WEEKLY CALL, $ I PER YEAR MARSHAL ELLIOT IN GREAT DILEMMA United States Officer in Tangle by Issuance of Orders o! v Two Judges Judge Van Fleet Finally Grants Extension of Time and Saves Official^ Head* United States Marshal C. T. Elliott is in a position similar to that occupied by the Scottish gentleman who found himself "between the de'il and the deep sea." In a way the officer of the fed; eral government doesn't know whether he Is coming or going. This tangle in his ofScial affairs Is the outgrowth of an order issued by district Judge William Van Fleet in the suit of Leo pold, Feron & Co. of Chicago against George Frank to, sell certain property belonging to Frank In the Santa Clara valley to satisfy a judgment obtained by the eastern firm in the United States circuit court for $4,800. . Going to the property in question hammer in hand,' so that he might knock the property down to the highest bidder, the marshal was restrained by an order issued by Superior Judge Richards of Santa Clara county. The injunction had been granted on appli cation of Mrs. Frank. Thus Marshal Elliott found himself commanded by . two authorities. * No matter which court he obeyed he would be in contempt of the other. He tried to decide by guessing which court would impose the severest sentence if disobeyed. While turning these alternatives' in his mind he wandered back to the chambers of Judge Van Fleet. Tliere he obtained an extention of " 30 days on the execution^ He next placed the matter in the hands of United States; Attorney Robert T. Devlin, who will attempt to establish the line separating state and federal jurisdiction. HIGHWAYMEN WARNED TO EXPECT LONG TERMS Judge Dunne Says Twenty Years Will Be Minimum A stern warning to highway robbers was uttered by Judge Dunne yesterday, morning in sentencing to 10 years' im prisonment Earl Fitzgerald, who robbed a car conductor of $4.90. "This is the last 10 year sentence that will be imposed in this court in a highway robbery case," said . Judge Dunne. "Such crimes will in the future be punished by imprisonment of from 20 years to lire. The court wants it ab solutely understood that 20 years will be the minimum sentence. So far as this court has the power highway rob bery will be stamped out in San Fran cisco." - Fitzgerald, who is -18 years old, pleaded guilty. His offense was ag gravated by the fact that after he robbed the conductor and was running away he fired several shots at the po liceman who was chasing him. He held up a Clement street car at 6:15 on the morning of November 3. 1908..- Fitzgerald's mother was in court when he was sentenced. She screamed and fainted, and was assisted from, the court by the bailiff.

MERCHANTS AND AUTO MEN FAVOR NEW LAW Meet to Discuss Traffic Ordi- nance With Chief of Police Deputations from the automobile owners' association and from mer chants waited upon Chief Cook yester day afternoon to discuss with him the provisions of the new traffic ordinance which comes Into effect February -4. Captains Duke and Colby,* in . command of the congested district, were also present. * . It was generally agreed that the pro visions of the ordinance were good and a promise was made to assist in seeing that they were enforced. .All vehicles must keep to the right and when turn ing into a cross street they must make a sweep, keeping to the right all the time instead of cutting a corner sharp, thereby endangering the lives of pe destrians. Several mounted policemen, who are assigned to look after the speeding of automobiles, were instructed, by Chief Cook as to the provisions' of the ordi nance. Gaa Uaera! Gn IJaers!

Pax-, ton, the wealthy broker,, and ' his. wife, which reached the knowledge of the public a few weeks ago when - the estranged couple were seen dining at : separate tables in the St. Francis ho tel, culminated yesterday when Judge- Graham granted a decree of divorce to Mrs.Paxton. Alimony was allowed the handsome young: woman in the sum of K£ \u2666£ mo " th /°r' the next six months and thereafter $200 a' month during the «E-n er natural "life -of; until she shall remarry. This property arrange ment was decided -upon by; stipulation out of court. . / . made no attempt to contest the suit or defend himself against his wife s charges of cruelty other than the filing of a detailed denial of her allegations. He .was represented in court during the trial by Attorney WiU liam G. Cousins, but the lawyer asked no questions of the witnesses A courtroom packed toi the: doors heard Mrs. Paxton tell her story of Ill treatment and abuse. She .went through the ordeal without flinching, testifying in a low but clear voice. Mrs. Paxton was attractively gowned and wore a fur hat. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert, Darneal of Oakland, were the corroborating witnesses. ."After the insults he has heaped upon her it would.be an utter impossibility fort them to. live together," said Mrs. Darneal in reply to a question by Judge Graham looking toward a reconcilia tion. Airs. Darneal testified that a servant of Mrs. . Paxton's had told her she" could riot live' with the family any longer on! account of the oaths used by Paxton. Darneal told of visiting, the home of the Paxtons in Union, street and finding 'Paxton walking about ex citedly, swearing . emphatically and stating that.he .was.done with his wife for' good. The -testimony of Mrs. Paxton, given in' reply to questions from Attorney Samuel Shortrldge, .was along the lines of. her complaint, already, published. Her married life was a continual suc cession of "scenes," as sheexpressed it. She said her. husband lost his temper for unaccountable reasons and acted like a crazy man, cursing her, threat ening her life and. applying unmention able epithets-to her.. One of these out bursts was occasioned, by her refusal to MANY ROBBERIES IN CITY DURING NIGHT Holdup Reported on the Water Front in Early Morning \s Doubted by Police A Among the: crimes reported at police headquarters yesterday were the fol lowing: E.

Be up-to-date and try tHe newjway of washing." Have you ever seen a stick of dyna- /rriite? 1 You wonder how so much explosive force can be stored in so small a space. Not less marvelous is the great cleans- ing power stored in a. cake of •Fels-Naptha * i • i ii i i soap. An electnc spark explodes the dyna- mite. To make Fels-Naptha do its marvel- pus work you need only have cold or lukewarm water and some soiled clothes. Fels-Naptha is made to dissolve dirt. Fels-Naptha separates it into atoms and they are carried away in the rinsing water. And it does this in cold or lukewarm water, without boiling or hard rubbing. Follow the simple directions on the red and green wrapper, and Fels-Naptha will do your washing better than *it was ever o^one in my other way. 7llfi fiflfl I mTDQ I uu.uUU Ltl stno * \u25a0 C 9.
