,, as it
would be carried out in case of actual
warfare.
The heavy" guns of the . batteries at
Fort Winneld Scott and Fort -Baker,
which great batteries govern the en
trance to the Golden gate, opened fire
simultaneously with the beginning of
the operations by the land forces. Add
ed to this Captain E..M. Shlnkle at Fort
Barry was -trying out the new 12 inch
disappearing guns, and these added
realistic effect to. the mimic warfare
of the forces engaged in the coast ma
neuvers.
In addition to the roar of the great
guns on the ocean points was the crack
of the rifles in the hands: of the na
tional' guard,; and j the rattle of the
gatling guns, which were ; firing at the
rate of. 200 shots, a minute. Then to
increase the realism of the . situation
the hospital detachment of the national
guard established dressing stations on
Presidio hill with every "facility for
caring for the wounded. \u25a0
During this time the- signal corps,
in command of Lieu tenant ; Abbott, was
covering the field of operations with a
net work of • '..wires) which
permitted Colonel H. I. Seymour to
communicate Instantly with every por
tion of his forces. . 7:*:.. ' >
The problem. of the morning .was ,the
supposed repelling of a t foreign \u25a0 invad
ing force that"; had ilanded : near ;Half
Moon bay, and had worked its \u25a0 wayj up
to the eastern approach of the Presidio.
To \u25a0 combat this attempted : invasion - the
forces stationed at the post 1 were all
lined up at points above and below Mc-
Dowell avenue.
Stationed to the west of- the avenue
were the "batteries *of ; guns,
under the command of ' Captain '; F. F.-
Canon, Second ; infantry/ . from . Sacra
mento, the first battery belng'ln charge
of Lieutenant . D. E. Barney, and the
second' in command of Lieutenant I. de
L. Jaynes. .
Directly under the, batteries of "the
gatling * guns , was the advance firing
line, in ' command iof Major John Zit
tinger. Second Inf antry, N.' G.' C.
These troops were dispersed \ behind
the different knolls, in, full vjew of the
supposed* approach of the enemy. \The
largest part of the force ;. was \u25a0 concen
trated In the advance firing line,. which
consisted of part of F company, Second
Infantry, N. G. . C-. supported • by ' Com
pany N, Second Infantry, N.'G.'C.. The
reserve - for- these forces .was ? held *at
Presidio hill; being _ln direct j communi
cation with the advance line by means
of telegraph and telephone communica
tion. These wires . were simply ; strung
along the ground and they ran over a
distance of about two miles. The;con
nection between , : the < different points
was absolutely perfect.
"While ; the 'battle i lasted there iwer'e
plenty of blank'' cartridges \u25a0 used,' and
the fight seemed .to-be raging, with'
great fury. when, the bugle call
brought* the, warfare- to" a standstill. ..
The work: of ) yesterday/ was v by -far
the . most spectacular: that; has -taken
place since the * beginning of • the en
campment. It was just before the noon
hour that the problem was to
a close, and then followed a "meeting
of all the ' officers of both \u25a0 the ; regulars
and state : f orces,'-! wheh . the -: events of
the morning .were discussed., ,;
Colonel Cook,, ln" command of the-ln
fantry aupports,';; ln'r speaking . of- the
work of the state troops said:

SAN FRANCISCO YACHT

BECAUSE OF SLANDERS
Efforts ; of Sausalito Trustee;

ports of Wild Nights

J^'C. Pistoles!, member of the boarA^
of -supervisors* of Marin county, town
trustee* of Sausallto and attorney for
poolrooms of that town,* was' expelled
from the .San Francisco yacht ..club
at "a meeting, of .its board of. directors
yesterday afternoon. -The reason given _
was 'that 'Pistoles! had said some very
unkind I thing* about the club members '
during the last few weeks. -Those who.
claim" to know the Inside facts say that
the attorney's v fight In behalf of the
poolroom men 4 also had much •to do «
with his being ousted from the yacht.
dub. .- iBpHBHBBMKSM
The directors wrote Plstolesl a letter
after .theytook action. Commodore L.
S.?Phillipps and Secretary W. S. Spen
cer, refused,. to divulge the contents ToC
the^'note last 'night, intimated- that*
as ; Plstolesl .'was accustomed r to talk | oC
the affairs of the. club he would prob
ably.be quite willing to make the note
public.
The dropping of the attorney's namo
from the club., while It came rath«Ar
suddenly,; was -not at all a surprise.
For; many months Pistoles! . had been
open in his denunciation of the club
and its members. He.went so far as
to say 'that the entertainments at the
many high jinks of the club were pos
itively immoral, men and women being
permitted to perform on the stage in a
nude state, while the members looked
on and. applauded. '' '. -
It was Pistoles! . who made a fight
some time ago against the. renewal of
the >llquor< license of the club. .He inti
mated then that the privilege was be
ing abused.. •
Shortly after the poolroom raid?*
were . inaugurated Pistoles! lined up
with the forces of Harvey and Daroux
against - District Attorney Boyd . and
Captain ; Cleary. , He championed , : th^
cause ot * the gamblers openly and is
believed . to have made many enemies
among the ' members of .the , yacht . club
arid other citizens of Sausallto by liU
actions. . '
."Why don't the San Francisco author
ities make a fight against the Saa
Francisco "yacht . club?" Pl3tolesl
shouted, shortly 'after the poolroom
war was started. "The jinks and or
gies that have been. going on in their
clubhouse are disgraceful. Men and
women- were hired to perform nude on
the "stage for; the amusement "of the
members.'-.- I^am; ashamed of ' the club,
though I am forced to admit that I am
a. member 0f. 1t."
It Is understood that trouble is brew-
Ing between Pistolesl. and Harvey and
Daroux. The gamblers are said to have
become vexed. at the attorney because
of his willingness to. indulge in a vast
amount of: tallt* regarding the poolroom
fight." l Daroux in an Interview, several
days ago said:;
'-' . "Haryey/ahd * myself are able to do
our 7 own talking." . When , we have any
thing to ;say: we want the floor our
selves.. We have not authorized Pisto
le si to make any statements for us and
we request that none of them be taken
officially." «
