PITCHER SECURES A
DIVORCE FROM WIFE
Halfmoon Bay Capitalist
' Freed From Strife by
Court Decision
NOTED.CONTEST ENDS
Judge Buck Upholds Agree
ment by Which Wife
Secures but $1,000
REDWOOD CTTT, Dec. s.— The fa
mous Pitcher divorce case was brought
I to a sudden end this morning in the
! superior court. ' No divorce case that
j has come up in the county for many
'years has excited half the interest that
this one ha* on account of the promt
; nence of the parties involved in the
suit. Pitcher i« an old time resident
of Halfmoon Bay, and his wife was a
member of the well known Casey fam
ily of that section. ;
At the time of the marriage there
was a great" deal of opposition niant
; fested by Pitcher's children by his. for-
I mer.wife.on. account of the age of their
! father and their dislike for^his in-:
i tended bride. But the old man was:
; stubborn and was married, notwith- ;
standing the fact that he was 72 years
jold. The approaching marriagetlid not
affect Pitcher's financial keenness by
which lie had gathered a fortune of
$100,000, however.
» Believing" It might be possible that
Kis intended bride, who \u25a0was 20 years'
younger than himself, might possibly
be after hls'money, he had a prenup
tial agreement drawn up. whtch the
woman found it necessary to sign be
fore the capitalist would consent to the
marriage ceremony. By this agree
ment the wife, for the consideration of
JI.OOO, agreed to forfeit all Jclaim to I
the estate, if for any cause' whatsoever j
she and* her husband should "become \
separated. By this means the capital- [
ist-provkled^for death, divorce or any
other possible contingency. \
Married life did not prove a bed of
roses for the couple, as it was not long,
before th«. wife showed an alarming
tendency to use strong drink to ex
cess. Pitcher's children by the former
wife helped to widen the breach, which :
shortly grew to an open rupture.
In rendering his decision today Judge
Buck said* that it 'was evident from the
testimony submitted during the case
that the two parties to the suit could
not live amicably together, and as they
were too old to change their ways, a
divorce •was absolutely necessary.
Pitcher's petition for a. divorce was
granted, and the court held that the
prenuptial agreement was valid, so all
the wife will get from her husband's
estate will be JI.OOO.

Helen Finney With
Grand Larceny -
MERCHANT IS JILTED
Follows Stenographer From
Sacramento in Search of
Engagement Ring
OAKLAND, Dec s.—^Helen Finney, 19

gave up her employment in the capital
city and came to Oakland to break her
betrothal to Ah Fong. a rich Chinese
merchant.
The Jilted man caused her arrest, in
thfs city on a charge of grand larceny.
He based this <jn the -fact., that when
she left Sacramento she failed to re
turn to him the, diamond, ring, he bad
given her as a token .of their engage
ment.: He claims that the v ring was
only loaned to her after the courtship
began, but the real reason for the Chi
nese merchant's action is said to bey his
resentment at being cast off, -J :!*
Fong says that he and the girl
planned to be married some weeks ago.
According to the girl,\who lived with
her parents and was employed as a
stenographer, she tired, of her lover's
attentions and left Sacramento to. es
cape from them. Fong endeavored to
have her return, and, failing in this,
swore to a complaint in Sacramento
and brought the warrant to Oakland.
Miss Finney was' arrested *by Detective
Green and will be Returned , to Sacra
mento tomorrow.' Fong says that he
will prosecute her.
Misa Finney was found in a Wash
ington' street lodging house, where she
had given the name of Bessie Crosby.
The girl was extremely reticent con
cerning her relations with 4ier Chinese
admirer. She said that Ah Fong's at
tentions had become so disagreeable
that she had left Sacramento to avoid
him. , • » '

SUES FOR GRAIN MISSING
FROM BANKERS' WAREHOUSE
Barley Exporter Charges
Officials With Taking
Excess, Weight
$45,000 RETURN
ASKS
Story Told biy ; Partner of
Manager's Son Basis
of* Action " -; k •
E. Clemens Horst. exporter" of barley
and^ hops," \u25a0filed^sult yesterday \u25a0 against
the Bankers' warehouse company to re
cover $45,000 : for -grain .which he al
leges "' disappeared while V. in Port
Costa storage plant -of .'the' Bankers*
concern, :- and $5,000 ; additional ; as dam
ages. This suit is, the sequel of an ac
tion instituted by the warehouse com
pany against Horst for $3,000 ware
house \u25a0 fees, and | the '« charge is made
that he has been the "victim ; of an ex
tensive system of graft based on _ a
scheme of appropriating 'excess deight
in grain, which he lays at the door of
the .warehouse managers and a keeper,
whom- he asserts have.gone into the
grain business themselves.* '; •>
Horst has been the largest storer of
grain In the warehouse which waa
taken over by the San Francisco' bank
creditors of the Eppinger- firm, whose
failure several years ago "• created - a
sensation and hit many^ financial insti
tutions hard. , In his; complaint he' de
clares that ] the disappearances of bar
ley In storage has been going on for a
year. He discovered them first through
the discrepancies between the .weights
given atVthe^warehouse on exports and
those returned by the official weighers
on the docks at the British ports of
entry. "\u25a0'\u25a0.:'\u25a0»\u25a0.':\u25a0' ..*\u25a0.\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0..\u25a0:\u25a0 .',' ''. ..- 4 *. :
When the "warehouse company filed
suit to recover the storage charges it
claimed Hiram W. Johnson, Horst's at
torney, took advantage of the oppor
tunity to obtain the depositions of .the
employes and learn how the missing
grain was appropriated. Last night he
made* a statement which laid bare what
he asserted was the method employed.
Barley, he said, took on weight In stor
age by absorption. The Increased weight
averages from a half to 1 per cent. On
100,000 pounds- of grain the excess
would be 1,000 pounds, and it is this
Increase which Horst alleges the ware
house men appropriated — in all nearly
2,500,000 pounds.
These facts, Johnson explained, had'
been adduced In the depositions of P.
A. Wadsworth; James Demlng and a
keeper named Prytz. Wadsworth gis
the son of Henry Wadsworth, manager
of the Bankers' company. The younger
man is the manager In charge at Port
Costa. Deming is his assistant, and
Prytz, who is the partner of the two
chief officials in the minor grain busi
ness, said he purchased one lot of 2,000
pounds of Horst grain from Wadsworth.
This was for the account of the Wads
worth-Demlng-Prytz firm, he said.
In their depositions. Wadsworth and
Deming are said to have conceded that
the appropriation of excess weight
would account for the disappearance
of some of.'Horst's grain.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5.— A fierce fight
is in progress between Japanese fisher
men and a party, of white fishermen for
the exclusive right to make catches In
the waters which surround San Clem s i
ente, the southernmost island of those
which line the southern, coast.
- The -only place on thel island where
a landing may safely bemade Is held!
by- ths white men, - w,.hile: the: Japanese j
are waiting for - reinforcements before
making a dash for the beach. Unless
some authority Intervenes it seems cer
tain that, somebody will get hurt be
fore the fight ends.
The white fishermen have sent for as
sistance, : and Nearly a score of their
fellows have sailed from San Pedro to
aid them lnkeepipgioff the Japanese.
The white men assert that^they are
Americans,, but this claim cannot be
sustained, for, not one in 20 of them
is a citizen of the United States. Most
of them are Greeks, and there is also
a sprinkling of Portuguese and Italians.
The white fishermen have enjoyed
the exclusive use of the San Clemente
fishing grounds for years, but Sunday
two | boatloads \u25a0 of - Japanese appeared
there and prepared to land. ' The white
men stoned , the boats so vigorously
that the Japanese retreated. Later
they again attempted .to land In small
boats, but one'v of • the boats was cap
siaed. , ' ' v }.
The Japanese then retired to a small
rocky Island near the large island and
camped there. Both sides have received
armed reinforcements.
TAFT LEAVES RUSSIAN
CAPITAL FOR BERLIN
St. Petersburg ~ Authorities Relieved
That Party Was Not Molested
by • Anarchists
% ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. ; 5.— -Secretary
of "War Taft and the members of his
party left, here at noon today for Ber
lin. : A "' party of Russian "offers 'and
functionaries and the staff of tne Amer
ican embassy saw the visitors off at the
railroad station. -\u0084, . •
The secretary -will spend a few hours
in Berlin tomorrow. 'He has asked
Charlemagne Tower, the American am
bassador at Berlin, to omit any formal
entertainment on account of the serious
illness of his mother, at ilillbury. \Mass.
The Russian' authorities are relieved
that- the secretary's visit has passed
without any untoward incident. . The
request of a group ;Df students of the I
university to be permitted to send a !
deputation to welcome Secretary Taft !
upon his arrival was denied by the au- I
thorities, as it; was> feared that this j
deputation \u25a0was merely a cover for\ a i
revolutionary \u25a0 demonstration. The po
lice constantly gnarded the corridors of
the hotel where the Taft party stopped
In order to prevent their being molested
by anarchists or cranks. f
