BITTER FIGHT
FOR FREEDOM
E. K. Clarke Is Preparing to
Show That Sweet Pea Girl
Thought He asSenatOr's Son
WOMEN CONFESS MISTAKE
Testimony Will Be Given at
Divorce Trial to Substantiate
the Charge of Conspiracy

Sensational Developments are prom
ised in the divorce suit Of e. K. Clarke.
who has instituted proceedings to an
null his secret marriage to Mrs. Rosa
lind Bower, widely known as the
Sweet Pea Girl" in Oakland several
weeks ago. Since his action was filed
against his wife Clarke has had detec-
tives employed in gathering evil
dence that will support the claim set
forth in his suit that his marriage was
the result of a conspiracy in which a
number of persons, including the pro-
prietreSs and female denizens of the
house in which he first met Mrs. Bower
were involved.
1t is claimed by those that are in
terested in Clarke's side of the divorce
proceedings that testimony will be in
troduced at the hearing of the case to
show that the women companions of
Mrs. Bower supposed that the plaintiff
was a son of United States Senator
Clark and that they proceeded with
their plot to marry him to the defend
ant with the idea that it would be
profitable undertaking not only for
Mrs. Bower out InOSe VINO heIDed her
along with her matrimonial project
According to the stories of Clarkes
friends, the first intimation that the
women received of the fact that he
was not a member % the Senator s
family was when the news of the mar
riage was published the following
morning and gave the residence and
names of the relatives of the husband
These facts. it is said, have already
been admitted by several of the women
of the house in which the plot is said
to have originated and it is expected
that these women will so testify when
they are called as witnesses. The son
of Senator Clark, for whom the women
mistook E. K. Clarke, was at the time
and still is in Montana.
Mrs. f. K Clarke is expected to file
her answer to her husbands suit in a
few days Yesterday it ives stated by
one of the husbands friends that
Clarke is determiE d to prosecute the
case to the end and will not entertain
any proposition toward a compromise
At the same time it was admitted that
the wife had made no attempt to effect
a compromise.

OF CATHEDRAL
Roman Catholic Archbishop Of
Westminster Is. EnthrOned
With Impressive Ceremony
EDIFICE FREE OF DEBT
Building Was Projected by
Late Cardinal WiSeman and
Is Magnificent Structure

LONDON, Dec. 29.-The Most Rev.
Francis Bourne, Roman Catholic Arch
bishop Of Westminster, was enthroned
in the new Cathedral of Westminster
to-day with the impressive ceremony
incidental to such occasions. The vast
building was filled to its capacity by
ecclesiastics and laymen of the Roman
Catholic church, the robes Of the Of
ficiating clergymen and the varied
garbs Of the numerous religious orders
forming a conspicuous contrast with
the brick walls and bare-looking, un-
finished edifice.
The Cathedral of Westminster, con-
secrated to-day, is the first Roman
Catholic cathedral that has stood in
the metropolitan section of England
since the Reformation. The building
was begun only eight. years ago,
though it was projected by Cardinal
Wiseman Cwho died in 1869, and was
planned by Cardinal Manning. 1t is
situated half a mile west of West
minister Abbey, and is a magnificent
structure of Byzantine style, with
a great campanile of red brick, band
ed with Portland stone, standing 300
feet high and crowned with a metal
covered dome surmounted by a double
cross OF bronze.
The extreme length of the new ca
thedral outside is $50 feet; width, 156
feet; height of nave, III feet; and it
covers an area Of about $4,000 square
feet.
The general view of the inner walls
is still one Of bare, rough brick
The scheme is TO cover the whole of
the lower walls and the piers to the
height Of about forty feet with marble.
All the upper part and the vaults and
concrete domes will be decorated with
Mosaic work, illustrating the history
Of the church.
The total subscription before the
laying Of the foundation stone was
more than S25O,OOO. Since then there
nave been many large individual bene-
factions. and the total expenditure on
the entire edifice up to the end of Octo-
Der was more than a million dollars.
The cathedral stands clear of debt.

tempts to get his wife to return to
him by threatening to kill her, but was
unsuccessful.
When the suit for divorce was filed
he made known his conclusion to fight
the case vigorously and said that he
would never pay any alimony. The
case was finally settled out Of court
by Macintosh paying his wife $1,000
and the decree was obtained without
any contest on his part. Macintosh is
at present chief engineer Of the ferry
boat San Jose.
