FIFTY CENTS
FOR HER FOOD
Wife of Furniture Dealer
Says He Compelled Her to
Eat at Cheapest Places
MARRIES WHILE DRUNK
James Lawler Asks Court
to Annul Union Contract
ed During Maudlin Spree

Flora Karlson, whose husband owns
new and second hand furniture stores
a 1915 Market street and 1131 Mission
street, yesterday sued him for divorce
on the ground of cruelty and got an
order of the court temporarily restrain
ing him from dispOsing of his property.
In her recital of his mistreatment she
says that on various occasions he as
saulted her with his fists a chair, iron
bar and iron hook. He was so parsi-
mcnious, she says, that ne would allow
her no money for household expenses
and compelled her to eat at cheap res
taurants, giving her fifty cents a day
with which to satisfy the cravings of
the inner woman.
James Lawler, who, according to his
attorney, James p Sweeney, is no per-
son of consequence, recovered from a
spree on the first of this month to find
that he had been robbed of his single
blessedness. He applied 10 the Superb
or Court yesterday to annul his mar
riage with Katie Redwin, which, he
says, took place on August 81, alleg-
ing that on that date he was "un-
conscious and maudlin from the excess
sive use of alcoholic stimulants." He
was not aware of his actions at the
and the marriage ceremony performed
when he did not know what he was
doing. An examination of the records
shows that the license was not issued
in this county.
Harold E. Elliot a drummer for ].
j. Adams & Co. of New York, yester-
day filed an answer to the suit of his

him with cruelty and intemperance and
said that while living with him they
were elected from various apartments
for non-payment of rent and bills. He
denies her charges specifically and in
return accuses her of a fondness for
the company of other men.
Divorces were granted by Judge Ora
ham to Flora Cantwell from John

from Barton G. Monroe, desertion; by
Judge Sloss to Minnie L. Hatch from

SUTRO TRUST CLAUSE is
DEFENDED IN ARGUMENT
Attorney a. Il. Morrison Contends
That Provision OF VIII Is Valid
and Essence of Charity.

A. F. Morrison, one of the attor-
neys for DR.. Emma L. Merritt, exec
utrix of the will of Adolph Sutro, be-
gan his argument in defense of the
charity trust clause of the will yes
terday morning and had not finished
when court adjourned yesterday after
noon. He will resume next Thursday.
Mr.. Morrison argued many law points
in support of the validity of such a
trust as the one created by Sutro and
in disproving the argument of the
other side that it was a perpetuity
against public policy.
The lawyer read and analysed the
provisions of the will relating to the
trust and declared it could not be
imagined that a scheme for immoral
use of the property or private gain
would be formulated by the high pub
lie officials who are to constitute the
permanent board of trustees. The rule
against perpetuities, said Mr.. Morri-
son, was against the greed of selfish
men who wanted to build UP big for
tunes and big families In Sutro's
case 1T was an exhibition of his faith
IN the future of this community. He
had not made the trust for the bene-
fit OF the Sutro family or for himself
unless in the glory that would come
to his memory but the benefits would
come into being after the last of his
children was dead. There was not an
element of selfishness in Sutro's inten-
ton; 1t was the very essence of char
ity and entirely for the advancement
of the public good.

ERA OF GOLD SUCCEEDS PERIOD

State Chamber of Commerce Notifies the World Of
Conditions Differing From Those of Early Days.
Mineral Products of California and Colorado

figures for September. The yield of
August sold for $2,5OO,OO0. The Calu-
met and Hecla produced 100000
pounds in July and 6,500,0O0 pounds in
August. No other property quite
reached the 1000, 000- pound mark.
In his address at the banquet given
in his homer at the Hotel St. Francis
in this city the past week, Secretary
Metcalf of the Department of Com
merce and Labor spoke of the great
mineral production of Colorado and
made some comparison with the out
put of California. The production of
Colorado for 1903 was $22. 600, 900 in gold,
in round figures; $1S,935,124 in silver;
7,S09,920 pounds of copper; 1O1, 51S,414
pounds of lead, and 7569,26S tons of
coal. The official figures submitted by
State Mineralogist Aubury as repre-
senting the mineral output of California
in 1909 are summarized in brief, for
products of leading Importance, by
values as follows. Gold, SIC, Al ,264;
copper. $2,52o,997 rubble, $1,2S7, 419;
quicksilver, 1885, 1854; petroleum, 81
313,271; lime and limestone, $592.26S;
granite. $67S,670 asphalt, S503,659; Dor
ak, 1861, 400; cement, 1868, 727; brick, ST.
999,546; macadam, $496, 172; mineral
waters, $55S.20l; natural gas, $75,237;
salt, $211,365; sandstone, $5S5,309, and
silver, SOL IA.
Secretary Metcalf's long address may
not have been read in full by some
California miners. What the Secretary
said about mining is segregated from
other topics and reproduced here for
it's interest in this particular connec-
ton:
For long time after the discovery of gold
upon the Pacific Coast California was regarded
by the rest of the world as great mining
camp, dependent chiefly upon her output of
gold and silver for a growth. which was
sometimes stigmatized as mushroom in its
character But recent years have changed all
that. The mining camp long since became
settled and prosperous community whose
varied activities extend into all fields OF in
dustry. and the reputation Of our State no
longer rests solely upon the products of Its
mines. Indeed. a producer of precious
metals Colorado now far outranks us, produc-
ing almost twice much gold and silver as
we do. In 1902 our mines produced about
SIG. 192 600 worth of gold constituting over
une-fifth Of the product of the United States,
and the total production of our State from the
year in which gold began TO be produced in
commercial quantities TO the present time is
about $1,3Si, 000 0oO, which is 54.4 per cent.
or more than half of the total value of all
Of the gold that has been produced in the
United States.

WALL STREETS RUMOR
Block of Stock Believed
to Be Held in the Interest
of the Union Pacific
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Sept 23.-There was a
Stock Exchange rumor this afternoon
that almost 100000 shares of Atchison
had been transferred by big banking
house to Rockefeller interests, which
the rumor had it. would hold the stock
in the interest of the Union Pacific.
The report ran directly counter to the
guesses of last week, that there had
been some kind of a breach between
+. ii. Hartman and his Rockefeller
allies.
The Atchison Company has outstand-
ing STA. 1873, 500 preferred. and S102, 900,

entire outstanding stock Of the Atchi-
son system is. therefore, Sl0S, 09s, $50.
The rumored purchase of 100000
shares of Atchison common, having a
par value OF $5O,O00, 900, would give of
itself, an amount less than one-half of
the outstanding common stock and less
than one-quarter OF the entire stock
issue. Such block would, however IN
all probability carry control

Three Days of Pleasure at Mark West

Where Santa Rosa in the valley lies.
beneath the arch of ever smiling skies
a week ago, on idlest pleasure bent, Teu-

there four stages decked with banners
gay. each with four steeds to haul the
crowd away, stopped for their coming
thence to Mark West Springs were
whirled away swift as on eagles wings
Arriving, with their appetites in
creased by mountain air, they eager
sought the feast prepared by that famed
chef-Mrs. Beguhl-and each gave
praise and ate till all were full. What
pen can do full justice to the spread
with so superb caterer at the head
The President-F. Gercke-in a speech
gave generous welcome unto all and
each. while guests and members to the
toasts responded until the groves with
loud huzZas resounded.
At night a ball. whence Care and Mel

arrant Folly-burned on a pyre raised in
a sylvan dell. and 'all went merry as a
marriage bell"
Each guest lantern bore in long pro-
cession. while at the last. to serve a

fresh delight the revelry that stirred the
quiet night
On Sunday a prize shoot took place,
where men and women married the tar

At night a minstrel show so full Of
joshes that many wished they had put
on galoshes tears so profuse were there
in laughter shed DER some live jokes and
some a long time dead.
Herr Biltner was the one particular
star the audience hailed as being best by
far. Whenever in his stunt there came a
pause the welkin rang with deafening
applause. Chen came another banquet.
Why repeat illusions to a feast COM
plete in every smallest detail to invite
attention cen from frailest appetite!
Many the favors which the guests en-
joyed and through it all their bliss was
unalloyed until on Monday, when they
all departed. and hosts and guests alike
were heavy hearted.
To that committee planning these glad
days all present gave the highest need
of praise. F. Gercke, Blanert, c. Geb-

part W. Gercke Hartmann and F..
Schaefer conformity with them made the
programme safer; while to Herr Koerner
and his charming frau none could suffi-
cient praise allow.
At Santa Rosa. waiting for the train,
the singers burst into a glad refrain,
which in the phrasing and the trilling
showed the results of Reige's careful
drilling.
''Toot-tootH the engine blew a warn
