SCENE IN COURT.
A Woman Calls Another Liar While
Testifying Before Judge
Conlan.

Mrs. Ida Seldte of 1925 Hayes street
created considerable excitement in Judge
Conlan's court yesterday morning by CIV
ing the lie to witness who was testifying
as to her reputation.
Mrs. Seldte had two young men, Alfred
Cappole and Charles Walker, arrested
about three weeks ago for burglary.
Mrs. Seldte, while she went under the
name of Mrs. Jones, lived with the defend
ant Cappole's mother at 500 Howard street,
and the arrest of young Cappole has led to
a feeling of bitterness between the two
women.
The prosecution closed its case Yesterday
morning, and Mrs. Cappole was put on the
stand for the defense. She testified that
Mrs. Seldte was a bad woman and dealt in
stolen goods. "She is now wearing cape
that was stolen," continued the witness.
Mrs. Seldte Jumped to her feet and
screamed out: YOU'RE a liar. You're a
miserable lying wretch" With clenched
fists and flashing eyes she made rush for
Mrs. Cappole and was about to strike her
when Policeman Bean seized hold of her,
and Judge Conlan ordered him to take her
out OF the courtroom. She went into the
room where the witnesses were waiting to
be called, and few minutes later Young
woman rushed into the courtroom and
asked the Judge for protection as Mrs.
Seldte was grossly insulting her. Mrs.
Seldte was taken into court and lectured
by the Judge. Then she took her de-
parture

THE CHUMRUNS At WORK,
AN EFFORT TO GIVE WORKING
WOMEN A TOUCH OF
SOCIAL LIFE.
EVERYTHING ELEvATING WILL BE
PROVIDED TO HELP MAKE
LIFE PLEASANT.
OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN Francisco CALL, |
9OS Broadway, October %.

The first regular meeting of the Chum-
run Club was held tonight at the home
of Mrs. S. B. Cheek 672 Eighteenth street.
The club was organized two weeks ago by
Mrs Cheek the widow of the late DR..
Marion Cheek, who was one of the chief
councillors of state in Siam. The club is
organized entirely for the working women
of Oakland.
The obiece of the Chulnrun Club are to
elevate its members. to give them enter
tainment and to bring them in touch with
society. The somewhat peculiar name of
the club is sufficiently explained when it's
meaning is understood. 1t is a Siamese,
word which means prosperity. Mrs. S. Z.
Darlington of this city is assisting Mrs.
Cheek in arranging various entertain
ments and lectures. Miss Horton, a we'll
known educator of this city, will also take
an active part in its management. Mrs.
Darlington was a resident of Siam for
many years, and that interesting country
will supply many subjects for her lectures.
Invitations have been extended to all
the young working women in Oakland and
as there is no expense whatever attached
to membership the club should prove a
big success. Mrs. Cheek ana her friends
and colleagues defray all expenses. 1t is
desired to secure as members working
women under 40 years of age, who are
dependent upon themselves. ms is the
first organization of the kind that has ever
been formed in this city. and to-night's
meeting proved that it will be popular.
II believe this organization will do a
great deal of good" said Mrs. Cheek to-
day ~ will throw open my home for the
benefit of the young women twice
every month. We desire to have
enrolled every young workingwoman in
Oakland. We viii give them little touch
Of home life, such as many of them have
not seen in years. We desire especially to
have enrolled in the club the young women
who are in our stores and who are COM
PEELED to toll from morning until night.
These are the ones who have little pleasure
in life and have small chance to elevate
themselves. We will endeavor to give
them little literature and art, a little
hygiene and similar subjects, that they
may become better women. No other in
vitation is needed than that any young
woman shall have desire to join the club,
and the more that come the better pleased
we shall be-"

concluded to have battle. They ranged
themselves behind McCartneys dyke and
opened fire. Bridge-tender Ralph Hamlin
put stop to hostilities, but not before one

after they left the island, but the bridge

who most desired it. Since then, how
ever, the Christian Endeavor work in this

pervaded by an aggressive spirit. Aided
by the large number of Seventh-day Adj

The California Protective Association
has already organized a quiet movement
to Offset the work of the local option fac

pronounced utterances of their opinion re-
garding those who would drive them out
OF the business. They assert that large
portion of the city's revenue is derived
from their licenses and that it would be
bad policy to force the question to an
issue.
At next Thursdays meeting an agrees
i've plan of campaign will be outlined. As
both sides are showing a determined front
the conflict is being watched with great
interest.

Exciting Night Raid on a DisreputabIe
Chinese House.
Yoke Wing and mi Fung, two Chinese
girls, aged Is and IA years respectively,
were taken from disreputable house on
Baker and Sullivan alleys Monday night
by Mrs. Ida Hull, matron of the Methodist
Episcopal Home, Officer Holbrook of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children and a squad of police.
A quiet raid was made on the house and
one of the girls was found outside and
easily captured. The other, InI Flung, was
inside and some strategy was necessary to
gain an entrance. When the rescuers
finally got the door open the girl fought
savagely and tried to escape. The pro-
prietor of the house locked the party in
and they had some difficulty in opening
the door, finding a sullen mob OF Chinese
outside when they finally succeeded.
A display of revolvers was necessary to
prevent the angry Chinese from attempt
ing to liberate the girl but both slaves
were finally safely landed in the mission,
and Secretary McComb of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children ap-
piled for the guardianship of the girls yes
terday.

notice of the meeting was given in all the

The Rev. William RAIDER, president of

Rev. DR.. Coyle will most probably be
elected to succeed Mr.. RAIDER, and as he is
an advanced prohibitionist there will be
nothing uncertain about the manner i'll
which he will conduct the affairs of the
council. The refusal of the saloon keepers
and liquor-dealers to make their own side
of the fight for Sunday closing has proved
that the methods advocated by the coun-
