George A. Waterbury is prepared TO
add his testimony to the literature con-
tributed by the folk who have writ
ten that "the path Of true love never
does run smooth" Waterbury has
been locked out OF his residence at
1889 Prince street, by his four daugh-
ters, because he proposed to marry
again.
When Waterbury announced his plan
to the four daughters two days ago,
they rose en- masse and protested firm
ly and not with special care to make
the protestations gentle. Waterbury,
however, believed that once the hrSt
storm had been endured. calm might
be expected TO follow. and then he
would bring his second spouse to the
family roof tree, and all would be as
before.
The daughters neglected to resume
their FORMAL state Of mind, and this
disarranged Waterbury's programe. 1t
was still farther disarranged when
he returned last night to the home on
Prince street, and found the door to
the house barricaded.
who the deuce has locked up my
tically kicked and pounded on the high
priced timbers of the building.
I'VE have, paw" cried the four maid
ems in the house, who thereupon ap-
peared at an upper window, from
whence Miss May Waterbury brand
ished a revolver that Waterbury recog-
nized as his own weapon, and not
toy weapon, either.
You go right away from here,
cried daughter No. 1, the eldest, 'and
don't come back to sleep OF to eat
till you have given up the idea of
bringing another woman here to run
the house!'
Waterbury retreated. and slept at
a lodging house in Oakland. His
meals he got at restaurant. To-day
he tried again to get into his home,
but without success. Appeal was then
made to Justice Edgar and Deputy
Marshal Pickett for assistance, and the
latter promised to see that the GOrdian
knot in the Waterbury household was
cut, deeply enough, at least, to permit
of the entrance of Mr. Waterbury in
to the rooms where his lares and pen
ates are stored.
Late this evening Waterbury swore
to a warrant for the arrest of s. j.
Hankins and Percy Belts, who, he
says, aided and abetted the girls in
their resistance to him.
Hankins is connected with the law
Office of Charles Wesley Reed in San
Francisco, and had been called on by
the girls for advice.
Hankins and Belts were arrested
tonight, gave bail and will appear to-
morrow morning in Justice Edgar's
court. During Waterbury's absence
to-day and after his announcement
that he would return with his bride
tomorrow. the Misses Waterbury, as
sisted by neighbors, removed all of
the furniture in the residence. They
stripped the house of everything
movable. The daughters deny the
shotgun story told by the father.

SAYS LAWYER
DECEIVED Her
Ignorance of Legal Matters
Pleaded by Girl as Excuse
for Annuling a Contract
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway. Dec. IA.

lV1O 6TOdQWdy, Dec. i 4.
Having decided away halt of her
birthright 10 Attorney Frederick Rus
sell for legal services rendered, Mrs.
Jennie de SOFA is endeavoring TO free
herself from the contract and the
nearing of her case is now before
Judge Melvin. She claims youth and
ignorance of the law and ways of at
torneys as her excuse for signing a
contract which if upheld will give
Russell one-half of an S11, ,14S Sc inher-
itance, she to bear out of her half
all of the expenses.
Mrs. de SOFA to-day gave her age
as 10. She is married to a man two
years her senior and upon the stand
told the following story:
When my grandmother. Catherine Griffin of
Guerneyflle, dIed l was to get a quarter of
some money left me by my grandfather James
Scobie l had run away from my grandmother
and was Here in Oakland with my husband.
We had no money and 1 told Mr.. Russell about
the estate that was coming to and asked
~" ~ u "A nc eouiu lot help US ne iooKeo INTO
the matter and told us that it would probably
mean hard hght to get the money but that
II we would sign contract he would see that
we were advanced enough money to get along
on. l agreed to his proposal. Since then 1
have found that he has charged me too much.
There is nc fight over the money My grand
mother died a short time ago and there is
about $45, 900 to be divided among four of US
He only gave about $50.
1t was shown by Attorney Charles
Peery, for the plaintiff, that the first
contract signed by her was drawn up
before she had become Of legal age
and that Russell afterward got her to
sign second one. Upon his side, Rus
sell contends that he defended them
in a charge of vagrancy and other diff
ficulties they got into here and ad-
vanced them considerable more money
than they are willing to admit they
received

Logical problems worked out by ma
chinery is the achievement now being
sought by DR.. Charles II. Rieber, as
sfstant professor of logic at the Uni
versity OF California, and when his ex
periments are finally concluded DR..
Rieber is confident that he will have
perfected unique machine, capable
of answering abstruse and difficult
questions with such accuracy and
speed as rarely are displayed by the
human mind in its workings upon such
lines.
DR.. Rieber is 10th at this time to dis
cuss his invention, desiring to refrain
from explanation or announcement un-
til all the details of his project have
been given attention. 1t is known,
however, that his machine is intended
to so operate as to eliminate all errors
in the consideration of syllogistic prop
ositions and show instantly what con-
clusionS may be expected to follow
from given premise. Questions rep
resented by certain set formulae used
in logic are to be propounded to the
machine. which will then, with uner-
ring intelligence. supply the only an
swers possible TO give in accord with
logic.
The English scientist W. s. Jevons
has machine in use working on some

Rev E. r. Ollie of the First Methodist
Church is the vice chairman. The sec
retary and treasurer are laymen, the

latter S. NJ. Dodge, both prominent
business men of Oakland. Earl S.
Bingham. one Of the most popular and
hardest of workers connected with the
First. Presbyterian Church, has been
placed at the head of the publicity
assistants: Rev. /. N. Halliday, Rev
H. B. Mowbry. There will be a special
music committee with DR.. o. S. Dean
