In co,lsonance with the tastes Of the

was a quiet tlone atf'ir, witnessed only
by the nearest relatives Of each, who were
however sufficiently numerous to make a
happy gathering Oh this occasion. The
ceremony took place i'll the parlor, and
though there were no elaborate floral dec
oratlons, the room was bright and .attrac-
tive. The bride was escorted therein by
her father, who locked very serious upon
giving up this, his last remaining unnar-
RED daughter, bit no less willing to do so
when he considered the stirling merits
and qualities Of the young groolawaiting
her. The bride looked charrningly sweet
and pretty III white organdy, Which was

wcuo very appropriate to the occasion.

served to make a pleasant family reunion.

HOLDEN WON'T CARE
So Long as He Gets His Vacation
With Paw

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 21.-There
was lively tilt between Governor Budd,
Acting Chairman Phelps and President
Kellogg at the meeting OF the university
regents today over the resignation Of
Prof. Holden.
Regent Phelps brought the matter up
by suggesting that as Prof. Holden OF
the Lick observatory contemplated re-
signing it would be only right and proper
hat the board allow him three months
leave Of absence with pay in order to
allow of his completing arrangements for
the future.
Governor Budd said that 1t had come
to his knowledge that letter was in the
possession of some member of the board
from Prof. Cotton of the Lick observa- :
Tory to the effect that he rendered his
esignation on account of Prof. Holden.
He intimated that this letter had been
suppressed by those by whom it had been
received. President Kellogg admitted
having received the letter referred to,
and stated that he had turned it over to
Chairman Phelps of the Lick observa-
tory committee. The latter stated that
he understood that Prof. Cotton had dis
posed of the matter by leaving bs<h the
observatory and the state.
Governor Budd insisted upon the pro-
duction of the letter, and after 1t had
been read by Secretary Davis the matter
was referred to committee for investi-
cation. which will inform Prof. Cotton
that his resignation has been accepted
and will arrange for granting Prof. Hol-
denis leave of bsence.

HoWELL's ATTORNEYS
Sue the Wife to Collect Their Little
Fees

STOCKTON, Cal. Sept. 21.-J. c.
Campbell Of Reddy, Campbell & Met
son, San Francisco attorneys, today
commenced suit here against M. D. How
ell and wife to recover $4,000 professional
fee and 1925 moneys advanced and laid
out In the defense Of Howell before the
United States district court a year or
more ago when Howell was charged
with having passed counterfeit coin.
The complaint says demand for the
money was made on Howell and wife
here on the Sd of September, but the
bill has not been paid. The employ
ment was on the retainer of Mrs. Howell,
who has the money, and it was for the
third trial of her husband, who was
finally acquitted. Campbell was their
attorney throughout the litigation which
won Mrs. Howell large share of the
big estate Of her adopted father, Uncle
Billy Johnson, a rich bachelor farmer of
this county, and the same attorney,
with E. S. Pillsbury, defended Howell
on the counterfeiting charge. Mrs.
Howell has some property left on which
the judgment could be collected, but her
husband cannot pay the lawyers bill.
