THOUGHT He COULD SEE
Mrs. Boyer Wants a Divorce
Because She Married a
Blind Man.
Her Sen Thrashed a Man Who Was
Too Friendly With His
Mother.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, !

Mrs. S. A. Boyer, who was once station
agent at Oak street, wants divorce from
her husband, who is now an inmate of the
Blind home.
Mrs. Boyer's affairs were made public
Tuesday afte rnoon because of beating of
her son, Eugene Reeves gave man named
Thompson on Clay street.
She was married to Thomas Boyer
about four years ago and now says
that he was blind at the time but that he
concealed the fact from her. Since the
wedding he has beco me an inmate of the
Blind Home. Stories reached Boyer about
his wife and man named Thorn pson and
he called to his assistance the stepson
Robert Reeves, an able-bodied young man
who likes to resent an injury. Fhis was
about two weeks ago when Mrs. Boyer was
staying at the Galindo Hotel.
Early last week Mrs. Boyer left the
hotel, telling her son that she was going
in the country. He did not believe the
story and started out to find his mother.
He found her at Clay-street lodging
house. Young Reeves at once informed
Mr.. Boyer of his discovery and his fear,
and they both waited for Developments.
Presently they saw Mrs. Boyer going up
the stairs with Thompson. Eugene Reeves
joined the pair and there was scene.
When seen last night Mrs. Boyer said
that as soon as she was divorced she in
tended to marry Thompson.
Now Boyer will apply for a divorce and
the case will probably hang fire for weeks,
much to the chagrin of Mrs. Boyer, who,
it is said, has arranged to marry Thorn D.
son next week.
81 have not lived with Boyer for several
years." she said. HE deceived me when
we we're married, and as soon as found it
out left him. My boy did slap Mr..
Thompson, but that is all the thing
amounted to. He is mad because 1 won't
marry a rich old fellow who lives near Oak
street. This man has lots of money and
my boy wants to spend some of it for him.
If were rid of Boyer tonight would
marry Thorn pson tomorrow"

MAY INCREASE
FERRY FARES,
The Information Regarding
Ferry Rates Is In
complete.
SOME FAULTY LOGIC.
The Managers Explanation Is
Partly Explained by
Mayor Davie.
NEWS FOR MR.. KRUTTsCHNITT.
Need of q Thorough Investigation Of
the Points Before the Railroad
Commission.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, |
908 Broadway. June %.

Mr.. Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pacific
Company is not familiar with ali the facts
regarding the rate war of Oakland fer
ries. Neither he nor Mr.. Clunie seem to be
aware of the fact that there are people now
crossing the bay on tickets that cost only
214 cents apiece.
Only two years have passed since John
L. Davie and J. NJ. Bassett operated COM
petitive ferry and these gentlemen read
the general managers reply to the Rail-
road Comm ission with great interest
Judging by the past they consid er it only
a matter of time before the fare On the Sew
enth-street road to San Francisco will be
raised to the original price of Is cents.
'If this matter is not settled by the Rail-
road Commissioners according to the
law" said Mr.. Davie to-day, 'there will
without doubt be return to the old order
of things and single trips will cost 10 cents,
as they did before our opposition. That
was before Mr.. Kruttschnitt's time, but
not so long ago that the people of OAKLAND
have forgotten it. For some months after
our service opened up the fare on both the
creek and the Seventh-street route were
the same, namely, Is cents. After time
the pier route was reduced to 10 cents and
the creek route to- cents. This continued
for time and then they were pressed so
hard that they reduced the creek route
fare TO 212 cents for a single trip. While
their tickets were in circulation parties
bought up large blocks of them and are
using them to this day.
"When the opposition ceased the creek
route rate was at once raised to five cents.
The law says that when fare is reduced
by reason of competition it cannot be
raised again except on application to the
Railroad Commission. The commission
was ignored regarding creek route fares
and it is only reasonable to suppose that
the same thing will occur in regard to the
the Seyenth-street route if Mr.. Krutt-
schnitt's incomplete statement is not
properly understood.
"As to the general managers remarks
about the cost OF operating not ius,ifying
a reduction of the Seventh-street rate that
is absurd. There is money in carrying
people across the bay for a nickel, and we
have proved il. We should have been do
ing it yet if the City Council at the rail-
roads bidding had not refused to give US
a decent landing on this side.
"In my opinion the constitution was
framed for the purpose of dealing with
just such eases. Mr.. Kruttschnitt's con-
tention that there are two distinct routes
and that the greater rate for shorter
distance" clause does not apply in this
case cannot surely be made in good faith
Garry ont his theory and the railroad
company has only TO parallel some of the
best-paying portions of its route and
charge just what it pleases. Now that
this matter has been opened up the very
fullest investigation should be made by
the commission"

When Her Husband Departed

Mrs. Daniels Hints That She MAY
Not See Her Husband

908 Broadway, June 25.

9O8 Broadway, June 25.
Mr.. Daniels of 58S Thirty third street has
disappeared somewhere betw cen his home
and Liverpool and his wife can find no
trace whatever of him.
The circumstances attending the drop
ping out OF sight OF Mr.. Daniels are en-
tainly mysterious and have given risen to
many theories advanced by the neighbors
OF the distracted wife. The Daniels have
been married but year or two and resided
at their present home nearly a year. They
are comparatively wealthy and Mr. Dan
lels had no profession, but was generally
understood 10 be stockbroker, He was
always well supplied with money, paid
his obligations where he went, and he and
his handsome wife led quiet life, receiv-
Ing but few friends.
Nearly three weeks ago Mr., Daniels told
his wife he had decided to make trip to
Liverpool, England, for the benefit of his
health. He went off and has not been
heard OF, neither has he arrived at mis- des-
tination nor did he ship on the steamer
on which he intended to take passage.
Telegrams to all points have not brought
any news, ana if something is not re-
ceived soon there is grave danger that the
young wife's reason may be impaired. For
several days she has been bordering on
Mysteries and cared for by friends.
Mrs. Daniels has confided her story to
several friends and it bears some resem-
blance to a mystery tale of which the
chief chapter is left to the Imagination.
when he first spoke about going of, u
said Mrs. Daniels, Il intended to go with
him, but he was in too much haste to
allow OF my preparing for such journey.
When he left me had but so cents in my
purse, and he was to send me money in a
couple of days. He was to have written to
me from various places, but I have not
received any money or any letter. He
used to deal in stocks, and was always
well supplied with money, and L never
knew what it was to be short. Our mar
Tied life has always been happy and pleas
ant, and l fear that my husband must
have been taken sick or met with some
accident and is somewhere where he is not
known. He was very jolly when he left,
and l expected to receive letters from him
all along the route of his journey. The
steamer on which he was to cross the
Atlantic has arrived at Liverpool, and he
was not passenger. 1 am at loss to
explain the strange circumstance"
This afternoon the friends of Mrs. Dan
iels had to carry her meals, as she was
perfectly destitute. She is but 25 years OF
age and has confded to her friends the
fear that she may never meet her husband
again

Hospital Association, in acknowledging

Kept in mind the larger good to oakland, to
Central California, and your efforts were re-
Warded with a floral parade that demonstrated
to the strangers who visited us that Alameda
County is second to none in floral wealth. and
that her people have the refinement and cul-
uYauon that made II possible Tor them to ar
range floral parade wherein every carriage
exhibited was gem of artistic beauty. No

dance OF delicate flowers displayed on May l,

some chance of ultimately recovering

she may die before another day rolls
