Miss Mae Ethel Rouse %
Oakland Is Really Mrs.
"Johnny" More.

OAKLAND, March 17.-"Johnny'
More is married Johnny More. hero
of the California football gridiron, So
ciety man, fraternity man, Golden Bear
man, Skull and Keys man, idol of the
university campus, is a benedict, and
the news has just leaked out.
But Johnny won't saw a word
about it. He's as reticent as an oyster.
He won't say when it happened. He
won't say where 1t happened. He will
not tell the preachers name. He knows
the word has gone out and been passed
along the line. All his fraternity broth
ers at the Chi Phi house know about
1t and did know about it a long time
ago, but even to them Johnny" has
confided nothing. When friend asked
him to-day for details he said:
Nothing doing
The girl in the case was Miss Mae
Ethel Rouse of Oakland. She shines
in Oakland society, is handsome and
her parents are Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.
Rouse of 6s3 Thirty-fourth street. Her
father is a commission merchant.
AS the story goes, Johnny" More
and the former Miss Rouse, who had
been courting through all of the young
mans college days, went to San Rafael
one day some sixteen months ago and
were married This is all anybody in
terested will admit
Mr.. and Mrs. More are living at the
Rouse home. It is understood, how
ever, that there is something to settle
on the Darental Side of the question
and that several conferences have been
held between young More and his faith
er, who came up from the south to talk
it over with his son.
More comes of an interesting family
and there is glamour of romance
about the doings of his immediate an
cestors. His father is John F. More,
a brother of the late Henry A. More.
who made a fortune raising sheep and
cattle on the island of Santa Rosa, off
the Southern California. coast. When
Henry More died there was a scramble
among the relatives for his million
dollar estate. A bitter struggle in the
courts ensued, the brothers and sisters
of the deceased taking sides No soon
er was this struggle ended than an
other grew out of the desire to share
in the estate of an unmarried sister
who died, and that disagreement is still
being fought out in the Alameda Coun-
ty courts.
Since coming to the university More
has been exceedingly popular. His pop
ularity was won on the football field,
upon which he has been a hero for four
years.

retta Y. York took her 10-months-old
child and left home Tuesday night, and
sent her husband. NJ. A. York, hurry
ing off to the police to recover his miss

The Yorks resided at PIP Adeline
street. The husband, who had rela-
tives east of the Rocky Mountains, ar
ranged to go to them, believing he
could better his condition. York met
objections from his young spouse. who
was strenuously opposed to the change.
She was Californian and was so loyal
to her native State that she would
not for a moment consider the pro-
posed change. 1t was California or
nothing.
Then Mrs. York disappeared. The
husbands appeal to the police was
successful so far as locating the miss
ing wife was concerned. but York was
not willing to say whether he had con-
vinced her that she should reIent in her
decision not 10 go with him.
You see, 1 am an Eastern man." ex-
planned York, and my wife is a Cali

turn because l could better myself with
him. But 1 could not persuade my
wife. When I began making prepara-
tions to go my wife left me and I
thought she would not come back"

who is charged with embezzIement by
F. NJ. Jones of Sacramento, principal
California manager of the company,
and declares that he stands ready to
meet any obligation that Jones can
prove his former employe owes.
While Jones insists that he has been
mulcted to the tune of 1920 or so, Bless
ing appeared in the Police Court this
morning with his attorney, John w.
Gwilt, who made a statement to the
court touching his clients side of the
difficulty.
Gwilt declared that Blessing had not
been connected with the Racycle
agency for several months; that dis
pute arose concerning the financial re-
lations; that Blessing claimed Jones
owed him; that Blessing would not
make any settlement until the books
could be exported to decide what was
the fact.
IF the books show that Blessing
owes Jones We shall be ready to set
tle,'' said Gwilt.
Blessings attorney insisted that
Jones counsel, Johnson & Johnson of
San Francisco, had given orders that
he should not see the books.
There the controversy hung until
Jones hastened to Oakland yesterday
and caused Blessings arrest. The case
was continued until Monday in the
