4 CHILD.WIFE WILL CONTEST Her Moth er-in-Law Is Met With Many
 Objections. Younq Mrs. Church Wants Fair Play for Her
 Child. The Effort to Separate Them Is the Work of the Elder Mrs.
 Church.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 


 The suit brought by Mrs. A. s. Church, as guardian of her 17-year-old son, to annuI the marriage between him and the I6-year-old girl who is his wife, will bring out many complications and may possloly result in the establishment of new legal principle concerning tugboat marriages.
 To complicate matters, there Is D. months-old baby in the childish family, and this will add to the difficulty eXperl- enced in breaking up the union. Neither the young husband nor wife want to be put apart, and Attorney Carey Howard, for Mrs Church IT,, has many demurrers in store.
 The, action for annulment makes no mention of there being child and implies that it's fathers desire is to abandon It and let its child-mother provide Tor IL. This, it is claimed, will have a great weight in the decision and will certainly tend to prevent an annulment of the tug boat marriage.
 There is another view. of the. matter that may be taken by the court. It IS the view taken by the Superior Court of Los Angeles some months ago, In which it was held that there is no such thing as a marriage on the nigh seas i petwsefi ,s,sd in this State. If such be the case, there can be no annulment, and the young Mrs. Church would have to bring a clxll sqlt .il against her husbands guardian for the support of her child.
 The suit is to be bitterly contested and the girls attorney believes it will be thrown out on demurrer. Mrs. Church IS quite rfch and her son will have an ln- heritance in about four years, so it is not likely his guardian-mOther will be per mitted to put all the burden of their folly on the girl-mother.
 The young husband is now in the East attending school, and there is nothing in the suit to show that he approves of the step his mother is taking in his absence. His intimate friends declare that he IS opposed to it and that he and his wife can get along together if his mother will encourage, instead of discourage. them. Young Church did earn living for him. self and wife for some months after they elopcd to Honolulu, and showed himself to be considerable of a man.

 IN GAS RATES New Company With Half a Million Dollars
 Capital. Local Moneyed Men Are the Directors in the New
 Concern. Contracts to Be Made for One Year at One Dollar Per Thousand.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

JUo bTOdQWdy,
 For the past month or more MT. Lowe, a son of Professor T. c. S. Lowe, the builder of the famous Mount Lowe 1n- clined Railway in Southern California, has been at work in this city organizing 8, new gas company. That he has been successful is proven by the selection or a board of directors and the issuing or a circular calling for financial backing by other men of means.
 The directors names made public are Messrs G. w. McNear, P. E. Bowles, c. NJ Cooke, G. H. Collins, w. H. Chick ering, of this city, and Sidney Smith of San Francisco. If the present plans are carried out the company will soon be incorporated. The original plan was to incorporate with $l2o,0oO palo up capital. This was intended TOT use III erecting works, piping the business streets and several of the best residence streets, where the most gas is used. Then s125, 900 worth of bonds was to have been issued and given to the stocknola6ers III proportion to tI.e stock subscribed.
 However, it was decided best to make the capital stock $500 900, which has been done. Canvassers are to be put out 10 10 solicit contracts at S1 per 1000 feet in yearly contracts. The new concern IS 10 use a patent process discovered by ITO lessor Lowe, which produces gas rom petroleum without coal. me pIoecesS eesso,, iS ? now in use in Pasadena, the Professor
 John A. Britton, manager of the Oak land Gas, Light and Heat company be be erected. He has been aware of the proposed incorporation fol, over a month but did not have much faith in it's forma- ton. He declared that his company would meet the new company, should it come to a fight. MT. Britton does not believe the new process feasible, as 1t IS practically an untried one.
 The Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Com pany has reduced it's rates on two or more occasions voluntarily, and has the good will of the public in all respects. At the same time every one desires. to secure everything at the least possible cost, and it is not expected that many would refuse to receive gas for S1 when they are now paying s1 75, should they be given an opportunity

which the department officials decline

1t is generally believed that before
any decisive action is taken by the
administration the cruiser San Fran
cisco and the gunboats Bancroft and
Helena will be ordered hume, it being
appreciated that these vessels would
not be effe against the armored
cruisers of The Spanish navy. The
cruiser Cincinnati and the gunboat
Castine will probably remain at the
Barbados until the arrival of the

away, when Capt. Cooke, commanding
the aImored cruiser, will communicate
with Capt. Chester, senior officer com

and these three vessels will then prob
ably proceed 10 La Guayra, where they
will join the gunb0ats Wilmington,

Under the present baseball laws one
club can corral promising young play
ers, and not having immediate use fol-
them, farm them out Or suitcase
them in some minor club at whatever
salary they ask. When they have de-
veloped into good players, for which
any team would pay them twice as
much as they have been receiving,
they cannot go because the league club
has string around their necks.
When the big club is ready it will take
the players, and the club does so at
the same small salary, even though
half a dozen other clubs. knowing
their worth, would be willing to pay
them more. The earned-run rule has
caused much talk in baseball circles
since the close of last season and an
amendment to it seems certain. The
rowdy ball question will be considered
and the public will await action with
interest. Those who have stated thai
they want to abolish all kicking and
disorder are Boston, Brooklyn, Phil
adelphia, Cleveland, Chicago, Cincin-
natl and probably St. Louis.
