MARRIED A CHILD.
An Odd Case of Parental
Turpitude.
Strapping Frank Morse Elopes With
Little Thirteen-Year-O Lulu
Marquette, Both of Baden.

A remarkable case Of parental unwisdom
in connection with child marriage is fur
nishing fruitful topic for discussion in
the little town Of Baden, where the Ar
mours and Nelson Morris have established
their big stockyards.
Among the pioneer settlers on that South
San Francisco tract were Jacques Mar
auette, his wife and their child Lulu. The
MarQuettes started a laundry about two
years ago and have been noted for their
industry. Lulu, who was then II years
old, was allowed to run wild. She did not
attend school and has never learned to read
or write. She is particularly lacking in
useful knowledge and it has been matter
OF local record that she is unable 10 read
the time by the clock.
About six months ago Frank Morse came
to Baden to work in the packing. house.
He boarded with the Marquettes and was
soon on very friendly terms with the fam
lily. 1t was noticed that he seemed to
fancy Lulu, but the latter's age and ap-
pearance seemed to preclude any posi-
blity of romance. She is now 13 years
of age but small for her age. She is eX-
ceedingly childish in looks and manners
and weighs but sixty-five pounds. Morse is
a strapping six-footer, weighing 1S0 and ac-
knowledging 80 years.
According to the statement of jacques,
Lulu and Morse were absent together at
night on several occasions, until finally the
latter called the young man to account
Then Frank made the astounding PROPOSE
ton 10 marry little bareiooted Lulu.
Jacques objected in the strongest terms.
but the idea seems to have been less dis
pleasing to Mrs. Marquette. Last Friday
the mother, Lulu and Morse disappeared
from Baden, and it was afterward learned
that they had taken the train for this
city.
Jacques traced them from one place to
another and finally discovered that a
marriage license had been issued for
Frank and Lulu on application of the
mother, Mrs. Marquette stating that the
girl was 18 years OF age. Then Jacques
became very wroth. He returned to
Baden and procured warrants for the
arrest of all three fugitives. The war
rants were placed in the hands of South
San Francisco constable a1d that func-
| tionary consulted the city police about the
matter. asking for assistance ia locating
the missing trio.
On Saturday Mrs. Marquette returned to
Baden, was placed under arrest and locked
up 10 the village calaboose on charge of
perjury. She freely admitted to her part
in procuring the warrant and stated that
Frank and Lulu had been married on
board tugboat. She said she did not

TO have her husband, DIR. George Is. Keane,

The case is peculiar one. and Is excit-

especially as Mrs. Keane has herself been
an Inmate OF A private asylum for luna

with some religious mania, and one day
declaring that her hand had offended one

The Refined Oil Octopus
Exists in Fact.
While the Trust Is Dissolved the
Management Remains in the
Hands of the Factors.

1.-THE dissolution of the Standard Oil
trust will have no effect upon the prices
of its commodity in San Francisco or else
where" said Manager Miller of the
Standard Oil COMPANY yesterday after
noon. ''The dissolution is a matter of
mere formality, and really has no bearing
upon the market. The action was taken
in response to the decision of an Ohio
court. which declared the trust to be
illegal, as it held that one company could
not hold stock in another company or cor
poration. The only effect this of decision

itice of the fact of the dissolution, and my
only information upon the subject has
been obtained from the columns OF The
CALL, If the matter portended radi cal
change or anticipated war of competition
l would certainly know something about it.
You can rest assured that the San Fran
cisco oil market will not be affected In
consequence of the dissolution of the
trust"
W. Frank Whittier of Whittier, Fuller
q Co., the leading paint and oil dealers,
knew nothing of the matter beyond what
was contained in THE CALLS geographic
reports. and said that none of the prices Of
the Standard OIL output had been affected.
| The purD0rt of the matter is that the great
Standard Oil trust has been dissolved, and
that the companies to the compact will
hereafter act independently in the disposal
of goods. The supremacy Of the Standard
is a matter of acknowledged Importance,
and defeat and failure have been the fate
of every refinery that eSsayed business and
refused to sell out when the Standard
people concluded that the opposition had
emerged from the chrysalis. 1t is useless
10 expect competition in the sale of re-
fined oil or any of the many commodities
drugs. dyes and Observation-Disclosures from
the residue of crude petroleum.
George Rice, a persistent and tireleSs op-
ponent of the Standard, was present at the
dissolution of the trust in New York on
Wednesday. He asked numerous search
iLg questions and presented a resolution
calling for an accounting of the trusts
stewardship. The telegraphic accounts

leave it TO be inferred that the inquiries
! will never receive attention or be sub
jected to the light of Investigation. The
total value of the trusts issue was $685.
500 600, and of this 81 per cent, oil $50. 210,-
900, was handed in at the first meeting.
IL fact the affairs of the Standard Oil
Company are as mnch in the hFnds Of a
trust as ever, because they have not been
removed from he hands of the twenty
companies which composed the trust. As
long as this condition remains it follows
that prices, profits and management will
remain the same as when the aggregate
business was operated by a board of
trustees.
