Her FRIENDS INDIGNANT
An Injustice Said to Have Been
Done to Miss Bertha
Bradley.
Her Discharge Prom the Santa Bar
bara High School Denounced
as Unfair.

BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 19.-Much in
dignation was expressed to-day by the
friends of Miss Bertha Bradley. daughter
Of Professor c. B. Bradley of the State
University, at the action of the Santa
Barbara High School Board in dismissing
her from their corps OF teachers, as stated
in this mornings CALL. The fact that
Miss Bradey's dismissal followed closely
upon the discrediting by the university OF
the Santa Barbara institution is taken as
significant.
Professor Bradley. her father, is mem
ber of The xamining com mittee on schools
which blackiisted so many this year, and
hence The summary discharge of Miss
Bradley is presumed 10 be a means of
securing retribution by the Santa Bar
bara school. There seems to have been
no occasion for Miss Bradley's dismissal
on the ground of inefficiency, but that she
was made the subject for vicarious sac.

90S Broadway, Aug. 19.
Robert Earlston, the aeronaut is now
il Jail in San Diego on serious charge
preferred by the father of 15year-old
girl to whom Earlston has recently been
married. When arrested he expressed
charge, as he felt confident that the sub
sequent marrage would rob it OF all its
alleged criminality.
Robert Earlston, aeronaut, is also the
husband of young girl now living wi h
her mother at Temescal. About eighteen
months ago Earlston married Maud
Smith, and after living with her a few
weeks he deserted her and went off with
another girl. Nothing was heard of him
for months until he was arrested down
south for some alleged offense, and later
still it was reported that he had eloped
with Della Minot. 1t was the father OF
this girl who swore out the warrant upon
which he is now held.
Earlston's relief when arrested that
the charge against him was not more seri-
Gus may proba bly, be accounted for by the
fact that be expected a warrant for
bgamv. Nothing has ever been heard Of
a divorce, and before he is released at San
Diego inquiry will be made by the Oak
land police to see if warrant for bigamy
should not be sworn out.
Before Earlston was arrested the officers
had a lively chase of many miles, as he
was in buggy with a fine double team
and was making all possible haste to cross
the Mexican border line to avoid being
caught. When overtaken, however, his
natural self-confidence did not desert him,
for as soon as he saw the officers he
stopped his buggy, walked up TO them
and told them he was merely taking a
drive, and that had he known they wanted
him he would have saved them the trou BILE
OF chasing him so far.
