area under the wedding bell. Down this
promptly at $3.50 came the wedding party,
led by the groom and his best man, Calla-
CHAN Byrnes, and Charles Jost Jr. second.
Following came the bride, leaning on
the arm of her father, Lam bert Van
Laak. The bridesmaids were Misses
brides sisters, Miss Carrie Elwart,
the groom's sister. Mrs. Elwart and
Mrs. Van Laak, mother of the groom
and of the bride, followed, forming the
wedding party. The music was stilled,
and DR.. Stebbins said those few words that
made the pride wife, the groom hus-
band.
Then followed the shower of congratu-
lations, the wedding supper IN the rooms
downstairs and afterward dancing.
The bride and her following off maids
made beautiful picture. She was gowned
in cream white satin, trimmed with pearl
passementerie and duchesse lace. Her
long veil, studded with orange blossoms,
was held in place with crest of diamonds
of regal magnifcence, the gift of the
groom. She was very beautiful.
Her sisters-the Misses Hattie and Lot
tie-the former maid OF honor, wore white
silk, covered with white chiffon. with
sprays of pink forget-me-nots. Miss
Carrie Elwart wore lavender silk, with lace
and passementerie. Ali carried bunche:
of roses.
The wedding journey will be shor
one, but will be extended later to the home
of the groom in New York and afterware
will include tour of Europe.

All day the aged capitalist sat quietly

the congratulations of the many friends
who applauded him for his bold dash to
repel the accusation of matrimony, while
the friends of Mrs. Abbott called on her

.H|GHBINDERS EXCITED.
The See Yups Find Their Consul
Acted Under Yang's
Orders.
The Consul's Men Try to Complete
Their Work of the Day
Before.

The See Yup-Sam Yup boycott is now
in its last throes. 1t is only question of
very short time until it expires and on
its dead body will be burned the incense
of peace.
As regards the cause of the demolition
OF the See Yups' headquarters at 800 Clay
street and other highbinder institutions it
is now definitely known that the local
Chinese Consul, Fung Yung Hang, was
acting under instructions received from
Yang the Chinese Minister at Washing
ton. The telegram reads as follows:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 14.-Fung Yung
Hang, Consul-General S06 Stockton street,
San Francisco, Cal-Instructions have been
issued to have bond of good behavior given
pired without compliance on the part OF those
concerned, whose conduct is very disre-
spectful.
You are to dissolve the highbinder societies
ana the See Yup Association without delay.
Noncompliance will subject you to impeach-
ment and degradation from office. YANG.
The Bo Ong Tong, known as the strong
est highbinder institution in Chinatown,
which not long ago reduced the Bo Leong
long to submission, is now deslrous of
peace. The Bo Leongs, however, have
again renewed the feud and to their assist
ance have brought the See Ying Tong and
the Hop Ying Tong.
The See Yups had demonst-atfve meet
ing at their quarters on CONNER ercial street
Wednesday evening. at which the police
say Attorney Campbell was present, and
the situation was actively discussed. The
sympathles OF the police are on the side of
the Chinese Consul, and they state that he
is merely endeavoring to put quietus on
the lawless reign of Chinese hatchetmen.

With This Decision the Suit of Groez q

There will be no rehearing in the mat

The issue raised in Kahn against Sutro,
which was decided some weeks ago by the
Supreme Court, involved the construction
of the county government act and the
tenure of offices in this City and County,
and incidentally an Interpretation of the
relations of certain officers to the munich

PRICE MUST ANSWER
Formally Charged by Coroner's Jury
With Numbering His Stepson,
Edward Edgar.

William Price, who killed his stepson,
Edward J. Edgar, with a pair OF scissors,
and Lee Nee. who shot Quong All Chong,
were charged with murder by Coroner s
jury yesterday.
Price took the stand in his own behalf.
He said that on the night of the killing
he had been attacked by Edgar, who
struck him (Price) with his fists. In self
defense, therefore, so Price says, he
picked up the scissors and struck at the
young man, tn ough he had not intended
to stab him. Mrs. Price and Harold
Edgar, the latter a brother of the dead
man, swore that the attack had been en-
tirely unprovoked. Edgar had prevented
Price from slappng the face of his wife,
and had been stabbed to death for his
trouble. After few minutes deliberation
the jury returned verdict that the blow
had been struck with murderous intent"

In consequence of the lodge being alb
sent from the temple on Wednesday the
work of receiving the reports of the vari-
Gus standing committees, which is gener-
ally disposed of on the second days ses-
sion, was continued this year to the third
day. Consequently the members did lit
tie else at yesterdays session except hear
ing and acting upon the reports of the
various standing committees.
The only divergence from this rule was
discussion over the Masonic Cemetery
and the action of the trustees of that asso-
citation.
The election of officers has been set
down as the special order of business for
this forenoon, and in connection with this
it is thought that general promo.
tion will be the rule along the line with
the exception of the grand secretary and
