YOUNG MRS. LEVIS0N
DENIED A DIVORCE
UNABLE TO PROVE LEGALITY
OF HER MARRIAGE
Her Alleged Husand Is Accused Of
Successfully Deceiving Her
for Fourteen Years.
Oakland ONCE San Francisco Call,


Young Mrs Levison has been denied a
divorce by Judge Ellsworth, because oW.
ing to an alleged deception on the part Of
her second husband, she is unable to
prove that she was legally free to con-
tract a marriage with Levison twelve
years ago.
When a girl, little over IA years old,
Mrs. Levison was induced IN Lewis and
Clarke County Oregon, to marry man
named Mulln. She lived with him in the
forests for a few weeks, and at the enu
of that time they were so mutually dls-
tasteful to each other that they parted
willingly. LeViSOn came on the scene, ana
being more agreeable to the girl made love
to her with complete success. Mullin was
perfectly willing that his bride of a month
should obtain a divorce, and both he and
Levison assured her, so she claims that
the necessary legal steps had been taken
toward that end. Believing herself at lib
erty matrimOntally, Mrs. Mullin married
LeVison by contract, and the relatives on
both sides regarded them as husband and
wife for a period of twelve years, during
IeViSon made himself very Objectionable
and left his home Mrs. LeviSon brought
suit for divorce on the ground of deSer-
ton but was not able to prove to the sat
isfaction of the court that she was di-
vorced from her first husband thirteen
years ago.
A few months ago Levison obtained
some notoriety in this city by declaring
he had swallowed a bottle of strychnine
because of his matrimonial sorrows, but
was simply subterfuge on his part to
obtain sympathy. His wife is now living
in San Jose working hard to support her
numerous family, and Levison is in the
Island, but is not doing anything to
tighten his wife'S burden.

Architects Wife Sues
for Divorce.
THE CHARGE is DESERTI0N
NO CONTEST AND NO SENSA-
TIoNAL DEVELOPMENTS.
Parties to the Suit Amicably Settle
Out of Court All Questions in
Connection With Division
of the Property.

There are to be no sensational develop
ments in the Swain divorce suit. The
complaint which has just been filed by
band Edward r. Swain, the architect,
with desertion, and the many charges
gossip has been wont to promise when
the suit came to trial are completely fg-
nored.
The troubles of the couple have been
more or less freely discussed by their
friends for something more than year.
At the beginning of the estrangement
there was some mention of woman in
the case, but the mysterious female has
since been lost to sight. In fact, those
in a position to know declare that Mrs.
Swain was most anxious for reconciI1a-
ton with her recalcitrant spouse but
that all her overtures to kiss and make
up were ignored Judge benson of the
firm of benson, Oatman & benson, Mrs.
SWANS attorney, is authority for the
statement that the proceedings for di-
vorce are Just the natural result of a
cooling off, on both sides.
The suit will not be contested. 1t Is un-
derstood that the matter of property dt-
vision has been satisfactorily settled by
the unhappy couple and large sum set
tied upon the wife, so that the question OF
alimony will not be raised by her.
The SWANS were married March %, 1889.
The fruit of the union was one child,
is best known locally as the architect
of the ferry depot. He is represented IN
the suit by Linforth & WHITAKER:
Mrs. Swain has residence at Az LeaV-
enworth street, but spends the greater
part of her time with her sister, Mrs.
DAILY. at the latter's Oakland home. Mr..
Swain is keeping bachelors hall at 500
CLAYTON street.

The plot thickens in the divorce suit Of

ants attorney, D. NJ. Corners, is to be
made a defendant. Notice to that effect
was filed to-day by plaintiffs attorneys.
William Bailey and Carl Wood. who will
on next Monday also move that their

acre ranch near Pleasanton, and, being
DESTROYS of also owning two town lots III
I.ivermore and reposing confidence in her

$1,000 IN improvements on the lots Jose
uortgag ed one-half interest to d. M
Corners as security for promissory note

The amended supplemental complaint
will also allege that on February 13 last
lose. without any consideration, pretend
ed to convey by deed to Antonio 3.
Mezzo an undivided one-half interest in
the property. Mrs. Feliz therefore asks
that Mezzo, too, be made a defendant.
Mrs Feliz alleges that she is not versed
IN the vernacular and therefore did not
understand what her deserving husband
was about She asks that deeds and mort
cage be declared void and that the court
decree the property as being held in trust
FOR her.

DISPUTE OVER THE BALLOT.
All Alameda Candidates Likely to Be
Designated as Independents.

ALAMEDA, March at is probable
that when the Alameda voter goes to
stamp his ballot at the April election he
will be unable to distinguish a Municipal
League candidate from a Harmonic Hall
nominee. All candidates will be alike to
him, for they will, in all probability, be
designated only as independents

that he intended to give all nominees and

"If the question is submitted to the

Municipal League people will strive to
keep any mention OF Harmonic Hall off

L
DR.. c. ]. Sharpe is in no danger of ar
rest. He has not been at his office on
Washington street since he knew that
Miss jacobson had made an ante-mortem
statement directly charging him with be-
ing responsible for her death, and it has
been frequently reported that he is elud-
ing the police. 1t was learned to-day that
the police are not looking for him and
that the warrant supposed to have been
issued is not in existence. 1t is known
that DIR. Sharpe was at his office the day
after Miss Jacobson's death and it is
believed that he is now in San Fran
CISCO
The Coroner's jury did not bring in
verdict charging DR.. Sharpe with the
murder of Miss jacobson, and it was gen.
orally understood that a warrant had
been issued from the District Attorneys
office. No warrant has been issued by
either the District Attorney or the Coro-
ner, and therefore no search is being
made for the missing doctor. Should he
return to his office it is likely that a
warrant would be issued, but no one has
taken the initiative.
The ante-mortem statement of Miss ia
cobson in the possession of the District
Attorney was not presented at the Coro-
ners inquest and it's contents were not
known to the jurors.

A very important meeting of the As
sociated Students will be held tomorrow
morning for the purpose of considering
two or three radical changes in the or
ganiZation and scope Of the student body
as whole. The executive committee has
formulated three questions which they
will present for discussion. They read as
follows: Shall there be an organiza-
ton of the entire student body recognized
by the faculty and Board of Regents as
part of the administration of the uni
Versity?" "Shall the Athletic Association
be consolidated with the Associated Stu
dents, leaving athletic affairs to be man
aged oy =. ccmmittee of the latttr's ap-
pointment?' GLOW SHALL the finances of
the organization he conducted?''
The far-reaching effect of these pro-
posals will make their discussion of great
moment to the students. 1t is expected
that the meeting accordingly may lead to
consequences which will have an impor-
tant bearing upon the future organization
of the body of Associated Students.

Another Called To Rest.

Mrs. Hettie Spencer passed to the
other shore, surrounded by relatives
and loved ones, on Friday. The de-
ceased died after an illness of three
weeks, from the effects of a tumor
that had given her some trouble
for the past two years. On Thursday
she underwent a surgical operation,
performed by Doctor Brooks and Doc
tor Fenger of Chicago. She never re-
covered from the nervous shock she
received, and in twenty-four hours
passed to her reward.
She was born in Guernsey county,,
Ohio, October 5, 1850 When is
years old She removed, with her par
ents, to Shelby county, Illinois, where
she married William w. Spencer, in
1870. She moved to Jasper county,
Iowa, and later to Audubon county,
in 1887. They settled on the farm
southwest of town at that time where
they have since lived. Her husband
died on May, %, 1897, and was laid to
rest in Maple Grove Cemetery where
all that remains of each now sleep in
quiet, peaceful rest.
The funeral services We're held in
the Methodist church conducted by
Rev. Hinkhouse Of the Presbyterian
church. She leaves behind five child
rem who mourn the loss of a true and
devoted mother. In her the commu-
nifty loses one whose home devotion
and sacrifice and toll for those she
loved and lived for, will ever shine as
a bright star Of heroic womanhood.
noble motherhood that will ever be re-
membered by those who knew her.
The large assemblage of friends
speaks of the esteem and respect in
which she was held. Another kind
mother is laid to rest, and those who
are left to mourn her loss will ever re-
member with fond memories her kind
words of cheer and will ever follow the
teachings of her who sleeps IN peace.
