WOMAN FIGHTS
WITH BAILIFFS
Kicking and Screaming Ma
bel c. Sheahan Is Sent
to Jail for Contempt
INTERRUPTS A WITNESS
After Many Warnings I'm
ruly Temper of Plaintiff
Lands Her Behind Bars
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.


1016 Broadway, Oct. 1S.
Kicking and struggling in the arms
of two big deputy sheriffs, Mrs. Mabel
c. Sheahan was forcibly carried from
courtroom to County Jail this afternoon
to serve out two days sentence for
contempt of court. This was the eli
max to number of scenes created by
the woman during the trial of her di-
vorce case against John ]. Sheahan, a
San Francisco insurance adjuster. She
has interrupted the proceedings upon
many occasions during the past few
days and this afternoon, from her seat
in the rear of the room, she told her
brother, who was testifying, not to an
swer certain questions.
Judge Melvin Immediately ordered
the woman into the custody of the
Sheriff. She ran out of the courtroom
and when she saw the deputies after
her she told them to keep away. Dep
uties Sweeney and Simons seized her
and she sat down ON the floor and
compelled them to carry her down the
stairs to the Sheriff's office She made
matters as difficult for them as she
could by kicking, but her struggles
were of no avail. Later Judge Melvin
made an order sending her to jail for
two days and she was carried to the
County Jail. where she will be allowed
to cool off.
j. r. Van Anden, her brother a
youth about Is years of age, was on the
stand at the time the interruption &C.
Cured.
He had testified that he had seen
Sheahan strike his wife and said that
it was while they were living on Lin
den avenue in San Francisco. Van An
den was an inmate at st. Vincent's Or
phan Asylum, near San Rafael, for sew
eral years and Attorney Cochrane, who
was cross-examining him, asked:
When did you go to ST. Vincents
Home?"
Tell him it's none of his business,
shrieked the sister from her seat in the
courtroom.
Both sides finished their direct testi-
mony to-day. Sheahan says that spirits
have caused the difficulty between him
self and his wife and she says it's the
more material, good right hand of her
husband, whom she accuses of striking
her upon any provocation. He states
that they never quarreled during their
married life until about a year ago and
then it was because she became a spir-
itualistic medium and attempted to
turn their home into a resort for be-
levers of her kind.

Republican Rally Holds
Pronounced Attention of
Thousands at Berkeley
KNOWLAND is POPULAR
He Makes Good Impression
and E. Myron Wolf Wins
Applause as Chief Orator
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, Oct. 1S.


ITO those who say that this cam
paign is an apathetic affair / wish to
commend this audience. its size and
enthusiasm, as proof that they do not
know whereof they speak"
Thus spoke Assemblyman w. II.
Waste, chairman of the Republican
rally held tonight in Shattuck Hall,
as he opened the meeting. The hall
was packed to overlooking with scores
standing on both floors. There were
cheers for Chairman Waste, Senator G..
r. Lukens and Senator ]. r. Know
land, Republican nominee for Con-
gress in the Third District, and APP
plause in plenty for E. Myron Wolf.
the principal speaker.
Senator Lukens was introduced as
one who had graduated from the State
University and who at Sacramento
had done very much to advance the
university. In his brief address Sem
ator Lukens referred to the magnif1-
cent results achieved by the univer-
sity,. saying that he took especial
pleasure in helping to further the in
terests of the great university for
which he cherished much admiration
and respect. He described the vigil
lance and efficiency of Assemblyman
Waste and Senator Knowland and
commended them to the people.
Senator Knowland followed, declar-
ing his belief that the university is the
States best investment. He then
touched upon his candidacy for Con-
gress. His declaration made a few
weeks ago that if elected he would
deem himself fortunate in being able to
count upon the advice and assistance
of Hon. Victor H. Metcalf, having been
criticised by his opponent, Candidate
McPike, Senator Knowland reaffirmed
it, saying further that if he ever got to
a point where he ceased to feel the
need of older and more experienced
mems advice, he hoped to be relegated
to private life.
Il love the great State of California, "
said the speaker, land shall welcome
the opportunity to do something for her
in Congress, never forgetting the re-
the man who sits as successor to those
distinguished Californians. Judge Nc
Kenna and Secretary Metcalf."
H. MyrOn Won entertained the duoi-
ence for an hour with witty, logical
and applause compelling address, deal
ing with national issues. He defended
the President from charges that he has
usurped the functions of Congress. ex-
planned the Panama canal incident, ex-
coriated David Bennett Hill, whom he
declared to be "the man behind the
gum in Judge Parker's cause, and
contrasted the sane, safe policy of the
Republican party with that of the
Democracy, which party he declared
to be unworthy Of the suffrages OF
American voters.

Mrs. Eliza Barrie Sues to
Recover Valuable Plate
From Three Defendants
ECHO OF DIVORCE TRIAL
Sensational Accusations Are
Recalled by Suit Which
Berkeley Woman Brings
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call.
214S Center street, Oct. IS.


An echo of the sensational Barrie
divorce suit was heard to-day, when
Mrs. Eliza Barrie filed suit in Justice
Edgar's court to recover silverware
worth $299. now in the possession of
Margaret Wade, Edwin Wade and
Alexander Barrie. The three persons
named are made defendants in Mrs
Barrie's action. All of them were in
volved by Mrs. Barrie in her weird ac-
cusations against Barrie, when she
sued him for divorce a year ago. They
are now presumed to reside at the
Barrie home. 2601 Fulton street,
where Is kept the silverware she
seeks to recover. claiming that it is
her property.
second divorce action between the
Barries is now pending in the Supe-
rior Court of the county. 1t was
brought by Mr.. Barrie as a sequel to
his wife's suit for divorce. which re-
suited in the woman's discontinue in
court, when she failed to obtain the
coveted decree.
Mrs. Barrie startled the community
year ago by declaring that her hus-
band and his nephew, Edwin Wade,
had "railroaded' her to an insane asy-
lum because she objected strenuously
to the alleged improper actions of
Barrie in the home. Mrs. Barrie re-
sented the presence of Margaret
Wade, a niece. in her home and swore
that the husbands actions made the
place unfit for residence for herself
and her young daughter.
Judge Ogden of Oakland heard the
sensational story she had to tell, in
timated his belief that she was not
perfectly sound mentally and denied
her decree.
Barrie then sued for divorce, alleg-
ing cruelty. His wife retorted with a
cross-complaint on statutory grounds,
to which ne entered denial to-day in
the Superior Court while his wife was
suing him in the Justices Court of
Berkeley.

Fruitvale Editor, Fearing
Plot, Secures Warrants
for Wholesale Arrests
WAS KEPT A PRISONER
Colonel Frank Lynch Says
Carl Hartwick Picketed
His Home With Shotgun
Oakland Office San Francisco Call
1915 Broadway, Oct. IS.

lOlb 6IOdQnags w.
A feud of nearly two years standing
among some Of the residents OF Fruit
vale. which has several times resulted
in arrests and battles in court has
again broken out with renewed Vlo-
lence. Already three men have been
arrested on charges of disturbing the
peace, and warrants are out for TWO
more, who are wanted on the same
charge. The complaints are all sworn
u by Colonel Frank Lynch editor ana
proprietor of the Fruitvale News, who
charges the men with having made
threats against his life.
The men arrested this afternoon
are: (. L. Blackman, Eugene Dean
and Carl Hartwick. Constable Nor
ris Lane is now searching for the other
two, c. Stickney and Michael Carron.
Lynch says that last night the FIVE
men named came to the Satro Park
Hotel and after calling him TO the
door, abused him in violent terms and
ended by exhibiting revolvers and
threatening his life. He also alleges
that for nearly two hours this after
noon Hartwick paraded Up and down
in front of the hotel with a double
barreled shotgun on his shoulder and
dared the proprietor TO come out.
Lynch, however, believed discretion TO
be the better part Of valor and re-
NAMED inside.
The origin of the present trouble
dates back nearly two years to a fight
between Blackman and a man named
Lane over the lease of a piece of prop
erty in Fruitvale, which was used by
Blackman as a wood and coal yard.
Lane, who owned the property, or
dered Blsckman to vacate, and when
he went for the keys a fight followed,
in which Lane was worsted. He then
had Blackman arrested on a charge Of
assault with a deadly weapon. alleg-
ing that the latter had struck him
with an iron bar. Blackman was af-
terward acquitted.
A number of the residents of Fruit
vale took sides in the row and the
feud has been internationally carried on
ever since.
