he never lost an opportunity to boost

thereupon asked that the order be an

the Code of Civil Procedure provides that
a husband cannot testify for against
his wife without her consent.
Judge Cook heard the arguments Of
both sides and gave a decision to the eff
feet that the witness answer the ques-
ton, maintaining that as the laws of IL
linois provide that a husband can testify
for or against a wife without her consent
and as the testimony is to be used in that
State the question was proper. The mat
ter undoubtedly will be taken to the Su-
preme Court, as Judge Cook has ex-
pressed his intention of furnishing Car
wood for contempt. There is a nice legal
question involved in the case, as GarwOod
is now a resident of this State and ex-
presses his preference for the laws OF

His Life Saved By a match Box.

Christy carried in his vest pocket saved
his life yesterday when Victor Schneider
made an attempt to send the point of a
carving knife into his side. Christy and
Schneider are dishwashers in a restau-
rant at 1891 Polk street. Trouble over suf-
fcient sugar to sweeten cup of coffee at
the breakfast table was the cause of the
assault. Christy refused to let Schneider
have the sugar, whereupon the angered
man seized the knife and made a vicious
lunge at his side. The point of the knife
went through the matchbox, cutting
hole in the mans clothing and just pune
turing the skin over one of the ribs Cor
poral Anderson placed Schneider under
arrest on a charge of an assault with in
tent to commit murder.

VETERANS BOUND
FOR THE CAPITAL
Go to Urge Appropria-

Encampment.

Members Of the general committee of
management, thirty-seventh national en-
campment, Grand Army of the Republic
will leave San Francisco for Sacramento
at $3.50 p. m. to-day. A special car has
been reserved by the Southern Pacific to
convey the party to the State capital.
Free transportation is also granted by
the railway company. 1t is expected
that members of the committee will
meet Secretary William E. Lutz at the
ferry building as early as 1920 o'clock
this afternoon. General Shafter from
Bakersfield, Judge Buckles of Solano
and other well known veterans will Join
the party en- route to SacranA Aento.
This evening. in the Assembly cham
Der of the Capitol there will be a Joint
meeting of the Finance Committee of
the Senate, r. T. Devlin, chairman. and
the Ways and Means Committee of the
House, F. f. Dunlap, chairman. Repre-
sentatives of the National Encampment
Committee will present the request for
an appropriation of $4,000 to defrav
partly the expense of the national re-
union of the veterans in California. It
is the desire of the general committee
that every member of the Legislature
shall attend the joint committee meeting
tonight
The Legislature of 1885 appropriated
$4,000 to assist in defraying the ex
penses of the twenty-first national en-
eampment ins1SS6. The twenty-first en-
campment was the first national series
ever held in California and the thirtv-
seventh will surely be the last. The
sentiment in the national encampment of
1902 in favor of going to California lust
once more before the final muster out of
the Grand Army was so earnest that
fancied discomforts of a journey across
the continent in the summer time were
placed aside and the proposition to meet
In San Francisco in August or Septem
ber 1903, was heartily indorsed.
The railway companies have allowed
the bedrock rate Of $50 for the round
trip from the Atlantic to the Pacific. the
same rate that was given to the Chris
tion Endeavor, and the indications are
that the largest throng of visitors ever
booked for California will take advan-
tage Of the special excursion facilities.
The Governor of the State the Mayor
of San Francisco, representatives of
many leading organizations, and dele
gates representing every Grand Army
post on the Pacific Coast invited the vet
Grams to California and in response to
the invitation they are preparing to
come with their sisters, their cousins
and their aunts." The veterans them
selves may not have as good a time in
California this year as they had in 1886
but they will appreciate the pleasure
which the trip will afford to the Eastern
youngsters of the new generation.
