NO WORDS SPOKEN
AT ODD WEDDING
' m
Graduates of Berkeley Deaf
Mutes* Institute Are Married
in Sign Language
Not a word was spoken by either Miss
Lizzie Hannah Keesing or Monroe
Jacobs when they were married last
evening, the weddingc.- which was the
culmination of a pretty romance, be
ing the result of a courtship carried
on by means of the sign language. Miss
Keesing, who is an attractive and ac
complished graduate of the deaf and
dumb institute in Berkeley, is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bar
net Keesing. The bride's father was
the first boy of Jewish parentage born
in California. The/ bridegroom, who
was also graduated frrfm the Berkeley
Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, con
ducts a. printing business In this city.
The marriage ceremony, which was
conducted in accordance with the
Jewish rites, was performed in the
bride's home. 2821 Laguna street,
by Rabbi Bernard M. " Kaplan of
the Bush street synagogue. Dr.
Warren Wilkinson, superintendent
of the Berkeley school, repeated the
marriage ceremony as chanted by Rabbi
Kaplan to the bride and groom and the
responses were made in #he sign lan- .
guage.
The bride was becomingly attired In
& dress of white silk mull, beaded with
pearls and trimmed with lace. A bridal
veil fastened to the head with a wreath
of orange blossoms was also worn. Miss
Grace Keesing, a sister of the bride
and also a mute, and Miss Flossie Kees
ing, a cousin of- the ! bride, we're the
maids of honor. William Jacobs, a
brother of the groom, was the best
man. . . '
Following the ceremony a reception
was .held, during which the rtewly
married couple received the felicita
tions of a large number of friends and
relatives and many former school
mates at the Institute for the Deaf and
Dumb were also present during the
evening to greet the bride and groom.
Among those present at the, reception
were Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Dohrmann,
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Tilden, Mr. and
Mrs. S. Gore, Mr. and Mrs. E. Lohmeyer
and Mrs. Hannah Keesing, the bride's
grandmother. : •
After a trip through the southern
part of the state Mr. .and Mrs. Jacobs
will return to San Francisco, where
they will make their home. The young
couple were'Vthe recipients of many,
beautiful presents from relatives,
friends and schoolmates. *
MISCONDUCT CHARGES <)
SURPRISE LOCAL POST
Accusations Against Captain of
Sherman Stir Interest of
Many Friends Here
The news that Captain Campbell- E.
Babcock, quartermaster of the trans
port Sherman, had been charged with
misconduct on the. trip of that trans
port across the Pacific, has come as a
, great surprise to the army officers at
; this post.
I These charges were brought at Port
land, Ore., by ex-soldiers and civilians
who sailed from Manila on the Sher
man May 15, with the First infantry
and 106 casuals bound to Vancouver
barracks.
The charges made*are that dance hall
women from Manila were given prefer
ence on the Sherman to these ex-sol
, diers and civilians.
Captain Babcock has been quarter
master of the Sherman for the last four
years. He has always been regarded
with the highest esteem by the com
manders of the different departments at
this post. Babcock's of
the quartermaster's department on that
vessel has brought him in contact with
the highest officials In army life, not
only those who crossed upon the ves
sel of which he had charge, but also at
this post and at all the different sta
tions in the Philippines at which his
vessel visited.
The Sherman arrived at A6toria June
13 and having smallpox on board was
sent to quarantine.
The First infantry was taken to Van
couver barracks, the casuals were vac
cinated and sent ashore at Portland,
and at that point the charges against
Captain Babcock were made. The Sher
man has been fumigated and Is expect
ed to arrive at this port June 25.
FIRE SWEEPS GRAVES IN %
OLD CALVARY CEMETERY
Flames Destroy Tablets That
Marked Resting Places of
Early Settlers
A grass fire in old Calvary cemetery
yesterday afternoon swept bare more
than 250 graves, destroyed as many
fences and burned up a large number
of wooden tablets — the only markings
that identified the graves. The flames
finally were subdued by a detachment
from the fire department.
The origin of the blaze is not known,
but is thought to have been a cigarette
carelessly cast aside- by some tres
passer. It started a block distant from
the Geary street boundary and an equal
distance away from the Broderick
street side. Sweeping down the slope
and fanned by 'a' brisk wind, it reached
the wall at the.ex»eme northeast cor
ner of the plat before the firemen had
it under control. "'
The section of the .cemetery attacked
by the flames is the oldest part of Cal
vary's grounds and was completely
filled" as far back as 1885. For this rea- %
son|most of the graves are of San, Fra
ncisco's earliest settlers, their resting
places marked only by wooden name
plates, and many«of them long ago for
gotten. - The graves on which monu
ments had been erected suffered little,
but' all verdure was destroyed.
A few of t^ie older stone markings
were bowled over by- the force of the
water from the firemen's hoses. An
effort will be made to rearrange the
stones from the plat books of the ceme
tery association, but it is not known
how complete this record is.

and together they drove in through the
factory gates, through the wide fac
tory aisles, with the busy machines and
workmen on both sides, and on to one
of the 'elevators, and j were taken to
the roof, where they continued their
trip over the roadway and bridges,
nearly a quarter of a mile long, which
makes a complete circuit over the roofs
of the great plant. Whenever they
came to a building which they wished
to inspect the car would be driven to
an elevator and descending would make
the circuit of the desired floor, then
would ascend again to the roof by way
of the elevator. ;

• The tiremen's outing yesterday has brought
about a r.»w phase in the life of the automobile

that they were' out/of training. Many •of the

NAVAL MILITIA TO
TAKE LONG CRUISE
Command of 300 Men to Sail in
the* Alert From Sausalito
to San Diego
. Captain- George TV.'; Bauer, command
ing the naval militia of the state, will
stand :on the bridge .of the United
States ship Alert at midnight, June 27,
to give orders •to weigh anchor for a
cruise from Sausalito to San Diego.
Owing to the limited accommodations
on the vessel only a portion of the
militia outside of the fifth division, lo
cated at Eureka, will be able, to go on
the cruise. There will be 300 men un
der command of 30 officers.
' The Alert will ./each Santa Crux on
the morning of | June 29 and take on
board the men ,of »the fourth division
and steam for - Santa. Barbara, -where,
on the following day, the ship will be
boarded by the | men of the sixth divis-;
ion : - July 1 she will take up ' the men
of the seventh-" division ', at San Pedro
and on the following day the men ,of
the third' division at San Diego. Those
of the firsfand second divisions and the
engineer division will b& on board at
the time of starting.
The fifth division has.been excused
by the adjutant general's office from the
cruise, as it is to take part ' in the
maneuvers of ; the flotilla at Eureka
about that time, v •
The Alert will return tocher.anchor
age July 12. During the cruise there
will be instruction in navigation, gun
drill, 'target practice and In naval rou
tine work.
The number of : men now- enrolled in
the naval militia is 563, the. highest
number reached in the history of the
organization. All the divisions are up
to quota and in San Francisco there
are 40 on the waiting list.
From the talk in national guard
circles at this time it looks very much
as if the officers of the guard will not
have a picnic at the camp in Atascadero
next October. A great deal of time
will be devoted by the army officers in
instructing the guard officers in practi
cal work in order to make them pro
ficient in the handling of troops In
the field. They are to be drilled in
the open and will then be required to
explain the • orders given them! It Is
hoped by . such a course to make the
commissioned officers acquire knowl
edge which they cannot obtain from
books.
i All one pounder Hotchkiss and gat
ling guns under control of the guard
in this state are to be sent to the .ar
senal at Benicia' for the purpose of re
chambering and resighting to put them
in condition for the use of the new
ammunition. .
•'• " •
Five men from each of Major Grat
tan's battalion of \ the Fifth Infantry
will be in Rodeo today for the tryout
for the-reglmental shoot. The regulars
are stationed there, but as they do not
use the range on Sundays the guards
men have been granted the use of it
for practice. The; department of Cal
ifornia has. also furnished all tents and
camp equipments needed by the visit
ing guardsmen during their. stay there.
The five selected to represent Com
pany X at this tryout are First Ser
geant E. Lamerthln, Sergeant \u25a0 R, H.
Maie,r and Privates Hewitt, Hull and De
Phillips. This company is shortly to be
summoned under an emergency call.
The men | will assemble, at the armory
and prepare for heavy marching order
inside of an hour and a half. /A Each
man will carry rations and a bundle of
fire wood, so that he can make his own
cofTee when a halt Is called on the
march. The company .had a banquet
last week in celebration of the first an
niversary of the consolidation into the
Fifth • infantry. \u0084
Company C of the Fifth has secured
a site for a temporary range near Point
Richmond. It is available for the 500
yard distance. This "will be used by
the guard of this vicinity for practice
at that distance. ;>
Company M of the Fifth had a good
day in Wildcat canyon, Alameda county,
last Sunday. There was an excellent
practice march and exercise in-advanc©
and retreat. •
,Some officers of the Fifth are evi
dently *forgetting the regulation that
prohibits the wearing \u25a0of any sort of
the national guard uniform with civilian
clothing. Recently two were seen on
".the; streets .wearing: civilian clothes
arid -campaign hats. This, is to be re
ported at superior headquarters.
**.Tlie of the/Fif th is soon to be
brought face to face with a short range
target, in order to practice with re
volvers.
*• . •
' The members of Company 8,, Fifth
infantry,. located at San Jose % compos
ing the tryout squad, went to the-Liv
ermo.re .range recently to shoot with
the .'\u25a0 new rifles for place on ' the regi
mentffl team. The range and targets
were in poor: condition' and but few of
the men were able to f complete their
