this is 15; but I hurt my foot at San Jose,
and cannot dance well tonight"
The foot, as she exhibited it, seemed to
be all right, ana the mother said that it
had only been rubbed by her shoe.
The brides brother, Thomas Adds.
joined the party in the box, and in the
course of an interview said: 81 have been
on the stage with my sister about eight
weeks. Now, 1 want to tell you that Doug

She has girlish impulses and is ambitious,
but she has good influence on Doug

What are the best things she can do on
the stage-something that would take in
New York or London ?" was asked.
'She sings song, L Don't Want to Play

that would be an attraction in any city"
Lord Sholto Douglas, son of the Marquis
of Queensberry, first met his bride in Frank
Carson's resort at Bakersfield known as
the Biiou. This was in April last. He
had only seen her few times before he

and that she had told him he was not in
earnest and would regret the action.
He then explained to the San Francisco
reporters that he could not think of marry
ing against his parents will, because he
had no income of his own and must depend
upon them for all his resources. He added
that the good times he had enjoyed while in
California had all been leash on delivery"
and that 1t had cost him pretty penny.
he said he was still keeping up a CORE
spondence with Loretta, but that he had
assured her she could not become Lady
Sholto-not because he did not desire it
Che was frank enough to admit that he
did,, but because of the probable objection
OF his parents. He was very much put out
about the rotoriety he was gaining in the
newspapers, and conducted himself very
quietly while here to avoid more of it.
No long ago, however, his name was
again in the press, because of suit for
SIPS brought against him by the lawyers at
Bakersfield, who alleged that so much was
due them on his personal note for services
in releasing him from jail.
Lord Sholto replied that as there had
been no prosecution and that he had been
discharged without any effort or motion
on behalf of the lawyers, they had there
fore performed no services for him and he
owed them nothing.
1t was on April "a that Lord Sholto was
released from the Bakersfield jail. He
came north at once and registered at the
Lexington, in this City. May he was

AT this stage of the interview his bride
came over and taking seat beside him
said:
I'VE will be married again tomorrow. !"
"Oh, mol" replied Sholto.
"Oh, yes" she persisted. "We will be
married once more. You will consent Just
to please me.''
We'll, all right" replied his lordship,
VINO then took his departure for another
place in the audience.
You see, she said after he had gone,

FOR MURDER AND ARSON,
Charles Inman'S and w. w. de
Winton'S Cases Before
Judge Wallace.
The Former Given Life ImpriSon-
ment and the Latter to
Be Retired.

Charles Inman, convicted of numbering
his wife, Cora Inman, alias Rice, a dive
actress, was up before Judge Wallace yes
terday for sentence. When asked whether
he had anything to say before judgment
was pronounced he launched into glow
ing tribute to his attorney (Woodbury),
who, he declared, had defended him in a
manner that was beyond all praise. He
said that he had not committed the crime,
as far as he knew, but was willing to abide
by the decision of the court.
Judge Wallace referred to the recon.
mendation to mercy attached by the jury
to their verdict and complimented Attor.
ney Wo odbury on the defense he had made
in the case. AS the jury had fixed the
penalty at life Imprisonment it remained
for him to order the prisoner taken to the
State prison and there confined for the
term of his natural life.
Inman's defense was that he committed
the crime unconsciously while insane
through drinking cheap wine and mixed
liquors.
w. w. de Winton, who was convicted of
arson in burning his house on Dolores
street a few months ago, also appeared for
sentence. In his case motion for a new
trial was denied, but an arrest of judgment
was granted, the court stating that the
Noi1'AStAOh WOuio hOI o0aiOI DIS tucIS Was
no law prohibiting man from burning
his own house.
Judge Wallace soon dashed the prison
er's newly awakened hopes, however, by
ordering his commitment into the custody
of the Sheriff pending the filing gainst
him of new information charging him
with an attempt to commit arson for the
purpose OF obtaining insurance. Bail was
set at $1,000.
Several minor sentences followed. Ed
ward M. Jewett, convicted of forgery, was
awarded four years in the State prison !;
Samuel Phipps, guilty of assault, was
given three months in the County Jail, and
Gustave Seaman, convicted of burglary,
was ordered imprisoned in the penitentialy
for four years.

And throughout the interview she
showed the same remarkable indifference
to the fact that she had just become a
bride and the wife of Lord at that. She
seemed thoroughly rapt in her profession
and took more interest in discussing that
than her marriage, though she was not
averse to speaking on either subject
She stated that until Lord Douglas heard
from his family she would continue on the
stage, but would in any event fulfill her
present contract with the Leavitt Specially
Company, which requires that she snail
appear here next week, then two weeks at
Sacramento and two weeks also at San Jose.
Her specialties are singing and dancing.
She goes ON alone and also with a brother,
their forte lying in the rendering of duets.
His voice is tenor and hers a contralto
and she takes the greatest delight in the
applause called forth by her efforts.
In the course of further conversation she
stated that she came of age on the goth
inst. and was born in Oakland. The in
formation was also volunteered that until
Lord Douglas heard from.his father they
would not live together She would con-
tinue to stay with her mother and her hus-
band at the Pleasanton in this City, or
wherever he chose during their travels.
The hasty marriage, it was learned, had

proposed marriage. 1t is said she rejected
his suit at first, and also that her brother
disapproved of the match.
After some pressing of the point Lord
Sholto won the day and went out and Sc
cured the marriage license and wedding
ring. Officious friends of the young noble
man interfered, however, and in order to
prevent the marriage had Lord Sholto
locked up in Jail on charge of insanity.
There was no prosecution of the case. how
ever, and the would-be bridegroom was re-
leased, not only thankless for those who
had saved him from becoming benedict,
but vowlng vengeance upon them for
thwarting his purpose.
Then he came to San Francisco and was
interviewed here. At that time he said it
was not his intention to wed the pretty
variety singer, and that he had been
rather hazy from the effects of strong
drink when he proposed the marriage. He
said, however, that both Loretta and her
brother had opposed the match at first,
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-01

been strongly urged by the groom. His
tiancee had recently received love letter
from one OF the members of the English COL
the younger sons Of English and Irish
peers, and he did not propose to take any
chances of losing his bride-elect
But will not Lord Douglas be dlsin-
herited for marrying against his wishes Pr
she was asked.
"Why, no; there was never anything
said by his father to the effect that he
would disinherit him. That is mistake.
He simply wrote and asked Sholto to wait
We don't expect there will be any further
objection from his folks, now that we are
married"
Lord Sholto came into the stage box at
the auditorium shortly after $50 and
listened in bored manner to an interview
in progress, wherein his wife and mother
in-law were replying to questions pro-
pounded by newspaper men.
Lord Sholto is extremely shy OF news

THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
Consideration of the Old Con-
lin Claim Under New
Conditions.
The Mayors Suggestion on Behalf
of the Douglas School Play
ground ignored.

The finance committee of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday heard a long argu-
ment in behalf of the old claim of John
j. Conlin, ex-Justice Paterson represent
| ing the claimant. The claim has been
| pressed one way or another for years. At
| the last session of the Legislature a bill
| was passed directing the Auditor of the
City and County to audit this claim for
SCI, SIT, and Judge Paterson appeared to
ask the committee to make provision for
it in the next tax levy.
The committee referred the matter to the
City and County Attorney for an opinion
as to the City's liability under the new
law.
Mayor Sutro addressed communica-
ton to the committee regarding Douglas
School, the school that has no playground
and for which it was proposed to buy a lot
belonging to Mrs. Geary, adjoining the
school grounds, but because Mrs. Geary
charged an exorbitant price the plan fell
through. He stated that Mrs. Turpy, the
principal of the school, had called upon
him and urged the great necessity of pro-
viding a recreation ground for the chill
dren and he accordingly wrote to suggest
that condemnation proceedings be insti-
tuted against Mrs Geary's lot. The COM
mittee decided that the action would be
unwise.
With regard to the communication from
the Board of Education calling for pro-
vision in the next tax levy for SIC, 900 for
four teachers of physical culture and the
purchase of a gymnastic equipment the
committee decided that it would be time
enough to consider this when the tax levy
was being made up and it would know
better what the other demands were and
what the totals were likely to be.
The petition of the Mechanics Institute
with regard to the bed of Mission Creek,
which touches their property at Fifteenth
Sixteenth, Folsom and Harrison streets,
was considered, and it was decided to au-
thorize the Mayor to appoint a Com
missioner to appraise the value of the land
as preliminary step to making terms
under which it may be sold,

HORDES OF JAPANESE.
They Are Trying to Steal Into the
Country From British CO.
Ium bia.

Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald received
word early yesterday that eight japanese
contract laborers had arrived from Victo-
ria, b. c., on the steamer Umatilla. With
immigration Commissioner Stradley he
boarded the steamer and found that the
japanese were all provided with certificates
issued in Victoria by the United States
Commissioner at that place which author
lied their landing in this port. The Japs
were allowed to land, although against the
protest of Mr.. Fitzgerald, who believed
that the holders were merely contract
laborers. The certificates were to say the
least carelessly and irregularly drawn.
A short time ago thirty-six Japs were
landed under similar circumstances and
they went direct to a farm in Fresno. Mr..
Fitzgerald's deputies are now in Fresno
for the purpose of learning whether or not
they are really contract laborers. If they
are they are likely to be deported.
Mr.. Stradley has information that there
are now in Victoria over 800 Japanese
waiting for opportunities to get into the
United States, but it is doubtful if they
attempt to come by steamer.
Considerable dissatisfaction is expressed
at the indifference of the Commissioner in
Victoria.

LIKE BONANZA TIMES.
Assemblyman Tibbitts of Amador Tells
of the Mines About Phoenix and
Prescott in Arizona.

OF the Mines About Phoenix and
Prescott in Arizona.
Assemblyman James II. Tibbitts, we'll
known mining man of Amador County,
returned from the newly discovered mines
in Arizona yesterday. He had spent a
mo nth in looking over the prospects, and
says they are most promising, especially
about Prescott and Ph9 nix.
The activity of these two cities reminds
me OF the bonanza times of 1875 in Virginia
City, " said Mr.. Tibbitts yesterday. 'Sa-
looms abound everywhere. They are
ablaze with lights, and all are running
gambling games at full blast. The camps
never sleep and the orchestras keep play
ing into the next morning.
"Of course" he added, II didn't go look
ing for these things. But they are thrust
upon you and you can't avoid seeing them
there
According to Mr.. Tibbitts, the prosperity
OF the mining districts is assured. There
has been some very rich finds, and large
quantity of Eastern capital has been CEN
tered in Arizona. improvements are being
made everywhere, and many hosting
plants and stampingmills have been or
dered at great expense.
