PROVED AN ALIBI.
Charge OF Robbery Against Richard
Murphy and Thomas Barnes
Dismissed.

Richard Murphy, letter-carrier, and
Thomas Barnes, blacksmith, were arrested
last Sunday morning on the charge OF
robbery. The complaining witness against
them was Fred NARROW of Fruitvale, who
charged them with robbing him of $40, at
Leavenworth and Broadway, about 5
O'Clock Sunday morning.
The case was called in Judge Lows
court Monday morning, but NARROW failed
to appear. The Judge continued the case
till yesterday and issued bench warrant
for Marlow's arrest. NARROW could not be
found, and yesterday the Judge decided
to go on with the case without him. Both
defendants were able to establish COM
plete slibi, and the Judge dismissed the
case.
The police want TO find NARROW. II he
was robbed of $46 by two men they want
him to explain how he became possessed
of so much money. He told Policeman
Peters on Sunday that he got the money
from his brother. who works on Morosco's
ranch near Fruitvale, but his brother de-
MES it.
Marrow was arrested on December II
last by Sergeant Mahoney of the harbor
police for grand larceny. The charge was
afterward reduced to petty larceny, and
on December 10 Judge Joaehimsen SEN
fenced him TO six months in the County
Jail. He was only released few days ago.

Victory for the Traffic Associa'
ton Soon to Be
Enjoyed.
LOW RATES ON SATURDAY.
San Francisco Can Then Meet Her
Rivals On a Basis Conducive
to Trade.

The Traffic Association of California,
having won a victory in the fierce contest
for Utah business is now preparing for
the added satisfaction OF seeing San Fran
cisco merchants enjoy the benefits thus
brought to them. Under the management
of William B. Curtis, the new traffic
manager, the association has without
much ado accomplished in this single in
stance more than enough to repay its sup
porters tenfold. For new and, 1t is said,
a really remunerative field has been
brought within the pos sible scope OF San
Francisco s commerce.
The southeast portion of Utah. which
was hardly accessible before because OF
discri mination in favor of Eastern mer-
chants, is regarded not only by shippers,
but by the railways as WELL as an i'm
portant region. Its many mining districts
REQUIRE immense quantities of merchan-
disc, machinery, etc.
Heretofore it WAS supplied from Chicago
and cities on the Missouri, although San
Francisco, by reason of its closer prox-
unity, was entitled to the business. Act
ing on this foundation, Manager Curtis
instituted an elaborate system of attack,
Traffic Association brought about con-
ference between the South Pacific and
the railways east of Utah.
The result has been made known in gen
eral terms, and now the Southern Pacific
has come out with a new freight tariff be-
tween stations on its lines in California to
stations on the Rio Grande Western in
Utah and Colorado.

MARCEAU DRAMA ENDED
The Colonel Withdraws all
Charges, and Himself
Receives 100000.
Baby Marceau Given Into the Custody
of Mrs. Herbert Hall by
Mutual Consent.

After three months of ceaseless litiga-
ton the curtain has finally been rung
down on the divorce suit drama of Colonel
Theo q. Marceau against his wife.
By the terms of the compromise the
photographer agrees to withdraw forever
the sensational charges made against his
wife when the suit for divorce was filed,
and the wife consents to the return of $780,
600, sum advanced her by her husband
In the doye-cooing stage of their marital
felicity.
When Colonel Marceau married he was
in possession of snug fortune. Shortly
afterward several mortgages held by GER
tain persons on some of Mrs. Marceau's
property in Fresno matured and he natur-
ally offered to take them up himself In
this manner he became his wife's creditor.
Appreciative of his generosity, Mrs.
Marceau insisted that her own large in
come should be devoted to the expenses of
the family, which included foreign travel
on large scale.
Had not Marceau and his wife kept a
joint financial account the complications
which have so long delayed the settlement
of the suit would have been avoided and
their affairs settled long ago.
Arrangements as to the future custody
OF the child were completed last week,
when with the consent of both parents
Baby Marceau was transferred to the care
OF Mrs. Herbert Hall, who has been APP
pointed by Judge Slack as the little ones
permanent custodian. Both Marceau and
wife are to have equal rights as to visiting
it and having it brought to their respective
homes.
No mention of a divorce between the
parties to the suit is made, but as they
both have expressed a determination for
ever to live apart. the general impression
is that in due time suit of an amicable
nature will be brought.
Meanwhile the colonel, it is understood,
will continue to conduct the photograph
business and his wife has taken long
lease of the house On Ashbury Heights,
where she now resides with her young son,
Allen FIske, and her father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher.
II is said that she intends TO leave for
the East shortly 10 spend tie summer at
the home of her parents. but she has made
no definite statement as to her intentions.

4 PAINTERS BOYCOTT.
Union Journeymen in Trouble With
j. Quadt - Four Members
Were Expelled.

The meeting of the Painters Union last
evening was decidedly interesting, and re-
suited in the declaring of boycott on one
paintshop and the expulsion of four men
from the union. Both actions have been
on the tapis for several days. A week ago
it was reported that a number of boss
painters were about to reduce the wages
OF their workmen from So to 81 per day.
A committee went to all the shops TO learn
the facts, and last evening the members
reported that the majority of the bosses
are paying union rates and are friendly 10
the union.
There was one exception. John Quadt,
whose place of business is in the st.
Nicholas block. 1t was reported that he
not only refused TO recognize the union.
but was cutting wages. 1t took the paint
ers but short time to declare boycott
upon Quadt's shop. This means that no
union man can handle any paints or other
materials from that shop. Furthermore,
the Paper-hangers' Union, which is q
branch OF the painters organization, will
refuse TO handle any paper from that shop.
The secretary was instructed to write 10
Campbell & Co. of New York, who are
supposed to be backing Quadt, and inform
them OF the boycott on their goods and
materials on account of Quadt's attitude
to organized labor. II is hoped that the
New York firm will take q hand in the
hight IN the interests OF their goods.
To-day the men IN Quadt's shop viii be
ordered 10 walk out. Those who belong
to the union refusing TO answer the sum-
mons will be severely dealt with.
The union then took up the cases of
four members found guilty of violating
union rules by working for less than the
standard rate of wages. These are w.
