satire on American politics, "A Texas
Steer" will mark the appearance here
of May L. Stockton, a charming little
actress who has been gaining much

BOY IS FOUND
GUILTY BY JURY
Murder in Second Degree Is
Verdict of MarysviIle Citi-
zens i'm the Hankins Case
MERCY is RECOMMENDED
Attorneys for Defense and
Prosecution Enliyen Pro-
ceedings by War of Words
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MARYSVILLE, Oct. 14.-Claud F.
Hawkins, the boy murderer, was con-
victed of murder in the second degree
and recommended to the mercy of the
court to-day by jury. The jury was
out eight hours. 1t is understood that
from the time the jury retired at noon
until shortly before it announced its
readiness to report that eleven of the
twelve men wanted a verdict of muir
der in the first degree.
When the jury announced it's verdict
Attorney Carlin for the defense created
a scene by accusing the foreman of the
jury of unjurorlike conduct after the
case had been submitted. Only the in
PREVENTION of Judge Mcdaniel prevent
ed a lively mixup.
The last few hours of the trial were
enlivened by the chickering's of the at
torneys in the case. While making his
closing address to the jury District At
torney Britain accused Attorneys Car
lin and Johnson, counsel for the de-
PENDANT, of concocting the story told
by the defendant on the witness stand
yesterday of the brutal action Of Han
kins victim toward the boy before he
was killed by the latter. An exciting
scene followed. Attorney Carlin de-
manded the protection of the court
from alleged insult and branded the
accusation as a lie. When Britain
asked who made UP the defense Carlin
replied, God Almighty"
The trial has been remarkable for the
efforts of the attorneys on both sides.
On account of the extreme youth of the
boy defendant the District Attorney
was required to make great show of
evidence to convince the jury of his
guilt, while the crime was so cold
blooded and the admissions made so
discriminating that the defendants at
torneys were required to put forth ex-
ira efforts to justify the deed.

TILTED WOMAN WANTS MAN
IN THE CASE ARRESTED
Miss Lizzie Morrison Swears to Com
plant Charging Daniel Reen With
Crime of Felony EmbezZIement

Miss Lizzie Morrison, who came
from the country recently and is liv-
ing at 456 Sixth street, got warrant
yesterday for the arrest of Daniel
Reen. a section hand on the Southern
Pacific, on a charge of felony en-
bezzlement.
Miss Morrison alleges that she and
Reen met at her home in the country
and became engaged to be married.
On August 5, 1903, she gave him $500
TO deposit in a bank in this city, as it
was arranged that when they got mar
ried they would take UP their resi-
dence here.
After she came here she discovered
that Reen had not deposited the $500
in the bank and that a supply of
dishes and glassware that she had also
sent him TO be used in their home had
disappeared. The worst discovery she
made was the fact that Reen had
transferred his affections to another
woman. Miss Morrison is about so
years of age.

Against Their Submission.

The Supervisors joint Committee
on judiciary, Public Utilities and
Charter Amendments considered yes
terday the protest of the Merchants
Association against the submission of
charter amendments to the voters on

intervals of not less than two years.
Supervisor Braunhart explained
that the matter was out of the Super
visors' hands and was TO be taken to
the Supreme Court as the result of the
decision of the Election Commission
not TO put any of the proposed amend
ments on the official ballots. The
committee therefore agreed to take no
action on the protest of the Mer-
chants Association.

OLD DIVORCE
RULE TO STAND
Episcopal Deputies Vote to
Reject Proposed Change
in the Existing Canon
DECISION is CLOSE
Bishops May Yet Act on the
Matter, but This Session
Will See No Amendments

BOSTON, Oct 1.-THE House of
Deputies of the Episcopal General Con-
vention, at the close of a four days
debate, to-day rejected an amendment
to the divorce canon. The amendment
sought 10 prevent the remarriage of
divorced persons by clergymen of the
denomination. While the House of
Bishops may yet act on the matter, it
is certain that no change will be made
by the present convention.
The present law of the church. which
has been in operation since 1859. al
lows the remarriage of the innocent
party to a divorce granted for infidel-
ity. At several conventions attempts
have been made to repeal this law.
A vote was taken to-day by the
House of Deputies, sitting as a COM
mittee of the whole, on the question
of reporting the proposed amendment.
The reformers were successful by a
vote of PA to 191, and this vote was
regarded as representing the actual
strength of the contending forces. The
final vote, however, was taken by do
ceses and orders, and where a diocese
was evenly divided in sentiment its
strength was counted in the negative.
The vote by dioceses was; Clerical
For the amendment, 30; against, 21; di-
vided, TO- Lay vote-For, %; against,
"a; divided. 6.
Practically the entire strength of the
Middle Western States, the stronghold
of the High Church party, declared for
the proposed reform, but the Pacific
States and a number of the Southern
States voted against change of the
present canon. The diocese of New
York opposed the amendment, while
that of Pennsylvania favored it. Yer
mont, New Hampshire and West
ern Massachusetts voted for a change,
as did the lay delegates from Rhode
Island The clerical deputies from
Maine favored the amendment, but the
votes of Connecticut and Massachu-
sets were cast in the negative.
The issue was not a party one, al
though the whole strength Of the High
Church forces was given to the reform
movement The president of the House
of Deputies, Rev. DR.. w. H. Mckim
Of Washington, voted for the old
canon, although the clerical vote OF
his diocese supported the proposed
change. The convention will hold no
session tomorrow.
