EVENTS IN THE COUNTIES BORDERING ON THE BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO
MATRON DESERTED
BY HER AffINITY
Kentucky Grandmother Bereft
of Money by Lover of
Half Her Years .
OAKLAND. "March 16. — It cost Mrs.'
Fasnie L- Moore, a Kentucky grand
mother of 4 S. years. $2,000 to l*arn that
Fred VT. Walker, her young lover, for
whom she deserted her husbana and her
children, cared more for her money and
for a stately blonde woman than he
did for her affections. The elderly
woman has been deserted in Oakland.
bereft of most of her small fortune and
abandoned without a friend to whom
to turn. She has confided her misfor
tunes to the police and has asked that
her wooer be arrested and her monyr
recovered.
The Kentucky matron's romance is a
checkered tale of broken marriage
vows. For the sake of Fred Walker,
whose years are 24. Mrs. Moore left
her pr&epcrous husband's hearth and
accepted a settlement of $2,500 in lieu
«f whatever property she might have
held had the remained in her own
household. Walker also broke up a
horce, leaving his young wife and his
two babies that he might travel west
ward with his expenses paid by his
motherly affinity.
MYSTERIOUS BLONDC SIBEX
Even while he and Mrs. Moore were
traveling the young man prepared for
the desertion which was to be the de
nouement of their affair. From St.
Louis to Los Angeles he paid courtship
in Pullman cars to the blonde woman.
who was a stranger to the confiding
Mrc. Moore,- Occasionally the grand
mother atfced who the handsome rival
was, bet her lover only reaffirmed his
abiding affections for Mrs. Moore, and
evaded answering her direct queries.
The blonde woman has not been seen in
Oakland, but Walker has left this city,
and Mrs. Moore believes he has gone to
rejoin the siren.
These facts of domestic tragedy came
this morning to Captain of Police
Lynch from the trembling lipE of Mrs.
Moore. The disappointed matron is
Jiving at the Pleasanton house. Four
teenth and Washington streets, waiting
for tidings from Walker or for word
from her own deserted husband.. She
is defraying her expenses with 5400
which Walker left with her. If her
husband does not consent to receive her
again when that money is spent she
will be helpless and penniless in a
strange city.
As the tale was told to Captain
Lynch. Mr*. Moore is the wife of a
farmer and stock raiser living near
Adairvllle. Ky. She has five children,
the youngest 13 .years of age and the
eldest 2S. Her senior eon has a child
of his own.
VICTIM TO HIS WILES
The woman was contented with her
lot until she met young Walker. He
came to Adalrvllle a short time ago,
bringing his wife and their two chil
dren. 4 months and 4 years of age.^ He
got work with Moore, the stock raiser,
and thus became Intimately acquainted
with his employer's wife. The intimacy
ripened to more than friendship on the
part of the woman, though her years
were twice as many as the wooer's.
In consequence of Mrs. Moore's heart
affairs she and her husband fell out.
They agreed to separate and Moore
gave his wife $2,500 for her mainte
nance. Mrs. Moore turned $500 of this
money over to Walker, who secretly de
serted his family, as Mrs. Moore al
leges, and Joined her at Rushville, Ky.
From' there the ill mated couple went
to Guthrie, In the same state, and iater
to St. Louis. Mo. • After a few days
they took a train for Los Angeles, and
on the train Walker was joined by the
blonde woman.
At Los Angeles the fair haired
charmer left her traveling friend, and
"Walker brought Mrs. Moore to Oak
land, still living on her money. He
rented rooms at Seventh and Center
streets last Sunday.
To that place Walker had Mrs. Moore's
trunk hauled. His own suitcases did
not come, but his excuses were accepted
by Mrs. Moore until Monday. That
day Walker asked for $1,100, which he
said he would deposit in a bank for
safe keeping.
-You keep the $400," he told Mrs.
Moore, "and if we decide to rent a house
or to buy a little ranch in the country
it will pay expenses."
With that he left the Center street
rooms, supposedly on his way to the
bank. He has not returned.

PLAN ORGANIZATION
Of AERO SOCIETY
Students of University Will Hold
Meeting to Form Club to
Promote Aeronautics
BERKELEY. March 16. — Definite
steps Tvere taken today for the forma
tion of an aeroplane society of stu
dents for the purpose of holding in
tercollegiate and interclass aero races
by Jose Hidalgo, instructor in Spanish
of the faculty and a member of the
Pacific aero club, when he called a
meeting for organization to be'-held in
California hall at 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. The request for the call for
the meeting came, from a number of
students who are interested in aero
nautics.
Since the short trial flights made a
year ago by R. - Smith, a student in the
college of mechanics from Los Angeles,
In a glider — an aeroplane without an
engine — there has been more or les # s
falk on the campus about the formation
of an aeroplane club. "
Smith was enthusiastic over the pos
sibilities of aeroplaning and attempted
to organize a club for the purpose of
holding class and intercollegiate races.
The time was not ripe, however, and
his efforts were without results. '
Since then, however, a : number of
students have become deeply interested
In the problem of aerial navigation,
and many have done experimental work
along those lines.
• r rhe receipt of a letter from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania a few days
ago asking that the University of Cali
fornia join with .Pennsylvania, Cornell
and Columbia 'in forming an intercol
legiate society for the promotion of
the sport by the holding of contests,
has aroused the greatest .interest In
the student body. "
While if is not likely that the uni
versity will send a representative/ to
the meeting, which will be held during
the first week in April at Philadelphia,
efforts will be made to Induce Stanford
to form an aeronautic society to hold
contests with the university.
Jose Hidalgo, a member of the fac
ulty, who is a director in the Pacific
aero club, is enthusiastic over the
prospects of a student society for the
promotion of aeronautics, and 'says
that races of various kinds will, be
arranged as soon as possible, as well
as the building of aeroplanes designed
by the amateurs. , . •

QUAY WALL PLANS
NEARLY COMPLETE
Colonel Heuer Will Be Consult
ing Engineer in Drawing
Final Specifications
OAKLAND, March 16.— Definite plans
for the quay wall which the city will
construct In • the estuary between
Broadway and Myrtle street at a cost
of $767,000 will be completed by City
Engineer^ Turner within about four
days. When the drawings and specifi
cations have been" finished by the city
engineers they will be referred to
Colonel '-W. H. Heuer, . United States
army engineer, who has been retained
as consulting engineer by the board
of public works. T.
The plans being prepared are for a
quay dock of concrete, extending in a
solid wall from Broadway to Myrtle
street, a distance, of nine blocks, de
signed on. the most modern engineer
ing principles. The methods used in
planning permanent wharves at Boston,
Baltimore, New York and other sea
ports have been studied by .Assistant
City Engineer R. F. Brown., who was
detailed to work in harbor matters.
METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION .
With Colonel Heuer's consultation
the engineers will decide shortly the
main point as to * ttie quay wall con
struction. This is whether the dock
will be of solid or of reinforced, con
crete. If of solid concrete, the quay
wall will rest 41 feet below the sur
face of the shore line,, where hard pan
capable of resisting any pressure has
been found. The wall will be 22 feet
thick at its base, and will be, narrowed
to five feet at the surface of. the earth.
If built of reinforced concrete the wall
will not be so thick at its base, but
will be five, feet across at its apex.
The essential difference is* one of cost,
and the engineers are now computing
their estimates of the two modes of
construction. • '
The city engineer's tests of the strata
at the shore line has shown hard pan
about 16 feet under the surface mud.
Below this Is a hard clay,' on which
the, concrete structure will be rested.
Tests of the hard pan show that six
tons pressure on two square feet for
two weeks caused no sinking whatever.
Further tests^ will be made at once./
FIRST PERMaSe.NT DOCK
The quay wall will be the first per
manent dock in the estuary, and will
be so constructed that it can be greatly
increased in wharfage space at the
least cost. When the straight wall is
completed .It will accommodate five
vessels of the largest size. As the de
mands for space increase piers will be
extended diagonally into the estuary
600 feet out. They will be 125 feet
wide, with 200 feet space between each
pier. When the whole system is even
tually finished the docks between
Broadway and Myrtle street will have
five or six times the wharfing space
of the quay wall,: which is to be first
built.'
Plans for the wharf at the foot of
Livingston street. East, 1 Oakland, are
being prepared, and will be ready for
consultation .with Heuer soon. ' This
wharf will cost $175,000. Turner and
his assistants, have .begun preliminary
work at preparing -the plans for the
western water front improvement,
which will cost $530,000. -v .

WANTED: SPOOKS
WITH ROMAN NOSES
Ghosts With Aquiline "Beaks"
Sought Among Students of
the State University - v
'BERKELEY. March. 16.— Garnet
Holme, university- dramatic coach.* is
looking for four students with true
Roman noses to take the part of ghosts
in "Nero," which will be staged, in the
Greek theater, by the English club
April 22. The Imen must be slight of
figure and. able, to -act the part of
spooks. with qleverness and ease. 'Stu
dents with previous experience will be
given the preference In the matter of
selection.
The spooks who would take part in
the play must.be able to portray ghosts
of the great Julius Caesar, Augustus.
Tiberius and Claudius and by their
actions must produce a wholesome fear
in. the fiddling Nero to remind him of
his many; misdeeds.
\ Holme declares that he. has seen so
many students with Roman noses that
each Mnan who thinks he can, qualify
for the part of Caesar's . ghost ; must
secure ' an ' 6ld Roman coin bearing
Caesar's head/ and by means of a
mirror compare his profile with that of
the great leader of the'empire. .
If- he bears, a close resemblance
Holme guarantees that he will- be
given a chance to make good in the
caste of the big play. ' : • -
According to Holme many have been
called, but few have been chosen, but
he has not given up hope and believes
that he ,can . secure likenesses of tho
Roman leaders from among the atu
dents without resort to outside talent.

MEDLEY OF FUN AT
THE ORPHEUM
"Virginia Judge" and "Cheer Up
Girl" Big Favorites With
the Audiences
OAKLAND.- March 16. — This* week's
bill at tho Orpheum is a medley of
pretty gi^ls," smart dances, astonishing
acrobatic feats, strong sketches, negro
humor in the form of stories told by a
master entertainer, 'The Virginia
Judge." a bit of singing and ventrilo
quism by the "cheer up girl" and a
novelty in the whip cracking exhibi
tion given by the Australian bushmen.
At the head of the bill appear the
names of Clara Belle Jerome and her
eight dancing Toodles, and "William
Seymour. They contribute 20 minutes
of very entertaining comedy.
In 'The Boy Next Door" Felix and
Barry, assisted by Miss Barry's two
sisters, provoke a storm of fun of the
unroarious kind. A " team of very
clever roller skaters. Earl Reynolds
and Nellie Donegan, present a novel
act which was a decided hit in New
York. London and Paris.
Although she has been in town but
three days Winona Winter, the "cheer
up girl," has caught on tremendously.
Walter C. Kelly as the Virginia judge
has a lot of witty stories, which he
tells in his inimitable way.
Fred Linday, the Australian bush
man, and his company in their whip
cracking exploits are a big feature-
Charles Bowser and Edith Hlnkle in
a unique sketch called "Superstition"
score a decided hit.
The Reed brothers, comedy acrobats,
who deserve a double title, open the
show.
One of the prettiest pictures " the
Orpheum has ever shown is "The Veil
of Aude" in France, a specimen of art
that is not likely to be equaled soor..
The star of next week's bill wll> be
Ida Fuller, "La Sorciere,"- who will dis
play her renowned talent in this city.
