The Stanford Professor Speaks of the I'm
portanoe of the Meeting.
Professor Earl Barnes of Stanford Uni
versity, president of the California Teach
ers' Association, is at the Grand in San
Francisco.
The professor saws the twenty-ninth an
nual meeting of the association, which will
convene in Oakland at $3.50 tomorrow
morning, will be very important one.
He expects from 700 to 1000 teachers from
different parts of the State. Papers will be
read and discussed by representative
teachers.
Every phase of modern educational
theoryand practice is represented in the
programme laid out for Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. said Professor Barnes.
''and the social sideis not forgotten. There
will be promenade concert in the High
School building Thursday evening, with
normal and high-school receptions in the
hotels and in private houses all through
the three days.
''Nowhere in the world is the convention
spirit so highly developed as in America,
and among no class is 1t more highly de-
veloped than among the teachers. The
great HallOlidi dSSoCidtlOlS III the summer
have from ten to fifteen thousand attend
ants, and the associations of Southern
California last spring had thousand
teachers in attendance for three days. The
great value of these meetings is undoubt-

THINKS He IS DOYCOTTEO
Judge Swasey's Complaint About
the City Officers of
Alameda.
The Municipal Board Determined to
Make Importan Street
Extensions.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 3l.-Justice of
the Peace Swasey has a standing COM
plant, which he periodically makes
known to the authorities. He is a town
ship officer, coordinate in power with an
other Justice and with Recorder, elected
as municipal officer. He has the author
ity to try petty offenders against city or
dinances, as we'll as against general laws.
and, as his emoluments come in the way
OF ices, 1t makes difference how much
business he gets. His complaint is that
the TWO constabes and the entire police
force divert all the business from his
court to that of the other Justice. The
fees OF the other Justice in eleven months
have been $771, while those of Swasev have
been but $237 There is no law by which a
constable or police officer is required to
swear to his complaints before one mapis-
trate instead OF another but the board was
impressed with Swasey's complaint suffi
GENTLY TO order an investigation of the al
legations.
Shooting on the Marsh.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 31-The Munic-
ipal Board supposed it was doing exactIv
what the residents OF Bay Farm Island
wanted when it caused to be prepared an.
ordinance prohibiting the discharge Of
firearms in that portion of the city which
had heretofore been exempt. There was
something OF a surprise, therefore. when
on the eve OF the enactment thereof there
appeared Bay Farm Islander who OBJ
Jected to the law. He represented that
such law would be q hardship on the
islanders themselves, as it would prevent
them shooting game for their own use on
their own land. The oh lection did not
prevail, however as the complaints of reck
less shooting on the Bay Farm marshes
are OF years standing and the board had
1uliy determined to put stop to it.
Extension of Streets.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec 31.-The West
End, or western portion of Alameda, has
not progressed and improved in the same
ratio as the remainder of the oitv Tbe
reason for this is believed to be that 50
many large tracts are owned there that the
building of houses is discouraged and re-
pressed thereby. Lately the Munic1nal
trustees have taken up the subject of
opening streets through some of these
tracts, and have succeeded. Thew now
propose to open other streets, and to get
that section of the city as thoroughly sub
divided as any other.

that she would like to travel on the CONT
nent OF Europe. One of her notions was
that a female would be subjected to less
curiosity and criticism while travelling
abroad II she were widow. This idea was
communicated TO Richard Apgar, who at
that time was Daiiiff OF San Francisco Police
Court 2, and through his influence she was
married to printer named Mckee, whose
death was shortly expected, as he was
victim OF consumption. On the very dav
OF their marriage Mrs. Mckee refused to
live with her husband.
Her figure and the lavish manner in
which she entertained made her promi-
nent in Paris London and Algiers But
while she spent money freely she also
made lucky investments that yielded
handsome returns. She was credited with
being worth a million dollars, and a story
came over the wires from Paris that her
hand was sought in marriage by a wealthy
French Duke, who had been deceived intO
an offer of marriage by the widows weeds
which the bright Californienne wore. She
opened the Dukes eyes to her true stand
Ing as married woman, whose husband
was yet living, and he promised that if she
would come to Oakland and get a divorce
he would marry her.
A few weeks later Mrs. Mckee returned
TO Oakland and was at the deathbed of her
husband. She was greatly affected when
lhe iaSI nOur came ana expressed much
regret that she bad acted in such Il ro-
mantle manner. She provided a costly
funeral, but after it was over the senSa-
tlon-Ioving young widow made several
heart conquests on both sides Of the bay
and seemed 10 take great delight in de-
stroying the peace of mind of everybody
whom she could influence.
AS sne was an expert banjo, violin and
piano player, and was possessed of q rich
soprano voice her friends tried to induce
her to go upon the stage, but she refused
and declined all kinds of theatrical offers.
Several theatrical spectators tried to get
her to become the "angel" Of company
OF which she was to be the star, but the
wealthy young widow was far too shrewd
to run any such risk OF financial ruin
About this time she met Arthur Brans-
comb, young Australian actor, and she
agreed to marry him. II was forced to
hurry OF to Chicago to keep an engage
ment, and few days later the widow fol-
lowed, intending 10 wed the young actor.
While en- route she learned that he had
wife and family living and She continued
on the journey to Europe.
Then came the news of the marriage of
Mrs. Mckee to a wealthy cigarette manu-
facturer of London. He is of Greek origin.
and his name has never yet been pro-
nounced by any of her friends in this city.
He is said to be worth a million pounds
and TO idolize his California wife. She
leads the life of duchess, and when she
drives out is attended by servants in
livery. During the past few years her
property in this city has increased in value,
and she is coming out to visit her friends
and to look out for her interests.
