CLAIMS TWO HUSBANDS.
A Woman Charges Herself With I'm
Intentional Bigamy.

A woman who says her name is Mary E.
Bailey and who gave her residence as 312
NJ street southwest, appeared at police
headquarters this afternoon with her two
children. She said that she has two hus-
bands living. Patrick Clancy, she says, is
the name of her first husband, and she
claims that fourteen years ago he left her
and took their three children TO Philadel-
phia, where he is now living at S02 South
18th street. Believing him dead, she says,
she married James Bailey, a telephone line
man here. Clancy, she said, came here on
visit and brought two of the children
with him.
The fact that she claimed to have two
husbands living did not trouble her. She
was told that she might be charged with
bigany, but she did not fear prosecution
because, she said, she believed CLANCY was
dead when she married Bailey.

held in the State Capitol, Sacramento. b.
T. Walton, H. B. Stabler and II. u.

the Sacramento meetings.
The president, Mr.. Lelong, gave an ex-
tempore talk on the use and adulteratlon
of paris green. Since the last meeting
many samples have been tested and sew
enteen were found heavily adulterated.
Professor Z. J. Wickson of the State
University addressed the society on the
subject of paris green, showing how adul-
teraiion can be detected by coior tests and
microscopic examination. Under the
microscope paris green has a character
istic gloDular form, while the adultera-
tions appear as whitish dust or minute
crystalline forms. When these are pres
ent in any considerable amount the paris
green loses its brilliant green shade.
B. +. Walton of Yuba City, B. n. Row.
ley of San Francisco and r. D. Stephens
of Sacramento were appointed a commit
tee on legislation and resolutions.
A resolution was adopted requesting all
fruit-growers buying paris green to require
written guaranty from the dealers that
the material sold them as paris green con-
tains at least so per cent of arsenious acids.
Professor Hilgard of the State Univer-
sity was invited to address the society at

Route of the Proposed Grand
Canal From Redding to
SUiSun.
FOR ALFALFA, CORN AND HOGS
Fertility Will Revisit the Parched
Plains of the Great Sacramento
Valley.

Frank Adams of this Citv is still busy
on his project to run an 1rrigating canal
from the Sacramento River above Redding,
through the Sacramento Valley to Suisun
Bay.
The canal will be IS feet wide and 81
feet deep, carrying feet depth of water,
the quantity of water to be taken being
about 1000 cubic feet per second.
The canal will start from dam one mile
north of Red1ing, and it's elevation below
the dam will be 49S feet above the level of
the sea. The dam will be about 1S feet
high From Redding the canal will flow
southwark. skirting the foothills with an
average fall of foot and half to the
mile. Thence the route will be as follows:
Crossing Olney Creek and Clear Creek,
thence two and half miles west of An
derson. thence across Cottonwood Creek,
three miles west of Cottonwood; along
Hooker Greek and over the Hooker divide
down Dibble Creek, where the canal-bed
has been built for five miles, two miles
west of Red Bluff; thence down the Sac
ramento Valley on the 300-foot contour
line, two and a half miles west of Corning;
thence easterly about two and a half
miles to the west of Kirkwood; thence
three miles west of Orland, three and
half miles west of Germantown, four miles
west OF Willows, two miles west of Max
well, three miles west of Williams, one
mile west of Macy. three miles west of Ar
buckle, three miles west of Harrington,
two miles west of Dunnigan, through
Blocks, through Madison, thence follow
ing the east line of the railroad, thence
crossing Putah Creek one mile east of Win
ters, thence through Vacaville and on to
Suisun Bay.
If sufficient capital cannot be enlisted to
carry the work through it will be done on
the cooperative plan. The company will
issue 50o.0 600 shares of stock at 81 per
share, and at the same time issue SIPS, 600
worth of bonds at So per bond, the bonds
to draw interest at quarter of per cent.
Laborers will be paid 81 per day, one-half
in bonds and one-half in stock, or for
every ten days work on the canal a man
will get So bond and $5 shares of
stock and his board. These bonds
will be guaranteed to buy land
under the ditch with perpetual water
right at the rate of $75 per acre, or they
will be redeemed after seven years at
their full face value.
At the same time the company will
issue $125, 900 worth of bonds at the par
value of 500 drawing per cent interest.
These bonds will be sold to raise money
with which to buy iron and cement and
build bridges.
The canal will also furnish power for
mills and other manufacturing plants
and it Is expected that green fields of al
falfa will follow the silver thread of water
down the valley.

HAD TO PAY EXTRA FARE
Why Two San Francisco Ladies
Are Suing a Steamship
Company.
Refused a Stateroom That Had Been
Previously Agreed On With
the Agent.

An interesting case, involving the la
bllity Of corporations to carry out oral
contracts made through their employees,
was tried before Justice of the Peace
GroeZinger yesterday. Mrs. Dora Peyser,
who conducts the Hotel Montrose, corner
of Geary street and Van Ness avenue, and
Miss Julia Lewis, a teacher i'll the Clement
Grammar School, took trip TO Europe in
May last, and engaged passage from the
local agents of the Hamburg American
Packet Company.
The laoies, being subject to seasickness,
engaged stateroom amidships, the num-
Der and location of which was noted in the
receipt given for their round-trip passage.
According to their testimony the local
agent expressly agreed that they should
have the same apartment on their return
voyage.
When the fair tourists presented their
tickets at the European port from which
the ship sailed for the return trip and de-
manded their old stateroom they were re-
fused, and in order to secure suitable ac-
commodations were compelled to pay SAT so
extra. Both testified that. though the re-
turn trip was no more stormy than the
outgoing journey, they were made very
seaslck through the unfavorable location
of their stateroom.
They sued for the extra passage money
paid and for enough more for damages to
make up the limit of the Justice Courts
jurisdiction.
The company denied that its agent had
the right TO promise the passengers that
they would be furnished the same state
room, and also claimed that even had such
stipulation been agreed upon it would
not be binding on the corporation.
Justice Groezinger intimated that he
considered the plaintiffs entitled to ver-
dict, at least, for the amount of the extra
passage money paid, inasmuch as they
had every reason to suppose that they
would receive as suitable accommodations
on the return as on the outward journey.
The matter was taken under advisement.
