TWO WOMEN WEEP OVER
A FICKLE ACCOUNTANT
Wife and Sweetheart Shed
Tears and Save Gay
Gordon Rowe
ALAMEDA, Oct. 18.— With two pretty
roung women, one his wife and the
other whom he would make wife Xo. 2.
weeping over him, Gordon Rowe. a
handsome accountant, appeared in the
city Justice could today to answer %
«harge of having threatened to kill
Mrs. Eline Fronmuller. -aunt of Mies
Thelma Jorgenson, who had exposed
the defendants double dealing In
heart.". Mrs. Howe erica pitifully for
her erring husband and M'.ss Jorgen
son said that her own sobs were caused
by sorrow which she felt for the wife
of the man she hftd regarded as her
sweetheart for two and a half years.
Bo violent did the weeping duet become
that Judge R. B. Tappan ordered Miss
Jorg«n»on carried from the courtroom
into his private chamber, where the
yonng women's hysterical grief epent
itself.
After Judge Tappan h»d concluded
his investigation he asked: "Mrs.
Howe, what shall I do with your hus
band ?"
"Forgive him, es I have done," walled
the young wife, as *he flung her arms :
About the defendant's neck and kissed
liim passionately. J
The magistrate dismissed the charge
OKalr.st Rowe after the latter had j
promised that he would cease paying
attentions to Miss Jorgenson, to whom
he always represented that he was a
single man. .
Rowe is employed by an expert ac
countant in the Hansford building in
Fan Francisco. He Is 24 years old and
with his wife, whom he married a yeajr
ago, has lived in an ark on the tidal
i anal near the Park street bridge. Miss

has been Uvlng with her aunt. Mrs.
Kline Fronmuller of 1761 Ninth avenue,
Kast Oakland, wife of John Fronmuller.
superintendent of the grounds at Arbor
villa.
Howe, as it appears from a letter he
wrote to Miss Jorgenson Monday, has
been keeping company with her for
two and a half years and passing hlm
prlf off as unmarried. He repeatedly
rrquestrd Miss Rowe to become his
bride. Mrs. Fronmuller, who had for
pooia lime suspected that Rowe was
not df sling honorably with her niece,
»ir-jjan an investigation that proved to
\icr that Rowe already had a wife. The
fmnt advised the niece to have nothing
Snore to do with the gay deceiver and
the young woman returned hi* photo
and v number of presents he had given
li*r. ' This action on the part of Miss
-!r>rß«»nson caused him to send a heart
burning missive to the young woman In
which he wrote that he would kill her
aunt. The letter came Into possession
at Mrs. Fronmuller, who caused Rowe's
arrest for making a threat against her

SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S
NEW MOVE MYSTERIOUS
Opposition of Oakland Officials to
Franchise May Be Cause of
Change in Plans
OAKLAND, Oct. 18,—Aotlon of South
ern Pacific, company representatlvfts in
withdrawing from the city council an
application for permission to eleotriza
its Webster street, line into Oakland
from the Alameda mole, as announced
this | morn in k by The Call, has given
rise to no end of speculation as to the
purpose of the company in that regard.
Among some of the prominent city
! officials a strong opposition has arisen
to granting the company a SO year
franchise to operate trains through
Franklin street, thus forming a "dead
line" across town At right angles to
the Seventh street "dead line." There
has also developed among property
owners north of Fourteenth street in
Franklin an opposition which has been
disclosed to the company by Its agents,
who have been canvassing for signers
to a petition for the granting' of a
franchise.
• These unfavorable reports, coupled
with the orders that were -Issued from
JJew York to retrench on the Harriman
lines, are believed by some of the city
officials to be responsible for the
Southern Pacific withdrawal.
John J. Allen of the law firm o*
Allen A Walsh, representing the South
ern Pacific oompany, was the attorney
who withdrew the s a ppilc&tlon last
night. He said that the oompany did
not intend to abandon the plan of pro*
posed changes In Webster street. Ha
suggested that the company might in
clude its application in that oonneo
tlon with future applications tor fran
chises. . .
_ Allen intimated that when the com
pany should be ready to apply for a
change of Its entire Oakland serrjee
to eleotrioity, Webster street would be
included. .

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 18.— A party of
negroes barricaded themselves in a
downtown house 'tonight and started ai
email riot. One policeman. was killed,
several were wounded and one negro
was wounded and five were arrested. 1
The trouble started In front of the
Second German Presbyterian church, at
Claiborne and Annette streets, during
services tonight, when . several negroos
became boisterous.
Patrolman Camblons. who attempted
to arrest them, was . killed. The ne
groes rah to a nearby house which they
barricaded. .With shotguns, revolvers
and razors they! awaited the police.a
few of whom gathered aulckly and
stormed the house. Sergeant Wheatly
was mortally wounded and Patrolman
Wenslck and Corporal J. W. Dunn re
ceived serious wounds. The j negroes
were captured after the bouse had been j
set afire. t
Patrolman Cambions was killed by a
knife thrust and his body lay for * a
considerable time" ln front of the.barri
caded house, no one daring to move it.
About half an hour after his death a
email detail of policemen made a rush
upon the house, more than half a dozen
of them falling to the pavement, shot
by the negroes behind the windows.
The police were driven to shelter, car
! rylng the wounded men with them.
For more" than- a« quarter of an hour
the negroes were the masters of the
neighborhood, -while the police col
lected a force of 25 men to renew the
attack. This larger squad surrounded
the house so that no one could escape
and after finding that threats and
shooting were of no avail set fire to
a fence behind the house.
The smoke drove the negroes from
cover. They broke for safety singly,
the first one out falling mortally
wounded, while the next two rushed
i out with empty hands held over their
heads and begged for meroy.
HARRIMAN PICKS MAN
TO TAKE FISH'S PLACE
CHICAGO, Oct 18.— The meeting of
the stook holders of the Illinois Central
railroad was today again postponed,
this time until 3sßo o'olock Saturday
afternoon. " No action of any kind was
taken. The delay was oaused by the
inability of the ) committee on proxies
to present its work.
When the stock holders met today
the committee had only reaohed the let
ter "H," and at that had considered
merely the domestic proxies. None of
those received from abroad had been
touohed. The delay has beoome very
irksome to Harriman, who said today
that it was neoessary for him to be In

ccc how he conid leave Chloago before

and Fish were at the bank today to
confer with Mitchell, who is a personal
friend of both men. They were at the
bank at the same time, but they did
not meet.
The delay In reaching a vote on dl

stock holders to abandon the meeting.
Not "over 50 were present at. the meet
ing today, and large numbers of those
who attended the opening session have
already left for their homes.

Point in Interesting
Controversy

land "won a victory over the',Varney &
Green- billboard advertising company
today, when Judge Waste sustained th>»
demurrer filed by City Attorney J. E.
McElroy ln> answer to the company's
complaint. ' The suit "arose from an
ordinance passed 'several months ago
putting a tax : of , 3 H cents a square
yard upon the billboards belonging to
the company. \ Their complaint alleged
that the tax: was prohibitive and would
result In'grreat loss to the'-. business.*
Judge Waste ruled that; the city had
authority to place such a tax. The com
pany was given 10 days to . file an
amended complaint.' Pending the out
come of the suit an injunction was
issued restraining th« police depart
ment from tearing down the boards.
The decision today will dissolve the in
junction if the amended complaint fails
to put a new face on the affair.

UNION'S NOTICE CLOSES
SEVERAL SMALL MINES
GOLDFIELD, Oct. I^— -Several of the
smaller properties in the Goldfleld dis
trlot were closed today, as a result of
the notice . given by the miner*" union
that none ot its members hereafter
would^ work for any mine or leased
property not shipping ore. unless the
company operating the same estab
lished a semimonthly pay day. Nearly
, all. the; companies have complied with
the requirement of the union, or were
paying their men twice a month before
the notice was Issued. Consequently,
when the rule was put ln'foroe at 11
o'clock last night only two or threo
shut; downs > resulted. It waa reported
around town today that the Daisy and
other welL knowji properties "were af
feoted. but such is not the case, as they
are working and paying twice a month.
It is admitted generally that the miners
were Justified in Insisting on a «eml
monthly pay day, and there is no pos
sibility of any serious trouble resulting
irom the enforcement of the new rule.
