PASTOR CRABB, is
DENIED A DIVORCE
Must Provide for His
Wife'S Support.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, May 1.-The Rev. w. D.
Crabb, the Methodist divine, has been de-
MED a divorce from his wife, Hattie A.
Crabb. Instead he must pay $50 month
for her maintenance, besides the cost Of
the suit. This was the decision of
Judge Kittredge to-day.
The case was reviewed by the court.
The charge on which a divorce was
sought was cruelty, resulting in great
mental suffering. In deciding the case
Judge Kittredge said several things must
be considered. Were the accusations of
defendant against her husband false? Did
the accusations cause grievous mental in
jury, or did these feelings arise from the
fault Of the plaintiff? The accusations
were admitted to be false, but the court
did not believe the mental suffering of the
pastor arose from the accusation. In
stead there was something else back of
this trouble. The whole case was
mystery He did not believe the true
cause had been brought out at the trial.
Hints of the disturbing. element could be
found in the correspondence between DR..
Crabb and his wife.
The court said DR.. Crabb's unhappiness
arose from the fact that he CONSIDERED
his wife insane. The. attention Of the
minister to teachers while at the Univer-
sity of the Pacific and to his female
parshioners at Gilroy had nothing to do
with 1t. He was possessed OF the idea
=
At that time he made the matter known.
DR.. Crabb suffered from this and 1T
seemed to blight his life. His letters
showed this That he fully believed his
wife deranged mentally was borne out by
his having sent her to private asylum at
Livermore. and later to the Agnews Asy-
lum. During the trial it was conceded
Mrs Crabb was sane and responsible. so
the court would not decide that matter.
The charge of grievous mental suffering
through false accusations had not been
sustained and the divorce was denied.
Judge Kittredge said he did not be-
lieve DIR. Crabb had ever written a con-
fession of his love for other women. and
limited that the confession produced
in court was forged. He did not believe
there had been any undue intimacy by
Dr. Crabb with female members of his
parish.
1t was ordered that the first 800 for
maintenance be paid on May Is, and that
payments be made thereafter on the lst
of each month. 1t was doubtful whether
Mr.. Crabb could pay this sum. His sal
airy now in South San Francisco church
was only $19 month. Besides this he had
but a few household goods and an inter-
est in a parcel of land. Yet he should
contribute something to his wite's sup

CLERGYMEN MEET
AT PACIFIC GROVE
Episcopal Convocation Opens It's SEES

PACIFIC GROVE. May 2-One Of the
most interesting conventions this town Of
many conventions has ever known opened
at st. Marys by the Sea, the pretty little
Episcopal church of this city, this after
noon. II IS the cOnVOcation of San Jose
of the Episcopal church, and numbers
among its members some of CALIFORNIA;
leading clergymen. The ministerial visit
ors were met at the train by reception
committee and driven to the parish house,
where luncheon was served Then they
proceeded to the church.
Rev F. B. A. Lewis of Gilroy. dean Of
this ConvOcation, called the body to order
He presented report of the work of his
diocese, after which DR. L. Delos Mans
field Of San Jose, treasurer of the convo-
cation, made a financial statement Rev
Dr.. Gardner. the popular young Palo Alto
pastor, was appointed essayist for the
next convocation, his topic to be THE
Relation of Science and Religion"
The object of the conYocation is the con-
sideration of missionary work to be found
in this diocese and the solution Of various
problems affecting the growth of the
chiefly devoted to a discussion Of Chris
tian Science, so called. Rev. j. A
O'Meara of Santa Clara opened with a
paper in which the subject was looked
al from three points of ARCHAEOLOGICAL
scientific and therapeutic. He declared
Christian science was a misnomer, the
cult it designated being essentially not
scientific since science classified prov
able knowledge and was exact and not
Christian, for it regarded Jesus as a man
of human parents and not as the divine
Christ, thus striking away the very foun-
dation of Christianity.
christian science" he said, cannot
stand the test of common-sense It denies
the existence of matter and the trust
worthiness of the evidences of the senses,
while the greatest scientists teach that
matter does exist and that the senses
are trustworthy"
Looking at the subject with relation to
therapeutics. he said Christian science
had been successful in some cases, operat-
ing on the principle of the domination of
mind over matter, where the trouble was
of an imaginary nature; but that it was
baffied when confronted with surgery
The paper concluded with the statemen,
that Christian science was the enemy of
the church of God, because it denied some
of the most cherished doctrines of the
church and denounced them as delusions
Vespers were celebrated at 7:30 o'clock,
Rev. William Ford Nichols, Bishop of
California, officiating, assisted by Arch
deacon Emery and twelve other clergy
men. After service the Bishop made an
address upon missionary work in the do
cese of California.

HUSBAND TELLS OF A
FORMER INFATUA-ION

STOCKTON, May 2-The inquest
over the remains Of Mrs. Hickman and
Mrs. Hassell tonight brought out very
little to add to the story of the tragedy

SLIGHT DAMAGE
DONE BY FROST
Fruit Around Fresno Is
Nipped.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, May "A number of vine
yardists who were seen to-day said
that fully a quarter of the crop was
ruined by the late frost and that the
raisin product would be leSSened ac-
cordingly. Not since 1896 was such a
late and so severe frost experienced.
Such reports are invariably eXaggerat-
ed, but there is no gainsaying the fact
that the late frost did considerable
damage. A peculiar thing about the
frost is that it seemed to come IN cur
rents. Certain vineyards were dam
aged, while adjacent places escaped al
together or We're only slightly bitten.
The generally accepted theory is that
the cold spell went in currents, al
though it may be that local conditions
in certain vineyards enabled them to
withstand the frost better than ad-
jacent places. For the reason that the
damage was not general it cannot
well be expressed in figures.
SONOMA, May 2.-From the present
indications the fruit crop in this vicln-
ity has not been seriously damaged by
frosts. At present an abundant crop
of fruits, with the exception of cherries
prunes and pears, is expected. or the
three varieties excepted, fair crop is
assured, while apricots will be very
scarce. Apple orchards and most or
the peaches will need thinning. Vine
yards are looking fine and an abundant
crop is expected. The grain and hay
crops are both excellent. The showers
of last week were of great benefit 10
both.
RED BLUFF, May 2. = Manton.
thirty-five miles northeast OF. Red
Bluff, was visited by a severe frost Frl-
day morning and the entire fruit crop
was damaged Even strawberries suf-
fered. Manton is the principal apple
growing locality in the county and the
losses necessarily will be very heavy.
