a frequenter Of the Palace Hotel and other
places Of social resort. and yet his presence
did not become generally known until yes
terday. His temporary abode is a local res
taurant, where. however he spends very
little time. for he is devoted to the object
Of his affection, and he is often across the
bay at the country residence of the pretty
actress and heiress.
That young Elkins Is determined to wed
Miss Hopper. and that she is willing to &C.
cept the name and companionship he offers.
no one who has enjoyed the company of the
young couple will gainsay. In fact 1t is
understood and the Call has ample author
ity for the assertion that their bethrotal
is certain to follow the first assurance that
the younger Elkins receives from his father
Of parental conformation for his matri-
monial step.
However, Stephen Elkins, Jr., Is in San
Francisco. and expects to remain here I'M
til Miss Hopper Is ready to return to the
East. which will not be for several weeks.
Two years ago Edna Wallace Hopper
came to San Francisco, and the fact that
young Elkins followed her here gave rise
to the first stories that a mutual attach
ment. originating In New York some months
previous. existed between them. Later It
was reported that Elkins. Sr., had warned
his son that a marriage between the latter
and the actress which was gossiped in
the East as a possibility, would not be
condoned. Stephen Junior has since tried
to overcome the objection OF his parent and
assisted by Miss Hopper, whose consent to
the marriage is reported to hang conditions

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. July N.-Lawrence Murphy.
formerly treasurer Of the stonecutters
union, was convicted Of grand larceny in
the first degree to-day on the charge Of
having stolen $1,000 Of the funds Of the
union, which had been paid by employers to
prevent a strike on the part OF their men.
Judge Newburger ruled out all evidence
involving the right Of the union or men
representing the union to demand and re-
ceive the money Murphy was charged with
having taken. He instructed the Jury that
the only question was whether Murphy re-
ceived the money and had failed to account
for 1t.
Under the circumstances. the fury could
do nothing else but bring in a verdict Of
guilty. as there was no denial of the fact
that Murphy had made no accounting Of
his shortage. =

Assistant District Attorney Mott did not
attempt to defend the extortion Of the $4,000
check from the Brooklyn stone dealers. but
he insisted that this had nothing to do with
the case before the jury. He pointed out

extortion, and he promised that the District
Attorney would see that punishment was
inflicted in another action.

1t was commended that the offense of ex-
tortion was committed in Brooklyn where
the check was paid, and, therefore, out of

FILES DEMAND UPON THE STATE
Mrs. William q. Particle Prepar-

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Springfield. Ill. July 27.-Mrs William q.
Particle has made formal demand upon
State Auditor Mccullough for a warrant for
$4,000. this being the amount OF an appro-
priation made two years ago by the Legis-
lature to reimburse Mr.. Particle for claim
against the State growing out OF his con-
tract. for the erection Of the Reformatory
building at Pontiac.
The demand upon the Auditor Is prelim-
mary to a suit at law to collect the amount
Of the appropriation and is merely formal
The suit. 1t is expected. will be brought in
Chicago. 1t will be based on the PROPOSE
ton that the Governors disapproval of the
Particle appropriation bill was illegal.
The theory of Mrs. Particle is that the
Governor first approved the bill and that it
really became a law before his veto mes
sage was prepared. She believes that the
veto was prepared after misrepresentation
had been made to the executive and that
the Governors disapproval of the bill was
secured by improper means.

Mr.. Mott said there was absolutely no de-

ton was whether Murphy had taken the
money. Judge. Newburger in his charge
took the same view. After being out twenty
minutes the jury came In with a verdict or
guilty. Murphy was remanded until Friday
for sentence.
