Mr.. and Mrs. Chandler have resided

Some months ago he made his home in
Lincoln, Placer County. There he met
and married the woman who to-day
took her own life.
She was about % years Of age and a
brunette. She left no note to explain
her rash act and the husband can as
sign no reason, as she had appeared in
happy and c0ntented mood during
the day. The deed was committed with
a 3S-caliber revolver. the property OF
Chandler. So true was her aim that
life was extinct before the husband,
who had only stepped from the door,

the remains and an inquest will be
held Saturday. when it is hoped some
clsw will be found to explain the rea-

Wife of Jacob Weimer, the
Chicago Baseball Pitcher,
Returns to Fathers Roof
GROOM ONCE DIVORCED
Bride Learns of Previous
Marriage and on Religious
Grounds Holds Hers Void

CHICAGO, Sept "a bride Of
few hours, Laura Trumbull Weimer,
wife of Jacob Weimer, the crack pitch
er Of the Chicago National League
Baseball team, it is announced to-day,
fled from his arms to take refuge at the
home of her father, George T. Trum-
bull, president of the TrumbulI Safe &
Vault Company. She had discovered
that Weimer had been divorced-a
condition not recognized by the Roman
Catholic church, of which she is a de-
vout member. Now they are far apart,
Weimer in Brooklyn with his club and
his bride at her parents home.
Friends and relatives are trying to
untangle the complications. Whether
the separation will be permanent or
the newly married couple will be re-
united no one pretends to be able to
say.
I'VE are waiting to see," said Mrs.
Weimer between sobs to-day. I'VE are
waiting-that is all 1 can say"
Mrs. Weimer's eyes were red with
weeping and it was apparent the shock
had borne heavily upon her. 1t was
the first time she had left her room
since she sought it's solitude within
few hours of her wedding. Reports
from the East indicate that Weimer,

look haggard and to have lost nearly
forty pounds in weight through wor-
rying. The ceremony was performed
by Bishop Muldoon a week ago.
Weimer abandoned Lutheranism in
order that the wedding might conform
with the wishes of his brides family.
Ten years ago when a mere boy the
noted left-handed pitcher was married
at Des Moines, Iowa, the union being
unhappy and of brief duration. Di-
vorce followed and the former Mrs.
Weimer took up her home in Los An
geles, Cal. where she now is with her
little daughter.
Never giving a thought to the posi-
bility of such an incident in his life
none of the Trumbull family asked
Weimer if he had married before, and
not approaching it's significance to a
Roman Catholic family Weimer made
no reference to it.
So it was not until after the cere-
mony that the family learned Of the
true state of affairs. Since then Wei
mer and she have exchanged CORE
spondence, but have not met.

alleged doctor at Aeia plantation.
According to the accounts the doctor
assaulted the woman in his office and
her cries attracted a large crowd of
Japanese who broke into the office

expected a prosecution of the case and
it is intimated that failure to prosecute
such case may lead to a strike or

SAN FRANCISCO, May 19.-The
barkentine Hawaii arrived today from

The Hawaii carried cargo of 27,500

the market since the last jump in the

quotation is not so high however as
the New York, the difference being
three-eighths of a cent a pound If
the sugar is shipped over land however

probably be CAUGHT by the vessel. Her
cargo measured 1,7O1 tons. The value
