The comedy is "a familiar one to Rich

given last night was probably the best
seen here since the original company was
here several seasons ago.
All the funny situations are retained.
and the delightful humOr reverberates
into hearty laughter and applause.
As the theosophical barber, Mr. George
Mack was very funny, and he displayed
large amount of original humor. Mr..
Joseph A. Wilkes. as the retired pork
packer. and Mr.. Osborne Searle, as his
son. we're both quite clever, while the
ladies i'm the cast especially Miss Louise

case. Chambers remained obdurate, how
ever, and refused to grant the permission
unless the request was made directly
through the German Consul. The petit
TONERS took their leave and soon sought
out the German Consul, Herr Rose, who
acceded to their request and personally
appealed to the Chief Justice.
The Alameda was billed to sail at 8
p. m. to-day, and Raffel went aboard
early. About noon the British man-of-
war Porpoise steamed out of the harbor
and laid directly in the Alameda's course.
This action caused an air of uneaSineSs
which was intensified when the Royalist
another British man-Of-war, swung into
position within distance of communica-
tton from the shore. Both vessels rested
within sight of each other and awaited
the departure of the steamship.
When the hour set for the departure ar
rived the Alameda glided away from the
Whart and headed down the stream. An
immense crowd lined the shores and
the German man-of-war Fake was an
other source of attention as she shifted
her position and activity was apparent or
her decks.
Shortly after the Alameda had gained
headway, however, something happened
which was calculated to remove ali sus.
pense from the mind of Raffel The Roy
alist hoisted a series of signals and hel
sister engine of destruction turned and
leisurely steamed into the harbor The
Porpoise passed close to the Alameda
but made no exchanges, the signal in al
probability, having been a message that
RaffeI had secured his liberty and was
no longer desired by Chambers.

HERRINGTON'S COUNSEL
ASKS FOR A DELAY
Evidently Not in Favor of an Inves-
tigation Into Ballot
Frauds

SAN JOSE, March S.-The discovery of
fraud perpetrated in the Herrington-
Campbell contest during the recount of
the ballots is the principal topic of dis
cussion just now Judge Hyland's court
was crowded this morning at the time set
for contestant s counsel to decide whether
he wanted an investigation. The specta-
tors were doomed to disappointment as
Attorney H. a. Moore asked for another
day for consideration. 1t is said the Her
rington forces, in whose favor the ballots
were tampered with, will not demand an
investigation. They propose to let the
court decide in favor of Campbell and
then appeal to the Supreme Court.
This may not satisfy the court, and
Judge Hyland may insist on the fraud he
has discovered being looked into. The
Democratic and Populist county central
committees and the Republican Good
Government League offered a reward of
$3.50 for the conviction of any one tamper-
ing with the ballots, and since this gross
fraud has come out they have reiterated
their offer. The Good Government League
has offered an additional reward of $50
for any evidence of persons who tampered
with ballots during the contest.
The inky thumb marks on ballots where
crosses were made 1t is believed will lead
to q cIeW, and efforts will be made to
locate the guilty man. The attention of
the Grand Jury will be directed to the
case.
The contest comes up again tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.

LOS ANGELES. March 8. - The
thirty years of turmoil in the Mayberry
household are to have an airing, so the
wife has filed suit for divorce in the
Superior Court-the plaintiff Mrs.
Emily Gray Mayberry, the defendant
Colonel Edward Leodore Mayberry.
The colonel is said to be worth a mil
lion. His home estate, Ell MOlino. To-
Gated between Pasadena and Alham-
bra, is one of the most beautiful in
Southern California. The property is
named after a noted old Spanish mill
still standing within its confines.
which was built by the mission fathers
early in the century.
The divorce complaint is based on the
grounds of extreme cruelty and inf1del-
ity. The allegations cover forty-tVe
pages of typewriter matter.
The couple were welded in San
Francisco in 1870 Edward Mayberry.
aged 81 is an only child. Harry May
berry, aged 81, is a son of the pla1ntlf
by a former marriage.
The complaint recites almost endless
cruelty on the part of the husband. In
February, 1872, it is asserted. May
berry discovered his wife crying be-
cause of her having surprised her hus-
tentions to Lena Robinson. servant.
Angered by his wife's tears. it is al
legged the colonel struck Mrs. May
berry on the face with his fist. The
blow rendered her unconscious for
three days and resulted in per-
manent paralysis of the ring finger of
her right hand, which she had raised
to avert the blow.
Later cruelty, the complaint states,
wrecked her health. The paralysis
spread from the finger to both hands
and then to the feet.
In 1875, the complaint alleges, the de-
fendant beat his son Edward, then
years DID, with a club. During the
summer he caused his wife further
mental suffering by undue familiarity
with two servants named Emma Rob
bins and Miss Indy.
In 1879 the plaintiff went to New
York sanitarium for few months and
returned cured of the paralysis, except
for finger and the right wrist. The
injury to the wrist, she asserts, was
caused by her husband. She found him
beating the two boys with a riding
whip The mother interfered. Colonel
Mayberry it is alleged, seized her by
the wrist and threw her across a room.
While she was absent in New York, it
is alleged, the defendant lived With
Mrs McGregor. The plaintiff says she
discovered this after her return. Shame
and humiliation caused the paralysis
to return. The paralysis was total by
1892. The plaintiff has since been en-
ti1ely helpless.
Further allegations in the complaint
treat of the relations of Colonel May
berry and several servants, which are
said to have increased his Wife's mental
distress.

PRESERVATION OF FORESTS

Special Dispatch to The Call.

Los ANGELES, March 8.-The For
est and Water Society Of Southern Cali
fornia was organized this morning. In
response to an invitation from the
Southern California Academy of
Sciences a number of men repre-
senting various local interests gath
cred at the Chamber of Commerce TO
form an organization that shall have
as its object the preservation of sur
plus water in Southern California. The
objects Of the new organization are:
First-Further storage of the surplus
rainfall in the wet season for summer
use; reclamation and improvement of
the desert and arid lands by this
means; to support the work in this
line being done by the United States
Geological Survey.
Second-Institution of a rational sys-
tenn of managing forests and mountain
watersheds.
The following statement Of the water
situation in Southern California was
made:
The safety Of the community demands
the arrest of all further forest denudation
in Southern California. The sole enemy
in this is fire. The increasing ravages of
fire are menace to every watershed in
Southern California. Forest denudation

a rainfall not increased. 1t has created
torrents. has caused serious damage
where watersheds have been much in
iured as in the watersheds of the San
Gabriel and Santa Clara On the other
hand, mountain streams and springs have
given out, lessening the summer supply,
to the injury of irrigation.
Besides these important considerations
also is the probable and unfavorable
modification of the climate due to undue
forest denudation. Greater extremes of
,%-l
forest covering is removed. The forest is
like a blanket over the mountains-it
retards radiation of heat. Air on a de-
nuded mountain rapidly cools, flows down
the naked mountain sides and canyons
out into the swails and lowlands, in crop
and orchard. This means more severe
frosts. Extremes Of heat must also be
more numerous and agricultural returns
must diminish.

Cutting Insurance Rates.

WOODLAND March There is much
commotion in local insurance circles, and
if one-half the rumors in circulation have
any foundation a lively insurance war is
likely to be instituted. Several companies
have already sent special agents to this
city to assist the local agents in protect
some time that rate cutting has been go
ing on, but there was no intimation of a
possible open declaration of war until the
arrival in this city of Roger B. Friend, a
representative of the Thuringia Insurance
Company of Germany. This company be-
longs to the compact, but threatens to
withdraw.
