Live Right, but Feels Law's Hard Hand BRIDE LEFT WEEPING Schellenberg Must Serve His Term Before He Can Join Wife OAKLAND, Aug. 2S.~Wlth. only six weeks remaining of a prison sentence on which he had been paroled, Henry Schellenberg, alias Waldo and Wanko, was arrested today and returned to San Quentin for having violated his parole by marrying Jennie Brown on July 24. Bince his wedding he had been living with his wife at the Whosoever Will mission. In Ninth street between Franklin and Webster. The place is kept by J. C Westenberg as a refuge for outcasts and ex-convicts, and Schel lenberg, as he was known, had sought a home there like the others. The convict was cent to San Qu*>ntin from Los Angeles after an attempt in that place to break. Jail. At the prison he gained the confidence of his guards, who recommended a parole. The re-, quest was granted and Schellenberg, pledged to live rightly, became a free man. \u25a0">'-. The statutes of this state make a convict civilly dead and forbid a per son civilly dead to make a contract, even of marriage. Schellenberg's bride knew of his prison record. The weeping wife protests that she knew of her husband's record when sh& married him and that . she * will stand by him and seek a second parole. The legal knot, however, may be hard to untangle. This is the first time such a question has presented itself in the state and there is no precedent to guide the attorneys. -;\u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0>. .=/ TWENTY THOUSAND MEN TO MARCH IN PARADE Fifty Unions Will Combine in Holding Celebration of Labor Day OAKLAND, Aug. 23. — Twenty thou sfcnd men, representing EO labor unions, will march In the Labor day parade to be held on the morning of September 2.

FEED DEALER BUILDS TWO BARNS TO OBEY THE LAW Ordinance Prescribes Against Cer tain Number of Animals 'in One Building, So He Erects Another ALAMEDA, Aug. 23. — The city officials say that A. H. W.'Koerber, a feed and fuel dealer at 2312 s Santa Clara avenue, apparently has evaded an ordinance passed • recently by the .city council, which prohibits the erec tion on any one lot within a certain prescribed district of a stable shelter- Ing more than four horses. 'The object of the measure was to prevent the. building of stables in residential dis tricts. Koerber owns ' a lot in Santa Clara avenue west of the library build ing on which he desired to stable eight horses, fearing that the present quar ters of the animals at his: feed and fuel yard were in danger of being destroyed quickly In case of, fire. In order to circumvent the 'ordinance which prohibits .the stabling of " more than four horses in a barn on a single lot and to stable eight horses on the lot Koerber had two barns built so closely to each' other that for prac tical purposes. they are as one building yet each is a separate stable for. four horses, and technically within the pro visions of the ordinance.
