ETHEL
JOHNSON ELOPES
WITH 4 DENTIST

TWAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Justice of the Peace Quinn of Oakland
Performed the Ceremony, and
Now the Young Couple
Are Happy.
THEY HAD ONLY KNOWN EACH
OTHER A FEW WEEKS.

Ethel Johnson, petite and pretty, with
seventeen summers over her fluffy head,
and Ellis Sweeney, a young dentist, Wfo
is quite prominent figure on the line,
were star performers in a quiet elope-
ment to Oakland last Friday morning,
where they were made man and wife very
much against the wishes of their parents
Miss Johnson attended the Polytechnic
High School and has hosts of friends in
this city. She resides at 522 Ellis street.
The marriage ceremony was performed
by Justice of the Peace Quinn. The young
couple had only known each other a few
weeks. They met at a social function heId
recently at the home of one of the young
ladys friends and the sweet story of love
at first sight they whispered into each
others ears.
Miss Johnson knew her parents would
enter strenuous objections to union with
her loved one, for it was ''all so sudden,
ar she yet had three long years to send
the way of all things before she would
leave the memory of her teens to the
past, to be resurrected only by the serb
bling in her school books or the initials OF
her best young man scratched on the book
strap which he was so fond OF swinging
on the way home. But the mere matter
of parental objection was Il trivial cir
cumstance, not to be considered seriously
when life's happiness was at stake, ac-
cordlng to the arSuinent adVaIceu pf liIe
young dentist, and Ethel johnson deter
mined TO become his bride.
Arrangements for the elopement were
made quietly. and the parents of the
young folks did not get even as much as
an inkling of the impending match
At 9 o clock Monday morning Miss john
son and her husband to be met at the
ferry. He was accompanied by Rege
Moen an intimate friend, and she by her
cousin Miss Edna Rock, who resides at
$40 Polk street.
They took an early boat across the bay,
procured a license and then ushered them
selves into the presence of Justice Quinn
TO have the knot tied.
After the ceremony the bridal party re-
turned to this city and celebrated the oc-
casion at first-class rotisserie.
OF course. explanations of the runaway
match were made to the parents on both
sides and of course mamma and papa
were quite angry but they have yet
made no attempt to separate the swain
from his young bride.

SUDDEN GRAB
FOR BERKELEYS
STREET TRAFFIC
Important Move by
Southern Pacific.
MEANS VIRTUAL MONOPOLY
A STRIKE AT THE OAKLAND
TRANSIT COMPANY.
Applications for Franchises Made to
Extend the Telegraph and
San Pablo Avenue
Lines.

RERKEIEY. July 24.-The all-absorb-
ing question of the extension of street
railway transportation of the university
town was brought on afresh to-nlght py
the somewhat precipitate action of the
Oakland Improvement Company. Inc
move on the COmpanys s part IS by lar
the most important development and in
it's easily foreseen consequences the most
considerable thing which has come UP in
+be business interests of the community
for several years past. Although kept
we'll under cover until the company was
ready to play it's hand, now that the
move has been made and the initial step
taken almost the entire number or the
residents of the town are clamoring for its
fulfllment at the earliest possible date.
Already a most lively interest has mani
tested itself in every detail of the plan.
and this interest was shown to a marked
degree at the meeting of the Board of
Trustees tonight, when the projected i'm
provements were first made public.
The cause of this excitement was the
filing with Town Clerk Hanscom of the
Board of Trustees tonight of two appli-
cations for franchises by Attorney j. A
Foulds of the Oakland Improvement Com
pany The first application calls for the
operation of a street railway connecting
with the line now running on Telegraph
avenue. The specifications are that the
line shall commence at the junction of
Telegraph avenue and Bancroft way, run
ming thence in a westerly direction down
Bancroft way to Shattuck avenue, and
from there turning north and continuing
to North Berkeley.
The second application refers to the
electric line now operated on San Pablo
avenue. II provides for a continuation of
the line along San Pablo avenue to West
Berkeley terminating within 100 feet of
University avenue.
When viewed from the standpoint Of
facilities for transportation which the
project offers, greater boon could be
held out to the residents of the districts
involved. Net only is an efficient local
service assured between hitherto uncon-
and northern sections, which have long
suffered in this respect and which have
lacked this single incentive to further
property improvements, while serving as
feeders to the main lines on San Pablo
and Telegraph avenues, will have conVe-
nient connection with Oakland and the
districts adjacent.
When viewed, however in light of the
struggle for patronage which has been go
ing on between the Oakland Improvement
Company. which practically means the
Southern Pacific, and the Oakland Transit
Company, it is clear that the bigger cor
poration is likely to secure a virtual
monopoly of the Berkeley traffic. The eN-
tension of the San Pablo line To West
Berkeley means the control of all the
transportation of that part of town. sec

reach. The extension northerly likewise

THE RIGHTS OF DEPoSIToRS.
A Bank in Liquidation Is Not Exempt
From Civil Action.

decision of the Supreme Court handed
down yesterday will be of no little import
ance to a number of depostors of the
Fresno Loan and Savings Bank. A year
or so ago this institution was directed by
the Bank Commissioners to levy an as
sessment of so per SHIRE, in order to
carry on the business in a safe manner.
This the directors refused to do, and the
commissioners directed that the bank
should go into liquidat ation. Demand was
made by some of the depositors for the
money they had placed with the bank,
for the recovery of the deposits.
The defense was that, being in liquida-
+ion the bank was not subject to suit by
the depositors and This this was sustained sta, by
bv the Supreme Court. The latter tri-
bunal sets up as the law that when a
bank goes into liquidation, and while its
doors may be closed to the creditors by
the directors, still the directors cannot
close the doors TO the court: also that the
right of action by the creditors is the
same as though the doors of the bank had
never been closed, and its business was
progressing in the usual channels.
