CAPEL'S COLONY SCHEME,
The Monsignor Will Bring Out
a New Community From
Europe.
He VIII Attempt to Settle Man,
Families In the Sacramento
Valley.

Monsignor Capel has devised a scheme
to bring large population to the valley
of the Sacramento, believing that the
prosperity of this State depends upon
dividing those big ranches and making
twenty homes where only one existed be-
fore. He has an ideal community in view,
a community where each industrious fam
lily will have house and farm, and the
harvest will yield an independence to all.
He has devoted himself to completing
his plans for this enterprise.
The big ranch of Count Valensin at
Arno is to be cut up into tracts of from
eighty to 100 acres and an active and in
dustrious class OF farmers brought here
from Europe.
On one part of the land space will be
set aside for an agricultural college. This
institution will be the Monsignor's especial
care. 1t is his earnest purpose to educate
those people in California agriculture, of
which he has made close study durin o
his residence in this State.
1t may be necessary to carry these set
tiers for the first year before they begin to
get return for their crops, but that very
important point the Monsignor hopes to
provide for. With all his irrepressible
energy he is perfecting the details of this
important undertaking.
He is in constant correspondence with
agents abroad, who keep him informed on
the possibility of obtaining persons of
worth and steadiness to emigrate to this
fertile valley and make their homes there.
Should he succeed in all particulars, Mon
signor Capel's plan may be the forerunner
of many others of equal practicability and
sagaclty,

On Thanksgiving day, 1898, he went to
theater with his wife and mother-in-law on
invitation of friends and shamed them by
shouting out to the actors and interfering
with other patrons until the party was
compelled to leave. On the way home he
threatened to throw himself into the bay.

morning.
On that morning Mrs. Potts, worn out,
gave notice that she would leave her err
ratio spouse, whereupon she discovered
that he had taken away all her wedding
presents. Although he had only contrib
uted SIS during their dramatic married life
he refused to give back the presents. He
said he was glad his wife was going.
Noble Potts, according to his wife, is in
the receipt of good salary and has con-
siderable money, and property to an I'M
known amount. The plaintiff will resume
her maiden name of Holland.

Noble Potts Cruelty Gave His Wife a

Judge Hebbard yesterday granted FL
frieda Clara Potts divorce from Noble
Foss Potts on the ground of extreme
cruelty.
According to her statement the parties
were married at Oakland, November, 1893,
and have no children. Since her marriage
she says that her husband treated her in
such an inhuman manner that it would be
dangerous to her life to live with him.
On one occasion, only two days after the
marriage, the bridegroom threatened to
commit suicide with razor, opening the
blade and walking up and down the room,
until after hours of entreaty he desisted
from his purpose. His wife says she was
not the cause of the outbreak. Three days

MRS,MOLLE'ST TREATMENT
Her Condition as an Insane
Patient at the Receiving
Hospital.
DR.. Somers Says There Should Be a
Separate Institution for Their
Reception.

Judge Hebbard criticized the authorities
at the Receiving Hospital,
Mrs. Catherine E. Molle, wife of Jacob S.
Molle, 785 Haight street, was a sufferer
from puerperal insanity. She was taken
before the Insanity Commissioners, but il
was deemed advisable not to send her to
an insane asylum, and she was accordingly
sent home.
1t was expected that after the birth Of
her child she would recover her reason.
The child was born about week ago, but
instead of improving she became worse,
and on Monday afternoon she was taken to
the Receiving Hospital. On Tuesday she
was taken before the Insanity Commits
sioners, but Judge Hebbard, thinking that
if she was kept in the hospital for some
days and received proper attention she
might get better, continued her case.
Yesterday Judge Hebbard visited the
hospital and found the woman in the
padded cell. He said he did not think she
was properly cared for.
DR.. Somers was notified of the Judges
remarks, and said: II have repeatedly
drawn attention to the fact that there is no
accom- mediation in the hospital for insane
patients, particularly women. About six
months ago wrote to the Board of Heath
to that effect, and stated emphatically that
surgical cases and insanity cases should
not be in the same institution.
sit is not desirable on sanitary grounds,
AS a rule insane patients are filthy, and
the air is polluted in consequence. Be-
sides, they are noisy and disturb the need
ed rest of other patients. The time will
soon come when the City will be forced to
have separate hospital for the reception
of persons awaiting their examination be-
fore the Insanity Commissioners.
MRS. Molle was placed in the women IS
ward when brought to the hospital on
Monday. There were five women patients
in the ward, and she became SO violent
and screamed so loudly that she had to be
put in padded cell. A double blanket
was rolled round her. and as she kept tear
ing her clothes off her, her hands and feet
were strapped. When Judge Hebbard en-
tered her cell this morning he found that
in her struggles she had turned over on
her face and the bedclothes were disar-
ranged, which angered him. Her cell was
perfectly clean.
"We have done everything possible to
get more accommodations, and as we can
not, we can only ask, What are they going
to do about iu?"

MONEY FOR TELEPHONES.
The State Board of Examiners Could
Not Allow 1t for the Railroad
Commission.

The Railroad Commissioners met yester-
day and found themselves in quandary
over report from the State Board of Ex-
aminers.
communication was read from that
body announcing that bills for March and
April contracted by the commission had
been approved excepting the charges for
telephone. Although telephones had been
ordered removed from offices of State COM
missions the bill in this instance was
merely held over without prejudice
The secretary was instructed to ask per-
mission for the commission to keep its tel
ephone.
Various offers for rooms were received, as
1T was known that the commission was cut
down to $50 month for rent and has been
hunting new Offices The commission,
however, determined to remain where it
is for the present.
Tie question arose whether the Railroad
Commission has jurisdiction over electric
or motor lines extending beyond corporate
limits. In looking over the ground it was
thought that the Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena road which carries passengers and
freight. the Oakland and Haywards line
and the San Francisco and San Mateo
road may be under the Commissioners
control. The Attorney-Generalw was asked
for his opinion on the subject.
Blank reports for the fiscal year ending
June 30. to be filled in by the transporta-
ton companies of California, were ordered
sent out with instructions that they be re-
turned not later than August 81.

starting this investigation Mr. Fitzgerald s
object was to take steps toward filling the

At THE LOCAL THEATERS,
Success of Moths" at the
Columbia - MoroSco'S
Artistic Sewer.
Amann's Impersonation of Mayor
Sutro-Benefits for the Colima
Victims.

"Moths" has proved a greater success
than anything yet produced by the Fraw-
ley company at the Columbia Theater.
One reason for this is undoubtedly the
charming personality with which Miss Mar
garet Craven invests the part of Vera. Her
acting is telling, and at times intense,
without ever losing its sincerity or verging
on the melodramatic.
A touch more of the melodramatic might
not be disadvantage to Miss Archer's rend-
eriug of the Duchess de Lounaze for she plays
the part so sweetly and suavely that it is hard
to believe her female Iago. Miss Bates is de-
nghtfully breezy as the American heiress, and
the rest of the cast is we'll chosen.

THE BREAK IN THE 500 LOCKS

Not So Serious as Thought to be, and Can
he Easily Repaired-The Canadians
Taking - L. ssOn.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Sept. ia
The break which occurred in the
inter sill under the upper guard jambs
of the lock last Friday, while the
gates were being tested, is apparently
not as serious as at first supposed. 1t
can be quite easily repaired. as the
masonry did not shift any. The fill
ing valves, which are laid on the top
sill, will not have to be taken out to
allow of boiling the masonry to-
gether, and the work can be done
without the lncurrence of very great
expense
That the bolts were not placed there
as was done in the lock now In use
was an error of judgment and it was
lucky circumstance that the break be-
came apparent while the test was be-
ing made, otherwise untold damage
might have resulted. The other stills
will be bolted. Uneasiness is mani
tested by the officials of the Canada
lock since the accident. as the stills
there were not bolted and it is likely
that this will be done at the earliest
moment in order to avoid similar
break on that side.
