from Oberlin, Ohio. He exhibited great
reluctance to speak OF the matter, but
little by little it has been learned that the
ambitious young attorney is deeply in love
with Miss Coyle, and the young lady is at
present finishing her education at Oberlin.
Two years ago the acquaintanceship be-
tween Sherman and DR.. Coyle's daughter
is said to have commenced, and it gave
indications of becoming of deeper nature
than the young lady father approved. A
little later Miss Coyle went to school at
Oberlin and has not yet returned home,
and much comment has been made upon
her continued absence. DIR. Coyle is op-
posed to any communication between the
young folks that might possibly end in an
engagement, and it is said that it was for
the purpose of separating them that Miss
Coyle was sent East.
The matter has been kept secret until
quite recently, but at a recent gathering at
the Young Mems Christian Association
Sherman told his story to little circle of
friends.
The trouble with the County Endeavor
Union in which Dr. Coyle and E. A. Sher-
man have been represented as contradict
ing each others statements is stated by
Sherman's friends to be the direct result Of
this little love affair. Miss Coyle is now 20
years of age and Mr.. Sherman is ABOUT five
years her senior. An intimate friend of
both professed to be unaware of any reason
why DR.. Coyle should be opposed to what
might ultimately prove love match. The
statements made by Sherman have added
much interest to the present breach among
the Endeavorers. He declares he has suffi-
Gent support to carry his point even
though all the ministers should be allied
against him.
DR.. Coyle's friends assert that the pas tor
is actuated by only the best motives and
deny that he has allowed any purely per-
sonal affairs to influence his Judgment so
far as regards the best interests of the
County Union.
A year ago Sherman was credited with
having divided the County Union on a
matter of politics; now he says it is divided
because of his love affairs, and altogether
E. A. Sherman Jr. is a very interesting
young man to Christian Endeavorers in
this county.

SINGLE-TAX DEBATE.
Congressman Mcguire and Marcus Ros-
enthaI to Discuss the Doctrine
of Henry George

There is to be a debate between Congress
man Mcguire and Attorney Marcus Rosen-
thai on the single-tax theory on Monday
evening for the benefit of the Women's
Educational and Industrial Union at
Van Ness avenue.
Speaking of the object of the debate,
Nine. l.. A. Sorbier, the president OF the
union, said yesterday:
The idea of having a benefit debate is to
bring needed assistance to our institution,
winch has been doing good work in this COM
munlty, IN which are so many women who
nave been raised without the knowledge of
any kind OF occupation. These women find
themselves very helpless when they meet with
reVerses, so the aim OF our union is to teach
some practical line of usefulness and fit de-
serving young ladies for positions of self-help.
The people OF this community are disposed
10 take very kindly to such institutions, and,
as they are liberal on questions OF social and
political economy, Ifee1 conf dent that Messrs.
Mcguire and Rosenthal will have a good
audience.
The other officers of the union are:
Mrs. ]. R. Deane, Mrs. Paris Kilburn and
Mrs. Nellie B. Eyster, e-presidents
Mrs. Z. ?. Keeney, Mrs. II. Lewis, Mrs. P.
D. Hale and Mrs. c. F. Kapp, associate
directors; Mrs. l.. G. Fraser, treasurer;
Rev. Mrs. Lila Sprague, recording secre-
tary, and Miss NJ. B. Sorbier, correspond
ing secretary.

the habit of carrying gun and that Mrs.

any such weapon. His reason for not Civ

Not for several years after her going to
San Quentin did he learn that his evidence

COMPETITION IN THE WATER Sup
PLY HAS BEEN ADAM
DONED.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Oct. 24.-The report
OF the Commissioners for the opening and
extension Of Buena Vista avenue has been
flied by the City Clerk with the Street
superintendent. The improvement COM
mences at the westerly termination OF
Buena Vista avenue, near Seventh street.
Damages and benefits have been fixed on
the several properties and those inter
ested have thirty days in which to pay the
assessments after publication of the notice.
The assessments amount to $3.50 SO and
the value for damages to lands has been
placed at $8645 SS. The expense account
OF the Commissioners, including fees,
amounts to 1924 so. Charles s. Neal.
Thomas White and T. G. Daniels are the
Commissioners. The clerk has also filed
plat with the County Recorder.
Oakianders RetaIiate.
Liveryman J. r. Bigler, who was ar
rested in Oakland for an alleged violation
Of the license ordinance, has pleaded not
guilty and the case will come up for trial
next Monday. Mr.. Bigler is indignant
over his arrest, as it has been the custom
for long time to loan hacks to Oakland
liverymen, and he went over in response
to telephone message from Peter Pun
yea. Oakland license collectors have been
strictly enforcing the license ordinance of
late, out it is believed that the arrest OF
Alamedans is prompted more for retalia-
ton, as several Oaklanders have been ar
rested in this city for violation of the same
ordinance.
Water Competition Abandoned
The Dingee Water Companys piping,
which has been stored for seven months
on a vacant lot on the broad gauge depot.
is being hauled to the foot of Park street,
where it can be easily loaded upon vessels.
1t is stated that the company has aban-
doned the proposition to compete with the
artesian water works. 1t was contended at
the outset that the new company neve
had any serious intention OF coming to
Alameda. The price for water pipe has
advanced materially since being brought
to this city, and Street Superintendent
Frodden stated to-day that the pipe had
been sold at a large profit.
A Lack of Interest.
The prospects of Alameda securing the
Wilmerding School of Industrial Arts are
not very bright. Chairman Henry Seven
ing called meeting for last evening but a
quorum was not present. A number OF
the members of the finance committee
have not attended meeting since they
were appointed. The amount necessary
for the purchase of site is $4,000. Chair
man Sevening will decline to call another
meeting unless requested to do so by ma
jority of the committee.
A Bay Farm Island Road.
A road to San Leandro by way of Bay

tative citizens and realty owners A meet
ing was. held a few evenings ago at the Of
fee of Captain Judd, on Park street, and
Fritz Boehmer offered to head subscrip-
ton list with 5000 for the building of the
road. The projected road was agitated by
the Board of Trade two years ago, but
nothing ever came OF the matter.

Oakland Ladies Believe in a Convicted
Murderess' Innocence.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
908 Broadway, Oct a.
The ladies of the Cooperative Aid So
ciety and kindred organizations in this
city are working hard to obtain pardon
for Mrs. Mary Won, now serving life SEN
tence in San Quentin. They have pro-
cured an affidavit from man named John
Mccullough, made on his deathbed in the
City and County Hospital in San Fran
cisco, which places the woman's crime in
a very different light from that which it
bore at the trial.
Mrs. Won was tried for the murder of a
man named Bishop, whom she is said to
have shot in the cabin of the steamship
Alameda, about eight years ago. Accord
ing to the evidence, Bishop became ac-
quainted with the woman, who had a snug
sum of money, and induced her to establish
a lodging-hous in San Francisco. After
living with her for two years, Bishop sold
the furniture and with the money was
about to embark for Australia, when it is
alleged the murder was committed. He re-
ceived the fatal shot from his own pistol
and the woman was tried and convicted.
When on his deathbed Mccullough made
a statement declaring that after being

PECULIAR EVIDENCE OF A MANS
WIFE REGARDING A MILK
ROUTE TITLE.
RIDICULED JUDGE MURPHY
REEL TERRY Would RATHER Own
THE Press THAN THE BAR
OF OAKLAND.
OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO CALL,

sos Broadway, Oct "a.
A case of some interest and considerabl BILE
importance 10 those engaged in buying
and selling the goodwill of places of bust
ness is at present engaging the attention
of the Sunerior Court. The facts of the
case are these: Morris Cohen recently
bought a milk route from William P.
Stricken of Berkeley. In purchasing the
goodwill of Stricker's business it was ex-
presslv stipulated that Stricken should not
engage in a similar occupation in the town
OF Berkeley.
Within a month of the closing of the
deal Stricken was again doing business,
using the same plant, driving the same
old wagon of peculiar construction and
taking his milk from the same COWS.
Cohen brought suit for damages and an
injunction, whereupon Stricken set up a
very novel defense, the tenability of which
the court has now under advisement.
Stricken alleges that he is no longer in
business in Berkeley and that the plant
with which his business is being done is
the sole property Of his wife, although she
has made no application to become a sole
trader. Olive h. Stricken alleged that a
few years ago she loaned her husband
some money and that he has since repaid
her. With this money she bought chickens,
which proved such profitable investment
that she afterward purchased cows and
started a dairy. On this showing the de-
PENDANT asked the court TO declare that
Cohen is entitled to no damages and that
the injunction DE not issued.
Attorneys Waste and Stetson argued to
The court that as the same business is
being carried on by Stricken with the same
stock and the same plant and with merely
an alteration OF the initials on the wagon
he has clearly violated his contract. The
decision is being awaited with interest, as
several similar cases are dependent upon it.

He DECLARES THAT TO BE THE

OPPOSITION.
WHY MISS COYLE WENT EAST.
A NEW REASON FOR THE SPLIT IN
THE COUNTY CHRISTIAN
ENDEAvOR UNION.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, J
QOS Broadway Oct d

After several weeks of notoriety, the
Christian Endeavor Union of this county
has learned the true cause of the misun-
Outstanding between Rev. DR.. Coyle and E.
A. Sherman Jr., ex-president of the union.
1t has leaked out that the handsome
daughter of the Presbyterian pastor is the
innocent cause OF the trouble.
On several recent occasions at social
events and religious gatherings the matter
has been discussed, and some knowing
friends of Sherman have frequently used
the remark in jest that if he were not care
full they would "Coyle him up" So COM
mon has become this jest that Sherman
was taken to task regarding it, and he then
stated that on his last trip to the East this
summer he was warned to keep away
