Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE. Oct. 12.-Because she was
deprived of a husband and received
permanent injuries Mrs. Sarah E.
johnson demands $50, $50 damages from
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany. While on trip from New York
to this city to marry DR.. James w.
Hitchcock she was injured in a train
collision in the depot yards here. She
attributes the accident to the careless
ness, negligence and want of skill of
the employees of the railroad company.
Mrs. Johnson in her complaint alleges
that she received permanent injuries
to her spine and was severely bruised
about the body causing great physical
suffering. She was in a hospital from
June 20, 1904, to October 5, 1904, and is
now confined to her house and can only
walk with the greatest difficulty.
She was on her way here to marry
DR.. James w. Hitchcock. The we'd
ding was to occur June 21, 1904, the day
following the accident. Because of the
injuries received, she claims, she had
been prevented from marrying Hitch
cock and has been rendered forever in
capable of marrying.
The $60, $50 damages asked are divided
as follows: For injuries received in the
wreck, $4,000; physician bills, $3.50; loss
of husband, $4,000

DEPLORES "SIDE SHOW"
FEATURES OF YOSEMITE
Rev. G. G. Adams Strongly Advocates
the Guardianship of the Valley
nv National Government

Rev. George c. Adams, who re-
turned from a vacation in the Yo-
semitic last week, gave an interesting
description of his journey at the First
Congregational Church on Wednesday
evening. Very eloquently the speaker
carried the attention of his audience
along the floor of the wonderful place,
and past the spot where the pinnacles
of granite lift high in midair and the
falling waters float veil-like over the
upper rims of cliff.
The doctor closed with the senti-
ment that this noble vale should be
the care of the national Government.
Like the Yellowstone and other reser-
vations, he said, United States officers
should be its guardians. The State
Commission with little funds at its dis
posal doubtless does the best, said the
speaker, that it can, but that is
insufficient. He spoke of the con-
cessions that are given certain people
in the valley for money considera-
ton, and though he did not say so, he
left the impression on the minds of his
intelligent hearers that he noted the
side show" characters that mar the
matchless grandeur Of the noble place.
The national Government in its care
of it's wonderful reservations does not
exc out its expense account by selling
money-making privileges.

DIVORCE STILL
THE PROBLEM
Indications That Episcopal
Conference Will Not Act
on Question This Session
VIEWS AT VARIANCE
DR.. Clampett of This City
Among Those Opposed to
a Change in the Canon

BOSTON, Oct. PA marked revi-
sion of sentiment regarding the pro-
posal to prevent the marriage of the
innocent party to a divorce during the
life of the former partner developed at
to-day's session Of the House of Depu-
ties of the Episcopal General Conven-
tion. The house, sitting as commit
tee of the whole, discussed the issue
the whole day and many vehement
addresses were made by both sides.
Several prominent delegates expressed
the opinion tonight. in view of the
differences of opinion, the present con-
ventlon would not act on the question,
but would, like its predecessor, refer the
problem to the next triennial confer
ence.
Leaders Of the high church party
spoke strongly in favor of the pro-
posed legislation. DR.. F. w. Clampett
of San Francisco and several other
deputies opposed a change in the canon.
The House of Deputies to-day pre-
sented to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury a silver loving cup. The English
primate will leave Boston for New
York tomorrow, and will sail for Eng
land on Friday.
The resignation of Bishop Thomas A.
Jaeger of Southern Ohio was received
and accepted by the House of Bishops,
and his coadjutor, Right Rev Boyd
Vincent, becomes Bishop of the dio-
cese.
At the afternoon session Of the House
of Deputies, sitting as a committee Of
the whole, Rev. Robert Ritchie of
Philadelphia discussed the ninth verse
of the nineteenth chapter of st. Mat
thew, which the opponents of the pro-
posed canon assert authorizes the re-
marriage of the innocent person who
has been divorced, and quoted further
from the New Testament to show that
marriage was indissoluble, except by
death.
Rev. DIR. F. w. Clampett of San
Francisco, speaking against the pro-
posed change, expressed the opinion
that an agreement of all Protestant
communions on the matter Of mar
riage and divorce would be a grand
achievement.
James Mcconnell of New Orleans op-
posed the adoption of the new canon
in a dramatic speech.
Rev. E. A. Larrabee of Chicago, in
support Of the new canon, quoted from
the New Testament to show that those
who put away a wife or husband and
marry another commit adultery. Judge
Prince of New Mexico made an address
in opposition to the new canon. The
debate was then put over until to-
morrow.

TWELvE-YEAR-OLD RENO BOY
KILLS BIG MOUNTAIN LION
Sends Small Bullet Into Beasts Heart
and Then Takes to His

RENO, New, Oct. 12.-While hunting
with a small caliber rifle John Herd, a
12-year-old boy, yesterday killed a
mountain lion measuring 10 feet from
tip to tip, near Lamoille. in the Ruby
Mountains, Elko County. The boy had
tracked a deer in the snow for some
distance, when he came in sight of the
lion eating the carcass of deer. Trem-
bling with fear the little Nimrod took
aim over bowlder and fired.
Leaping and roaring the lion started
in the direction of the young hunter,
who took to his heels. He had gone
some distance when he met several
men who went back with him. On
reaching the place they found the lion
dead, having been shot through the
heart
